Mapping is painfully bad still... until at least 3.28 XDD

I don't know about you guys but I am not having fun whatsoever with this league. Mind you I think the ascendancies and foulborn uniques are great, but the now compounding nerfs to mapping are horrendous. The previous 3 leagues I farmed a mageblood without too much trouble (yes it took a while but at least it was steady progress). This league after the plethora of nerfs however it feels SO SO SO BAD. I have played for quite a bit and I haven't even seen a single divine orb drop or something else that has decent value. I feel like I am at work instead of playing my favorite game. I have like 2500 hours in this game and not once (not even when I was dogshit at the game) have I had such a bad time. And then people come with feedback saying mapping is in a terrible spot and what they do is give a few piss-buffs like it's going to fix the problem instead of idk ? maybe reverting some changes people are unhappy with?? I know, wild and dangerous ideas :o!!!

They won't change anything. They stopped listening to their players. Don't even try.

Here's a good benchmark for "is mapping loot in a bad spot?"

1) Run the map yourself "alch and go" style regardless of atlas tree choices.

2) Have your kingsmarch mappers run it "alch and go" style.

If the loot results to #2 are superior to #1, then mapping loot is "broken" and in 3.2.7 that is a resounding YES.

"Okay, fine, we hear you. Kingsmarch mappers getting nerfed next league."

Do you wanna hear whats is really funny? There are people making money this league. Because they did their homework and understood what they need to do to earn currency. The best thing about this game is the league reset, and The changes they bring on every season. Every league you need to study The best builds, farms etc. If everything was always The same, we would not play this league after league. But, whinners are whinners. The want to clear campaign in 4h with any skill, or they will come here and say build divetsity is trash. They want to see tinks with any farm strat they know, or they will say The game is dead and ggg is bad. They dont want to plan, study, or try. They want to login and do whatever and see The kills and tinks. If that goes wrong, they go to youtube to see what streamers are doing. If The info isnt there, they cry.

The thing is, one of the main of appeal of this game is sandbox environment.
I didn't have problems with ground baseline with last 6 leagues. If you remove the options from the game, and force me to do content I don't enjoy, I think it's not rocket science that it will piss me off.

They look back at Affliction League and immediately go, “WhEeRe Is MuH LoOoT???”, as if the game isn’t currently tossing rewards at players like left and right. In reality, nothing major has changed, except that making currency is actually easier than ever this patch.

And honestly, anyone who relies purely on just raw Divine drops to fund their entire build has already lost the game before they even leave the Twilight Strand. That’s not a farming strategy, that’s a reality check patiently waiting for them.

But the moment some players can’t copy last league’s “streamer-approved meta build” or run the exact same farming route they’ve done for three patches straight, everything suddenly feels catastrophic. Then it becomes, “They hurt muh gameplay loop… me upset and mildly distressed now. League bad, loot bad...”

Instead of adapting, the fastest reaction is to complain about systems that are frankly still functioning perfectly fine.
Not a sad state of the game, just a sad state of the community.

"We increased the average wage of level 5 mappers to 50k per hour and increased the minimum chance for a mapper to die to 20%."

These jokes write themselves.

I personally think it’s perfectly healthy for someone who’s dissatisfied to go on a forum and voice their complaints, especially if they’re not actively playing the game. What I find truly sad, however, are the people who feel obligated to defend the game, praise it, and dismiss the complaints of those who are unhappy. If you’re satisfied with the game, shouldn’t you just play it instead?
