Choosing to not Complete Maps on the Atlas
Thank you for listening to our concerns, Chris! Trainwreck averted. :)
However, I'm not sure about the price of respeccing. Without seeing the Sextant drop rate I can't say that it's too expensive or not. But I'm surprised that it's not free or trivial. Completing a map already takes an effort and a cost which could be pretty high for the top tiers. I don't think it should cost more to 'un-complete' it. A Sextant of the appropriate color plus an Orb of Regret sounds entirely reasonable, IMO. ETA: You don't need to add any special currency either, unless it's a technical requirement. Consider this: in order to 'forget' a map, give Zana a copy of that map + Sextant of the same color + Orb of Regret. Last edited by Kelvynn on Aug 25, 2016, 2:24:36 PM

" Thanks for the answers. The rarest things to get from bosses are the +2 maps. The +2 maps should always be able to drop, even if the higher tier isn't discovered yet. Atleast, that's how I feel about it. Players are able to buy maps and simply drop into the progression at any point, but the ones playing cannot get +2 maps to drop while playing and progressing normally through the atlas for the first time? Just seems very wrong to me. I am still very excited for the AoW expansion though. |

Well, I'm planning to discover the whole atlas anyway, but good to know I can somehow change/revert the progression if needed.

" Many people like me like to play efficient. We plan our builds days before league starts, we plan our gem setups, tree, ascendancy points, pretty much everything. Now we are not in your way, we do not hinder your fun in the game in any way. You will explore your atlas as you see it fit. We do not care, we wish you have most fun you can get. With that being said, it is in GGG best interest to make bad and unattractive maps fun for our group of players, because playing same map in same tier over and over again gets bored and people stop to play. Which in the end is GGG loss. It is possible that both groups have fun with some more thought and effort. Having "content" of 10 000 maps and 10 of those being better by a lot is worse then having 50 maps that are equally good, be it because of better layout, more mobs, better currency drops, more divination cards and so on.

If you're so efficient, how come you only got 22 challenges done this late in league? I'm not trying to be an ass, but it does beg the question.
I can honestly say by now in prophecy I've done every map w/exception of abyss. I'm not an efficient player, it's a game, so strangely enough, I wanna have fun! Censored. Last edited by kolyaboo on Aug 25, 2016, 6:27:00 PM

"It is. We have a 100 maps to explore and benefits to unlocking the entire atlas. But since some in the player base have to be all anal about it GGG gave them a way to be efficient. Last edited by Telzen on Aug 25, 2016, 6:35:42 PM

" This is a really great idea! They should definitely implement something like this. It would make players actively search for maps that are beneficial and/or risky for their character. I think the idea of adding a currency that "is not trivially cheap" to lock maps is absolutely idiotic. Just make it so that non-adjacent maps (except Tier 1s) cannot drop. That way players can tailor their experience as they please and still explore the Atlas. EDIT: Also, now that we've introduced non-transferable consumables. Have you considered making maps non-transferable as well? At the end of the day, the rich get richer by buying the "optimal" maps and/or trading these. Why not make it so that each player has to earn their "optimal" maps? Last edited by theslap on Aug 25, 2016, 6:51:47 PM
