Mapping Progression is Dead

This is part of the risk with Procedural Generation.

Upside, it is fixable, but it sucks very much that you are stuck with this.

I expect they could easily do something about this 'by hand' in the database, even if that something is resetting your map completion and map seed (though I don't have a clue what the database structure looks like). Heck, depending on how things are coded it might only require them to reset your account seed to solve this.

I hope you get a solution sooner than not.

In the meantime you might be able to continue personal progress via a friends atlas; You won't open up any new nodes on your own obviously, but quests should still be completable.

Hey, sorry about your map. That is actually ridiculously unlucky, unfortunately this will not be an easy fix.

In the meantime, your only option is to switch to a different League and start afresh there, i.e. Hardcore, Solo-Self-Found, SSFHC, or a private League.

In principle if you went to Standard SSF you could eventually merge your SSF Atlas back to Standard (the league atlas with the most completed maps is preserved, the other deleted), although I'm not sure if SSF migrations are currently enabled at this time.


"that is actually ridiculously unlucky"

It shouldn't have even happened, as Mark has said that the atlas is INFINITE.

Why TF would anybody play any other mode but softcore in the game's current state? In HC, you lose your character if you die anyway, so what's the point? No point in SSF because the drops are excruciatingly bad. SSFHC...lmfao. Private league, maybe.

"I'm not sure if SSF migrations are currently enabled at this time."

You would know that if you actually PLAYED THE FUCKING GAME.

Your response is useless and doesn't help OP in the slightest. Should've never responded in the first place.

Logically it makes sense that this wouldn't necessarily be an easy fix so people - quit being rude to Rhys. His reply was succinct and to the point.

There's also probably only a handful of people that this bug is affecting so it's not high on the priority list.

I understand the larger issue at hand may take longer to fix - but a quick easy fix for myself (and the other dude who looks like he has an identical seed) would be giving us new keys, having us make new accounts, and transferring mtx over. Personally - All i have is stash tabs


Bruh, you are the OP of this post. Your ACCOUNT-BOUND atlas is bricked. That you would have to create another account and pay for EA again, just to map again, is so insanely ridiculous and purely unacceptable. It shouldn't matter that just because only a handful of people are affected by this that this isn't a high priority issue. It shouldn't happen AT ALL.

And Rhys' response was utterly worthless, and would've just been better if he hadn't have said anything at all. Fucking unacceptable.

And you're okay with all of this??? What the fuck, dude???

The game was not ready to be launched and required more than just 3 weeks of delay. But this meant missing the peak of the hype and the best sale period.

Someone/some group in GGG developer team screwed up big time and hid their faults until it was too late.

These type of bugs will keep popping up. At the hard crash threads people are using multiple workarounds and third party programs just to make the game not fry their PC.

At the Atlas threads people are reporting lack of nodes.

There are multiple progression blocking bugs.

There are sync issues.

There are half a dozen NVIDIA specific bugs that crash the game or reduce performance to a slideshow.

There are some AMD specific bugs that crash the game or reduce performance to a slideshow.

The GGG developers should have cancelled Christmas and worked. There is no industry in the world where you can drop a product this problematic and take a vacation.

Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.

I cannot send/reply to direct messages because my in-game character has not finished Act 1.
What to do:
1)Write a short review about the hard crashes in notepad.
2)Copy and paste it to steam reviews, put up a negative review.
3)Copy and paste it to steam discussions, put it up there.

Do not mistake my lack of outrage as me being "okay with all of this." I am not. It sucks. I am having a ton of fun with poe2 but not being able to participate in a MASSIVE part of the end game is taking away from the fun.

But me sitting here and screaming at the devs like an upset toddler isn't going to fix the issue any faster. You're absolutely right - I shouldn't need a brand new account to map. But the fact of the matter is that it WOULD be a quick fix. I don't buy any other MTX besides tabs which is why I suggested in another post that a new account, with ea access, and tabs transferred over would at least give me the ability to map again.

As my grandmother always taught me growing up:
"You attract more bears with honey than vinegar." Me screaming at Rhys like a maniac and claiming his incompetence, calling him names, etc. isn't going to make him work any faster or GGG work any faster in general.

I do agree - the response and the proposed solutions are laughable and the fact that I haven't heard ANYTHING else from support aside from that one comment is frustrating. At this point though - I am just not logging into the game.

edit: I will also add that while I understand the holidays are important... launching a title like this with HOW MUCH HYPE was behind it right before the holidays and then no one being around to address issues was malicious at worst and some careless mistake by upper management at best.

Why is this game so heavily luck dependant?
Is that the best you can say?
Bad luck?
Most of us payed to play this game, I don't want to be answered "Bad luck my man".

Chill my dude. You payed to be part of *early access*. Where things happen that are not supposed to happen. Which are happening.
I’d be willing to try and do a party with you and access a node on my end with a connection that’s broken for you. Maybe us completing it would unbrick it.
