Farewell POE 1, it was fun while it lasted.

I came back to POE 1 at the start of the POE 2 Early Access, after mothballing my account back in 2018. I had a half dozen characters at around level-90 and a dozen inventory tabs full of old gear. My character builds were obsolete, but no matter, they all had free respecs and I had plenty of currency to trade for new gear. It was great exploring all the upgrades to skill gems and improvements to the passive skill tree, plus a whole new Atlas tree to explore. The new builds I tweaked are far more robust than what I had before, and I quickly built my Atlas back up to T16. All in all, my return to POE 1 has been a richly rewarding experience.

Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Patch 3.26, which has ushered in the Secrets of the Atlas league. While I have no issues with the new league mechanics and upgrades, the new patch deleted over 100 legacy maps I'd collected in my map stash tab and erased every node I'd allocated in all three of my Atlas Passive Trees. Arbitrarily nuking my entire endgame investment back to square one effectively terminates POE 1 for me, as I have no interest in slogging through dozens of low-level maps with my high-level characters to recreate what I just spent months building up. Sure, I know the point of each new league is to start over fresh, but I see no reason GGG couldn't have preserved long-term players' investments as well. So long POE, it was an all too brief but gratifying reunion.

EDIT: Resolved, see below.

What a drama man...

Isn't just setting up atlas tree again a possibility? I mean, i change my atlas all the time. Never considered it permanent action.

And if you want maps, i will happily give them to you in standard. I don't play standard at all and if i had the option I would auto delete most stash tabs i have there. If you want, just ping me in game and you can have all my maps. Including t17s - i should have few hundreds of those. Right now my name is BallsOfMerlin.

Deleting old maps is weird, aren't there vendor conversion recipes for this ??

(In other news, GGG seems kind of lazy with automatic migrations ?? Still haven't been auto-migrated with 3.26...)

deleting maps is definitely a bug, it should not be a case. report it, maybe they can restore them. also - if you have lots of stash tabs, then seem to mix the ordering so maybe you are missing that tab (or have 'hide remove only tabs' in tab options)

regarding atlas - yep, in the past you could just run one rare shaper guardian map and have 95% of atlas restored, but this league it no longer is the case it seems

i would not drop a game because of just this, but i can absolutely understand the frustration

Thanks for the tip, sidtherat, "Hide Remove-Only Tabs" was indeed the problem. Converting my legacy maps to the new league solved my problem.

Then why is this post still up? SMH

It's now even more up because you bumped it
(yes, and so did I, but I don' get what you're complaining about ?).

The thing I was most disappointed in on logging in to PoE1 was that they kept the old Gem system, As I far preferred PoE2's gem system. As of now I'm dropping PoE1 for PoE2, Now I'm not saying I'm gonna do that permanently, I may come back but any time soon I think not
