Map Sustain Sucks

Dude...if you guys tied Map Sustain to item rarity I'm gonna be so tilted. Like...wasn't this already a problem in POE1 and you guys fixed map sustain in poe 1 because it was so god awful to find next tiers in map and sustain the maps of your choice.

Now its less about layout and more about tier, but how is it me dropping in 6 mods+vaal on maps plus 3 full tablets only gets me 2 maps top both being the same tier.

Meanwhile a rarity juicer is doing the same map getting 5-6 maps plus a tier up?

The main games content is tied to these tiers and running low tier maps only yields low tier maps regardless of your level. So in order to reach the actual end game bosses in any kind of consistent way we get 1 life for the whole tier the npc vendor sells 2 tiers backwards for maps.

Thats as far as im gonna go with it before I full tilt but....

WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!?! Like if build diversity wasn't bad enough now we have to build rarity just to finish the game? LITERALLY!!!??? EVERY CHARACTER?!?!

I had absolutely no problem with sustain in this league, regardless of how much I juiced the waystones. The bosses (which you have in every map now) always drop at least one waystone and if you do expedition logbooks, there are often waystone chests that drop 5 - 6 at once.

Of course you should also spec your atlas to increase waystone quantity in general and if all fails, there's still Doryani who now sells high tier waystones, too.

Compared to 0.1 waystone sustain really shouldn't be an issue.

Prior to 0.3.1 I had 2 tabs full of maps. Now I have 4 tabs full of maps. Idk.
OP probably reforged T14 maps to T15 and then died to bosses, it's a good way to kill map progression :)

Maps? No

Tablets? Yes...if you want decent ones.

Honestly get rid of the gold tablets (like you did the gold shrines) and basically all of the new tablet modifiers. It makes it harder to get the tablets we will actually use. They end up being reforge fodder.
