I hope they jumble the atlas for 3.1. I mean we know that they're going to add new maps based on the tilesets/bosses (hype for snow map) but I want them to jumble the gently caress out of it, shaping strategies are lame.

Discovered a fun bug; tp out of rotting core right after you kill the depraved trinity, before it sucks you out into the act end. When you comeback in, the arena is still there and the depraved trinity is just sitting there with 0 hp. You can't trigger the transition though, so you have to reroll the instance to get past. Makes for a great place to trade though, very imposing :V

I really hope they rework the pantheon system at some point because it is very boring.

i dont mind the bonuses being generally pretty minor since it means i dont feel like i need to change them around all the time depending on what im doing

theshim posted:You know that just means it'll take people a week tops to come up with new optimized shaping strategies. Spergs are always gonna sperg, no matter what. I hope they keep balancing the atlas so that there isn't the "one true strategy". I feel like nerfing strand was a strong step towards this - 3.0 had a lot more diversity in what you could run.

i guess going from strand to spider forest or vault is technically a 100% improvement

Oh I fully expect it to be mathed out before the end of the first week. I hated running strands so much but it was just SO GOOD. I don't mind that there's a solid shaping strategy, it just shouldn't be heads and shoulders above everything else and should at least change from time to time, like every other league.

The easiest and I think simplest conceptual way to break shaped meta is to have shaped maps naturally "connected" to the closest T-1 and T+1 maps on their path to the center, which kills the only drop the one shaped map strategy. e.g. T11 Strand would be considered linked to Arsenal, Crematory, and Estuary [aka Chateau links] T11 Spider Forest would be linked to Malformation and Necropolis (RIP) [aka Excavation] T13 Shore would be linked to Ivory Temple, Plateau, and Maze [aka Plaza and Scriptorium] T15 Colonnade links to Springs and Hydra [aka Overgrown Ruin] lurksion fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Nov 7, 2017 |

I like shaped strats, maybe just don't let The Doctor drop on a map you can shape? Either way there is always going to be a best way to do things and I'd like to not have to mess with sextants/the atlas more to get the same returns Wezlar fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Nov 7, 2017 |

I ran 800 spider forests before I got my first Doctor, which is above average. If you got Zana 8 early, people were seeing average of 200-300 maps per Doctor, which is still pretty horrendous, but bearable.

Is it actually practical to max Zana without buying daily rotations or prophecies? That's my main gripe with endgame mapping right now. I've been playing all league and I still never got up to Breaches.

yeah i did zana's dailies every day and did her quests each time they came up in mapping and i got zana 8 on like october 30th; i don't know how you'd get her two weeks into a league without ruthlessly efficient master sharing

Buy the prophs and run them in t16 maps.

If they do something to break shaping strategies, I really hope they undo the pack density nerfs in exchange. Maps felt so empty this league.

It seems like they wanted to make the vanilla maps lovely, and force players to spend extra currency on Zana mods and chisels and so on to get better drops and XP and pack size. I doubt they're going to make maps better, but maybe the league gimmick will be better.

If you've been one of the handful of people still playing, then you've probably heard me bitching about how I've never gotten a single good uber lab helm enchant despite ~500ish runs (over multiple leagues). Well Bitch no more! This morning I enchanted The Tempest helm with +2 barrage and it sold for 90 exalted within the first hour! I actually was somewhat regretting not trying for more since it sold so fast, but it is the end of the league and I'd much rather have the money. Anyway later today I saw that there was only 1 hour left before Lab reset so I figured why not buy another Tempest and do my favorite uber lab again. I got Blade Vortex Duration! Mathil just did a EK/BV build using the Tempest so I figured its gotta be worth some money, and sure enough, every one listed is for 15exalted or more. In hindsight though I wish I didn't list it. Next run I enchanted a Starkonja with +2 Barrage. Plus I picked up a rare quiver off the floor and corrupted +1 Additional Arrow. Feel free to hate me right now, but it won't phase me because I'm floating on cloud9  Deep down though I'm thinking I may have just hosed my RNG for both upcoming races and probably the entire next league.

I did basically the same thing a couple weeks ago. As penance to RNGsus I ran nothing but beachhead rotations from 80-100 on a full support scion.
