RIP mapping

But seriously how big % of players actually use sextant blocking? 15% or less? I think less...

Probably far less than even that, i'd love to know what % of the sextants that dropped they actually used compared to the rest of players though.

Much like other players have said i generally think having less currency entering the system will be good in the long run for the average player, as prices should drop by a small amount to compensate.

The ones that actually go crazy with it, very much less. PLayers like me that used it to block a couple mods on a couple maps, probably much higher. Now with their changes i can not even block 2-3 mods for a couple maps, because of how its nerfed. they ruined sextants for me, and i was no wehere near being a hardcore abuser of them. They should have fixed them by not allowing them to stack block how much they did, or limit the amount you have active to like 8-10, but not to overwrite old ones. They could also limit how many affected a single map.

The issue is not sextant blocking, it's that sextants are too rare and expensive for the yield without sextant blocking.

I'm in favor of removing sextant blocking if GGG could at the very least increase their drop rate or remove some of the absolutely pointless sextant affixes that add no value to the map.

They can just make every affix be useful, so no need for sextant blocking anymore.

Now enjoy empty maps with no monsters and no drop.

Not even a little bit. You've mistakenly applied your goals to me. I set my goals and met them, and this was the excess. For instance, I tend to try to get all achievements and be able to beat all content with one build. Success.

If I were to look at your account and apply my goals against it, it appears you failed with 25/40 but that's not what your goal was apparently (or maybe it was...better luck next league). That's just it, if I find myself judging my performance on exalts/hours then I would not feel like I was playing anymore. I have a job for that feeling.

Mapping is about a lot more than just Exalts/Hour. I consider mapping to be an all inclusive experience that includes running hard maps of all tiers without dying.[/quote]


soo why u think its ok too? achivments are boring/no rewarded qests made by ggg to take ur time and what its funny by doing them ? i want make exalts instead "playing for fun" i and probably few others player have fun when they playing effective and now playing maps is dead - its no longer near to other ways for currency making and thys is problem. and if u think low players will have easy life that league im sure that will the same like with ci, they nerfed it becose of poor ppls who cant afford 300 es regalia and then thys players are unable to buy even decent life chest.
i can flip, i can trade i can do hog and i can selling achviments for exalts, i dont care abaut maps but for low players that will be a hit and they will be lower that they was before

and sextants abuse was great and balanced - u invest money too shape and block ur atlas? - u gain profit.
U farm 1 map over and over ? well its grinding gear games not "kids frendly flame totem game"
after they removed they should incr map dens. and probably increased map drop by a lot and fix many layauts to make them easer and faster too play, no one want run 1 map 5 min for 2 alchs and 7 jewles lol

and i can playing for fun but i want at least farm red maps.... witchaut sextants sustain in for example shaped t14/3 map will be hard like hell... or even impossible
if they want force life loosers too playing that game like other ppls doo at least allow us to sit in high maps farming t9/8 its pathetic

where is a reason too farm hh, mirror wand and all that crap when u can 1 shot mobs by mistake with ur movment spell ??lol

u are 100% right , if they will change sextants and make evry mods usefull then they will help low players and basicly block atlas for them, after that change like that evryone will be able too play like thys "pro players" witchaut any effort

whole blocking concept made sextnats effecitve becose u had 90% for good mod, make 100% mods good and then evryone can take profit from them even Flame totem Boby who is too retarded too open poe trade

game is better than ever and more popular than ever.

Uh, no game is popular, but not as popular as it has been. It is also far from the best it has ever been, and keeps slowly going down hill more and more every league.

Oh yeah that's why PoE just hit it's highest number of players online at the same time at Abyss start.
Let me guess, upcoming "PoE is dying" thread tommorow ? Do your searchs before posting such statements.

"The best it has ever been" will change from one player to another and many other factors. Welcome to continuous integration development hope you will have a great time :)
