It's Time To Upgrade Your Map Tab, GGG

After 3 days of Atlas exploration, my progress are:
*16 watchstone from the four corner (Lira Arthain, Lex Ejoris, Haewark Hamlet, New Vastir)
* 4 Awakening Level (4 Citadel with each watchstone)
* 1st fight with Awakener, failed
Bugs found:
- Map loss after conversion in my first day
- Vaal orb breaks your red map
- Horizon orb breaks your shaped map
- Map tab didnt function probably with old shaped map
Edit 1, from my comment
The current tab sorts maps according to map tier only. My idea is that:
- the 1st layer is classified by "Specialty", like atlas's region, blight, unique area
- the 2nd layer is classified by "Tier", just like the usual
so:
- when I want to play "breach map", no matter what tier it was, I just choose "Glennach Cairns" and choice the tier of breach I want
- when I want to play "Blight map", I just choose "Blight" and pick the map I want
- when I want to play "Unique map",.........same as condition 1......... (unique map have different tier now, and is not suitable to sort under Atlas's region)

I don't know if it's a known issue, or if it's working as intended, but upgranding maps through recipe (3 of 1 kind) only gives 1 fixed outcome even if more than one higher level maps are linked on the atlas.
I.E. in my case shores only gives marshes even if shores is visualluy linked to another map of the same level of marsh on the atlas... no matter how many combinations I tried.
7
I tried with white maps, it has different outcome with different combination
4
Good to know thanks, I guess I was just unlucky then... I mean I tried different combinations with 12 shores
3
Some maps it works, and for others it doesn't. There definitely is a bug going on with the 3:1 recipe, I tried messing around with a few hundred maps. And there were some where it simply didn't work as expected.
Looks like Shore is one of those maps. I just tested with 50 of them, and could only vendor them up to Marshes, which isn't even adjacent.

Selling 6, 9, or 12 identical maps gives multiple different maps of the next tier
edit: added the word "identical"

Not always the case, as stated by someone else.
1
Hopefully this is seen before the next patch and can be implemented quickly. It's obviously something they never thought about.
A simple tab at the top for each region could possibly fix the issue for now. Or even being able to search by region.

ya. The current tab sort maps according to map tier only. My idea is that:
- the 1st layer is classified by "Specialty", like atlas's region, blight, unique area
- the 2nd layer is classified by "Tier", just like the usual
so:
- when I want to play "breach map", no matter what tier it was, I just choose "Glennach Cairns" and choice the tier of breach I want
- when I want to play "Blight map", I just choose "Blight" and pick the map I want
- when I want to play "Unique map",.........same as condition 1......... (unique map have different tier now)

Map loss after conversion in my first day
I was so mad about this. Losing all my guardian maps really pissed me off.
2
What does map conversion mean? I've read this quite a few times now but not sure what you mean. Can you convert your maps to a higher tier after you upgraded them in the Atlas? Or what? I'm probably being dumb here lol
1
It’s referring to converting maps to equivalents in standard league.
2
Ohhh 🤦♂️
1
i wonder.. can orb of horizon get your white t3 map in 1 orener to a t14 in another if your lucky? :D
1
no you can't. u can only OOH into another same tiered map and they seem to be region locked too.
1
what exactly do you mean with map loss after conversion? thanks
1
Replacing a convoluted, confusing and overly complicated map system with another convoluted, confusing and overly complicated map system sure was a great design decision.
1
Also one tab to show all the blighted maps.

Was going to say this too, like the unique maps currently have.
1
i am rather salty that the map conversion ate up all my maps in standard.
i had zero burial chambers and after conversion, had a full stash but that isn't going to get me far coz they are all low tiered. meanwhile many of my other maps that i had half a stash for, became empty.
11
I was lucky enough to login after they disable the map conversion button.
But, Vendor recipe is broken too, I took my entire 3.8 legacy Tier 7 maps (all diff types, 1 each). Do you know what vendor recipe they give me? All the T7 types from 3.8 vendor into T7 Precinct map lol.
All my 3.8 legacy Shaped map in mash stash is broken too. The map is invisible now.
I vendor recipe some T5 into Marshes map T5, Tropical Island map T5. Did those 2 maps in blue, it doesnt even add to Atlas completion. (my atlas is still all white)
This whole atlas is broken, I cant even proceed my Altas in Standard because the recipe is soo messed up, some maps you obtained from vendor recipe (from a legacy 3.8 map) doesnt even complete my atlas.
4
sad to know
1
it remind me last year conversion.
map disapeared, but as still present on map tab (you couldn't change map series because tab were not empty, even if visually looked to be empty)
I hope it' s not the same...
1
I had to vendor every map I had in my map tab and make mules for them just to be able to hold my maps and to convert the tab to a new one. Took me like an hour to do it. GGG fucked up standard this league again.
2
and i don't know wtf my t16 guardian maps went. i kept a few outside the map stash becoz i don't trust ggg lol.

I tend to play SSF standard as a primary focus. Not touching the game until the map tab, maps generally and Atlas are fully working. I got 5000+ maps in my Map tab and I'm not risking them getting killed by the convert button because the current tab isn't functioning properly for the current Atlas.
1
read my comment above, maps from vendor recipe is broken. Save your time play another game, or play league.
3
Yeah, the regions not being marked makes it incredibly un-intuitive to do the new Atlas progression/watch tower stuff.
7
Map tab is currently bugged (again). People lost thousands of maps after converting old maps in Standard.

People lost thousands of maps after converting old maps in Standard.
Surprisingly enough, I was not even surprised. As they say "you'll never see it coming".
2
The fact that you don't use different colours for your stash tabs infuriates me. Just thought that was a really important thing to put out there.
5
And full words too. All my tabs are $, M, E, U etc
3
I usually use Single Color for a league.
2
As a standard player, I approve. It helps organize everything after league ends.
I usually just recolour them before league ends though.
1
Yes this is driving me crazy
3
How the F do you have so many maps alrdy my god
3
My guess is that it's standard, not league.
5
Non-stop grinding, that's how ;)
1
Read the first comment he's talking about losing maps to conversion, something that you only need to do in Standard.
1
This expansion has really brought a lot of QoL stuff to the forefront. We desperately need this updated honestly, because it's a current pain in the absolute ass
2
I think it should just be the 8 regions instead of the tier buttons, and then it could fit 3 rows of maps for each region instead
2
I'm not sure how easy this is to fix on GGG'a end in a short time frame. An easier solution that might solve the problem is putting the region in the map description as searchable text.
2
I would be happy if they at least did this.
2
While they are at it, maybe they can make the mods searchable.

Woah now. Lets not get ahead of ourselves!

It is so crazy to see how unfinished new expansions and leagues are when it comes to QoL improvements or just simple adaptions... I love GGG for what they do with PoE but this is getting a bit frustrating, season after season... one of the downsides if you push out content so quickly?
2
Just started getting into maps. Yes please.
2
Why are all your tabs the same colors how do you play like that
2
We need this please please please

Yep, it's absolute pain now.
On a side note I really don't like current Atlas. It's so boring and uneventful. Also so many maps are white.
1
Isn't the point that the watchstones upgrade them to yellow and red? I'm not that far yet but that was the impression I was under.
1
Yeah and I don't like that there is hundred white maps by default. Chasing Elderslayers isn't fun either. At least it's not RNG-gated now.
1
Quit last league 3-4 weeks in, was pleasantly surprised that when you type "Blight" in the map tab it now correctly highlights tiers and map icons.
I mean, I don't care, release a map tab v2.0 separately and let me give you money again but for the love of all incompetent gods please try playing your own game for an hour or two.

Yes please, such a pain going back and forth to check what map is in what region
If you click on your stash, then while you character is walking towards it, you open your atlas, you can have your atlas and stash open at the same time.
It's still a pain in the ass, but it at least saves you from going back and forth.
4000 hours and i didnt know that. Thanks, that helps until they come up with something better.
And ctrl+right click on the map zooms to the right place of the atlas, so this makes it somehow manageable.
Just right clicking should be enough.
why does this not work for me?
This is clunky, but I'll still use in in the meantime. Thanks for the tip.
I'm so gonna try that because seriously fuck that shit
you can also click on your stash without letting go and then open your atlas and then let go of your mouse
Good for the meantime, but GGG really needs to get on this
Sounds like a bug/exploit
They should have add : Mouse over the map itself to show which region this map belong to. I cant believe such QoL actually got overlooked.
You must be new around here..
Its especially painful when half of the maps are hidden depending on how many watchstones you have socketed in.
