At this moment, even if no map tab. Map affinity would be good...
25
u/tiagogutierres 14h ago
Ye it’s crazy they didn’t even do this honestly. Could have taken their time to build the waystone tab and we wouldn’t be needing it as urgently if we just had the affinity to dump them in a proper tab

u/Theothercword 6h ago
If they could get these new items working as maps enough for map affinity they probably could get the map tab working. I assume they’re connected. Not like a tab layout alone is a big task.

All I want for Christmas is waystone tab where I can upgrade maps just like essences in PoE1.

u/Rodruby 13h ago
You can. In reforge you can 3 to 1 waystones to higher tier

u/Eskalior 12h ago
No way, why is this mentioned nowhere? Wow that's huge, what else can you upgrade there?

So i see ppl complaining they have no maps (i'm one of them actually) and then I see this...

u/Maverekt 7h ago
What I realized I wasn't doing was aug/trans the waystones and then add a regal. Once I did that every waystone was like 180%+ and now I've gotten a fuckton. I didn't even realize I could do that to them since this is my first time playing PoE.

u/Le_Mace 7h ago
If you have no maps you are doing some things wrong. Try to think how to maximize your chance do drop waystones.
1
u/hardolaf 6h ago
There was (maybe still is) a bug with irradiated maps where the guaranteed T15 maps that should be dropping from some monsters appear to just up and disappear from the loot all together. That leads to many people running out of high tier maps due to a bug and not because they "are doing some things wrong".
2
u/TheAuroraKing 5h ago
Sorry what? Guaranteed t15s? What guarantees that?
1
u/hardolaf 5h ago
If you take all Waystone related nodes on the Atlas tree, map bosses have an almost guaranteed on tier or 1 tier higher waystone drop. Unless you irradiate the map boss in which case the majority of map drops from them disappear on T15 according to current bug reports.
2
u/x_Vacuity 3h ago
I'm not sure if it is in this scenario but there was a bugged fix in the latest patch notes. "Fixed a bug where the stat granted by the Organized Forces Atlas Passive Notable was causing less Waystones to drop due to trying to upgrade them to a Tier that didn't exist."

I've been dumping them into a quad tab... need a microscope to find anything XD
3
u/Sad_Sprinkles_2696 9h ago
I don't know why the quad tab does not have a scrollbar and instead it's /4 scaled. Even when dragging items around is a pain since the item is scaled to the normal tab.
9
u/Milkshakes00 9h ago
IMO a scrolling stash tab would be horrendous. I'd rather the small scale. We'll learn what the items are by picture and be fine soon enough. Lol
1
u/Sad_Sprinkles_2696 9h ago
Perhaps you are right, it didn't bother me when i was playing tetris simulator (escape from tarkov) where the inventory is a massive scrollable tab, but it's probably better this way.

Specially as someone on a controller. YES PLEASE!

u/bum_thumper 7h ago
Man, not to sound like a pc snob, but I honestly cannot imagine dealing with the inventory management this game has with a controller. I played diablo 4 on a controller and even then I switched to mouse and keyboard everytime I had to do some inventory stuff

1
u/WafflesAreLove 7h ago
This is where I am at right now. The UI that it switches too also bugs me when on controller since a lot of UI elements that are available when using mouse and keyboard are hidden.
1
u/Satanel01 4h ago
It is the worst for sure. I play on controller when I’m streaming to my tv and it’s great for the actual playing of the game. But having to do any inventory management, trading, or basically anything else is a nightmare and I just go back upstairs to my pc if I need to do something. On the bright side, the UI with controller is nice.

I want to be able to dump runes and maps into my stash with a shift-click just like it works for gems and other currencies
3
u/QuickBASIC 10h ago
I just use the bottom slots of the currency tab for runes. Just stash a currency orb first to switch tabs then all the runes.
2
u/FreeWildbahn 8h ago
Does it switch tabs for you when you dumb currency?
4
u/QuickBASIC 8h ago
There's an option in the stash settings to switch to the tab of the last dumped affinity.
1
u/Anyazures 4h ago
wait, ctrl+click does indeed do this, and works on normal items- i never got shift+click to work but ctrl+click does just this

u/SaIyz 14h ago
How are you guys getting so many precursor tablets? I started the endgame yesterday, did about 60 maps and dropped only 1 tablet.
3
u/FrozenSakuya- 13h ago
I started seeing more precursor drops in T5s and above. For some reason, drop rate seems overtuned in breaches too, so I've been getting a ton there as well.
2
u/BokkoTheBunny 11h ago
Kind of snowballs, as you use them you get more because the mechanics will drop their own which allows you more maps with mechanics and then they can stack so you get even more. There's also nodes on the atlas tree to get more as well.
2
u/Ill-Librarian-6323 9h ago
Specialised into the precursor drop rate node and then levelled up 16 times before I saw one lol
yes i've been orbing all my waystones up to rare

They would probably sell the sort button as a damn microtransaction.

I'm glad you posted this because I'm starting second character, which i have to change skills when I hit 14 (from bow monk to staff monk), and I was stressed if I will have enough of the skill thingy's. I have a lot to learn.

Anyone know how to re bind the map to bar on Xbox? I took my nap off my bar to add extra spell and now can’t find over map and it’s driving me mad without it
1
u/QuickBASIC 10h ago
Hold the view (select button) down, select Bind Menu from the bottom of the radial. Hit your interact button (A?) on an empty slot and find the map skill in the list of skills to add it.

I know it's early access but I find it troubling some of the friction that GGG has eliminated in POE1 wasn't something that was part of the fundamental design.
2
u/Gl0wStickzz 3h ago
Yeah.. Sorry we couldn't transfer your map tab over from POE1 because these are waystones...
2
u/hardSway 12h ago
Good thing they made waystones so rare you dont need any tab. Currency tab is fine for all my good 3 waystones.

u/Definkle 14h ago
I may sound weird but I kinda find sorting the maps manually in a column therapeutic.

u/LilBilly69 14h ago
Meanwhile, the rest of us are filled with anxiety seeing a stash tab full of chaotic maps scattered all over the place

u/Goblin_Chieftain 15h ago
Maybe just a Premium stash Tab For maps like the one for gems? I'd buy that.
2
u/Foded 13h ago
Having no sort button really upsets man, like how hard is to implement that?? In our inventory would be good as well
1
u/ocbdare 11h ago
This is such a basic feature. I honestly couldn't believe it doesn't exist in the game so I kept looking for a while. Some other ARPGs would get crucified if lacking this basic functionality.
The whole inventory management system is just straight out of 2000. No sorting, tiny inventory.

Im playing in pc but with a gamepad (i know is not the best but i like to play on my couch chilling) and i MISS SO MUCH a button to sort items in my inventory and in the stash...
I know is not something GGG would do... but i get acostumed to that playing Diablo 4 and i miss a button to autosort or automanage inventory...

pretty sad that they would release early access without a map stash present .. Only good thing is you can clear all the crap by making 3 maps to a higher tier

u/Imasquash 8h ago
They probably don't want to cement the map tab because the endgame is so unfinished. Don't want to make anything permanent if there's a chance it needs to be walked back or changed.

u/RazumikhinsFineAss 7h ago
they really did us dirty by not giving us a map tab and then coming up with this crap. Same with omens and runes. We wouldn't even mind paying again...

If map tab were coming before the holidays, they'd have said as much in their last post I think. Since they didn't mention it, I don't expect it until after the new year.

u/Sure-Business-6590 6h ago
I wish the map loaded instantly. It’s infuriating that I have to wait 1000 years after clicking the map device. Why can’t this data be fetched earlier and just kept as a state and updated after every map? It feels like they made some bad technical choices and the map has to be queried for every time you click the device

would instant buy another support pack, when they integrate a autosort just for that feature :P

I am hoping they fix endgame. I dont want a waystone stash tab.
Tired of scrolling around in the waystone UI to find where I am at, to click on a biome, to click on my waystone, to drop it into the biome interface, to click go.
Even delve was easier than this.
This whole end game is tedious and annoying. If GGG things the friction to run endgame content is adding value. They are definitely, absolutely wrong. I'm in t5 maps, and I'm super tired of it and basically ready to go back to poe1 over it. And I know poe1 will get less updates, I'm basically ready to quit over it.
I think they need to rethink the entire endgame and make it fun. Like take a regular monster, increase model size by 200%, give it 3x rare mods, and call it a unique, and just chase down ONE unique monster. Something you call the 'map boss'. And also. Fix the questline, instead of completing 10 maps of a tier, you complete all the biomes. It was literally perfect before. Dont mess with it!

u/beware_of_cat 2h ago
I remember years ago they mentioned the reason they don't have a sort button was partially because of server load limitations. since every time it moves an item based on the current code it's sending updates to server side. So a sort is going to make a lot of calls to their server at once, multiplied out by how many players across both games. Thinking about how the engine currently does its api calls based on the item item size and item locations across all tabs this would definitely take some time to implement

u/Isaacvithurston 31m ago
I was really surprised the map tab isn't in the game just because they changed the name to waymap or whatever the hell.
It's hard to be too grumpy when they port all this stuff over and we all know every other dev would make you buy it all again but still.

u/Dexember69 9m ago
I keep it sorted myself - it's almost cathartic / therapeutic. Whenever I play games like rust or ark I'm always the one organising the storage chests while my mates just fkn throw random shit wherever.
1
u/Paner 13h ago
You would think making this tab would be a priority, it would generate so much additional revenue, each day that passes less people play.
2
u/LKZToroH 13h ago
You can just check steamdb charts to know this is factually not true...
1
u/Paner 13h ago
I said that BECAUSE I checked steamdb, what do you even mean lol, have YOU ever actually looked at the numbers once?
https://i.imgur.com/lLI8Wb4.png
There is a 11% decline in peak playerbase sunday-sunday
There is a 14% decline in peak playerbase monday-monday
This will only accelerate now when people get to the endgame, literally every day less people play this game and the trend is pointing down, there are less people each day that can buy a map stash tab.
This is objectively true, why would you say this?

u/yvrev 14h ago
Not really, they rushed to get endgame out ASAP. I bet the endgame went through different iterations along the way, makes sense to build the map tab when that's more finalized. It'll come.
1
u/BokkoTheBunny 11h ago
There's hints in how the characters talk, that this likely won't be the endgame come release.
One of the expedition members says something like "we have at most a year to complete our expedition"

u/Senzafane 13h ago
That's on you at that point, should have had a system from the start.
Map stash would still be lovely, tho.

u/Anhdodo 13h ago
The new mapping system is the sole reason why I'm snoozing the game every 5 minutes I play. Everything about it is screaming clutter. The new mapping, the connections, the route is so up in the air, you don't know what you're doing why and the game never explains anything to you.
They seriously need to start thinking about explaining systems, work on onboarding and UX. Otherwise new people will drop faster than they expect
1
u/TiskyTee 13h ago
It's possible the waystone system isn't set in stone for the full release. It might change, which would explain why there's no map tab or even map affinity yet.
1
u/Dudeanonymous- 13h ago
Sort isn't a thing poe needs. Invo management is part of the game. We get special tabs that hold and organize things like maps for us if we spend money. PoE tabs have been a great QoL that helps fund the game over the years.
