Tier 16 odds & Level 82 maps are too damn difficult to acquire
Title says most of what I have to say. I corrupt every tier 15 I get my hands on and I'd be generous if I said I got a single tier 16 for every 30 maps that I corrupt. I'll regularly turn 10 usable 15s into worthless 14s before seeing a single 16. Couple this with how they took the +1 level from corruption we had in last league, and turned it into a miniscule chance to get a single +1 level from cleanse when you beat a nexus- and trying to level into the mid 90s is an absolute chore.
I don't mind challenges. I don't even particularly mind grinding- but this is simply way, way overboard with the sadism on the devs part for no reason. To be honest I don't even mind a bit of masochism in certain contexts- but this is not one of them, lol

You have horrible luck then, but also if you're in the mid 90s how do you not have hundreds of vaals and extra maps sitting around?
If you want to run level 82 content for the drops, just run expedition logbooks
Nah. I make it a habit to corrupt 20 t15 maps everytime i get my hands on 20 vaal orbs. I get one or two t16 maps all the time.
I don’t even care about my level and xp when I get to level 90 tbh. And I’ve had plenty of t16s from corrupting 5+ maps.
Feels more like 1/10 on corrupts for t16 to me, idk. Also see a +1 roughly every corrupted patch.
Wiki says that you have 25% chance to increase or decrease the map tier, so it's 1:8 chance to get T16 from T15.
If you're seeing different odds (such as 1 T16 every 30 corruptions), then that would be very valuable to know hard numbers!
If you are going to keep track of corruption outcomes going forward, please keep in mind that it is extremely important to "pre-commit" to keeping the results before performing the experiment. I.e. you have to decide to record the numbers before you use vaal orb, and not after you see the outcome, as doing otherwise becomes way too biased (you are more likely to record outcomes that elicit emotional response).
I completely agree. To be honest, I don’t even know how 82 maps are even made this season.
I corrupted 120 t15 maps last season in one swoop and received 3 t16s. After that, I just said screw it and bought them.
since when can corruption not give +1 level?
im pretty sure i ran one last night with +1 level.
I have about 300 t15 Maps, I Had 400 vaal orbs, I juiced all Maps and vaaled all of them. Now I have 80 t16 Maps. Yeah... Its okay. But I think IT should be possible to find them when you Play them because its kinda difficult to sustain t16.
You'll find anything to complain about that doesn't consist of effort. Gn
Yeah trying to level in the '90s at all is it pain in the ass and trying to get past 94 I think it's just a waste of time. There's really nothing you can do to speed up the XP past a certain point and when you have to run over a hundred maps just a level once it's just not worth it anymore. Really helping that they'll fix this in the future.
Wait so i'm lost. Is the only way to get tier 16 waystones by corrupting tier 15s. Can we not turn 3 15s to a 16 at the reforger???
I had no idea that you had to vaal a T 15 to make it into a T 16. I'm only at T9 right now lvl 74. That's fucking stupid.
agree 100%
I know it's taken directly from PoE 1 but it is weird how much they want to prevent players doing endgame activities, by forcing you to collect currencies and burn tries.
Means you get to a point where you can comfortably clear T15 but the extra grind to do anything past that becomes a major issue (as you want to make sure you don't waste tries on things like citadels).
100%. Its such a frustrating system. I nuked so many good maps to t14 that I just stopped for this season. Just running t15 and use delirium. Hope they tweak the system for next league.
T16s should just drop, honestly. You can't practically instill them since you need to vaal them to have a chance, and the odds are terrible.
"and turned it into a miniscule chance to get a single +1 level from cleanse when you beat a nexus" i don't know if you just misspoke, but its a chance for +1 both on corrupted and cleansed maps, so if you care about that you should do corrupted +1 before cleansing, and then look for +1 on cleansed
Try farming tablets so you can juice map, then start complaining. 15 maps without a single tablet drop. Let alone finding a usable tablet.
Game still has a long way to go
I definitely think going from Corrupt nodes being universal +1 to it being a rare mod on nodes -- meaning you now have to inspect every damn node just adds another layer of unnecessary tedium to a game that already has way too much at the end game.
