Ziz rose this concern in his pre-release interview and it appears to have come to fruition, the current way to juice the atlas is -
-
Find an area with 3 - 4 surrounding towers
-
Clear all bad layout maps in that area
-
Hit all 4 towers with well rolled tablets of the same kind
-
Finally actually run your juiced maps
Comfortably 50% of your time is spent setting up/running dead maps just so there complete.
What's concerning is this is yet another "they fixed this in PoE1" complaint, PoE1 used to have tedious atlas setup but they slowly gravitated to just "Alch & Go". Why? Because most people just want to farm maps, they don't want to micro-manage their atlas.
To be clear I've very much enjoyed PoE2 and while I knew PoE2 would be a different game I expected it to consist of the collective learning from PoE1 so I'm sad to see them repeat so many of their mistakes.
