Map stash tab...

They alredy got your money from the first time you bought a map tab so they don't care if you would buy it if you knew the long time issues or not. Be a whale and buy a map tab for each series and give GGG more $$$ or move on from PoE because it's never going to change.

In fact it's been quite a while since map tab was added and they knew this issue from day 1. It's jsut not worthy to fix all since it pushes more people into buying more map tabs. That ofc raises suspicions about if this isn't accidental at all (it's not).

This. Cough up the dough and stop asking questions.

If you can brave your standard stash to actually try to find something... couldn't find my earlier set... they're in that mess somewhere. OH! That's right! I was playing HC back then...

I'm utterly amazed that GGG is wasting resources allowing us to save that crap.

Huh? Those old old maps...bring memories and are great to make you feel like in a museum of PoE when you visit Standart. :)
But outside that, yes, a map tab that isnt working in Standart is annoying and keeps me from playing there even for the try of a build idea- only because GGG can not find few hours to make map tab alphabetical and "problem solved".

B) About the (silly) reason "collectors want to keep old maps" to do nothing:
Give a map tab (or a npc) a dialog option "convert maps to new ones"

This would be the one solution to rule them all.

It can't be technically difficult. All that has to happen in the database is converting the ID of the old map base to an ID of a new map base of same level. This would even keep the mods on the map and is a really fast DB operation. (Unless the DB structure is an absolute mess, then you anywayneed to clean it up sooner or later.)

It needn't even be random, you can have a fixed table of converting OldType to NewType. So maybe some conversions suck because you liked the old layout more than the new one and you had lots of them, but that is a much smaller price to pay than the click-until-the-doctor-comes mess of converting maps by hand.

Collector can store old map for any reason.
Players can use old map in the device and loot new maps, when found, in the newest version. Old map are not so useless.

The only problem is the Map Tab that at the moment can store one season at a time, forcing players to buy a new map Tab every season. I don't know if this happens, but for me it will not. I'll prefer to wait for a tab for everything even if it will cost more.
The Expanded Map Tab could store every season map switching windows between seasons.
So we will have windows in the same tab for every season:
the original
the awakening
atlas of worlds
war for the atlas
betrayal


If they do not want to give this feature for free (we already payed 150 for a Map Tab) , well, make a price for a tab that can be upgraded or can store every season up to a number to be decided (10 seasons, 15 seasons) and apply a damn price. Make this "thing" upgradable,so players can decide to have the old Map Tab for 150 or buy the upgraded Map Tab (/10/15 seasons or all seasons) for a different price.

What is the meaning to make a nice work as the Map Tab is and then ruin it with this limitation.

Tt should be possible to to upgrade the old maps, may be via some currency available from Zana. Also the old season stashes should dissapear when they are empty. This all is a huge level of non professional from GGG. And finaly it was not announced when I bought my map stash. And also no official statement about this from GGG. Also the Atlas objektives did not work with the ols maps even when they have the some tier as the new ones.

They stated that they will ignore it for now but could look into this in the future. They also claimed that it was a complicated task to convert the old map into an equivalent newer map.

Yeah, I don't believe that either.

what about a button, that converts all maps in the tab to desired set...
say i have a map tab in betrayal with 500 maps in it...
one click converts all to std equivelant ones (random map on same level, keep rares and corrupted ones but re-roll values if desiredö or just keep same affixes)

then another button to merge 2 tabs (remove only maps go to normal map tab, and theya re all in standard maps now)

then we can get rid of old map tabs...
actually there is a bug here, for years not fixed yet...
I have 4 map tabs, all empty but not removed so far...

New Zana trade window: "Transcribe" (only on standard).

Put in old series map, add portal scroll, out pops a random new series map of the same tier with all mods intact, including corruptions.

DONE

The only sensible solution here is to create a legacy Map Stash Tabs for players at each league end (e.g. convert their Map Stash to a new Map Tab)

The system clearly can offer multiple 'special' tabs as we all have 2 Map Tabs now anyway so...

Otherwise, I suggest people just leave all their maps in the "Remove Only" tab because - well - that's almost the same thing and it's not like we remove maps unless we're selling or using them is it?

There's no way I'm moving 500+ maps via my inventory anyway and I doubt they'd have the balls to delete content in a tab someone PAID for - so...

Old style map tabs
