I think most of our suggestions stem around making improvements to item drops. We need to do this in a manor that makes sense, it's hugely overpowered, doesn't undermine other high effort methods.

Most of our explore is COVERING THE SAME BLACK SPACE as we try to clear a map. If we explored spaces had no monsters like in maps, we would hit more EP's, more wells, etc.
Now this isn't a direct nerf to maps because STRONG maps will still be very valuable, and medium maps are kinda not worth doing anyways.

I know this was the way it use to be before maps, but I think this is a valid discussion to revert back to.


Pros:

More chance to find EP, less exp wasted on trash mobs
Keep current map clearing the same above 71 so mirror maze isn't affect

Cons

Slight debuff to middle mapping system if it's being utilized

Why vote no?

I actually like the idea. It's pretty discouraging getting through most of a map and having to back track through all of it again to get to the other side. It's equivalent to getting lost in a cave in pokemon with no repel. RIP ZUBAT. I would finish more mazes to get more maps to have better benefits.

I would be for this, but MM would HAVE to have mobs still spawn on black. 2 cents contributed.

I'd like a future update with a bigger impact like 60s gear
I never map or explore though. I'll change my vote if it helps

60's gear is kinda the opposite of what we're trying to do. We're trying to make less gear "required" and help new players enter the game.

It's literally impossible to log in, play the game and climb. You can't upgrade your gear. You can't play at all really.

I just think EP should be able to spawn in black space

and whistling for that matter

If EP’s spawn in the black, I think that’s a decent compromise.

Explore will be just as challenging to clear and obtain the maps.
Mirror Maze attempts get a slight buff (or nerf) retracting over all the black

I don't think EPs should be able to spawn whistling... whistling is for people who don't want to fight strong monsters... EPs spawning in the black would be cool :)
