Xbox One - Sacrificial Ward Error

I set a Sacrificial Ward as an Offering as survivor. Another survivor had Gideon Meat Plant as their offering. According to the description, Sacrificial Ward cancels all map offerings.

The below photo shows that Gideon Meat Plant ended up as the map, which contradicts the Sacrificial Ward's effects entirely. I vaguely remember it being said that Sacrificial Ward will cancel any map offerings unless the other 4 offerings were the same map offering.

Please can this be looked into, because if this is not the case then the description needs to be rewritten.

    A simple Google search would have give you the answer.

    When using a sacrificial ward, the game randomly picks a map, ignoring the map offering.

    Sometimes, the game randomly happens to pick the map that was being offered anyways. It's very rare, but it happens.


    This is not a bug.

    I read "reject" as in removing the map entirely. The description still needs to be clearer for me, or the Sacrificial Ward should act as a map counter. If all this does is just even the odds, I'll go to recommendations for this but feel this needs an alteration in its purpose. May make people have a nice counter to some map offerings, rather than just hoping a rival map offering will beat it. I'll do that later.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    The Sacrificial Ward only prevents the offering from working it does not (and should not) remove the possibility of randomly going to a realm, nor are there plans to make that happen. We have map repeat preventenion in place and players are free to use offerings for maps.
