What is going on with the same maps all the time?
Ok so I'm more than a little concerned because I think I've literally only played the same few maps for like a month.
My 1st match of the day is always Badham, followed by Nostromo, then I only get Toba Landing, The Game, Midwich, Lery's and Haddonfield (until it recently was removed) in varying order.
Yesterday, I got Badham twice in a row as Freddy in Chaos Shuffle with no map offerings.
I'm beyond annoyed as I literally never see auto haven or the maps with the blue sky like groaning storehouse.
How is this happening to me all the time, both as Killer and Survivor and in and out of special game modes?

I have the same experience lately. It seems that we’re still getting the “boosted maps” thing that is universally despised and to make it even better, we’re getting the maps that people complain about the most. I’m guessing it’s BHVR trying to collect more data on the maps because they are complained about so much. That I can understand, I guess, but it’s definitely frustrating for the players. I can also see why BHVR doesn’t tell the community they are doing this because a lot of people would just go play something else if they did.

Isnt it because some maps have higher % chance than others each week, like all have lets say 3,xx % chance to be choosen and like 4-6 maps have each week 6% chance and they are choosen way more.
I think they didnt change this since they put it in live and people are complaining about it, Idk why they did that like I get giving more % chance to new maps from new chapters or in winter to winter maps like ormond but why this is thing Idk.

I have noticed this too. I often get Toba, Nostromo, Lérys, and one variation of MacMillan in one rotation.
But it seems like Toba and especially Nostromo are often selected, and it has been this way for the past two weeks.
I rarely ever see RPD, the sand maps or Garden of Joy.

3 games last night
Toba Nostromo Toba
It's almost scripted that they follow each other.
BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Switched it off.
Tonight I got Dead Dawg what a pleasure that was.
Was spoiled by Toba again straight after it.
Enough already.

I've stopped playing the game the last few months because of the maps.
Last time I tried, loaded into Nostromo… played that match and turned it off again.

Death to the boosted maps, such a garbage idea. It makes no sense to do it unless all maps are equally balanced. All i does it negatively impact the game.

2 reasons for it
- not all maps have the same weighting. typically maps that are unique, such as have higher individual chances of appearing, where as maps that are similar like the coldwind maps have slightly lower chances of appearing. Additionally the devlopers give certain maps boosted odds of appearing arbitrarily.
- Realm repeat prevention reduces the chance of all maps in a realm being selected when someone has previously played on that map. Realms that have more maps in them are affected by this system much more than maps that don't share a realm or only share a realm with 1 or 2 maps. This means maps like coldwind, autohaven, etc. if any one of the 4 players in that lobby previously played on one of those realms every single one of the many maps in that realm get a reduced chance of appearing. This creates a bias in map selection towards smaller realms. Badham for example is the ONLY map in its realm, meaning it gets affected by realm repeat selection much less.

I too am so frustrated by the maps. I play basically the three same mapes. Two of them I hate with a passion. Swamp amd erye of crow. I load into them non stop. Somr maps i load into every few days. It makes no sense. I sometimes dont play the game i just stand there because I dont want a penalty for quitting. Please I beg you developers bring back map offerings at least with a 50/50 chance of loading into your map.offering.

its because certain maps are weighted for no reason and there weighting just went up.
They where able to weight Hawkins when stranger things first come out then reduce it back down, why cant they change the maps that are least in rotation if they cant remove the system

nice map dropped me))))))))) I play on hillbilly and I get ALWAYS Lery's or hawkins. it is normal? Where is autohaven? why normal maps dropped maximum 1 time out of 10? And then we wonder why the online is low in the game, because the offerings don't work, because in all these ten matches I had offerings on Autohaven lol. Fix the game instead of releasing new skins, or have you not managed to earn enough in almost 10 years to start REALLY developing the game?
