Do map tokens not work anymore?
I've had Crotus Prenn as my offering for literally 15 matches, and haven't been sent there once. What gives?

Map offerings now only give a 20% (I think) chance to go to that realm, instead of 100%.
They're basically useless.

You'll be lucky to ever get it working. When I'm not running Bp offerings I usually run Ichorous Loam for a higher chance to be sent to Fazbear's, and the 1/3 chance it being the map that's selected aside, it feels more like I see Withered Isle maybe 1/10 times I run it.

Oh wow. That really sucks. They should just remove map offerings all together then and put every map in general rotation.

Well technically they never were 100% there was always very small chance to get random map. There was like 1/10000 chance to get a random map. I even experienced that few times before the change of the offerings.

Yh map offerings are effectively useless now. Considering they're a rare bloodweb drop and more so individually because of how many maps there are they are super pointless. A 1 in 5 chance of popping is stupid, they might as well just remove them at this point. Like they should be a 50% chance at the very least. That way they aren't a guarantee but at least you have a tangible chance of getting the map you want.

Yeah, that sucks. Just put all the maps in general rotation guys. I don't know why I keep posting on these forums. Pretty sure the devs ignore every message anyway.

No they don't seem to do much anymore. I don't know why they didnt just remove them altogether. At least it would free up the blood web and I wouldn't have to waste points on them.

I don't know if it has to be a rotation, but maybe with incresing chance of getting maps the longer you didn't get it. Additionally they have to fix the repetition of maps please, it's so annoying xD

All maps are in rotation only ones that are not are the variants of existing maps like Badham would have five variations but because community wanted to maps only have one version they got removed from the online rotation. There is no real repetition of maps as there is always four maps between before you can get the same map again if someone did not use an offering to get it and in reality I would say that is quite decent.
Still the offerings do work I had two map offerings give me the map/realm in question so they do work but as its 1/5 chance if you get it you can just be unlucky.

Map offerings have become obsolete, whenever someone uses one I just chuckle.

Then don't call it repetition, but some maps (toba, nostromo, badham, shattered square, tricksters delusion) appear too often none then less. Even in your own stats you clearly got 4-5 (more like 8-9 after thinking about it) maps much more often than other maps and if I remember right 1/3 (also after thinking about it probably 1/2) barely at all from the ones in the list.
So even if it's not a direct repetition it's enough to see that something isn't right with the distribution there xD

20% of the time it works every time.
At this point, just set maps full random (with maybe a slight bias towards the newest release to help gather data for tweaks and help people learn it) and remove map offerings altogether. I've literally never used them aside from a misclick.0 -
Yes they are "weighted" that is the word you should be using. Yeah I am not saying there is not weighted maps but they have no chance of repeating until you have already played in four other maps in between at least. I can also say of the matches there that I have listed I have kept track on how often maps repeat and I have not even got that four at least repeat at all recently. I think the best same map I have had in my last 30 matches was like nine maps in between and did not bother even to mention that in the last update I did to the list.

Would duoing with someone impact this no repeats rule? I swear up and down I've had Nostromo twice, less than 3-games apart.

I don't think so as it takes into account all the maps all the people have played in when choosing. I myself have not seen same map happen unless there is four between if it was not brought with an offering. You might have missed the offering if that is the case. Still if it was recent you could check the stats site if it indeed happened and if there was an offering for it?
edit. Wiki says its possible but its very unlikely I have not seen it the whole time I have been collecting the data. Still even they state that same map is not possible to get in a row without using an offering, but seems there is very unlikely chance of getting the same map after that and I think the four matches in between it resets at least that is what my data seems to indicate.

Then they should at least make them equally weighted, Idk about you, but I'm pretty annoyed by it xD

Like I am not against removing the weighting of the other maps but I do understand why Trickster's Delusion is weighted as its the newest map so it makes sense to have bigger chance of appearing. Like weighting is not bad always but have to admit if you keep it going too long people will get fed up of those maps. Its just is normal even if you don't mind the map but same thing too often gets boring.
I would not be against like more frequent changes on what maps are more common or even give possibility to players to vote like what maps they want to be more common for like few months. Then can do it again or randomize.

I also don't have something against them weighting them differently at special occasions, but not always over a long time please. If they threat it as some kind of event it's okay, but not like this. Espeacially because I'm sure NO ONE would would those maps up - or at least that's what I hope xD

I would say I have nothing against the maps that are currently weighted even Badham. I do also understand why some people do dislike them. Still I think the current frustration is just that they have been weighted so long that its starts to annoy people.

I had no idea they decreased the chance to 20%! I've noticed map offerings weren't working, but I thought it was a bug. What is the point in having them at 20%? They're basically completely useless now.
I've been saying for awhile now that map offerings need to be inversed - as in they should prevent you from going to a specific realm. That would actually give you a reason to collect them, because you could just burn a Nostromo or Toba offering every game 😂

It didn't used to be the case that all maps are in rotation. The whole point of the map offerings is those maps don't trigger unless you use the offering. Has Behavior confirmed that all maps are in rotation? Because I don't think they are. You tend to get the same 5 or 6 maps every time you play, but there's dozens of maps.

No that was never the point of the offerings. The point of the offerings was that you get a guaranteed map from the realm the offering was from unless other people used other map offerings. Now its not a guarantee but 1/5 chance. To my knowledge there never has been any maps that are out of rotation in this game except those that were some reason kill switched or are currently removed because of license issue.
I have a thread in this forum where I listed about 210 matches worth of what maps I got. I got 44 out of the 44 possible maps in that 210 matches so yes they are all in the rotation and this was before they removed the weighting of certain maps. Reason why you kept getting same maps more often was because they were weighted and now as that is not the case you will start get even more varied maps. Still I would also go out and say that you think you get mostly the same maps when you dislike a map so it is easier to remember that map coming up and forget that you might have already played like four other maps in between as that seems to be the point when map repeating can happen most often of my own experience of looking of what maps I got in those 210 matches.

An avoid offering would actually be so nice.
