Treasure maps are now incorrect post carto update

Recommended Posts

So it took me a few steps today on deli to understand something was wrong with treasure maps that I got post update today.

 

Here is one step and example : https://imgur.com/a/x5KIphu

 

The location is this https://deliverance.yaga.host/#667,1311

 

Notice how the map is rotated to the North east? Also means the "north" on the compass on the treasure map is now worthless.

 

Now I am correlating this bug with the fact that actual cartography maps we can create now are also slightly rotated when they are created. I am guessing something is happening in the code that is rotating treasure maps left and right while the "N" on them is not truly pointing north.

I did several maps after the update with no issues finding the proper dig spots.  I did notice on one of my maps the picture was angled 45 degrees.  I would consider that a possible bug since I have never seen that before.  The next clue for that hunt, the map was shown properly when opened.

Some have been angled aye. Which kinda increases the difficulty by a few factors especially when the maps are low res and hard to read.

 

Here's another slightly angled map.

This one isn't as bad but considering how some steps can be low res hilly terrains, the maps suddenly become way more difficult since you have to rotate maps in addition to comparing them to map dumps.

its almost as if they have taken the new QL thresholds for player made maps and applied them to the treasure maps.

 

the first one you linked looked lilke it was a sub 10ql player map, the last one a 10-20..........

the map I linked was an 87 ql difficult map. Still trying to finish it.

Also want to say the map generation for treasure maps is now next to impossible for some clues.

Normally it takes me a few minutes to correlate with a map dump but this is just...wow.

 

Please fix this.

My treasure hunting is officially on the shelf. 

 

Did some maps this morning, some clues were good like before, but 3 were just nothing but blobs of mixed colors.  Impossible to define water, roads, mountains, sand, deep forest vs shrubs, etc... 

 

Maps take long enough to complete without wasting time doing 3 or 4 clues to then only get a mixed blurry, blob of colors that can not be completed.

 

Please fix.

Apologies, it looks like some of the map settings changes for player maps slipped through to the old deed map hints. Fix will be incoming asap, though will only fix newly generated maps.

Thank you for the quick update Budda!

Will we be able to petition for re-rolls on some of these?

I think GM's can reset certain steps, I heard it done before with some bugged maps so it's not out of the real of possibilities but we'll have to see what the team comments on that.

We added a tool for gms to be able to regenerate the maps properly at the same locations you will be able to put a ticket in for those starting tomorrow.

Does this apply for all new maps obtained after cartography content, or any previous/old/ maps?
