Version history

Version	Changes
3.18.0	Shaper Guardian and Vaal Temple Maps are now affected by Sextant Modifiers on socketed Voidstones.
3.17.1	Atlas Passives now affect Shaper Guardian and Vaal Temple Maps.
3.9.1	Zana Atlas Objectives can now offer Shaper Guardian Maps as options as long as you are in a Tier15+ Map.
3.9.0	The Shaper and Elder storyline is gone and has been replaced by a story that takes place in the aftermath of the old story. The Elder, Shaper, and combined Elder and Shaper encounters can still be accessed. If you're lucky, Zana may offer a Shaper or Elder guardian's map!
3.5.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas. Many map bosses have also shifted around. Some have been retired and replaced!
3.1.0	The entire Atlas has been reworked. Many map names have changed, as have their balance, tier and position on the Atlas. Many maps have also had their boss fights swapped or completely reworked. The rules used to generate monsters in endgame maps have been significantly reworked and rebalanced around the rate at which we expect players to reliably clear out the map. In general, narrow, linear maps will contain fewer total monsters than maps with complex layouts. We will be closely monitoring and adjusting the balance of this change and expect to make further changes and improvements over time.
2.4.0	Introduced to the game.
