The problem is not a map maker as Hiro said it's getting the game to accept the custom maps. As it stands if one user had a custom map somehow and that person started an online game with someone that didn't have the map it crashes the game because it doesn't understand what to do. Coding the brains into the game so it gets what is going on is a huge time consuming effort. Instead of spending time working on that feature(which would be nice btw) he feels that the main game needs the attention.
Now in the future I bet this will change once the majority of the problems in the main game are smoothed out. He wants people to get a quality gaming experience with the features that were shown when they purchased the game. So everyone needs to settle down a bit.
Sargus I like you idea of players submitting a design to Hiro for possible use in the next patch. I know I would love to get the map I made in there
Maybe I could help out here. If its ok with Hiro I could get the designs from you guys and make the maps and then give them to Hiro since I already understand how the maps are made from my beta testing. Though I can think of a few good reasons why this wouldn't be a good idea, so no one get your hopes up. What do ya think Hiro?
Edit: Gah someone went and deleted posts from the thread
some of the stuff I said might not make sense now, who knows.
