Oh great my arc is ruined... Time to re write it 
There are quite a few of us out there w/ ganked arcs atm. Hopefully it's just to fix buggy spawn locations and not a permanent issue. However, given the silence so far, we're in a black hole of info. For now, I just moved to a different, but structurally similar map for AtD. If they ever give back the Hero Lab (which is the other pulled map), then I can go back to it to reset my arc to its former glory 
In the meantime, could you try to use a similar map and re-work the story temporarily to "prevent' the fire instead of having it already happening? Just a thought.

To be clear, these maps aren't intended to be removed permanently. They're removed, bugs fixed, and reintroduced. The only thing is I have no idea how long it takes them to fix, so no clue when it'll be back.

But due to the absolute (and inexcusable) silence from all devs (though they have time to talk about still retroactively banning people and cheese baskets,) we have no idea whether they are actually going to replace/return these maps at all.
I now know how all the base builder people feel after however many years it's been.
Where is the RedName citation for this? We've been completely in the dark on this. No word on test, no word in the patch notes, and no word on any of the forums that I've seen since the 5/5 patch came out have said *anything* to acknowledge that these maps have even been removed, much less whether it's permanent, or temporary, or even *why* they were pulled.
So far it's all baseless speculation. I'd just like clarification from someone "in the know" -- either a Redname (who's word will be gospel obviously) or someone w/ an appropriate citation to a redname.

I used the Burning Forest map while it was available, and got LOTS of feedback from people who had the destructible objects not spawn correctly, or the collection items spawning inside a tree (and then while playtesting the mission, I did see those bugs myself). I reported it to Customer Support, repeatedly (the first line GMs didn't "get" what the problem was.) So reason for pulling: bugs.

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!
I used the Burning Forest. It made a great spirit world.
Someday it will be back.

Completely agreed there. The devs really should at least step up their patch notes policy on removed maps to give us a head's up, if not outlining why the map was removed and when we can expect to see it again. Same thing with any potentially arc-breaking change to the MA.

I believe the red name quote on pulled maps being reintroduced was in the beta forums, unfortunately. I agree they should make a statement on it just to clarify.

Bugged stuff has been pulled from the MA before, fixed, and put back in. Have patience. I'm sure the burning forest will return.

Why does everyone DEMAND the devs give us such information, when the likeliest answer is "We don't know yet. It'll be done when we can get around to it"? It's not like the devs were previously giving us a blow by blow narrative of what they're doing and NOW suddenly "clammed up". I've found from previous jobs (not computer game related) that documenting things and making sure everyone is informed often takes up time that could more productively be spent working.
Dec out.
While making my arc i noticed that i could not find the burning forest any more. It ruins one of my missions. So any one no were it is or they got rid of it and why?
