I used the Kronos Titan map (burning forest) in one of my arcs. Was updating the arc yesterday and noticed that the mission had a different map. When I went to look for it... it's gone!

Has this map been pulled? If so, why??

arc 44622 - Find out the truth!
arc 103005 - What it's like to be a villain...
arc 58617 - What has stirred up the villain community?

It was pulled in the 5/5 patch...we theorize it has something to do with the number/location of spawn points. It'll be back.

Was it listed in the patch notes as being pulled?

I don't think any of the pulled maps were...two of my three arcs were invalidated by yoinked maps in the patch, and I only found out by finding a forum thread talking about it.

Arc 55669 - Tales of the PPD: One Hell of a Deal (video trailer)
Arc 64511 - The Wrecking Ball
Arc 1745 - The Trouble With Trimbles
Arc 302901 - HappyCorpse

Ok, thanks.

What were the other maps pulled? Just curious.

arc 44622 - Find out the truth!
arc 103005 - What it's like to be a villain...
arc 58617 - What has stirred up the villain community?

Crey Hero Lab for one, not sure about the other(s).

The Crey clone lab map, and a few others...take a look through this thread for a more comprehensive list.

I know I've been saying this till I'm blue in the face, but it REALLY bothers me when they do things like that and don't list them in the patch notes.

Yeah, yeah I know they've been working on improving the patch notes.

For how many years now?

I work in a Research and Development group for a non profit and the number one thing we are FORCED to do before ANYTHING is released is to make a list of all CHANGES and things that were taken OUT so that our customer service group doesn't start getting lambasted with calls from angry customers, complaining about missing features.

Seeing as how we aren't talking about 100s of maps here, I dont' get why it's hard to simply LIST which maps have been taking out. Not asking for a list of the exploits caused by having them in. But I don't understand why a list of what was removed isn't published WITH the freaking PATCH NOTES.

That way authors can go in and preemptively fix their maps, instead of having players find the author's missions with maps that suddenly make no sense for the story or worse yet, are suddenly unplayable, with no advance warning to the author.

I would think that's even more critical for DC authors, with the way they have to get those updated, if at all.

I'm sorry but stuff like that in software development pisses me off.
