This has probably had the same effect as the burning trees map, it got removed from both the MA and official missions...
One of the PI missions, 'Rikti plasma fire has set the trees alight...', map is Grassy map 01 (with hills) according to MA as the burning trees map has gone...

I want it back as well! It's very much needed!
Great.. what will the next step be? Every map that can hold large amount of mobs in them.. you know.. to farm?
Another map/thought for arc lost for what...? *sigh*

IIRC the maps weren't removed due to their capacity to hold mobs - they were removed as they had bad/buggy spawn points for objects.
But, especially if this is the case, the devs still ought to:[*] inform us of removals (and replacement) in patchnotes;[*] give us an estimate of when the removed assets will be replaced.

The cloning lab certainly had a buggy spawn point for objects - one of the floor slots at the "back" was actually in the floor and, depending on the object, could make missions impossible to complete. That's a map geometry issue, and, depending on resources, may be a non-trivial fix.

And I recall hearing that the burning forest had one stuck up a tree that was also a mission breaker. There was certainly at least one wrong object spawn point in it (though I never saw it myself, just heard about it).
It's why I said that they were removed due to object spawn point bugs.

It's the lack of any sort of communication that drives me nuts.

Well, that's what the devs have been saying the changes are for, for the most part (certainly with mobs)
Doesn't mean their right, though =[

Aye, the problem seems to be the fact that things seem to spawn in slightly different locations each time. So you can't even run your map to confirm everything is in the right place. Next time around the glowie may at a different spawn location.
Not pointing fingers Donna. If it seems so, then sorry.
The point is that if a map is removed because it is used a lot by farmers... then will we then have any large maps left?
I'm not a fan of removing things... I want things added.

This is why we need to be able to actually place objects at specific spawn points! Not just random "front" etc. Problem fixed!

Enough said
The Crey Cloning lab was the perfect finale for my arc (Ten Thousand Fists), right up until they removed it from MA.
When are we going to see the removed maps back in game? Some sort of approxy would be nice, seeing as I even have to have a note in the arc description saying that the last map is wrong!
