Is this Map Dead? I know you have an Editor petitioning to do it, But I'm confident that will not end Well... It will end poorly... So suffice to say you need a New Editor who will take this Burden? Or will this Map be allowed to Decay? And don't ask me to do It. I have no skill with the Editor at All. Do not take this Thread the Wrong Way. I'm asking a Question here.
Something, Something Darkside... Something, Something almost Complete... Oh My God who the Hell, Cares!!! There's a Chicken Duck Woman Thing waiting in the Bushes of Love. "My Form is Justice, and My Form is the World. Worship Me. Give Praise unto Me. Me, the Beautiful, the Sublime... Me, the Invincible, the Almighty and Divine... All Hail Zamasu." "The True Horde takes what It wants." "This Thing doesn't want to show itself. It wants to hide in an Imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies. nobody left to kill It. And then it's Won." "They come at Night, mostly..."
The Heretics Must Be Purged !
She is working on the next patch definetely but there is no set date for it since, as already stated, she is quite busy.
The golden days for LTF and LTA have been awesome but don't be fooled, having a patch every single month in a warcraft III map has been something very rare to see at all. Take what we have been having as a gift rather a habbit which has to continue.
Its release date will be january 1st 2019 then the Map will be Dead from then On.
I did say that didnt I... honestly even if I started the map right now the next patch could possibly be ready by August, possibly not. There is no such thing as a quick patch with LTA/LTF.
As map making is a hobby you focus on the parts you enjoy, editing LTF dosnt seem to be enjoyable anymore, I cant use the newest editor and not sure where to start from woodenplanks half finished version. It's much more fun for me to create smaller scale maps like ROTV.ZR, ROAR, as Blizzard obviously dosnt want to support huge macro maps like LTF anymore.
Theres also the question of time, if I didnt work 5 days a week I would be able to keep LTF updated all the time, but as it is I can produce a new patch in just afew days for my smaller maps, but for LTF your looking at weeks of work.
I think I will open a new thread to try and find a solution to what can be done to keep the map alive.
Strange that it takes your little Crew about a Year to make Minor Modifications and remove things from the Map so yeah a year for a Patch that mostly Deletes things as with Woodenplanks entire term if He wants Capital Ship Battle like New Dalaran vs Naxxramas then make a Map based on Starcraft II/made in Starcraft II and just have a Crap Load of instanced Planets/Ships so on... But I'm sure Koprulu TA/TF never crossed your Mind. Even though that would be a better way of handling the whole TA/TF thing... Because you can set up the same damned Triggers like the Faction Paths, your Pride and Joy here that and poor Balancing its like saying that every starter unit in SCII needs Shields/equal Life/Ranged Attack/Spawn in Twos then there would be no Difference in play style... Warcraft Total War can get away with that because Its been like that since the Beginning, but your Map is almost totally different from its 1ST Version to the Present Version thus Archion's Threads.
I have always said I am against removing content, it should be reworked or adjusted, removal of content is the lazy way of fixing a problem and I don't like it. However Wooden never intended for them to be permanently removed, he hoped to re-add them at a later date when they could be balanced, but obviously he never got round to doing that.
If I release LTF unprotected I will also release the latest version I worked on, which had everything included. So anyone who picks up the project has a version prior to content removal as well as Wooden's latest version. So they can decide.
