so the Beta has been out for awhile now and im wondering 1 thing.... WHEN DOES THIS GO INTO FULL AFFECT? i dont know, does anyone or is it still up in the air? i have herd that people are waiting for it to go in before they do more on b.net and such. when exactly is that? thanks
@SkrowFunk: Go Agreed. Blizzard's 1.5 bug forum is pilling up with reports and we don't get answers for most of them. I guess they realize how broken it is by now. There's no point in rushing a patch that is supposed to boost the custom map scenario when this same patch breaks everything and leaves custom maps unplayable.

Uh no again. You are in the minority. My map works just fine.
There are definatly some issues left in the beta, not only bugs but also general design problems. Alot of players are complaining about the new battle.net UI (Not about the Arcade but about the "ladder" UI).
I have to say i definatly agree with some points they have (Like the empty starting page for example), and while im not sure whats currently going on at Blizzard since we didnt get any updates since weeks, im hoping that Blizzard is adressing this issues.
Dont forget that most players are still just playing ladder and therefore this is at least as important as the Arcade.
For those of you who have a broken map in Arcade, I'd like to know-
Did you duplicate data and/or make data from scratch, or did you modify what was already there?
I have yet to find problems with the 1.5 editor - I guess I'm just lucky, the only time a patch ever broke my map was when they made the changes to charge times (Switching out "Use Time" and "Start Time"), and that's a really obvious change/bug so I don't think that counts. Started a completely new map in 1.5 and it works perfectly (Only making things from scratch, then duplicating those cause most of the data is really similar). Also uploaded Gates of Darkness (Hero Siege thingy I made ages ago, first map I ever made and published, started back in the beta) and RuneCraft, no patch related bugs whatsoever.

I DID ALL!!!, lol and all that broke were a few events.

Same, though my events broke but vailreth \fixed those for me so I am good to go.
Yeah, I've had no problems with it. Runecraft (as far as we can tell) didn't break or have any new problems in 1.5. I've also started a new project using the beta editor, and had no issues with it. In fact, the new 1.5 features have made it way easier to make :P
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Feel free to Send me a PM if you have any questions/concerns!
It depends on the way you used to duplicate the actors in the previous versions of your map. All the data in my maps is terribly broken.
I expect some things to be fixed before new patch goes out of beta:
- Portraits need to be fixed!
- Locale setting resets everytime you open the editor. That's really annoying.

Effect.
@tdhsst: Go
I hope it's not any time soon. Their dumb 1.5 patch has still completely broken my game. They've got work to do!

Um no. Most of the reports have nothing to do with the editor.
Uh no again. You are in the minority. My map works just fine.
I know I was just saying there's a long list, and they focused on answering about issues about the 1.5 download and graphics.
Yes, just like a minority of mappers uploaded their maps to the arcade beta. How many of the whole list of maps will be broken? We don't know.

1.5.0 is going to be broken no matter what, so it might as well just come out so we can play with StarTools at least.
