Saw this topic going on in one custom map thread. Instead of hijacking that thread, I'm here wondering what's up with the all "Wasting time on creating custom maps which nobody wants to play" or "Don't fear custom maps, play them" sigs?
Why people are against custom maps? I've been away from lurking TWI forums for some time so I have missed everything what has happened in a year or so. I remember custom content was much anticipated prior the launch and after the launch of RO2. Although if I recall right there was a delay with launching SDK and after it was launched, it was buggy. But what happened after that? Why people doesn't play custom maps and why there are only few individuals making those?
I understand Steam Workshop doesn't work as it should (?) and it takes a good while to download one custom map (?). Is there anything else? I see few good level designers has given up, and it's a shame for the community.
Because after years of playing, the stock maps are played inside out and you're after something new. Custom content is one of the things that will keep you playing this game year after year. Or I can be wrong...
Is there anything to be done to fix this situation?
