Well, you would've already seen news about it if anything was mentioned. But there has been no news and the question has been asked many times. :P Gotta search a bit mate.

According to the stream yesterday "soon" was the verdict. But he did emphasize that it is definitely getting released to the community.

They will no doubt release it to the public, as they have done the same with DoW and vCoH aswell. I personally will spend my time on worldbuilder rather than playing the game. :)

I sincerely hope it will come out as bug-free, because vCoH worldbuilder had some bugs.

At the same time people want it to be out as soon as possible. See the dilema? ;)

i didn't fiddle around with it much, but i think it was reasonably bug free, and one bug that i found had a workaround that was not too hard (albeit an annoyance). but then again, i never fiddled around in it much.

my biggest problems with the worldbuilder were the complexity (as in, super hard to learn how to handle it, little to no documentation) and the performance (being pretty slow). i have confidence that at least the latter will be improved for coh2.

cr4wler, there were some bugs which had no workaround. One was that the stamp tool was broken in later versions. And another pretty significant bug was that the mem-stats button was broken all the time, giving the map maker no way to monitor the memory usage of certain areas. Other bugs had workarounds, but whatever i don't expect the new worldbuilder to come bug free as long as they provide support.

Regarding complexity, yes it was not easy to learn from the very beginning, but what do you expect for maps as complex as CoH. You can't expect a Starcraft like paint tool and thats it.
Further, there were millions of good tutorials to get you an easy start a few months after WB was released.

of course, it HAD to have some sort of complexity (btw, if you want to do more than just "paint a map" in wc3/sc2, it gets a lot more complicated too ;-))... yet the missing documentation was the part that got me. the tutorials were pretty good too, but even then it was not exactly easy to use. i know i'm nitpicking right here, it was and is a great tool, but you can always make it better i guess.

yea i know, but i'm sure that everyone can wait a bit more if that means a bug free program. =) @Relic: Make a worldbuilder beta test! :D

Not too concerned about any bugs really. vCoh worldbuilder was great!! For what it was.. Some really really great maps came out of the community from it. Thats is undenyable!! Relic just needs to start somewhere, it doesnt have to be perfect. The real mappers will stick with it regardless.. Besides, if it was easy everyone would be doing it!! :))

My ENTIRE reality is focused upon Worldbuilder releasing... I think my head is going to explode if they don't release it soon! (& that'd just be weird since it's a banjo)
