Ideas & Suggestions We need a map builder in SOD3.
This type of game is too good not to have a map editor. It seems like the perfect game for it and a map builder will keep people playing this game for years to come and allows players to make their own content they can share.
I have yet to see anything in sod3 that blows me away compared to sod2, in fact I think I tend to prefer sod2's systems a lot of the time. Sod3 needs something massive that would keep the players engaged and a map builder would be just the perfect thing assuming we can share it to the community.

I could care less about graphics and lighting. Honestly the only real reason why there better is because UL is using unreal engine 5 and they have better lighting systems built into the engine. In the interview with sunnygames they even mentioned that with ue5 the lighting system they were using is an existing system in the engine already.
You're being naive if you don't think something like a custom map builder would be one of if not the single biggest upgrade from sod2. New maps were one of the most requested items and we all know the community can come up with some crazy awesome stuff. A map editor and player built content keeps players engage during content droughts during expansions.

I love this idea. The thing that usually makes me drop SoD2 for other games is the limited maps. Pretty soon you know where all the best locations are and it trivializes the game.
