Haunted Mines - will it come back?

[ShadowHunter-2440]

Good afternoon. I wonder if the Haunted Mines map will ever return? I went back to the recordings from 2014 and 2015, in order to recall the old times, as well as to bring back memories of that map. I also read the comments on YouTube and other social media, everyone would like it to come back. What do y’all know or think? Thanks.

I don’t like the map. All that happens is while I’m loading into the mines, I die in the 0.5 seconds

[rcw-2543]

I sure hope so, but i fear they will streamline it into something generic and boring like Garden of Trash

[phaseshifter-1283]

At this point I think we can say no. But I’d trade it for warhead Junction any day.

[Lamborghini-4849]

I miss it too, so many new characters I want to try getting into the mines these dats

[SeaHotel-1254]

I could still heard that Haunted Mines hasn’t returned since last HGC season. I find that battleground could be made for long term supports that will return in sometime.

haunted mines? more like crapted mines

Haunted Mines

the only way to play that map at the time being is by doing a custom match I believe and there might be work going on with haunted mines to solve the ambush mess

[WhyDaRumGone-1333]

I like it more than WHJ or especially BHB.

I think to do a quick fix all they need to do is to change the neutral sapper camps to vision camps

Well, the devs said that they won’t do more anomalies or at least won’t do one each season like they did this year, and that they would focus on other things, one of them being map updates. They said they were throwing some ideas in how to rework haunted mines, so we might see it back in a reworked version in a couple years?

Haunted Mines needs to return to the way it was without those pumpkin mercenaries

Original Hanamura should also come back

This one:

Infinitely more fun than the garbage we have now

Same goes for Garden of Terror

Seriously look at the dislike bar here:

Blackheart’s Bay could also use a rework as the coin gathering is quite obnoxious

The developers realize Blackheart’s Bay is bad too hence why it’s not available in Ranked modes

I’ll try to find it, but it was a while ago and idk if it was in an AMA or not.

I’ll try to find it

Much appreciated cool Genji

We still plan on regular gameplay updates, and will continue to experiment with ways to make Heroes a better game, so you can count on that still happening. In the future, we want to take a bit more time and release updates only when we feel they are in a more polished state, and we want to give the members of the Development Team the freedom to explore certain longstanding issues that we think are important to the community. For example, we’re considering large updates to maps that we feel could use some design improvements.

Hey secret3332,

Actually, the design group just met about this the other day. We have some initial blue-sky ideas on things we could do to improve the gameplay of the battleground, but that is about as far as we have currently gotten. Just bringing it back in its current form is really tricky as there are a lot of bugs (many of them super edge-case) with the way the mines work that are very difficult to tackle and would require a major amount of resources to resolve.

Overall, we love the map and all of its unique assets, and hope to return it to the map pool some time in the future!

It is nothing 100% sure, but it’s definitely a maybe!

[Xylord-2300]

@Darak-11211

definitely a maybe!

This gives me hope

Definitely better than nothing

[hunterbees44-1622]

Will it come back I highly doubt it. Do i want it to come back? You bet your butt i do.

[BabaBÒÒey-1577]

How bad this support team is on a dying game. There is so many great ideas to add to this but they want nothing with it.

[QueenBWthe3-2999]

Play the map in custom mode. Solution solved.
