Hi all,

We've now released the latest version of the new map system on the live servers. Note that you must be using the new UI to enable the new map (you can select any of the available themes however).

We've also posted up a thread of the forum with known bugs and visual issues and included a button to report any more you find (we are expecting there to be quite a few!). The more feedback you can give us however, the better it will be :)

To try out the new map, you need to be use a web browser which supports 'canvas' (e.g. Firefox 3.6+, Internet Explorer 9, Chrome and various others). To enable it, go to the 'World' page, then click the new 'Switch to Beta Map' button located under the map. Once on the new map, you can move around using the movement keys (Q,W,E,A,D,Z,X and C) and you can also now click where you would like to move too.

If you do find any issues with the new map, please use the 'Report a Bug' button found below the new map. This will take you to a thread on the forum to post the bug on.

Bug Reporting Thread: http://forum.fallens...hp?f=1&t=104780

Please note that if you do encounter problems with the new map, you can easily switch back to the normal map by clicking the 'Switch to Normal Map' button which is shown below the new map.

We look forward to hearing your feedback!

~ The Fallen Sword Team

Hmm mine is not loading. It just stays a black screen. I have the latest version of Mozilla. I have also ran games with much higher requirements on this computer/internet. Any ideas why it isnt working?

Like the map and it opens a new potential for buffs/pots. There could be a 'SE' or 'chest' buff that you activate and if you are doing the one long move on the map covering a long distance and you happen to pass over a SE or chest that you would not normally see then your character would automatically stop on them if you had that buff/pot active.
Keep up the good work, looking nice.

New map looks pretty good, have yet to find bugs in it but not really looking hard atm, thanks for the hard work you all are putting into it and the game. Just a few suggestions though for it.

Themes, I like the grey scale theme the best, but would like it a bit more if we had a theme with black backgrounds and red fonts. Just a thought as i am not much of a css coder

As well I have also mentioned before about making a players backpack as the new guild store shows. It wouldnt be too hard as you already have a base model with the guild store version itself, and it would improve gameplay a bit by allowing us to easier find what we are looking for instead of searching through many pages of gear and many folders to find it.

Just some helpful thoughts and suggestions for you all to concider.

Once again thanks!

Might try clearing your browser cache, or your system cache (for firefox just click the firefox button, then hover over history and click clear private data, and select everything, then click delete private data, and it should work fine after that.)

Also note not sure about others but I use fs helper and the button to enable the new map was not visible to me until I disabled fs helper, which I did by disabling grease monkey altogether.

Might concider adding an option to hide the actions list, incase you are walking around looking for a location and dont need to see the creatures instead you are trying to see more of the map.

As well an add in option for the letter "s" to step through stairs/into portals/maybe even to accept quests.

Anychance of the action map could stay wherever we place it once moved. I moved it to the right side covering the FS Box while in the map, but once you pop to the marketplace or anywhere eles for that matter and then go back to the map, we have to move it all over again and that will become tiresome. Liked the map when it was on the Alpha server so i was looking forward to it comming live :)

Like the look and appreciate the effort. On IE all looks great. Unless i missed something on world map, using scroll wheel to zoom in and out is rough for some who accidentally use the wheel. To be able to lock on a certain setting would be nice. Then scroll if wish to charge view if wanted.


Also there are issues using FS helper, with firefox and chrome. Such as chat and AH wrapsaround too far over the right of page. Plus like if there's a guild log msg alert it always takes me to my notepad. "However" this is not FS fault and maybe some modifications need to be made to the helper.

Overall i love the new look.. :D

I have to say, its quite impressive. I tried on the titans that were out and most of the times I moved faster with it on then with it off!

Looks great, however, when I move it is real jerky. My browser is the latest version of Chrome.

You should manually update your helper using the link at the bottom of this post.

nice work on new map, but can we have it centre on where you are when you zoom back in? Any plans to put titans on as no link to old map? Also action list covering play area, hid my bod so i could not see where i was going
