There was a discussion on the forums here a while back stating that the 2D editor will be completely replaced. That sounds great, but I hope the developers implement a 2d editor view for Top-down view. Has anyone heard any news on that? I think it would be a major disadvantage to completely remove any Top-Down view. I'm really excited about this 3D editor. But with any 3D editor, there are benefits to switching back and forth between 3d and 2d for navigation as well as visual map layouts.
