Let me preface this by saying that I love a lot of the changes that went into this patch, and I can tell that a LOT of work went into all aspects of this patch.
New Placeable Objects - Love em. More is always nice to have (although I do like to see the creativity that comes from a limited palette of objects to choose from). However, the new placeable shubberies (while they do look great) there are no animations and they are not pathable. When I (as a player) walk into a 6 ft tall bush, I expect to see leaves move and to be able to walk into (or possibly through) it. As they stand, they would be great for borders at distances where the players can't walk upto them, but, at those distances, they won't be viewable.
New Menu in 3D Mode - Let's be completely honest here. It's completely 100% unnecessary. It replaces existing functionality that previously existed with MOVABLE in-game menus, and did not reduce the viewable area.
Free Fly Mode - YES! YES YES YES!!!
Selectable Buildings in 3D Mode - See notes on Free Fly Mode....
Bugs - I was playing around with the changes to the 3D mode, not doing any real work, see what was different. I turned around and there were buildings that weren't previously there (one was at a 90 degree angle). They were also on top of two existing buildings. Deleted the ones that shouldn't be there, and two original houses were still there, exactly where I placed them and where they belong. I had a lot of other objects tied to those houses, so I knew exactly where they were supposed to be. Exited to Foundry and the original buildings were GONE!
Conclusion - There is just TOO MANY BUGS with this patch. People are afraid to do in-game professions because assets are disappearing. I'm afraid to even open my existing Foundry quests, since after 3 minutes in the 3D editor, more than 2 hours worth of work was corrupted and would have been un-revertable had I chosen to save the quest. I'm hearing everyone talking about the bugs in the Foundry chat. The issues that I've encountered are very serious, and I haven't even been in the actual game yet!
