[Campaign] Malfurion's Quest

[Wrath King]

Feedback is the passive ability that every attack will burn mana right?? Btw Turnro, is Tyrande dead already in the Highborne or just severely injured?? (asking for spoilers again)

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Yes, Feedback is how you described it

 

[MURDER KING]

So Turnro is thinking to create a tanking hero for Highborne ,will improvise a lot in melee combat.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

I think that was tanking unit, specifically the Arcane Golem.

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

I think that was tanking unit, specifically the Arcane Golem.

Indeed @Rence Kristoff.

 

[MURDER KING]

Still he need a melle hero for highborne.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

True.

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

Indeed.

 

[StormKnight]

a tanking hero wolde be nice (although that dose depend on what shape sholde the hero be???) as in paladin/blademaster/demonhunter/or sth????

as for the arcane golams i think its better to have a stomp like ability LIKE thunder club but with other effects

and an epic question is the great chimera going to be present in the game ?? it wolde be very good

I have actually planned a tanking hero for the Highborne, though I won't be revealing who he is anytime soon since he's in the latter chapters of the campaign. You can also assume that any unit in the Night Elf tech-tree will be available to play at some point during the Sentinel storyline

 

[Wrath King]

Will the hero be a pure tank or a tank/dps hybrid like a demon hunter (the evasion)??

 

[StormKnight]

im all good & happy as long as the chimera is able to be played




umm guys why is kathranis with a shiny demonhunter Blade in his hands ???

 

[MogulKahn]

umm guys why is kathranis with a shiny demonhunter Blade in his hands ???

That's just for the preview of the character!

 

[StormKnight]

That's just for the preview of the character![/QUOTE]

ya but thats not true why do we have to lie to the young minds & destroy there dreems

 

[Rence Kristoff]

What's wrong with you, then go find a preview, no one cares about those. They're just there for something you know.

 

[StormKnight]

whats wrong with you im just trying to be cheerful thats all, plus idk im just asking cuz i thought this might be true later in the game
on the other hand it wolde be cool if he had the blade,
but camon isnt it a obvious im just trynig to mess around

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Yeah but keep it to minimum with the smilies, those send out many things to me, and yeah it would be cool if he would have a blade, but again, maybe Turnro can't find a proper picture to place there that's why that one is in that place.

 

[StormKnight]

ok so lees smilies,,and yeah i gees the proper thing is to find a better picture.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Thanks and Sorry I've been a butt, I made this personal.
I suggest you find one that suits him, and suggest it to Turnro.

 

[StormKnight]

ok will do, and don't mention it .


umm dose anyone know how to upload or release a campaign on hive.???

also (if a staff member see this please tell)

 

[SollingDown]

I have a question as a beginner: What do I have to do, to choose between one of these storylines?

Thx for answering!

Greetings

 

[Wrath King]

There is a mission there where you face some Highborne in a fountain in chapter 2 I think, defeat them and watch the cinematic and you will be given a choice to go down as a Highborne or as a Night Elf.

 

[StormKnight]

who liked witch race so far??

there is snow on the hive leaves i hope they give us a 50+ free model pack for free for christmas

 

[Turnro]

Hey guys! It's been a couple of weeks since my last post, so I'll just fill you in what I've done since then.

I've been mainly focusing on writing the dialogue for Chapter 6 of the Highborne story-line, which is close to finished. I have also been updating the existing Highborne units, which includes slightly buffing their tier-1 units. One of these changes includes a new upgrade for the Guardian unit:

Combat Mastery

Once researched, Guardians will have a 15% chance to dodge enemy attacks and a 20% chance to deal double damage. What do you think of this new upgrade? Feel free to post your thoughts below.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Critical Strike and Evasion, a nice combination, a nice upgrade.

 

[Himperion]

I don't remember what unit where the guardians. We have a list with the units per faction?

 

[StormKnight]

its not critical strike nor evasion its actually the passive ability of the pandaren brewmaster called the drunken brawler still about time it came in the game its a very cool spell but: what do you think on giving it to the new melee hero of the highborn that it hasent yet come out????

 

[Rence Kristoff]

It's still a combination of those.

I don't remember what unit where the guardians.

They come from the Highborne, they are the sentries there.

 

[Himperion]

But this is a Night Elf Campaign, Sentries and Assassins everywhere!

In a more serious note, while the users can't open the campaign in the editor, having a list with the units is a good idea.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

You mean like at tomoraider's campaigns, where the units are shown in a big image and where are they trained?

 

[Himperion]

Not something that elaborated as Tomo's, but yes.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

So you just need the units, and not where they come from?
Because someone can do it for you.

 

[Wrath King]

This new ability might make me use the Guardian since I never use them. But I still think that the Highborne needs a melee dps hero or unit.

 

[Turnro]

its not critical strike nor evasion its actually the passive ability of the pandaren brewmaster called the drunken brawler still about time it came in the game its a very cool spell but: what do you think on giving it to the new melee hero of the highborn that it hasent yet come out????

While the ability could be useful for the melee hero, it wouldn't suit the theme and character I have in mind.

But this is a Night Elf Campaign, Sentries and Assassins everywhere!

In a more serious note, while the users can't open the campaign in the editor, having a list with the units is a good idea.

I actually intend on showing a list of the new night elf and highborne tech-trees. It just hasn't been done yet since Malfurion's Quest is still in development and the tech-trees are subject to change.

Nonetheless, I could compile the tech-trees as they are at the moment, but the highborne one will have a few units/buildings missing from the list for story reasons.

 

[Turnro]

Hey guys! I've created a short preview of the tech-tree changes I've done to the night elves for Malfurion's Quest. I'll post more specific details about these changes at a later date.

Sentinel Tech-Tree

 

[Rence Kristoff]

That is a cool tech tree.

 

[Alliance10]

nice! can't w8 for the new update. i really like your work Turnro

 

[Himperion]

The assassin is a spoiler unit methinks, don't remember having it as a playable during the last version of the campaign.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

He did say that there will be new units for both the Highborne and the Sentinels

 

[Himperion]

He did say that there will be new units for both the Highborne and the Sentinels

Yes, i known, but Tunro also said that the newer units were going to be in spoilers until the release.

About the Sentinel, the male rogue was a damage dealer, so the female is going to be a support or disabler?

 

[Turnro]

Happy holidays guys! Just a quick post to show you all the Highborne tech-tree so far. This is subject to change as I progress on Malfurion's Quest, but I feel that the main bulk is there.

Highborne Tech-Tree

I have also added the additional information regarding the tech-tree changes I've made to the original night elf race:

New Units
SENTRY - Tier-1 melee unit with supportive spells. Has the Shadow Meld, Elune's Blessing and Swiftness of Elune abilities. Can be trained at the Ancient of War.
FURBOLG SHAMAN - Supportive spell-caster, with the Barkskin, Lightning Shield, and Healing Wave spells. Can be trained at the Ancient of Lore.
STALKER - Melee stealthed unit. Has the Shadow Meld, Critical Strike, and Evasion abilities. Can be trained at the Den of Shadows.
JAILOR - Tactical ranged unit. Has the Shadow Meld, Shadow Strike, and Blink abilities. Can be trained at the Den of Shadows.

New Building
DEN OF SHADOWS - Stealth unit training building. Trains Stalkers and Jailors, as well as containing the Permanent Invisibility and Blink upgrades.

New Upgrades
ELUNE'S BLESSING - Grants Sentries with the Elune's Blessing ability, which allows them to recover 200 lost hit points per use.
LUNAR UPGRADE - Upgrades Archers into Lunar Archers, permanently increasing hit points by 100 and damage by 3. Lunar Archers also have access to the Moon Arrows ability, which allows them to deal area-of-effect damage to enemy units. Hippogryph Riders also benefit from the additional damage and Moon Arrows ability.
SWIFTNESS OF ELUNE - Grants Sentries with the Swiftness of Elune ability, which increases the attack and movement rate of a single-target friendly unit for 45 seconds. This ability is auto-cast.
ETHEREAL FORM - Allows Faerie Dragons to transition in and out of ethereal form. Ethereal units are immune to physical damage but cannot attack.
FURBOLG SHAMAN ADEPT/MASTER TRAINING - Increases Furbolg Shamans' mana capacity, mana regeneration rate, hit points, and grants them Lightning Shield/Healing Wave.
PERMANENT INVISIBILITY - Permanently upgrades Stalkers to be invisible. However, Stalkers will break their invisibility while engaging in combat.
BLINK - Grants Jailors with the ability to move in and out of combat at the cost of mana.

Other Changes
- Huntresses now start off with the Moon Glaives upgrade automatically
- Glaive Throwers have a new skin and icon
- The Marksmanship upgrade for Archers has been removed in favor for the Lunar Upgrade
- Mountain Giants now start off with Resistant Skin automatically upgraded
- Phase Shift will now heal Faerie Dragons of 75 hit points with each use

 

[StormKnight]

umm the lunar upgrade dose improve the damage with the splash effect right???
cuz if it dosent i rather have Marksmanship that bostes damage up to 4
also are you sure giving the archers the splash ability is good ?? the ability is good but feels a little weird that a small arrow is strong enough to give SPLASH effect,

and cant the highborne claric's spell of heal be changed with restoring mana cuz its typical priest behavior, also same thing with the power shield im not sure that its changed sense i didnt DL the new ver yet but ether i advice to change or if its allready done well just inform me

 

[MogulKahn]

I would honestly prefer some custom spells, but still, amazing job!

 

[Turnro]

Marksmanship only increases damage by 3, so the Lunar upgrade does what the former did plus more.

I would honestly prefer some custom spells, but still, amazing job!

You mean post about some custom spells the heroes/units have or something else?

 

[Himperion]

Wonder what will be the solution from the Sentinel branch to the fel orcs, even Mountain Giants can't tank chaos damage and even with support there is always a good amount of loses. In the Highborne branch Dragonhawks + Heros are more than enough after you upgrade a few things.

 

[MogulKahn]

Well, it is a campaign. I mever had problems with tanking things. You can pretty much A-click to finish majority of the time.

When I say custom spells, I mean units having custom spells in a way that they were not seen before. Critical strike, evasion, healing wave is nothing new. But still it is not a big deal!

 

[Wrath King]

The only thing I want is that the Arcane Golem should be moved to another building because upgrading the Violet Sanctum takes forever and without it the Highborne's only tanking unit is Malfurion's Ice Golem.

 

[StormKnight]

the arcane golam can be moved out of the the violet tower however his purpose is not a tanking unit but a lumber harvester but still cuz his a golam i think it has anti spell skin,

((I agree with Mogul Kahn on this spells are a bit copyed from regular ones for the highborn ofc i think that Mogul means overall spells but still this is bad and if im not mistaking the Enchantress of the highborn also has the slow ability and WHY didnt anyone paid attention to my last posting about the priest/claric spell problem???))
