WORKING ON 2.0

Since a few days, I'm working seriously on the bad points of ISR, like duration and items. I created a blog where I'll write about my progress on the upcoming version 2.0.

Linaze: Decent RPG map, the gameplay wasn't anything special. Like the gameplay, the abilities (blizzard ones) weren't to creative nor special, but they worked and didn't have green button or so. The terrain was average but could definitely be better by adding some more doodads and tile variation.

played it and i must say the terrain is pretty good and nice hero modells

but:
story?
some unique items?
and too!!! easy
was kinda short and didn't reach the max level

and you have no time to pick up the item which is dropped by the skeleton boss, because off the cinematic and teleport

actually i would say 2.5/5

>>It is good that you have given proper credits.

Bugs:
>>When I first started the map then my spirit was not at hero selection place but near sea turtles.
>>I restarted the map & my wisp/spirit was at hero selection place. I selected a hero but it did not go anywhere but stayed at its place. I started attacking heroes & somehow got their control. I had 4 heroes then I walked inside the middle place of hero selection area & somehow got teleported to a different place.
Seeing this I have to say that there are many bugs & zero in-game info.
>>I restarted the map again & my spirit was back to the turtles.
>>I restarted again & my spirit was at the hero selection place. It seems as if this works in alternate. I noticed one more thing. I gained control of other heroes only if my first hero choosed by the spirit was lightning elemental & I had the thunder push ability.

Hey man good map you got here.

Short Review v1.2.0
Positive Points:
[+]
Good job on giving credits.
[+]Cool heroes, Well done on using appropriate models for each one.
[+]Good terrain, can use very little improvement.
[+]Nice cinematics

Negative Points:
[-]The items on the maps are rather boring.
[-]Too easy
[-]Too Short
[-]Spells can get repetitive. You may want to consider using some custom ones here at hive or wc3c.net

Possible Improvements:
[=]
Better, more exciting items.
[=]The "Forest Spirit's" Root ability lasts too long on bosses making it VERY easy. You should consider changing its duration on bosses.

Overall this is one of the better maps at hive.

I vote 3/5 {Useful} and for Approval

I don't have any idea for a posible story, but I'll try to think it for future versions.

some unique items?
[-]The items on the maps are rather boring.

I know, I'm working on custom items to replace W3 original items.

and too!!! easy
[-]Too easy

Well, I will increase the stats of the monsters.

was kinda short and didn't reach the max level
[-]Too Short

I don't like the idea of increase XP rate... so I will add more terrain, bosses, cinematics, etc in future versions.

[-]Spells can get repetitive. You may want to consider using some custom ones here at hive or wc3c.net

Hmm... I'll think on it.

>>When I first started the map then my spirit was not at hero selection place but near sea turtles.

Really? I started the game 3 times in every slot and my spirit is always where it must be.

Well, thanks to all of you for your advice. I'll try to improve the map in the next version :wink:.

heros terrain and idea are very well
enemies are completely rubbish
you should add a 2/3-player-balance or a spawn system and you should WAY improve items and drops
3/5
