In first mission, when I reached the the site with dead draconians, after the cinematic all remained black. Did you forget to remove black mask?

It was really stanger, i just test all the campaign yesterday, and was pretty fine, and now, the fade out/in was bugged, and all the time i have send to the testers, don't happen this as well lol

Anyway, campaign updated without this bug, thanks for inform!

The next things seems strange:

1. Same as above for the fade bug in Ch.1.
2. The chapters are not like 1-2-3-4-5 etc but Ch.1 then Ch.2 then different mission but again with name Ch.2 etc.
3. Heroes spells and items - in every second chapter all items obtained in previous missions disappeared. And as far as you could obtain only 1-2 items during the chapter - it is sad( Same with spells - from the start you got the hero's level as it was in the end of the previous chapter, but the skills used on another spells( also sad((
and for sure the stats increased via books I've obtained (int book for Jaina) was not saved too.
4. Pandaren hero hasn't got an inventory at all.
5. Madera's polymorph is just imba, it is easy to kill almost any boss - cd between casts is about 6 seconds, and the spell time is 5 seconds - something like that.
6. Maybe add the ability to the heroes to obtain 2-3 levels during big chapters and increase the maximum hero level? When you play 30 minutes and can't lvl up your hero after 5 minute - seems unfair)

Anyway, the campaign idea and it's realisation is just great!!!! Thank you for spending so much time for us while creating it!

After almost a week of being inactive, it's a great surprise seeing Tides of War being released. Expect my great review of this campaign.

Great job to Forsaken and his teammates. You all did a great work making this big campaign successful and finally reaching the den of the Avengers (I mean Map Sections).

Was surprised that there is no final chapter(( thought that it is not some kind of beta!

My final review-points, after all chapters walkthrough:

Positive:
- Great terrain! Just nothing to add about it.
- Models usage - so much non-standart units and heroes
- Storyline (new and fresh combination)

Bugs & suggestions:
- In chapter, where you have to kill Sha of Pride and other bosses - in both cinematics and in game you got 2 Jainas 2 Vereesas and 2 Elf lords. Suppose it is a bug)
- Lack of items and side quests (maybe with neutral units) dissapointed me a bit( You kill bosses, but receive nothing. Maybe add some item for Jaina that would be upgraded in each chapter via optional quests? And again - the fact that you lose previously obtained items and stats bonus is also strange.
- There is some heroes that took part only in 2-3 chapters - maybe inform about it ingame? Because if you use books or items on hero that wouldn't be a part of further walkthrough - you'd just lose it.

Anyway, the atmosphere is great, and I'll be more than happy if my comments could help you improve something))
 
Well I watched the prologue and the intro to the first mission and I must say it is just brilliant the work that's been made since the Betas. One thing though which still sticks out is the dialogue, it needs a bit of an improvement.

I'll give a full review once I'm finished playing.
 
The dialogue is already fixed! The video is outdated Footman16 (Forsakie got lazy to put a new one xD)
Edit: Sometimes I had to re-write some parts because you know (Forsaken got it wrong:/) So some parts will not make sense to you while to others it will appear correctly. It depends on each one's view of the English language:)

Just to play the first two chapters, why can't equip inheritance

Do you mean the chapter one with the fade in/out bugged? or?
If yes, just dl again, the bug is fixed already xD

Major Bug: In the "Purge of Dalaran" stage, killing Lord Tolyryn completes the "Kill Gearmage Astalon" quest objective instead. You can't complete the quest because the "Kill Lord Tolyryn" quest objective can't be accomplished. Because the quest can't be accomplished, the stage can't be finished.

LOL, that stanger, this never happen to me, and i just test it now, and it's fine, but, anyway,i will try to fix it, thanks!

1- Fix
2- lol, i will fix this!
3- Itest it, just in some maps is bugged for me, but i will fix.
4- I know, it was me who don't want to put it.
5- Yep, i will just let to use in units, not in heros.
6- For me it's fine, if gain more level, it's became more easy thena already is.

Thanks for the feedback, and i'm glad that you liked xD

Thanks for the feedback, but, it's stanger about 2 heros in the last playable map, i don't know why this happened, again, i test it, and is fine lol, But i will try to fix!
And this campaign is done, the other part will be in the other campaign, i will post more about soon.
I'm glad that you liked :)

But.....but wanted to kill Garrosh :'c

Just in the next campaign, the sequal of Tides of War! :)

I'll give a full review once I'm finished playing.

Thanks, can wait to see your feedback, but the grammar for me, it's pretty fine. :)

Going to give a detailed and demanding review within a week or two. Congratulations on the release.

Thanks! Can wait to see your review. :)

I will try to update the campaign as soon as i fixed the bugs xD

I'm not talking about the video, I played the actual campaign and some of it did not make sense. If you want I can point them out in a PM so you can fix them.

Text Review:
Impressive campaign. Very nice use of custom models and skins, and beautiful terrain all around. You did a great job at taking the important parts of the book and putting them together in a campaign, there is very nice mission variety and tile set variety. Could have used voice acting, but most custom campaigns don't have that anyway so it's not that big of a deal. Some of the dialogue go by very fast, i suggest reading some of it out loud to yourself to see if you can finish the sentence. There were a few odd spellings and minor bugs here and there but nothing big and i think you might have fixed them as i read above. Overall great campaign and defiantly worth a play-through, nice difficulty, though could be paced a little bit better in the beginning, to ease people into it. Check out video for more information.

Score:
5/5 Approval

Odd spellings? What do you mean?
Edit: Maybe I forgot to correct some of them(Forsakie you bad boy:/). Believe me, it was a lot of manual labor sort of, with the grammatical errors. (I might have forgotten some of those)
Edit: Now I get it. Well I only corrected the grammatical errors not the timing of the messages. Tell that to Forsaken if you have trouble reading it.
Edit: I haven't corrected the loading screen messages, those are written by Forsaken, not me!
-----------------------
On behalf of the ToW team, I thank you for taking your time to check this campaign.

will spend this day just to download, play, and give this game review, because it's just amazing to see a big project is finally sucessfully developed, great job there.. this project must have took your life :eek: and as neo said, it perhaps deserves DC..

my first suggestion:
don't update it too often, except if you have done a lot of fixes and updates, because the file size is really something.
