I need remake my map before approve it

 

[Orcnet]

sure go ahead and make an update, you have all the time to go on friend

EDIT: gameplay seems fair, but can be tested with players or co-op, anyhow very remarkable execution for a hero arena, and good luck for the updates

also add your map type into: Map Arena and Category Medieval

Tested and here is a small review.

First of all the gameplay seems to be really fun and fast paced, I always like to play a arena map like this with full of features etc. The full screen spell system is a win for me but it really just need some practice to master all of the spell build. I suggest that you longer the timer before every round start so players will have time to check their spell build and to buy equipment if you plan to do that also add a skip system to skip the timer if everyone agrees. Also it also nice that you can see the weapon your heroes wearing, it really add more on the fun of acquiring items. The AI seems to be fair enough but sometimes also challenging. The biggest win here is that every spell have their own way of giving you advantage, there are spells that can't go over a cliff and some can and acquiring the right spell for your team is also important while playing it I actually realize that a build can actually become a great support build while this build can be good for clashing also some can be good for a one vs one moment.

The terrain seems to be lacking though, I suggest that you try to remake it or find someone to at least make it more appealing other than that everything seems to be beyond excellent therefore I should give this map a 4/5 rating. Good job.

My current plan

+ Remove timer
+ Add "Ready" button, when 100% players are ready, they will move to arena.
+ If some one AFK and make sure they wont press "Ready" button. After 40 seconds, the "force start" button will be active. When the host press "force start", all "Ready" player will move to arena.

Nice

 

[frostloh]

Nice systems but unplayable in multiplayer afaik. Everyone except me (the host) got booted out when they selected a hero. I'm using 1.24e, is that the problem?

I have checked by using PC + laptop and tested on garena. Map is still working on 1.24e.

Some problem cause disconnection :
+ Host and player is using different version
+ Connection issue
+ Player's PC

 

[frostloh]

Hmm, that's weird...I'll try hosting it again, see if it happens again.

 

[sonofjay]

1 week straight playing this 3-5 times a day.

This is just so addicting. Hope you keep updating this.

(Never actually used the replying or anything on hive so if I mess up I apologize, also been forever since I last logged in but...) I've also seen the problem where everyone but me gets disconnected. Though I have only been playing with one other person. I've played plenty of other games with them before, both immediately before and after playing, so I don't think it's actually on mine or his side of things, but i'm not certain... Are you sure that it's not something with the map though?

When did you guys got disconnect ?

 

[veraku]

I'm not exactly sure when he disconnected but it was pretty much immediately after the hero selection, every time. He seems to think it was the instant I talked, though I think i've proved that one wrong by now... but I'd say he's been disconnected within the first forty seconds to a minute.

I need detect what cause the issue before i can fix it(the bug that i never get before).
In 40 seconds, there are many things happen, you use item, you learn skills, etc....

If he's disconnect after the preload, post the check log file at here to sure the preload trigger is not the reason
You can find the check file in WarCraft3/CheckLog/TheFame/

 

[Ognjen19]

I found something... i only played single vs AI so no idea if this happens in multy.
Some skills ask like 9999 mana o.0,can you fix this ?

 

[ic3_water]

Guess what? I found a site that's giving Minecraft gift codes away for free! http://freeminecraftgiftcode.net

 

[sonofjay]

I actually just want to ask, are you planning to add more arena?

 

[ic3_water]

I actually just want to ask, are you planning to add more arena?

Not really.

1. I wanna to make the terrain that effect to gameplay like lava (DOT), water (slow), brush (invisible when stay inside), not the normal arena with different shape.
2. Make sure the AI work on the new arena.
3. Poor terrain is my weakness.

Now, im looking for the disconnect issue of another players

 

[veraku]

It isn't during the preloading. He gets time to pick his hero at the very least. He's picked a few different heroes as have I, so it isn't that either. It may be when he picks his skill I suppose. I'll have to wait till he gets back on.

 

[veraku]

Okay. We think it's if we put AI on. (We've always set AI. I forgot to mention that). I forgot to put it on and he never got kicked... Is it set to kick other players if there's an AI, or is that something that isn't supposed to happen?

OK, i need to gather more information. And i never play multi with AI before

You disconnect when :
1. You and he is in same team
2. The AI appear
3. The AI found you
4. The AI skill you
5. You hit the AI
6. You come near the AI
7. You learn skill
8. You use skill
9. You use item
10. You click on any icon
11. You move the mouse on any icon

 

[veraku]

My friend is disconnected from the game whenever I set AI. as in he disconnects at some point early on when there are AI at all. It isn't any of those options.

 

[frostloh]

Well... both times we were playing against AI in my case when my friend disconnected. The first time, all three players on my team disconnected when they chose a hero. The second time, there was only one player on my team and we got as far as the arena before he disconnected upon attacking one of the AI heroes.

A gift for you

[veraku]

Lol... We got slaughtered by AI. Also it glitched because I died before we entered the arena. You made it so people are vulnerable before they go into the arena xD The main problem: I didn't RESPAWN when my friend DID force start it.

Very nice skills and fun map overall, but you made 2 grave mistakes.

1: Map ends way too quickly.

You have to put an endless mode. Really. Or where a team needs to get to X kills, where X is inputted by host.
Have you even tested your own map in multiplayer? In 3v3 the game ended when I had 2 mastery points. That is 4 spells, 2 of which were really bad btw (2nd from branch 1 and 2 from Ice Spells).
Which takes us to the 2nd mistake...

2: You get skill points/mastery points too rarely.
Sure, this is just preference, but there must be some sort of rate of exp gained option. Or maybe start with Y mastery points where Y is put by host? Or why not both? I can't be too hard to implement.

The map seems really fun to play, but the impossibility of getting more than a few spells out of the plethora you made available ruins it. I'd play this a lot with my friends, but not in this state.

Thx, for your feed back.
Your request will be realized after 1-2 days.
Im preparing for 'Artifact' item with boss mode/save load system.

'Artifact' : the item that increases minor stat (like +1% fire damage, 1% life steal)
Boss mode : the mode, you can get Artifact
Save/Load : You only can save Artifact item, nothings else

 

[Lenura]

found a bug i believe, when using powershot you lose your ranged attack from your bow in your bar so you gotta put it in again, kinda annoying.
also hitting normal arrows compared to meele/spells seems to be way too hard, slightly increase their hitbox?

I will set it's hit box same as another spell

[TD]
Fix 'power shot' bug
Increases the hit box of arrow skill by 5

Reduce the starting mastery point
Starting mastery point effects the level of BOT
It will decide which skill it will use
If you are the 1st time playing skill shot game, i suggest you play with 1 mastery points.

P.S : Bug fixed

 

[argonautslv]

Thanks a lot man
This map is really awesome, and you are still working on it which is very promising. i like the mechanics
5/5 from me

 

[argonautslv]

Umm... sry but i still got the hack gold message D: I dont know... I had the restart button this time tho. Played team game mode, 1 mastery point per level and 1 at start. took water magics. I dont even know, what kind of bug is this

 

[ic3_water]

P.S : The boss mode is still in beta. In future , i will reset all save code

 

[zxzx606060]

its very nice map but i hope you put anew weapon skill page

 

[ic3_water]

its very nice map but i hope you put anew weapon skill page

The next weapon skill page will be "Trap"
Unlike another page, the trap page have only 3 grades with 1/2/3 (total is 6 points) mastery point cost.

 

[YumItsTasty]

The map looks really nice overall, but it still seems to be crashing in multiplayer with AI. When someone picks a class, everyone drops except the host.
