Reasons: Other: If you have any complaints or questions directed towards a moderator, make a thread here: Map Resource Moderation If you think the moderator's judging is unfair or you have overall complaints, make a thread here: Admin Contact Please read the rules thoroughly: Rules Comment: Review: Gameplay: You've recreated the diablo level really well, the sequences, the quests, the events, ... There's also a lot of movement, creatures jumping at you, with their own specialties. All of the diablo 3 characters are also available, with their most fun spells and with really neat looking and fitting spell icons. Also a custom UI texture! The map lasts really long, there's a lot of content and a lot of different creatures, so it doesn't get boring too soon. Combat is also very satisfying, with all the blood effect. This one is really, really long and there's quite a lot of content, completely different area types, first you're outside, then inside a castle, etc. Terrain: An amazing terrain work, very detailed, a lot of custom textures and models used to make the map really feel and look diablo-like. The cliffs are smooth, the river is really neat and even though it's such a huge map, every inch of the terrain is detailed and polished. Other: Neat loading screen image and preview image, as well as a nice THW description. Overall: Another amazing diablo 3 recreated level made by Booody, a lot of content, for multiple people packed with intense combat and a gorgeous environment.

 

[aiyz]

so far!!lol!!!
great map!

 

[ArneXis]

So far awesome, only thing thats bothering me is the massive lag energy twister(Wizards Spell) causes and the outdoor terrain fades away compared to the monastery.

 

[Kl3sk]

This is all I'm going to say : "REP"



- Rating : 5/5
- Voting for : Approval (by any means necessary)

 

[GolluM_KoMe]

Waow he wizard just owns !
+rep, approval and 5/5 btw

 

[vimelo95]

Just finished, and I loved it.

Approval, and 5/5.

 

[light bolt30]

Awesome map!! 5/5

 

[dead-man-walking]

You never cease to amaze peeps eh?
Will test it. I hope it's better (or at least of the same quality) with Borderlands.

 

[J_Low]

This is by far one of the best war3 diablo map.

 

[Anarion]

That looks insanely awesome!

 

[Narrat0r]

As I see from the screenshots, it's not much different than CloudWolf's map, but i'll take a look ;-)

 

[dead-man-walking]

After playing and finishing this on Singleplayer with Barbarian, all that I can think of is:
"HOLY... COW... MUST... GIEF... RAEPPPZZZzzz..."
No, really I'm serious. The Terrain is epic. Not to mention that you're able to replicate D3W's Terrain and make it more see-able. Although I really hate the fact that I don't get to fight Leoric. Not to mention that at one point (after killing the ghosts), I got a thinking that I got stuck until I see a small ladder there. Also, I like the Icons of Borderlands more, but that just me. Overall pretty awesome.

VOTES:
-Approval
-4.5/5, Rounded Up to 5!

EXTRAS:
-Rep!

 

[Vengeancekael]

And gief me rep for translating xD
Finally released i see, will check it out in the weekend

 

[ngocstar]

i really liked it !

 

[Booody]

Thank you for your positve comments

I want to say that the map is only an alpha version. In the full version you will fight against Leoric the Skeleton King in his throne room and you will go in a new outdoor area. There will be the Siegebreaker then. If the time has come I will release more screenshots.

The indoor and outdoor terrain is not final in this version. In the full version the Terrain will be improved

 

[redmarine]

Great map and lots of fun.

However, there are room for improvements.

• Quest givers talk too slow, gets moving real fast.
• There is a glitch which allows you to pick up staffs. If you manage to pick up two items before one is dropped the trigger won't persue the second item.
  
  Might take a couple of seconds to load

  
• If you drop pick drop pick the same item 5 times you'll get it into your inventory. Only worked once though. :/
• The camera is quite shaky. Perhaps you could set the camera z to the player + camera height every 0.01 second using a timer.
  Perhaps use something like this?
  
  Trigger

  • Set rect = (Position of Heroes[PlayerViewing[(Integer A)]])
  • Camera - Pan camera for (Player((Integer A))) to rect over 0.10 seconds
  • Camera - Set (Player((Integer A)))'s camera Angle of attack to 315.00 over 0.01 seconds
  • Camera - Set (Player((Integer A)))'s camera Rotation to 140.00 over 0.01 seconds
  • Custom script: set udg_z = GetCameraField(CAMERA_FIELD_ZOFFSET)+300 - (256- GetLocationZ(udg_rect))-GetCameraTargetPositionZ()
  • Camera - Set (Player((Integer A)))'s camera Height Offset to z over 0.05 seconds
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_rect)
• The life bar of the chests are visible after death. Change this by adding locus once destroyed.
  
  Might take a couple of seconds to load

  
• The pillars can move if you leap near them. Perhaps make the leap unable to pushback structures.

That's all for now.

I actually had WAY more fun playing this, then diablo 3 warcraft. it's just more dynamic hackn' slash theirs is just too warcraftisch (it's also good too, no offenste )

anyway: the only thing I have to complain about the terrain outside the cathedral. around the walls of the location where your quests are starting, it's just plain grass and some bushes, that are placed in the same direction and scaling :/ fix that and also, I WANT TO PLAY AGAINST THE SKELETON KING

but, it's really great +rep

 

[Erader]

Looks awesome! But it sais KI instead of AI and when Skeleton king sais: "You dare to bring the warmth of life into my tomb?" it should be ?! insted of just ? in the end.
Great job anyway.

 

[Adiktuz]

downloading... cant wait to play this... please continue making diablo III maps... ^^

 

[Latecat]

You know, the last screenshot of the cathedral or w/e it is, it reminds me of the church cinematic in D1, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbNr6PEodN0

 

[RiotZ]

Hmmm another DIII Map if it's half as good as cloud's it's a win.

 

[Adiktuz]

Hmmm another DIII Map if it's half as good as cloud's it's a win.

I havent played this yet but if this is as good as his DIII Borderlands map then this is surely a great map...

 

[darkdeathknight]

What's KI mean? (written in the description)

 

[Wezthal]

There's this room where you try open a chest, doors close and ghosts start spawning until you destroy the obelisks. I think the number of ghosts spawned in total per obelisk should be limited, because that room could be used to farm max lvl by Hold Positioning near the obelisk so that ghosts autoattack you but you won't accidently attack the obelisk.

 

[Hodge-Podge]

This game is bloody brilliant! 5/5 all the way!

 

[darkdeathknight]

This one was a bit less fun then the other one. I never fought the last boss and there was no real challenge. A bit dissapointed actually 3/5

 

[Booody]

I have updated the screenshots...

 

[Grim_Viper]

Wow awesome map man 5/5 +rep

 

[Nillere]

Downloaded and tested.

The first i thought when looking at the terrain inside the cathredral was "This is really Booody, not someone who's faking the name."

Terrains are indeed really nice, the same with the gameplay etc. etc.

The difficulty aint like "Ohhh shit it's easy!" Or "Dammit it's too hard!"

I've only tested Barbarian until yet. Spells seems like the same as your older map, tho it's nothing bad!

I've found a coupple of grammar mistakes somewhere, tho i can't remember where.

I vote for APPROVAL
+rep.

Brutally Honest Review #2!
This map has definately improved from borderlands but still has some of the same problems. I get massive lag when casting the Wizard's energy twister thing. Most of the spells are still rips from CloudWolf's map. The grammar is still terrible and there's a part at the beginning of the game when you talk to the women she says something then she says something else before you can finish reading and if you walk by the bandit he says something too so your screen is just spammed with bullshit fix that up please. You can just walk by the Thousand Pounder at that point of the map he won't follow you nor is there a pathing blocker at the top of the stairs so you can just go up the stairs and out the door without fighting him. The balancing is still alright but it remains a problem. The mongrol spell is still messed up mongrol still don't follow you. Everything else is ok.... So it earns you this professional review of 3.5\5 and a personal review of 4\5 (I liked this alot more than borderlands but it still needs imba work.

I also noticed that the items you can pick-up aren't supposed to be used by your class in most cases and this hasn't been fixed from borderlands which greatly reduces your rating.

 

[jyhv]

this map is so fucking awesome in every way 5/5

Again, you are overreacting a little, although in this one i didn't get the map to translate since booody just based it on the borderlands map. But i have contacted booody and i should be getting the map to improve the dialogues

 

[Booody]

I have updated the map to v.0.8 Alpha. Have fun...

 

[Itachi009]

this is really detailed made !
i always liked uber tristram runs in d2 so +rep

 

[Lilstriker]

Great Job dude, love the Terrain and the spells.

 

[hell gate]

new version D

 

[RiotZ]

I'm not overreacting in any way a map must be almost absolutely perfect and without error in my opinion to become a 4\5 - 5\5 map. This map is way too buggy to beat cloudwolf's or get a rating above 3\5 the terrain carries the map without the terrain this map is like a 2\5.

And if you're wondering how come I am making these assements. > Because I am a very low profile very skilled mapper.

And btw this map is MUCH more stable than borderlands I thought borderlands what a pretty bad rip-off which would be declined without good terrain.

 

[hell gate]

this map is better because i overwrote the most things and made new lagg less spells and systems

 

[ws-Johnpaul]

I played this map as a wizard to the end, and i have to say that this is pure awesomeness. Although never saw a Item Set for the wizard class, that could be because i only went through the game once. I think this is a very good map, and the terrain was really nice.

This map review set-up is based on that created and used by Tank Commander,

I review maps that look interesting or promising. If you wish for me to review your map, or if notable changes have occured to a map I have already reviewed, then you may message me with a link to your map and I will review it within the next week.

(5 marks) - Terraining/Environment
(5 marks) - Triggering
(15 marks) - Gameplay
(10 marks) - Innovation/Originality
(5 marks) - Interface/Object Editor Work

1-7 marks = (1) Poor quality map, unfit for the Hive (usually a beginners map)

8-14 marks = (2) The beginnings of a map are there, but it still needs work and is likely unfinished.

15-21 marks = (3) An adequate map, is fun for a game or two and functions.

22-28 marks = (4) Shows promise and has some interesting features; playability is high.

29-35 marks = (5) A fine example of Hive-quality; will keep you entertained for several games at least and updates are looked forward to.

35+ marks = (6) A simply brilliant warcraft map. Features are flawlessly implemented, code is legit, game is fun, and the constraints of
Warcraft 3 are challenged.

Terraining (5/5) - Although you do draw on many of Cloudwolfs original ideas and some of the actual environment itself is snapshotted from Diablo 3 trailers, it is nevertheless brilliant and beautifully implemented.

Triggering (N/A) - Map is protected, thus this section will be discounted.

Gameplay (14/15) - A.I. heroes are available that follow you wherever you go, combat enemies, and use abilities. A plethora of different creeps fill the tristram cathedral dungeon; many of them have special attributes or spells that make it so you must combat them differently. Dungeon "feel" is awsome and is supplemented by the combat, characters, environment, items, and general gameplay. Random events are very cool (Cain's archer being crushed by a nearby collapsing wall was epic). On the con side, the creeps need to be weaker to give it that more "hack n' slash" feel we have come to love and expect from Diablo games. I experienced a large amount of lag in the first dungeon fight where you are swarmed by ghouls and during some Boss activity. The Wizards twister ability causes horendous lag; fix it or remove it.

Innovation/Originality (6/10) - While you did take some ideas from Cloudwolfs "Diablo Warcraft" map and this is ofcourse based on Blizzard's upcoming Diablo 3 (both of which I must count you down for), you still did much yourself and the overall sense I got was that this was an innovative project that can be set apart from the rest.

Interface/Object Editor Work (5/5) - Ability tooltips are well-done and adequately detailed. The UI is appropriately modified and helps the user understand gameplay. A custom interface is even used!

- You spelled strength wrong in the Bone Chestpiece tooltip
- Nerf the spawn rates of the ghosts in the four-obelisk room
- The Witch Doctor's "Dark Helmet" item has a usable ability that does nothing or isn't mentioned in the tooltip
- During the first Deckard Cain interaction, the hero says "Cain you still alive!" instead of "Cain you're still alive!"
- The Frozen Sword is not classified as a Barbarian item even though it says it is in the tooltip
- The first Boss's knockback ability causes notable lag
- When the game is over (and your entire team is dead) nothing happens. Your screen just sits there and stares at your body. I would suggest implementing some sort of end-game message or official ending.
- In the first village-area (before any combat) my screen was filled up with text. If you base this on when I get near npcs you need to decrease the text-trigger radius for the npcs. If its a timed thing you need to just make it so there is less text.
- There is a really cool mirror-image icon for the blizzard in the icon section that I would recommend using.
- As a witch doctor, I was able to pick up a shortsword by consecutively picking up two of them within a second or so:

Shortsword Glitch

Final Marking - (35/40)

[Vengeancekael]

Remove the "My Maps", that's called ads and it isn't allowed.
Edit: somehow, with each new diablo 3 map he makes, he puts my name deeper and deeper in the description so no one will find it

 

[Pinachet]

Rather good map. Worth playing

 

[Coaster_Man]

That was really good, loved the terrain, spells, etc. Although, like N1ighthawk pointed out, I too picked up a barbarian class weapon, but as a Wizard. It was a Frost Blade of some sort. I loved the fog effects and the feel of New Tristram that you brought with this map. The only thing I disliked was that the same music was played over and over and over again. How about some creepy New Tristram music, and some creepy dungeon music? That is, if the file size will allow it.
All in all, great map, loved it, very fun
4.5/5

 

[co0kiemonster]

2 main problems.
When you walk off the edge of bridges that creeps crawl out of you are teleported to the start of the dungeon. this becomes a problem if you walk off the bridge present in the middle of the dungeon.
The problem with the inventory system still exists. you could try to mute items that players pick up if they are not their class's (though i don't actually like that, i rather you fix your inventory system as it is)
extra: the translation still has many errors. e.g: the class of "axe of courage" is Barbar. who's that?
3/5 just because it has no siegebreaker yet, thus no ending. and that makes it less fun to play than borderlands.

 

[Booody]

The map is updated (v.1.0). You can fight against the Siegebreaker now. Have fun

I played this after I saw it on DiabloFans. This map is epic. Cant wait to see final version. Almost takes the cake from Cloudwolf.

5/5

 

[Coaster_Man]

AMAZING JOB!! ;D
A great map, very fun, very diablo!
I loved the outdoor terrain especially, looks just like in the Diablo III gameplay video! (inside the cathedral as well)

 

[bloody_Mage]

Yeah this map is awesome.The skills are cool,the gameplay is great and the terrain is almost like diablo 3.One of the best maps ever seen
