Note before you read this:
I hope you ("Dentothor"), will read this post completely, as it explains all of your questions about my cinematic.
Furthermore, I would like you to try and understand everything I have said, except for the quote (later in this post).
If you really understand, then you might finally be able to understand why elves aren't those ancient elves.
A little add-on: I dislike most things that are "how they are supposed to be", since that's most of the time of utopian dream and a fantasy of men, I just create my own fantasies... I keep wondering what's so bad about that?
Ok why would the apocolipse be scared and drop the orb of hell? Honestly since when have you ever seen that in a good story line? Unless your cinimatic is a comedy I don't think he would get scared and drop the orb of hell.
And don't ask they question why wouldn't they go on vacation but ask yourself why would they go on vacation. I find it an abosultley pointless effort to add to the cinimatic since the world tree needs constant gaurding.
And thou shalst burn in hell and whatnot would definatley be better! Because ancient elves and pandas would not at all be talking like gangsters.
I am not trying to be mean but this map has absolutley no point in this state. Improve on this and you will get better ratings. The storyline was actually ok up to the point with the vacation. Special effects need to be better and as septimus said, the fight with illidan you don't even see. I personally think this cinimatic needs a whole lot of improvment.
Obviously you didn't watch the cinematic, I am not answering your first question untill you check for yourself why apocalypse is scared.
Yes: I've added humour, because I like to laugh... don't you?
You are creating your own storyline now: You say the world-tree needs to be guarded constantly.
Of course you say this, because that is
"standard knowledge"
Well, I don't create maps with the normal standards, as I have said before.
The only opposing force was the apocalypse and he is trapped now, why guard it when there is nothing to guard it against?
Why is the only opposing force the apocalypse and aren't there bandits? Because it's my story, I tell how it is, if I say there are no bandits, there are no bandits.
Who has ever said something about 'ancient elves'?
Why not modern elves?
Seriously: if the first person who made elves famous said they talked like gangsters, everyone would be shocked if I had used ancient words for the elves.
Do you see the irony? (I can...)
About the panda's: why should panda's talk like "ancient elves"? They can't even speak in the first place!
Again: that's another standard I broke down, I like to push things to the limit
About the fight: He actually just trapped Illidan with the powers of the Orb of Hell, so that wasn't really a "fight" in the first place, but you're right about that anyway.
Please, extend your way of thinking: the next version of this (the sequel) will have these elements as well.
I go against the "black mass", if someone goes right, I go left, if someone says elves are noble, high-regarded creatures, I let them talk like gangsters
Do you get my point?
(by the way: it's "Apocalypse", nothing else).
If you have taken your time to read this, I hope you understand.
I am not the normal guy who copies everything, I change them.
Why should we all copy things as they were created?
We aren't robots: robots copy, humans create - that's the difference.
If you like to see a quote which sums it al pretty much:
Quote
Cre-age-aeon
new beginning held in infinite vacuum
Biotronic test-world free of inscription
devoid of the echoes of man
noble savage cyborg
By the time you understand the very meaning of this, you won't even need to bother.
Ap0calypse said:
I have made this map 3.5 years ago (Septemer 2005) , this is the first map I've actually ever finished.
I've found it again when I cleared up my old PC and I've redone the terrain.
I didn't touch anything else than the terrain (I've only fixed some typo's)
This might be the reason that it's not very good, but I will not improve this. (You didn't read it, even though it said so).
I have uploaded this map, because I am creating a sequel to it.
Seriously: if you think this map defines my mapping skills, you're completely wrong...
(That is why your comment isn't mean, just pointless)
Final Note
These are the last words I'm going to spill on this matter:
A story shouldn't be obvious, it shouldn't contain everything that you would expect from it.
A story which contains only these standards will only be read/watched by numb-heads.
I have heard enough from you to say that you're not like me, unfortunately.
By now you're probably thinking this is all "bullshit", but I don't mind... I'll just go on, doing this my own way.
Approved)
