Introduction

It's time for me to finally release a full map for a very long time; and I present you: (Boss) Challenges! The main idea for those map(s) is that players will build up a team of five (5) or three (3) players in order to fight a boss. The boss might be easy for some and impossible for others; but that's not a problem. Practise gives results. The thing is that you have a timer starting as soon as you pull the boss and when you defeat the boss the timer stops. A team who manage to defeat a boss will be able to post their final time here in order to take a position on the leaderboard (listed below; one for each boss). So, in order to defeat those bosses the players have several classes with different roles to play with. There's 8 different classes and 3 different roles. Some of you might have heard of the roles from World of Warcraft or any other game out here. The roles are the following: Tank, Healer and DPS (Damage Dealer). Every team will have the same conditions and every new boss challenge will contain the same classes as other boss challenges.

Roles

The Tank The tank is a role that is used to prevent the boss to attack weaker players in your team (as the healer or the damage dealer), as the boss hits hard the tank has defensive cooldowns to reduce the incoming damage. The Healer The healer is the one that keep every member alive in your group. With healing abilities and important cooldowns the healer will do his best not to let a member fall. The DPS (Damage Dealer) The DPS is the role who make the boss die. With a high damage output the DPS have to time and use abilities correctly to do the most damage.

Classes

Protector [Tank] Guardian [Tank] Lifebinder [Healer] Templar [Healer] Runemaster [Healer] Berserker [DPS] Assassin [DPS] Sorcerer [DPS]

Systems

Threat System Players will gain threat against the boss. The player with the highest threat will get targeted by the melee attacks from the boss. Tanks have a 3x threat multiplier from their damage done; others 1x. DPS/HPS [Damage System/Healing System] Damage per Second and Healing per Second is calculated from the players. Who's the one that deals so low damage? Who's healing low? Time to find out! All damage and healing you do will be displayed as floating texts. Custom Abilities Together with the damage and healing system every spell you use in Challenges is custom made by me. Channeling System This is an interesting feature in Challenges. A lot of abilities take x seconds to cast; if you move while casting an ability it will get interupted! This is something that actually make a boss hard! Fun boss mechanics All bosses have custom abilities they use against the player team. The players have to find out how to deal with them! The bosses also have voices they use in combat to make them feel realistic!

How to get ranked in the leaderboard

In order to get your team (team name if you'd like and player names) in the leaderboeard you have to upload a replay of the record kill here in this thread (a boss kill with a better time than the three highest listed). Goodluck!

If you find any critical bugs, please let me know so I may fix it as soon as possible.

Edit: Bumping this thread in hope to get some responses!

- Is there no interest from players (you) in maps like this?

> If yes, what makes this not interesting?
> If no, how come?​

- Is 5 players too much nowadays for a Warcraft III map?

> If yes, what do you think is a reasonable number of players for a map like this then?​

- Shall I tune the maps to scale a different amount of players?
- Is the leaderbord a fun thing to have or is it just too much?

> Maybe a 1st place (gold) is enough per challenge?​

I'd hope to see some responses so I know if it's worth continue on this path.

I would love to play maps like that and I dont really think 5 people is too much for maps, if you have friends to play with, which I certainly dont have so I will most likely not play it(at least not way it is indeded to) but if I had someone to play with I would definitly play some maps
If the bosses are unique enough it can be very interesting map

Response 01-27-2013

Thank you for your response. I could try tune the bosses so a different amount of players are able to engage and defeat the bosses and do seperate leaderboards for the amount of players. A minimum of two players it will have to be for every challenge, as single player seems a bit... Boring for maps like this. I'll see what I can do. Emilas the Corrupted is a pretty simple three phased boss, with a pretty challenging last phase for healers. If I can see more interest from people the future bosses will be more advanced and require more strategy.

Syrias Abilities

Screenshot of Syrias Area

Trying to resurrect this project by releasing a new challenge! This challenge is scaled for three (3) players. The reason I only made this for three players is because I think it's easier for players to create a group, this is just experimental and five player bosses may be added in the future.

This challenge is named Syria. Syria is an ancient guardian located in Northrend, guarding a hidden passage to the tomb of Ye'lak. It's a single phased boss, but with a lot of abilities.

You can click the tabs above to view her abilities or see a screenshot.

I've put a lot more effort into the terrain for this challenge, as I think its important for maps like this. I might re-make the terrain for Emilas the Corrupted in the future.

I've also edited the main-post of this thread, using [ tabs ], for easier navigation. You can find more information and a download button for Syria above; in the main post.
