Fight your way and defeat titans of the past with the ancient heroes. Each heroes has unique abilities and spells which is upgrade-able in shop using glyph and items. Forge your weapons and armors with runes to make it stronger. Each level require more time and more team work. Difficulty will increases. Some bosses drops legendary items.
​

------------------Synopsis
​

A. CHOOSING HEROES

I am able to create unique heroes choosing system. (See these following images)
You can view heroes statistic and abilities at maximum level (Your heroes started with maximum level already). Use RIGHT ARROW and LEFT ARROW to move between heroes. If you have made your choice, then press DOWN ARROW.

This system works by these following ways: The heroes are all already in position. The triggers will lock their facing and lcation so players can't move or make it cast spells. It's owned by neutral passive and during the picking session, neutral passive will share control with players. After it, the permission will be lifted. Camera is on position, so in triggers you just have to determined the unit and the camera.

​

B. BOSS COUNTDOWN

Started at: 60 seconds during first pick, 45 seconds while fightning.
After the countdown reaches 0, you'll be teleported to the arena.
If you haven't pick your heroes in mean time, your heroes will be picked randomly.
​

C. BOSS STATS: Spells, Attack Pattern, Ultimate, Energy

Boss attack pattern for this moment is not unique. I'm still trying to create conditions. What abilities boss gonna use is depends on what I stored in "Spells Queue". Boss attack pattern will same from each phase. After awhile, the boss will deplete his/her own energy (This is used to balance the game, though players can deplete boss' energy trough spells)

Boss has energy. Each spells casted by boss will increases these energies. When it reaches 5000 (Maximum energy of each boss), the boss will be able to cast ultimate). There are 2 type of spells, instant cast and channeling. Instant cast adds major energy but channeling adds minor, but still will become large amount of energy because channeling spells adds the energy for every x seconds or mili seconds.

Boss ultimate is the finish-off ability, able to kill all the players instantly. The first 4.75 seconds is the moment of gathering energy. Then the boss will start channel / unleashes it's energy. Boss is invulnerable during ultimate state. After the ultimate, the energy will reset to 0.
​

D. DAMAGE AND ELEMENTS

NORMAL: Usually owned by melee boss and heroes. Normal damage is physically strong and owned by tanks.
FIRE: Weak against water. Damage done by fire is most harmful and might cause even instant kill
EARTH: This type of element is physically stronger than normal attack type. Can manipulate terrain and focused on slow enemy units.
NATURE: Just like earth elements, but nature is less lethal. Can manipulate terrain, use teleport, roots and heal self.
LIGHTNING: The destructive power is equal to fire but lightning is the fastest element. Able to teleport and modify gravity.
WATER: Less fast than lightning. Water can modify it's form and able to summon companions.
SHADOW: Master of necromancy. Can summon the dead and mostly use souls. Able to drain life of players or bosses.
HOLY: Low damage but can heal others. Able to ressurect.
DEMONIC: Physically stronger than the others. Able to transform. Damage is chaotic which penetrate all armors. Owned by the final boss and warlock's pet.
ARCANE: Owned by most boss, arcane is combined with other specialization. Focused arcane is fastest in casting spells with less damage. Low in physics but can manipulate mana as shield.

Old Post

Hey, I'm trying to create the second version of warcraft impossible bosses. I'm a fan to the map because it's simple, cool and enjoyable. Anyway, here's short overview:

NB: 40% of boss spells are not MUI. I made this map full with GUI with no JASS at all. I don't understand and don't wish to learn it either. But heroes spells are MUI.

GENESIS OF DARKNESS

CREATOR
Develyngyr

SYNOPSIS
Those titans have gone mad. They're planning to destroy the land of Ardale. Pick the best heroes and make the best team work to defeat those titans and claim its rewards.

Heroes & Hero Picking System

I was able to create advance choosing system, where the players can see abilities of each heroes:

Hero Picking System

1

2

You can use left arrow and right arrow on keyboard to search. There are around 8 eight different heroes. After you made your choice press the down arrow button.
​

Shops

Buy items before fight the boss. I was planning to create glyph to increases ability effect. I just wanted to make simple items that requires no recipe but can be upgraded using runes.

Shop

Above there are gold, ruby and stats. Gold will be given from each victory or by killing creeps. Ruby will be given each victory and be the one who finish the boss. Stats (The red claw thing) display how many boss you've defeated.

​

Windows

There are timers, boss energy and boss status windows.

Timers shows how many second left before you will be teleported to the arena
Energy shows how many more energy that boss required to enter ultimate state
Status shows boss current state​

Fightning Boss

This where the game starts. Enjoy screenshot

PREVIEW

​

Other heroes and bosses is in progress. Please give me suggestions If you want to donate boss spell pack or heroes I'd be glad hahaha

 

[cleavinghammer]

A list of the current and planned heroes and bosses with their spells would be useful.

By upgraded items, do you mean something like... Healing Potion gives 500 health, with a rune on it it gives 750?

 

[Paulus]

A hero with hook-ability. So he will hook a hero towards him.
A hero that does not attack but only cast spells that are dodge-able.

 

[Veritas 117]

Those are some nice looking boss abilities. Loads of eye candy. They remind me of some of the boss fights in The Chosen Ones by Aeroblyctos.

 

[Develyngyr]

I'm updating the spell list of bosses. Heroes' spells consist of simple spells with nice eye candy too, although it's much simpler that boss' spells.

Upgrading potions won't be possible. It only effect armors, weapons, etc

Which hero is suit the best for a hook ability? The classification is just like WoW. Mages, Druid, Paladin, Ranger, Hunter, etc

 

[Garodar]

Borrow me some of those effects 'cuz they look pretty cool.

 

[Paulus]

I was talking about Bosses instead of hero's. So a Boss that hooks a hero towards him and then unleashes hell on him/her unless they run away

 

[Develyngyr]

I'd love to give the open source as soon as this project is finished.

@Paulus ohh that's okayy. The hook will be avoidable and usable by butcher boss. But I'm still confused with the ability

 

[Develyngyr]

One hero done...

PRIEST - Damage Dealer (Weak) / Healer / Spell Caster (Buffer)

(5) Divine Shield - Avoid any kind of damage for 1.5 seconds. During this state, priest restores 150 mana and 1500 hitpoints.
(1) Holy Light - Heals a target friendly wounded unit for 768-1153 hitpoints.
(3) Holy Burst - Causes 325-472 holy damage.
(6) Inner Fire - Heals target unit for 1500 hitpoints over 30 seconds. Meantime, target friendly unit's damage increased by 25% and armor by 5.
(7) Weave - Calls forth a wave of healing energy that bounces up to 6 times, healing 675 damage on the primary target. Each jump heals 10% less damage.
(2) Chakra Magic - Restore 150 mana or deplete boss' energy by 325.
(4) Resurrect - Channel for 3 seconds near the closest death mark left by fallen heroes and raise it from the dead with 50% health and 25% mana. Restores 3000 hitpoint afterwards for 30 seconds.

 

[Gwy]

nice idea, i liked the map too.

overall suggestion: Make it beatable for smaller teams, now lesser people play warcraft. Make Bosses beatable for 4 players minimum and then scaling to max 10 players. That would be great.

And maybe: Look at the boss/ hero design form the map "obsidian depth" (in wc3c.net), one of the best boss fighting maps imo.

Greetings and success!

 

[Develyngyr]

Thanks
The difficulty varies, boss' damage depend on:
1) difficulty
2) player numbers

The damage done by boss' spells will be reduced along with player numbers and difficulty.

I already looked and tested Obsidian depth, I liked the terrain and dugeon system, but I think the boss still needs improvement Still vote for IB

----------------------

Priest is completed. Warlock is still 70%. Warlock's ability is complex so this is the hard one.

UPDATE #2

Warlock

1) Soulfire: Causes 387-465 damage and deplete boss' energy by 375-427. Units under the effect of Curse of Agony will take 375 bonus damage in exchange of ability debuff. Gives 2 second stun.
2) Curse of Agony: Summon powerful doom guard to aid warlock in battle. Doom guard has 5000 hitpoints, 1250 mana, 90-112 chaos damage and 8 armor. Doom guard is very vulnurable to spells.
3) Upheaval: Drains boss hitpoints by 175 each seconds. and energy by 125 each seconds. Restores 275 hp and 25 mana. 50% chance to taunt boss. Lasts 10 seconds.

PREVIEW

 

[HungryHusky]

Great presentation and looks nice, but doesn't it look and sound a little much like impossible bosses? It almost look like some of the bosses' abilities are completely copied from that map. Even the terrain look the same.

One thing that I would like to see in a new boss fight map is new and creative boss tactics.
While the "Touhou" concept used in Impossible Bosses is cool, it's basically just a boss having shitload of abilities which needs to be "dodged". Try mixing this with new and interesting strategies.

Look at old WoW raid bosses to get some inspiration and ideas.

Mind control, crowd control, illusions, adds that need to be "off-tanked" etc. Some unique ones like Twin Emperors from AQ40 (Two bosses, one only take physical damage, one only take magical damage. Have shared health pool) etc. There are so many nice ideas out there.

 

[Develyngyr]

This is a demo version. Some ability already functional. Use "whosyourdaddy" to make sure you're alive

Please review

 

[cleavinghammer]

Having tried it, I would say that it's going to need a bit of work just to make it a testable map.

For example, a first time player is going to want to look at all the classes, see what their spells do (thanks for putting the descriptions in at the start, it's very useful). Having the timer go down isn't going to help since it leaves the player stuck at the shop.

In addition, until you are certain that every boss is bug-free you should make them selectable, the sequence can be be enforced when the map is ready.

Finally, perhaps you could put a big red *NOT YET IMPLEMENTED* on those items and spells that aren't yet in the game (for example, one of the Warlock items that supposed to cast a spell, currently it only gives stat boosts).

That said, I can see there was a lot of work put in already, keep it up.
