Bosses of Warcraft [24 Player ORPG]

[Sverkerman]

Bosses of Warcraft is a team based dungeon crawler map where you can level up professions, craft and complete quests. The map concept has been in development for over 10 years with the first map being publicly released on Epicwar on the 9th of July 2009. This is the 4th time the map has been remade from scratch.

The latest installment of BoW has been in development since May 2017 and is planned to host an open beta testing in May of this year.


Many famous map creators and gaming veterans are involved such as but not limited to the lead developer for Island Troll Tribes, Quazz, who is responsible for our hostbots and who manages and develops our site where we are planning to display player statistics & achievements. The lead developer for TBR 3.0, Wareditor who helps out with testing, balancing and 2D art. Hagge5 who was involved in the previous Bosses of Warcraft map as the developer for the many vJASS and JASS systems used in the map. Cangor, Lezorad and Aikola who all were very well known in the community surrounding the previous Bosses of Warcraft map has also shown great interest in the map during its development stage and has since been assigned key roles within the lore development. Regit and S3xytime from clan IBCE (Impossible Bosses Clan Elite), members of the first European team to ever defeat demonic on normal difficulty in version V3V of Impossible Bosses are also part of the team - helping out with media, PR and giving valuable feedback on boss mechanics and balancing.

Bosses of Warcraft is set to feature epic 24 player boss fights inspired by the map Impossible Bosses made by Psyris. It features a save/load system to save your progress and professions in which you can craft items to progress further into the game and defeat harder bosses.

There are 5 classes to choose from. They are Magician, Healer, Tank, Duelist and Ranger.

Bosses of Warcraft features an equipping system very well adapted for the ORPG genre. You can craft items for your friends to help them out but we've also taken into consideration certain limits to prevent item duplication through load/save.

The equipping system is very advanced and has the following features:

• When you claim an item the item being claimed shows up on your character as if you were wearing it.
• It applies stats.
• It applies the missile the weapon uses to your character's attack.
• It applies the sound of the weapon to your character's attack (mace/sword/dagger etc.)
• It applies the abilities gained by the claimed item.
• It applies the correct animation tags if the item was a weapon.

Bosses of Warcraft balances itself depending on how many players are in each specific dungeon. Multible groups can run different dungeons at the same time. Each dungeon is balanced separately. There are three different modes for each dungeon: Normal, Mythic and Fast Run. Normal is a balanced mode with a small chance for epic and legendary loot, Mythic is a hard mode with increased drop chance for epic and legendary items, and Fast Run where you only fight the final boss of the dungeon without a chance for epic and legendary loot, great for farming common and rare items.

• Mana/HP/Attack Speed/Attack Damage/Mana Reg/HP Reg/Movement Speed
• Spell Damage (Scales with spells for the Magician class)
• Healing Power (Scales with spells for the Healer class)
• Item Level (Determines how well equipped a character is, a good way to separate new players from experienced players)
• Threat (Determines how likely enemy foes are to attack you. This is an important stat for the Tank class)
• Block (The Tank class can block attacks. Blocked attacks deals 50% damage)
• Crit Chance (Applies to all spells and attacks)
• Miss/Resist (A missed/resisted attack deals no damage)
• Damage Reudction (Reduces damage taken by this exact amount)

As expected from RPG maps, Bosses of Warcraft features a save/load system working for multiplayer mode. Data is stored in your disk and you don't have to manually input the load code in order to resume game progress.

• Mounts
• Inventory System
• Achievements
• Minigames
• Quests & Dialog System
• Fullscreen looting system
• Custom HDR setting
• Weather System
• Multiboard showing statistics
• Over 600 items
• Over 100 Custom Abilities

There are seven professions each maxing at 75 profession level in Bosses of Warcraft. There are no class restrictions to professions.

Potions are key in any battle. Brew elixirs and flasks that persist through death to enhance your stats in battle. Stack up on healing potions and mana potions to ensure your longlivity while partaking in dungeon activities.

Smith magical, enchanted weapons for you and your team, provide deadly bombs to throw at the enemy and increase your tanking ability with heavy mail armors protecting your skin and bone.

Weave fine silk clothing to enhance your healing and magical abilities.

Craft mobile leather-wear to maximize your agility in battle.

Fishing provides many of the nessesary materials required to proceed in crafting. Ever wondered what's in those potions? Ever asked why your teammate's brand new helmet smells of fish scale? Ever speculated what horrors lurk beneath those tides? Grab a fishing net and some bait - you are about to find out.

Got green hands and a lot of patience? Herblore provides resourceful flowers and trees to be used as materials for other professions. Visit the wonderful Evelina who owns the seed shop to recieve your blessing - the higher your Herblore level the better the blessing!

One of the hardest professions to level in the game also happens to be one of the most beneficial to you and your team. Craft scrolls to enhance your skill in battle and craft glyphs to permanently increase your stats and help your teammates blossom in their profession of choice by enchanting their mining picks, skinning knifes and fishing nets!

We are hosting a community for Bosses of Warcraft over at our discord group, everyone is welcome to join!

[WarcraftLiterature]

Could you hold your own in single player?

 

[nhs325]

I was wondering if you could also make a 12 - player version, too, since not all of my friends can access the 1.29 patch.. But really hope you would make this map good!

 

[Sverkerman]

@WarcraftLiterature Hey man! Are you are wondering if the map is playable in singleplayer? Yes it is.
@nhs325 Hi! Unfortunately the map is utilizing the new natives for SetMaxHP, so that wouldn't be possible I'm afraid.

 

[pick-a-chew]

Why has the map been remade 4 times? Why has its development failed so often, and what have you changed this time around to increase its chances of success?

Does your map cater more towards people play RPGs or Impossible Bosses-like maps? Unless you strike a perfect balance with your RPG elements, it will not be both, as a lot of IB players liked the fast-paced, even playing field, high tuning of balance and the emphasis placed on skill. Professions also lead to great imbalance unless they are very neutered like they are seen in WoW.

I assume that, if you have a -save/load system, power creep and "carrying" will be possible, which could diminish the game for newer players (i.e. new guy plays, gets carried, game ends, was bored/unimpressed). What does -save save exactly? Your entire class and all of its stats and items? Or just a profile or character setup?

Your custom stats, additional features and 24-player support looks promising. The way you write Threat suggests it is chance based, isn't this bad?

Regarding 24-players, will there be much graphical clutter in those circumstances? How effect-heavy are your abilities? Do you hide/edit effects locally? You'd be surprised in 2018 with how many people play Warcraft 3 on a potato... and 24 player mode will only make their plight worse. One assumes in a raid-style encounter that there will be a lot of SFX.

Does the game dynamically scale with players? (24-players means more leavers, which makes dynamic scaling even more important).

 

[Abedab]

Can't wait!

 

[Sverkerman]

@pick-a-chew Hi man! What a great comment, you've picked many good subjects to discuss. I'll do my best to answer it all, please let me know if something is unclear or if there is something I've missed

Why has the map been remade 4 times?

Bosses of Warcraft started when I was 13 years old. I'm 23 now. I've improved as a map maker during the years so remaking the map from scratch a couple of times has been a natural thing for me.

Why has its development failed so often, and what have you changed this time around to increase its chances of success?

I'm still not sure what defines success to you, but personally I just find it satisfying to share maps that I've spent time on for others to enjoy - so in that sence all of my maps have been successful However, this map has a lot of cool new features that the previous maps didn't have. I've also remade all of the terrain and systems from scratch.

Does your map cater more towards people play RPGs or Impossible Bosses-like maps? Unless you strike a perfect balance with your RPG elements, it will not be both, as a lot of IB players liked the fast-paced, even playing field, high tuning of balance and the emphasis placed on skill.

Very well noted, it is definitely important to maintain a good balance between the RPG/Progression aspect of the map and how well the map allows you to express your skills with your character as a player. I've set off time dedicated to test and balance these elements of the map. I believe that we'll get closer to the result that we want with each test.

Professions also lead to great imbalance unless they are very neutered like they are seen in WoW.

Professions that have an effect on your stats are synced with boss progression in the map. For an example, Staff of Ice can be crafted at a Blacksmithing level of 50. However, to craft this item you need a Mote of Evil that drops from the later bosses. The exact chart looks like this:

Chart

Proff item 1 (Corrupted Beast Essence) (Proff level 1-30)
Boss 1
Boss 2
Boss 3
Proff item 2 (Mote of Love) (Proff level 31-45)
Boss 4
Boss 5
Proff item 3 (Mote of Evil) (Proff level 46-60)
Boss 6
Boss 7
Proff item 4 (Token of Power) (Proff level 61-75)
Boss 8
Boss 9
Boss 10

I assume that, if you have a -save/load system, power creep and "carrying" will be possible, which could diminish the game for newer players (i.e. new guy plays, gets carried, game ends, was bored/unimpressed). What does -save save exactly? Your entire class and all of its stats and items? Or just a profile or character setup?

There are two savecodes, one for your account and one for your character. Your account holds global information such as achievement points, mounts, pets. Your character holds specific information such as items, gold, boss essence, bosses killed, pvp rating etc.
We're also trying to limit "boosting" to "helping." Just as you hinted towards earlier gear shouldn't compensate the lack of skill. The monsters inside the dungeons scale based on the amount of players at any specific time so everyone has to pull their own weight. This also battles leavers

Your custom stats, additional features and 24-player support looks promising. The way you write Threat suggests it is chance based, isn't this bad?

Threat is not chance based. You gain threat by casting spells, healing and dealing damage.
Threat on spellcast is calculated based on manacost of spells, how far away from the target your were when you casted the spell and your "threat" stat modifier.
Dealing damage and healing players generates threat based on damage dealt/healing done and how far the healed/damaged target are to additional monsters. A certain formula has also been developed for AoE type of spells.

Regarding 24-players, will there be much graphical clutter in those circumstances? How effect-heavy are your abilities? Do you hide/edit effects locally? You'd be surprised in 2018 with how many people play Warcraft 3 on a potato... and 24 player mode will only make their plight worse. One assumes in a raid-style encounter that there will be a lot of SFX.

Good point, we have taken this into consideration when creating new bosses and adding new elements to the map. We will not spam effects

Does the game dynamically scale with players? (24-players means more leavers, which makes dynamic scaling even more important).

Yes.

 

[disruptive_]

pick-a-chew post was pure gold. Lots of indirect insight about the IB genre.

I assume that, if you have a -save/load system, power creep and "carrying" will be possible, which could diminish the game for newer players (i.e. new guy plays, gets carried, game ends, was bored/unimpressed). What does -save save exactly? Your entire class and all of its stats and items? Or just a profile or character setup?

About this issue, i suggest that you can make save/load feature a mode within the game, allowing players to vote it or not (not loading means that you get the full game experience). The other approach is to restrict saveable progression to cosmetic achievements only (ie. throphy items of defeated bosses, unique attachments, or anything that recalls your good runs), but that makes progression kind of pointless (i kind of get some Monster Hunter vibes out of your map).
You could also add a durability system to equipment, so players that choose to load (especially those with maxed gear) must still crave progression.

Keep on the good work, because your map looks promising to say the least.

 

[Sverkerman]

@disruptive_ Hey

i suggest that you can make save/load feature a mode within the game, allowing players to vote it or not (not loading means that you get the full game experience)

Personally I wouldn't play an orpg if I wasn't able to load my progress. The art is to find a good balance, if you decide join us to test the beta you can judge for yourself if you think we did a good job of that.

You could also add a durability system to equipment, so players that choose to load (especially those with maxed gear) must still crave progression.

I'd much rather take it upon me to provide new bosses. PvP is also an option

Keep on the good work, because your map looks promising to say the least.

Thank you!

Any chance for a replacement for the hero model? The good old maleVillager doesn't do your map's scope any justice.

Oh, and your map looks very proming I have to say!

 

[JesusHipster]

Judging by screenshots and the video the presentation is superb. I just hope gameplay isn't too grindy.

 

[Sverkerman]

Any chance for a replacement for the hero model? The good old maleVillager doesn't do your map's scope any justice.

I agree, I have plans to let players choose their hero skin when they create a new character. I know a way in which it should be possible.

Oh, and your map looks very proming I have to say!

Thank you!

Judging by screenshots and the video the presentation is superb. I just hope gameplay isn't too grindy.

Thank you! My hopes are that players feel excited by the few grinding aspects present in the game as it enables them to progress further into the map and experience new content. If players feel that the map is too grindy I can always tune it down a notch

[nhs325]

Will we be able to save/load in Singleplayer?

 

[Sharkarsh]

whoa i see a lots of love on this project, looking forward to see the result

 

[Sverkerman]

@nhs325 Hi! Yes, BoW supports singleplayer save/load, but the code is separate from online.
@Sharkarsh Hello Glad to hear that you like it, thank you!

 

[nhs325]

Oh, I also forgot about my pet peeve in RPGs: will it have a summoner/pet type class? Like a Warlock/Necromancer type of thing?

 

[A]mun]

An impressive project!

I wonder how its first steps ingame play out. Maybe you can share a videoclip with the devs playing?

 

[Sverkerman]

@nhs325 Abilities are bound to items, when you pick up an item your character unlocks a permanent ability that you can use while you have the item equipped. You are able to make your own build with items that give you summoning spells, yes absolutely
@A]mun Thank-you! It will be very interesting to see! Regit already have a video intro done for the boss/dungeon preview and he's bugging me every day to finish up for beta so he can finish the boss video Soon!

 

[Sverkerman]

Just got back and this is what I saw first on the Map Development project.

That Beta trailer was honestly sick. That camera angle, soundtrack and timing all flowing nicely. I remember do playing or having seen the previous version of this map and I'm more than interested in how this remake will turn out with more features to have.

Best of luck with the big project!

I think you should use a more inspiring name for the tank class. Fighter maybe ? Tank is a role, not a class name. Fighter is awesome because it's in DnD.

Goes without saying that I've been looking forward to this since first announcement.

 

[Sverkerman]
