Hello everyone,
I am making a campaign that has a completely new lore universe and the name of the campaign is "Guardians of Xar'aysia : The fall of an Empire" U can find the story of my campaign at the Story boarding forum under the artist's discussion category, I need to know what you all want to see in my campaign,

Currently I want some good Item Ideas. here some things that an Item's idea must have:-

Name of the Item :

Category :(common, uncommon, rare, artifact, mythical, legendary, immortal, divine)

Story of the Item: (Optional)

Function of the Item (what it does) : ex- bash, +3 str


All the helpers will get +rep and their name in the campaign's credit list.

I also want to know what kind of heroes, terrain, spells etc u want to see in the campaign. So u can give me some suggestions on those too. However my heroes list is complete but I can add some optional heroes If anyone wants. So for the Idea of the Hero here are some key points :-

1. Name of the Hero

3.Primary attribute (str, agi, int )
4.base element/type (example: fire, water, earth, thunder, arcane, spirit, dark, paladin, ice, others etc.)

I can tell you some basic things that I really appreciate in Campaigns.

For terrain, create really different locations, not town, town, field, town, but Fairy Forest, Deep Mine or Burning Lands. Be creative and try to create places that are unique.

About Heroes, create different Heroes, of course. Give them different roles, like Damage Dealer, Caster, Healer and Tank and combinations of these. Also important, and also appreciated by many players, give them story, background and a personality.

Spells are a bit difficult. Of course, create spells that are well-looking, well-designed and unique. Often it is also wise to create spells that have more than one effects and are influenced by local circumstances or unit-types.
I myself don't want to see simple spells, like Fireball or such.

Thanks and I am on it

It's another one of 'those' threads..

Here is my list of heroes that I brain stormed a while ago.

I've not bothered to do one for items, maybe I should've done that too.

 

[Deleted member 242951]

Thanks A lot

I agree with the first sentiment. Don't go too much into background though; reading long stories about a hero we don't care about yet is not fun. Their backgrounds should be revealed slowly in brief windows. It's even better if you learn their backgrounds from other characters...e.g. "Her husband was tortured by the Druhks for weeks. He's alive still, but what they shared isn't here anymore."

Regarding the spells, I think I have different tastes. More than one effect can be good, but simple spells are good too. Stormbolt is one of my favorite spells in WC3...it's really fun even though it's simple (though it does have 2 effects: damage and stun). I find some complicated spells annoying, particularly those that have random effects (e.g. 25% chance of healing you to full...25% chance of killing a random nearby enemy...) Random effects cannot be meaningfully used strategically, and it decreases your control over your own units. Maybe it would be best to have a mix of complex and simple spells.

 

[Deleted member 242951]

Yeah, I like that...

 

[Ardenian]

Maybe it would be best to have a mix of complex and simple spells.

I tried to express that I would like to see not only simple spells like Stormbolt or Fireball, but also advanced, custom spells from Hive and such.

Of course, there should be also some simple spells like your mentioned Stormbolt, but in my opinion creators should also add advanced spells.

 

[kakuzu]

Eye of Kraken - rare ; increese hero vision
Medusa Head - rare ; when it is used , the item create a wave who temporari paralise enemy units .
Neptun Sceptre - rare ; it give the hero ability to walk throw water .
Anubis bracelet - rare ; the hero can use it to use an enemy unit to reborn .
Thor Hammer -rare ; it give the hero a good chance to stunt enemy units .

[blancfaye7]

Stone: Common: Charged
A Stone you picked up can be used as a ranged attack!
Gives: Hurl Boulder ability with only a mini stun.

Bomb: Common: Charged

Gives: Small AoE damage with knockback from the point of target.

Hook: Common: Permanent
Gives: Ability to cast Hook which drags enemies and friends to the caster. The hook must be aimed.

That's all I can think of. Give love to common items!

 

[Molaf]

basically my way of creating items is :

check all the existing spells in units/heroes and create according items according to it.
by example the crypt lord damage return and armor ability can be modified in many ways to create very cool items. same for the hard skin ability of the mountain giants if you wich to create cool tanky items.

also you have to create items using your heros stats (agility intelligence strenght mana hp)

and my advice is. create many many common and basic items.

(btw I really like your artifact idea.)

 

[blancfaye7]

and my advice is. create many many common and basic items.

This. Common items must be a lot, but thinking of it as well is hard. I suggest the people here to also make more common items to our friend in need.

@Molaf , Thanks that is the.guide that I will keep in mind while creating Item

 

[Daffa]

Yeah, literally, be careful when making the eye item, if the flame blaze is too damaging, it's too ridiculously overpowered quickly with it's free aiming. Also, Flame Blaze is intended for wide radius and low-medium damage, if I take it the same from it's reference.
