Curse of the Forsaken v3.0.1

[RanCatu1020]

Am I just stupid? or the Movies folder is really gone?

 

[ZodiackTV]

Am I just stupid? or the Movies folder is really gone?

Yes it is. Tomo is working on it.

 

[RanCatu1020]

Yes it is. Tomo is working on it.

Whew . I really thought I'm just blind or something.

 

[99Spaghetti]

I'm sorry to said it but want to test this campaine but i don't have a Warcraft III/Movies folder.
Do someone can help me in this case?

The movies folder doesn't exist since patch 1.30, unfortunately, so the cinematics are unusable.

 

[Wooden PC]

I found a minor bug in chapter 3. Rhonin drop his items before I even get the optional quest.

 

[deathday]

This should be called the fall of lich king

 

[Maverick_Hunter]

My Warcraft III is 1.30 so i can't watch CGI Cinematics
?

 

[Pythonheir]

So none of the characters have voices. I don't know if they should, but the game seems to imply they should as talking seems to happen between Ronin and Sylvannas, but their voice recordings don't play? Again between Varimathras and his brother, but again no sound of their voices, so I don't know what was said?

I think you need to turn on subtitles in the game's options.

Ah I see, excellent story! Thanks xD

Hello there, I wanted to play again this map after quite a bit of time, but I noticed it got quite complicated due to all those wc3 patches.
I have 2 different wc3, one being 1.28.5 and the other being the latest version available on bnet. I kind of need both so I'm really not up to get a third warcraft with version 1.29, so here is my question ; What should I do to play the map to the fullest ?

Should I play the 1.29 version of this map on current patch even if I lose CGI cinematics ? Or if I play on the 1.28.5 version, which version of this campain should I use to play ? Basically what bug/what will be missing in both case.
It would really help me if you could tell, thanks in advance.

If you play on patch 1.30, you can't use CGI cinematics and there are also issues with sounds not playing properly.
I think you could play the version of my campaign meant for patch 1.27 on 1.28.5 with no issues. The version meant for patch 1.29 will not work because it uses the new team colors introduced in that patch.

The Shores of Northerend chapter was very, VERY broken.

If you simply let Lor'Themar come over and take the Tiny Dark Keep instead, you could basically have 3 full bases, especially if you chose to rush the closed undead base and the Valkyr early.

Also, Lor'Themar's Boneyard had Valkyrs unlocked for that mission.

Also, if you let one or two undead buildings stand, despite having a full fletched base, the enemy AI would never attack you.

I swept that mission on hard mode within 30 minutes, mass bloodbats are OP, especially with controlling 2 player slots!


Mission could be made a little harder (especially for hard mode), and solution to the Lor'themar Tiny Dark Keep situation, maybe dont let Lor'themar have transport ships until sylvanas has set up base?

Yeah, I agree with you. That mission will receive a few changes in an update in the future.

Hello, I'm a Brazilian fan of your campaigns. I wonder if you plan to one day create a campaign of some other expansion that come after Wrath Of The Lich King. By the way, congratulations to the update of the campaign, she was angry.

 

[Sapprine]

Yeah, I actually encountered a lot of bugs and the 'item carrying over' sequence was far from perfect.

The thing I was MOST triggered with was the Azjol'Nerub mission...
- Map layout was very chaotic, didnt make any sence having to destroy debris with every single pathway
- Varian was able to walk straight through the frost traps, losing roughly 60% of his health and trigger the Anub'Arak fight sequence
- Once Anub'Arak died, you only get about less than 2 seconds to pick up the item he drops
- Battle was a little too easy, to my taste, especially since I was playing on hard mode.

Edit: Also, PLEASE give Sylvanas some sort of spell immumity or dispell sequence when she goes into banshee form. Having her stunned half the time, or slowed by frost kind of ruins it for me...

Having a dispell sequence is like the same thing as Blademaster casting Mirror Image.

Yeah, Azjol-Nerub is pretty broken, it'll be fixed sometime soon in an update. And that's a good idea for the banshee form, I'll consider that.

What issues did you encounter with items carrying over? I don't think I ever encountered any.

 

[Desmak]

Hi, the campaign is interesting, but make the chapters follow the plot. 6 hot cold 7 azjol Nerub, 8 frozen hearts, 9 time of the forsaken, 10 fight monsters to change (remove) if possible to make sewage in the battle for the Undercity and put Putressa there, so that Rinn with Jaina would kill him. Thus, Chapter 10 of the Battle of the Undercity, and in Chapter 12, correct the sequence of bosses to add portals. I do not know whether someone wrote the thread or not about it. Thanks for the 8/10 campaign. With the release of reforged, will the campaign be rescheduled?
It would also be nice to add a chapter to the battle with yogg saron, after 10 chapters, let's say. Or if you take my suggestion into account, it is between chapter 11-12. In extreme cases, divide the campaign into 2 parts. Part 1 is the name of the Curse of the Forsaken and the mission of the battle with Ktun, the final is to make the 5th mission of this version of the campaign. 2 part Military campaign in Northrend or Wrath of the Lich King. and a couple of missions to allocate under Uldir / Yogg-Sarona, before the 12th chapter (final)

Spoiler: My vision of this campaign is for example:

Curse of the Forsaken
prologue / intro
1-4. initial missions of Curse of the Forsaken
interlude alliance with Thrall/interlude on Onyxia exposing
5. onyxia lair, for example, fight against ogres, destroy their base, teleport into the lair, kill onyxia
6. Depths the black mountain / siege of the black wing lair, like 5 current 2 camps of the orcs of Dal'rend and Maim, defeat Nefarian (peak) and Ragnaros (depth)
the interlude of the opening of the Gate of An'Kiraj
7. An'Kiraj destroying K'Tun’s camps, teleporting, beat a couple of bosses, and killing K'Tun.
8. The invasion / attack of Kel'Thuzad on the Undercity, the map of Battle the for Undercity only instead of a siege defense of the city.
9. help Lor'Themar take a mission from Rise of the Blood Elves,
interlude BE with the horde/interlude cleansing the solar well
10. 5 mission Curse of the Forsaken with edits, preparation for Wrath of the Lich King
Final.
It is natural to do so that the Forsaken participate primarily or associate these events with them.
Part 2 of Wrath of the Lich King:
prologue / intro / video of Wrath of the Lich King
1. hot cold
2. azjol Nerub
3. frozen hearts
4. time of the forsaken
5. fight monsters instead of killing Putress chasing him but he escapes to the suburban
interlude betrayal of Varimatras and Putress / asking for help to Thrall
6. Battle for the Undercity 1 the stage is all the same as now in mission 6 of Curse of the Forsaken, part 2 Rinn and Jain go down the drain kill Putress (or 6.1 for the horde and 6.2 for the alliance)
Interlude of the Mysteries of Ulduar
7. Go to Ulduar if you have enough patience to do as Icecrown Citadel
8. The siege of Icecrown Citadel, move all of the fight monsters to the siege itself by remaking the map without killing Putress
9. VANGUARD'S CALL, checking for a fight with the king lich, thereby removing the Valkir from the 12th mission, a couple of three bosses after the video, then the earth collapses, the battle with Anub'Arak
10. 12 mission from Curse of the Forsaken corrected with the addition of 2 abominations of mini bosses and a boss doctor.
Then everything ends 3.0.
You can also do one mission to do the Battle for the Chapel of the Last Hope, thereby introducing Tirion Fordring, but then you will have to redo the final battle with Arthas, and then you do not need the call of Vanguard
About Interludes / videos forgot to put on the chronology =) it’s a pity, I don’t know how to use an editor, so I’d have tried to put this idea into practice. in this way, you can better uncover heroes, add new heroes.

Hey, I'm glad you liked the campaign, but the point of this campaign was never to directly adapt Wrath of the Lich King. I wanted to create a story about Sylvanas and the Forsaken and the WotLK storyline was the perfect medium through which to tell that story, and it was just the logical continuation of their story. In a sense then, this campaign is a reimaigining, it takes only important parts of the WotLK story that are important for the Forsaken, and since this is in Warcraft 3, it required me to change stuff simply because an RTS functions differently than a MMORPG. Plus I just felt like I wanted to change some stuff to add a little bit of my own touch. It would be fun to tell the story of Ulduar and Yogg-Saron and all that, but it has no place in this campaign. Ultimately it would just be irrelevant to rest of the campaign.

You have tried so well on this campaign, thank you for it. I hope to take it to Warcraft 3 Reforged, it would be great to play this campaign and RotBE there. Correct the problem with the condition on the valkyras in chapter 12 before and after their murder, if the obelisk remains unchanged.

 

[OutsiderXE]

Hey, I'm glad you liked the campaign, but the point of this campaign was never to directly adapt Wrath of the Lich King...

Even if it's not the same, as someone who has adapted a few books into campaigns I can relate. I try to be as faithful as possible, but in the end a WC3 campaign is a WC3 campaign and a book (or WoW) is a book (or WoW), and you have to make sure it feels good as a WC3 campaign first and foremost, so if something doesn't work, you leave it out, change it or add your own flavor.

Definitely. I would love to tell all parts of the WotLK storyline, but most of it is just not related to the story of the Forsaken I wanted to tell, and like you said, it's gotta feel good as a campaign, which means stripping down and changing a lot of stuff. Plus I do think it's much more rewarding to add your own touch to these campaigns, even if they're not really our stories, rather than just creating a word-by-word adaptation.

Surely, that was even the case of:
Prometheus Bound - Wikipedia
and
Goethe's Faust - Wikipedia
and many others.

Were the sound related issues fixed with 1.30.2?

 

[tomoraider]

Were the sound related issues fixed with 1.30.2?

It appears so, I am working on the update to the campaign right now, with some tweaking the sounds appear all to be working correctly. Hopefully the update should be out soon! Right now I have finished fixing/updating eight out of twelve chapters, once I'm done, I also plan to test the campaign once more.

 

[Desmak]

Maybe not quite on the topic, but still on the patch 1.30.2 while playing the classic campaign I came across a double sound of units, and sometimes cyclical for a minute. Therefore, I think this is a mistake of the patch itself, and not Curse of the Forsaken, although I also saw a double sound in units / dialogs.

Where exactly did you encounter this?

 

[Desmak]

Where exactly did you encounter this?

Specifically in Curse of the Forsaken, the 12th mission when using shadowmourne is a double / loop of sound for about 1-2 minutes, and during the battle with the King Lich when there is a dialogue double phrases. But according to the tests, it was only on patch 1.30.2, 1.28-29 that I did not observe double sounds. And once per maps, for example, the archer repeats his phrase 10 times, and while this cycle continues, other phrases are heard

 

[Frost90]

Some bugs found(patch 1.30.1):

- On the last mission, when they reach the Lich King the first chat dialogues were fast forwarded, like 10 dialogues in 2 seconds and this happened in another earlier mission as well (I think 5 or 6, forgot to write it down). This happens after they defeat the lich king too, some of the dialogue speeds are messed up.
- Also in the last mission I think some of the voice dialogues were not playing some times, I could only see the portrait of the speaker babbling his mouth.
- Last mission, when I conquer the green base from the right of the map, they workers appear and build an aviary, a moonwell and workshop iirc but the ownership is not transfered to me so I can't train units.
- The 9 valkyr dialogues with sylvanas have some speed issues as well.

 

[Frost90]

Spoiler: Spoiler

Btw I liked the secrets of the campaign, only found 2 don't know how many there were, but that health pack sure came in handy.


Oh, what was the deal with that item revealing Jaina as a dreadlord? It was never explained. Anyone?

That's an issue with patch 1.30 with sound files not playing, it's been fixed since in 1.30.2.

Dreadlord Jaina is a glorious meme that Blizzard killed by adding a Dreadlord Jaina skin for Jaina in Heroes of the Storm!

 

[Darth_Djoba]

I managed to kill the Lich King and escape on the first mission that he appears. I'm playing on normal difficulty.
Maybe he should have a far better armor or health regeneration. Maybe just double his health bar.
(I just spammed every skill with every character i had, used every item i was carrying and micro my units so they don't die quickly. Was not hard, did it on the first try).

 

[WildWolf]

I had to create an account just to comment this campaign. I couldn't be more (good) surprised. The only issue i found was on chapter 9, when i hit the lever the door did not open, had to "allyourbaseare...." to finish the mission. Regardless, you my friend, are an artist! I really hope from the bottom of my heart you keep doing more campaigns like this (maybe what happened after or missions allowing us to control the alliance or the horde against new threats?). Getting ready to play it again (and Rise of the Blood Elves) when Reforged is out. I wonder what you will be capable of with all new possibilities Reforged will bring with it. My best of thanks! Congratulations for your beautiful work!

Did you hit both levers? There are 2 of them

 

[WildWolf]

Didn't find it. I'll play the mission again and search for the second one. I only found the one right next to the left corner of the main base. Thanks.

In Chapter Nine you mean? To be fair I never tried to kill him there cause he always almost instantly killed Jaina so I'd just get out of there. I could increase his stats, just in case.

Thank you so much, that means a lot! And yeah, there are two levers, there is one to the right of the door kinda "hidden" in the trees.

 

[Armer]

I only have one issue the latest patch 1.30 wouldn't play the CGI for me I've tried every fix I could researched of and nothing worked please help and I've also created my own movies folder still, it didn't work

 

[tomoraider]

Curse of the Forsaken v3.0.1

I've updated the campaign to version 3.0.1. This version requires TFT patch 1.30.2 to work properly.

Highlight of the patch: Varian's screams are no longer heard map-wide.

I've also uploaded some new videos on my youtube channel showcasing some parts of the campaign. They have been added to the campaign's description. This is it for Curse of the Forsaken for now, I'll just be doing tuning and fixing in the future if necessary. Next I plan to do an update for Rise of the Blood Elves to bring it in line with CotF v3.0.

Here's the full changelog:

OVERALL CHANGES

- All maps now have new loading screen art.
- CGI cinematics have been removed, they are replaced by their ingame counterparts. (CGI cinematics didn't seem to work for a lot of people before, and patch 1.30 broke them completely for me. Ingame cinematics, however, work for everyone. I will re-add CGI cinematics in the future if I figure out a way to make them work.)
- Most maps have received balance updates to normal and hard difficulty. Normal should overall be easier while hard should be harder. (Normal and hard were very close in difficulty in v3.0. Normal should no longer feel like you're playing on hard, but some maps will remain challenging as they were intended to be. Hard should now feel harder than normal.)
- Friendly AI Heroes will no longer drop items.
- Aimed Shot, Arcane Barrage, Blood Plague, Blood Plague Corpse Explosion, Consecration, Divine Storm, Divine Purpose, Enraged Regeneration, Frostbolt, Piercing Shot, Revive, Ring of Frost, Sniper Aim, Taunt, Unholy Protection and War Banner sound effects can no longer be heard globally. (Varian's mapwide AAAAAaaaaaGgggHHHHHH is gone, rejoice!)
- Lots of minor changes, such as fixing typos, changing tooltips, bug fixes, etc.

UNIT AND HERO CHANGES

- Dark Ranger - Black Arrows and Poison Arrows now also increase Dark Rangers' attack range by 75. Dark Rangers can now have a maximum of 650 Attack Range. (From 500) (Dark Rangers become too frail in later chapters, this change gives them some additional survivability.)
- Dreadguard – Now has 500 Hit Points (From 600). Siphon Life now converts 35% of damage done back to life. (from 50%) (Dreadguards are too durable with all their upgrades, these changes will make them less so.)
- Banshee – Using Possession on worker units now once again allows you to construct their buildings.
- Meat Wagon - Forsaken Plague no longer deals friendly fire. Also changes Meat Wagons' missile to a cloudy green projectile. (Forsaken Plague is a fun ability, but was not worth using due to its friendly fire.)
- Abomination – Outbreak now allows Abominations to afflict a target enemy unit with a deadly plague that festers inside the target, dealing 5 damage per second for 30 seconds. If the afflicted unit dies while under the effect of Outbreak, four Maggots will spawn from its corpse. Also stores maggots inside the Abomination's body that crawl out to fight after its death. Now unlocks in Chapter Ten.
- Royal Laboratory – New upgrade available: Fortified Defenses (50 gold/250 lumber, requires Dark Castle), which upgrades Guard Towers, Coil Towers and Virulent Towers so that they have fortified armor. Unlocked in Chapter Ten.
- Vampire Bats, Black Spiders and Maggots are now classified as undead. (This change is so these units can also be healed by Putress' Elixir of Death.)
- Vrykul units and buildings have new icons.
- Unholy Aura now once again affects mechanical units.
- Gan'arg Engineer's selection circle should no longer fly above his head.
- Dreadlord Jaina has a new model.

CHAPTER ONE – A Necessary Intervention

- The Scarlet Crusade Keep from the first base now drops a Tiny Shadowhall.
- Main Scarlet Crusade AI will now attack when trees fall down.

CHAPTER THREE - Disdain

- An additional gold mine has been added to the south of Sylvanas' base.

CHAPTER FIVE – A Rallying Point

- Garrosh and his forces now use the maroon team color.
- An additional shallow water way across the river in Orgrimmar has been added to reduce units from getting stuck on the bridge.

CHAPTER SEVEN – Into the Frozen Heart of Northrend

"Tiny Shadowhall, Tiny Crypt and Tiny Graveyard are now dropped by the buildings in the first Scourge base."

This still doesnt fix the problem with Lor'themar being able to pick up the undead buildings items and build them...
So, there's still the problem of doubling up on undead bases...

Edit: In fact, giving him a 2nd goldmine and a shipyard makes things only worse.

Also, I didnt like the Rallying point mission... Orgrimmar looked really unrecognisable and wasnt even that good of a layout, gameplay-wise. It was too tall and too narrow, a more circular layout and shared elements from WoW Orgrimmar would be better both for looks and playabillity.

Honestly, I do not consider that an issue. If you wanna build double undead bases with Lor'themar, go ahead. It's not the intended way to play the map, but neither is possessing an enemy worker and building their stuff. It's just a fun thing you can do, it's not something I really want to prevent the player from doing. I used to prevent the possession thing, but in the end, it doesn't really hurt anyone, just gives the player the chance to do something different.

As for the Orgrimmar map, I personally like it a lot. Maybe it is too tall, but at this point I doubt I'll be changing anything.

Hahaha now this message also made my day, thank you, glad you liked it! Not a kid, but I hardly feel like an adult...

And yeah, CotF is done for now. I feel like I've accomplished what I wanted with this campaign with v3.0, but who knows how I'll feel in three years? But for now, it's done.

A normal person: Oh great, it may receive another update.
Me: "marks the calendar for 2022"

I wonder what future me will think v4.0 could need?

Ooh, I missed that! I might fix it, buuuut it's a really minor thing, I'm kinda hesitant to upload 280mb all over again for that... we'll wait and see if anything more important comes up, hah. Thanks for reporting it, though!

There is another bug in Chapter 12.Check the image below and you'll see.

I could defeat Kel'Thuzad as well as the Lich King without the help of Alexstrasza.

I'm at Chapter 9 and found a bug with the vrykul AI in chapter 7, at some moment they stopped attacking and didn't know what was, later I saw them stucked in a Scourge Spire, they intended to attack the Forsaken, Orange AI worked very good, just found it a little weird the issue with the vrykul, don't know if that was on purpose.
