Curse of the Forsaken v3.0.1

[sonofjay]

I don't know if this was already been said but at Chapter 8 Part One if you destroy the lever before attacking the scourge base and going near the gate you will not be able to open it anymore. Sucks since that happened after I just finished doing that branching side quest.

Anyway, its a really nice campaign.

I think you actually missed the second lever, it's right of the door, you'll see a small path through the trees. The door should open regardless of when you destroy the levers.

Yeah, I hit the switch outside the Scourge base myself, cleared the base, and then hit the other switch and it opened up just fine.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you drop the sword in that chapter and don't pick it back up? The warns you to keep it in your inventory.

The trigger in a later chapter works in a way that it checks who has the Tempered Sword item (I think that's the last one you get) and replaces it with the actual Quel'delar, so if no one has it, no one gets the sword.

Ohhh, Jaina had it. *Looks at it*

Still, that's kind of a hilarious mental image:

Aewynn: kk, Sword's fixed but we're not giving it to you guys.

Lor'Themar: Why D:

Liadrin: Because you left it behind! We had to somehow fish it out of that destroyed mountain!

Damn, the Val'Kyr are powerful. 7 Food though. I imagine you could do a lot of cheese storing corpses in meat wagons and having the Val'Kyr rez them.

I imagine I might make some Sylvanas fans annoyed when I say this, but I found the ending to chapter 9 to be kinda hilarious in a tragironic kinda way. The only reason anyone knew about Sylvanas' plague was because she decided to try bullying the Alliance into retaking Undercity. I kinda loved the way doing that exploded epically in her face.

Honestly I'm a little short on pity for her after the blackmail she pulled on Lor'Themar.

I think your allies might be a little too hardcore in chapter 10. The scourge only got off one good attack on us, after which point the Alliance and Blood Elves both chose to counter attack. My own force wasn't even fully prepared (I had lost a lot of units helping the blood elves defend) but we still took the entire purple base no sweat.

Of course, that might be a good thing; there's so many units on the map and visibility is on the iffy side so micromanaging for me mostly has gone down to having Sylvanas silence groups that look like they may have necros or banshees in them, having the Dreadguards life drain something when low, having the Val'Kyr land when I see a garg and take off when I see a Banshee, and having my Apothecaries toss healing pots at groups that I'm hoping are my own units and not the Scourges XD.

It worked though

 

[tomoraider]

Ahahahha, that sword part made me really laugh.

And yeah, that Sylvanas fail part was actually intended. Well, not from the beginning when I worked on the campaign, but in the end all story parts seemed to fit together. :>

Crap. I think I missed it. I'll play it again later.

There is a huge problema with Interlude Journey to the Sunwell, the campaign just ends.

 

[Raxistaicho]

I noticed a minor problem with the fight with the first left-side boss in Chapter 11. If you kill her before all her minions, there's a chance the survivors will work their way down to Sylvanas during the cutscene afterward and start attacking her during it. I've actually had Sylvanas get killed mid-cutscene because of that.

There is a huge problema with Interlude Journey to the Sunwell, the campaign just ends.

That didn't happen to me.

So Tomo, what group of heroes would you have considered most optimal for the final? I would have taken Jaina even if she weren't forced; her aura's just too useful with all the spellcasting everyone will be doing, along with having a summon, AOE disabling spell AND a powerful single-target nuke. Same with Sylvanas, since she can ruined both casters and attackers and her black arrows provide useful meatshields/help.

After that I took Thrall, no questions asked. He's the only hero with a method of healing, he has a useful summon and aoe attack. His only iffy part is his ult. The last one I was kinda stuck over Varian and Vereesa. Garrosh didn't really impress me at all. His strength is AOE and the harder parts of the mission are the bosses anyways. Lor'Themar had always been iffy for me, but that might just be because I couldn't micro him properly XD Varian's an awesome tank, but I felt Vereesa's aura meshed too well with the other heroes and she's also got a useful summon.

That shouldn't happen, your WC3 might not be patched to the latest version.

Oh whoops, I'll fix that in the next update, when it happens.

And I think Vereesa and Lor'themar are the best, personally they were for me. Vereesa has awesome summoning spells and her aura is pretty cool and I think Lor'themar is good at doing damage and occasional stunning with his spells.

 

[Raxistaicho]

You get different buildings depending on who you take with you? :O How does that work? I had no idea XD If I knew that I might have taken Lor'Themar just so I could have better melee units to go with my heroes.

EDIT: In chapter 11, how do I get the inner door on the center path opened? I cleared both of the side wings and the outer door opened, but the inner door is still closed and invulnerable.

Yes, you get different units as well depending on who you take.

And uh I think that's a bug. The trigger should open the door (there isn't anything that's supposed to stop it) but unfortunately this bug seems to rarely happen with some people. I can only suggest you replay the map. :\

Guess it can't be helped.

Are these the units?

Thrall = Spirit Lodge
Vereesa = Arcane Sanctum
Varian = Human Barracks
Garrosh = Orc Barracks
Lor'Themar = Blood Elf Barracks

Finally done

Another great campaign, Tomo! I especially liked the finale, it was an interesting concept playing as a newbie undead.

Thanks! And yes, you get Shaman and Witch Doctor with Thrall (I forgot if you also get the Spirit Walker), with Vereesa you get Priest and Sorceress, with Varian Footman, Rifleman and Knight, with Garrosh Grunt, Troll Headhunter and Tauren and with Lor'themar you get Swordsman, Ranger and Blood Knight.

 

[Raxistaicho]

Any chance we'll see more of the Night Elves in SoB? I've kinda missed them after total absence in two campaigns.

 

[tomoraider]

Actually they're the playable race of SoB. I posted about it before, but I forgot to update the main thread.

Looking forward to seeing some of them again Tyrande's always been my favorite Warcraft girl.

 

[tomoraider]

She's not gonna be the main MAIN character, but she's gonna be quite important and playable a lot.

 

[kakuzu]

Also Tomoraider , we shall see the great armies of the old gods ?

 

[Raxistaicho]

She's not gonna be the main MAIN character, but she's gonna be quite important and playable a lot.

I wouldn't have expected her to be. My knowledge of Cata's story is pretty shaky, but it sounded like Malfurion was important to it. I'm good with him, too

Out of curiosity, who would you consider to be the main character of Rise of the Blood Elves? I'm guessing you intended it to be Alessandra, but I felt that Lor'Themar had "hidden protagonist" qualities about it. That said he was just kinda there for much of it and she was the focus of most of the storyline-important missions (3, 5, 7, 10, 11).

 

[tomoraider]

Who knows? Also, you keep asking huge spoiler questions often that I don't want to answer yet.

I'd say Alessandra is definitely the main character because she keeps the story going, mostly, but since she is more the anti-hero of the campaign, I would say Lor'themar is the actual hero kind of character of the campaign. Actually, I'd say he shares that role with Aewynne and Liadrin, kinda.

 

[kakuzu]

Ok , maybe you are right Tomoraider but at least , the dark horde will be there ?

 

[Raxistaicho]

In this version of the fight with Arthas, Terenas escaped and rezzed everyone because of that fight you had inside Frostmourne, right?

I actually kinda like it better this way XD It's much better that Arthas lose this way and not "Mwahahah, gonna freeze this badass paladin and make him watch me beat you guys because I'M EVUL THAT WAY oh shit how'd he escape ohcrapmysword! D:"

 

[tomoraider]

Yes. Also I never liked Tirion, it's why he isn't in the campaign, lol.

 

[kakuzu]

Yeah , maybe i asked too much . One more question , Garrosh will be playable ?

 

[tomoraider]

Yeah , maybe i asked too much . One more question , Garrosh will be playable ?

Nope.

 

[Sclammerz]

It would be better, if we will wait some news about it.

 

[Namiseru]

The campaign is incredible, I love it. But... there's a little error you made in your own lore. You have a quest in which you rescue Phaelynne in Curse of the Forsaken, meaning she joins the Forsaken during the Wrath of the Lich King... yet she appears in Rise of the Blood Elves as well, which is supposedly taking place during the Burning Crusade.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, or if you've already spoken about it (didn't bother reading ALL of the messages prior to mine)

Thanks, and it's not an error. The chronology technically goes like this: Chapters One and Two of RotBE happen, Chapters One to Four of CotF happen after which Phaelynne joins the Forsaken, Chapters Three to Eight of RotBE happen during which Phaelynne makes a cameo. Then Chapters Nine to Eleven of RotBE happen which take place few years later (The Burning Crusade) and then the rest of CotF happens a little after that (Wrath of the Lich King).

 

[Namiseru]

Alright, gotcha.

 

[felo]

Hi, i registered just to tell you what a great job u made creating this campaings.
I started playing your BElf campaing a few months back but i haven's finished it yet ;p i just got bored with the WC3 and left it. Now cause i was bored i decided to try your Forsaken campaign and damn it is brilliant. In the BElf campaign i didn't really like the story or maybe not that i didnt like it, i am just not the fan of the Belfs and thats why the story wasnt iteresting for me. I am stuck at chapter 10 now, and probably will finish it in the couple of days.

As far as the Curse of the Forsaken is concerned i can say that the story was brilliant. I dont really know the correct storyline of wotlk so i dont know how much have u changed but it is nice as it is. The funniest thing however was when Phaelyne(I am not sure how its writen) said that she will be the Lich Queen I basically couldnt stop laughing for like ten minutes until my stomach started to hurt Also i did't really get it, i mean they let her be the Lich while not being sure if she is not controlled by the Varimatras anymore, so if Varimatras indeed have a power over her than he would be able to control the Lich King and the scourge. I dont know why they wanted to risk it.

Another thing i didnt really like is the last part when u play a new forsaken. Basically all of this was to show the scene of Garosh and Sylvanas talking(or at least i think that was the point), but i think this scene could be showed in some other way. I was playing Sylvanas a whole campaign and this chapter kinda threw me out of her and made me some random looking from a side.

Anyway, there is only one thing i can grumble about and this is the space in maps. I dont remember how it was in the original campaigns, but in you campaigns sometimes the roads are so narrow that the units are freaking out and dont know which way to go, which results in going back and forth. In some missions when you have a base, there is not really enough place to build buildings beacause of some signs, graves or other things on the ground. In the very first map of this CotF(if i remmeber correctly) when you take over the first base, there is this weird road in the middle of you base, all the things around, some corpses etc. and building a base is like plaing tetris. I think in your next campaign u could make maps a little bit bigger just to make more space for roads and base building.

Anyway, your campaigns are excellent and i will gladly play them again after some time. Also looking foreward for your next campaign. How much time do you think it will take to finish it? I mean you know how much time you had to spent to create your last two campaings so maybe u can predict more or less how much it will take? half year? a year?

I have to admit that I agree with this. Just a small problem

Tomo, are you going to be making any balance changes to the Night Elves? This would be the first of your campaigns in which we get to use a "normal" race, as opposed to custom ones.

 

[Antimatter]

Finished the game. Another great campaign from you tomo.
Better make some more, lots of fans are waiting.
I think you should make a campaign referring to Burning Legion.

It will be a mix of default and custom. There will be new units as there will be more units you can train than usual.

Finished the game. Another great campaign from you tomo.

Thanks.

 

[Raxistaicho]

Out of curiosity, why did you decide to make the Night Elves the focal race of SoB?

 

[tomoraider]

Out of curiosity, why did you decide to make the Night Elves the focal race of SoB?

Because the dragon aspects are the main characters, and I felt it would be silly to have a whole faction based only on them and I could think of only so much units. So I decided to use the night elves because they got quite the big part in Mount Hyjal storyline and they already fought before in the War of the Ancients with aspects if I'm correct, so it kind of made sense to use them.

forsaken catapult model

Why do you keep posting this? I have no intention of using some kind of different catapult model.

 

[Odd Brodd]

Hi dude, such a great work here ! I truly enjoyed playing this campaign !
But PLEASE : What is the music used in " Fall of the LichKing " when we have to fight the Apothecary Phaelynne ?

Ok i just found it in your Miscellaneous credits ^^'. But i'm still waiting for your future projects, i already know they won't deceive me !

 

[Raxistaicho]

Why do you keep posting this? I have no intention of using some kind of different catapult model.

Yeah, considering you kept the Ghouls and Aboms it shows you meant to keep the "generic"-type undead. I dunno, I hope he's just trying to be helpful, but the way he keeps doing it makes me think he just thinks he knows better :x

 

[Ryuiji]

Hi Tomoraider

Congratulations this campaign is rather exceptional. Amazing work starting from the storyline all the way down to the new models and units. Really top work. I am really enjoying playing it. It keeps me both entertained and challenged as it strikes a good balance between strength of your forces and enemy forces. Really well done.

I am just a little sad that it seems I might have hit an insurmountable bug in mission Chapter 8, Part one, Echoes of the Past. I barely escaped the Lich King and after the mission completes, it goes to the victory screen, but then it takes me to the main menu as if the game ended. I noticed a new entry was created in the mission list, Interlude, Journey to the Sunwell so I thought let me force start it and hopefully I can continue with the story line. Unfortunately when I click on it, I get a black screen. I waited for 5 minutes and nothing changed so it seems I cannot move forward.

Had anyone hit this bug?

 

[tomoraider]

Thanks, glad you like it. And perhaps your Warcraft 3 might not be patched to the latest patch? It caused the same problem for other people in Rise of the Blood Elves campaign, so it might be that.

 

[Ryuiji]

Yes I think you are right. For now I have used a cheat to move to the next mission but I will look into the latest patch.

Thanks for the reply.

 

[Ryuiji]

Just finished playing and OMG the final chapter is so cool. Really enjoy playing so many heroes and destroy armies of enemies in epic battles. I love the valkyries! Congratulations again.
I just found a couple of off-moments in the plot where I thought "this doesn't make much sense" but when those are overlooked this campaign is amazing. If you are interested I can go back to the campaign and find the pieces in the story that threw me off.

[Abhuyl]

Hello there!

First of all I'd like to say that both the Rise of the Blood Elves and this Forsaken campaign are incredible. Abolutely amazing.
I'm an RTS old-timer (Warcraft 1, Age of Empires 1 and some stuff slightly older... yes i'm that old) who doesn't have the patience or time to play MMORPGs, but always wanted to know what happens on the Warcraft storyline.

The guy above cited that there are a few points on the storyline that seem to make no sense. I assumed that was because of my ignorance regarding the WoW-verse, but apparently not.
If it isn't too much of a problem, I'd suggest you added a couple more lines/scenes to cinematics telling the background story to those who, like me, never even logged on WoW or even those who have missed some details.

One example: The epilogue shows Sylvanna's and her Val'Kyr raising undead to bolster the Forsaken ranks.... and she shows her "achievement" to.... Garrosh?! I googled it and got the story straigh but as far as the campaign goes, on the final battle against the Lich King, Thrall was still the Warchief. Suddenly there's a cocky son of a Hellscream in charge? No need to enter the Cataclysm lore, just add a scene where Thrall leaves and puts Garrosh in charge "The spirits call me elsewhere." or something like that.

Another example of a loose end can be found on the Blood Elf campaign:
You retake Outland by killing the pitlord and conquering the Black Citadel once again. Some time later the Elves seem to be a society centered around sapping energy from the M'uru. Who the .... is this creature? Where did it come from? Who told them about this energy source? How/when did they capture it? Also, on the epilogue, the Ranger (Aewyne, if I'm not mistaken) says she never agreed with Rommash "regarding those things with the M'uru". Rommash doesn't even appear anywhere on the campaign. And suddenly he's the one who engineered the M'uru thing?
For such a big plot subject (the very last mission happens after the M'uru is sent to Quel'Thalas), it's mere existence without telling any of the background seems to be kinda lost in there.

I assumed my lack of knowledge in those regards was due to my null knowledge of WoW, but, maybe adding a mission for it's capture somewhere? Or even a small cutscene explaining it's background?


Keep up the amazing work. Despite the minimal flaws on the storyline your work is amazing. I'd rate it Director's Cut, had I the power.

Best regards,
Rick.

 

[tomoraider]

Thank you, glad you liked them! Yes, I agree that these parts aren't clarified at all, but I just couldn't really find a way to explain it somehow without breaking the flow of the story as I intended. I might do a way in the future, maybe even some kind of journal thingy ingame, but we shall see.

My internet died over Christmas break and I was plunged into boredom and despair with nothing but my family to entertain me. I searched my WC3 campaign folder and saw that I had downloaded this campaign a long time ago and never completed it!

It was incredibly fun and bug-free. As usual the lighting and fog effects were excellent. The caves really felt like caves. The extra map at the end which mimicked the Undead leveling zones in WoW were great as well. The recreation of one of the WoW dungeons was amazing. The imported voices really added to the excitement, and (unlike the actual WoW dungeon) it didn't take 30 minutes of killing trash mobs.

The alchemist unit was very fitting and had genuinely fun spells. They were hard to keep alive, but that's supposed to be how casters are. The alchemist Hero was also very fun. I liked that I didn't have to control 2-3 armies with different resources; I sometimes find campaigns overwhelming. There was one time when I had to control 2 armies briefly, but it wasn't too difficult; they were the same basic structure. Humorously enough, I sacrificed Sylvanus's base to save Varimathrus's...then at the mid-point of the map he turned on me, leaving me with nothing! Damn Varimathrus...he really is always on the winning side...

As I said, it was fun and basically bug-free so as far as I'm concerned you are welcome to rest on your laurels (whatever they are...), but if you'd like to improve it more here are some suggestions:

Balancing:

Thrall's windwalker totem seemed massively underpowered. It gives only a 5/10/15% move increase. I couldn't find a time to use this. You could try giving him a sentry totem...that would be very useful in the Orgrimmar level.

Sylvanus's Ultimate is fine, but giving the summoned banshee's a howl-based ability doesn't seem great. A few reasons why:
- it's redundant with the Worgen hero she is often with
- there's no need to cast it four times, so 4 banshee's with that ability is as good as 1.
- it's annoying to select them and manually cast the howl
You could make a trigger so that when they are summoned they cast it automatically...which would help with the third point. Or better yet, you could give them a more offensive ability (she is a VERY low DPS hero to begin with...none of her abilities do any real damage). Giving them a sapper-ability would be interesting too... maybe one based on the batrider's suicide ability.

The lack of blight from undead buildings makes regeneration very hard before the upgrade becomes available. Why don't the buildings generate blight?

The upgraded Banshee ethereal form is useful, but it nullifies their other upgrade: the armor reducing auto-attack. Having this tradeoff isn't so bad, but because the armor-reducing auto-attack removes their Curse ability, it creates a scenario where an upgraded Banshee in ethereal form is actually WORSE than that same Banshee un-upgraded because they will be able to cast Curse while ethereal while the upgraded Banshee will be in ethereal form and unable to attack at all. A simple fix is to make the Banshee attack upgrade not replace Curse, but just be it's own ability. I don't know if the Banshee would have too many abilities then though.

MINOR FIXES

At one point I was using a Tauren caster that had Forked Lightning and Spirit Link. Both abilities had "R" as a hotkey which prevented me from using Forked Lightning with the hotkey.

I found the ghoul upgrade that made their attacks reduce damage (or something) looked a bit ugly on the eyes. All ghouls had streaming glowing effects on their claws and it didn't feel quite right. I'd remove the special effects all together; I don't think the common ghoul needs a visual effect.

Chapter 5

During the second phase, it started to lag sporadically. Every 3-5 seconds or so it would freeze as if summoning a bunch of new units. Make sure this map is leak free, and if so you might want to spread out your unit summons. It's also possible something else was happening on my computer that was messing with the game...so if no one else noticed this perhaps you should just ignore it.

Chapter 7

The gold mine north of your base can't be mined efficiently because you can't build there.

At the end, Sylvanus was in a transport and didn't show up in the cinematic. Before an ending cinematic you might want to kill all transports.

Chapter 8b

Varian is kind of boring to play. He has no abilities with real effects. His DPS is rather low as well because of this. At one point early I had to keep re-fighting the same fiends because they would burrow and heal before I had beaten the others. A thunderclap ability would do wonders in terms of both fun and his ability to hit burrowed fiends. He also has no AOE.

Chapter 10

At one point Varian's forces stoped attacking. It was very weird...they did nothing but the undead still attacked them. They didn't even counter-attack as a normal unit would do. It was as if they were still paused (though I don't recall a cinematic being used before this happened). He did ping his current location at one point. After that he either died or disappeared and was working normally again.


As a final suggestion, some of the dialogue is oddly written. It's hard to have good dialogue in a game, of course, but some simple misspellings and grammar errors could be easily corrected. I apologize for not noting them.


All in all, it was a great joy to play! 5/5 and + rep headed your way!

 

[tomoraider]

Glad you like it, but I don't think I'll be changing anything anytime soon. Also, the point of the ethereal banshees is to make them ethereal so they can easily enter the battle and possess someone as they usually die quickly.

 

[Dark_Fuse]

I've yet to play it yet, however if it's nearly as good as ROTBE - I am happy... Do expect my review soon.
