I don't like when people put the "custom hero" in thier names.
It's almost sure that it is custom heroes.

 

[SwedishChef]

I don't get that argument, it is a custom hero map thats why people add custom hero. You want the name to describe your map in a simple way isn't that right? And why not use custom hero when it is? What shall i else use?

 

[hookah]

Ur map name is perfect.

I dont like map names which say 0 about the map....

MAJOR BUG: ranged units stuck if u die and round doesnt ends.

 

[SwedishChef]

Thanks. I know, this cant be fixed on a simple way because it happens when unit get stacked and they cant finish their order (they will stop). That is why i've added the stash in item area, one for each player with the ability to make the creeps move again.

 

[hookah]

small bug:
LVL 16 nagamurguls sleep at night when they spawn.D

 

[SwedishChef]

Okey but wont they wake up when they see you?? I will fix it to next update which will take a bit longer since all small buggs have been removed in b version and i want more bugs before i update again. But thanks for telling me!

• A bit Boring
• needs custom heroes (check hivehorkshop duh!!)
• more abilitys

[SwedishChef]

Hi i remember you all comments are good but please tell me whats wrong?

hey remember me!!
lots of things wrong with ur map that needs tweaking

• Spelling (were is it misspelled?)
• Heroes (i have nerfed heroes since you tried last try the map again and check if they still are unbalance)
• Abilitys Overpowered (which abilities? i have nerfed bash, mirror image)
• A bit Boring (how can i make it more fun?)
• needs custom heroes (check hivehorkshop duh!!) (okey )
• more abilitys (will fix don't worry )
• general tweaking and balancing (please tell me if there is any specific)

should be good after that@@

Thumbs up

I tested you'r map, it's pretty good so far. My suggestions:
First thing I noticed was the ultimate skills. Mine for the game was flame strike and it was severely underpowered. It took a couple seconds to cast and only did 45dps, I was doing much more than that with my normal attacks. Maybe add some more and make them "ultimate."

Next thing I would suggest is some custom skills. This may seem a daunting request, but even changing the animations and the the text in tool-tip with just the world editor would make the game more interesting. Of course, if you can use jass to make some nice custom skill it would rock

I had trouble with the flyers for some reason, i think maybe they had evasion. I may have been ok with another skill selection but I noticed the others in game had the same problem. You might rebalance their evasion % or take it off altogether. Since they were flying I could not even use my Ult on them, of course I didn't want to in my case

Maybe a bit of interesting terrain would make the map more appealing as well. This is not one of my worries but your appealing to the masses and they like pretty things, but don't go overboard.

Another thing to make the arena more interesting would be some triggers that the heroes could make use of. Like a block we could step on to trigger a trap that an unwary opponent might be fighting on top of.

Good luck! I'll be sharing your map with my friend to get their feedback.

I will fix it

Nope no evasion, might be that i made them harder some have poison some have much dmg or attackspeed.

WOW, this is some good stuff!! Please give me more suggestion. Hmm shall i maby name if fun mode and you choose in start of game if you want it?

And thanks for sharing map!! I will make a big update now I'm working on it, i will see what your friends say (maby one arena fun mode) and others and then i will fix all then upload it.

 

[Screaming_flame]

I don't like The Map's name, it Reminds of Multiple Maps Of Custom Hero Arena, Which Has Multiple Versions.

Hmm, ok can you please give me some names that would fit?

 

[Krzysztif]

• Spelling
• needs custom heroes (check hivehorkshop duh!!)
• more abilitys

I just think it's funny he complained about spelling and then misspelled hiveworkshop. and abilities.
Especially since this forum has a spellcheck.

 

[googlyeyedwonder]

haha ok so i misspelled hiveworkshop i was in a rush right...
you saw that your spellings were without spaces, all grouped together and the names did not fit into the actual creatures spawning solve that pls
MIRRORS image was overbalanced remember i could win easily with that samuri
you may want to have mini games at some parts of the game to liven things up, look at skibis castle for inspiration, general balncing, auto moving creeps, when players leave make the lane stop spawning (remember that!!) improve all that and it will make it SOOO much better thnxs

 

[SwedishChef]

okey. A new version comes out soon were i have balanced more (both heroes and abilities) you can choose to have fun-modes in the arena. Fun modes which im working with: Mine Field (Mines pop ut on the arena when they blow you are blow into the air and get dmg in %) i have a fire pit and a chaos mode. I have made some more abilities (some custom) and more will come.

Terrain is bad needs more work 3/5

 

[SwedishChef]

sure thing, the terrain was a last minute thing i did before uploading, so to next version you will see a much more worked and beautiful terrain. Any requests or suggestions?

 

[KYTON]

Add a mini-map preview PLEASE.....it will greatly improve your downloads...I'll dl it and give you a good review soon...made a custom hero map some time ago...

That would be great, but it don't knw what you mean with adding a mini-map preview. Isn't it already a minimap preview? Or were shall i add it?

 

[KYTON]

Import an picture with Tga fromat with your import mangier and change its path to war3mappreview.tga note that the file MUST be 256*256 pixels and must use 32 bit tga compression or something (its size must be 256kb)

There is a map preview is your terrain shot that is displayed when you select the map. This overwrites that with a picture. Most people will ignore maps that don't have a map preview. If you want give me a pick you want as a preview and I'll make it into a map preview....

 

[SwedishChef]

ah sorry thought you meant that i should have map preview with a minimap. Will see if i find any good picture.

 

[ChenH]

I downloaded your latest version (v 1.03) and it didn't let me or anybody else in the game choose their hero. Double clicking on any hero didn't work.

 

[SwedishChef]

Terrain is bad needs more work 3/5

any suggestions on how to improve it?? And how do you want it??

 

[spiderpig]

I downloaded your latest version (v 1.03) and it didn't let me or anybody else in the game choose their hero. Double clicking on any hero didn't work.

You need player 1 (red) to setup game before you can select the heroes.
Player 1 (red) should have two different screens appear first to select teams and mode type.

yepp you need one player 1 to choose all the options. You can't play solo on this version because you no one against you in the arena.

Im working on 1.04 there i have added: 25 new levels, cool terrain, lots of bug fixes and balancing

Anything more you want in the new version?? A new fun mode etc.

Epic Failure Glitch....

Ok Every version time i host 1.03 Version (Which is only one out i beleive)

When FIRST Arena comes, it works fine, but then once everyone dies and one person is left, it doesn't end, i call this glitch the "Duel Bug"

Anyway, it prevents players from moving onto the next Race Waves... thus enforcing a RM, or just giving up.

Can you please fix this, or at least add a -debug command which fixes it... Because this game is quite fun and it has great potential, but this glitch is withholding it imo.

- SuperCoke

 

[SwedishChef]

okey, thanks for reporting =) im working on the next version which will have lots of improvements, hopefully i will find problem with this bug. The beta is being tested by some people and might be able for dowloading in 1-2 weeks.

 

[Karaterat]

im not sure if ppl mentioned this, but a bug i noticed in the arena ruined the whole game. THeres was 4 people fightin in the arena, one of us won, and it wouldnt tele him back to the shops, and it wouldnt revive us.

 

[SwedishChef]

hm, yes i have heard about this bug. I think i have fixed it but i need beta testers so that i can be sure, anyone want to be a beta tester??

 

[Karaterat]

i wouldnt mind beta testing, i luv the map

 

[SwedishChef]

okey great, i 'luv' hearing thoose comments more please =). Which server do you play on and which nickname?? Got any email were i can contact you when it's time for testing?

Ehm I got a sudden kick some time ago so im making totaly new ultimates and other spells, custom made. I will finish them before next beta map, so do anyone have any ideas for abilities??

E: i got email about a reply which read 'i wouldnt mind beta testing, i luv the map' but it isnt showing now :/. Well well i will look later.

 

[Karaterat]

I play on U.S East (Azeroth) and my username is Im_jesus (dont ask). my email is [email protected]

 

[SwedishChef]

okey my name is swedishchef now and i play on northrend :/. If you want you can play on northrend when we test else i will just mail you the beta maps.

 

[Karaterat]

ya if u could give me the beta test my maps i could host it and play it with my pals, if thats alright?

 

[SwedishChef]

yeah would have been perfect . Just remember to mail a report about issues, bugs and further improvements. I want to fix some spells before i release next beta for testing but i can mail you a three day old version if that is okey.

 

[Karaterat]

Yip! thats fine

 

[SwedishChef]

Let me work today also before i send it and you will have 5 new ultimates.

 

[SwedishChef]

Have you gotten the mail yet??

 

[Karaterat]

yes and sorry about not givin you any feedback, i forgot to tell u im at my moms and im not able to host, luckily today im goin to my dads, and ill be stayin there until sunday so ill be able to host it

 

[SwedishChef]

Ah, okey I haven't gotten any answers from anyone I sent them to so I got a bit worried . Now I have started to remake all the items, so they wont be based on orbs anymore. Do you have any suggestions for new items or ultimates.

 

[Karaterat]

maybe u should make a barrage type passive spell for a ultimate, and each lvl increases the targets it can attack? might be OP but meh

 

[SwedishChef]

I also thought about that but then i realised giving 1 extra target is like giving the unit 200% damage all the time. But i got another idea maby make a passive were it is a % chance that it will attack more units??

Btw, i have remade all items now also. New items are epic.

 

[Karaterat]

hmmm your idea seems pretty cool, im not sure how you will do it. And im goin to my dads tomorrow to test, sorry i thought it was wednesday..i should be able to give some feedback maybe friday night, or sometime saturday

 

[SwedishChef]

no problem take your time, i take my time on the items . As i said they are epic.

 

[Karaterat]

hey i got your map, and im gonna host it right after this post cant wait!

EDIT: Ummm wtf? i just hosted, and immeditly full house... so i was all happy , but. EVERYONE dled and left? there may be something wrong with your map, or ppl just dont like me

 

[ShaDowPoWeR]

There are no triggered skills...
A lot of people die because you can steal chances in duel.

Great post since i have already fixed all in the soon coming new version =). You now loose/win 5 lives and i have also added 8 new abilities where 6 is triggered .

E: Do you have any idea for an ability btw?? I can add them on now.

 

[SwedishChef]
