VGsatomi: Wow, I've never seen so many diverse multiboard options before. Very inclusive RPG that has just as many features as most console RPGs. Quite simply some amazing work. Camera movement can be a hassle, as seen in every other map with a 3rd person PoV, especially when moving over uneven terrain. Very difficult to play solo. The terrain looked quite beautiful, to say the least. Environmental effects were splendid. Perfect implementation of imported models. Group quests made multiplay perfect and fun. File size suits bnet play very well. Overall you have to search very hard to find any significant faults with this map. Top notch work.

I don't understand how to begin the game, such as making a character.

New Post: Now I understand, by using the Arrow Keys, you can select your characters. It would be great if it told us that in the beginning of the game or game intro.

 

[Arkan.]

Thanks for the kind review/approval VGsatomi!

XenoSword]cn[ glad you figured it out, I'll make it more clear for the next version.

 

[Werhampfter]

Yeah cool map!
I like it... awesome multiboard and the whole system is cool!
Good work dude!!!

I'm fishing the whole day *G*.

 

[Rommstein]

Nice man, 5/5, awesome !

What I really love about this, is the Combat System. It's almost like Final Fantasy 13 Combat system, you have to wait for the White Bar to finish to attack with full strength again.

 

[onisaiyan808]

Arkan., you are an ORPG genius. The combat system is great although when I was on B.Net playing the map, al lot of people complain about the combat system. The fishing really takes a while like real life. I've been waiting for this map to come out for a long time and it's more than what I've expected, good sir.
Infinity/5

 

[moosenoir]

I would like to know if there is any kind of PvP in this map? btw,
best GAME ever, im gonna play this as my main game.
Thanks for it Arkan!

I almost @#$)*$*@#$(*#)*(!!!0349 when i found out this was an ORPG (let ur imagination run wild). Can't wait wait to try this "Top Notch" 5/5'd ORPG. *Reserved for rating*


Ok. I played seriously 5 mins. U know why? Stupid friend chose the wrong class and wanted a RM! BUT OH MY GOD! One of the best maps that include a touch of everything i was looking for. I like the cams and scenery, reminds me of Legacies (which is the only thing i liked about that game). I like the attack system, the char models. Only thing i am going to look for when i play again are custom wep models, which i think i saw for the starting chars but i'm not sure for new weps. 5/5 regardless, great job. Expect more from me

Meeting Hall::::: Feel free to come to Clan RPG @USWest if you're looking for a game. Today we had a full house priv game of this map with just clannies. Would love to do this more often since pubs can be a bother, i am Duke-zip @Lordaeron

 

[hunter6]

it rocks

 

[nickba]

Its a nice RPG,but you must do something about the camera.Sometimes I can not see my char because of the trees.Good Work.

 

[LusciousK]

This is a really good map, and I must say the few complaints here are irrelevant. Just because it isn't blaring across the screen in front of you just take the time to read go play around with settings click things it's not really hard.

 

[duke-zip]

i have been playing most of today, all i can say is great job. The only thing this really needs is a better instruction system. F9 doesn't have near enough for everything out there, and the tips don't help too much. It is really hard for a new player to learn how to start and such. Some people accidentally choose a class, so I think u should either make the picking instructions more clear or an Accept/Decline request before u spawn. But great job. Spells are lovely, boss battles are phenominal. One of the best maps to date, please keep it up

Edit: To add to this, interface is beautiful, a great attack system without bugs, and Werhamp giving u props is a big deal

 

[lief1]

you should add a class thats made to be a versatile caster and tank, like maybe a knight with a bit less melee powers and gets to chose it's magic type at the start.

Why is there a smiley face on the map?

 

[Arkan.]

>Why is there a smiley face on the map?
You have to ask Pidda the terrainer about that

Wow, you people are so kind. I know it might be hard to understand for new players, I'm gonna add more help/tutorials.

 

[Pidda]

Why is there a smiley face on the map?

Well, In the beginning.. There was nothing. Then I created trees, water, plants and animals.

On the second day, I created a smilie to make the children of the earth (Arkan) happy. But now the smilie has done it's work, and it will be removed in the next update of the terrain.

- Amen.

 

[springblue222]

It is a good map and the camera is weird(try and fix that) so many ways to play hitting the attack button every time you want to attack is annoying lots of classes cheats do not work(might want to fix that for reviewers) moving is annoying too no up,down,left,right movement hard to understand at first but all toghether I'd say 8/10
good map lots of cons though

 

[duke-zip]

just stick to the smiley spring, don't push urself now

 

[DeAtH_NoTe]

nice map

 

[max_dan]

just got another bug, the antidote item doesn't work.
btw, the lich king really hard to defeat, actually I stuck at that point. I played alone and the lich can disable all my action.

 

[Conlan]

should be a lot easier for single player, i really want to play but it's currently impossible for me.
Models MUST have portraits
Other than that incredibly good job

 

[M.I.A.]

This... is scary good.

I have never seen a map defy normal game mechanics so much. Not even the first person shooters. You have made your own game, not just a warcraft map. Even with your own setting menu 0.o

I can only say, it seemed like it took too long to get anywhere. could you make it a little faster? So were not beating the crud out of the same easy monsters for hours before we can move to the next step?

(I LOVE THE COMBAT SYSTEM!!!!! it's better then most big time video games I have)

 

[xtc_]

The 4th island is last one in beta right? I mean this with lvl 25+ vendors.

Great systems, great gameplay and great terrain. But i dont like one thing, nearly the whole map is like a siberia - empty, without mobs to fight against and little bit boring - u have to run back and forward to find any opponent to fight against, and so, u need tons of same monsters to pass on another island. U should think about creep camps or something and balance spawning of single ones around each camp. More droppable items would be great also. Plus make a spell for any healer class that cures poison, would be nice.

*stunned*
There are no words to describe this.

[youkaiz]

This is only the best ORPG of warcraftIII
5/5 you is a programming monster.

 

[ECCLESIASTES]

This is a thing that deserves the 5/5

 

[Abdoma]

I really love this map! It has an awesome custom battle system and great multiboards. 5/5

Now I need to find friends to play it with

 

[Bumkt]

Arkan, are you still working on the map?

 

[Pidda]

Both me and Arkan are still working on the map.

We had a smaller setback when my computer crashed, so I lost alot of work there (models, traits, terrain etc).

The map is still in progress but we can't give you any exact date for the release of the next version. There's a lot of new content being added. Hopefully it'll be released before or in the beginning of January.

 

[Karghool]

exellent! nice gameplay! 5/5 but you must create some orc heros!

 

[thedeathunterxx]

i am a level 27 rogue : ) and he kicks major ass with those teckniques ( i do 400 - 600 damage on average. 1000 critical :O


beutiful work here. definetly a 100/5 So many unique multiboards and a cool system.

a found a problem though. When you save the game in single player ( the original way to save, not the doe saving) the combat bar that indicates when you will do the highest damage doesn't appear anymore when you load it back.

the game camera was cool. at some times it got annoying ( like in the Azalmir forest, where there are mountains. you might want to suggest an arrow key movement system..

overall good work ! cant wait till next version so i can discover whats Up in the NORTH!!

edit : o and one more thing, by accident, i kept on aborting quests :/ mabye when you abort a quest, you dont have to loose the quest permanetly. try and make it so that you can get the quest back again if you aborted it by accident

 

[Pidda]

Sounds like a sweet rogue =)

Thanks alot. From what I've heard from Arkan (that does all the scripting, and got way more knowledege than me about these things), wc3 screws up things with the combat bar. And that's something we can't fix and something that has to be fixed in wc3.
My suggestion is that you save with the ingame save.

[Edit] Just found what I was looking for, Arkan wrote this in another forum:
"You mention that the stamina bars disappear, this is a Wc3-Save issue. I suggest you use save codes you get at crystals instead of using default wc3-saving."

Movement with the arrow-keys usally lags alot for most players so this will not be implemented.

Thanks alot. Most of the terrain in the north was actually finished months ago but none of the quests or npcs was finished. There's alot of exciting new terrain up there

That's true, although I got no idea how you're able to abort the quests though Arkan will have to answer this, if you're gonna be able to pick up quests again.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

the terrain was sweet.

thanks for answering my question.

once this is finished, it needs directors cut.

oh and it is way to much work writing down the code and stuff : /
ill live without the combat bar xD

 

[Hormonij]

Exellent map 5/5

Very interesting thank authors

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Ok. I played this game for about four hours straight.. Its a very nice RPG, even the first one was amazing. I have a few minor suggestions for the final map.
1. Do more with the terrain. It's a bit plain sometimes.
2. Make a way to remove items from the belt
3. Make a clear tutorial for all the professions (Cooking, Fishing, Etc.)
4. Allow players to chose which stats they want to add points in.

I love the map, it is amazing. I'd play this all day if i could. It's a lot like what i want to make with my rpg. 5/5 and a +rep.
good work.

 

[taikanatur]

Together with TKoK, the best RPG out there.

 

[FireBlaze]

Great game. I can't really find any fault with the game. 5/5 and rep to you my good friend.

 

[niika]

the best warcraft based rpg 5/5

 

[Bowzerbro]

Good map, though I believe MAG users are too weak compared to melee classes. Melee deal a good deal of damage and tank way better, while MAG user deal a fair amount of damage and can barley tank at all :x Even so, one of the best RPGs if not the best out for Wc3 4/5~

 

[Super-Sheep]

Sexy multiboards.
