Uhh... Any comments?

 

[Oklino]

so if you want some comment ...

I'played the tauren, the archer and swordsman.

+ a lot of cool (coustom?) abilities
+ short reviving time
+ interesting and rewarding quests
+ clear arranged map (people may play it twice to know all NPC positions)
+ bosses for each wave
+ the guy with the sword rocks ^^

------------

- waves take much too long. players are getting bored after hacking 50 treants
- too many manually operating abilities (only my oppinion - its a question of what individual players prefer)
- The Tauren CAN'T heal himself - although the tooltip says that (50% himself)!
- bad choice of projectile animation for the archers firebolt. ever tried to put a burning rock on a bowstring? that's not atmospheric.
- Your board says that there will come a wave 5 but the game is over after 4th wave - i know you're on to implement more waves but until then you'd fix that.

The Archer(Hero): is quite useless while playing with only a few players (too little mana, single target abilities - maybe it shoud get a standard ability like firing 3 arrows at different targets or something - that would make him usefull even if he uhm "she" is out of mana)

The Mother Earth Guy(Hero): Can't heal himself and the ability with the "critical strike" icon may dont work - dunno, maybe i just didnt get what its for, but the only "advantage" it brought to me was losing HP and doing little damage


But overall this is an amazing map and you really should keep improving! I've spent hours to find a castle defense/survival thingy where players cant be overrun from several directions - those maps are quite boring because they dont give strategic options. unlike your map - it has 3 northern gates a wall that is can be used for archers, a gate that doesnt collapss after tipping it...

very good work


EDIT: I've forgot something! You should also change the "suggested players" amount to 1-8 (I've made it in single player WITH an intact gate (that was pure stress ^^)

 

[Lorgan]

I didn't miss a point in the comment from Oklino.
It is a great work so far, keep it up.

TheMother Earth... has his problem with the mentioned skill.

Like he say :change the suggested player to 1-8.
I manage it with the Holy Prayer and a no damage to the main gate.

I'm looking forward for the next version.
Hope it doesn't take too long.
It makes too much fun to wait for too long.

 

[SamNainocard]

Thanks for your comment!
I really appreciate it.

About the waves, it's my main concept, so I think I couldn't change it much.

 

[Oklino]

that's some bad news
but maybe you should think about once more
just adding 1-2 different monsters would also help to get some variety!

i have to say it again: the swordmaster/man/or what ever his name was is great ^^

 

[SamNainocard]

Sorry for slowing update. I have been quite busy lately.
A change log is coming soon, please do comment.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Please post the names of the resource authors, don't just group them under THW.

 

[SamNainocard]

Alright, I have put all of resources I used, but some of them cannot be found in THW (via search)

Edit

Well, Sorry for slowly update and very low description here, I'll update along with version 0.39 that should be released today or maybe tomorrow.

 

[ProfessorZmurge]

Finished it
Was fun, but waves are really long >.>

 

[FrozenFenrir]

well i tested it a bit in singleplayer and...
i have a few suggestions/improvements...

-maybe skill max lvl 4-5? 3 is kinda boring in case u reach it in the first few waves.

-a bit clearer shop organisation

-the shop dealer called "war priest" with his item "healing dust"(which is needed for that shadow orb from the blacksmith) doesnt exist...i searched the whole map with "iseedeadpeople" and i couldnt find him =O fix that pls

-a few more heroes(maybe 1 more per shrine)

-there were a few typos but they werent really bad(it was all easy to understand IMO)

other than that,this map has really much potential!!
hope to see ore updates soon ;D

 

[zetanno]

The map indeed had a lot of potencial and the shop organisation is pretty clear ; search Nurse and you will find 2 NPCs ,the lower one is the war priest . Btw you spelled Blood Efl instead of Elf .
Great map and I hope we'll see more of your ideas as soon as possible .

 

[SamNainocard]

Thanks for your comments.

@FrozenFerir
It's a priest at front of the fortress, you may also buy it from Sorceress (on the wall). Maybe I should change to Sorceress instead.
About skills. skills level are max at level 3 because I don't see a point about having lot of level for a little different.

Sorry for the grammar and spelling, I'm not Eng, you know. (still improving though, xD. )

@FrozenFerir

well in this case your description is wrong...

screenshots

 

[SamNainocard]

@FrozenFenrir
It's this guy, or you may find other seller within red circle in mini-map.

 

[FrozenFenrir]

ah lol
well i didnt suppose he was at the front D= shop npcs usually are in the castle...
maybe u should write a notice about that ingame cause its very confusing IMO

 

[Zeroranger]

I really like this map

 

[FrozenFenrir]

well i played this map soem times and...well...
at 3 of 4 times ive chosen "3 ways" but the game has been set to "5 ways"
=/

 

[SamNainocard]

Maybe you choose too slow, so it automatic choose.

Updated V0.40 a change log is coming soon, translating.

Like, reducing lagness by 25-50% and new skills.

 

[FrozenFenrir]

im definately not too slow
if i choose 3way(havent tried other ones yet), the same box pops up over and over again!
like 10 times D=

 

[SamNainocard]

Just forget to mention here that Minimum Waypoints is depends on how many players.
You can see that it's grayed out. but if isn't gray then it's bugged.

 

[FrozenFenrir]

its definately not grey
i usually play with 6 players...so...i think it should be still okay to choose 3way =O

 

[SamNainocard]

You're right, I have checked and well, it's really a bug by a little mistake...
Oh, and I'll let 6 players to play with 3 ways too.

I'll update a 0.40b once I found a few more bugs.

 

[herro_master]

hey ima having a mini9 test seccion lan at my house so ima test this with some buddies so hey ill give some feedback when im done ok


-herro

 

[SamNainocard]

Sorry for slow updates, now I'll have to jump from 0.40b to 0.50.

As there'll be some new systems, balancing, new heroes, new items, terrain, well... everything, I guess...

*Edit
Oh, I need someone to confirm that, 1 Ways or 3 Ways are still being played.

 

[SamNainocard]

Long enough of no updates, just having a bad time here, busy, stress, blah blah.

Version 0.50 is going to releases soon, with a few check that there'll be no major bugs.

There'll be a lot of changes here, lot of system added, much more here.


*Edit*
I'm retired, DHoG 0.50 yet to be fully done, I might be able to update here...

Mass Purging Template Version 3.0
Reject.

Reason for not approving:
The terrain is definitely rejection basis.
