Review

Please Note This map review set-up is based on that created and used by Tank Commander, I review maps that look interesting or promising. If you wish for me to review your map, or if notable changes have occured to a map I have already reviewed, then you may message me with a link to your map and I will review it within the next week. Review Breakdown (5 marks) - Terraining/Environment (5 marks) - Triggering (15 marks) - Gameplay (10 marks) - Innovation/Originality (5 marks) - Interface/Object Editor Work Mark System 1-7 marks = (1) Poor quality map, unfit for the Hive (usually a beginners map) 8-14 marks = (2) The beginnings of a map are there, but it still needs work and is likely unfinished. 15-21 marks = (3) An adequate map, is fun for a game or two and functions. 22-28 marks = (4) Shows promise and has some interesting features; playability is high. 29-35 marks = (5) A fine example of Hive-quality; will keep you entertained for several games at least and updates are looked forward to. 35+ marks = (6) A simply brilliant warcraft map. Features are flawlessly implemented, code is legit, game is fun, and the constraints of Warcraft 3 are challenged. Subsection Review Terraining (5/5) - Although you do draw on many of Cloudwolfs original ideas and some of the actual environment itself is snapshotted from Diablo 3 trailers, it is nevertheless brilliant and beautifully implemented. Triggering (N/A) - Map is protected, thus this section will be discounted. Gameplay (14/15) - A.I. heroes are available that follow you wherever you go, combat enemies, and use abilities. A plethora of different creeps fill the tristram cathedral dungeon; many of them have special attributes or spells that make it so you must combat them differently. Dungeon "feel" is awsome and is supplemented by the combat, characters, environment, items, and general gameplay. Random events are very cool (Cain's archer being crushed by a nearby collapsing wall was epic). On the con side, the creeps need to be weaker to give it that more "hack n' slash" feel we have come to love and expect from Diablo games. I experienced a large amount of lag in the first dungeon fight where you are swarmed by ghouls and during some Boss activity. The Wizards twister ability causes horendous lag; fix it or remove it. Innovation/Originality (6/10) - While you did take some ideas from Cloudwolfs "Diablo Warcraft" map and this is ofcourse based on Blizzard's upcoming Diablo 3 (both of which I must count you down for), you still did much yourself and the overall sense I got was that this was an innovative project that can be set apart from the rest. Interface/Object Editor Work (5/5) - Ability tooltips are well-done and adequately detailed. The UI is appropriately modified and helps the user understand gameplay. A custom interface is even used! Errors and Suggestions - You spelled strength wrong in the Bone Chestpiece tooltip - Nerf the spawn rates of the ghosts in the four-obelisk room - The Witch Doctor's "Dark Helmet" item has a usable ability that does nothing or isn't mentioned in the tooltip - During the first Deckard Cain interaction, the hero says "Cain you still alive!" instead of "Cain you're still alive!" - The Frozen Sword is not classified as a Barbarian item even though it says it is in the tooltip - The first Boss's knockback ability causes notable lag - When the game is over (and your entire team is dead) nothing happens. Your screen just sits there and stares at your body. I would suggest implementing some sort of end-game message or official ending. - In the first village-area (before any combat) my screen was filled up with text. If you base this on when I get near npcs you need to decrease the text-trigger radius for the npcs. If its a timed thing you need to just make it so there is less text. - There is a really cool mirror-image icon for the blizzard in the icon section that I would recommend using. - As a witch doctor, I was able to pick up a shortsword by consecutively picking up two of them within a second or so: Shortsword Glitch Final Review Final Marking - (35/40) Rating - (5) Voted for - Approval Rep Given? - Yes, a beautiful and well-done project Highest Rated Maps N/A

 

Remove the "My Maps", that's called ads and it isn't allowed.
Edit: somehow, with each new diablo 3 map he makes, he puts my name deeper and deeper in the description so no one will find it

 

Rather good map. Worth playing

 

That was really good, loved the terrain, spells, etc. Although, like N1ighthawk pointed out, I too picked up a barbarian class weapon, but as a Wizard. It was a Frost Blade of some sort. I loved the fog effects and the feel of New Tristram that you brought with this map. The only thing I disliked was that the same music was played over and over and over again. How about some creepy New Tristram music, and some creepy dungeon music? That is, if the file size will allow it.
All in all, great map, loved it, very fun
4.5/5

 

2 main problems.
When you walk off the edge of bridges that creeps crawl out of you are teleported to the start of the dungeon. this becomes a problem if you walk off the bridge present in the middle of the dungeon.
The problem with the inventory system still exists. you could try to mute items that players pick up if they are not their class's (though i don't actually like that, i rather you fix your inventory system as it is)
extra: the translation still has many errors. e.g: the class of "axe of courage" is Barbar. who's that?
3/5 just because it has no siegebreaker yet, thus no ending. and that makes it less fun to play than borderlands.

 

The map is updated (v.1.0). You can fight against the Siegebreaker now. Have fun

 

Should be "Cain you're still alive" not "you" or "your".

 

I played this after I saw it on DiabloFans. This map is epic. Cant wait to see final version. Almost takes the cake from Cloudwolf.

5/5

 

AMAZING JOB!! ;D
A great map, very fun, very diablo!
I loved the outdoor terrain especially, looks just like in the Diablo III gameplay video! (inside the cathedral as well)

 

Yeah this map is awesome.The skills are cool,the gameplay is great and the terrain is almost like diablo 3.One of the best maps ever seen

 

a map this good should not stop until it is fully finished!

amazing!

 

what???

final version is nearly finished
have to do some things with the new inventory (anarchons custom inventory)

 

it's just a reminder man...amazing game!

 

Man you created it so close to the game only with one demo???

 

The map is almost done. it's missing is the new inventory system, I'm going to go first time in a week vacation. updates to follow later...

 

i tested your map and it is very good, my question is, is this different than the Diablo III which was posted here by cloudwolf?

please inform me when it's finished

 

please finish this map, thank you!

 

don't doublepost! use the edit button
yes it is different.

 

sorry, my bad!

 

Diablo III New Tristram is a passing stage game where each player plays as a character from the popular game diablo III. It's goal is to kill the final boss. There are four classes to choose from, with awesome terrain and greatly designed spells closed to the original diablo III.

I got to say, the first play was pretty hard for me to figure out alone. But I see the very great effort. If I know how to go about the stages I will feel much better...

5/5
