Comment: [Approved]
This map's rating has been raised to 4/5 from 3/5 due to the addition of the amazing inventory system.
The map's main factor would be the amazing terrain, however the gameplay is a bit lacking due to some of the more awesome spells of the classes being missing. (Also no Demon Hunter since this isn't being worked on anymore)

Rui: First of all, let me apologize for reviewing the map so soon, that doesn't usually happen -- I always give the map time to take the first waves of critique. But since mini-judge bounty hunter2 pointed me to it, we ended up playing it in one of our map testing sessions.

The RPG is alright, but I just can't with wrong ability buttons and poor descriptions. Check my [self=http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=112705&page=4#post970814]full review[/self].
Approved!

 

[Horohor0]

great map =D

i only played it in single player >_>
but tested every class o.o
and ill play it soon on battle.net *_*

the terrain is perfect x3
and also the camera is a good idea and gives the whole a nice style :3
but i suggest to fix the camera on the hero o.o
the only negative point are the abilities o.o
i think not one is triggered ^^''
(but the most abilities in D3 are similar to the wc3 basics so its not a real issue)

because its a beta it deserves 5/5 o.o

 

[Lord Kazzak]

yeah .. not so bad... ok its only the diablo III gameplay video as a wc3 map but its well done ... keep it up xD

i'm not able to open the chest in the demo of the barbarian ...

 

[Khaine]

Map is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect Diablo feeling, Great custom models, skins, icons, cool bosses, ....
Good triggers- Boss fights units spawn-> like in Diablo 3
For a beta version it´s very awesome

Negativ:
Map is unbalanced( Easy to win)
And the map is a little bit to small
Very less different types of enemies
And some other things....

Keep up the good work

Edit:
I won the game with 3 other players(Balance)!

 

[Unhit]

Wow! I was a bit suspicious when I saw a new, non-approved map with a 5 thumbs rating, but downloading and playing it myself removed that suspicion. Once you pick a hero, you immediately feel as if you stepped inside the Diablo III gameplay trailer indeed. Will play this on bnet asap.
When browsing the heroes etc, I noticed some small glitches (e.g. the mana shield tooltip still refers to the sea witch, and the hotkey of the sorceress' chainlightning collides with hold position), but that will probably be fixed with future versions. 4/5, and this map definitely has potential for more

 

[Verhalthur]

This map is the most impressive Diablo map I have ever seen.

And the fact that you made this from a few gameplay videos is just amazing.
Really, this deserves a 5/5.

 

[CloudWolf]

aaah Ty for the input! I'm fixing all the known bugs now =]

 

[Artins the Great]

Everyone said it was good, so I'm trying this.

 

[Conlan]

really great job for a beta version, 5/5

 

[Artins the Great]

Alsome, it was good for a beta, I agree. Few things you might wanna fix.

-The Witchdoctor's Revive thing should be fixed. It revived the last boss "siege breaker" and pawned the remaining zombies.
-There should have been Cultists.

 

[bounty hunter2]

So I saw your map, thought oh noez, not another Diablo shit map. Then I saw the rating and comments and I thought, hell why not take a look. I made a good choice. You made a good map.

Here is my rating and comment:

1 - 10 points go on originality
1 - 10 points go on object editor work
1 - 10 points go on scripting
1 - 10 points go on terrain
1 - 10 points go on bug free
1 - 10 points go on gameplay/fun factor
1 - 10 points go on lag
1 - 10 points go on proper submission and crediting
-------------------------------------------------
That equals 80 points max.

Originality: 5 points
It's Diablo, how original is that?

Object editor work: 6 points
It was good, not too interesting spells or anything, but it was generaly fine. Although you must fix the Witch Doctor issue, I took him and whoola ended up reviving bosses. Not cool.

Scripting: 8 points
Not much scripting was needed in a map like this, and what was needed was generaly done good.

Terrain: 9 points
The best part of the map. Man you created a awsome atmosphere, that reminded me a lot of Moria. Hell you should make a LOTR map aswell. Your terrain inspired me to start mapping after a week break. It was simply beautiful.

Bug Free: 4 points
Sorry but you must fix the Witch Doctor revive. Also you could fasten the camera at cinematics. When the Pudge boss appeared I was exploring stuff at the other side of the map, so the camera was panning realy slowly for me.

Gameplay/Fun Factor: 9 points
Very good and not boring. I mean the crawlers coming from all over are simply amazing. Well done in this field too.

Lag: 10 points
The game didn't cause lag, nice loading time.

Proper submission and crediting: 4 points
You should add more info here at the THW, and also credit the skin/model creators here aswell.

In overall: 55 / 80
-----------------
The map suprised me with its freshnes and great terrain. The Crawlers were my favourite part. For a beta this is very good, and you are on a great path.

Suggestions:

- Class Weapons
- Custom music
- Even more darker atmosphere

However the map is good and for now, as a beta it deserves a 3/5 from me certanly. It leans to a 4.

When you finish it, I will vote you for Approval
Good Luck, bounty hunter2

 

[CloudWolf]

Map has been updated! Witchdoctor has a set unit to summon now, rather than any dead enemy. He also has a new ability, Fire Bomb. Theres also a few extra items and creeps. and a few balancing changes =] More updates coming soon!

EDIT: In reply to the above post, all modellers will be credited when the final is released For now, ive just stuck a general "All models from THW" because they're gonna keep on changing every day and i dont wanna keep updating it :S lo

Ty for all the reviews so far It means a lot to me!

 

[Conlan]

oh, you should make more interesting spells for Barbarian (havent tried the others), make some trigger based abilities.

 

[CloudWolf]

heh, ive tried, and i honestly cant get my head around them xD this map is open-source, so once the final version is released, feel free to make a mod

 

[DarkDivinity]

fantastic map! if that's what you did with some video clips, io cant wait to see what you're going to do with a complete D3 map when the game comes out!I was unable to try it with other people, so im not sure if it becomes more difficult with multiple people, but it was slightly easy on single player for me. nonethelesss, an excellent map!

 

[Oziris]

One this is one fantastic map! when i saw it i said omg another noob map. When i opened the page i saw all the great comments, so i tested it and when i first saw it i was shocked. I hope you finish the map. By the way there is a bug with the puppet master, when you come to the door you dont have to fight him the barbarian just uses his spells over and over again and kills him. Make pathing blockers for sight that will help much. The murloc is very strong his HP needs to be lower and the puppet masters hit points needs to be at least 4000hp

 

[CloudWolf]

aaah Thanks for the input! I'll fix that now =]

 

[arphax214]

really good map! 5/5!

 

[Shanghai]

yes one thing.. how i get spells ? i tested it and my hero has no spells? sry i dont understand but how do i get spells?

 

[CloudWolf]

uuurm, he did'nt? :S Thats never happened before xD Which hero was it?

 

[Dethekkus]

This sure is one hell of a map! You immediately feel like you're playing Diablo. But I'd like to see the Barbarian with more triggered spells. Can't wait to put my hands on the final!
4/5 so far. Will probably be raised to 5/5 in time. :J

 

[arphax214]

dude why is it when the wizard died when resurrected the model just gone..=_=" sorry for my bad english..

 

[Shanghai]

cloudWolf where do i find the spells? i dident understand theh hero has no spells at the start ? but the map kick ass its awesome terrain but u should jave some kind of other model for the barbarian i think and i know a spell u could have for him i find the spells now itsnearly orginal all

 

[CloudWolf]

umm.. I have no idea whats gone wrong for you :S Ive retested the map several times, and it always works for me xD They just have normal spells so they arent hard to find

I re-uploaded it to be sure, so try re-downloading the map

As for the wizard dying, when a player leaves, his/her hero dies, then dissapears to prevent unnecesary units lagging up the map Your hero may also dissapear completely if you die with no revives =]#

Hope that helps!

 

[George2307]

This Map is Simply Superb it Realy does feel like your playing Diablo III =D
I have played as the Witchdocter and Wizard and enjoyed the map both times. I Think this is the best Diablo map I have played and Deserves 5/5. My Only suggestion for this map would be to make it Much Harder as at the Moment it is far to easy. I cant wait for the full version =)
+Rep

 

[Takahuja]

Can´t you enchant the Spells with runes???

Or can you do it?

 

[RuneKragh]

Does anyone know how to make those "steep cliffs"?

 

[CloudWolf]

heya

Yea! If you go to the tools section, you want to download one of the World Editor Mods.

"World Editor Unlimited" and "NewGen" Allow you to create steep cliffs

 

[Mechmap]

Or you can just download the "miscdata" from the terrain forum and put it in your wc3 folder. They have stickied the thread with the download.

The map is very good, I liked the terrain. It was very easy at first but later it gets harder if your on your own that is.

 

[DarkDivinity]

a trigger spell that you could give to the barbarian would be the ever-fun Leap Attack, or at least a leap-attack-based trigger spell

 

[CloudWolf]

I thought about doing that, but the only problem is that if a hero can leap, it will be very tricky to stop people from jumping out of the playable area :S

I'll see what I can do though

 

[D a w n]

I think this map is great butthe warrior seemed much stronger than the witchdoctor or the wizard to me.

The next steps should be custom spells for them which work like those shown by blizzard.

 

[CloudWolf]

The warrior is the newest addition to the map, so hes probably bugged up, and rather unbalanced right now like you said xD Once I've tested it a few times online, ill be able to balance him properly

Thanks for the comment!

 

[Takahuja]

Seeems Like nobody answered me so I ask again

When we can enchant the spells with runes like in real Diablo 3???

i.e Adding great Fire Rune to teleport causes to make an chaotic shockwave on the place you teleport

I think that´s the coolest thing on Diablo 3

 

[The_wand_mirror]

The indoor terrain is insane!

 

[CloudWolf]

right! I've rebalanced the Warrior hero, he should be slightly less imba now

Ive also added some extra mana creeps, and a custom loading screen! :O

 

[Takahuja]

Cloudwolf could you please answer me???

When you´re going to add Rune System to spells??

 

[Darkenneko_003]

I think you should remove the warrior,
seeing as there is none in the Diablo 3, I also doubt they will.
For the people talking about a "Rune" System, WHAT are you talking about?
There are no Runes. There are Orbs, that drop, Health, and Mana.

 

[Septimus]

I never doubt this map terrain to be bad because I have seen his excellent work.

I would download and give comment about it as soon as my computer have been fix.

 

[Takahuja]

Erm Lol There´s a Rune System in diablo 3 you can enchant your spells with the runes

You´re not up-to-date mate ;P

In the skilltree thee´s an empty place near every spell for runes so you can add extra effect´s on you spells I.e

Ading Greater Death Rune(Or Darkness dunno the name anymore)
to teleport spell will cause to revive near corpses near our teleport point to get revived for a short time

Or add a Greater Poison Rune on any attack gives advantages like poisoning or even some really special things if it get combined with the right spell ;P

 

[CloudWolf]

I'll add a rune system if I've got time Uni exams are coming up so im a tad short

But! This map is completely open-source, so feel free to make a mod lol

 

[Takahuja]

I think to create a good rune system is a bit too hard for me xD

But it´s cool that you will add it ;P

anyway 9/10

Because I love it but I´m missing the Rune system xD

 

[CloudWolf]

Slight Update

Ive added a few more caster items, fixed a couple of spell bugs, and added a brand new boss at the end I'll keep you posted on further updates!

 

[Teldrassil]

Man CloudWolf you surprise me greatly, I was browsing through the maps a few weeks ago and found your Rosaria Project, played it with a few friends and was very pleasantly surprised. Now I've been trying your other maps and haven't been let down yet, you're a great mapper, keep up the fantastic work.

-Teld

 

[Oziris]

When i was playing with my brother, when he died he had many pots and he diden't drop those items. Make when a hero dies and has no ankhs left his items drop upon death.

 

[CloudWolf]

aaah, good point At the moment, if a player leaves he drops his stuff, I havent made triggers for death drops yet

Ty for the nice idea! =]

 

[Interium]

great map
1)Optimize and resize it please;
2)Bosses is very weak;
please continue this map and protect it!;

 

[CloudWolf]

Its not meant to be protected I want ppl to make mods if they so wish

 

[Oziris]

I was thinking making a new creep, like abomination. When he dies he drops worms out of his body like in this cinematic:
