Nice map, especially terrain, what would i do in your place is not copy cat d3, but make some diablo spinoff, you sure are talented , use it...

 

[Conlan]

the map currently needs unique and all trigger-based abilities i think

 

[CloudWolf]

=]

At present, several of the bosses have their own triggered abilities, however, I have to admit I lack the skill to make them for playable heroes.

Once everything else is finished, I may have to get someone else involved to create some new abilities for me Either that, or persuade someone to make a mod of the map

 

[bounty hunter2]

I see you have updated your submission with photos. I recommend you use the photo of the beginning, it was one of the best terrain parts in the map.

 

[CloudWolf]

I had some free time, and put those creeps you suggested in They actually work really nicely xD Ty for the idea

 

[ProfessorZmurge]

Great map , too easy.

 

[CloudWolf]

Ive noticed that the more players you have, the harder it gets because everyone receives less exp xD

When the gameplay is done, ill work on multiple difficulty levels to balance that out

 

[Oziris]

This is really a great map, never tough you can make one! even doe the island part doesn't look like Diablo 3, it remainds me a litle. Look at some videos and make the exact terrain.

 

[Belyak_33]

Hi! In official video of D3 gameplay we've seen orb wich restore health and mana. Don't you want add it in your map?
P.S. Sorry for my english.

 

[Spartan.117.]

Very fun! I loved it! I say more heals and mana things . 5 - 5 Very fun!!

 

[kingbdogz]

I hope you don't mind CloudWolf, but I'm modding a Single Player version of this with music, custom models, and a lot of new things that are not in here currently. Tell me if you want me to proceed with it, I'm even making custom spells right now. I'm going to make the party system like in Diablo 3 SP where you can borrow NPC's and stuff.

 

[CloudWolf]

Go for it! Like I said before, this map is completely open-source, and anyone has the option to mod it if they wish Just make sure you clearly state the map was "Made by cloudwolf", and edited by you in the quests somewhere

 

[redmarine]

I'm going to take a general approach.
In general this map is probably the best RPG I've ever played on the Wc3 engine and I loved it very much.
Your terrain was pretty good but I disliked the fact that the dessert looked like a beach.
All the characters were well made and looked pretty awesome.
The bosses were fun to fight although it was pretty easy.

I've never seen RPGs with such quality before so 5/5.

Edit: Healing globes are red not orange.

√ Hive Workshop requirements √ Terrain √ Imported Material √ Packaging √ Machine/Net-friendly √ Spelling & Grammar √ Bug-free √ Newbie-friendly +/- Fun Factor/Gameplay +/- Originality (X) Object Editor work quality

"Diablo III" is a Warcraft III TFT RPG map by Cloud-Wolf. You choose one of the 4 available classes (Warrior, Barbarian, Witch Doctor and Wizard) and you travel through dungeons and tropical landscapes, defeating a considerable number of enemies along the way. RPGs aren't my type, but I must express my approval for all the imported material, as well as the terrain. My only critique for the terrain is the lack of ground texture variation along the path in the tropical part of the map: the road could have been a little more heterogeneous tile-wise. I can't say that you created something original, though. It's just slaughter and more slaughter.

There are hundreds of maps like that, be a little creative!

What I did NOT like: the object editor work quality. Now that I think of it, you put fancy colors in the items, that's a plus. However, the bad spell descriptions and active icons on passive abilities just made me snap.My suggestions:

• Fix the spell icons and improve their descriptions
• Vary the terrain a bit (the tropical landscape road)
• Add something original and fun to the RPG (scripted spells could be in the order too)

By the way, keep the screenshots in [HIDDEN] [/HIDDEN] tags, please. They are way big (even though, they were a good idea for the description ).I have to give you a reputation award though, for successfully categorizing your map, and being an awesome example of how to get a good grade on packaging (description, image, screenshots)!

My rating for this resource is 3/5 (Useful). Approved!

 

[Eccho]

The fact that it has been reworked from a d3 trailer fascinates me. The terrain was not equal at all times, but very similar.
Do I want to play it again? Yes, probably. Even though it do lacks Object Editor work quality it was still fun and I enjoyed the terrain (even though the huge amount of doodads used it didnt drop my framerate that much, which is a good thing). The imported material was neat, the chestdrops were fine too. It was a very cooperative rpg but at some points it was too easy. Though, without the wizard's chain healing I bet it would be harder.

I also would like some more blood effects Afterall, there is alot of goryness in the original trailer. But yes, the theme was excellent... And it does, for sure, gains my approval. Keep up the good work and get another version out soon=)
4/5 from me.

 

[ProfessorZmurge]

Could you please post change logs?

 

[CloudWolf]

wow :O A blood effect! I imagine that would be quite easy to pull off Ill add that in for the next version

And yes! From now on, ill keep a change log, and update the version numbers in the title xD I've been a tad lazy in that area lol

Thanks for the reviews guys Ill try my best to make those changes to enhance the gameplay!

 

[Syntic_Arrow]

this.utterly.pwns.kicksass.has no words to say about it. holy fuck dude. that final fight was utterly cool!

just a few things:

grammar:

in the questlog it's "beginning, not "begining" and it would look cooler if you made a flashy credit required quest with people that made the models and such

make some text on the bosses, cause unthough their intro's are sweet they are kinda like: ehh? especially tryael, he stands there down but i feel like he should has something to say

try to fix as many leaks if you got them in your map as possible, because a map of this size can only be killed by lag, that can be stopped by compressing the map and making leaking less!

thanks for the very cool experience! this is what map making is all about

 

[CloudWolf]

Aye, as it stands, there are a few leaks when the bosses use their ultimate spells :/ Im not entirely sure of the best way to fix them though xD Is there a way to globally remove special effects? Or even every effect in a region?

 

[Eccho]

A special effect which doesnt have any specific animations can be destroyed right after they are created. For those who has animations (birth,stand,death or something like that), store the effect in a variable and destroy it after a specific duration.

 

[CloudWolf]

ooh right, so if I made an array for all the special effects in a boss fight, i could remove them all at the same time when the boss has been killed or something?

 

[shamanyouranus]

You forgot to give †-Revellion-† credit for his Nathrezim Sage model.
I see it to the left in the "EPIC BOSSES" screenshot.

 

[Avex]

Awesome, you updated it to give another class, Witch Doctors are almost invincible when they get 2 revive items, and the Blood wand thing, and if they have level 3 bomb + Heal with those items, they get a little OP... plus Barb seems a little Underpowered I dunno.

 

[ShiroiSenji]

Yeah this looks awesome, im going to test it out for sure.

 

[Eccho]

ooh right, so if I made an array for all the special effects in a boss fight, i could remove them all at the same time when the boss has been killed or something?

Yes, that is a way to do it. But keep in mind that I just said that effects such as warstomp or thunderclap does not have any specific animation and can be removed instantly after they have been created. Dont worry, they will be shown and destroyed afterwards automatically that way.

 

[Landy]

Uh oh, CloudWolf, you made this agaaain!! RPG <3 <3 <3 *in love* Just played with friends It's damn good! Waiting for new version

P.S. Even after Rosaria, scripted spells are your weak point You should work on it

 

[Doron]

I have to give this a 4.9/5 ONLY BECAUSE of the lag at the tyrael fight. I was able to solo all the way up as a witch doctor, however failed (very sadface ((( ) at tyrael. The lag was horrible, and happened when he became magic immune. (That's what killed me, no mana stealing ftl) he also got a lot stronger.

I shall not rate this quite yet, I totally agree with everything Rui said, and if you will also fix the lag at the end, you have my 5/5 vote.

however...AWESOME MAP!

 

[Thorneon]

heres where it can be more realistic, Less Minions and less health (for everything except bosses) a miss system, spells more powerful, barbarian attack increased so he doesn't need to depend on spells as much (which is what you do in d3). Other than that, it is a great map although as mentioned earlier is a bit small.

 

[TM-Magic]

I'm not going to bother reading all the other posts, so excuse me if I repeat something.

This map is very well made, but like all things, require some additional work.

Strengths:
Excellent Terrain
Excellent Lighting
Excellent Camera Angles
The Overall "feel" of it is perfect

Neutral:
Balancing is fairly good, however, the game should get harder with more players and easier with less players (everyone ended up leaving me and some other dude and we had a few problems).

Weaknesses:
The Great thing about diablo 2 is, you have fun killing a lot of units fairly easily, and it gets harder. It is the key to a successful game. That being, it's easy to start off, but hard to finish. So I'd suggest making units slightly weaker, but even more of them or something.
The other thing is, it could use some sort of shop/town where you can go back and heal up. This is more opinionated though.
The story isn't developed that well. On a map like this, with beautiful terrain and such, it could use a captivating story to go with it.
The limited 6 slots is a little...limiting, but with the number of items you have in the game its good. If you decide to add more, I'd suggest having some sort of inventory system (maybe even if's just 6 extra slots).
Also, since its good, I'd suggest making it a bit bigger (maybe after you finishup with the beta).

 

[Bpapman]

I think i found a bug. Not sure since it only happened once but I got past the pudge boss then a team mate left on the bridge and blocked everyone so we decided to kill him and after that a few of us lost control of our characters movements, attack control and skill point selections. However we did maintain inventory control but died soon after being unable to get away from mobs to regenerate. Test it, I believe its due to attacking teammates but it would be nice if u kill a teammate to vote or something if they deserve to be removed from the game so when blockers do happen you can move on. Other than that 5/5 ^_^ Great job. Only other thing I would like is an equal distribution of item system cause I always get witch doctors taking high armor stuff and melee taking high int stuff. <== Lol

 

[Manoo]

4/5, Terrain like real diablo3, but spell ar standart like wc3 some pvz shockwave, war stomp, you can add to barbar jump.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Hmm I dunno. The thing I was the most interested in was the Skill System you would've chosen, and seeing the spells from Diablo 3 (some of them at least).

But you just use standard Wc3 stuff. Dunno if there's anything triggered.
Now I've no clue about your GUI/JASS skills, but there are quite a lot things that could be taken from the Gameplay Trailer, even though it's surely not easy.

The Terrain is very nice, especially the floating water was an eye candy : P

I had problems playing single player, because the mana / health regeneration felt completely useless. Having no potions rendered me unable to fight. And waiting until my health / mana was up again... nah what an awful long time.
Another problem were the creeps, whose power scaled extremely fast. And fighting the bosses in 1 v 1 is quite hard^^. But since Diablo is a single player game as well, you might do s.th. about the balance in that case.


Even though this critic seems kinda negative, I really love the idea of such a map and once wanted to do D3 as well . Thus I have much to add ^^
I'm not rating it yet, since it's Beta and I'm looking forward it
GL!

 

[arthas_king]

WOW the best diablo w3 map i ever seen 5/5(im waiting for the new version)

 

[CloudWolf]

Thanks for the input all

If I've missed anyone else from the References, let me know and I'll add them in right away

From all the stuff ive read, I've made one massive "to do" list xD Expect some nice changes for the next version

 

[Soraphis]

it looks verry nice ... but its a bit unbalanced if you play alone ...
imo there should be some more health orbs
or maybe an singleplayer mode !?

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Ahh yeah I agree. Please way more Health (even Mana [cause I've seen mana orbs as well in the Wizard Trailer]) Orbs and make em like normal runes, with what I mean, that they heal the whole team. That's how it'll be in D3 and adds an extra team aspect.
And please reduce the amounts of potion.
1. They won't be used like that in D3
2. It's more comfortable to pick up runes.
3. If you want to keep em like that, make em heal damage over time, as in D2. Shouldn't be hard to do... just like healing salves that don't get interrupted from battle.

On a side note, is there a way you get this epic D3 Gameplay Trailer music, compress it a bit, and include it to your map? Then you could make it play for boss battles etc. Now that would be really awesome!
Hope there's a way for compression, since it couldn't be imported else.

 

[Soraphis]

in diablo 3, the wizzard gets an ability that enemys drop mana orbs ....
and maybe an trigger to autopick healt/mana orbs if they are needed !?

and please lock the camera to the heros ...

diablo 3 musik ... i think you can get that on the diablo3 website ... but i think it will cost something ...

edit:
diablo 3 musik:
http://diablo3.4players.de/news,10014,Diablo_III_Musik.html

the second movie ... you have just to record it ....

 

[CloudWolf]

Soraphis: If I make a single player mode, ill make it as en entirely separate map Because that way, i wont be limited to the 4mb online limit Also, I tried using a locked cam in an earlier version, but removed it due to popular request I know diablo has a fixed cam, but it just didnt work in this warcraft version :/ soz!

Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo: I cant beleive i forgot mana orbs! lol And yes! I do like your idea of less potions, and more health / mana orbs instead. It will keep the game running more smoothly. I'll add it to the next version

As for the music, the only way i can think of would be to either buy a soundtrack CD when one becomes available, or Rip a youtube video, and extract the sound. However, I don't really know if that would be allowed in a map :/ lol I'll have to see what the moderators say

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Here's a link I got from the german fansite of D3
RapidShare: Easy Filehosting

I doubt it is forbidden... since ... I doubt it^^

But as I said, you gotta compress it. 4mb is surely way too big. Even though you perhaps just need about a part of this and loop it. Maybe you can cut it below 1mb.

To the camera. I think it's fine like this, because the Wc3 engine can't provide a really smooth constant-camera movement. Thus it lags a bit, which is ugly. At least if I reconsider correctly.

 

[CloudWolf]

yea If i put music in, ill probably take a sample of say, 1 minute , lower the quality, and set it to repeat. Ive used it in other maps, and it takes about 300 - 400kb of space Which would be acceptable, so long as I only put 1 or 2 variation in the game

I may just add the music in for the bosses or something Ty for the ideas though! Version 1.02 is looking good so far

 

[redmarine]

CloudWolf, you could host this map on Hive. It'll surely increase the map's popularity and feedback.

 

[Dekku]

Terrain
The terrain is dark and smooth, i like that ^^

Creeps
I love the huge rushes of creeps

Spells
You need to fix many spells. I tested the witch doctor. Change the ability locust swarm into a disease that runs to nearby creeps. Like in "Diablo III". And Firebomb would be cooler if it more was a bomb, with a nice sound effect.

7/10.

 

[eMp-Jee]

lovely, 5/5 and +rep

I liked sorceress most, she rocks ;D

 

[Lightstalker]

Great map. Some suggestions:

- Some skills, (such as stamina) once learned, aren't displayed as passive icons, but normal icons which is kinda confusing. So it would be better if you used passive icons for passive skills.

- Create units based on how many players are in-game. I tried it with my bro, and it was near impossible...

- More item drops (in D2 an item drops every time you kill a monster).

- More unique monsters (at the beginning of the game for example, there's a huge mob but no uniques...).

- Set items?

- You could use an inventory system.

- You could use spellbooks so that each class could have more than 5 skills. You could also let players assign their own stat points.

Overall, great map. 4/5.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

More item drops (in D2 an item drops every time you kill a monster).

That's far away from being true. Yet I guess it could be some more items.

But more important I think, the items should be a bit stronger and the heroes should level up a bit slower but it should improve em much more.

By the way, I'll try to create some skills or systems for this map... and since I saw this map is not protected I'll try it out. And if I like it I'll post it here.

 

[Numerion]

Good map

But

i've seen some things...

Barbarian too strong at start...

Reduce a little fly height cause those heroes are walking really on the air

i've seen some creeps attacking walls at the sides :/

Too hard for one player i think ^^

some more healing or mana restoration things...its boring if you have to always wait a lot of time...

Then some not so contrast icons...

But anyway ... it's good ^^ 3.5/5

 

[CloudWolf]

hmmm... I've got a feeling that theres a few problems with the Blood effects in this map The lag some of you had may be due to a few special effect leaks xD

I'll have it fixed in the next version, you have my word! :d

- CW

 

[arthas_king]

Cant wait for the next ver to be released XD

Every time a unit dies you should create a blood effect on the dead body. Perhaps you could make it local.
