Tested it, giving 4/5...but you could improve it. However there are some people who will ask you to use BB Codes to enhance your description, otherwise it's fairly good.

 

[light bolt30]

Okay, this map doesn't seem it will be approved anytime soon from what the description says.

 

[Septimus]

this is not the section to ask for feedback.

 

[ap0calypse]

There's something called "Shift Lock" or "Caps Lock" on your keyboard (depending on the keyboard's origin country), try pressing it once.
Could help improving your sentences.

Suggestion:
Don't upload maps to get suggestions.

as usual, Zenonoth, thank you for your suggestion. I just disregard my previous maps and focus on this one...

The chance is that people won't respond to the thread if your description is like this though.

Edit: also, don't double post.
There's an "edit"-button for a reason.

[RedClaw]

wow thx all for the good feedback!

 

[mckill2009]

lol! Eternal, the comments was intended for my old DA map, Apo just put it in fixed, then we made this one, entirely new...

 

[Bloodbath]

Downloading gonna gv it a try
i saw this on map dev

 

[mkmr]

i think hunter's sfelsburg ability too OP give a limit to water elementals

 

[mckill2009]

yeah I will update that, more comments plssss...

 

[defskull]

Please, we need a constructive criticism =D
So we can improve on what's wrong or not =D

My warcraft 3 crashed with a crit error.

I was playing as the Mage, and it just crashed.

Edit: I tested it a few times, it seems to happen sometimes when you cast Fireball. I think it may have something to do with when the Fireball goes over cliffs or, more likely, reaching the end of the edges of the map. Hope this helped.

Edit 2: I also get 2 Spirits, don't know if this is intentional. Your anti-cheat system doesn't work either, the cheats still apply. Don't know what's the point of it anyway, if people want to ruin the game for themselves that should be their decision, not yours.

me too i just played the mage and if the fireball go towards a cliff wc3 will crash

 

[mckill2009]

===UPDATE VERSION 1.3===

More skippable cinematics
Added 30 chests traps for a total of 100
Giant Fireball can be a Point target now
Water Elemental for felsburg spell has been reduced
Boss hit points has been increased
Fixed doubled Geish spirit when game begins
Fixed doubled loading dwarves when game begins
New Loading Screen

@f0rsAk3n & @bloodbath5557

Already fixed, maybe the trigger for Giant Fireball didnt went off...now should be OK...
BTW, Giant fireball has been improved

I played until the third boss, I quit while fighting him due to a frustrating bug.

Here's some of my thoughts (possible spolers):

Notes

The merchant sells Ring of the Archmagi and Circlet of Nobility. They both give +2 to all stats, but cost a different amount of gold.
On the hero selection, one of the spells is "Commet fall". It propably should be "Comet fall".
The map could be set to not be partially visible.
Maybe the hotkeys could be Q-W-E-R-T, abilities in same order in the command panel.
The grammar was not too good.
You life is very low message was annoying and not necessary in my opinion.
Consider adjusting ability level skip requirements. Now I can level the mage to 5 and just level up the water elemental, who then makes things a lot easier.
The timed repeating texts were highly annoying.
Make the water elemental able to enter/exit caves.
Limit water elementals to 1.
Deselect the hero when a cinematics begin. Select again when cinematics end.
Some doodads are partially in the air, which does not look good.
Remove tomes that are used. When used, tomes just shrink, but still remain there. You can see the graphics and the leave a shadow.
And the most annoying bug was your "There is no spoon" infinite mana cheat detection. I was fighting the third boss, and casted two spells in quick succession and I was accused of cheating and the game ended. I ran to this bug on other occasions also.
I'd also like to see the triggers for the healing ability for the woman mage, it suspect there is a bug. Please PM me the triggers.

All in all it was an okay map.

 

[Bloodbath]

mckill can u remove the anti cheat?
i played very far alredy and i was ganked by monster and i hav no mana so i used thereisnospoon
wtf then sudenly anti cheat happened huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! then i hav to restart again xD
(i need cheats during hard times)

 

[dead-man-walking]

Just a reminder: "Comet" is written with a single "M".

Testing nao.

 

[RedClaw]

i also got a crash whene i play mage idk why!

 

[mckill2009]

@bloodbath5557
Ok the next update will include a dialog box option if you allow cheats or not at the beginning of the game, is that fair?

@Maker
tnx dude!, about the bug 'thereisnospoon', I did not check it coz Im not doin the trigger for that but Im gonna do improvements for it...

the woman mage healing spell I will PM to you ...

About the merchants, I did not check it very well either so Im gonna review it...

In all, Im gonna heed most of your advice, thanks!

@Eternal

Use version 1.3

 

[f0rsAk3n]

Sorcerer should be Sorceress.. unless it's a transvestite lol

 

[dreadlord_tr]

bosses are very hard an i found a bug: when i used mushroom strike then throwing rocks immideately it said you cheated(there is no spoon)

Although i liked it much. Good work

thanks!...but its not a bug coz the game supports Anti Cheat System, meaning you cant use whosyourdaddy & thereisnospoon in the game...but I'm workin to optimize it, the next version will include fixes of the ACS system including a dialog box which gives you an option if you like cheats or not...

@f0rsAk3n

I will do that coz it seems straightforward

@Eternal

Use version 1.3

Players will SURELY pick to "disable cheat" box, don't you think... ???

@All
Please, we worked kind of hard for this map, appreciate it
Look at The Chosen Ones Campaign map, it has disable cheat system, right... ?
Why won't you complain that map ?
Why this... ?
Please, be fair

 

[Bloodbath]

i appreciate this map i played it 3 times ...i like the hero selection when u click once the hero plays his animation that just so cool...
btw this map is hard(probly im noob)
mage is the most imba

to the creators:have u guys beaten this map?(without cheats)

We possibly want to re-balance the enemies in this map, well perhaps, in the future, we'll implement an "Easy / Medium / Hard" System =D
(I died on Poison Mira...)

 

[mckill2009]

Actually defs, Im implementing the easy/medium/hard now , as for the ACS system, the thereisnospoon has a problem, the next update Im gonna remove it maybe...

@bloodbath5557

yeah, the mage is quite hard to play coz its the weakest, usually I play wanderer coz of ther doppleganger ability...I played upto poison mira then Im killed by the lava lord

 

[dead-man-walking]

Dwarf's minions are a bit... annoying, to say. It is not rare to find them blocking your way despite the fact that they throws axe at a safe range. :/

Terrain is a bit bland but I guess its safe to say that's just a-ok due to the fact that the player is exploring underground.

The camera ain't gettin' fucked up. Thank god.

Pretty decent and still improvable. I'll try going in further next time.

 

[RedClaw]

if a good terrainer wants to see his name at credits and get reps pm the map creator for terrain help !

 

[demacus]

nice map...few ideas

droppable keys I accicently picked one up with back pack and it wouldn't open any doors to move on..
Some kinda rest for heroes besides mage spirit or a healing font at start
also maybe at deaths shop?
waiting 10 mins to regen hp to fight pretty annoying early on
How does death selling items work? i got to lvl 11 and 2k souls before i got stuck and couldn't find any items that costed souls like he says he sells..

for the ice warrior maybe make the lvl of water elemental skill increase it and limit the number of them to 1-2 having 20 is a little annoying
so far thats all i've noticed only got to the ranger, 3rd boss when i accidently picked up the key
Mages big fireball targeting melee..if i click on a mob coming towards me i run to him instead of it working like shockwave. if i cast it on a ranged unit and i'm engaged with melee i'll walk around the melee ones and it'll cast at weird angles.. instead of the intended path.
Mages immolation *firetail?* it is always BEHIND u not on u so vs 2-3 melee it's useless as it's range doesn't reach the direction your engaged maybe increase it's aoe range to atleast cover melee targets attacking you?

make tomes restock faster or hold stocks of more then 1 after fighting and getting 2k only to being able to up 1 agil was annoying
all and all it was pretty fun and thanks for the effort and a feel with a few tweaks it can be great

 

[mckill2009]

now that's a good comment, I will fix the droppable this day...
about the fire trail, that's why its called 'fire trail' coz its always behind him
fireball - the cast range is 100 so you should cast it in front of you, not at the enemies...
the ice warior (hunter) ability felsburg is passive, so as the level goes up then the greater chance for him to cast it...

about souls, I will add a Healing Point for it this day (next patch)...also in the next patches, it will buy abilities...

in all, thank you all for your comment, but we need more to improve this map...

 

[Bloodbath]

Bump if u updated the map

 

[mckill2009]

thanks bloodbath5557, it will be updated this day once I go home, I already created 2 custom abilities 2 be purchased using 'souls'...

 

[Adiktuz]

I think you should change the cast range of fireball to make it easier to cast it... ^_^

anyway,

gotta test it fully maybe later...

 

[mckill2009]

=====UPDATE=====

Poison Mira model has been changed to Succubus
Valker's Vampiric Aura ability has been removed
Added Firewall and Lightning Cloud buy ability

 

[Bloodbath]

I played it through with the two-sworded hero with Illidan's voice set, version 1.4a, normal difficulty.

My thoughts how to improve:

View

Ice Deflect, I'd like the unit not become invulnerable. Being invulnerable means units stop attacking you, and that's not deflecting. I'd rather have the unit gain Hardened Skin with 0 minimum damage and very high blocked damage, and Spell Damage Reduction ability with 100% magic damage reduction. That way units will still attack you, but you won't take any damage.

Again the use of water elementals. The woman mage also uses them. Maybe change water elementals for someelse unit for the mage or this unit.

The unit has 3 passive abilities. I'd like to have one more active ability. Perhaps transform one of the passives into active?

The drop rates were through the roof compared to 1.2 version. Maybe even too high.

The respawn time was perhaps too low. Increase it a bit.

When opening doors, check the companion's inventory also, so I don't have to have the key in the main hero's inventory.

The freeze target and Entagling Roots were pwnage combo.

Give the companion more ability levels, and balance the levels.

The end boss was not too difficult, I had more troube with some other bosses. I saw you removed the vampiric aura from him, making him even easier.

There could be stronger items dropping when progressing through the map. Even another shop. Custom items would be nice.

And what can I do with souls, other than respawn?

wow dude, you finished the last boss?, hehe, even me I cant finish it, anyway, Im gonna improve and apply the things you said just what I did before...

version 1.6 is coming in a few days with lots of improvements specially the respawn system...more abilities to come...thanks for the review again...

 

[Maker]

Oh, and

Spoiler

create a proper ending, now the victory screen pops up instantly when the final boss dies. A bit anti-climatic, wouldn't you say
