More Info:

This Single player RPG is made only by me, johannesr, with the exception of models, skins and custom spells (Credits are under optional quests in the map). It took me about 3 years to make this, although i worked on it on and off with a few month breaks inbetween.

The RPG is currently in beta stage, there shouldn't be any game-breaking bugs, but i'm sure there's still probably lots of minor ones. So i'm asking for your help to find as many as possible and report them to me.

Finally!
But there is a problem with map you cant actually start it. I have the latest version so maybe there is some other bug in it...

EDIT: Should be working now.

Good story idea and nice looking terrain so far.
Gonna try the map later on for a better review...

 

[johannesr]

bump, some feedback would be nice...

Allright I´ve played till I reach the Elven Village and so far I really liked it.

Terrain:
-awesome work, looks good everything fits together
-when the first vid-sequence start there are some trees on the right thta needs to be lowered(floating in the air atm)
-avoid the use of blizz cliffs, but I think how you made it its quite ok
-make the logs a bit smaller and maybe the shrubs (not too much otherwise it wont fit for the hunting mode)

Video/Story:
-nice story telling so far, interesting and good dialogues (not too long not too short)
- on the way I found the secret behind the rock, when I reach the city one of the dwarves talks about the treasures and then gives me the hint for the same place thats awkward (maybe I am mistaken)
-when you have to prove the existance of the mutants it would be cool if he actually drops the body of the mutant
-hm the xeno-virus... I dislike the name cause it sounds so familair, seems to be from a movie, games or so, maybe another name which does not sound so modern
-ah and a tiny thing, write the numbers in the dialogues it look much better
-add a quest ping on minimap

Gameplay:
-Gameplay is interesting
-what I liked is the pet thing, but here it would be nice if the pet follows (you can do it simply by using a buff)
-the bayonet thing is nice, but sometimes he doesn´t switch back
-and the bag doesn´t work!!! so I had to drop items to get the crystals, which only need one inventory space, but if you want to collect them you need more space ?!?!
-hunting mode was a nice idea
-what the hell is the fruit-market-stand for?
-and maybe make the trigger area around Thordin a bit bigger

Very nice keep it up!

- I started this map a long time ago (before i was any good at terraining) so thats why there are blizz cliffs..
- The secret is meant so that if you find it, you can just refuse to buy the info from the guy.
- The crystal part was one of the bugs i couldn't fix, the bag just screwed up that quest, the only solution i found was to disable the bag during that quest :/
- Fruit market is just a decoration, dunno, that area seemed a lil empty without it.

As for the others, i could fix those.

Anything new here, are you still working on the project?

 

[johannesr]

I was away for a bit + taking a break from wc3 modding.

Okay made some updates:
- lowered the trees at the start cinematic
- changed the treasure quest, can't get the treasure without the quest now
- pet now follows you
- a mutant body actually drops now
- some other small stuff

Some questions tho:
I couldn't find a way to ping the minimap for the player, could you tell me how?
When does the bayonet not switch back?

 

[Solaris]

The ping on minimap you can find under cinematic or video I think and its called ping minimap.
The bayonet-thing did work sometimes and sometimes it doesn´t...

 

[johannesr]

There are 3 bayonet functions:
- You can switch to the bayonet manually
- Automatically switches to bayonet when target is less than 200 range from you
- Automatically switches to bayonet when out of ammo

Are you sure it wasn't any of these?

 

[Solaris]

Hm now as I see the options, I think it was when you switch to the bayonet manually, but I am not totally sure....
