[syrusel]

Thanks for your feedback, it's appreciated. I'll look how I can fit these suggestions into the game, I like them

I'm really glad you like them, if you find it adequate I can help you with ideas for everything I've posted here, I just gave you a general thought but I've thought long and hard on many things, some are easy to do. If you need my "help" feel free to pm me and we can talk more. Good luck and patiently waiting for more! I want to see this map D/C.

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

Yeah, it sure deserves to be in DC after some fixing and adding.

 

[PUVer]

I have not seen you on the forum normal RPG like a Arcanum, Skyrim or Gothic. All RPGs are made ​​from the same script. The same model, same gameplay. Do you have a fantasy?But compared to other RPGs of this forum, this map is better.Gold is, but nowhere to spend.

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

LoL, normal RPG like skirim? Skirim is shit, not normal, normal RPGs are rogue-like.

 

[PUVer]

You do not understand about True RPG.

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

You haven't played rogue-likes I mean good ones, not modern crap.

[DrizztDoUrden]

Yeah, terraria is much more casual) Dungeon Crawl is easy enouh to play (though not to win )

Haven't added the last Act yet, so that's suppose to happen. The bridge will be blocked until it's released. Haven't had time the last few weeks to develop unfortunately so releasing Act III has been slowed a bit.

With some luck I'll get a balance/fix update out tomorrow and can then fully focus on Act III (on which I've begun, so some progress might be visible already in the next update )

Ok Thx for the quick reply. Keep up the good work.Love the map.

 

[Marsmallos]

Pretty fun map!

A couple of things I found:
It's almost impossible to play at a nice pace (without cheats) in single player, since the boss mobs own you.

If you kill the "Greedy" horse guy before the Taskmaster guy in the bandit mines (in my case I missed the Taskmaster mob and just encountered the Greedy guy first) you cannot continue since the requirement to kill the Greedy guy only pops up after you've killed the Taskmaster

Other than that, stunning terrain and a nice concept, I will be playing this some more!

 

[jackphytoss]

Yeah, terraria is much more casual) Dungeon Crawl is easy enouh to play (though not to win )

so you are working on a RPGmap?whats the progress?

 

[jackphytoss]

haven't added the last act yet, so that's suppose to happen. The bridge will be blocked until it's released. Haven't had time the last few weeks to develop unfortunately so releasing act iii has been slowed a bit.

nice!

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

In my sig there is a link to thread of that map. Progress is written there.

[DrizztDoUrden]

Thanks

By the way about paladin. Sleeping in battle is not OP - it is BUG USING.

Is this a reply to something? Resting shouldn't be possible in combat, or is there a bug I'm not aware of?

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

Some guy said some time ago that he was easy soloing d2 with pala guy (mage in mail) on 30(?) lvl cuz he was sleeping in battle.
Also have u fixed crit when off-hand from troll is in inventory and u try to upgrade an item?

 

[13lackAce]

Some guy said some time ago that he was easy soloing d2 with pala guy (mage in mail) on 30(?) lvl cuz he was sleeping in battle.

yeah i have said i can make d2 in 6player settings with lvl 30 really easy, so easy i "could" sleep and not that my hero was asleep in fight


BTW shadow dagger is still bugged, if u kill the creep with it, it dont cost mana and has no cd
And the Blacksmith in the first town has the spell "Vampiric Swarm" and u can kill yourself and allies with it
And "Mark of the Wild2 is bugged, it lasts forever, even after death

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

Oh lol, sorry for misunderstanding you. But as I already said - any mage can do it easily.

 

[yuvixadun]

Also have u fixed crit when off-hand from troll is in inventory and u try to upgrade an item?

What is exactly the bug here? The offhand gives crit damage, not crit chance.

Redownload the map now, just uploaded a hotfixed version for these issues

And "Mark of the Wild2 is bugged, it lasts forever, even after death

Okay, thanks. Will look into it.

 

[13lackAce]

Aura of Peace is bugged too, she gives the own hero a dmg buff, it saids it only gives enemies -10% dmg.

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

-.- it ruins WC3 - WC3 crashs. Critical error.

Are you guys using save codes from a previous version?
I've just tested both things and the bugs don't occur. Maybe the item/ability is bugged due to a save/load issue.

Gaias Retaliation without the Job promotions and a bit of seasoning and spices. All in all, not a great game, its your average RPG and its fairly easy. The most challenging part is probably D1 and we did it with 2 people, once we got to level 18, the rest of the game was a breeze. And the exploits are all over the place, the gamble system is silly, I swear to god there is like a total of 25 items in the entire game? Wtf is that?

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

Lol, guy, it is just not finished. Just it is much more notfininished then gaias)))
And to be honest classes in gaias are pure shit. Wtf my rogue can't wear axes? Wtf my monk can't wear leather armor?!
About difficulty - yes, I agree - it is too easy.
And it is not just average, average are tons of popular but shitty maps like twilght eve and maps like that.

There are more then 100 unique equipable items in this game. Just don't farm the same creep for 15 minutes because most creeps only drop 4 different items

I'm sorry this isn't the game you're looking for. I never intented to make some uber game like Gaia's, it's only me developing and creating such games takes more people.

If you could elaborate on the exploits some more I could maybe fix them for next update.

Difficulty should be increased I agree, will look into it for next update.

 

[13lackAce]

yeah i use a old load code from the peace aura, i will try to reequip the spell next time i play

 

[EternaLife]

Hi yuvixadun.

Just wondering if Act II has been complete yet?

Cheers...

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

Yes, Act II was finished long time ago.

 

[EternaLife]

Yes, Act II was finished long time ago.

So the amethyst quest is now working properly? Or will that quest only be working once Act III is completed?

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

I am sorrry, I don't remember

 

[yuvixadun]

So the amethyst quest is now working properly? Or will that quest only be working once Act III is completed?

It will be completed when act III is released sorry.

 

[EternaLife]

It will be completed when act III is released sorry.

Ah thats right, I am sure you told me before, I just forgot.

Do you have any estimation when Act III will be completed?

 

[muzzel]

How do you get skillpoints?

I got one and learned fireball. But i did lots of quests and reached the elven vilag, but didnt get any more...
And when i unlearn Knuckles/Fireball the spell is gone but i dont get any skillpoins.
Its just weird, lvl 12 and only 2 spells!?


€: OK nvm, only bossquests give SP (which i didnt manage to kill in solo game)

You used a bow by any chance? Try reequiping it and your lost spell should pop up again. Working on a fix for that issue, only happens once.

If you do some quests involving bosses you should get skill points. There are quite a few spells to pick from in the first two villages.

Im happy and honored you tried my map

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

Casting progress bars disappear sometimes...
By the way if you will watch a replay you will get savefiles of all (maybe 1, I don't remember) players, cuz local player works in replays not exactly as you want)
Warcraft was frozen and crashed again when I tried to that bone misc.
Improved troll off-hand can't be saved.

 

[muzzel]

Lots of (imp) items dont save, i think Sheep100 sent you a list.

 

[yuvixadun]

Yeah. Did you guys use save codes from the version prior 12.06.12 ?

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

In version 12.06.12 they don't save too. E.g. bone misc from D2. Having it or tp scroll in inventory makes u getting an empty code even with no error.

 

[Sheep]

Yeah. Did you guys use save codes from the version prior 12.06.12 ?

my code is from version 12.05.28 but does that matter?

 

[muzzel]

we played 12.06.12 and my code was from 12.06.12 too.

 

[yuvixadun]

Odd, thanks for reporting all.
Will look into this.

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

By the way some ideas:
1) Give bosses some 1shot aoe non-target skills with mb long casting
2) Make D2 harder. Seriously. And bigger.
3) Make healer and mage separated. Maybe healer with some kind of mace or smth?
4) Nerf mana and hp bonus from stats, they are too big, mage can't waste mp, str guys have 5 times more hp then everyone.

after loading u get creep buff

 

[yuvixadun]

Tried latest version? Most bosses got a new unique ability (some like that).
Will keep it in mind for new bosses though.

2) Make D2 harder. Seriously. And bigger.

Harder I can do, bigger probably won't happen. You'll just have to wait till D3

3) Make healer and mage separated. Maybe healer with some kind of mace or smth?

True, this causes some imbalance, but it isn't easy to seperate the two. Healer/Mage combo would have low hp though.

4) Nerf mana and hp bonus from stats, they are too big, mage can't waste mp, str guys have 5 times more hp then everyone.

Might have to nerf mana regen to give mana a purpose. HP is fine I think.

after loading u get creep buff

Already got that one fixed in the new version.
