Why don't you join up on that new forum

 

[scorpion182]

guys i'm making a new map, currently working brainstorm item and hero ideas, for more information about the project, visit the forum

I will need some testers, Beta testers are the most important ones, for example, rebalance can never be tested without them .

thanks~~

 

[scorpion182]

get ready people, Grand Battle II is on the way!

 

[Wright]

[DoOs_101]

Ah Grand Battle is finally back! Loved the original..but..this new version for 1.24.. Not a big fan, bring back the classic version

well its like an almost completely new map!
i guess its getting way better in the future versions...so think of this like a new beta vers =P

 

[Sakura_Kasugano]

Ah man I hope so..needs more heroes and the new rounds thingy should be a game mode. Also whats with the 2v2v2v2? Okies I'm done ranting now, sorries.

 

[Wright]

Hmm I was ichigo and the bankai flicker thingy went off as the round ended, and when it went back to the shop area, I wasn't invuln. I think you should be able to zoom out more, and I don't really like how you get all your skills from the start. Other then that, just need more heroes and items (and maybe a FFA mode!).

 

[Dr Super Good]

Such a complex ranking system.... What is to stop people cheating?

I could just extract the code generator from the map and get it to generate all kinds of hideously large values.
Basically who says you actually need to play a game for you to enter your code from the site and get a new one to submit to it. Just extract those parts of the map and combine them together.

Really, what is the point of such ranking systems.

 

[Hamsamwich]

i just started playing, and why are there so few?

 

[Sakura_Kasugano]

I say it needs to be re-done..and make it how the old one was. Not saying its a HORRIBLE map but..just needs work. It doesn't feel like Grand Battle, but more like Super Smash Brothers..

 

[EMPerror]

there is a bug with subzero. If you transform into a bear while in the shop area, you turn vulnerable, and you can be killed. Also, i think you switched the hotkeys for animality and frozen rain thingy (i pressed R and it used animality, instead of the rain thingy)

dunno if someone already mentioned it though

 

[Hamsamwich]

i am starting to get the feeling that patch 1.24 had no real purpose besides killing many a games and trying to push people towards blizzards new games, because i assume they can't legally just kill wc3 battlenet

oh and i played, i get the feeling bomberman is bad

 

[EMPerror]

yep, 1.24 barely has any real purpose... however it does have one - killing the wc3 virus.

anyway, back to the map...

Bomberman is really, really weak. Bombs barely do any damage. Sure they also barely have any cooldown but it really isnt worth it - your mana is wasted by the time you are able to deal "some" damage. I'd rather have the burst damage of king kong (barel-banana-charge-punch combo) than a minor constant damage which results in barely any effect. I'd say give bombs more damage & add 2 different abilities for frost and fire bombs.

And as i said, you should fix the metamorphosis bug with subzero (and Ichigo i guess), but i also got a bug with the digimon. I used the gaia (or something) spell (you know, the big black ball one), and it turned me vulnerable.

Also, i personally dislike the current item system - i think the previous one was better (the one with combining the same item) . Now it kinda looks like a bunch of tossed in items.

(oh, and the invulnerable potions are really imba, and not to mention the invisible thingig)

And yeah, FFA... deffinitely

Bugs and suggestions aside, i think this is a great map . When the battle starts it is massive xD . I really like it, it is really fun. Gets a well deserved 5/5

 

[Dr Super Good]

1.24 adds a lot more than most people think. . .

Hashtables and native H2I are well worth any problems (as all problems can be fixed).

 

[Sakura_Kasugano]

Old version/style still > New chaotic one -_-;

Lol, really its the only ranking system other than a ghost bot to SQL...

If I'm mistaken, can you post to another place that has web ranking linked with in-game ranking that does not use ghost bot?

Bugs

I found some bugs:
1. When pikachu use volt tackle, dummy that cast volt tackle and pikachu can be dragged and can be moved, if you want to see it, look my attached screen shot.
2. AI can, cast spell to invisible player precisely, AI also follow invisible player.
3. When sub-zero use animality in shop area, he is vulnerable.
4. Sometimes, when someone choose random and get hero, there is some chance that other people (when he/she use random) can get same hero.

Please fix this

 

[EMPerror]

Major bug with King Kong : His banana skill doesnt have any cooldown... at all!
Well, atleast not in a game i played with AI 5 mins ago

 

[DoOs_101]

AI needs to be fixed.

And somehow the game seems to be really concise for each round, gets confusing.

 

[Sakura_Kasugano]

..Or just get rid of the round thing for good

 

[scorpion182]

UPDATED!

v2.01

- Players no longer can cast spells in shop area.
- AI players can't detect the invisible units now.
- Pikachu no longer can be controlled while casting volt tackle.
- Fixed banana throw's cooldown :))
- Reworked Bankai: Tensa Zangetsu.
- Replaced Animality with Ice Slide.
- Reduce ice ball and ice clone freeze duration.

 

[light bolt30]

this map is really good

 

[jim7777]

nice AI for Grand Battle........

I hope my map has an AI too xD

 

[Sakura_Kasugano]

Telling ya...the old one is still superior in every way..

 

[EvilKnight]

I have always had a love hate relationship with this map, it has good models and all my favorite heroes but when i see the spells I'm bored out of my mind, the only spell that i think looks fitting is Samus' best spell. When it comes to hero arenas with me, i need uber spells like fight of characters type spells. These ones bore me. Not only are they boring but they usualy kinda suck for how hard they are to use (especialy kamehameha and spirit bomb)

 

[DoOs_101]

You should consider reworking the round and arena gameplay. Add more flexibility in game modes allowing players to select a variety of ways to battle and have fun, other than just fighting for a brief period and mass casting spells.

i'll improve the spells, especially the special effect things

well i'll add more game modes then

 

[Byaku]

Screen Shots in map description needs to be change

 

[scorpion182]

Screen Shots in map description needs to be change

those don't need to be changed, because i'll bring back the former arena . I'll make 2 game modes: brawl mode and classic mode

 

[scorpion182]

UPDATED!~9 Oct 2009

v2.02

- New Items.
- Players can choose game modes now.
- Fixed ice ball bug.
- Fixed Volt Tackle bug.
- Added statistic board when the game finished.

Ps: Once the refinements are done (fixing bugs, balancing etc. etc.), I'll be adding new heroes, modes, items, improve AI (to Build items,Retreat, etc.).

Bug

I found bug:
Donkey Kong's and Black Wargreymon's spell that knock back enemy (I forget the name), knockback allies too (The spell knock back allies too).

 

[FrozenFenrir]

hm i played the new version and...it still doesnt feal as much fun as the old versions =/
bring back those recipes, upgradeable items and upgradable skills( u know when u lvl up...the the usual way)

oh and u might wanna change bombermans main attribute to int cause thats the only thing he need =X(i would appreaciate to buff him a lil more too)

 

[shadonavan]

First let me say i LOVED this game. Loved as in not anymore....When i say that there was a new version i DLed it right away. then i played it.......As some have said b4 old version is MUCH better. I still like this map though dont get me wrong i would give it 3.5/5 and the older version would get 4.5/5!

 

[scorpion182]

it's supposed to knockback allies and enemies, but only do damage to enemies, if not like that the caster will get stuck when crashes allies.

i'll add those systems later . And i though bomberman main attribute is int, my bad it's agi

don't worry, i'll add heroes, and some new content?

and don't forget you can choose to play in classic mode (the former arena) or in brawl mode (the fast-paced one)

 

[Byaku]

Make the collision to zero?

 

[scorpion182]

Make the collision to zero?

then it will probably make new bugs and glitches, like stuck on the crystals (like vivi did) , or the caster can go out arenas, etc.

 

[sethyboy0]

What the hell?

I downloaded an updated version of the map, and its so crap now.

The AI sucks now, the terrain sucks, the hero selection sucks (seems like half are missing), the items suck (only items you can ever afford are tomes), and basically all the other good points about the map are gone!

Did you upload the wrong map or something?

did you download the v2.02? you can choose the former arena, and i will add more features later

 

[DoOs_101]

Cool I've seen alot of improvements.

I'll add to download section when you finish the next update.

Also I advice to fix this issue:

I noticed that this game has a marginal imbalance. When a team wins, its margin is greater, therefore making other teams almost impossible to beat it after 2-3 consecutive wins.

How about add a system, where if your hero dies, you lose gold and the killer gains gold. However, the amount of gold you lose is greater when you have consecutive wins.

 

[scorpion182]

currently working on duel jutsu II, after i finish it, i'll continue to improve this map again

 

[shadonavan]

oh hey i didnt realize you made this to scorpion. i must say i did like the older arena version better though....

 

[G_master]

I can't open the map.The player names and colours will not be shown, instead, the names and colours of the game I played last will show up.(e.x.: After I played Dota, the forces still show scourge and seninel)also,When I press start game, the game doesn't start, can anyone help me in this?

 

[Wright]

Do you have the latest patch?
