Hero Contest #2 - HQ Hero

[dansaDisco]

lol. Rly? Didnt saw
12 pm, what timezone?

Oh, and that thing is not correct. I am GMT + 1 and its 8:59 here. Not 7:59
They didnt change to summer time counting.

You really don't understand, do you?

The contest ends at the FIRST OF JULY (tomorrow) At 11:59 PM GMT.

GMT IS THE SAME THE YEAR AROUND.
It NEVER changes.
No matter if it's summer or winter, GMT is the same.
if you want to see when 11:59 GMT tomorrow is, check this clock. THE TOP ONE.

And NO, British local time is NOT the same as GMT.

 

[xD.Schurke]

Maps take longer to judge, especially if they need to be played on Battle.net.

hm , yep but why you mention it? it's not a map contest^^

 

[Billy the Cat]

They will have to test hero balancing too
It's not just about the spells huh?

 

[xD.Schurke]

yes sure, but this can be tested in another way : You calcualted damage done etc... hp of units... cooldown and mana costs

 

[Kingz]

I don't know about that, i pointed out the good and bad sides of my hero in the readme trigger.
Example, xD.Schurke's and mine heroes are magic dependant and they need a valid target for their spells, a Mountain King activates avatar, and he wins cause of magic immunity and high damage nukes.
On the other hand some combat based heroes can get easily killed by a good supported army(Keeper of the grove with an army is an example).
So i think you can sort the heroes in 2 categories:
1.support
2.assault

One is good against the other and vice versa, depends on the situation.

 

[Billy the Cat]

My hero is a support hero
Thing is that it also got a spell that gives you gold (but well there are a few spells that give gold)

 

[Kingz]

Your hero for instance is easily countered by the Archmage hero.
Your hero casts the alchemist stone and the archamge can only teleport his army leaving your spell noone to drain money from

 

[Billy the Cat]

Kinda like the weakness of Flame Strike
Also if your enemy has a unit with Chaos damage like the Infernal he can easily kill the stone.
Most of the spells on my hero share that weakness.

 

[Kingz]

Well, ofc, balance

 

[Billy the Cat]

About 30 submissions and 1 day to go and I think a lot of people would use that time to fix before submitting if they aren't just updating submissions...
Is that something usual?

Even if a hero got lower quality spells it will have to be judged at least so it's kinda difficult to skip some

Now imagine this were a poll...

 

[Kingz]

Well all submisions should get reviewed fully and fair.
Though i really think that some submisions are a joke

 

[M4stah]

Like which? ;D. I just hope JASS'ers aren't going to steal all prices

 

[Kingz]

Not talking about that

There are a few submisions that look like they have been made in 5 minutes

 

[Billy the Cat]

Like which? ;D. I just hope JASS'ers aren't going to steal all prices

Nah we shouldn't give away names. Septimus
Let's just see how this turns out

 

[M4stah]

Judging will be fine. We have judges for that. And I think you refer to the object editor spells.

 

[Kingz]

To correct you, we have a judge, one judge - hvo.
EDIT:
A free tip, if you are using some nice effects like fire,explosions or any effect with lights in it make the test map start at midnight, the darker ambient will highlight the light effects making your spell look better.

You dont get it either do you. That clock is wrong. Its late 1 hour!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Billy the Cat]

23:45 left I think

 

[HailFireer]

I am GMT + 1
Curenmt time is 10:15
Contest time is GMT, so I just need to cut 1 hour off. Thats 9:15

That means 26:25 minutes to go.

 

[Svenn]

sign meh in

 

[Paladon]

Quite impressive, 30 entries so far.

 

[Kingz]

Does that really matter?
If you don't have a submision till now it's a slim chance you will have time to finish it.
Never leave stuff for the last day.

 

[Paladon]

Maybe some people are writing their tootlips after having their spells done
I guess there are going to be additional submissions.

 

[The World Is Flat]

i'd like to join

 

[Paladon]

You got just..some hours to finish it. Hurry if you're sure

 

[Anachron]

Well, its to late to join.
Paladon, whats up with you? Everything fine?
Btw, guys, I finished the fear spell!
Now its working 100%, faster, more efficent, more customizeable and easier to understand!
Because I don'T have enough time to finish this hero for the contest, I will release him as a spellpack.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Geeze!

 

[Paladon]

We should talk about that somewhere outside of the arena.
I guess i am loath seen here

 

[Kwah]

'tis not too late to join. How many of you honestly put more than 20 hours of work into your hero?

 

[Billy the Cat]

Billy the Cat

Although it was kinda afk/work progress

 

[Direfury]

Some random problems made it difficult for me to keep all of my original spells, which is really unfortunate.

 

[Deuterium]

The thing is... you've got to have no life to stay 20 hours straight working on WE

 

[Mage_Goo]

The thing is... you've got to have no life to stay 20 hours straight working on WE

I've been like that for 3 days ago.

P.S: I've updated my Hero, again

Are you really stupid or are you just messing with me? -_-

You live in Serbia. Normally, on the winters, you have GMT+1. Sure.

But now it's summer, so you're on GMT +2. Get it?

The clock on that page is probably the most correct clock that you'll find.
geez <_<

note to everyone else:
18 hours to go!

 

[Just_Spectating]

eh im sad i didnt join this

 

[Krarnal]

Hmm... Im not done yet... I have like 3 hours yet I should be able to do that.

 

[Anachron]

Billy the Cat

Although it was kinda afk/work progress

Wow, I needed 2 hours for just one spell, so I would totally beat that,
if I would have the time. Anyway, see ya. I will NOT be able to finish my hero, because I have seen this contest to late. Next time, I will hopefully have more then a week which I have fullplanned.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Updated the hero description with a How-to-play mini tutorial.

Cuz I have still plenty of work >_<"

 

[Billy the Cat]

Depends on where you live

Edit: yay Dutch

I think we both got till 10:59 PM, but I am not sure about it.

Could be that we got even 3 more hours (1:59 AM tomorrow).

 

[Kingz]

I needed about ~4 hours for coding and then ~2-3 hours of polishing the test map and the hero

Good thing is i am getting bettter at Jass coding much faster than before.
