Hero Contest #3 - Avatar

[Freyleyes]

Avatar

The contestants must create an avatar of them selves. The Avatar must be in the form of a Warcraft 3 Hero. Your Avatar must have 4 spells, each spell must have 3 - 4 levels(Ultimate only requires 1 level). One of the abilities must be an Ultimate ability (Level 6 Ability), and your Avatar must have 1 passive skill.(The passive skill may be your ultimate skill)

Your hero's name must be your Hive Workshop forum name, or a link to it.

If you are uncertain about the theme or what is meant by avatar, please read this :

Avatar

You must make your self as an Warcraft 3 hero. (This has nothing to do with Avatar the movie with the Na'vi or Avatar, the last Airbender.)

It is just like a normal hero contest, except that you have to create your self.

Example :

I think what he means and making yourself in WarCraft. Like...

Deolrin
Troll Fanatic

1) Avatar: The hero takes the form of a random Loa god, gaining benefits dependent on the god.
2) Voodoo Doll: The hero creates a voodoo doll of a target hero. This enables the hero to use potions or weapons in order to harm or heal the target. Potions used to heal an ally disappear on use while weapons used to damage a target have a long cooldown but stay in the inventory. Damage depends on the weapon.
3) Dance of War: The hero's fighting style involves dance-like movements, enabling him to dodge attacks and gain a timed bonus to speed from enemy attacks. Passive ability.
4) Rage: While the ability is active, the hero gains 200% bonus attack speed and 15 damage points, but loses 3% of his current life per second and suffers from an armor change to Unarmored and loses 2 armor. Ultimate ability.

and

Not your actual forum image avatar. More like... What represents you when it comes to the Hive. Say Misha likes Naga, so he'll be a Naga hero. Say General Frank likes tanks and modeling so he'll be a modeling tank or something.

Note:
Your hero does not have to have your characteristics, personality or anything like that, It should be the way you would like to be represented as an hero in warcraft.

[xD.Schurke]

so let it begin... good luck to all participants

 

[Freyleyes]

Good luck to each and every one entering. A special thanks to py and the judges.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Ah, finally ^^

Good luck to all!

 

[Catch_ya]

Is it okay to use stuff like xe(projectile) also should strength, agility and intelligence be balanced with the normal warcraft 3 heroes?

(I might join later)

 

[Kwah]

This is a terrible theme. It's totally un-restrictive, meaning I can justify basically any hero as "my avatar". The heroes that do "represent you when it comes to the Hive", will be absolute shite, or not actually in accordance with the theme.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

It's approved, so it's too late now

 

[xD.Schurke]

Is it okay to use stuff like xe(projectile) also should strength, agility and intelligence be balanced with the normal warcraft 3 heroes?

(I might join later)

first xe isn't allowed and of course there should be some kind of balance for your hero, since the hero should be balanced for melee maps

 

[Pharaoh_]

So, our hero can have 4 active skills too?

Before you start complaining, not all of the melee maps' heroes have 3 active skills and 1 passive. There also heroes, who have full active skills, e.g. Lich, Blood Mage, Warden, Dark Ranger, Alchemist, Naga Sea Witch, Firelord, Beastmaster, Far Seer, Shadow Hunter. They are too many to ignore this fact.

 

[Cpt.ZnacK]

i Think ill play this one
My Hero is going to be obvious...
i mean just look left and down at my avatar and sig...hahaha

 

[xD.Schurke]

of course you can have 4 active skills, 1 has to be an ultimate... but think before creating the spells: 4 damage spells won't be good for the balance.

 

[JokeMaster]

Ok i'm joining with the SLAYER

 

[bigapple90]

agreed. almost as bad as the Christmas theme suggested for the texture competition.

 

[HailFireer]

I'll try to make something. Hope that jass wont be too important ^^

 

[Bloodemon]

who can make a fat model !Idea! I can use abomination

 

[Kwah]

agreed. almost as bad as the Christmas theme suggested for the texture competition.

There is nothing wrong with a christmas theme.

 

[D.E.A.T.H]

Rogash Firefall,Orc Berserker(Blademaster)
D.E.A.T.H
-Hunger of Blood-
When activated,Hero becomes bigger and stronger also he gets a buff "Flaming Fury"(When hero attacks a target,attacked unit has to chance to being stunned,damaged per second or slowed) but mana drops zero and also regeneration too.
-Blood of Olds-
When being cast,Hero becomes bigger,damages units around him and summons group of Spirits,but losses %75 of his life and disable regeneration for 1 min.It is a risky skill.
-Red Skinned-
It is a passive ability.When an unit attacks hero,attacked unit will have a chance(%5) to be ownered by you for 10 second.Also when it happens,all enemies around him attack ownered unit.Passive Ability.
-Black In Back-
When activated,hero gets two attachment.Two black wing on his back and a Sword(Dark Arrow).Hero raises all dead units around him in a certain range(Include Enemies),Hero becomes very much stronger,but he cant use abilities and items also,lose %1 hp per 2 seconds.Ultimate Skill.

 

[Luffy]

I'll try my best. I will post my wip soon.

 

[The World Is Flat]

well i don't think that the warcraft engine can handle my Pure AWSOMENESS. no i'm not in.

and please Pharaoh_ Let ppl dream.

 

[Kercyn]

NO BLOODY WAY! This is EXACTLY what I had in mind! I was thinking about submitting a spellpack in which my W3 self featured! Hell I'm in!

One question: I plan on making a stand-alone hero, not a melee one. How can you count "balance" on that? I guess he'll be judged as an AoS hero or something, not a melee one.

 

[Darkyvm]

Been waiting a long time for this, now I can finally say:

I'm in.

Good luck everybody.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

hmmm. I may join if so:
Forgotten_Warlord (Can you use an alternate name?)
Goblin(My model[High Poly if I finish it before this ])
Class Type: Barbaric/Warrior like

Descriptions will be altered
Spells/Abilities:
Reckless Charge - Charges at the enemy unit at high speeds causing knock back and damage.

Back Swing - Activates after dealing damage, gives a chance to strike 1,2,3 targets in front of the caster.

Roar of Vengence - Causes all units in a 300 yard radius to be pulled into the caster, and then knocked back out. Also buffing the caster increasing damage slightly.

Revenge(Ultimate) - Goes into a rampage moving at extreamly high speeds dealing a huge amount of damage to all units around the caster also if Roar of Vengence is active then your hero has a chance to cause the enemy units to bleed over time.

Not sure if combos are allowed, wish I could have more then 4 abilities though

 

[Pyritie]

No, they will all be judged as melee heroes

 

[Duruka]

I'm in. I'll try to make a Twilight Master (http://www.wowwiki.com/Twilight_Master) . Except he'll have different spells, and be an orc.

 

[Sephalo]

I like hero contests.
I dont like the theme.

 

[Kingz]

This is a terrible theme. It's totally un-restrictive, meaning I can justify basically any hero as "my avatar". The heroes that do "represent you when it comes to the Hive", will be absolute shite, or not actually in accordance with the theme.

agreed. almost as bad as the Christmas theme suggested for the texture competition.

The previous hero contest didn't even have a theme afaik...

Anyway i am in...

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

We've already had the whole theme argument, deal with it if your going to enter, it's not changing.

On that note, I'm entering

 

[spencenator]

hmm, interesting, a chance to use all of those projectile systems i've been developing. I'm in.

NOTE: i'll be using my war3 account name, Aw_Fiddlesticks, as the base

 

[Kingz]

NOTE: i'll be using my war3 account name, Aw_Fiddlesticks, as the base

You must use your THW account name.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

You must use your THW account name.

hmm how about using the account name as a title?

 

[Kingz]

I thought this clarified enough:

Your hero's name must be your Hive Workshop forum name, or a link to it.

The hero must have your THW forum name...as simple as that...

 

[spencenator]

Oh, my account name? meh, you rained on my parade. Oh well, i think of something...

Btw, it says in the rules to post any systems used, where do you want them posted?

 

[Kingz]

I would guess here, or send them to the judges via PM/VM.

EDIT:

I doubt you will be allowed the usage of the missile/projectile systems you mentioned since they are counted as large systems, but you never know.

 

[Pyritie]

Just in this thread

 

[spencenator]

The "system" is just a base 2 triggers, i have to make a new set of the two for each projectile. It's not really a universal "system", just a kind of base i follow for projectile triggering. Think that will be okay?

 

[Pyritie]

Could you post it?

 

[Deaod]

Think that will be okay?

You might not get in conflict with the rules (although i cant tell, so dont take my word for it), but you will most certainly get into problems with cleanliness of code as youre copying code over, instead of doing the right thing and generalizing those triggers.

 

[spencenator]

mmk, here is the test map for my new ideas, most of them use the projectile system.

View attachment bomb.w3x

NOTE: with the hero, serpent ward spawns an ion cannon strike, the earthquake is the flamethrower. Bombs must be spawned manually with editor

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

Consider me in.

Darkmoon Hero
Technomage
(Probably using the Rifleman model, undecided here)

Pox Box - Throws out the Pox Box that can create either a cloud of poisonous gas (DoT), an EMP burst (mass mana drain over time), a shower of flames (Randomized AoE damage), or a blast of ice and snow (damages and slows).

Lightning Generator - Creates a bolt of arching lightning that will randomly bounce between targets, dealing damage. (It can bounce to the same target more than once, and more than once in a row)
If a unit is struck by Lightning Generator and has the Poison Gas buff, the gas ignites, removing the buff but adding a more powerful flame DoT.
If a unit is struck by Lightning Generator and has the EMP buff, the lightning instantly burns X more mana.
If a unit is struck by Lightning Generator and has the Iced buff, the ice shatters, dealing heavy damage and freezing them in place for X seconds.

Static Charge - Each pellet launched by the Technomancer's "Raider Gun" leaves a static trace. Each consecutive attack on the same target builds up the static, and after X attacks it will burst in a swirling vortex of electricity that deals damage to enemies. (Passive)

Technomastery - When activate, the next spell casted by the Technomancer has a greater effect.
Pox Box -
- The gas is more concentrated, drenching enemies in poison. Any attacks that open wounds will let the poison into their bloodstream, dealing increased damage.
- The EMP also knocks enemies unconscious, stunning them until they're attacked.
- The Flame Shower leaves the ground burning, dealing heavy damage over time.
- The box leaves the ground covered in ice, slowing movement speed of all who walk on the ground for a long duration.
Lightning Generator - Doubles the number of bounces.

If there is a violation of some sort in here, please notify me. Also, no systems are being used. About downloaded resources, I'm not sure yet.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Nice, found an awesome model I might use for my submission (Pyramidhe@d does do a great job with models)

[Chewii]

Sounds fun i got to test my skills.. Well im in.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

My entry

Well! I saw this last night, and immediately started working, so you can get a WIP now...

I'm a Makrura seashell creature, etc. Water spells + hard shell. I have ideas for the remaining spells. I have focused on getting very few triggers, and simply just using the object editor to make as good looking an entry as possible. The trigger editor is mainly going to help out sfx-style.

Question:

Hero 'name' - is it the unit name, or the randomized hero name strings?

- currently, it's randomized between 'Gamecrafter_DK' and 'The_Clam' which is the name I use for my maps, as creator and such... So I think it's link enough.

[Forgotten_Warlord]

I think so as long as they are approved models on the hive or wc3c

 

[xD.Schurke]

as long as you give credits to the creator

 

[s4nji]
