Ideas/Suggestions

[takakenji]

Have a great idea? Maybe a resource to suggest? Just post your ideas and/or suggestions here!

An opening cinematic that would explain everything that's going on (lorewise) for each player.

 

[takakenji]

hm, good idea, i might do one of those azeroth wars style openings

 

[Teaspoon]

Iif we need an area for the cinematic or something I could fix one.

 

[takakenji]

naw, maybe just text instead, like in azeroth wars

 

[dead-man-walking]

AWS-style opening cinematic. I vote for that.

 

[takakenji]

yea, sounds good

 

[Evillizard]

I suggest giving each player a good-luck pie at the begining of the game

Hey I've been thinking and maybe we could do like this; I complete the terrain of Kalimdor and then you fix triggers, units, players, and everything that will be in Kalimdor. Then I terrain Eastern Kingdoms and you fix units, triggers etc for Eastern Kingdoms. Because terraining this map is hard work, since I have to make it look like WoW and that's not as easy as you might think it is. And the work you're going to do wont be easy either, so instead of me doing all the terrain now and leaving you with lots of work we can do like this instead. Then I'll have a break while you do yours and you'll have a break when I start terraining.
This way everyone will be active and it will also be easier for me to change things, I'm quite sure that some things I'll have to change for you might decide that you want a boss place over there and a tower over there or something like that. And then when we're ~100% complete with Kalimdor we'll move on to the next continent and do the same thing.

 

[takakenji]

that's a good idea, send it to me when you're done with Kalimdor and i'll work on the units

Great, I'll start working with Mulgore now, oh and could you make a Mulgore tree? Like the ones in WoW with not too many leaves and rather tall.

EDIT: We got a problem... If Northrend will be in the map there will be almost no space for it. Kalimdor is too big. And if I would resize Kalimdor it would be too small I can hardly fit in Eastern Kingdoms and then there will be almost no space between kalimdor and eastern kingdoms.

 

[takakenji]

fuck, you're right, kalimdor is too small

just make it smaller, i have no idea what you mean if you resize it it would be too small because if its too big that means it HAS to be smaller.

 

[Teaspoon]

Ya I know but it takes up too much space but still if I make it smaller some areas would be ridiculously small.
So right now it's too big yes, for the map. But it's big enough for the continent if you know what I mean. Resizing it would make some areas extremely small.
But I got another idea; I can (with some hard work) move the entire continent down so there will be space for northrend and eastern kingdoms. But are there any southern regions of kalimdor and eastern kingdoms that don't have much to do with tha game? Cause then I can save alot of space if they're removed and only the middle and northern parts are shown.

 

[takakenji]

k, you can move kalimdor down.

make sure you leave SOME space in the corners though because remember we have to add outland and xoroth and argus

 

[Teaspoon]

Suggestion: it would be cool if there were floating texts that at each region that shows who's controlling the area. For example Player 1 RED controls Durotar: Floating red text: Durotar and when it's not captured it's white.

 

[dead-man-walking]

...Or make something that represent them, such as invulnerable signs.

 

[Teaspoon]

The point is to show who's controlling the area.

 

[Biggrouse]

the problem with the floating text is, with pretty much all of the floating texts i know, you can see it from anywhere... it would be an issue if you could know who has what without even being there

 

[Teaspoon]

True, but something that indicates who's controlling which area would be good I'd say.

 

[Evillizard]

You should make it so a pie hovers above places not owned and a pie with a bite out of it with places not owned

 

[takakenji]

-.-....

 

[Teaspoon]

Evillizard read the Poll thread so that I don't have to go through with this again.

 

[Teaspoon]

taka, I need a Tauren rope bridge for Mulgore, if you can't make it I can do it in milkshape but it would save me some time if you could.

 

[takakenji]

i should already have one, check the custom models

 

[Teaspoon]

If you mean the log bridge, that's not what I'm looking for. But I might aswell make one if I really need.

 

[Evillizard]

How strong the heroes exactly? I recall you saying the battles being large-scaled and the heroes being a powerful war-machine in comparison, but I suggest making heroes either very strong damage-wise but weak armor/hp wise, or the other way around, to make it so although they change the tide of battle they require following units to come with them or they will be useless.

 

[takakenji]

the heroes will won't be super overpowered and be able to solo armies like in glory of the horde, but they wont be super weak so they can be targeted by ranged. they're in the middle but will definently change the tide of battle and will have many AOE attacks

 

[Evillizard]

hmmm

If you need islands, maybe you can borrow the map I made for the PRS tournament and remove the gold mines and hostile nagas (so proud of myself) because I was instructed by The_Weird_Human to make the map.

Oh, and maybe I may as well help with other maps such as northrend-ish maps and such. I might be able to trigger a little... like changing units from passive to make it your units in the region.

Another great idea might be some kind of items that is used as spells (Example: Thorn of the Ancients damage enemies with 200 mile radius).
