Infected Zombies v2.3

[danielwalk]

Ohhhh sweeet it's a new update! oh my!

 

[vuf1]

Cheers on the new hunter pet AI, way easier to play when pets actually listen. Also, completed the v2.2. couple moments ago and found bugs.

First bug you have here. Solved the puzzle but then random human peasants started to spawn whenever I clicked "rotate". http://postimg.org/image/7fyz11j3l/

Second bug I don't have the picture so I'll try to explain it to the best of my ability. Went to the waterfall to fill the bottle. Forgot to pick it up, the bottle, so I randomly clicked on the Ashbringer (uncommon version) and got the filled bottle but lost the Ashbringer. Now I don't know if that was suppose to happen or not but just in case.

All in all great map Really hope for the future improvements you make.

Edit.

If I may ask, but is there by any chance a legendary bow in this map? Couldn't even find one to craft with the legendary weapon material (the legendary + gold bars one).

I got a legendary bow from the puzzle. You get a random legendary from it.

Hmm, got the axe couple of times so far. But cheers mate will try again, hopefully it will drop sooner or later.

 

[WarLord69]

The campaing works fine,but when i pick the bandit it will automaticly pick me the lycan.

 

[vuf1]

Also, think the save code in the newest version is "broken". Used the same code in two different games. First got an archer max upgrade, next time got the healer merchant. Think that isn't supposed to happen. D:

[a45a]

great map! love the gameplay and the feeling of realism in the game!
playing it since version 1.8 (playing now version 2.2.2)


found this

played the Alchemy leveled up at 6 and buyed a Mercenary a monk i dont know if it matters also I saved the game (from the warcraft3 menu in game F10) then loaded it i dont know if that affects anything of the triggers or jass..
after i loaded the game at a time i used the skill "barky command" (potion-G and -R)the result was another the buffs didnt go to Barky but to the Monk..
here a screenshot

still playing.. love this game!
keep it up

edit: was playing and maked the same thing but this time the dog got the buffs even with the monk near.. it seems the dog was nearer to the alchemist and got the buffs or... Screenshot taken

(well all to normal but then i died and revived the pet and the Mercenary and the same bug appeared XD)
oh well i think its worth a check

 

[MagicLord]

Hi a45a,

I'm glad to hear you like my map and thanks for your bug report and for the screenshots. I'm going to investigate this bug and fix it in the next update.

 

[savinguptobebroke]

Enjoying the map so far however the gate repair doesn't rebuild the gate for the bottom town .
I'm playing as the ranger and my level 4 bear lost it's levels when it died and I resurrected it the icon still said it way level 4 but the bonus attributes were not given to it .
A warning for low heat would be nice as my brother keeps on dying because of it .

Edit : Loading doesn't seem to work for my ranger class as the game miss took it as a marauder class .
Also holding out against the zombies is a bit too hard latter in the game even with max defenses you can easily loose .

 

[DigaRW]

Hell yeah. A zombie RPG, I will use it for a sample.

 

[Vindeus]

Recently came across this game and something compelled me to play it multiple times with different classes. So I guess I quite like it However, there are numerous bugs that I noticed. Here's a list:


- It's very easy to sequence break with the main story quests. I say this because I did it twice in a row without realising what I did (incidentally my first and second time playing). If you complete the entire questline for the swamp area before you're told to go there, the priest will give quests in a weird order. I ended up with both "defeat Grand Necromancer" and "defeat Dark Lord" at the same time, while the "cultists in the swamp" quest was given to me after I beat the Dark Lord.

- The Gem Mine's entrance can become blocked before you walk inside, closing the mine off for the rest of the game.

- If Abbadon follows you into town and you try to hide from him inside the inn, he will walk out of the town's front entrance and through the swamp before circling back to the portal. At least I THINK that's where he goes, I always lose track of him once I'm out of the inn. In any case, he takes a LONG time.

- Ranger pets lose their bonus stats but keep their bonus rank after revival. Also, the frost wolf's first bonus HP doesn't apply properly (base HP is 610, after rank up it's still 610).

- Pets in general tend to run around a little bit before joining you in your fight, even when there's plenty of room to reach your target. This includes the Alchemist's pet.

- If you're fighting a target from a long range, your melee followers (both pets and mercenaries) have trouble sticking to the target. They keep trying to run back to you.

- For the frost wolf pet, its active ability tends to get overridden by its autoattack. I need to mash the ability button several times before it goes off.

- As Ranger, I had a mercenary and a pet. When I pressed the "Release Pet" button...my MERCENARY ran off and died. I couldn't release the pet.

- Socketing a gem into the Wizard's purple tier staff gives no additional stats.

- The Wizard's "R" ability when equipped with the Golden Staff sometimes doesn't heal my mercenary.

- My Lycan can't seem to level up his Paladin rank...quite sure I killed over 30 enemies after buying Paladin.


That's all I've found so far. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the game even with these issues. However, I'd also like to express some criticism about certain aspects of the game. You don't have to do anything with these, heck I could be wrong about some or all of them, but I personally think they're worth attention. They are as follows:

- The Wizard's spells have such a huge casting range that enemies don't even notice me when I'm casting on them. I can just kill enemies from afar with no consequences. This seems too exploitable to me, and makes playing as a Wizard too easy.

- The Alchemist's pet never improves. I find that this makes it mostly useless in the late game. I would personally like a buff for it.

- The Alchemist's Potion-X's side effects include instant death...I mean, I can appreciate risk-and-reward moves, but this is like playing Russian Roulette. I just end up never using that ability, which seems counter-intuitive for what should be the Alchemist's "ultimate" ability.

- The Golden Armor set gives ability power instead of any of Str, Agi, or Int, which makes it rather unusable for classes that actually make good use of their primary stat. For example, a Warrior using Golden Armor instead of their Mythril gear would lose a ton of Strength and therefore HP and HP regen. This would impact his tanking capabilities, and would also severely weaken his ultimate ability (which gets ALL its damage from the Warrior's HP).


Thanks for reading! Hope these bugs get patched up at least. Once again: I do like this game!

 

[MagicLord]

Hi Vindeus,

I'm glad to hear you like my Map Thanks for reporting bugs and writing some constructive criticism.

- I will fix the Main Quest chain order.
- Wizard ability range is a bit long so I will balance it.
- Alhemist: I will balance his abilities.
- Golden Armor will be tweaked.

 

[ed155]

[mustafo]

[witchdoctor]

Save code is invalid?

I played this map alone in the last few day, really enjoyed it, but when I reached lv9, I cant save anymore, dont know why, I didnt use cheats or let any village destroyed. Can somebody tell me how to solve this problem?

I had this problem when I had both a pet and a mercenary with me at the same time. If this wasn't the case with you, then I have no idea

 

[MagicLord]

Map updated to 2.2.3

Hey guys,

This update brings many bug fixes and some balance to the game. I hope you guys will enjoy it.

@withcdoctor
I sent you a PM please read it and also I will investigate this.

 

[witchdoctor]

yeah, that is my case,I played Ranger, but I remember I can save it on lv8. Its weird, right?

 

[Hantoo]

Im not sure why my warcraft cant load finish this, and it hangs my warcraft until i need to use cmd to close it :O

 

[Eldin HawkWing]

Nice Update ! 5/5!
This map is Very Cool..

 

[Vindeus]

Hey there, just decided to drop by and give some more feedback.


Bugs:

- Ranger pet abilities are bugged and decrease in level when the pet is revived. Stat bonus is fine.

- Ranger still experiences an invalid save code, but I think I know why this happens. I managed to save successfully when I had a pet that had not died and been revived yet. Once I revived my pet and its ability got bugged, I kept getting an invalid save code. So this issue definitely has something to do with the pet.

- Didn't report this last version and I'm not sure if this is still present in the current one, but items that have a 100% drop chance from respawning enemies disappeared once those enemies respawned, no matter where the item was (on the ground, in inventories, etc). Stuff like Ironwood from the Treants and Hyrda Scales from the Hydras.


Criticism:

- The Wizard can still cast spells without the enemy noticing him. Might need to decrease the range further or tweak how spells work so that they will actually cause aggro. The Ranger casts his spells from a similar distance but will aggro the enemy, so I think that's the way to go.

- It would be nice if the shops had that button that let you change customers. Shops will sometimes target my bag and it's a little annoying (especially when the bag is full).

- The Golden Armour set still feels off. I think it's entirely to do with the fact that it gives pure ability power. Strength heroes lose HP regen, and Agility heroes lose attack speed. Intelligence heroes on the other hand suffer no significant consequence since their primary stat doesn't affect combat (apart from giving them ability power). My suggestion would be to make three separate sets of Golden Armour, with each set giving Strength, Agility, or Intelligence.


Thanks for the updates, and hope to see more!

 

[MagicLord]

Hi Vindeus,

- I will fix pet ability level decrease when revived.
- Invalid save code for Ranger finally will be fixed thanks to @witchdoctor. The reason it's became invalid is the pet xp.
- Item despawn is a feature to prevent too many items at the same time so it will not cause any lag. I may craft them into items too fast but I never noticed that the items I interact with despawn but I will investigate it.

- Wizard: I will tweak it so enemies you attack will aggro.
- Shops: I will add a select customer button or try to find a way to override default selection. Sometimes it's really annoying when it's selects your bag instead of inventory.
- Golden Armor can heal you so this way when you are in combat it can mean much higher hp/s then regen.

 

[SafetyFirst]

Really Awesome and Nice game.

 

[deepstrasz]

It really has an interesting concept but could be a lot more fun than it is now.

-at night zombie dogs attack the heroes wherever they might be, even in the town
-spells should be stopped when moving the hero
-loading the game will result in quest givers rewarding only one item instead of two as the first time you play the game in two players
-enemy units don't regenerate if the players run from them far
-quests that were previously done before loading can be accepted but not finished. Some of them anyway
-neutral campfire doodads do not restore heat
-a Night Zombie was spawned in the northern river and couldn't move
-what's the use of protecting the south village? It's not like you can lose
-the down left corner of the map is blank, just flat land and grass
-it's silly and weird that some units appear only after a quest is given...
-villages are attacked without the heroes even going there once
-"humans, open the gate" but it was already opened and it closed and reopened
-the Animals shouldn't be allied with the Zombies
-it's a bad idea to start quests over after loading...

 

[Vindeus]

-enemy units don't regenerate if the players run from them far

I've played a lot of RPG maps and most of them don't regenerate their enemies' health. I do think this makes all those games a little too easy though.

-it's silly and weird that some units appear only after a quest is given...

This is a staple of the RPG genre (whenever questing is involved), it's not really much to complain about.

-villages are attacked without the heroes even going there once

I don't see a problem here. The heroes don't bring the trouble with them, the story is that the whole land is at risk of the infection, with or without the heroes. Heck, the game even starts with a cutscene of a town being attacked, and there were no heroes in sight.

-the Animals shouldn't be allied with the Zombies

Plenty of games have enemies that are just all against you, like carnivores teaming up with their prey or two warring factions ignoring each other to kill you. It's just for the sake of simplicity and balance (if your enemies killed each other the game would be too easy, not to mention the random loot lying around). I do think it would be good to put more distance between certain zombie areas and the boars. I'm trying to fight zombies but suddenly I aggro a boar or two which early on can result in my death.

-what's the use of protecting the south village? It's not like you can lose

I think this raises a fair point. It's possible to outrun the invasion if you quest fast enough, and even if you're too slow all the in-town questgivers get moved up to the last town if the other towns are lost. Nothing really happens if you lose all the towns, so really the invasion becomes a rather pointless side thing that you can choose to completely ignore. It might be nice to make the invasion have a bigger impact on the game.

 

[deepstrasz]

It's not a complaint. It makes it feel less real and cuts logic out.

There is a problem. The players are forced to start the game again after they finish the quests in one of the villages they're protecting because some quest givers of those attacked places are killed.

They could just be neutral to each other so attacking a boar won't bring a zombie to help it.

 

[Vindeus]

What I meant was that it's simply not worth mentioning since most quest-driven games demonstrate this break in reality, including popular commercial games.

There is a problem. The players are forced to start the game again after they finish the quests in one of the villages they're protecting because some quest givers of those attacked places are killed.

That's less of a problem and more of a punishment for playing too slow and not fighting off the invasion. Some of the questgivers get moved to the last town if the other towns are lost. All questgivers in the last town will remain there even if the town itself is overrun by the invasion. Most importantly, the questgivers for the main story cannot be lost. If you really manage to lose a questgiver before finishing their quest, then their quest wasn't very important. The entire concept of failing quests isn't a new thing, just deal with it.

 

[gusanomental]

Lycan was a great add. Some things I found:

-'Box of wool' has a wrong description.
-Players can pick up tents with heroes inside making them temporary 'hidden'.
-As Lycan, morphing inside a tent counts as a death.
-Some zombies spawn underwater.

 

[Warseeker]

Hum, I remember this game, I used to play it before, but I don't if I ever reached the end btw ~

 

[marb]

does anyone know where to get legendary cores?

 

[NightStalker]

How can I unequip an item. I equipped shovel in main slot now I can't equip the axe

nvm found it

 

[Ardenaso]

It's a bit hard even when you're 4 because the enemies are too tough AND numerous.

 

[ShadowFiend]

I like to play this map, but seriously a Freaking Zombie Dog Attack Player at NIGHT TIME, Even in town, they past those guard and focus only player

 

[MagicLord]

Map updated to 2.3

Hey guys,

It's been a while since last update but now I'm back and with me a new update.
I fixed many annoying bugs like the save code problem with Ranger. Now it should work perfectly.

Please read the change log for all the information.

Some of you asked me to increase the player count, I tried but run into a bunch of problem so it may came later or never.

And as always thank you guys for your bug reports and feedbacks.

Also Map description in THW will be updated due to the change of THW to THW2.
