Into The Darkness v1.10

Ardenian: After the map submission rules, every icon needs a DISBTN version. I noticed the item 'Ring of The Creation' shows BTN instead of DISBTN. Please fix it.
It would also be a lot more pleasent if the attack and armor types have the correct border types and passive abilties being passive ( Strength Power, e.g., has an active icon border, but is passive). The Button Manager allows you the creation of such.

I played the story mode up to Chapter 7.2 and a bit more. Overall it is a simple Hack'n'Slash, as known from maps like X Hero Siege, but Into The Darkness shows up some more ideas, like upgrades for spawned defenders, runes and some little secrets.
The heroes and their spells are an eye-candy. The terrain is average, designed with many little doodads, sometimes plain empty, especially blighted areas.

As playing myself, I would suggest, svpforever, that you add some more information regarding story and chapter introductions. Sometimes, for example for 'secret' bosses, one has to search a bit to progress. Pings could be one solution, as it was done for the frozen infernal boss, to help players orientate after/before and in between chapters.

Into The Darkness

This is my map. I create it by myself and about the screenshots I already add it. My English is not very well, sorry for that. If you are playing my map and find out what's wrong (just English writing, map's errors you can post it here) then PM me on my garena account. Name: Z.z_Blood_z.Z, ID: 57184331. Well, thanks for playing my map, have fun.

 

[Legal_Ease]

I don't understand why it has the Goblin UI but maybe I need to download it and play it. I can't until I get my WE back, but it looks pretty impressive from the screenshots.

 

[Daffa]

Legal_Ease is talking about the screenshot.
Yeah, I can't see the screenshot here either. Where did you put those screenshots, imgur?

 

[Eldin HawkWing]

Looking Good.

 

[wrath bringer]

I'll review your map after I review Naxxramas

 

[WhiteFang]

The screenshots are working now and the description seems to match the rules so this now ready for reviewing.If any of my fellow reviewers want this,go.If nobody does,Ill take it xD

 

[wrath bringer]

Mine crashes when i try to play the map I get a Fatal Error

 

[WhiteFang]

Check your map for any triggers that are disabled or have requirements you don't have

 

[Daffa]

Set your setting to highest quality setting.

I enjoyed the map alone, but it will be a lot to do after 20 mins, and you will be confused where to go etc. Making it way to hard for an single player to play it. I would recommend 2 people playing it, because there will be 1 defender and 1 attacker.

But i really enjoy the abilities and such.
The terrain is OK.
You need to check out something when a tip comes, like this: Archimondes ultimate ability got an cooldown of 19 seoncds.
You will see whats wrong.
When you are creating and hero and starting to defend the first castle, and when the scene with kel'thuzad comes, he says something i dont remember, but he said something about planets. You wrote "Plannets"
change it to planets.


Overall i think this map should be approved.
And my personal rating is: 4/5.
Good job!

 

[Warseeker]

Good Map!

 

[svpforever]

#DUTY OF RS: I'll fix them in the next version. My English isn't very good actually ^^ sorry about that. Thanks for the rating, I'm really appreciate that.

#Warseeker: Thanks!!

Recently, I'm really busy with school stuff.... so you know.....^^ I'll try my best to update this map once a week. Thanks for playing my map.

 

[DUTY OF RS]

Alright, good luck!

 

[deepstrasz]

My eyes hurt. The horror of colour!

 

[Ardenian]

Could you please add more information to item abilities ?
For example, what does the ability Dark Faerie do ? This information should be available in the tooltip.

 

[Magepowers]

Hey dude can you fix the recipe for Life Taken? It needs six items which makes it impossible to make, cause you can only have 5 items with the recipe in your inventory.
Also, this map is really great. It's very fun with a few friends to play with. The grammar on the cut scenes could use some work though.

Edit: Actually I found out that I was using the wrong item for the recipe. So never mind about Life Taken.

 

[Ardenian]

Magepowers, Life Taken does not require the recipe item itself, so it is possible to craft it ( just take the six ingredients into your inventory, without the recipe)

Slight Bug

Hi, I've played your map which i have to say is a great one, i also played most of the heroes and i discovered something concerning Azure Dragon. When the path to Centaur King is opened and I fight him (Single Player) I open up using Q and when he gets knocked back he goes beyond the trees that are beside his throne and the only way to get him out is by using that skill again but that also has a chance of pushing him back further into the wall. So far that's the only thing i've found. Anyways, it's a great map I've played it with a few of my friends and it's really enjoyable, hope you make more maps like this!

Thanks for playing my map. I'm really appreciate it. I've planned to replace that skill (Massive Blast [Q]) with something else... Sorry for that inconvenient. Next version coming soon ^^

 

[Marwick Calixto]

not a huge inconvenience, a way to fully get him out is to use Massive blast at the corner of the velpal fortress where the teleporter is, but other players might find it annoying if they don't figure out how to get him out of there. Can't wait for the next version though

 

[Moonreaper666]

Um, I chose Story Mode and I already killed the Infernal Lord and the Demon Gate appeared.

What do I do?

According to what you've said, the Demon Gate means Gate Keeper right ? If so then you must find the *entrances to the 2 secret bosses*. Well, have a nice day


*SPOILER*
-General Vezax (the entrance located at the third boss of the map zone - Skeleton Fire Warrior Mage.
-General Kel'Thuzad (the entrance located at the right bottom of the Ultimate War zone)

 

[Moonreaper666]

Aren't those two optional bosses?

I just want to finish the map

Yes, they are. Killing them will open a whole new chapter for you to play if you wanted to ^^

If you want to have Save/Load System Enable then you must play the map in Extreme Mode or Higher.

I played this map with a few friends and we had a good time!
The map is well decorated and there is a bunch of cool models and effects. I'm surprised you fit all this in under 8mbs! The recipes were pretty intuitive and easy to make, though there were some minor typos. The typos weren't anything big, you just wrote stuff like "creature instead" of "creature attack". We played story mode and had find looking around for secret bosses and coordinating the defense of multiple bases. I wish there was some place where you could read the difference between story mode and hero defense mode. The hero spells were really cool and very powerful, it felt very satisfying to murder a whole chunk of enemies with a single spell. I really enjoyed the map, but I have only one major complaint. The map was too easy, we glided through it with just auto attacks. The bosses looked menacing and strong, but they could usually be taken down by 1-2 players. We played hard difficulty since it was our first time and we destroyed everything way too easily. It's shame because the map was so well made, I wish we had to work harder and as a team in order to get further. Anyways I loved the map overall
