@StoPCampinGn00b:
-Updated review-

So I just finished an hour 10 minute session of the map and I was impressed out the amount of depth this map has. If you're looking for a complete RPG map, this is one you should try.

Now it doesn't have the awe inspiring visuals and action as the absolute top stunning ORPGs out there, but it isn't your basic RPG ripoff. This map is unique and has a lot of work put into it. It's visuals are good and well above average. And while its spells and systems are quite basic (though sometimes unique such as the revive system) at first, there's just so much variety to choose from with a plethora of heroes, items, abilities, and quests. There's just a lot of everything to keep players trying out new things! Everything is informative and easy to learn, so yes, this is a noob friendly map.

One major gripe that few would complain about is the slow pacing, but that's a very subjective preference that I won't delve into much. Basically, the map feels significantly slower than most with things like a collecting 70+ meat or grinding to get to level 5 for quite a while. But again, that's a preference people have and it's not a negative point. A positive to this is that it keeps the progression of the game won't fly by too quick, as there I barely scratched the surface of exploring the map. If I were to nitpick, it would be the amount of advertising for the map's community, but I know where you're coming from. It'd probably be better to remove the sad faces in those messages.

Overall, I give the map a 4.2/5 and it definitely doesn't deserve to be in the substandard section. Map moved to approved.

Rufus Review Map Score Gameplay: 13 / 30 Aesthetics: 7 / 20 Total: 20 / 50 Rating Chart 45-50 5/5 Highly Recommended 35-44 4/5 Recommended 25-34 3/5 Useful 15-24 2/5 Lacking 0-14 1/5 Unacceptable Gameplay First of all I have to say that I believe that this game requires a lot of time to finish. I simply cannot put all the time into this map so that I could finish it. I will give my opinions based on the ca 30 minutes of gameplay I spent on it. Good things: -You could repick your hero unlimited number of times as long as you don't reach level 2. -Each "class" had agile, strong, or other variants of themselves. -Before getting out in the real world, you got to choose a special item, that extended character customization further. -There was a vast amount of shops in the first base, allowing the player to explore and find cool stuff to gather money for. Bad things: -The health regeneration fountain was too slow for no appearant reason. -It takes pretty long before you can finish one quest, since you need to be pretty powerful. Perhaps you should add a quest like "Kill 15 bandits and get a reward"? -The quest given to me by the magnataur wasn't really clear on what to do, so i just forgot about it until a few bandits dropped piece of meat. You should add more info here. In general I found of lot of cool small details in this game that really shows that the author has put a lot of thought and effort into this game. I would have liked to see more interesting enemy encounters such as large bosses that cast abilities that you need to move around a little to avoid for example. Perhaps a few puzzles or riddles aswell. I'm not sure if this appear later in the game, but I didn't encounter any in the time I spent on the map. Since you are supposed to put a lot of time into this game you really make it interesting, I can't say that I found it superfun just farming gold and experience from level 1 bandits. This is acceptable only because it is such a large game. Aesthetics The terrain is ok, but not perfect. It is not as bad so that you react to it, but if you look into it there are a lot of things that could be improved. The terrain is pretty flat. There are efficent use of blizzard cliffs, not always in the best ways. For example the first gateway you can go through to the place with bandit spellcasters. That areas only decoration is a few trees surrounded by cliff height 2 cliffs. Not very appealing. There could be more doodads, but since there is a limit to how many doodads that can be placed and the map size is huge, I understand the desicion of not making each area perfect. Tile variation was not very nice, but then again, you are limited to a few tiles over a large amount of areas. The tiles that was used in the starting area could be used more smartly though. I used "iseedeadpeople" in order to look more at the terrian: All the areas have very basic blizzard terrain. There could be added more doodads in most places, and higher/lower tool has not been used much at all, leaving the areas very flat with the exception for cliff ramps. The base looks good terrain and doodad-wise. The areas outside it doesn't look as good. Bugs I could buy a "Circlet [Ancient]" from a Jason the Weaponsmith in the first village/base giving me +54 all stats, for no cost at all. Summary It is an impressive amount of effort that has gone into this game. Hats off for that! This game is good for the patient people that want to spend some time building up a powerful character over time. There are not too much eye-candy going on around the map, but it can be entertaining none the less. It is fully functioning at the moment but not super entertaining. Although, you seem to have quite a lot of fans that disagree with me, so it might just be becasue I'm not an RPG type of player. Before I approve this map I would like to see at least a few special encounters such as empowered hero enemies with special abilities and a some terrain updates. Reading the comments, I can see that you have a few supporters of the project that seem to really like your idea and concept. I suggest you listen and discuss a lot with them in order to improve your map further. Status set to Awaiting Update.

 

Great description. Huge map with low file size!!!

 

Great map but needs more/better quests instead of pure hack/slash !, 5/5

Also more interesting boss fights, not just huge and powerfull monsters attacking players.

 

It's definitely 10/10, no need to say much more about the map. WORTH to play.

 

I think we take great pleasure in playing nice and not a simple map as ORPG.but labor expended on a map really nice.Playing map and live longer.

and I believe it will occur at a time when increasingly supported.

 

Map is pretty good, but bosses are made pretty bad... some areas have no bosses while some have 3... pretty unbalanced if u ask me... u made item type restricrion i like... but still not even half of items have this restriction whats kinda dull for me... either u make restriction or u dont... u cant go half way... now the next point... open pvp... players can meet 2 early... u should fix routes a bit... or add [PVP] state to players... so if they wanna they can pvp everybody else from other clan who is wearing [PVP] tag... 1 who dose and 1 who dose not or 2 who dose not wear this tag cant pvp each other... now to the next point... slippers/gauntlets//mantel/crown items are pretty much destroying the game type restriction as well as slippers/gauntlets/mantel are more less useless... im suggesting something else instead... adding a soul type item... some undrobable orb looking item spawned on start on each hero, giving +1 to all stats... now how to upgrade this item? killing bosses, harversting therese soul drops and enchating urs soul with it... CHANGE RINGs/AMULETs TYPE TO ACCESSORY. Maybe addindg perks/tears? U can pick like 1 perk per each 10 lvl... some perks: DOUBLE SKIN: enables a hero to wear 2 armors reducing his speed by 15% (+25% per heavy armor(if u have 2 heavy armor total speed that is reduced is 65%)), DUAL WIELD (enable haveing 2 weapons for a price of a shield), FANCY RICH BRAT (enables 2 accessory items), BORN IN NATURE (15% moment and attack speed), USED TO GO TO GYM (20% attack dmg)

 

I liked map. Also heroes are nice ! I liked elementalist so much ^^

 

I like this map ^^

 

I vote for 5/5!

 

Crashes on LAN.

 

You sure? Because we're playing on lan most of the times. Can you give details? Which one is crashing game or specific slots?

 

Well.. I don't know other details than the fact that we were two players on Gameranger.

 

We've encountered problems on Gameranger many times this is why we're using bnet :/ yes on the Gameranger game causes some of the problems this is why i've replaced cinematic transformations with simple text messages because players causes desync but i really don't have a little idea about this problem

no problem if you play on lan or bnet (maybe hamachi, we haven't tried hamachi)

 

Guys i tought no one was interested but i saw moderator made comment. Yes maybe i will enable single player playing (without -save of course) and i have a problem with my JFA account. For a long time i can't get my forgotten password code

I made a terrible mistake. I've accidently deleted my main file and i have returned minimum 10 versions ago. For 2 weeks i am trying to re-roll my works back sorry for the update delay

 

I have a huge problem. JFA account is no longer mine and i can't edit this section. I am changing the name and upload it like a new map. I will inform you when i am ready.
Edit: Ok it seems problem solved. I will update the map soon.

 

New terrain, texture, cliff type and screenshots updated! Let me know if you are playing.

 

Hi there,

So i played this map for few hours with maker himself and here is my opinion:

1)Needs comand -roll or -dice to prevents ninjas
2) I think 1st area of bandits needs to be changed from meat quest to certian amount of kills like 20-30 and that reward needs to be shared trough whole party.
3)Also I'm a big fan of quests of bosses so think taht would be nice to have also for some extra money
4)Str chars atleast some of them need ability to taunt monsters so you can control argo for your group and have less deaths as a group
5)Mad bandits lvl 7 creeps need to have lower stun % 100% is too much and Melee chars can do nothing about it but standing still and take damage
6)Inscrease drop rate of uniques on normal creeps
7)Free teleports between towns so that player can have easier time to craft items over towns

That's it for now i only reached lvl 9 cuz we had to end more info in future.

i coppy this since i wrote it on other link so other people don't get confused
