Legendary Heroes

[NoMoreChallenge]

At last I decided to submit my project to map development forum.

Legendary Heroes is RPG style map where you team up with your friends and fight against various monsters and bosses.
The game focuses on teamwork, of course you can't defeat bosses alone.
Don't try single player to win the game, it's impossible (without cheats), meaningless and not fun.
Please don't be confused, this is not ORPG, so there is no save and load system.

Features

-Choose hero from three taverns and fight through the map, defeating monsters and bosses.
-Each hero has 4 skills, three normal skills and one ultimate. Also 15 levels of stat bonus.
-You earn gold only from killing monsters and bosses.
-Items are available at shops near starting area.
-There are 20 heroes now. Bosses' skills will be added in the future.
Caution: Heroes can not be revived!!! and it's supposed to be like this (not a bug)


You can view credits in-game at Map Info by pressing F9.
If I forget to mention someone in credits, please let me know.

Critics, suggestions and comments are welcome
I know this map NEEDS tons of work, so I need a lot of feedback and ideas to improve it.

Some feedbacks

Good points:
1. The quest is really full with infos o.o gj on this one.
2. Balancing work good XD

Bugs:
1. is it just me or, i can't revive.
2. I can't get warden helmet recipe working
3. Some typos like Strenght from axemasters o.o its strength .

Suggestions
1. Make more player available o.o 4-6 would be good though. 3 isn't really enough
2. Some hero tooltip's are so empty compare to others =\
3. Maybe implement a damage show system?
4. Some heroes' skill like Axemaster's Pulverize are too crazy O.O the casting range over high. looks like hes flying.\

Overall is quite good for a beta =) good job.

 

[NoMoreChallenge]

THX for feedbacks XD +rep

about bugs
1. Heroes can not be revived at any cost. I want to make this map hard and challenging.
2. I will check it again EDIT: yes you were right! It doesn't work and I also forgot to fix it, so maybe next version.
3. Oops I might be half awake while I was typing that. EDIT: FIXED XD

your suggestions
1. I'm not sure for this one. Yes, if you play alone, it isn't fun and too hard.
I might make 4 available players, but 5 or more is just too many. Don't forget when you play as a team of 3 and your level reaches 30 or 40, there is almost nothing can stand in your way.
2. It seems like I'm running out of ideas, but I will try my best to finish it
3. I might do that.
4. What do you want me to adjust damage, casting range or the height?

Cast Range

 

[NoMoreChallenge]

ok next version I will fix warden helmet recipe and reduce cast range of Axe Pulverize as you mentioned.

Does someone have any feedbacks after testing? I really need them now

EDIT: I'm now working on the new version with 4 players available and gold bounty is turned on!
Cast range of Axe Pulverize is reduced and Warden Helmet is fixed as well, many thanks to pkw
Also work on balance issues (stats, skills, items and amount of gold bounty)

 

[Gnoren]

Just popped out here, and i seem to like the start. Downlading and testing immediately.

[+] Good selection of heroes.
[+] Good spells/skills.
[+] Good choice of items.
[+] Personally i like the difficulty.
[+] Has very much potential.
[=] I played a map called by this name.
[=] Flame boulder, when it reaches the target, the target takes no aggro, and i can just keep spamming the spell untill the target dies.
[=] Improve some of the spells description.
[=] Quests could improve gameplay, not only that they will make the map more interesting and popular.
[=] I think Blademasters Bladestorm is too overpowered, try making it, 75/150/225/300 instead of 150/250/350/450. Wjen you use the bladestorm and run away at the same time, you can kill enemies being unharmed, lower the range.
[=] Paladins retaliate spell ( cant remember name) is over powered. Make it less like 15/30/45/60 or 20/40/60/80 instead of 25/50/75/100
[=] Adding a fourth basic spell wont hurt.
[=] Blademaster has 2 passives what leaves to 2 actives, and that makes his gameplay boring.
[-] Solo is very hard.
[-] Not bad terrain, but not good either, improvements needs to be made.
[-] Not many mid-class items, such as 10 str and 3 agi. Was always like, take either str or agi, cant get both.
[-] Low choice of enemies.
[-] First intelligence items are pretty expensive.

Untill now i tried four heroes, Wind Ranger, Paladin, Blademaster, Flame Wizard. All solo, tomorrow hoping for a party.

[Eldubs]

You forgot to add the map i think? Or does the fixed mean its the new ver?

 

[Eldubs]

[=] Holy Guardins Sacred Blade spells tooltip says you get 5%/10%/15%/20% of attack, altho it gives attack speed.
[-] Holy Guardians Holywave has too less cooldown.
[-] Holywave has very good starting damage.

 

[NoMoreChallenge]

Beta 17 is not complete yet. Things on the list (changelog) are already done, but there will be more changes made in this version.

1. fixed
2. I will leave it that way until I can find another good spell to replace it.
3. base damage reduced

 

[Eldubs]

[=] White archmages bird spell is too imba, in the start you can use them and afk at the base, but you still get exp no matter how far they are. This can be fixed by lovering experience gain range, from the advanced gameplay constants.
[=] The mana shield was a little too OP, Light Archmage could easily tank, also if he had a few of those cooldown staffs he could of easily tanked all bosses. Bad for a intelligence hero.
[-] I thought he is a healer altho he was just a random, bad dps and bad support.

 

[NoMoreChallenge]

1. Enemies can attack birds. (see Beta 17 changelog)
2. Balance change will be made.
3. I will take spell rework/replace in consideration.

 

[SanD3R]

-save/-load ?added epic Drop items and skills to bosses,or your map not rpg?хD

 

[Eldubs]

Its an rpg your right, but its not an orpg. Save/load has nothing to do with this map.

When is beta 17 coming out?

 

[NoMoreChallenge]

Thanks for all comments

I'm on Supervised Field Training, but I got tomorrow off.

I will make sure Beta 17 is uploaded within few days.

 

[Eldubs]

More feedback on your map. My first online game with a full party.

I was the wind archer.

#1: The tornado spell is pretty much too good. When you got a full party you can just keep use of the tornado so the bosses cant attack anybody. Reduce duration and raise the damage a little, overall make it worse.
#2: Overall the game play was a little too easy, you better make the enemies health 20% better, that would improve difficulty.
#3: When defeating the second boss (above the grassland in the cobold/golem area) We were all ranged and we were just attacking the boss fro the top of the hill and we were receiving no damage because he was trapped. Making a hill between this or something could fix the problem.
#4: Adding some abilities to bosses would also make the gameplay very good, as i said before this map has potential.
#5: We reached the snow area and there was lag. After the snow boss one of us died because the lag was umbearable. This is probably because there is some leaks or something?

Here is more stuff you can work on.

 

[scorpion182]

why the heroes can not be revived?

 

[NoMoreChallenge]

@Elbuds thanks for more feedback
1. I will check.
2. some monsters and bosses hp increased!
3. fixed
4. I will try to add them as soon as possible.
5. probably because of wind ranger's spells, I will reduce effects and fix some triggers.

@scorpion
The game will be very easy if heroes can be revived (means you can not lose)
Maybe I have to change defeat condition to balance this issue, but now I have no idea.

 

[Eldubs]

why the heroes can not be revived?

So its more hard.

Also about beta 17, good updates, going to download and try to give more feedback. About the lag in later stages, did you reduce the leaks?

 

[NoMoreChallenge]

I think the main problem comes from wind ranger's abilities between cyclone shooter and tornado missile (maybe both), but when I played on single player mode, it was completely fine. I need more work on this, lots of things to be added, fixed and improved before official release.
I would like to thank for your support so far

 

[NoMoreChallenge]

I need more feedback.

 

[Eldubs]

Did you update more? You should come up with ideas too

 

[NoMoreChallenge]

Ok, I haven't been working on it for a while, maybe I need something to inspire me?
I will stop working on new heroes and spell balance then start fixing some bugs and implement more systems.

Any comment on how to improve terrain? It's not attractive and lacks the feeling of RPG.
