I've encountered 1 bug so far
with the illiden fight
-first fight he just kept getting his health back after dying
-second time he was perma invincible
Happened to me as well. He becomes permanently invulnerable after he dashes with his blades. Just replay the boss fight again and you'll be fine. The bug rarely happens

Mmm, those Illidan bugs didn't happen to me, in my case Tyrande during her first "invisivility" moment, she didn't go invisible and keep attacking with along with her owls, while on the 2nd time she did become invisible.

In chapter 9, an unexpected error happens after you finish the first main quest, after the cut-scene. I have already saved right before finishing the quest, and the game always crash after the cut-scene.
I tried to skip it, but the result is the same.
Can someone help me?

That's weird, in there too, and that didn't happen, which version are you using?

Talking about Chapter 9, can someone throw me tips to beat it on Hard? I'm stuck there since yesterday :/

1.30.4 and I'm playing it on hard. Really challenging, but I don't wanna play it all over again just to have another go with the bug to see that it might not happen.
My tip for you is clear out the small bases around you with Malfurion, and leave the rest of your forces to defend. After you do that, always remember to secure only TWO goldmines as you will need to defend on two fronts now.
You'll be attacked almost by everyone, so prepare yourself. After you clear all small bases, you'll need to assemble all your forces and attack the bases guarding the circle of power when the first main quest ends (where I'm stuck now).
The key here, is maxing your troops for the final two bases, and not expanding. Therefore, you'll need lots of gold.
I can safely say that this is the hardest chapter so far in Hard difficulty.

I know right? I guess I'll try it on normal since I can't manage to beat it, thanks for the tips.

EDIT: My bad, didn't make it to where you are so, I don't know if I'd had experienced it lol.

This happened to me first time I tested it. I restarted the map and it worked fine. I think the bug can occur after that cinematic if you spent to much time in the map.

Great campaign!Such a masterpiece deserves six-star-rank if possible.Thank you Turnro.Thank you FallenStar.You are the pearls of HIVE's crown,inspiring and encouraging thousands of mapmakers to pursue the art of gaming as well as true meaning of life.

Turnro has been keeping improving himself since 2010,the year he started his epic journey of Warcraft3 series.He has created an interesting parallel world of Azeroth which expanded imaginary space.In Turnro's early days,the stories were quite simple but full of fun.He focused on the quality of gameplay more than the logical behaviors of characters.Little by little,Turnro has changed his style these years,trying to write some serious stories including depravation,betrayal and political struggles. Having had enough experiences in Resurrection of the Scourge,he started his final Project:Malfurion's Quest.

I've made a quick playthrough of normal mode today.Found only one bug so far.
-When I finished Chapter 6,Chapter 7 and Chapter 9,clicking the "Continue" button caused crashes of Warcraft3.I had to load the latest save file,sometimes the second latest one,to solve that problem.

Chapter 3~6 of Sentinel's storyline are missing in 1.4b,aren't they?

That was one of the nicest comments I've read :-D.
Thank you and we're glad you've enjoyed the Highborne branch.
Even though we released the full story for the evil path, we do plan on updatting it in the future and patching bugs and issues that were found.
The Sentinel Storyline was disabled since it'll go through the same process as the evil storyline has.

In Chapter 1, what was the enchanted gemstone obelisk supposed to do? I destroyed it and it made a secret found sound, but I don't think anything happened

There is an identical and symmetrical place below the obelisk. Move down there to retrieve the first legendary item.

I found an error in Chapter 5

During the middle cinematic, Smolderas doesn't follow the orc warlock to the place Kil'jaeden is summoned and stays next to the throne where he was standing.
He only moves after the three orc commanders arrive.

Chapter 8
After I kill the Night Elves attempting to take over the third obelisk, the countdown stops and the camera starts shaking without stop.

Damn Malfurion is crossing so many lines...
--Forsaking Druidism
--Attempting to kill Cenarius' daughter
--Betraying and killing those he once swore to defend (Furbolgs, Night Elves, etc)
--Deciding to cleanse the land of every 'weak' race
--Killing Tyrande
--Killing and corrupting the Guardians
--'Killing' his own brother in a clear sadistic way
--Turning his followers into nothing more but slaves and killing those that opposed this, even if they had been nothing more but completely loyal and reliable
--Making pacts with demons to attack his former brethren

And I am still in Chapter 8!

Malfurion is a disgusting, backstabbing, arrogant, self-rightseous, hypocritical and callous piece of s##!

He is easily the most hateable character in the whole series, by far! Even the demons seem more likeable than him! Even Kil'jaeden seems less obnoxious and that is saying something!

I've just completed the whole campaign and I was like - what the actual f***?? Don't wanna spoil anything, but I didn't like the ending at all. I hoped it'd have been different... much different like it could.
Anyway, the campaign is beatable on Hard until chapter 9, together with the final chapter 10. I had to put on Normal and use God Mode cheat to pass 'em :rolleyes:
- In chapter 9, after destroying the first middle base, the second one, which is consisted of two enemy bases, is absolutely impossible to break through because of its protectors - the massive number of dragons. I repeated my saved game like more than 15-20 times and still couldn't beat it, even with full gap of 100/100 food consumed units. :( All the enemy units, not just dragons, were spawning too fast. Not to mention my base getting attack by two seperate bases, which I am prevented from attacking :eek:
- Also, about chapter 10, the pre-final battle was almost equal to impossible to win. Despite playing on a Normal difficulty, the sub-boss had too much health in the end and he always managed to kill me. At the very end of the battle when he kept spaming neutral health-draining spell I had to use "WhosYourDaddy" to kill him. Surprisingly, the final, ending boss was easier to beat for me. After I memorized where the Circle of Power locations are, I managed to beat him :)
Overall, I enjoyed playing the campaign. Although I ran into a few bugs that I may report, they are not so important.
Firstly, as always, I liked the terrain, than the AI difficulty, the storyline (except the ending), the models/skins were fantastic and, of course, the gameplay itself.
Great work on making this masterpiece, Turnro and FallenStar. Looking forward to playing the Sentinel campaign when it's done! :) (hope it'll have a better ending :p)

I've beaten Chapter 9 twice on Hard difficulty. However, I do agree that chapter 10 is unbeatable in hard difficulty. I have the strongest items and yet the final boss is just invincible.

Alright, I am stuck at Chapter 8

I reach the third obelisk and manage to kill the Cenarian Circle's soldiers and Remulus. After I kill Remulus and the countdown for the destruction of the obelisk starts counting, I put Malfurion in the circle, but Malfurion doesn't start the ritual and the countdown still keeps going. After it reaches 0:00 it suddenly stops at 0:51 for some reason and the map is always shaking.

Any ideas guys?
Any idea or help would be great, thanks.

How does it stop at 0:51 when it already stopped at 0:00? What patch are you using? Try moving Malfurion away from the Circle and returning him back. I also had a similar problem like this and I solved it by moving my units a bit away from the Circle and placing only Malfurion on the Circle. After he communed with the Circle, everything was fine.
By the way, the bug I ran into in this chapter was when I let the timer run out when Remulus went to the last Circle. After the timer ran out, it looked as if I reached in time and complete the quest.
Have you too had this problem? Is it a bug or was it intended to be the outcome?

I am using patch 1.30.0.

I moved Malfurion away from the circle and made him return. Nothing changed.
Like I said, the disruption countdown reaches 0:00 and then goes back to 0:51 and stays there, with the camera always shaking.

That's nothing compared to what's coming. You'll see for yourself when you finish it :D
But I agree with everything you said. Without thinking too much, I'd rate him as a number 1 most hatred character in all campaigns I've ever played so far. Even demons have more honor than him. He doesn't respect anyone, violets the laws of nature, destroys and conquers everything on his path.

Well, I don't know about that bug. Since I am using 1.29.2 patch, everything seemed ok when the timer reached zero. Maybe it's a considerable bug that Turnro should look after if some other players report the same bug :confused:

Usually when we play campaigns, we play while wanting our characters to win.
It is pretty common for people to like playing as the bad guys. For example, I enjoy playing as the Undead Scourge, because I like playing as undead and I like the undead characters.

However, I do not enjoy playing as Malfurion. There is nothing likeable about him at all. Him killing Kath’ranis, who I actually liked, didn't help his case at all. Highborne Furion stands at the top of my list of hated Warcraft characters, alongside Gul'dan.

That is right, Malfurion to me is just as hateable as Gul'dan! Then again, Malfurion is by this point pretty much like Gul'dan.

I always hope that in the final cinematics of some missions that karma comes to bite him or hoped that we only played as him at the start of the campaign and at the end we play as other factions attempting to stop him.
Needless to say I am sad to find out that this is not the case.

I might consider change the patch I am playing, if no one else has the same problem.

Keep in mind that you're only playing 50% of the Campaign/Story.
The Sentinel Storyline is much different and Malfurion goes through an entire different arch, one to be experienced when released.

We're glad, however, that the storyline sparks some interesting conversations as a lot of thought went into it.
When the Sentinel storyline will be released, the Highborne story and Malfurion by default will make even more sense.

The idea is that these two storylines complete one another, you'll find out new things that explain highborne story plots while the highborne story explains sentinel storyline plots.
We did try to make each story stand on its own and make as much sense as possible with what's given throughout the chapters even though both of them combined forge the bigger picture.

As for the bugs mentioned throughout each post since release as well as the difficulty level.
Please remember that this is still a raw released version. Every bug/glitch will be fixed in a future patch and the difficulty will become adjusted.
I hope that later on, we'll be able to add/improve highborne boss battles and some chapters.
But we'll see how that goes.
Turnro and I really wanted to see how the community will receive this story, despite its flaws that we'll work on.
We're glad that no matter what feelings you have towards the end of the game, it was quite the adventure through all the chapters.
Make no mistake, however, Highborne Malfurion was done with the intention of being what he is and being hated for his actions.
But this will only amplify the positive side of things in the drama that will unfold in the story of the Sentinel path.

How do you open the gate that has the magic vault in it in Chapter 7?

You need a key to open the gate. The key is named "Secret Key" which can be found in the prison where you rescue your imprisoned brethren. There should be a few barrels within the prison, destroy them to retrieve the key.

"Prevent Faradrella from escaping." 5 seconds later - she has escaped. Ok?
Meh, it's not like i wanted to play the corrupted Malfurion anyway, led by his compulsions, because of his OCD :D

Considering the kind of messed up stuff we do in future chapters, I am no longer sure I want to continue.:(

How does a storyline that starts with a lighthearted and comedic campaign like The Adventures of Rowan the Wise ends with a dark and twisted campaign such as this?

Actually, i caught the dryad and... he killed his companions. 30 minutes earlier: "My loyality still lies within my people."
Sure. Which people, again?

Edit: And which is ever worse, after he killed them, seem he felt... nothing. This was a mistake. And i am glad i did it in a game, it convinced me to listen to the rational mind and stay true to myself... in life.

Malfurion no longer has people. If you keep playing you will see what I mean.

It is kind of hilarious to see Malfurion slandering and accusing others of 'unforgiveable' acts and then we see Malfurion doing far worse acts 'to protect the world'.
The only reason he cares about the world is because he lives there. If Malfurion was granted the chance to go to a world filled with magic he could consume, he wouldn't give a damn if the Burning Legion came to destroy Azeroth.

Throwing in my two cents regarding this as I have already finished the Highborne storyline.
I think that this change is just too sudden, even when considering what has occured.

Spoiler ahead! If you have not completed the campaign yet DO NOT READ!
I was waiting for a reveal that Furion was being manipulated, i. e. by that "Zael'thun"
who is mentioned in the list of other characters in the campaign project thread. Or anyone else.
Such a thing would have explained how the change could have been so sudden, seemingly out
of place.
That did not happen. In the end, Furion just turned into a massive demon and led the Legion.
I mean I was expecting things to end dark, I think we all could see something bad coming about
a mile away.
I would have liked to see Furion go more of a "end justifies the means" way rather than turning
into a super villain himself. I am also not sure how to feel about Azshara being thrown in out of
nowhere. Yes, Illidan and Naga were there, but I feel like Azshara was not required for the plot.

I have no problem with everyone else apart from Furion being dead/about to be killed, but several
characters like Kath'ranis or Magtheridon just got themselves killed by sheer stupidity. Even that
pitlord, considering how he plotted against Kil'jaeden and Shahraz, should have known better.
I will be honest, though, I expected him to fall under control of Furion instead of making himself
vulnerable to get killed by an arrow.
And Kath'ranis? I feel irritated how he would ally with demons and trust the ranger general whom
he knew was completely enthralled by Furion.

I hope for the Sentinel storyline to entertain me more, I was slightly disappointed with Highborne storywise, I am afraid.
I know that @Turnro can create entertaining campaigns, he has proven that with his other projects.
I am sure that after some fine tuning this can be really good and I wish him the best of luck with it.

Isn't said that 'the brightest light casts the darkest shadow'? Those who have the greatest potential to commit good can also have the greatest potential to commit evil?

Maybe that darkness already existed in Malfurion and the fountains merely helped it come to the surface. Maybe he got fed up with the responsibility of protecting his people and Azeroth and the new power helped him realize that he no longer had to care about neither.

Deathwing sounds more sympathetic than Malfurion. His insanity was mostly due to the Old Gods and when we see Deathwing, we can clearly see that deep down he is insane. Malfurion's corruption, however, seems to come mostly out of himself and he doesn't display insanity aside from megalomania and narcissism.

I am also not sure how to feel about Azshara being thrown in out of
nowhere. Yes, Illidan and Naga were there, but I feel like Azshara was not required for the plot.

This was simply a way from the plot to get rid of all possible rivals and obstacles to Malfurion.

And Kath'ranis? I feel irritated how he would ally with demons and trust the ranger general whom
he knew was completely enthralled by Furion.

My opinion is that he thought that Velinde wasn't entirely under Malfurion's control, but that her mind was 'overwritten' in order to make her more obedient.

The demons sought revenge, which is an actual compelling motive, so he actually believed it.
Malfurion's goal however is mostly left on the dark for everyone but himself, so he decided to pick the side of whose goal he knew.

I've just completed the whole campaign and I was like - what the actual f***?? Don't wanna spoil anything, but I didn't like the ending at all. I hoped it'd have been different... much different like it could.
Anyway, the campaign is beatable on Hard until chapter 9, together with the final chapter 10. I had to put on Normal and use God Mode cheat to pass 'em :rolleyes:
- In chapter 9, after destroying the first middle base, the second one, which is consisted of two enemy bases, is absolutely impossible to break through because of its protectors - the massive number of dragons. I repeated my saved game like more than 15-20 times and still couldn't beat it, even with full gap of 100/100 food consumed units. :( All the enemy units, not just dragons, were spawning too fast. Not to mention my base getting attack by two seperate bases, which I am prevented from attacking :eek:
- Also, about chapter 10, the pre-final battle was almost equal to impossible to win. Despite playing on a Normal difficulty, the sub-boss had too much health in the end and he always managed to kill me. At the very end of the battle when he kept spaming neutral health-draining spell I had to use "WhosYourDaddy" to kill him. Surprisingly, the final, ending boss was easier to beat for me. After I memorized where the Circle of Power locations are, I managed to beat him :)
Overall, I enjoyed playing the campaign. Although I ran into a few bugs that I may report, they are not so important.
Firstly, as always, I liked the terrain, than the AI difficulty, the storyline (except the ending), the models/skins were fantastic and, of course, the gameplay itself.
Great work on making this masterpiece, Turnro and FallenStar. Looking forward to playing the Sentinel campaign when it's done! :) (hope it'll have a better ending :p)
which version of the war3 do you play , 1.30?
I meet many problems when using this version to play the compaign

This was a very enjoyable campaign Turnro and FallenStar, I hope the Sentinel storyline turns out as good as or better than the Highborne path! :thumbs_up:

And hot damn Chapter 9 and 10 were insane on Hard difficulty.
Hope this might help those of you who want to beat those chapters on Hard.
Ok so for how I beat Chapter 9 - basically what I did was destroy the two small bases and then hoard a shit ton of gold after I fully established my base (around 12k? Something like that) followed by long long guerilla attacks with Malfurion, Velinde and Magtheridon with destroying the dragon troop buildings one by one (took like and hour or 2, I think), after I took em out it was... annoyingly easy to finish the rest of the night elven base (the gold went in defending my base with the fodder that were my troops) and all round it took like 5 hours to accomplish this (or at least I hope it was 5).

Alright now for the Kil'Jaeden boss fight -First you have to use his corrupted ancient form, doubt he can be beaten otherwise, besides that to be honest he wasn't all that hard (provided you take the hp and mana runes the moment you can after they appear through all of the fight) till he did his meteor rain attack which encompasses the whole battlefield, that took a lot of my health (which was around the green-yellow border) after that attack i was mostly made sure to hit him whenever I could either with the fire breath skill or basic attack combined with immolation. Took a few tries but i managed to beat him with me being left with like 250/2600 hp. Still this boss fight was pretty damn good all around and lived up to the hype of Kil'Jaeden being the strongest Legion fighter. I suspect a good part of the reason I was able to beat him on Hard was due to the lifesteel from the demon blade which we can get from the demon hunter optional quest from Chapter 6 it really did a lot in keeping me alive long enough till I was able to use the hp and mana runes, also helps that my Malfurion had a shit ton of mana (like 1450 i think?) along with the mana regen to back it up. Also I don't know how much it actually helped but I had Malfurion take every stat tome I could find.

The following Illidan boss fight was a bit anticlimactic compared to Kil'Jaeden one (hell I even beat it on my first try).

Hope this helps you guys a bit to do Chapter 9 or 10 on Hard difficulty

So now for some of my thoughts considering what happened in the the storyline.
Can't really say I'm all that surprised things ended the way they did (though I did have a little bit of hope that we might end up killing him at one point), what with Malfurion killing basically everyone he ever cared about and becoming an uber powerful disfigured God thing. However I gotta agree with Shar concering how Malfurion turned from very good to very bad so damn fast, even if he had that darkness deep inside the whole situation smells of someone screwing around with his head. That "Malfurion's Inner voice" was very suspect. It was way too... independent if you ask me, you don't just get something like it out of nowhere (Hell that "Now we will be one" line just screams that something ain't right). My bets are on either the Exiled One or Zaelthrun the Harbinger (kinda suspect we didn't seem either one em of at all especially after Malfurion fucked up Azeroth in Chapter 5) being the perpetrators. Though I'd say the Exiled One is the more likely of the two especially since he has every motive to screwed over everyone, Legion and Azerotthian alike.

So if your already on Malfurion's section you can't get the key?

Yes. You will need to restart the mission.

I am also not sure how to feel about Azshara being thrown in out of
nowhere. Yes, Illidan and Naga were there, but I feel like Azshara was not required for the plot.

This was simply a way from the plot to get rid of all possible rivals and obstacles to Malfurion.

I think thats just cheap Deus Ex Machina implantation. I personally really enjoyed the campaign, but not so much as i play it further toward the end. Illidan should have just been trapped there and the plot moved on while him as a character and past event stays as a possible plot twist usage.

----------------------------------------------
The happened events:
  1. Illidan being trapped there as a known fact by Kathranis.
  2. Illidan communication with Kathranis about his true intention and his good will.
  3. Kathranis realizing he had took the wrong choice
Could lead to a better possible plot progression as Kathranis returned to the place where Illidan was trapped, thus replacing Azshara, resulting in the plot makes even more sense and characters feels alive.
----------------------------------------------


P.S
The word "cheap" is not to be taken offensively btw, i understand the campaign creators' circumstances and how much has been put into the campaign. I also understand that the @Turnro and @FallenStar planned to tell the story by utilizing two different storylines that actually compliment each other, so my disappointment may be unfounded. A really nice campaign but actually falls off compare to other campaigns of @Turnro. The gameplay and terrain part is far superior than other campaign, but how i as a player feel after finishing the campaign just keeps giving me a feeling of dissatisfaction...
