[Campaign] Malfurion's Quest

[Wrath King]

Is the Moon Arrows going to be a passive ability or autocast that requires mana??

 

[Turnro]

What about Hippogryph Riders? Marksmanship also affects them. Anyway this upgrade sound nice.

Hippogryph Riders will also benefit from the Lunar upgrade with the increased damage and area-of-effect attacks.

Is the Moon Arrows going to be a passive ability or autocast that requires mana??

It will be a passive ability, though the ability in itself is not too powerful for balance reasons

 

[Wrath King]

Awww I was hoping for that ability to be OP xD. Turnro just a logic question, how come none of the Night Elves notice that Malfurion was not the druid that they once knew?? Did they seriously not notice the atrocities that he did like retrieving that one druid's item from the geomancers then murdering that druid??

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Furion's companions with the druid in the cave thing were Highborne, and when he commits "atrocities" those he were with were highborne as well even if they look like night elves. No actual night elf actually knew until one did.

 

[StormKnight]

i think medivh is siting to much in the dark
is he really going to sit & watch kalimdor destroy it self ???

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Isn't that what he did after he tried to talk with Arthas to flee to Kalimdor. But in the end......yeah.... :/

 

[StormKnight]

yeah but this time blizzard isnt making the campaign so im sure we can find a way that he can at least Help the good furion
or even come in the campaign as a good hero player !!!!OOOOO that wolde AAAWWWSSSOOMMMEEE

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Then well shall see if what you say will be taken.

 

[Wrath King]

Exactly my point. How come none of the Night Elves noticed that Malfurion had weird looking elves compared to themselves with him?? And seriously, why did that elf general obey Malfurion in that mission when it was obvious he was not himself?? This made me laugh back then when I played chapter 5 because I was expecting the Highborne to be captured.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

What night elf general?
and the highborne I referred to in my post still looked night elven. But yes it would make sense if they were different looking and if someone has sensed their essence like the sentry who confronted furion

 

[Wrath King]

The one in chapter 5. I was actually expecting the Highborne to be caught but they did not. But the one thing that has been bugging me is that why none of the Night Elves ever notice that something was wrong with Malfurion. In that sense, Malfurion's become a King Azshara because none of the Night Elves would bother to notice if what he was doing was right or wrong.

Anyway Turnro, can you give me a spoiler and tell me if Illidan will return?? I love spoilers xD. If the others don't want to know can you just pm me?

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Didn't Illidan die?
And maybe they don't notice or care because of Malfurion's position in the Night Elven society.

 

[Wrath King]

Illidan did not die... when they were surrounded he teleported away (I think). Yeah like I said Malfurion has become a King Azshara.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

But unlike Azshara who brought the legion, he does intend to stop the Legion. And yeah I think he did teleport.

 

[StormKnight]

i think if this is to be true the story will have to be between well,,, the start of WC3 & this malfurions quest is something that takes place after Wc2 maybe we can say that the highborn faild Illidan thats why he Raised the Naga & IF you played the orginal Wc3 first campaign there is a place that lady vash tells maive that they were once the highborn

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Remember that this is a custom campaign and all aren't fully connected to Warcraft lore. And The Highborne, Naga, Night Elves were one before like they were just one race.

 

[Turnro]

Exactly my point. How come none of the Night Elves noticed that Malfurion had weird looking elves compared to themselves with him?? And seriously, why did that elf general obey Malfurion in that mission when it was obvious he was not himself?? This made me laugh back then when I played chapter 5 because I was expecting the Highborne to be captured.

We are not told the whole story yet (I'm referring to Chapter 6 here), so are you assuming that Velinde and her forces were oblivious to Malfurion's changes because they chose to do nothing? Perhaps the Ranger General did consider it, but thought it was not the best move at the time. After all, Malfurion is much more powerful and there were other more pressing matters to attend to first (aka the Legion).

Finally, here is your spoiler

Spoiler

You will find out what happened to Illidan in Chapter 6.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

What a nice Spoiler xD
And I thought Velinde didn't mind Furion because of what he said and again his Archdruidness.

 

[Wrath King]

Thanks for the spoiler Turnro. To be honest when I saw the Legion in that Mount Hyjal mission I was expecting a three way battle between the Legion, the Night Elves and the Highborne or at least that Malfurion's betrayal will be revealed to all but I guess we will have to wait and see what happened to that dryad that Malfurion chased away in Chapter 3 (not sure if it was the 3rd). Btw, is Malfurion being drawn into madness by the Old Gods like the same way Neltharion was in the original lore?? And can I throw a wild guess on how the Highborne story will turn out?? Not to brag but this could be a potential spoiler so I want to know if i can guess or not.

 

[StormKnight]

i have an opinion about this lunar upgrade i dont think that it sholde have a splash damage effect as the archer unit dosent have that much damage to be splashed but increasing the attack speed or if im right the attack rate by 23% or something like that sound better

 

[Rence Kristoff]

The Archer's missile won't be an ordinary arrow once upgraded, the shots have something that will cause the splash.

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

Hai Turnro,
You have a characters? Please add new characters (Vared), he is a elemental mage of Sentinel.

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

Hey guys! Just a quick update to let you all know that my current map, the Cave of Shadows, is nearly done. I aim to have the initial map done within a week or so, though it will not be available to play yet.

In addition, I have replaced Jarod Shadowsong's Sword Slam ability with a new spell. This new ability is Battle Shout, which silences all nearby enemy units.

Awesome that screenshot Turnro. I can't wait for the next version.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Don't double post!

And that Lunar Upgrade, is that like the Searing Arrows or Frost Arrows just with that splash damage, Turnro?

 

[StormKnight]

sorry but to make sure that its not left unanswered i had to post this again

i have an opinion about this lunar upgrade i dont think that it sholde have a splash damage effect as the archer unit dosent have that much damage to be splashed but increasing the attack speed or if im right the attack rate by 23% or something like that sound better

 

[Rence Kristoff]

23% might already be too much, and again the upgrade might probably do something to the arrows of the archer to GIVE it that SPLASH damage

 

[Wrath King]

Will both archers from Highborne and Sentinel get the Lunar Upgrade??

 

[StormKnight]

23% might already be too much, and again the upgrade might probably do something to the arrows of the archer to GIVE it that SPLASH damage

no its not much you can even say 25% ive edited maps but levels and abilitys much more so i know what this wolde do on the attack speed of the unit and i can say 25% is even less then the unholy frenzy of the necromancer but that takes hit points so its out of the question

 

[StormKnight]

Will both archers from Highborne and Sentinel get the Lunar Upgrade??

naa its better to be the night elfs only highborns sholde get another ability for that + this is only tinkering with the marksmanship abililty that belongs to the night elfs

 

[Rence Kristoff]

The Highborne put aside their night elven ways so the moon is out, and don't the highborne archers have somethin special.
And HoM, you can reply to as many posts as you want in a single post just press reply. If you want to reply to only a section of the post highlight it

 

[StormKnight]

ok thanks for the tip.
now is every hero from the burning legion going to be present??? cuz i really want to kill them in anycase
including killjaden or if not it least all the other demon lords and dreadlords, seriously no one is going to stop me from unleashing my full on all of them

also how is this ((Jarod Shadowsong)) and what relationship dose he have with maiev shadowsong

 

[Turnro]

And that Lunar Upgrade, is that like the Searing Arrows or Frost Arrows just with that splash damage, Turnro?

Correct.

how is this ((Jarod Shadowsong)) and what relationship dose he have with maiev shadowsong

They are siblings, with Jarod being the younger brother.

 

[soooeree]

can we get a link to download the demo maps

 

[Turnro]

can we get a link to download the demo maps

Yes. There is a link that allows you to play the first 5 chapters of the campaign: Malfurion's Quest v1.2b

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

Hi Turnro, if you complete the version, Please add new Characters (Vared Menethil, Elemental Mage) in next version.

 

[MURDER KING]

I think there are already enough character for campaign, i dont see the point of any others character, and i want to see the Burning Legion in action.
For i doubt will there bee too many news in this last month of this year.

 

[Wrath King]

Who is Vared Menethil??

 

[Rence Kristoff]

I think he made it up. You'll find no Elementalist named Vared Menethil in WoW

 

[Morris]

Hey man supp?
I haven't checked this thread in a while, I loved the Lunar ability actually I was going to tell you to do something about the archers but you already figured that out.
Is there anything else new you can tell us about?

And regarding one of the hivers comment, there are no character named Vared Menethil in Warcraft and it's associated lore and there is no such thing as Elemental Mage there is only elemental shaman

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

Vared Menethil are custom characters @Morris. I want check up about their icon and models.

 

[Turnro]

Hey guys! A new unit has been added to the Highborne race that will be available to play from Chapter 6:

New Unit: MANA WYRM Mana Wyrms serve as an anti-caster unit. They also deal considerable damage to air units with a separate weak attack against ground units. The Mana Wyrm will initially have Feedback and Spell Immunity. In addition, Devour Magic can be researched to allow these anti-casters to consume magical buffs and regenerate health.

I have also received a lot of feedback about the Highborne recently, particularly with Arcane Golems and giving them a more predominant role. My current thoughts involve making them a tanking unit, which is something the Highborne lack with their already existing units. This includes giving Arcane Golems health/armor upgrades, as well as allowing them to taunt enemy units.

 

[Cherrymage]

Nice

 

[Wrath King]

Cool I like it. But Turnro I think the Highborne could use a melee DPS hero since Malfurion and Kathranis cant do much damage after they used their spells.

 

[Turnro]

Cool I like it. But Turnro I think the Highborne could use a melee DPS hero since Malfurion and Kathranis cant do much damage after they used their spells.

Perhaps not, but I feel that the damage input by all their units and spells do sort of make up for it. I haven't made all the units yet, but you can assume the Highborne will have at least one unit type offered in the full tech-tree.

 

[Wrath King]

Well I guess it is your call anyway. Btw I like the idea of turning the Arcane Golems into a tank unit. Whenever I play the Highborne I put 2 golems in the trees and the rest is just Golems Archers to attack. But why exactly allow them to taunt since Malfurion's golem summon can taunt enemies already??

 

[Rence Kristoff]

cool new unit, and malfurion's golem cannot handle a group of enemies if it taunts, better have more so there won't be justt one dying. and finally another use for the golems aside from tree harvesters

 

[Wrath King]

Really?? You use all the golems to harvest?? Actually Malfurion's golem might not be able to handle many units at once but the golem is just a bait. The threat are if u have a lot of archers and focus all attacks on 1 target. It also allows enemies to clump up and be murdered by Kathranis and Malfurion's abilities. So having just 1 golem is not a bad idea.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

not all harvesters,

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

Absolutely @Rence Kristoff.
