Sounds good. I'll see what I can do about working more to bring the complete version out sooner.

Hello Turnro. I am a war3 player in South Korea and love your campaign. I just want to ask you a question.
First, Mana wyrm's size. Is it large or small? I don't think the little ones fit together.
Second, You have not yet announced the Last Building and Units of Highborne techtree. Do they air or ground?
My question was too strange.
Because I am not good at English, and non-English Native. I used to use Korean translation program. I'm sorry.

 

[AssasinRiper386]

Hi, Turnro, it was a long time but now it's going to be longer, now that the next update is going to be at the end of March.

For the Sentinels, I really like the upgrade to Lunar Archers (kinda like troll berserkers) but this one is much better, and about the area-of-effect damage I'd rather test it first and then let mi opinion about it. And the rest of the upgrades, I have no word but to say "AMAZING". Also, I want to know, who's this Warden that appear in the Cave of Shadows? Is she going to be a new(old) hero or she will only appear in that mission?. And the other think, you mentioned about changing one of Jarod's abilities to a 'some kind of silence slam'. If it is, I don't know if I kind of like it because I really like the 'stomp' he actually has, is it possible that you consider leave the 'stunning' there, or at least putting a 'silence' with a 'slowly' to make it unique?

For the Highborne, the new spells are VERY NEW. About that Power Discharge for the Arcane Golems, is some kind of electrical stomp?. The Arcane Arrows, well, I like it when it caused something like slow or damage per second or else but 'bonus damage' well I think I can give it a try. About the Mass Heal, that means the Violet Sanctum will no longer have it or it will have somthing new?. The Guardian's new abilitiy, the other was pretty good because this one feels like the Lich's Frost Armor but like I said before, I should give it a try.

Oh and... will Medivh make an apparition in the Sentinels storyline? And are the humans and orcs going to be in the final chapters? I know this is a campaign made by your terms, it's just, I was wondering if some known characters like Thrall or Jaina or someone else will appear in the final chapters to help Malfurion stop the Burning Legion? That's all.

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

Dont worry, i can release full version of my own Night elf campaign is The Battle For Eternity in the end of February.

I hope you good luck for this campaign @Turnro.

The final tier building will be ground based. The air units available to the Highborne can be trained at the Sky Tower.

That's all.

Good you hear you like some of the spell changes. I'll be eager to know how these changes go when the update comes out, so they're probably going to stay as they are at the moment.

The warden hero is part of a main quest you get in the next chapter. She is is temporary hero as she shares the same spells possessed by Jailors. I liked the original stun ability Jarod had too, but it was a bit strong for a campaign as well as the idea of slamming a sword into the ground not making much sense.

Power Discharge is sort of like an electrical stomp, only it slows instead of stuns. Violet Sanctums can no longer heal (I've found it more useful as a regular unit ability), but it can cast Blizzard from teir-2 on wards.

Finally, I'm not a fan of telling story spoilers, but the humans and orcs will not be making an appearance in the final missions of the campaign.

 

[Daffa]

Just a lil question. What's the code to skip levels? I'm kinda a lazy bonehead to work from early as I'm interested in the plots only

 

[Turnro]

Just a lil question. What's the code to skip levels? I'm kinda a lazy bonehead to work from early as I'm interested in the plots only

Chapter skip codes

1. Enter the campaign as per usual and play Chapter 1 - A Destiny Unravels
2. Once in, press enter and type one of the following codes:
"sentinel 13" (this will skip to Chapter 4 of the Sentinel storyline)
"highborne 12" (this will skip to Chapter 4 Part 1 of the Highborne storyline)

NOTE: Typing these codes will also unlock all existing maps before it in the loading screen, depending on which story line you choose to skip to.

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

Why i can't use your map if i edit as command. PLEASE @Turnro

 

[Turnro]

Why i can't use your map if i edit as command. PLEASE @Turnro

How do you mean?

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

It's say "Unit data is missing."

 

[Shar Dundred]

You were trying to open a map of the campaign with the World Editor, did I get that right?

They are protected, you cannot open them.

Yes, that is correct. What exactly did you want to know, Nanang Kiroh?

 

[Daffa]

Thanks @Turnro !
Time for another show!

[Summerflowers70]

That is great.I can't wait to play Malfurion's Quest V1.3!

 

[Colonel Aster]

Just wanted to say thst this is one of my favorite campaigns so far

only campaign ive encountered where a simply choice leads to a divergence

 

[zzang11295]

Thanks for posting I've actually renamed Mana Wyrms to Arcane Wyrms as the former didn't make much sense story-wise. They will be the same size as Hippogryphs.

The final tier building will be ground based. The air units available to the Highborne can be trained at the Sky Tower.

oh, thank for your answer=>. by the way, how is Tyrande in Highborne storyline? Doesn't she appear in the story anymore?

 

[Summerflowers70]

I guess that Tyrande might be saved by Medivh in Highborne storyline.

 

[zzang11295]

I guess that Tyrande might be saved by Medivh in Highborne storyline.

me too. but Tyrande almost died in Malfurion's hands, but wouldn't she be hostile towards him? I guess Velinde will be the next Priestess of the moon. Of course she doesn't want it, she'll just take the position by means of Malfurion.

Otherwise, Shindrell Swiftfire will assume a new position, like all of High priestess's leader.

 

[Wrath King]

Which one is Shindrell Swiftfire again??? My thoughts too that Tyrande will be saved by Medivh, but it also crossed my mind that Illidan would be the one to save her considering how he feels toward her but that is unlikely anyway.

 

[zzang11295]

She is appear in highborne storyline chapter 4. But that is my private opinion. If Tyrande is still alive, she must be hostile to malfurion.

 

[MouMou]

When will chapter 7,8,9 (highborne) be released?

 

[Wrath King]

Is Shindrell that sentinel who joined Malfurion when she saw the he was using arcane again??? If Tyrande did survive she will be very heart broken and should be hostile to Malfurion.

 

[MogulKahn]

If you want to talk about spoilers, please use your private messages. Thanks!

 

[zzang11295]

If you want to talk about spoilers, please use your private messages. Thanks!

I'm so sorry. I'll be careful from now on.

 

[Turnro]

When will chapter 7,8,9 (highborne) be released?

I plan to release the content for Chapter 7 near the end of the year. As for the later chapters, they probably won't be released until the campaign is finished.

 

[Anaxie]

Turnro is there any difference in:

Normal / Hard / Insane modes in Malfurions quest v1.2 and the future v1.3?

by difference i mean any extra legendary items like JotH/ AoRtW?

If this is a feature planned later on will these be available in Hard/Insane mode?

any planned Insane exclusive content?

Any possability of having iseedeadpeople: Reveal Map whitelisted from the mission fail screen?

Legendary items won't be something I'll be adding until the entire campaign is complete. When they are, they will be available on Hard and Insane difficulty.

Do you mean having ISeeDeadPeople removed from Insane difficulty? I don't see any reason to other than if the other anit-cheats were to be removed as well.

I understand. Ive always disabled fog in games but always go for the hardest combat and level difficulty. Only mentioned it because i want to do and test insane but fog is an immediate turn off. Your hard mode is sufficently good on all campaigns though... i suppose if insane is just huge numbers and no exclusive content i could survive without.


Do you think you will add legendaries malfurion or scourge first upon completion of final campaign in 2 -3 years

I will definitely update Resurrection of the Scourge and add legendary items to the campaign before Malfurion's Quest is completed.

 

[Anaxie]

I will definitely update Resurrection of the Scourge and add legendary items to the campaign before Malfurion's Quest is completed.

Neat. Good to know the timeline. Dont believe you mentioned that before

 

[Wrath King]

Turnro, when you update your Undead campaign..... Will we get to see more of Arthas???

 

[Turnro]

Turnro, when you update your Undead campaign..... Will we get to see more of Arthas???

I haven't thought that far yet, so we shall see. I'll announce when I am updating Resurrection of the Scourge, though it won't be for a while yet due to other projects.

 

[Glitzage]

Interesting, this story is an "alternate timeline", right?

 

[Nanang Kiroh]

Yes, @Glitzage

 

[Leif_6]

Where can you download latest patch?

 

[GreatOneAce]

Will we get to see more of Arthas???

Wasn't Arthas already killed by Tichondrius and the others back in chapter 2 of Resurrection of the Scourge?

 

[renegade]

Wasn't Arthas already killed by Tichondrius and the others back in chapter 2 of Resurrection of the Scourge?

He means if Turnro plans to rework Resurrection of the Scourge so as to have Arthas appear in other chapters, rather than being killed so early on in the campaign.

 

[Turnro]

Where can you download latest patch?

Malfurion's Quest v1.2b

At the moment, the latest patch was brought out in January last year. A new patch will be available in a couple of months time.

Well, it's great, I just want to point some details:
-The Arcane Arrows have been reduce to 5? I think I like it more when it was 8.
-The now called "Frozen Armor" increases armor by 3. Well, it it would be great if it was by 5.
-About the Arcane Golem's damage, does that mean the armor and damage can be upgrade like the rest of the units?
-The difficult in the first boss fight is Ok, I don´t think it needs to be "slightly reduced".
-In Chapter 5 Sentinel, does that mean that the furlbolgs will aid us and attack the satyr's encampment?
The rest is OK and I'm hopping for this update

On the other hand:
-Have you ever thinking on adding some other type of damage? Like fire damage, frost damage or create one, and probably some other type of armor that combien with them?
-About the Insane difficult, how can you pass the first chapter? What do you have to do to survive?

-About the Arcane Golem's damage, does that mean the armor and damage can be upgrade like the rest of the units?
-The difficult in the first boss fight is Ok, I don´t think it needs to be "slightly reduced".
-In Chapter 5 Sentinel, does that mean that the furlbolgs will aid us and attack the satyr's encampment?
The rest is OK and I'm hopping for this update

On the other hand:
-Have you ever thinking on adding some other type of damage? Like fire damage, frost damage or create one, and probably some other type of armor that combien with them?
-About the Insane difficult, how can you pass the first chapter? What do you have to do to survive?

Thanks for the feedback. I have actually been balancing the Highborne against the computer AI, which explains why Arcane Arrows and Frozen Armor have been slightly reduced. Of course, these values may change.

In regards to your other points:
- Arcane Golems do have their weapon and armor upgrades like the other units
- Yes, the furbolgs are supposed to aid you against the red satyrs in Chapter 5
- I never though about changing weapon and armor types, though I do not wish to create confusion for players with a new system from regular Warcraft gameplay
- The only advise I can give in regards to the first chapter is to micro well and make use of all items you find. I will be adding additional fountains and Moon Wells in that mission, so you won't have to worry about units with too low health a lot

hi turnro its been a long time
iv wanted to point out that why have u replaced the combat mastery ability
i loved that spell and i wolde urge u too replace this mana shield ability with the frozen armor and add a point or 2 to the frozen armor's give bounos.
transition to a support unit at tier 3 is not needed in my look as the highborn have no other melee unit.

i saw back there that u told you have updated the Jeopardy of the Horde so dose that mean if i just download the Jeopardy of the Horde again all the changes will come too an effect ?? or do i need a link of some sort to new ver??,

Hi Storm Knight,

I replaced Combat Master as it seemed too weak of an ability for Battle Maidens. It was not the ability was bad, but rather the unit's health and damage was so low that the ability didn't have much of an effect. If the ability was on a stronger unit (like a hero), then yes it would be quite a good ability. Frozen Armor will be a tier-2 ability, which is why it only gives 3 armor. Finally, the Highborne will have a different tier-3 melee unit that will become available later in the campaign.

For Jeopardy of the Horde, you just have to download it from Hive and play it. If you have more than one version on your computer, you will be able to play both.



In other news, I'm happy to say that my progress with Chapter 6 for the Highborne story is about 50% done. Like my other maps, it will be large with lots of side quests and plenty of places to explore. In the meantime, you can checkout some screenshots of the map below
