Master Arena v3.4b

hivepic.png



Editors Note

This map has a new official thread at here

The map will load MUCH MUCH FASTER now! Compressed the map with widgetzer too and now it loads even faster than before + 0.4kb less.

The hero revival system is totally remade. Now it is pure vJASS and runs on a single timer for each hero. Also the time displaying is now locally for each player meaning that each player will only have their own revival time and not others due to complains about spam when lots of heroes die at the same time. Also illusion master will spawn very very few illusions now and not mass them as previous. It was meant to mass the illusions as it is -illusion- master. But due to complains I've fixed that too.

I've added a text generator. Basic it works like this, a hero takes or deals damage, a floating text shows up either red color for taking damage and blueish for dealing. Works for illusion masters illusions too!

Yes now I'm in charge of this map, I took it over from CHA_Owner now so credit to him for keeping it up. For this new versions in the 3 series (and 4) there will usally be lots of performance upgrades and not so much focusing on the heroes. Of couse balance is a must but for the first version I haven't added any new hero but you can expect it in the future!

Also I've protected the map for many reasons but mostly for optimization purposes and gameplay increasing. If you want to know something "how did you do that" or "what is that" I will gladly respond to your questions.

Enjoy the new version of the map and happy gameplay!

Becareful not to view the replay in a speed multiplier that doesn't show pop up text(the text that shows who killed who, etc). My 2x doesn't show it, but my 8x does.

EDIT:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ch9521m1t41dy9h

I just tried again, this time with fire master. The same error message was spamming again later into the game. Also, fire master's meteor wasn't doing any damage at all.

EDIT:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pp59bauqb746bz9

This time, using the engineer master. In this replay, I found a technique that can be abused. It also seemed that the same error messages occured at a much slower pace. It stopped for awhile. I abused the technique one more time, and the error started rapidly showing up again right at the moment.

The abuse is activating the Mega Cleaving Transmuting attack. It toggles on/off, and when you toggle it on, it summons this unselectable unit that looks like a human dummy made of white skulls. It dives around its summoned point and impales one random unit, making it take 100 damage. It does this again and again, using the new location of where it dived to in order to extend its range, until a "duration" times out and it explodes in a scourge building death animation. I abused this for testing and i ended up summoning 5+ of these. They all dived at the enemy AI hero when he was the only target. Easy kill :p

ok, I had all slots filled with computers, might be the reason ;) and the shutdown could have ocoured because of the lag...

and btw it kept givin that message every (+-20%)0.5 second for like 6 minutes before I ended the game.

The Fire Master is really strong, but also really bugged:
If the target dies before those two fireballs move towards it, they just stay there and won't disappear.
If you die before the Fire Wards release the fire, they don't release it.
Fire Wards sometimes glitch and release 2 waves of fire at level 1. I don't know what causes it, but it happens.

Really good progress, looking forward to more :D

Thanks alot! :) Yeah I should really fix the AI sometimes with a better one.

Yeah the shut down might be the lagg. Don't worry, I have a great computer and it still laggs sometimes with full house of AI's. The AI is kinda weird I have to say but hey it works and it's basic.

I know what you are talking about, I have seen replays of that bug.

The Fire Master is really strong, but also really bugged:
If the target dies before those two fireballs move towards it, they just stay there and won't disappear.

Yeah I will probably either reduce its hp or reduce the damage :D

Oh I'll fix it, I just copied the spell into my map ( it isn't made by myself so I didnt really check it and I havent recieved that bug )

Yeah I've noticed it sometimes and it's weird as it shouldn't be possible. But I'll remake that one too ( as I copied over this one too )

Thanks all for your feedback and comments, I appricciate it!

Review:

Gameplay:

It follows the generic AOS mechanics, 2 sides spawning units to defeat each other, with player heroes supporting them.
However even though your map isn't that original, you've mixed some AOS features from different other ones, like the teleporters from Blizzard's Halloween themed AOS.
There's a wide variety of heroes, all of them with custom spells, fitting ones and really flashy and cool ones.
There's also a neat amount of items to buy, a lot of them with shiny model attachments!
The AI bots are also a really cool addition to the game, along with them actually being very advanced and hard to kill.
The mega creep behind the castle is also a nice treat for high level players.
Combat overall is fast-paced, heroes don't have too much health and the creeps die really fast, so the map's always moving on.
There are also multiple commands, like -clear and -repick, etc.

Terrain:

The terrain isn't anything pro-like, with huge structures and with lots of details, but it does match the map title, because it does kind of look like an arena, where the different tiles are all very symmetric, as is the whole terrain and the tile variation makes the terrain look kinda cool, while not putting that many doodads around the map.

Other:

Neat preview image and THW description, along with a video!

Overall:

A really cool and fast-paced AOS map, with a wide variety of heroes along with AI controlled heroes as well, but kind of unoriginal.

Rating: 4/5

This is really entertaining fast paced AoS map. Heroes are all well-themed and has suitable spells although some of them seem a bit overpowered. However when playing with 4 or 5 bots per side it starts lag after 10 minutes or so. I really hope you fix those memory leaks.
