Onyxia's Lair

[Archoniel]

Just finished whatever the standard difficulty mode is, singleplayer, it's very impressive, I loved it, phase 2 is very fun! HOWEVER, warlock AI was a pain to deal with. Before the boss it keeps pulling mobs from a distance and banishing targets for no good reason. Only useful during the bossfight.

Hey! Thanks for playing! It is intentional simulating a WoW Player that pulls everything

I slightly suspected so, in which case good prank!

It's an OK map, extensively using regular abilities and gameplay mechanics with very little scripting for the boss fight. It's a nice multiplayer experience but replayability isn't that wide.

Please don't choose unfitting map tags. Fixed.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

My only gripe is that the Warlock AI keeps banishing mobs preventing everyone else from dealing with them; Otherwise very fun recreation albeit honestly low replayability

Yeah, it can happen, I'll fix it with the next patch.
Thanks for playing it

Any gameplay video? It's hard to be interested in a map when there's not even an image of it

@kadakash1 I put a video in the description now of the great HushBook where he did a run of the map

You are welcome

At first, I expected to see a full copy of the Onyxia Lair layout, but this version is plausible and suffers well. It somehow reminded me of one particular dungeon map from the Founding of Durotar campaign:

Tomb of the Ancients (Warcraft III)

The Tomb of the Ancients was the residence and final resting place of Lord Talendar, located in Dustwallow Marsh in Kalimdor. Though centuries of dust cover this lair, masterless golems still patrol its halls, defending long abandoned corridors and ancient artifacts of power. While he lived...

In the end core gameplay of map - battling Onyxia felt nice on normal difficulty and beatable without any issues. The original raid is more chaotic.
