Outerworld Arena BETA v.0.91a

[deepstrasz]

A nice old schoolish Hero Survival-Arena map with a good item upgrade system. However, the hero one isn't that interesting, basically upping stats and giving the ultimate ability.
Down part is that the gameplay revolves around usual Warcraft III ability and gameplay mechanics. Items are limited.
Would be an idea to have different hue colours for the item levels.

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.

Hmmmmmmm... Your review gave me positive feedback to make some changes already planned, but under validation:

• Stats scaling for Abilities, which interfer directly into game balance, and consequently into the usage of abilities;
• Improve all existing abilities, making secondary effects, not letting them be exactly what they are in Warcraft;
• Trinket Shop, a planned shop that'll contain triggered items that affect the game rules, like bonus bounty for example;

However, the hero one isn't that interesting, basically upping stats and giving the ultimate ability.

This one took me by surprise. If you have any recommendation, I'd like to hear/read.

Down part is that the gameplay revolves around usual Warcraft III ability and gameplay mechanics.

This one I'm already working on. I've noticed that is more fun to make unusual things than use the standards. The new version 0.90b, which is not launched yet, has three new heroes full triggered, and was fun to develop them haha. I got happy enough to develop my version of Borrowed Time (Abaddon, Dota).

Items are limited.

I'll definitely insert the Trinket Shop. It'll bring new dynamics into the game, and help with this issue. I tried to keep other possible items as "chance of drop", and made the shops with lesser variety, so players can't get lost between waves.

Would be an idea to have different hue colours for the item levels.

In which way exactly? Today, I'm working on this system:

Common, Uncommon, Accessories and Rank 1, Rare and Armors, Epic and Potions, Legendary, Artifact, Abyssal, Relic, Themed, Rank 2 and Scrolls, Rank 3 and the upcoming Trinkets.
