Progress to 1.9

[Aeroblyctos]

Hello.

The idea of this thread is to give you information what I'm doing right now before 1.9 is released. Questions are welcome.

10.2.2013: Today I've been testing chapter 9. As Fradz just had his own mini-boss and others didn't I decided to create two more mini-bosses for chapter 9: Crystal Guardian for Phodom and Golem King for Galeoth. These are mini-bosses and not strong as the Death Knight solo battles. Now there are 6 solo mini-bosses, 5 team mini-bosses, Boss, Elite and Epic Boss. So 14 bosses totally.

Also here are three pictures I took while testing. I usually forget to take pictures but this time I remembered. Hurray!

 

[Aeroblyctos]

12.2.2013: Last couple of months people have send me bugs. I'm now fixing resf of them and checking that everything works. I'm very accurate that everything works how I want. I will tomorrow do the second big bug round and I believe this time it will take a lot less time than last time to check everything. Why? Because I fixed hundreds of things last bug round.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

14.2.2013: Today I fixed many bugs and later evening I started my second bug round. I didn't test everything and I jumped to places where I haven't had access yet. At first I tested the final main cinematics. I almost cried at the end. The ending of chapter 9 just felt so epic. I can't yet even comprehend what kind of feelings will chapter 10 give me... And there's after that epilogue.... I've multiple times dreamed about seeing these cinematics and now I saw one... Anyway, enough of blather, I go fix bugs. Blast that epic boss was too deadly I couldn't keep even a minute alive.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

16.2.2013: I've been working hard today. After few tests against all bosses on this chapter I went to a 'full test' testing everything. It went well and I didn't even complete it as there was so much to be tested! Here are few pictures from my last test.

 

[sonofjay]

Rainbow spotted! 6th pic!

Best of luck for the next version.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Thanks.

18.2.2013: Yesterday and today I focused on the Combat Kings. I balanced them and made some changes, such as Berserk will become Magic Aura. In the future all Combat Kings will cost 2 Honor. Also I tested the campaign and here are two pictures.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

21.2.2013: Last few days and today I've been testing bosses of chapter 9 and fixing those. Testing is going very well.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

23.2.2013: Today I managed to test two times in a day chapter 9 meaning I'm very close to the next version. Few pictures.

FINALLY! ihave been waiting for this

 

[VakarlanS]

Best of luck in completing the chapter my friend!

I viewed some of the screenshots and i wanna gave a suggestion. Stone of Annihilus is kinda overpowered. Imagine having that on fradz , his instant attack speed with the chance of procing 10k damage is kinda insane just say or maybe not on the hardest difficulty.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Thanks guys.

Indeed you're right here, sarofa. I don't know what I've been thinking. I'll have to balance the item but first I check all the Lucky Items in chapter 9...

 

[mArieL03]

I cant wait for the next version, I wanna play it already ^_^

 

[VakarlanS]

Is it possible for me to suggest some skills or items?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Just make a new thread and start to suggest.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

23.2.2013: I'm very close to the next version. I decided to create not only for me but also for you a status list that shows what is not working perfectly and still needs more testing & fixing. After everything is done, I give the campaign to a few testers who will also test chapter 9. When they've finished and I've finished fixing their given bugs, then it's the time to release the next version.

Hello Aero,
any update about the releasing date?.

thanks.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well, I was thinking this Friday but I believe I need at least two days time until other testers have tested and I've fixed their given bugs. I haven't yet made my part of the testing process too. Also I need one day to install the code to all chapters.

So perhaps Sunday or days after.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

5.3.2013: Testing & Fixing. Had to remove one of Epic Boss' events because it made too much lag. I think I will have to think another event for the boss. With just 1 event, the fight is boring.

[Sin'dorei300]

I see ur progressing pretty fast, gj!

 

[StabYoFace]

So, the 1.9 campaign it's the last verison? I'm playing this campaign since 1.6 and always found some bugs, chapter unfinished and i really hope that this one is the last version.

I cant wait to finish the campaign

 

[Aeroblyctos]

8.3.2013: Yesterday I didn't had much time and I could just do one test round. Later today when I get home hopefully I can finish everything and give the campaign to my test group. I give them Saturday and Sunday time to finish their tests. After that I fix last bugs and perhaps test one last time chapter 9. After that I'm ready with the next version. Also there is a small chance that the next version will also offer Kitabatake's campaign screen created especially for this campaign. It's something that has never been seen in Warcraft 3. We've been creating it last half year.

1.9 beta will be the third last major version of the campaign. 2.0 beta will introduce chapter 10(last chapter) and Full 1.0 is the final version will all stuff included(epilogue and rest of the stuff).

 

[StabYoFace]

So, can you tell me when all the campaign (with everything possible) is finished?

 

[Doomlord]

The awful truth behind the campaign screen:

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I said 4 years ago "next Summer" when someone asked the same question. I will have to once again say "next Summer". Let's hope this time I'm more accurate.

The awful truth behind the campaign screen:

Kitabatake is super lazy when it comes to something else than his own projects. Well, okay, he's lazy even with his own project. Hah.

 

[mArieL03]

is the new version done already????

 

[VakarlanS]

 

[Aeroblyctos]

10.3.2013: I did a few crucial changes to the Epic Boss of chapter 9 and that's why things got delayed. The official site is having some serious problem with our new host and we're thinking with Xarwin to change the host. We gave them one last chance to fix things. Hopefully today everything is ready and I can give the campaign to other testers. If so, I believe in three day the next version is released.

Also I'm proud to say the the campaign screen is done and it will also also be released in the next version.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

13.3.2013: The feedback I've received has been positive and many things have been fixed. You can now except the next version come any time. Hmm. Today is Wednesday and Friday is so close so I'll release the next version then.

 

[mArieL03]

No, no. I will still need to fix few things from other chapters. I'm currently at chapter 4 fixing and what is left is 5, 6, 7 and 8. Also I will have to go a "gig"(I wonder if that's the correct word?) where I'll have to take few pictures and write an article. But that doesn't take more than 3 hours.
