Rise of the Blood Elves v3.0

[Johnnis]

Best custom campaign I played so far. It rivals Blizzard's campaigns.
If not for the voice acting I could have swear that Blizzard made it.

The story, the beautiful and balanced new units, the variety of missions, the music...

I can't believe that ppl can make something so good on their free time!
I don't know what else to say, the quality is overwhelming.

Congratulation and thank you for sharing!

 

[Bilion]

You are a brilliant mapmaker. This campaign has been almost as enjoyable as the actual blizzard campaign, if not more so due to the immaculate gameplay and unit balance (of course the lack of voice acting, and a few bugs like not being able to see any dialogue in game from the characters do set it back slightly)

I cannot emphasize enough how talented you and your team are, from the story to the unit design and map making. Thank you so much for this absolutely fantastic experience! I would pay for more, honest.

You need to go into options and turn on subtitles

Hi, guys! I don't know if I am the only one with the problem I have, so I hope this can be easily fixed. After the Tempest Keep interlude, the third mission does not load, the screen just goes black and stays like that forever. Anyone has encountered this already?

 

[Alliance10]

Sorry dude never encounter that problem

 

[Hotwer]

Also, finished the Campaign, and it's wonderfull.

It happens if you don't have the latest version of Warcraft III

Oooops, my bad, I didn't have the latest version. Now I am up to date and everything works just fine! Thanks for the help!

 

[tomoraider]

I've been away for a while! Thanks to everyone who posted about enjoying the campaign!

I'm probably using them wrong, but what's the niche in the Hawkstrider Knights? They're barely (15 gold, 0 wood, and 0 food) cheaper than Blood Knights but are much frailer and not as versatile. Are they meant to be skirmisher/harasser units? They are T2, I think, so there's that.

You are right. I will update the Hawkstrider Knights.

You're right, and I've to be honest about that, he made a great job. Everything what I'm saying is about that I really would like an option to select an easier dificulty and play enjoying the story, like in a Wonder Wheel in an amusement park.

Yeah, the campaign can be tough at times, and I do actually like the idea of a story mode. I'm not quite sure how I could do it, but I will consider it sometime in the future. Multiple difficulties is something I actually wanted to do, but somehow I never really got around to doing it.

You are right. I will update the Hawkstrider Knights.

That would probably help, yeah.

But still, are they meant to be raiders? :O

That might be why I can't figure out their niche, I'm the type who has no idea what to do with orc raiders beyond "lol Ensnare the flying units! 8D"

I almost think Arcane Golems could stand to be toned down, they're pretty fantastic at their job of charging in at the head of attacks to soften the enemy up for their allies to follow.

[Hotwer]

Yes, sometimes Liandrin teleport to some places where she gets stuck, but I'm not sure if Tomoraider wants to remove this 'feature'.

 

[Heimgri123]

I have a problem with the cinematic file, i doesn't want to load, it just jumps to the first level. What do i do wrong?

 

[tomoraider]

Oh, Liadrin, you crazy child.

I have a problem with the cinematic file, i doesn't want to load, it just jumps to the first level. What do i do wrong?

Honestly, I don't know, some people have said it didn't work for them, it worked for others, it always worked for me, so I have no idea what could cause it to not work.

 

[Joinma]

Your warcraft 3 was a RIPPED version. I doubt that cinematic screens in vanilla campaigns will work. In order to make it work, you need to get other versions that is not labeled as RIPPED.

 

[Fallensk]

Yeah, i know it is annoying but i have to ask you, Tomoraider.... Will be there an update for Curse of the Forsaken ? I, I just have ti know bcos i love your campaigns so much

P. S. What happend to Seeds of Faith ? Is it still alive ?

 

[aeman]

liadrin and alessandra voice are different in chapter 11

 

[Graetgames]

liadrin and alessandra voice are different in chapter 11

errr... your wrong.
Liadrin and Allassandra voices is different in nearly all of the chapters of this campain.

 

[aeman]

errr... your wrong.
Liadrin and Allassandra voices is different in nearly all of the chapters of this campain.

i mean liadrin voice is priestess of the moon and alessandra voice is err... shandris, naisha or huntress

 

[Raxistaicho]

i mean liadrin voice is priestess of the moon and alessandra voice is err... shandris, naisha or huntress

Yeah, that's an oddity of the way WC3 handles changing voices. It happens if you play a normal game and then switch over to Rise of the Blood Elves. The opposite happens if you do it the other way around.

Closing the game out completely fixes it.

 

[tomoraider]

I might update Curse of the Forsaken. No promises.

As for Seeds of Faith, I was not happy with the final product and will most likely never release it.

liadrin and alessandra voice are different in chapter 11

What Raxistaicho said. It happens if you play a normal map before RotBE.

 

[Currentmaster]

Hi, you did an excellent job there! I've always wanted to play as the blood elves!

I think the last part of chapter 3 should be more challenging. Even if you don't have much units it's too easy, considering the enemy waves are small and there are long time intervals where nothing happens.
The Legion minions in chapter 10 sometimes go back and fort. This happens when they're about to exit their base.
In chapter 12 there seems to be a bug with the timer. It starts at 27:30, but around 17:00 it resets to 32:00. And wouldn't it make more sense for the timer to expire when you kill Kael, not when you encounter him? Because now you can just go to Kael, then go back and you have all the time of the world to prepare for Kil'jaeden.

But overall it's a great campaing. Story, music, visuals and gameplay are awesome!

I believe you're referring to when Alessandra appears, and if that's the case it's intended, as she's interfering (somehow) with Kael's ritual.

 

[Currentmaster]

You're right, I missed that.

 

[Lord Siler]

Very nice campaign, 5/5

 

[Anton Dragonpride]

It's a while since I finished this campaign. But until now I have enough time to answer in the language in which I'm not very good

I see a changes in texts when I gave them more during my translation. And it's much better.

I miss a little Aewynne nostalgic memory about snow. Stopped briefly and then immediately thrown back into reality.
It appears to me odd moment when Kael'thas command executions of farstriders for withholding the information about Alessandra plans instead of imprisonment. Surely this is treason but immediate execution?
Good change in Forsaken and Blood elves know about each other.
Chapter 8 was chalenging for me since I'm not good in multitasking but after destroying green base ... I manage to win somehow...
Realy like/hate this mission and it would be splendor as defense for two players.
Next one is chapter 10... when I finally manage to overthrow nagas Royal guards, then... Kargath came... and my base was no more... XP (played v3.0.2)
Same problem in Illidan cinematic when game crashed, but not completly just on Windows taskbar. Then continue.
In chapter 11 Felorcs and Nagas try avenge their dead masters?

Lower collision of units is OK but often is battle mess where I can not determine where which unit is. Probably just my problem.


Hmm... I cannot remember anything else in a moment...

In the result. Very nice campaign and I like it.

Make sure you have the latest patch

 

[psaraq]

Just leaving a comment to 5/5 it. Apart from the ending as discussed in the other thread and some small balancing issues that I don't think you really can get right without a proper budget I thought it was brilliant. I loved how there was something unique and memorable about almost all if not all of the chapters, my favourites being dealing with the clans in the Chapter 2 and the double base three-front defense in Chapter 8 of the very same Silvermoon we've just conquered with a 5 hero army in Chapter 6, and the sneaky stealing of the fragments in Chapter 4, and being the third side of the conflict in Chapter 11, and well, all of it was awesome, really. Amazing work.

 

[Apostle]

This campaign is awesome, overall 5/5

It could be that the folder destination is on another path. It happened to me, I had WCIII 1.27 installed on another folder and, when I updated to 1.28, the game still loads the 1.27 folders (which haven't been modified, thing that should've happened with the new patch system).

 

[vexeer]

Do you have any idea how to fix that and ty for telling me that

 

[ZodiackTV]

I just use the 1.27 folder, so I don't know how to help you, but you could search for other WCIII folders on your computer and maybe drag the campaign there to see if it works.

 

[Percival Fallas]

This is the Best Campaign I've played on Warcraft, Thank you for this Journey.

 

[Fallensk]

Yeah, 1.28 changed the folder locations. If you go to Documents/Warcraft 3/Campaigns, that's where you put campaigns now

 

[Fallensk]

[tomoraider]

Whoa, good to know! I have to update the instructions for this.

 

[Jayborino]

Install instructions not updated fast enough, 0/5 campaign.

 

[micca]

I do not know what is going on, but after I started a prologue, it was immediatelly skipped direct to a next map. Also dark green orcs (forgot the name, but it is the smallest clan) in the second chapter got bugged, when they have only one grunt, one barracks, one town hall, some farms, and two peons and they did not build any buildings nor units (destroyed tower for example and other grunts, mages etc.).

 

[Anaxie]

Let hope newest patch d8dnt fuck it up :/

 

[Svyshlov]

Good day!
First of all, I would like to say thanks for such great compaign. The story is great and the new units(especially arcane golems) have very good mechanics.
Unfortunately, I have encountered two problems:all heroes are silent(During the mission, when they comment on achieving the objectives) and abilities have no description. First, I thought this is because I am using Russian client, but I installed English one and nothing changed. Anybody can help?

 

[JCarrill0]

Just downloaded 3.0, but I still have 2.1
Is their a big difference from these versions?

I plan to play these later

 

[pyf]

The changelog should answer your question...

You mean, this did not fix your issue?

Have you installed the most recent patch? (that is, Patch 1.28.2)

 

[micca]

No, I do not know how to install it, it always gets stuck at 68% and after a while the updater just closes and nothing other happens. Do you know what can cause it?

 

[pyf]

This is a question to ask in the Patch Discussion forums.

** edit **

The OP has just been edited for clarification. It now says that one must have at least the 1.27 patch installed for the campaign to work properly, and not the most recent patch currently available.

 

[Polarus]

On the Chapter Three (with the most recent update), I found that the farstrider units/faction/allies, as soon as they killed the Lady Liadrin's faction, didn't attack Kael'thas Loyalists. In fact, they were friendly with them. I even brought over one of the Kael footman to see, and their priests HEALED that enemy footman (not sure if this noteworthy for your tech side, but neither my priests or the Farstrider's healed one another unless specifically targeted with the heal spell). Also, Lady Liadrin blood elves for some reason did not count along with dead blood elf side quest, only Kael's. Lastly, as soon as the second phase (so to speak) of the mission started, some of the towers were still neutral as as well as both dragon hawk nests. Not sure if any of this is intended or not, but I thought I should let you know =]
