Sanctum of Domination Shadowlands

[Faqka]

Hotfixes of Sanctum of Domination: 15/2/23

1. The Nine

• Signe and Kyra armor increased from 8 to 9 on all difficulties.
• Skyja's armor increased from 10 to 12 on all difficulties.
• Skyja's base damage increased from 75 to 85 on normal difficulty.

Developer Notes: After several tests and the short time that this boss fight lasts, it was decided to increase the armor to achieve a more interactive encounter with the boss's mechanics without killing him in just seconds.

2. Soulrender Dormazain

• Ability "Torment" (Dormazain gains 5 damage and 1 agility every 20 seconds after the fight starts) has been replaced with (Dormazain torments Garrosh, unleashing a wave of Anima that deals 90/120/150 damage from Shadows according to the chosen difficulty).

Developer Notes: The change to this ability was made to make it even more similar to the boss in WoW, as well as giving it a chance to deal damage to ranged units even more easily.

3. Guardian of the First Ones

• "Sentry" damage increased from 20 to 30 on all difficulties.

4. Kel'Thuzad

• Kel'Thuzad armor increased from 8 to 9 on all difficulties.

5. Sylvanas Windrunner

• Sylvanas will heal 1500 health each time she jumps off the platforms in stage 3 on all difficulties.

Developer Notes: This change seeks a longer fight duration at this stage to be closer to the Rage timer, preventing units from being able to heal in large numbers while moving from platform to platform.

Bug Fixed:

• Fixed a visual bug that caused certain decorative elements to not be visible on the maps.

Hotfixes of Sanctum of Domination: 22/2/23

1. The Tarragrue

• You will not be able to escape once the boss encounter has started.

Developer Notes: This change was made because he was the only boss in the entire raid that you could exit once it had started.

2. Eye of The Jailer

• Every 30 seconds that the Eye of The Jailer is in phase 3 it will deal more damage per second (4/8/12/16/20, etc).

Developer Notes: This change serves as Rage so they can't get away, losing aggro to recover health and mana.

3. Painsmith Raznal

• "Spiked Balls" damage increased from 100 to 135 on all difficulties. They also received a health increase from 1200 to 1350.

4. Fatescribe Roh'Kalo

• The ability "Fated Conjunction" (Fatescribe Roh-Kalo triggers a Fated Conjunction, causing several beams of energy (150 damage) against players). Affected units go from 8 to 9 on Normal/Heroic difficulty and from 10 to 11 on Mythic difficulty.

• The ability "Despair" (Hurls a flask of acid at a target. The flask breaks upon impact, splashing a powerful acid on nearby hostile units). Affected units will have their armor reduced by 4/5/6 instead of 3/4/5 depending on the difficulty chosen. Cast time reduced from 2.30 sec to 2 sec.

• The ability "Invoke Destiny" (Absorbs the life essence of a target enemy unit by taking 100 hit points per second from it. Lasts 5 seconds). It will go to 150 health points per second but with a duration of 3 seconds. Inflicting a total of 450 HP instead of 500 in fewer seconds.

Developer Notes: These changes are intended to have a more challenging encounter by not being able to introduce the WoW rune mechanic.

5. Guardian of The First Ones

• Added missing dialogue from Bolvar Fordragon after this encounter ends.

Developer Notes: I thought this dialogue didn't exist but then I realized that the dialogue for this encounter is bugged in WoW.

Awesome idea man. If I didn't hate Shadowlands and destruction of Warcraft's story because of it I would play it. Blizzard did fall hard.

Thanks for the comment even if you are not going to play it

Why do you use one custom campaign file instead of seperat map files ?

 

[Faqka]

Why do you use one custom campaign file instead of seperat map files ?

I thought about it but I already had the first 3 maps in development, and since I didn't consider it a campaign either and not having much experience with that section I didn't want to risk.

Hotfixes of Sanctum of Domination: 8/3/23

1. Implemented the character Quartermaster Rahm in "The Jailer's Vanguard" and "The Dark Bastille" giving units the ability to "repair" their armor if they stay close to it.

Developer Notes: This serves more than anything so that the units can recover and make it more similar to what the Raid is in WoW.

2. Removed 2 Grunts, 2 Sorceress, 1 Witch Doctor, 1 Spellbreaker, 1 Priest, 1 Archer and 1 Huntress in "The Jailer's Vanguard"

3. Removed 1 Spellbreaker, 2 Huntress, 1 Priest and 1 Archer in "The Dark Bastille"

Developer Notes: These changes were made to balance the maps due to the new implementation of Quartermaster Rahm.

4. Mini bosses will have a chance to drop (Scroll of Damage, Scroll of Mana, Scroll of Protection, Scroll of Speed).

Bug fixed: 10/3/23

• Adjusted the size of the Arbiter.
• Fixed some mobs spawning during Stage 2 against Sylvanas.

 

[deepstrasz]

It's pretty much killing units on the map. There is little no custom scripted stuff like abilities or diverse and fun gameplay mechanics.
There's also not much more replayability than either playing as the orcs or humans.

Approved.

[Land Eater]

The map is strange. The idea in general is not bad, to try to transfer the mechanics of the raid to the gameplay of Warcraft. But this is done rather lazily. I played this map with a friend, and I still didn't understand a lot. Unfortunately, I couldn't get far even on Normal, because this game is very uncomfortable to play.
But the idea is cool, if you make the gaming experience even a little meaningful and enjoyable, you can even get stuck in it.

 

[Faqka]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep trying to make it as enjoyable and accessible as possible for new players and they don't have so much difficulty progressing on normal difficulty.
