Maiev and her watchers arrived in the ruins of the orcish homeworld, Draenor. They soon discovered that Illidan had come alone, thus the recapture proved to be fairly easy. Then the naga had arrived on Outland, and they had brought new allies: the same blood elves that Maiev had helped before. Maiev and her soldiers fought the naga and their traitorous elven friends, but the new army outnumbered hers, and eventually she was defeated. The naga and blood elves recaptured Illidan and freed him. Upon the warden's final moments, Illidan decided to imprison her instead.Soon after that, Maiev would be contacted by Akama, unsatisfied by not being given the Black Temple as promised and the wary Maiev agreed to enter a partnership and vowed to see Illidan dead.

In Chapter 2, After I destroyed the Illidari Base (purple), the optional quest did not get completed. The Requirement did not get completed too.

It was fine with the eclipson base though. I suggest you take a look at it.

Thank you. I'll see to it.

How can i play this on current patch?

I hope the replies above were enough to enlighten you.

Edit: Also, I've added to the "Known Bugs" section that the Sea Essence do not stack with orbs. So, that may explain why it does not trigger when it should.

I've added WoW voices for the Illidari Council. (Thanks to Zenonoth) Yes, that was all on the update moments ago. I was originally going to wait for another major update to include that but I think another major update will not be in the near future (hopefully no more major bugs) so I've added them now.

Heck, double post. The last post is a few days ago anyway. :p

I reached chapter 5 and stuck there. I did as the quests stated yet one of the main quests for destroying the naga bases isn't marked as completed.
Replayed the chapter twice and same bug. You should know that I have v1.29. If the bug is because of the patch then I'm afraid I can't continue playing

That's weird. Let me check it again.

Anyway does anyone playing the current version encountered the same problem?

Yes, I have also encountered the same problem. I destroyed every enemy buildings and units and also used the full map cheat to see if any units survived. But there were no enemies left. After that I remembered that I had not completed the optional quest. After I completed it, a naga myrmidon appeared suddenly near the shatar base. I killed it and the mission was completed.

And also in the mission 'The darkened sun' it is very hard to defeat Kael. A few units were given to kill nearly eight bosses. Please increase the number of units or decrease the power of the bosses. Overall, I liked the campaign very much. Akama's element mastery is great and I also liked Maiev's umbrai trap very much. Hope you will make more awesome campaigns like this one.

That's pretty weird. I'll check it out.

It's not that hard if you keep your units alive until facing Kael but I'll tone it down a bit again. Are you using patch 1.29 too?

You know, after replaying the campaign, do you ever considered making a coop version since maaaany chapters are playing with their allies? It'd be great since most of the chapters are pretty fun with the ias, though I'm unsure how Chapter 3 submap could work on multiplayer.

Not really in my plans. But if someone can then that could be alright. Yeah, that chapter could be a problem for a coop version.

Might do an update today. Let's see if I can fix the problem of chapter 5.

I see. Anyway what do you mean a naga myrmidon suddenly pops out near the sha'tar? could you tell me more of that? lol
Well, I went to complete the optional quest to the east of the map. I defeated those nagas and returned to the west of the map to complete it. After the completion, suddenly a naga myrmidon appeared not far from the shatari base. But I swear it was not there before as I have checked the full map with cheat. The shatars would have killed it as it was near them but they could not as it just appeared that time. Also the shatars showed the minimap signal and I killed the naga. After that the mission ended.:pir::pir::pir:

Very good campaign, but there's some problem.

First Rangari and Nether Ray, both of their food combined is 4 food, but when become Skyguard, it have 5 food.

Second, there is some units such as Skyguard or Guardian have mana, but they doesn't have skill which cost mana.

Found a bug on Map 9: The really strong demon hunter appears after the Kargath cinematic whether you have let out Azaloth or not. Yellow's base was destroyed before I got to that generator and it made it virtually impossible to let out Azaloth.

Does this happened after you destroyed all the generators or before? I might relocate him or the generator too then.

I had it happen after destroying 1 generator and then again with no generators destroyed. Seemed to be specifically linked to the Kargath cinematic.

That's pretty weird. I'll have to check the Kargath cinematic triggers.

Welp, checked the triggers and found out that in that cinematic, I hid all the units and unhide them after the cinematic and the demon hunter was revealed through that. Thank you. I'll fix it!

Edit: Edited my first comment for some important thingss.

I've started your campaign since 18/10/2020 and my god I love it.

----- Feedback -----​

- Chapter 2 was difficult but i can see why, prolonging the map so players have to think outside the box to win the chapter.

- Loved the sub-map in chapter 3, really well done their. Was a beautiful surprise.

- Chapter 8 - The robot boss that's located on the left side where he heals up from the generators, he needs a buff, that boss was pretty easy just doing it with 2 heroes alone, maybe make the generators invulnerable from being attacked until you kill the two guards protecting it?

-Chapter 9 - When you're given an optional quest to try and find a way to release the pitlord, there should be notification icons or at least show what what we have to destroy to release him. The demon hunter that's defending the generator is way too difficult. when it comes to fighting that demon, it's physically impossible to destroy him.
You should move the demon hunter to a different location or the generator as you require a big army to kill him, after spending 2-3 hours on the one chapter, I realized to not bother trying to release the pit lord and just go for the three generators, but the whole purpose of releasing the pit lord was to distract majority of hell citadels armies to make it easier to go around but i just concealed them anyways.

- You defiantly should show on the map where to actually go to unlock the pit lord.
- You also should add another anchorite as if the only one you have dies, it's impossible to dodge the bosses magic abilities.

- Cinematic were on point. Respect for the work that has been put in and still being updated to this day. Will come back to this and edit when I have finished. Some of the English needs to be touched up a bit.

- Defiantly add a hero to reds base, given when you invade the same time as your allies, yellows base gets annihilated.

Continuous bugs I found:

- When buying orb of corruption from the broken's marketplace, while you hover over the icon (Orb of corruption) you can also see it telling you your food amount.

Chapter 8 - The hero on the aldors side, when you use her 'q' ability... (the healing one) she also heals the enemies blood elves.

- When using dragonstone on a spell breaker, it does not have an effect or any mana resistant units. (The optional quest item you get when rescuing Maive in the dungeon). Wasn't sure if this was intended or not.


Overall result:
Really enjoyed the campaign that much I've actually ruined my sleeping pattern, I hate to admit it but I used one cheat in chapter 2 because I was just stuck and annoyed at the same time. Really enjoyed the Ai's performance in every chapter, it was nice and fun watching the AI's battle. The models were beautiful, I wish you used Maive's new model rather then her old one since it's based in the wow expansions. Chapter 9 defiantly needs a touch up, I feel like the Ai was performing all too well if you invade the same time as your allies you finish yellow's base off too easy. Music is a bit loud in some cinematics.

Thank you for providing a beautiful campaign that continues on from frozen throne, I've been really looking forward to these. It's unfortunate that reforged wasn't actually warcraft which continues off from frozen throne, would of loved to have voice overs in every cinematic.

Finished this up last night and videos will continue to be released over the coming weeks.

EDIT: To clarify, I am on 1.31.1

Overall excellent changes made when compared to v1. All of the new terraining is very welcome as Map 2 is a lot more fitting and I liked many of the layouts of the dungeon/raid instances. Battle for Shattrath is many times better than its v1 counterpart in my opinion, and I really like how you made the entrances split between you and an ally on each side rather than being entirely separate entrances.

Great work finding fitting assets for all of the unique bosses as well. This campaign emulates The Burning Crusade quite accurately! Music is well used throughout, though consider turning it down a tad so as to not overshadow the voice acting in the very final cinematic with Illidan.

Something you will hear me talk about at length in my videos is my opinion on how to make the boss encounters a bit better. Currently, they feel a bit chaotic and happen very fast. One overall change that you may consider is giving the bosses more health, but less damage output overall. This reduces the chances that a player gets all their units locked down and killed in a doorway on their way in before they even know what is happening. Once I started abusing magic immunity from the Anchorites, I began taking bosses down with only heroes and not bothering with my other units because they died to AOE blasts so quickly that it was more worth saving them for whatever the final encounter would be. I think Hellfire Citadel is the most difficult with regard to these observations whereas the later ones had larger, better arenas that allowed you to get your units in before the fights began.

I also think slowing the overall pace of the boss fights down could allow you to incorporate more unique mechanics if this is something that you'd like to do. As it stands, I struggle to think about unique boss mechanics as most Unholy Frenzied themselves, had a War Stomp, and might summon some extra units. Otherwise, it all happened very quickly and I never really perceived extra mechanics if and where they existed. I say all of this really only to focus back on the chaotic nature of many of the fights where it is difficult to get into the arena in the first place and then it's all over in a few seconds, win or lose (except Illidan of course). I hope this is helpful feedback! At the end of the day, I think they all function well regardless, though Hellfire Citadel in particular could afford some slightly larger arenas.

I would never take a star off for this, but see if you can ask a native English speaker to proofread the script. It's like 90% completely fine, but some spots could be touched up to fully polish the cinematics and in-game dialogue.

Big positives across the board:
  • a good variety of powerful, robust tech to allow the player to experiment and win using different macro strategies
  • well made cinematics and use of music
  • stays very accurate to the Burning Crusade with fun liberties taken to replace the WoW player character with in-universe NPCs, especially with the dungeon/raid instances missions
  • noticeable terrain improvements from v1 to v2
  • fun to use and extremely powerful heroes
  • Illidan encounter was well done and the victory lap with the extra folks showing up and the music going was really great
  • great items from side quests and hidden about the world to find that rewards player exploration

Mild negatives:
  • unforgiving nature of some of the boss encounters, specifically in Hellfire because of the arenas
  • I mentioned powerful heroes in my positives because they're fun to use but perhaps TOO powerful to the point where the enemy has to be made so strong to give them a challenge that they tend to absolutely blast through your non-hero compositions
  • Mission 2 attack wave frequency seemed unintended, though I can't be sure
  • Mission 3 Sha'tar actually killed Kargaths left base by themselves, so I never worried about getting over there quickly - I assume this is unintended
  • Mission 9 is pretty unforgiving on Anyndra's side of things - I know you've addressed the strong demon hunter spawning in too early - though the other three perhaps giving a Rune of Resurrection could be in order unless you feel that would make thing's too easy; if the player is saving before fighting then they should be fine to try multiple times and not lose extra units
Well done overall!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it and it's exciting to read long feedbacks!

- Chapter 2 was not intended to be like that. Expect that the aggressive AI will be fixed next update.
- Chapter 9, that powerful demon hunter should not be there before you release Azaloth. Found the cause of that so it will be fixed too. And yeah, I will add a hint on how to set the pitlord free next update.
- I'll check Ishanah's Q ability then.
- I think dragonstone does not work to Spellbreakers because they are magic immune.
- The other bugs you mentioned, I'll see to it.
- Perhaps I can consider to add a hero for the blood elves in Chapter 9.
- voice acting would not be possible for a one man campaign.

Shadows of Hatred v2.1.2 (Patch 1.30)

Well done overall!

Looking forward to the videos! I'll link them here afterwards.

- Ooh, I'm glad you liked the new Shattrath, yeah I think its much better to reinforce your allies that way.
- I've received numerous feedbacks about the music, it seems they are indeed too loud. I'll keep that in mind.
- About the boss fights, I've actually made some changes in terms of rune drops during boss fights (expect next update), like rune of resurrection, spirit link, etc. But in Hellfire I did not since your units are resurrected anyway. About the arenas that are somewhat small, I'll try to make adjustments.
- In terms of boss mechanics, except for Illidan, Magtheridon, Vashj, & Kael which have multiple phases. The others mostly have summon more units, restore mana and cooldown on abilities then that's it. Another exception is the bosses in Black Temple which have at least 1 phase each.
- About the scripts yeah, they can definitely be improved. Hopefully, I can find one.
- About the hero spells, I plan to nerfed Blink Strike from 60/120/180 damage to 30/60/90, mana from 50 to 50/30/10 and the cooldown will remain the same 10/7/4 seconds. Would that be good trade? Anyone can give their opinion on this.
- Yep, Chapter 2 was not intended to be like that. I've seen the video and I was taken aback.
- Yeah, the Sha'tar AI was quite powerful, I was going to nerfed them before but I just added more towers in Kargath's base and thought they would not be able to break through but they actually did huh.
- Yeah, I actually realized lately that I should make the demon hunters more rewarding like dropping tomes since you can literally just aim for the generators then hide quickly. More useful rune drops on next update!

Thank you very much, I've enjoyed every bit of your feedback. :)

it's not much but could we add some Sons of Lothar in Shattrath? like they will quickly respond to the allies being attack but with only a small handful of Footmen, High Elf Priests, Dwarven Mortar Team, and Knights (perhaps a random combination of 2-3 of them plus one Footman) so it doesn't make it too easy or make it too cramped. Perhaps make it as a quest reward from the earlier chapters?

Really good better than the first version but I think the blink strike is too op I think you should reduce it as I has 1 sec cooldown deals 180 damage and can also hit flying units which makes fan of knives lack luster
But that is only mine opinion

In my initial plans for creating this campaign, I've never really thought about considering them and I think it's fine. So, I will keep it that way.

Thank you. Yeah, I will reduce the damage next update. It supposed to have 4 seconds though. Does blink have 1 sec cooldown on 1.31? Because the default in 1.30 is 10/7/4 seconds. I'm curious.

Yeah it seems instant I think the cooldown is the normal level 3 blink and you can watch jayborino video's to see how fast the cooldown comes back to me it seems like 1 second

There is a problem with this week version in chapter 9. Following the plan of releasing the Pitlord, at some point it goes and it's killed by a Demon Hunter, that parts works as intended.

Main problem is that once the three power generators are destroyed it triggers an unskipabble cinematic in the balcony were the Pitlord was killed. If i killed the Demon Hunter before, there will show an empty floor, or if i don't it will show the Demon Hunter doing nothing for a long time, no dialogue or anything else, unless is timmed, but i left it like 5 minutes before closing the program.

Yeah, I've actually encountered that bug last time too. I'll check it out.

Greetings.
Since the Reforged fiasco I have been away from Warcraft 3, but such a masterpiece is always bound to draw anyone with taste back to it. So, how can I play this with Blizzard client? If impossible, can someone please, pretty please, tell me how?

Search here Warcraft patch 1.31 back up files and then you will see how to download old version but you must have the cd key

On 1.31, downloaded 24/10:

Orc casters should have caster tooltips.
One Spirit of Vengeance has the Archer tooltip, the other has none.

First mission:
Possibly a patch bug, but in the intro the camera backs up into a doodad, blocking the rest of the scene.
Why do those two Draenei stay neutral?
Maiev's Shadowmeld doesn't work, she has the Hide icon but it stays unclickable.

Second level:
Attack waves come in simultaneously.

Third level:
Invulnerability potion should be made available as soon as the quest is taken.
Ultravision should be pre-researched, especially since it starts as a stealth mission.
Simultaneous attack waves, again.
Town hall should really be at T2 when you find it.
Ring of Light doesn't do anything when clicked.

Black Citadel:
Archers have unresearched Mount Hippogryph.
Mines without a summon or a way to detect invisibility? Really?
Lava spawns kept showing up even after the summoner died.
Don't know if it's intentional, but the channelers stop using Drain before the fight starts.
Magtheridon's "Did you think etc." line triggered right after "I will not be taken", but didn't play any sound.

Interlude:
burrow -> tunnel
Kil'Jaeden doesn't have a portrait.

Fourth level:
Weird bug where the menu button text is shifted to the side.
Primalist and Battlelord have unresearched skills.
There's a room full of enemies just after a corridor with 4 warlocks. Blinking Maiev into the room without breaking the door lets her kill the enemies with impunity as they don't fight back or run away (she had Holy Barrier on, that might be a factor).
Doodads around Shovrar should be removed, otherwise he summons treants that get stuck behind rocks and it's just sad to watch.
Maybe find a better justification for the sidequest that just helping out a hobbyist.
Why are the power generators floating in midair?
The final battle should start when the gate is broken instead of when the ogre's group is dead (reanimating one causes the game to wait until the reanimated unit is dead for good).
Pre-final battle cutscene isn't immediately skipped, you have to press ESC twice to skip it.
The channelers joined in the battle but were still invulnerable.
During the end cutscene, all heroes should attack (or at least remove firebolt from the warlocks), otherwise they stun her and it just looks silly.

Interlude: Maybe have the part about where they are be said after the battle.

Detailed as ever. I think the camera and the Kil'jaiden portrait missing is patch related issue. I've noticed it from Jay's playthrough.

Hallo evryone. At the moment I'm using the 1.30.4 like the links from the developer recommend it. There is a problem I can't solve by my self and didn't found a solution yet. The WE can't see the campaign file. It's because the file is in .w3p and W3 and the WE are reading only the .w3n files right now.

Do someone know how to translate the file?

On 1.31, v2.1.2

Channeler's Weaken Soul isn't autocast by default.
Draenei catapult projectiles are on fire before the upgrade.
Sidequest buttons should have a little explanation as to what you're supposed to do.
"Take quest" button should disappear once the quest is completed.
Divine Storm SFX displays after enemies are stunned.

Fifth level:
Did I mention the fact that attack waves come in simultaneously? They curbstomped the allied base on my first playthrough.
Giving Summon Sea Elemental to the naga casters is a very bad idea, they end up summoning half a dozen of the things in one go.
Sea Master tooltip doesn't mention that they have Blizzard or Breath of Frost.
No warning that there's a time limit on the sidequest.
Sidequest: Reliquary should be built from the start. Also, there really should be a way to quickly trade lumber, otherwise it's a gamble that the enemies will attack your allies instead of disrupting your gathering operations.
No comment from the enemy draenei once you eliminate them?

Sixth level:
Naga casters have entirely too many offensive spells.
Sporeling quest is awkwardly worded, it sounds as though there's a line missing.
Ghazan only drops a rune of mana?
If killing Meenu is required to progress, it shouldn't be an optional quest.
Mekgineer tries to join the Hydromancer fight while the barrier is still up.

Vashj fight:
* The intro music drowns out her dialogue, she should be louder.
* Units keep getting stuck behind the path blockers after the cutscene. I ended up cheating to win because a third of my forces weren't around to help.
* Boss music doesn't loop correctly.
* The stalkers should NOT have mana burn, especially since they come in before I could kill the previous ones, my heroes and casters are completely dry before I can even take out a single generator (not helped by the fact that half my units are behind the pathing blockers).
* Enemy reinforcements come in too quickly, the elementals end up stunlocking the few units that aren't trapped behind the walls. And they're not even tied to the generators?

Skyguard has shorter range than Rangari, don't know if this was fixed in the new version.
Vindicator and Blood Knight should have caster tooltips.
Guardian should have a different death animation, hearing them die all the time is distracting.

Seventh level:

Ha. Ha. Ha. No.

No gold gatherers at the start, barely more moon wells than there are units, enemies attack at the same time, allies might as well not be there.

Interlude: Not sure if this is intentional, but Adal's portrait shows him as purple where his model is white.

Eighth level:

Scryer upgrade tooltips are unchanged (mention gunpowder, dwarf units, etc.).
Have I mentioned the fact that enemies attack simultaneously? This time they concentrate on the allies first, which is nice of them.
Illusions that deal damage? On a regular unit? I never knew how much I needed to send 12 illusory elephants to crush my enemies until this moment.

Kael'thas:
* The unchosen faction's upgrades should be set to your own instead of wherever the AI stopped upgrading.
* Miniboss cutscenes are unskippable.
* Astromancers have Sorceress tooltips.
* Waygates didn't turn off during the High Astromancer fight.

Ninth level:
Flyers can go through the main gate.
Pit Lord generator can be taken out from the Blood Elf base.
So are you supposed to kill the Demon Hunter before you kill the Pit Lord's generator?

Tenth level:
There should be enough food buildings to replace all lost units.
Can't say I really liked the final fight, too much going on for any real micro-ing. But at least there are enough units given for "throw everything and heal often" to work.
lllidan repeatedly says "I can feel your hatred." Similarly, all of Maeiv's line are used in quick succession.
Boss music keeps playing during the final cutscene, drowning out the dialogue.


Overall good, if in sore need of adjusted difficulties in some areas. I'd have liked more stealth segments (the Black Citadel infiltration is much more easily done by taking out the bases and then bringing in Maiev).

Hallo evryone. At the moment I'm using the 1.30.4 like the links from the developer recommend it. There is a problem I can't solve by my self and didn't found a solution yet. The WE can't see the campaign file. It's because the file is in .w3p and W3 and the WE are reading only the .w3n files right now.

Do someone know how to translate the file?

I don't know anything about this. Sorry.

Thank you. Very insightful. I will try to consider your suggestions for future updates!

Finished all in insane difficulty and was satisfied in all aspects. :infl_thumbs_up: One suggestion tho: Shattrath mission was almost impossible to manage in insane difficulty. During the last five minutes, Aldor and Scryers bases were overwhelmed, and I was forced to corner Maiev and Anyndra with A'dal And Velen. Well, Velen really helped to hold off, but just before only one minute left, mission failed (Altar of Elders, the last structure, destroyed. xD)
How about adding Sons of Lothar as reinforcements? That would be a cool lore point and help.:grin: Good luck!
