Orcnet:

The game is quite useful for boss arenas and a must when you have to play in co-op, also if you plan in taking the game in single player then the open slot for the others will give you a playable asset for additional heroes, so that means you end up getting the strategy and hero roles for yourself which is nice.

I had no problems nor concern for the map's terrain output since it relies more into gameplay, further more it would be nice if you can give a region where all dead players will be going to be placed after death, that gives them like a seat to watch the fight for those who are still alive in the arena.

Overall map is quite a boost to play both single and multi-player wise.

I need to test this with others... any takers?

 

[Remixer]

I am surely up to testing (just depends where) contact me however I am hoping you are willing to test my entry as well.

Where did you get the loading screen?

 

[Filmting]

I made the loading screen. Combined MoP loading screen borders with the loading screen from Trail of the Crusader and then put some text over it.

Edit: Also if you wish to play, the easiest way is to use ent or mmh to host on bnet. Only need 4 people so doesn't take that long to get a game going.

I suggest that items are not dropped when you repick, when playing with randoms they stole all the stuffs I had...

Also a -reset command so if you know you've made a fatal mistake you can just retry instantly instead of waiting to get killed off.

Edit: Also dropping/giving potions for other players should not make them theirs, it should still return to your inventory after the round has ended.

What is a pug?

 

[Death Adder]

Basically a group of randoms partying up on the spot to tackle the challange(s).

 

[Tal'Rarity]

That's a pub...

 

[Filmting]

Pub = Place where you drink, (You drunk brah?)
Pug = Pick Up Group

Funny, pub in the old days of wc3 meant randoms as well public games. Everyone's always coming up with new meanings on how to say stuff. Also it should be PUG then, cool map.

and if your old school enough, you'll remember "Puds"!

Anyone adding this to the fun map night that some do here on the hive. I think this will make a good addition!

 

[noob]

I liked WC2 but WC3 have so much more skeletons.

 

[Vinz]

This looks promising, can't wait to check it out when I get to the computer.

 

[Death Adder]

Bug: You can cancel the mage Q ability and spam it without it going on cd or losing mana.

Also the 5th boss ability blue fire/flames leaks, once after resetting they were still present.

 

[Vinz]

That happened to me unexpectedly in one of my maps too, I think it's an issue with channel and/or the ability trigger event.

My guess is that "begins casting" is used instead of "starts effect"

 

[Vinz]

However I always use Starts Effect. If he does use Starts Effect as well, he can resort to using Finishes Casting.

 

[Filmting]

I will take a look at it, also you sure you have latest version? I cannot see how the 5th boss flames should leak, but they might have been so in an earlier version. Also he will properly be remade as i don't like the encounter.

I play with map with others users, It's Good but the users leave the game no reason

The Arena

OVERVIEW - Boss fight map, arena style.
Most bosses in any game are a mixture of execution and learning.
The problem here is that all the bosses are 99% knowledge 1% execution, once you've beaten a fight, you'll never lose again.
This is because despite all their mechanics, all the bosses boil down to a set of rules.

Every X event
Did you read the quest log?
If yes = you win
If no = you die

While all bosses in any game do require the player to know what they are doing. The structured extreme to which this is taken results in bosses that are basically "did you read the questlog checks".

On round 8 the map broke, the boss ran down to the centre and then ran back his spawn point. We waited if anything would happen, nothing did.

All that said, the class design in the map was simplistic but excellent. I like how every class does truly bring it's own brand of utility and not just a retheme of a general tank/dps/heal archetype.

NOTEWORTHY - Cheeseproof, we actually needed a proper team composition to win as opposed to finding a broken class and stacking the crap out of it.

TLDR - Secretly a puzzle game

 

[Orcnet]

Map approved.

 

[kakuzu]

Nice map , and challenging bosses !

 

[giulio]

Hello dear. Keep up the good work

 

[Lazers]

Mystic dispel/dispel scroll should probably mention they get rid of debuffs

Not everyone plays melee and knows the exact mechanics of dispel, and the tooltip only mentions it gets rid of "buffs" which could mislead people

As a result we got stuck on the fifth boss for ~4 hours (over a few playthroughs since leavers absolutely fuck the game up), until we realized mystic can get rid of the -100% damage debuff
