The Chosen Ones

[Dragonson]

Hmm... Howsa' these?

2. - Attack of Opportunity/Carpe Diem/"While I'm at it..."
When stealing from an enemy the Battle Thief deals damage to the target depending on the amount of loot gained from stealing.

4. - Steal Essence/Steal Thoughts/Brain Roberry
Allows the Battle Thief to not only steal loot, but also put all the target's abilities on cooldown and drain some mana.
On every cast of Steal there is also a 20% chance to stun the target and a 5% chance to cast charm (normal limitations) on it.

 

[indomitable1319]

2. - Mug
When stealing from an enemy, the Battle Thief has a passive chance of X% to steal X gold from the enemy, and deal damage to the amount of gold obtained from stealing.

3. - The Ultimate Robbery
The Battle Thief has an X% chance to drain a small amount of mana and health when attacking, and leaving a ministun that lasts X seconds.

How about that?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Mug is a good idea. I could do an ability like that:

Mug - When a succeful steal is made also steals gold(unitlvlx10). I still need the last ability to continue making this profession!

+rep

 

[indomitable1319]

I got rep... WOW.

Mug maybe needs some flavoring on it's text.

 

[Dragonson]

Hmm, howsabout...

4. - Shadow Dance
Caster teleports to random enemy within range, performs steal action and then teleports to another random enemy.
This will happen three times total, increasing as the Battle Thief has more successfull steal attempts.
Max is six times, which is at around 100 Steal Attempts.
When the spell is finished, the caster returns to his original position.

 

[indomitable1319]

Kinda complicated, though.
But good.

 

[SaRDaNaPaLoS_QQ]

well, i will give some of my ideas

1) (starting ability) picklock, can open doors/treasures chests, every # of succesful attempts gives points to thief job

treasure chests should either be a lot in number, but give small gold prizes and/or pots...or make them rare thus giving very good loot

abour doors, maybe secondary quests or something...(harder treasures needs more thieft points)

2) critical/ministun/lightning and generally all type of procs...

3) other idea would be to change feint with meld and give epic + last boss true sight

4) pouch steal, the thief can steal the pouch of stunned targets/sleeping etc etc,

the target mustn't have seen him (meld or ww or hide untill another member of the group does that)

pouches can give a whole bunch of stuff...

 

[Dragonson]

Yeah, i know. :S
I'm afraid that it will have to be simplified if used, since that kinda' stuff is very hard to code.

I'm not a coder myself, but my old friend Zack1996 that i mapped with was quite good at it.
And when your job on a map team is to supply ideas for the coder you very soon find out what is possible and what is not.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Tooooooooooooooooo complicated. And should be either passive or auto-cast...

Sorry. :<

 

[Dragonson]

NO problem. Saw that one coming.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

It seems like I didn't read SaRDaNaPaLoS_QQ's post at all, Unlocking doors is a great idea. Now everything is done.

2. Mug - When a succeful steal is made also steals gold(unitlvlx10).
3. Unlock - Allows the Battle Thief unlock doors.
4. Feint - When Battle Thief is attacked, makes him shift out of existence for a short time forcing enemy units take action elsewhere.

When a cinematic begins, I have my hero selected. When the cinematic ends, the hero is not selected.

Fix that please.

 

[indomitable1319]

Awesome spells there.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

When a cinematic begins, I have my hero selected. When the cinematic ends, the hero is not selected.

Fix that please.

Yea I could do that, but what about later chapters when you have more than 1 character? I wonder who I'm gonna select then.


Today I started closed beta tests for chapter 2. So if you want to help me, put me into your MSN list and contact me. I'll give you the closed beta then. The idea behind this is that you test and same time I'll fix bugs and make improvements.

My MSN address is: [email protected]

The next version will come sooner if people help me and I don't need to do everything. If everything goes according to the plans the next version will come out probably this weekend.

 

[Dragonson]

Yea I could do that, but what about later chapters when you have more than 1 character? I wonder who I'm gonna select then.

Shouldn't it be possible to save the selected hero as a variable or something and then re-select that hero afterwards?

Beta 1.1 to Beta 1.1a

• Fixed a problem where chapter 2 started instead of 1 after prologue

Beta 1.0a to Beta 1.1

NOTES

• If you have played Beta 1.0, you can simply load your characters and resources from it, by adding the newest version to your campaign folder, and selecting simply chapter 2 to play.
• I decided to simply open all the chapters just like in Alpha Stages instead of making a system to prologue where you could open chapters.
• Chapter names and the beginning pictures are not yet updated from Alpha versions.
• There are no more commands in this campaign anymore expect camera commands. Check out your Basic Abilities to see the old commands.
• In later versions I'll create the fifth and the last optional quest to chapter 2.
• Like usually, I'll create a new minor version after a major version to fix bugs(if no major bugs are found then no minor versions).

CHANGES:

• Opened chapter 2
• Added a puzzle to chapter 1
• Increases Chapter 1's Epic Boss' Basic hit points from 15,000 to 20,000
• Created two new spells for Chapter 1's Epic boss
• Increases Chapter 1's Epic Boss' Special Spells' damage
• Made stronger some of the Mini-Bosses in chapter 1
• Changed chapter 1's Boss' wall to different looking
• Azureus Set can now be obtained in chapters 1 to 7 instead of 5 to 11

Ooh, a new signature. I don't say it's anything epic but I could use it for a while. Thanks.

 

[Dragonson]

Yeah i know it's not too epic, and i might be making a +Epic version.
But for now i'm leaving it and working on the other requests.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Looks like "we are back to stone age" for me.

By the way, you forgot the first request I was asking from you. The "banner" for my website.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

I like the darker version better ;P
Amazing job either way, keep it on

Heh.
About the banner: I'm doing the others first, due to what i'm in the mood for.
But if it's a problem i can change the production qeue.

I agree. But well, it's for Aero, and if he likes the light one better then it's the one that'l be used!

If you check that website, current banner is that crystal thing. It's okay at the moment, but I want better, a lot better!

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

zomg, what happened to the phodom theme ?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Hello there!

Once again I have started closed beta tests. To remind you, the idea behind closed betas is to get rid of the biggest bugs and balance errors from chapter 3 before releasing the real version. Chapter 3 is only available to be played.

The testing starts immediately and ends in few days, then I will release the official version.

I will only give closed beta for those who have MSN and can chat real time with me, meaning: "you play & I fix!" If you want to help and get the campaign faster to the next version contact me with MSN: [email protected]. I can't do all testing by myself and I need help. We have to remember that I'm the only one actually working on this project.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Good luck everyone for the beta testing

 

[Hiude]

Just curious, does this campaign have a custom inventory system?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Nope.


Okay, now the closed beta is ending, but I still have one problem before the next version. If you at least little experienced with jass please look at this problem.

 

[indomitable1319]

Nope, simple inventory and stuff.
