Round Table of Arkain

[Shar Dundred]

I said and meant "enjoy" not "endure".

 

[subzz]

They already replaced Knights in an earlier chapter and they will gladly do so again.

Look guys!!!! Almighty @Shar Dundred have granted my wish. I will send you cake in next year Christmas.

@Shar Dundred
Tower Spam gets nerfed?

I hate destroying your dreams, but I am sure that the chapter with that inclusion had been released before you created your Hive account.
Are you sure you have played all of Arkain?

I will NOT publish any information on this - let the release tell you all of that.

I am playing Arkain long before I opened account here on Hive. I just used to check Maps sections and download maps then. @Shar Dundred

That's one of main reason why I missed a lot of storyline ( As I didn't bother to read threads then)

Storyline is not in the thread here, it is in all the cinematics and dialogues in the game. Also, the side quests are a BIG part of the storyline. Like replacing cav with knights of come, which was a side quest in chapter 6. You affect the story by doing (or intentionally avoiding) side quests.

Firstly, I just replied to @Shar Dundred's question that if I played all the campaigns or not, which I did though I wasn't a member of hive.

Secondly, I do complete side quests. I just skipped one or two cinematics in Book 2, for that I missed details like how Gardon allied with undead or how he proposed that tom boy. ( My bad, I know I know. Don't call the police ).

I am well-aware of inclusion knights of kome as a part of Gardon's army ( I did that first when I played that chapter). Knights of kome are one of my favorite units.

I just asked shar, because I thought he might not include them( and I added my weird , nerdy humor with that ).

I am a Arkain fan , no doubt about it and I am playing for long enough. I just skipped two or three cinematics , that's all guys. Hope this clears all of it. @Boriss

Hey @Shar Dundred, why in Human Book 1 heroes can only leveled up to 6 before the last level? It's a little annoying to have whole chapters where some of your heroes don't level up at all

 

[LISBOAH]

Oh thank God!

Yesterday I was waiting for the next chapter and suddenly this page said "Data Inpage Error" and I couldn't enter Hive for the rest of the night! Phew!

Because the maps before the final mission were not meant for you to reach a higher level.

Arkain will survive each and every database error of Hive!

 

[YetAnotherYoutuber]

and it case it wouldn't, i got most of the previous versions stored on my hdd, including the latest public one

 

[Kasrkin]

Effective immediately the new Mechanical Golem slated to appear in chapter eleven has been effectively deleted. It had caused an almost unreversable problem I will not release any details regarding development, I'm only informing you of what will not appear.

 

[AlexRuloor]

when are you releasing chapter 11

 

[ArchDuke]

No golem? Now I'm mad

 

[Shar Dundred]

Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech. Fuck that mech.

That is all to be said about the golem.

when are you releasing chapter 11

When it is finished.

Chapter 10 issues reports :
Horgar's third skill tooltip shows 0%, but in learn button shows 2%
Mordin's Revenge tooltip is cut in the story part for some reason

 

[Shar Dundred]

Mordin's Revenge tooltip is cut in the story part for some reason

It seems to be a WarCraft 3 issue since the entire tooltip is included in the item's data.
Too much text for the game I guess.
Will have to cut parts of it then, thanks for letting me know.

That too much text thing is the case of several maps loading screens. The history text on map loading screen is always cut mid-sentence.

 

[Shar Dundred]

That is related to your monitor's resolution.
WarCraft 3 has some very annoying issues like that.

Yeah. Age shows. Maybe we will get W4 soon?

 

[DD Mikasa]

Bummer,was look forward to the golems.Eh at least chapter 11 does not have any other major issues.

 

[Shar Dundred]

There will still be golems - just not this particular one.
He already has been replaced.

 

[Championfighter25]

Eh at least chapter 11 does not have any other major issues.

Maybe it won't have anymore technical issues, but difficulty issues... oh the difficulty issues...

Eternal gramnation upon you man. So obvious it hurts.

 

[lekxman22]

I have a good feeling it will be realised in few days
Keep up the good work And make that golem easier

 

[Walichrage]

In chapter 9 I noticed inconsistencies in marking units as living or undead. Pit Lord is undead but all other demons are living. Lasher, Shadow Caller and Mirazeyl (Spider archer Hero) are living, but drider (spider archer unit) is undead.

 

[Shar Dundred]

The golem destroyed the entire campaign.
I am not joking, after its creation, all chapter would lead to a crash to desktop.
That is why it will never ever even considered to be re-added.

Thanks for letting me know, that is not intended to be like that, gonna fix it!

 

[Verb8im]

@Shar Dundred, that's odd. Why would 1 unit break the whole campaign.

Question: is it possible to add some sort of system to where we can change our choices to see how different choices affect a new chapter instead of having to play through the entire campaign again? For example, if that is Lerrig in the Chapter 11 screenshot, but we killed him in chapter 1, is it possible to somehow give us a choice of having him live just to see how that affects the chapter? I know doing it like that might cause spoilers at the beginning of the chapter, but it'd be better than playing the entire campaign again just to see what our different choices do.

 

[LickMyEyeBall]

I wonder how could a single unit cause so much trouble. What kind of perversion that guy was supposed to be?

 

[Championfighter25]

I think the model may have been corrupted, or something like that. There are instances where models can crash and affect the entire map (or campaign file in this case)
Anyway i think we should stop discussing this further. Even i am sorry for going off-topic.

 

[ArchDuke]

i cant wait for the release of chapter 11, i deeply hope that itlll be everything that i thought this ch would be, been hating van durce for a long ass time

 

[Logan Raynor]

now that Shar mentions it again, the Orange Paladin model, the tips about 'right choice long, long ago' and 'an old friend', which reminds me of...

Spoiler

Aaron the Sacrificing and his remnants after the siege of Derryn Outpost

since that was one of the earliest choices to be made in the 1st book, and

Spoiler

Salana & Aaron were old friends

Well, Aaron is dead so... We either killed him or Genethas did it offscreen...

it is still unclear whether Genethas succeeded in killing him without Blen's help or not

 

[Championfighter25]

Spoiler

I don't think it's going to be Aaron since he had an Arthas model, while the paladin in the spoiler screenshot had an Uther model.

Spoiler

Golden Guard Makeover!

That or Aaron grew both weight and a beard...

 

[DD Mikasa]

Could it be Aron?
I have my doubts...Remember there were alot demoms and maruding Orcs on that area beside Genethas/Sir Lering forces...

But i cant seem to remember another paladin of that model(beside the randomly generated ones,or that one accompanying Cleavhand).

 

[lekxman22]

Idk about this but could it be salomar he was paladin
I know that u will say that he died but who knows

 

[Boriss]

Sal´s dead. Make your peace with it man. And good riddance I say.

 

[Daffa]

What if he's Salomar's brother?

 

[Logan Raynor]

Spoiler

I don't think it's going to be Aaron since he had an Arthas model, while the paladin in the spoiler screenshot had an Uther model.

Spoiler

I'm already aware of that one, but who knows, perhaps the Paladin is one of Aaron's subordinates, at the moment I can hardly think of any other party besides the unknown fate of Aaron and his men

 

[Shar Dundred]

Progress report:
We're doing some fine progress for Eleven, I expect it to be a chapter that'll take quite a while to be completed - and a challenge too!
Of course, due to the number of characters participating in that mission, there will be quite some dialogue ingame.

I would also like to use this opportunity to make an announcement regarding Chapter Fourteen:
It will NOT be released here, neither will the Epilogue. The reason for that is quite simple:
Once it has been tested A LOT - and I mean A LOT - the entire campaign will be improved and polished
and then uploaded to the Map Section - as it should be.
Then you can play the entire Second Human Book in its final state with all improvements, polish and improvements
in one playthrough.
You will of course be notified once the campaign has been uploaded.
Regardless, we still have a while until we reach that point, but we are getting closer to the finish
line every day.

Stay tuned!

Gone are those days when you said you wanna the book released before 2018

 

[LickMyEyeBall]

It was an impossible quest from the start. One cannot simply pull off 5 chapters in like 4 months or so. I think an optimistic date would be somewhat september 2018.

Huh, It was late night when i was writing that, didnt even notice.

 

[King Tidus]

i was expecting that ch12 was released by this time, dissapointed to see that ch 11 still isn't finished

I hope you are kidding, right?

 

[Shar Dundred]

The next update will more than make up for the wait, I can already promise (yes, PROMISE) all of you that.
More info about what we are exactly working on in addition to Eleven will be posted very soon.

 

[KoenieG]

Perhaps I'm a bit late with playing, but I really enjoy this custom made campaign, and I can't wait for the next one to come out, it just doesn't seem like there is much progress being made am I right? Will u still be making the other remaining missions/books? I'm sorry if I offended you, but I'm just curious alone for the storyline
