The Road of Destiny <I>

[Alireza Evil]

Ok so i encountered somthing else.. I completed jone's optional quest and it wrote: Optional quest failed why? I spent a lot of time doing it and this is really absurd.

 

[PhucTH]

Can I ask you what is the name of the song that the bard sing when you finish her side quest in chapter 1? The quest that you recieved the wand?

 

[epohym]

Will u made another campaign in future ? Bcos this was awesome so i hope so

I think the author is pushing forward to The Road of Destiny II, though his studio collapsed and was reconstructed in the past two years.
I got news from him that the leading role has changed in the second campaign but Kastie will still play an important part.
And again, I'll help with the translation once it's done - hopefully this summer.

Hi, you have to do the man's Quest first (I don't remember his name), then you go to Jone's... I hope that you saved the game before doing Jone's quest, otherwise you'll have to restart the chapter, if you want to complete the "memories" quest... sorry

Wow, did you contact him directly with messages? or figured out another web page that his currently working on?
If so, could you leave a link of that page so that we could see the progress of 'The Road of Destiny 2'?

As the translator of the group I contact the author personally. He said that he had completed all the terrain work, which would beat this one, and he was working on the trigger part. I don't think he updates his progress regularly on a website, though.

You have no idea how much this news made me happy, I'm glad to see him working on the sequel but sad to hear that he stopped because his studio collapsed. Good thing it go reestablished.
This campaign was epic and I'm sure when he releases the next one it'll be even more awesome.

Oh my god.. You were the translator of this game? Thank you so much for your hard work and conveying information about this map. Please tell the author and their team that I'm really looking forward to see the next series of this masterpiece. Additionally, i cannot play the other maps after playing this magnificent map, which means this map is the best map for me ever. So, I hope to see the next series as soon as possible (hopefully next month).

Will we receive any news from you on the campaign?

It's pretty easy to reach there but you need to begin the map from beginning or if you have a saved game after the assassination quest,anyway after the assassination quest you need to reach to lumber mill ,there will bee some demolisher and you can used them for a short period of time used them to destroy the forest nearby and watch by the orcs they will try to destoy the demolisher,now use your mind and pay attention on map .

Well, after like 2-hs, i finally figured it out. thks mate!

Just skip to the * for my question and opinion, I finished the campaign.

I don't know if anyone's still looking at these forum threads but I started playing this campaign, currently at chapter 4, I finished off the naga base, went up to the ancestral rock and finished it off, then went to some gate that was not possible to open with some empty room? I tried to go back on my tracks but the lift could not be lowered again (the switch was inactive).

Anyone know what I can do ? :/ I really enjoy this campaign and wish to continue.

edit: I loaded an earlier save and by not keeping the panther on the switch permanently it remained active, I guess this was an error from my end? But regardless, I still am at this gate with no clue what it is for and what purpose the empty room serves.

edit edit: well i moved on a bit , entered a cave, then suddenly i get an endless wave of ghouls, i kill them for like 15 minutes straight with no end in sight cause they're spawned every 3 seconds? (seems very bullshit like, this part is impossible to go by fairly so i think i'll have to just use every cheat possible unless someone knows an actual solution but i doubt it)

edit edit edit: Sigh so in the end I finished the chapter, somehow missed 2 sidequests which I'm sad about and when i did the vision cheat I saw so much on the map that I wonder if I could have done. (the orc, undead and night elf base and so many neutral mobs that I didn't get to see .. quite a letdown at the end.)

My tip is: please make things less obscure/hidden , I already went back and redid so many things, I read in comments the chimaera treasure is in chap 1 which I really wanted so..

*, so... I just finished the campaign and I must say it kept me through till the end, I probably would rank this in my top 3 along with Malfurion's quest and The chosen ones. Lovely music, great map design, strong story and very in-depth map filled to the brim with all sorts of items, doodads, props and more. I'm at the same time glad and sad, cause I enjoyed it thoroughly and wish I could continue already, I hope now if someone can inform me whether or not there will be a Road of Destiny II cause I think I'd be one of the first wanting to play through it.

In the end I'd give it a solid 5/5 for terrain, music, gameplay and story, the story with the side missions and the in the future mission made me a bit sad at seeing how things will go. In the end I got little to no complaints, sure the missions were extremely lengthy and sometimes I'd miss out on stuff but that I still restarted to go back for them if not to late, I had frustrating moments of difficulty but overcame those eventually. The only real wish I have (which is in the lower part when I experienced chapter 4) is about the storage boxes and things being hidden (I intend on playing chapter 4 again with the first choice). Last point: I enjoyed the crafting of items but my question: stone of lava + stone of gravity, etc for heart of the land, for this you sacrifice your fire elemental, your 2 bulky rock elementals and such for a channeling cc ability that also hurts allies and deals minor damage? In the end I didn't bother upgrading to most 'epic' items cause it meant losing my elemental minions which were amazing at soaking up damage and bodyblocking. (honestly having 4 wind elementals, 1 fire that can duplicate itself up to 8, 2 rock elementals and 6 water elementals with Bash?!! (bash is OP ) .. then I wonder why I'd get rid of all those minions for a below average channelling skill which leaves me wide open.

Overal, I thoroughly enjoyed The Road Of Destiny and will probably replay some parts and choices just to see differences, I'm hyped for the sequel, if any. (please let there be one )



[this is when I was playing during chapter 4 , not really relevant info.]
Meh, overal it is a good campaign but being able to summon your inventory boxes or have a teleport skill/item would make this alot more pleasant, along with the fact of making things less hidden cause I see the effort made into these maps and like to see all of it but I am unable to . Overal, 3.5/5 from me, would be better without the tedious backtracking for items and the things being hidden way to hard.


Bugs : At some points in the campaign , when using Paris and I'd use his ultimate (the one that gives regen and 1000 armor), the buff would remain active far longer than most times, like 5-10 times the normal duration making some bosses a complete joke. I don't know what replicates this scenario though so, sorry for that.

 

[Wings of PegasuS]

I found a bug in chapter 2. My troop can't go through the bridge where a huge wolves pack live.

Edit: I used Kastie to make a vision to the orcs and used Katherine blink into them, and get the next part. I thought its the solution. But Im wrong, I only can play Katherine and after that, I saw the voice of Jone in Log but didnt see her. And now I know that was a wrong way.

 

[jojkov]

Any news of The Road of Destiny 2? This was my favorite campaign together with OgreBob's Thievery

 

[Fallensk]

So, is this project dead ?

 

[Starlven]

ROAD OF DESTINY 2 ? I LIKE THIS GAME PLEASE DO MORE

 

[jojkov]

ROAD OF DESTINY 2 ? I LIKE THIS GAME PLEASE DO MORE

+1, it was quite addictive, we need mooooore!

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

Good and Exciting game. I never thought I would find searching around rocks and trees so fun... but the item building really makes it worth while to scrutinise a map.

The game play is also quite good but I prefer building an army rather then sneaking around with heroes that can't die(can't die most of the time). if you are looking for conquest this isn't the map for you.

I love the fact that at certain points in the campaign you can cheat the system simply by waiting it out. most games limit the crafting upgrades per a level but in this game as long as you have the resources and time you can cheat away ^-^

story wise... a little boring and forgettable but the most important thing is the feeling of power

Power Power Power!

of course I haven't reached that part yet but I can feel the anticipation building

------Error-------

there is an access violation error in the memory of jone Ridgewell quest.. I believe it is caused by here ice spell seal of ice because it has crashed twice when I used that

I completed the whole memory quest and then I get this error

optional quest failed- Jone's memories: phantom of the snowland

I'm pretty pissed off... the whole mission was a waste of time

that guys memory mission isn't great either. the math character can die but the mission doesn't end

Final statement:

This campaign was enjoyable, I mean I devoted 4 days to it so that pretty much proves it, but ultimately the story line was depressing. The conclusion and the final map, was all very depressing. If drama is your thing then go for it, but I feel there should have been some sort of warning before I devoted so much time into a depressing conclusion. The final map also had a few bugs there were really annoying, both the memory missions pissed me the hell off since completing those missions earns you nothing! The time mission was a little off putting and again, drama.... so so very sad.

Still 3 out of five stars, good effort I enjoyed your map it was worth playing

 

[Kuko]

i have 1.21b bot it does not work for me

 

[Kuko]

update to which version?

 

[deepstrasz]

update to which version?

I played it on 1.27.

 

[Jayborino]

I'm way late to the party on this one. Chapter 1 has so many things to find that I'm constantly anxious that I'll miss things. Is it worth giving up the Elven Costume and its upgradable stats for the Ancient Attire?

 

[jojkov]

Hi Jayborino, i envy you, it would be great if i could play this amazing campaign for the first time once more
Ancient Attire is definitely more valuable. Those 5 additional items you can carry is really nice, i wouldnt be able to play without it, especially in later stages.
I remember i tried to make that tailor in chapter 1 to make another set of Elven Costume, but he ignored me, lazy guy

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely be going with the Ancient Costume. Does anyone know if the Chimaera statue is used for anything in Chapter 1?

 

[jojkov]

No problem. Ah, Chimaera, its kind of complicated... When you go to right down corner, there is a river. Instead of crossing it, walk inside the river until you find water elementals. The biggest one has a chance of droping Pearl of Water Spirit. Other option is to combine Dew Container+Hemostatic Herb to get it too. When you are returning from the water elementals, go straight where river is bending and you will find Treant of Teldrassil. If you have Pearl of Water Spirit in your inventory, he will give you hidden quest, which spans over all chapters.

 

[Jayborino]

Ah ok, that's the one that results in a broken item after all the chapters, haha

 

[Raven80]

Hey Jayborino, i believe this could help:

QUEST: King of Chimaera

This is probably one of the longest and most complicated hidden quests. It runs throughout the campaign. The reward "Avatar of Chimaera" is mighty but also full of bugs. Here I must apologize for it. If you just want an artifact I won't suggest you even try it, but if you are interested in completing this hidden quest, please read the hints.

Chapter One
When helping Druid Ceredwyn fight the satyrs in one of the optional quests, you can walk along the river and find several water elementals. The largest one has a chance to drop an Essence of Water. There's a treant NPC nearby. Find him and receive a task to take the Essence of Water to the Woods of Chimaera where you'll obtain the Horn of Chimaera.

Chapter Three
In the orcish siege equipment camp you'll find a shining crystal in a barrel. In one of the secret regions there's a Wild Mur'gul that has a chance to drop a golden key. Besides, In the optional quest of helping Katherine on an investigation, you can find several fire elementals in the wood below after killing the lich. The largest one has a chance to drop a golden key as well. You can acquire the golden key from either one.

Chapter Four
No matter if you choose to slay or track the death knights, you'll find a yellow statue with a flowing circle somewhere. Take the crystal with you and enter the circle to get another crystal. Enter a secret region via a rotating way gate, break through Nagas and a huge rock elemental, open an elven gate using the golden key, take the two crystals with you and enter a flowing circle, then the two crystals will combine into one.

Chapter Five
Bring the combined crystal and the Horn of Chimaera to the Chimaera Royal Roost in Grove of the Ancients and receive the task from the king of Chimaera, who asks you to find part of his body. As a supporting role Jone Ridgewell goes into a submap of her memories in Alterac Ruins, she will reach a zombie village in the way. If she manages to kill a crypt lord at the top-left corner before dawn, a bloody key will be dropped. The key is used to open a gate at the bottom-right corner and the creeps there drop the Claws of Chimaera, which should be taken back to reality so that Kastie can find it in Jone's luggage in the main map. Finally take the Horn of Chimaera, the Claws of Chimaera, and the combined crystal to the Chimaera Royal Roost and the whole hidden quest is completed and you receive the Avatar of Chimaera as a reward, which I suggest you just leave it there and never take it up.

 

[jojkov]

Yeah, but the items which led to it had some options too, like agi +10 and increased attack speed, if i remember correctly. I wonder if the game still crashes in 1.29 PTR, when you use that item. I think it crashed when you had Avatar of Chimaera in inventory and used Ancient Attire or ulti, not sure though.

 

[jojkov]

Ok, guys, dont play this on 1.29 PTR. All "flask" type items disappear, when you drop them on ground from your inventory. Whats worse, they dont even drop from monsters. Following items are problematic (maybe more):
Dew Container
Freezing Mixture
Potion of Healing
Potion of Mana
These all are part of Frigid Series, so it should be alright, but one of the main quest items, "The dew from the aspen woods" is also like this, it should appear on the ground, but it does not, so you cannot complete main quest.

 

[Ryaken]

hey guys, I want to ask something! In chap3, I got a golden key from the murloc near the demolishers area, what does it do?

 

[Ryaken]

I am still playing this but this is my thoughts about this campaign.

Prologue
The terrain was nice those "statues" seems nice and fits well but the terrain in the temple of the moon (Am I right?) where Tyrande is a bit sad, only one tile you used and looks awful. The cameras are good too, dialogues seems nice. I like it.

Chapter 1
This chapter is a headache, it was very looong. Many quests and side quests I appreciate that but maybe you could make it not that long? I spent 2 - 4 hours for that chapter alone. I was like "Kastie stop accepting some quests please" because it's so long and slowly become boring to play and on the last chapter where the Satyrs attacked the satyrs blocked the other so they stuck up on the entrance. Also you control about 8 heroes and so many and hard to control but I figured out that they will be revive anyway so I didn't control them I just focused on Kastie.

Chapter Two
This was the chapter where I would like to stop playing but still I motivated myself to finish it for I like the story and the characters. Unlike chapter one this was shorter but still long. I keep restarting and restarting the same chapter for the "Huntress of the moon here" (I forgot her name) always killed. Then I start to save the game from time to time. The part where you will escort the caravans from different groups the first group with "Katherine and the Humans" Katherine and the Human hero is weak and vulnerable that I always back them off and no spells that could really damage the enemies. The second group with Kastie was far more difficult to survive for just 2 grunts and 1 troll headhunter they can take down 2 of my huntress and 1 archer and I barely survived.

Chapter Three
This is the chapter where I stopped playing for I was on the task to destroy those demolishers and I didn't manage to kill the guards and the far seer hero called upon two powerful unit that manage to kill Kastie and the Paladin. 4 hits on kastie and I was pissed off and quit. I suggest instead of calling those powerful units to attack the intruders maybe not make them so powerful. So that even the player didn't manage to kill the guards and they alerted the alarms they can still have the chance to survive and destroy the demolishers.

That's all for now, I may continue playing it when I have the mood and finish up my feedbacks. Anyway also could you change how you do those hotkeys? because I find it very hard to use their spells for their hotkeys are kinda randomized. Maybe you can set it to QWER? or something like that for easy access.
Overall I kinda like the story and the characters, they seem interesting. I will finish the the remaining chapters in another days. Keep it up!

In chap3, on the mission of destroying those demolishers, Paris and Kastie will be invisible, so instead of going straight to the obj, get those two to the lever near the explosive barrels and have them hold position right next to it to block those grunts from hitting the lever

 

[jojkov]

hey guys, I want to ask something! In chap3, I got a golden key from the murloc near the demolishers area, what does it do?

Hi, it opens gate in chapter 4, behind that big earth golem in right upper corner.

 

[Ryaken]

how do I open the mysterious cage in chap 5 guys?

 

[Ryaken]

Hi, it opens gate in chapter 4, behind that big earth golem in right upper corner.

[jojkov]

No problem. There is mysterious key just laying on the ground in the middle of "Bard Song" island.

 

[Jayborino]

Are there any item advantages to taking one path or another in Chapter 4? I'm looking for more Legendary Stones, only have one from the Shaman in Ch 3. Also, is there more than one Shroud anywhere? I got the one from the Lich in Ch. 3, but saw there were two different items using it.

I love the crafting system in this campaign, and the terrain is excellent, but many of the other mechanics are either nonsensical or even outright broken like the Chimaera item and parts of Jones's submap. Many others have pointed out the slog of having to run to and from the locker as only one example of many. I think this can only get a max 3 stars from me (though I haven't finished it yet to rate proper) and only really gets that high (3/5) because of the two really strong points I mentioned above.

Otherwise the abandoned bugs leftover to never be fixed, plus messy mechanics in places makes this a challenge to say it's a fully working campaign in general. Enormous compliments to the translator though! I'll do a more in depth review when I finish.

There should be 2 legendary stones in Chapter 4. You must kill all butterflies near second lockers, which will lead to first legendary stone and second shroud.
Second legendary stone is from final bosses, if you dont get help from that demon hunter.
I think it is little harsh to rate this campaign so low, because of 1 broken item. I know it is from most difficult quest, so it should be most op
Those lockers+Ancient Attire+Item stacking is still much more convenient and enjoyable than in most of the campaigns, where you had 6 slots and you had to drop something every time you need to pick quest items.
In addition with many available spells, really nice and fitting background music, beautiful terrain, entertaining story and many hidden quests and secrets made this my favourite campaign.
Some of those unskipable cinematics were tiresome though.
I wonder, why you didnt mention that ship you need to use in chapter 5, it made me crazy every time i wanted to go to another island

Thank you for the helpful info, it saved me a lot of time from having to do a lot of experimentation before recording videos for that chapter!

I'll write up some more focused points for a rating once I finish the final map/submaps, but the Chimaera item being bugged is only a very minor thing in my thoughts. In any case, this campaign is years old so it it doesn't really matter, but if the creator is truly working on a Part 2, I hope they've learned from this one and have taken previous feedback into account.

 

[Raven80]

Its so sad that creator abandoned this, it was hell a project..... if there could be a map maker that can reapir broken items and mechanics that could be AWESOME..... Just a dream

The maps are locked so no one can open them up. The creator actually updated it recently, but it is currently only in Chinese.

 

[KillergodHKT]

I try to mix both crystal in the green light beacon but they won't merged together.Is this a kind of bug problem?

 

[jojkov]

There are 2 green light beacons, are you sure you are trying to merge it in the one behind gate?
