Various Suggestions

[Andriejj]

Feel free to post yours.

I start with 2. First off, remove the host-detection thingy and give the mode selection to either Death Knight (who's usually someone trusted) or red player. I'd give it to DK.

Second. What if the DK leaves or disconnects? Game ends. An emergency solution would be this: if DK player leaves, some trigger checks for players with dead heroes (they usually leave, but there's always a chance someone stays, especially in a priv game) and the control over DK is randomly given to one of them. Shouldn't be hard to make, though it might require some adjustments in the existing triggers.

Host check is a little buggy so I could see why you would want to give it to Red. Most of the time the people that play as knight in my games are not trusted so I think Red would be the best choice.

I may do this.

It is more likely that I will implement your second suggestion though. I really like the idea of transferring control to someone who has a dead Hunter hero. We'll see if I can do this in the next version.

Okay for 2.85, among many other updates, I have made Player 1 (Red) the Host. If he drops for whatever reason during the download the person who chooses the game mode will be chosen in order of Player 2-11 whoever is the next in line.

I am also in the process of implementing the suggestion that if the Death Knight leaves control will be given to a dead Hunter. There will also be the option to continue playing without the knight until Doom/end of the game in case there are no dead Hunters. This will allow you to continue to rack up AtD Points and enjoy the game without having to remake.

This is so much more work than I thought it would be haha. I have 15 new significant updates so far. It'll be worth it I think.

Add more thingy fun to play as the architect base !
I think he is the funnier char to play !

The Nature mage should be able to create some blocking trees or destroying ones.
The Scientist needs a giant "bag" to stack pots lol dunno how you can do that, maybe a "spell", an icon in the spell list where you click on and potions stack there and you can use it directly by clicking (no mana cost) but there you can't share to your teammates.

Make it so if there are no dead hunters that it will randomly choose an alive one to switch (which would remove this persons hunter from the game) over to be the controller of the Death Knight

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

I was considering this... but don't you think it would suck for the person who wanted to be a Hunter that got randomly pulled to be DK?

 

[Tanasren]

It sucks
And my nature mage idea does ?

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

OH I didn't even read that idea haha. Yeah that idea could work, maybe a temporary wall of trees or something.

And I like the backpack idea for the scientist, I may try to implement something like this.

 

[Tanasren]

The reason why i don't choose scientist is the fact he can't wear all stuff and potions, and that's not cool :x (this post is only here to confirm the fact he needs a backpack )

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

2.88 will probably not be released for a couple weeks seeing as I just started summer school. I'll work on it when I get a chance though. New save/load system coming, probably a backpack system for Scientists to put their potions in, new host kick system to replace votekick, and new items will be included.

 

[CHA_Owner]

WOOT i can't wait for next version man i want to help on this map all i can any suggestions of what else i could do?

 

[Tanasren]

Why 2.88 and not 2.87 ?

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

Because there are some big changes in this version, not just some bug fixes and spell updates.

 

[CHA_Owner]

I like the way you do the versions yet i still need suggestions on how to better support this map

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

Host often and promote it! That's all I can say. I might be starting a clan soon.

 

[CHA_Owner]

I want to try to get shamman if you do start a clan i will do anything required also i finally got to 400 atd points today and its not worth it just a few earth orbs floating around my hero you need to make it like completely custom skins or even able to unlock new heros
and also i am already promoting as much as i can BUT I WANT TO DO MORE!!!!!!

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

The themes get better as you go, and new heroes would be unfair and even if I could balance them people would complain that they were imbalanced because you could only unlock them. Custom skins would take up space. I rather like the themes. And if you don't don't bother with points .

But they do distinguish you from other new players, which is the point. And like I said, they get better as you go.

 

[CHA_Owner]

Okay i will keep at it and also you said something about if someone greatly helps you then you will reward them with points how is that possible for you to add the points to there load???

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

Now that I've designed the new save/load system I can easily create a code for you.

(This also means that the new codes are secure, but not AS secure as the old ones. I feel like a pretty secure code with only 8 characters is way more efficient than an 18 character code that is extremely secure. What do you think?)

 

[CHA_Owner]

This will be a good test i will play it non-stop and if i see alot of people with like 9999 AtD points then i will report it to you but until then it should be fine

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

Even though it's only 8 characters you can actually have up to 99,999 points . Not that there is ANY POINT of that haha.

 

[CHA_Owner]

Yea i get your point but still for someone to have 9,999 points they would have to play somewhere around 500 games if not more

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

No! If you can average 50 points a game you can do that in about 200 games. Still a lot though lol

 

[CHA_Owner]

Plus if you play with a full house you cant get 50 points per game since so much kill stealing

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

In the last version it was made so that creep boss kills disperse the points to all Death Hunters within 1000 range. So if you are there when Pissed Giant is killed, you also get the points even if you don't get the winning blow on him.

50 is difficult in Normal unless you are Death Knight, but it is pretty easy in DM if you're good

 

[CHA_Owner]

Of course and people complain about it all the time saying death knight is rigged and gets more points when really there is only 1 death knight and he deserves more points

 

[Wuffle]

Think im double posting but w/e

I think you should reset AtD points just simply cuz a lot has been made since u impleneted AtD points, so ppl will try to play old versions to abuse something, so reseting here and there might be usefull(and painfull to someone,but w/e)
Just consider that pls

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

Yeah in 2.91 old codes will no longer be able to load. I'm trying to release this before the end of August but I need to finish the new lives-based Death Match mode.
