World of Ancients Desert Winds v0.19

This bundle is marked as director's cut. It exceeds all expectations and excels in every regard.

To everyone testing this map!

This map is still in its beta phase, and I need your help!
Everytime you finish this map with your friends (a party greater than 3),
I need you to type “-dmg”, open the Multiboard and send me a PM or e-mail (serbianbeasthotmail.com) with the data you see there.
It needs to contain Class, Level, Build (Str/Agi/Int) and % damage done.

Example
1. DK Level 10 Str 25%
2. ES Level 9 Agi 22%
3. CR Level 8 Int 20%
4. CH Level 7 Str 18%
5. ES Level 5 Str 15%

This will help me to balance the classes!

Thanks in advance,
Serbianbeast

Mogulkahn, after Serbian begin to work, this map stuk and never been continued :(

Verm, this map is no shit. This map suppouse to be the first of a huge saga (continuous maps) were you can grow more stronger solving quests. Then the autor thought in make a paralel map, were you can load your heroe and then fight in a arena with others players ... for me, is a very good idea!!!.

My ratting 8/10
-1 for roll story
-1 for vague terrain

Scales up too much

The difficulty with 5 players was 2-3 shotting us with normal mobs (and multi-aggro was so common). There were times we were pretty much instant dieing at spawn point. Please change how much it scales up with each person, or make starting mobs a bit easier or make an easy difficulty or have it scale up/down with higher/lower characters. After 10 minutes pretty much everyone wanted out =(

[x]Also, Healer's Base mana is low. I can use 2 heals at most.
-Increase it.
[x]@Flutterguy, I strongly agree with you.
-You will die atleast 20 times untill you get a lil-bit-strong.
[x] At level 9 you'll have to do Hard mode [Forgot how it's named like] or bossses. 1xp/boss.
