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

Haha, sorry that we're making your work harder, but It's for the good of the map XD! You're a really nice guy - You take in moderation what the public says and suggests :)

Also - Hive has a problem with WoW imports that are given as MODELS in the MODEL sectino not as models used in game.Besides, WoW models are fucking win XD

Also - At least one Pure mage class would be cool - Not like I need it but my friends are like "Amg the map is so win but i want a magezors made by you cos he will prolly kick ass" - So that's in name of my friends :D

Keep up the good work :)

The Hive Workshop does not condone, nor will it support, the use of World of Warcraft models because:
  • Models included in World of Warcraft are the exclusive property of Blizzard Entertainment.
  • Blizzard has never released the World of Warcraft models for public use.
  • Consumers are therefore required to purchase World of Warcraft and maintain valid game accounts in order to use those models.

Check out Serbian's profile - former WoW player it says.

That explains everything my friend :)

Besides - If that'd be such a great problem, I think the mod's / admins would do something already wouldn't they? This map has gained a lot of attention of players, I wonder why it wasn't checked YET?

Well, wow playstyle inspired me to make this map, and I've always loved wow models, so that's mainly why I used them. I made this map for my own entertainment, and I'm glad some other people like it. :)

Speaking of wow, ye, I've played wow. I've played it a lot, and it's influence can be clearly seen in all my work...

Oh and one more thing: I'm considering including a new class: hellcaller, purely ranged class, but that's still depends of public opinion. Besides, If I make that one, I might probably need to make another 2 or 3 ranged classes to make it balanced, and that will require a lot of work, again... :/

Oh well, if I'd be a good map maker i'd help you ASAP but all I can is give suggestions.
Tell me more about the Hellcaller.
Also I think that ppl would be happy if you'd have any mage class :p

hellcaller: ranged class, strength build - not so high damage outcome, has helguard summon and good for pvp and survival.
intelligence build 1 - high burst spell damage, depends of critical strike chance, intelligence and weapon damage
intelligence build 2 - high spell damage over time build, depends from weapon damage and intelligence. more potent at survival than build n0 1
basically first int build is something like wow mage/destro lock, and second int build is more like affliction warlock. But as I said, that's still to be considered...

That's a very good idea - why?
Each build has a enormous variety making it like it'd be 3 classes.Yes, all classes have 3 spell packs but eg. the Champion's spell packs make you still feel like you play a warrior, while the Hellcaller's spell packs are like One is a mage, 2nd warlock.. That'd do the deal for a long time and people would stop whining that there are no mages.

Very good idea.

{EDIT}
Also, the Champion's charge spell still happens to teleport you near the chamber of the last boss in some games. In the game before, it never happened, but now I play another one and it happens a lot :O

Cool :) From now on I think i will stop with those suggestions a bit as I'm making you have hell of work XD I'll wait patiently for another version :D

P.S:
That new mage if you'll make him will be an orc / Draenei / other race?
I think that people want more other races as it's all orcs here XD

That's nice.

By the way - is the Salamander supposed to deal 3.8k dmg party wide at the frist try and at the second try be ultra easy:p?

{EDIT 1}
Oh, just one thing - The load codes - I noticed how to change exp amount by 1
-load 8B0 @1G 1T0 o2C 380 040 0@ - 1st code at level 9(every code = more exp)
-load 8B0 @1G 1W0 o2C 380 040 0@ - 2nd code at level 9
-load 8B0 @1G 1Z0 o2C 380 040 0@ - 3rd code at level 9
What changes the exp ammount? I think everyone can see that only one letter changes between those codes. You just swap it to the next one in the alphabet and you get more exp XD!

P.S:
I didn't get any new items between any of these saves only bigger exp amount.

{EDIT 2}
OMG! New version rocks my socks off! Good job :)Now waiting patiently for Ogre maul I guess :D?

Keep up the good work mate :D!

P.S:
Besides the name-bound, the codes didn't add any security:( You can easily swap letters and get +800 Agi o_O

~ Let me get straight to the points since last time my browser failed :

* Things I personally found interesting and over-all good features :

- Incredible Custom Hero Models
- Custom Mini-map
- Beautiful Terrain
- Great PvP Combat System
- Complex but user-friendly Stat System
- Interesting Tech Tree
- Weapons / Items Equipped Show On Model.
- Nice Custom Unit Skins / Models
- Flawless Custom Spells / Abilities (no bugs found)
- Challenging Boss Fights (keeps adrenaline active)
- Many Custom Items
- Wonderful Atmosphere and Good game-play
- Very High Replay Value
- Seems like a cross-over from Warcraft III to Diablo III
- And Many More ( I'm a bit in a hurry)

* Well, enough with the "fuzzy" niceness :

- No custom hero icons
- No custom item icons
- No custom skill icons
- Absence of a difficulty system
- Some minor description flaws (grammar mistakes or strange sentences)
- No obvious victory goal
- Low item drop rate ( played for 68 full minutes and found around 15 items, 7 were same as equipped ones, but this can be over-looked)
- Had difficulty actually USING my talent points. ( please explain how it works, I might be thick)
- It's a Beta, so I'll stop here.

~ Over-all, I see no reason why this wouldn't be approved and have a lower rating than 4/5. But personally, I got a real kick out of it, so to any Diablo III (and why not) WoW enthusiasts , I highly recommend this map!

- Rating : 5/5 (I kept in mind this is just a Beta)

- Voting for : Approval!

Edit : I've just read the rather moronic comments on this thread stating that you should "change the talent" tree. I highly disagree. Furthermore, every skill I saw and used worked perfectly and I'd rather see these abilities in future versions, rather than new, probably bugged ones (not saying you wouldn't do a good job creating them). And to whom it may concern :
No custom skill icons? You played the wrong class o_O! Maybe you didn't play 0.9? Cleric, Earthshaker, they've got shit loads of skin icons.

Talent points - you add them by double right-clicking.

Game difficulty - more players, higher difficulty.

Summary - If you wouldn't check it by playing once, alone, and with one class, you'd find less "problems"

Besides, I think I can agree with everything else :p

{EDIT}
Talking about English - maybe when I write some posts etc, you can surelly notice some mistakes although, I write the posts ultra fast and that's why.

If you'd like, I could try to help you with the Grammar mistakes, I think that's the only way I could help somehow!

Also - I think the charge spell is fixed :)

i dont know if it is intended that the absorb area of forcebender is so big. its impossible for only one tank to cut off all healing spheres.
btw all status improvements of cleric are deleted when changig spellpack except for holy fire (can be abused to buff group and then change spellpack)

edit:
item: forceful decapitator (firelord) the chance is missing in description, it only says chance on attack
are multiple fire explosions intended? he stood there doing nothing after awhile of fighting so i ran away, nothing happened for some seconds so i ran to him and hit, the text was show and while running away two explosions occured (one under him one under me)
in addition the little rings of fire didnt damage me for remarkable amounts (perhabs because of 1-player-scaling)

edit:
2 visiual things: standing in the left upper corner of the last boss area (the little room near him) u can see a part of the talent trees ;)
standing in the right room, right upper corner there is a wall that flickers while walking with hero ;)
typo when defeated by forcebender: you are not match for me -> you are no match for me.

edit:
please add something to swap mutliboard back from dmg-multiboard

suggestion:
holy cleric should be fixed a bit. spells are too mana intense but do too much damge because of holy fire. to increase healing property and reduce damage property a bit manacosts could be decreased by 15-20% but inner fire reflect reduced to 50-60% (i think u really get mana problems while buffing group and healing if its necessary) this is just a suggestion :)
was a bit depressed when standing in last area and nuking one group after the other while being focused on str not int >.< and not getting hurt cause of heals

Definitely not agreed about the clerics.Our cleric had no problems with mana at all during any boss encounter!

The forcebender - Are you kidding me? You were grabbing the balls on solo? Besides, the map is not supposed for single player.

And yes, the axe is supposed to say "Chance on attack" it's the same as in WoW.But if you want to know it so much it's about 10-25%.

The fire boss is quite hard, although he doesn't need to be changed - you just have to run away when he begins to stop auto-attacking, also the small explosions deal 700-800 dmg on 4 player mode and the big one deals much more.

P.S:
Is the champion supposed to be able to block the whirlwind and the poison when he has the polearm from the last boss? It kinda makes me imba, I don't have to move away from whirlwind or poison as I block all damage :O

Lumber - minutes, Food - seconds. That's made just so players could see how long they have been playing, but as for the evocation timers - if you manage to kill bosses before they expire, in correct order (Hakrash > Jin'do > Desert Scorcher > Nalorakk > Zul'kis > Zul'rajas) you will get epic items, way better than any other items you can normally get.

i know that its not for singleplayer, but the little circles did 5-7 dmg to me (with clerics shield)

sry but could only test on singleplayer... friends are buys with wow...
and guessing the chance is something even i am able to do ;) but it would be nice to have the real chance there (e.g. if u are thinking if u should change weapon or not)

fire boss: i killed him so i know his phases :p the thing is that he stopped autoattacking but nothing happend for a while so i ran towards him and when hitting him the text appears (his "you will burn message") and he double-exploded could be a bug, thats why i asked, i dont think it is intended

No, when he stops auto-attacking run away from him for like 15 seconds:p? maybe bit less.

Also - If you play on Northrend, pm Freelancah when I'm online and I can organise us a game - I have a great team from Poland, all epic geared etc. and we're eager to get more and more players :D!

Also - Big problem for Polish ppl - the R shortcut for the 4th spell R equals MOVE (Ruch) and it makes us unable to quickly cast spells like death mark, if there'd be any button to swap it into like G maybe?
Thanks.

When i've defeated all boss, i was at level 8, and have 1 talent point :|, why don't you give 1 talent point every 1 level instead of 5 levels?

In addition, make the first talent rank less effective and more effect to the higher rank, more talent choice, that will make more diversity in the game, then you can add more mobs to make the battle more epic :D

More phases for boss, such as crowd control spell, addition minions,... that will require more tactics

Add more option on the weapon, such as swing speed, damage type...

And the last: more xp and item drop from killing boss

The only talent point that player get in the game will make the rest of talent tree become 'just for reading' thing, i agree that it's not wow, but i think you shoud make player pay more attention to the talent tree by some way

Rating changed

l changed rating from 4/5 to 5/5 and this are my reasons:
-changed everything what l complained like the terrain issue
You made the enemys drop more items what l really like
-the map has a more epic feeling
-the new class is great and add a new variation to play this game

well l can't say more because everythings looks fine and works great.

l have only 2 suggestions left:

Correct me if l'm wrong: Is there any way to look for the hero attackspeed? Would be great to add it into the multiboard something like Attack Cooldown: 1.5 sec or something. l hope its possible if not it doesn't matter because its great even without it.

And my last Suggestion: Don't Stop Map Making. You are really creative and you make very well maps that keep people playing warcraft 3. l hope for you that you will never loose fun at making good maps like this one.

Thank your for reading,
Best regards

Edit: selffire gave me an idea. I'll try to integrate attack speed in multiboard.

Edit: Confirmed! Multiboard will now show attack speed cooldown. :)

You used JASS or GUI?
Did you really show attack speed or average damage per second?

You mispelled Destroyer in Map Description. :p
Anyways, I'm going to have Singleplayer Review up in probably some hours. :)

Just a question though: Did you use WoW Models? Or are they somehow looked similar?
