[Role Playing Game] World of Warcraft: Heroes Return

[andreariona]

well the map type is different, it's a risk map while this is orpg. lol

anyway, just felt like to post something just to inform the progress still worked on everyday.
I have currently made like 70+ new items so far, along with their own description tooltips. Also some equipment type are now splitted.
Armor divided into 4:
- Cloth (Mage, Priest)
- Plate (Warrior, Paladin, Death Knight)
- Leather (Hunter, Rogue)
- Mail (Warrior, Paladin, Death Knight, Hunter, Rogue)
Left Hand divided into 3:
- Shield (Warrior, Paladin, Death Knight, Hunter, Rogue)
- Book (Mage, Priest)
- Dagger (Rogue)

also, vendor NPC now has a hovering text under their head so player can easily found them. you can now talk with every NPC by clicking "Talk to (NPC Name)" (which now I made it as a text on screen instead of floating text), to gain some info, blab, or even a clue for secrets.

ok, now back working on terrain.

EDIT: New Ajzol-Nerub Entrance terrain sneak peek.

 

[StormWarriors2]

Nice job! I really like what I See!

 

[Heinvers]

Really? WOW. That's a worthy entrance The lava is an awesome feature to the terrain. You've outdone yourself with this. Good job ;]

 

[Holymind]

I thought Ajzol-Nerub was in Northrend...

 

[Heinvers]

I thought Ajzol-Nerub was in Northrend...

It is. This is a map that incorporates all those great zones and adds to them a more fresh feel. Get it?

 

[Holymind]

Yes but it ruins the lore tho.

 

[gwapopogi53]

I like that idea about the clues and secrets. Like the part where we can get the secret codes and stuff....And magnificent Terrain as always

 

[Holymind]

Is the secret codes bugged? I've killed all bosses including Anubarak, still haven't gotten any codes...

 

[Chen]

The entrance looks funny, but is cool though.

 

[andreariona]

thanks for the compliments guys.

@holymind: let's say, this is kind of my version of WoW in ORPG version, some name aren't even related to WoW itself. also secret code aren't get by beating bosses.


@chenralstratsz: uhmm.. funny?

 

[Heinvers]

It's not funny, but it does contrast with the lava you added my dear. Don't worry I like it

 

[Razosh]

So I guess that's the entrance to Azjol-Nerub and even though it looks epic I don't know how well the frozen theme works with the lava.

 

[Heinvers]

I don't know how well the frozen theme works with the lava.

Maybe. But it's a doable contrast imo.

 

[Razosh]

Considering that this fortress is usually in a frozen landscape and has the color of one I don't know.

 

[Heinvers]

Maybe. Well she could tint it a bit redder to blend it a bit with the lava landscape.

 

[nhs325]

is there some kind of red lightning flash I see in the new entrance? overall, good job with the new one, althrough the spider head looks so funny.

 

[bethmachine]

The problem I have with the anubarack boss terrain is that there is the lava looking all destructive an all and then you get past the bridge and than it looks like nothing happend, I am just telling you what I think hope you understand what I'm trying tell you, anyway I like your terrains.

 

[Heinvers]

that there is the lava looking all destructive an all and then you get past the bridge and than it looks like nothing happend,

Yes. Look at what I said at my previous post.

 

[andreariona]

sorry, no progress for past several days due to bedrest.

ok, has read the comments about the entrance that should be in frozen landscape. well, there aren't any frozen landscape (yet) on the map, beside ajzol nerub layout itself doesn't based off 100% from the actual WoW and has non frozen zone looks needed to fit in (if you questioning about the lava, it is globally everywhere on the map). as for someone who mention about the lore, let say.. this map is my own version of Azeroth, so it isn't 100% related with the actual WoW lore itself.

anyway, just want to confirm 2 classic characters: Arthas and Grom would be available as secret characters on next brand new version.

 

[Chen]

That Grom looks cool! Where did you find this? A recolor of his model in WoD?

 

[Binsu]

The idea of making famous figures in Warcraft appear as secret characters in your map looks good.

Can't say much but I do think some more could be added such as Illidan, Uther, Maiev and etc.

Overall, good luck and more powers to you project. +rep for the update and the great work as well, I was starting to think that the project got stopped of some sort but this update did enlightened me.

 

[andreariona]

I found one on a korean site back on 2010, and edit the model to fit in. just fyi, it's using WoW orc base model.

Would do, but I only choose some classic characters that take a big role on warcraft history due to filesize limitation. And Illidan is considerable to include in the future (the one before he consume skull of gul'dan and grow demonic wings).

Anyway, thanks for the support. Don't worry, the project won't be stopped.

 

[Razosh]

I love the new characters and I agree with Hell Master but I think you should add one character of every playable race to please everyone.

 

[andreariona]

Yep, will do. This is current consideration of classic secret characters with their representative race:

NE - Illidan (before he consume skull of gul'dan and grow demonic wings)
BE - Might be Kaelthas (will change the current fire mage base model and customize a new one if this happen)
Undead - Undecided (might be undead version of Sylvanas)

 

[Razosh]

If I could share my favorites.

Night Elf - Tyrande Whisperwind
Blood Elf - Lor'Themar Theron
Undead - Sylvanas Windrunner
Tauren - Cairne Bloodhoof
Troll - vol'Jin
Goblin - Gallywix
Pandaren - Taran Zhu
Dwarf - Bran or Magni
Draenei - Velen
Worgen - Genn Greymane
Gnome - Gelbin Mekkatorque

 

[Chen]

Yay! Taran Zhu!

 

[Heinvers]

Those characters are a great choice. Btw for Undead I'd choose Kel'thuzad.

 

[andreariona]

thanks for the reccommendation of picking choices. actually due to certain reasons (like trying to make the size not to ever reach 8mb) some races like Troll, Tauren, Goblin, Pandaren, Worgen and Gnome doesn't available on the game at the moment. Drawf is there tho, but only as a vendor NPC.

 

[gwapopogi53]

Grom is like...my favorite character in Warcraft. :O He's the f*king symbol of War3! Made me more excited. ))))

 

[andreariona]

Grom is like...my favorite character in Warcraft. :O He's the f*king symbol of War3!

That's the strong reason why I should put him in.

 

[sonofjay]

One does not simply discuss classic Warcraft characters without including Krasus and Rhonin.

 

[Whitewolf8]

One does not simply discuss classic Warcraft characters without including Krasus and Rhonin.

I wouldn't consider them classic actually...

 

[Heinvers]

without including Krasus and Rhonin.

Oh yes I demand those my dear. They fit perfectly! Good luck

 

[sonofjay]

I wouldn't consider them classic actually...

Dunno, I read all the novels(didn't finish the last guardian though) and until now its still Krasus and Rhonin are the ones I consider who impacted the series the most.

 

[Whitewolf8]

They're awesome characters, but I think classic would imply the games not the novels.

 

[Chen]

Hmm...Those two are dead, but if you put them in the map, It can be a tribute to them.

 

[nhs325]

i agree. tribute is good.

 

[Heinvers]

They're awesome characters, but I think classic would imply the games not the novels.

Why not? Tribute is great for them! Anyway I'll wait for new terrains

 

[andreariona]

unfortunately I wouldn't include neither Rhonin or Krasus, since I intend to only include 5 secret characters (1 figure per available race on this map) that known by people generally as you know, not everyone read the lore. beside since secret characters require a code to unlocking it, what's the point of including alot of them when only few people that actually could found the code?

anyway, terrain is still on reworking, new sneak peek screenshots will be coming eventually.

 

[Heinvers]

Good choice my dear. I like your determination btw
So far the terrain has been awesome. Keep up the good work

 

[andreariona]

thanks. ^^

anyway, just done reducing some new attachments models size into their finest in milkshape. here's some of them in-game.

PS: Dagger can be wielded as dual weapon (right and left hand) for Rogue.

New Attachments

 

[Razosh]

Looks awesome there are still some of my favorite items from WoW such as this staff http://www.wowhead.com/item=30732#screenshots that is dropped by Doom Lord Kazzak.

 

[andreariona]

That staff is already on the game, I even made a new icon to fit in that staff. lol

Exodar Life Staff

 

[Heinvers]

Nice my dear. Great job. I can't wait for the next terrain you make. The icons look good

 

[Razosh]

Great looking I trust you have all the legendary weapons as well?

 

[andreariona]

@heinvers: hmmm haven't touch the terrain yet, currently making a WIP of new hunter and warrior class at the moment.

Hunter and Warrior Class WIP

@Razosh: currently Sulfuras is the only legendary weapon that available on the map (low chance dropped by ragnaros), maybe there'll be like 4 legendaries to include in further version.

 

[Razosh]

Alright, well I hope to see Val'anyr.

 

[Chen]

Awesome! I love that Exodar Staff!

 

[Heinvers]

Wow. Looks good. Good choice Razosh.

 

[andreariona]

thanks for the compliments.

hmmm I didn't plan to include Val'anyr as one of legendary due to it's tremendous poly. beside, I'm only include 1 legendary per weapon type and sulfuras is already picked as a legendary mace instead of val'anyr.
