WoW: Battle of Azeroth [0.7]

[andreariona]

WoW female base mesh are rather too skinny before editing it, this is actually why I didn't include any female character models (except 1 for NPC). But in the future, who knows.

 

[BurnInHell]

Can I ask you how you've made the camera movement so smooth ?
And also are you girl or boy ?

About game:

Isn't it kinda weird that something made of water(water elemental) has mana burn spell ?
And I would appriciate little bit more quests than having to farm 1 quest 5 times.

The Corbet shneider says:
We have evacuate most people here to somewhere save.

I don't know if I'm right but I would rather say :
We have evacuated most people from Stormwind to somewhere safe.

or better :
We have evacuated most our people to the safe place where aren't any bloodthirsty orcs.

 

[andreariona]

Ah, thanks. +rep for the correction. I made at least 1 int-att creeps with mana burn for sapping purpose and elementals fit in better rather than the other beast or plant type creeps which I did put in.

You can set camera smoothing factor to 10-above for that.

How to use Garrosh Hellscream as hero ? i tried him but it said i need to enter a "secret code" ... can u tell me ?

Garrosh can't be played at the moment.

I will updating it after I'm releasing current project I'm working on this week. How many players did you played with?

The Orgrimmar atmosphere which I created there aren't a hot barren so I believe it looked fine with Plant-typed creeps like them.

 

[FoRb1dd3N]

pleaze make Garrosh playable in next update *making very sad face

 

[JCarrill0]

Again I must ask, how can a map downloaded 300+ times, getting updated, and held in high praise, still not be approved?

 

[andreariona]

Well, guess my bad habit of ignoring some of the map description is happening again

EDIT:
Alright. I played the game, and came up with a few suggestion.
1.Add more quest. 3 quest is not enough for me
2.Add more creep. This one is connected with number one.
3.Turn grunt & footman to Horde & Alliance Unit. It's a bit strange that a human can kill a footman on durotar :v
If you feel that it's unnessecary, feel free to ignore.

 

[andreariona]

Thanks, I appreciate those suggestions. However they made that way intentionally and size efficiency purpose, quests were optional and created for adding RPG elements and quicken leveling purpose, which is why 3 (each side) is enough imo as the map aren't designed as a massive ORPG.

Don't worry, she'll make more. These maps are top quality.

 

[andreariona]

Thank you.

-andreariona
Okay, and +REP to you for making this map
Oh, and I found some mistakes in typing:
@Ogrimmar North Gate (The level should be 10 above)
@Horde's third mission (The description is Alliance's third mission)

-Kibougamine
She will make more of these, I think?

 

[robizeratul]

One of the best map makers around.When you stop working on these maps it will be a great loss to the community.

so, thank you! The only thing I dislike is those secret codes. I have to play a class I don't like just so I can get to the good ones, It's to much like real life

 

[sammath]

I like it

 

[Bloodshade]

I like the idea and the map but there are a few things that NEED to be fixed.
1st of all you need to put some originality. All of the DPS classes (i havent played tank or heal) have the same abilities. Everyone has an aoe spell, a stat boost, a single target spell and a heal. They all scale with the same DMG each lvl. Everyone has the same base damage and attack speed (doesnt matter if you are a warrior or a caster). I can guess that you made it this way for the sake of balance, but you need to try and find it in another way.

Secondly you need to place some revive timers or bigger consequences after death. If you kill someone he revives instantly and loses a minimum amount of gold. Leading to him instantly going for your bosses again, which leads you to 24/7 defending and no chance of offense. (another way is adding cooldown to the teleports for each player separately, either way something needs to be done)

And lastly the Elite mobs. Lets start with their respawn. If you camp them alot they bug at some point and NEVER respawn again (this happened to me as an Alliance Warrior). I killed them about 6-7 times each before they stopped respawning. First it was only one of them, then both. This also happened with a few other mobs around the Alliance territory. The horde elites or any other mob didn't bug as my friend (A Horde Shaman) was farming them as much as I was mine.
And also It wont be bad if u add another Elite as I have the opinion that 2 aren't enough, but that is for you to decide.

The effects/skins/terrain are pretty nice so I bet you will make it better in the future

Lol thank you for the compliments. Both Varian and Garrosh aren't playable yet actually.

Which class specs have you played if I may know? If you compare Alliance classes with Horde classes, you might found some similarities since they made as a counterpart with certain difference, except Human Paladin with Orc Berserker. I've been revamping all caster heroes since yesterday based off from my experimental WoW PvP battling with AI. The current difference about caster and melee on current version is their spells damage - caster deals more spell damage (which now has been improved for next version), Melee has higher health while Caster has higher mana, starting attributes, and so on. Same class currently had same statistic, their abilities from choosen specs which made their difference.

I'm not really into huge gold reduction as a death consequence but higher warp cooldown sound like a good idea. Perhaps I'd increase the death timer as well.

This might be because of the distance between them, Elite in Horde region are far from each other - and creeps normally respawn when their respawn point aren't crowded. I'll fix this out. There will be some harder Elite as well in the future.

Thanks for sharing your feedbacks, really appreciate them as it's needed for a better version in the future. ;D +rep

[fr14nd1]

Welp, that's a lot of changes and rebalancing

 

[Zeatlan agralem]

Hi,
the map is really cool but I think it's a shame the fact that we see the whole map ... Would it be possible to put a fog?

 

[fr14nd1]

Try setting the fog of war in the advanced setting, maybe?

 

[andreariona]

FoW were deactivated purposely, I'll consider to enabling it on future release.

 

[Deadly Nightshade]

Looks pretty ! hmm....
downloading now! I'll try it ! O.O

 

[andreariona]

Thanks, have fun playing.

 

[Alexxino]

The elite's respawn is still bugged, at least on human side. I killed them a few times then the weaker one stopped respawning for good and the other one had really long respawn time in comparison to in the beggining.

 

[andreariona]

Hmm I'll check it out, thank you for reporting it.

 

[luis93]

awesome job! can you add fog of war?

 

[vincesanity]

Idol.

 

[Arad MNK]

I Didn't like AoS maps but this actually Got me Into it!
Adding More creeps and Making them Harder Will Enchance your Map.
The Music (Defenders of Azeroth) Fits Well, But Trim the End. (The part it gets like Stormwind)
5/5!

 

[king arthas123]

hey can the save code in Heroes Return be loaded in Battle of Azeroth??

 

[Manipulation]

man do you still work on this? or its abandoned?

 

[Jumbo]

Sorry to necro. Is this going anywhere? With the new megabyte size increase on maps you should be able to make this even more immersive with a lot more custom models.

 

[SKL-1]

It's really cool map with very cool concept but it lack alot of events and the most of the map isn't used. I'd say it kinda feels like WoW AV and these battlegrounds that alliance have advantage over the horde, in this map I'll say it's in the presence of quests and the placement of the mobs, basically it's the map layout and so on.

 

[JCarrill0]

Been missing this.
Still waiting to play Varian

 

[P3in]

Is there any chance that anyone has any of the models he used in this map?

 

[GoddessSylvanas]

Amazing! I wish there were more maps like this!

 

[AkarinKana]

Hello!
You don't understand how much I love this map, and all the other maps you have created. Thank you so much for making this map it's so nice!!!
Fangirling aside, this map is actually rather simple. To acquire rare equipment, you'll have to spend some time grinding and doing quests. And because I was soloing this map, killing the bosses took some time.
Though.
All in all, this is a great map
RECOMMENDED!
