Wave of Death
Това е една от най-популярните функции, която тази общност би искала да я има в играта.
Това е "Арена", където ще трябва да се борим с вълните от чудовища.
Но моето предложение е малко по-дълбоко и е според трудността основава на уменията на играчите / скоростта / късмета (Да малко късмет винаги се изисква: P) ..
Нека да погледнем първата снимка:
Както можете да видите трудността е забранена, тъй като чудовищата ще увеличат силата си толкова, колкото можете да оцелее в арена.
Е, как да се разреши трудността на този режим?
Това е лесно. Просто кликнете върху "Промяна" в "Options" прозореца и:
В "детайли" на прозореца можете да видите разликите между "вида на чудовищата"
Ако играчът избере "нормална трудност" е ще се изправи срещу чудовища :
- Нормални чудовища вълни (това означава, че "нормалните" вълни се състоят от нормални чудовища)
- Един елит пакет на всеки пет вълни
- Един бос на всеки 20 вълни
- Няма случайни изчадия
Забележка: случайните изчадия са случайно, генерирани чудовища, които имат шанс да се появят, в допълнение към вълната: случайните изчадия могат да бъдат нормални чудовища, елити , елитни групи или шефчета
Какво се случва, ако играчът избира една от другите настройки :
Забележка: не забравяйте, от сега нататък, че номера / стойностите на снимките са само примери
Мисля, че "Extreme" трудността ще бъде трудна за всички, дори з хардкор играчи.
Разбира се, че не го правим само за слава, защото Wave на Death (много прилича на други два режима) ще има класиране за най-добрите играчи в света, основани на изчистени вълни, избор на трудност и броя на играчи в парти.
Defence of the Outpost
Името може да е познато като Defence of the Ancients, но не е същата игра, a MOBA a само името е подобно
КАКВА Е РАЗЛИКИТА В Defence of the Outpost
Вие трябва да унищожите демоничните парчета, които са причината за демонична инвазия в региона.
За съжаление има много селяни и войници, които молят за помощ, така че трябва също така да ги защитите.
Така че вашата мисия е да защитите войниците, докато в същото време да сложите край на демоничната инвазия чрез унищожаване на демоничните парчета.
КАК DEFENCE OF THE OUTPOST РАБОТИ?
Играта започва едва когато приемете първия куест и чак тогава Ви допуска вътре :
Забележка: първият куест винаги ще бъде "защита на селяните" , защото селяните играят много важна роля в DotO:
за всеки селянин спасен ще спечелите един ресурс ,а той е необходимо средство за надграждане на силата и за обучение на нови войници и подобряване на тяхното оборудване.
Тези подобрения се нуждаят от доста време, за да се завърши, но колкото повече селяните спасявате, толкова по-добре.
Както казах по-рано тази игра е като "чудовищни вълни" , така че ще има безкрайни вълни от врагове и всяка вълна ще имат повишено количество с чудовища.
Така че колкото повече напредвате и унищожавате демоничните Късчета толкова по-трудна ше става играта .
Всяка вълна се състои от определен брой атаки (както можете да видите от снимката) и ако убиеш всички чудовища на атака, преди да изтече времето, новата атаката ще започне istantly.
Ако от друга страна не можете да убиете всички чудовища, преди да изтече времето, добре ... Вие ще трябва да се борите с повече чудовища и това може да доведе до драматични загуби.
Можете също така да забележите, в образа, който има дебъф наричан "демонично влияние".
Този дебъф намалява ефективността си в битка и ще можете да се освободите от него само когато унищожите Demonic Shard.
Забележка: в този случай вие ще спечелите играта, ако вие унищожите парчето, защото има само един начин за да се унищожи, но там е една опция, която ви позволява да увеличите демоничните парчета, които трябва да се унищожат (повече за това по-късно).
Всеки Shard намалява ефективността си в битка с 20% (например).
Какво се случва след това?
Както можете да видите, когато последната атака е приключена, обратното броене за следващата вълна започва (не забравяйте, че обратното броене започва във всеки случай, дори ако има чудовища на терена.
Това е идеалното време за да излезем навън и да се опита да намери и унищожи Demonic Shard или да приеме нови странични куестове или надграждане на войниците.
SIDE-QUESTS AND UPGRADES
Когато сме отвън:
ylai (the NPC with the yellow exclamation mark) will be the "side-quest giver":
these quests are repeatable and will allow the player to "obtain" new villagers, soldiers or powerful temporary buffs.
On side-quests you have to do different things around the map (outside the outpost) like "free the imprisoned villagers", "help the soldiers and recruit them for your cause", "kill mob X to gain a powerful buff" and so on.
The player can choose which quest to accept but he can only have one active at any one time.
In addition if the player has an active side-quest he cannot upgrade.
Note: basically you have two choices: accept a side-quest or upgrade/train your soldiers/outpost/villagers.
Of course the player can decide to go for a quest or for an upgrade while under siege but this will expose the outpost (in the case he's around the map to complete a quest) or the villagers (in the case of an upgrade) to massive danger.
If the player decides to upgrade he can talk to Sylmo (the NPC in front of the barbarian in the image):
Here you can see how many resources are available, how many villagers there are in the outpost, how much the upgrade time reduction is (3% time reduction per villager) and at what ranks are the soldiers' equipment and the outpost (maximum rank is 4 for both).
I think I don't need to explain much more as the image is quite clear so let's have a look on the various situations:
As you can see, the player decided to upgrade the soldiers' equipment but the time-choice for the upgrade was not good as the outpost is under attack.
This will make the defence much harder since not only he has to protect the soldiers but also the villagers because if you have no villagers left the upgrade won't finish until you save other villagers.
Note: this means that you cannot accept new side-quests (because you are upgrading) and you have to cancel the upgrade and start it over again once you have at least one villager. Also resources spent for the upgrade are lost forever.
Once the upgrade is complete all soldiers will have different visuals:
Equipment Rank 1:
Equipment Rank 2:
As you can see the number of soldiers has increased to 5.
This is because the player trained the villagers:
Note: The training villagers are the "templar-like" NPCs on the left. They won't attack enemies as they're still villagers.. so you have to protect them until they finish the training.
Now let's have a look on the last upgrade you can make:
How will your outpost look like when the upgrade is finished?
Outpost Rank 1:
Once the player is prepared and confidend to leave the outpost he can finally go and destroy the Demonic Shard.
When he finds it he has first to kill the boss that makes the Shard invulnerable and then he can destroy the shard itself and claim victory.
Victory can be sweet and inside the outpost chapel you will find a new room filled with treasure... much like this one:
Note: this is just an example of how the treasure room should look like. The treasure will be based upon difficulty, outpost starting conditions, waves cleared and total game time
MODE SELECTION
Now let's take a step back and have a look at what are the different options for DotO:
Note: as you can see for DotO you can choose the difficulty because it will only determine the power of the monsters.
The "normal - 1 entrance" on the "options" pane is refered to the conditions of the outpost (more on this just under here)
Let's click on "change" and:
in the "details" pane you can see the conditions of the outpost once the game starts plus it let's you know how rewarding the side-quests are.
I'm sure you noticed the "1 entrance to defend" option at the bottom of the details pane.
What does that mean?
It means that the player can choose how many entrances the outpost will have.
This will make the game a lot harder not only for the fact that the player has to defend the outpost from multiple-side attacks but also that he has to destroy a number of Demonic Shards equal to the number of entrances (and remember that every Demonic Shard will increase the effects of Demonic Influence)!
Infernal Rift
nfernal Rift is the last suggestion I have (finally
).WHAT IS INFERNAL RIFT?
The player has to reach a "room" where he can find the Infernal Rift and then seal it.
To accomplish this he has to complete quests and gain control of strategic areas that gives him buffs of his choice.
Once the rift is sealed he can take his just rewards.
HEROIC MODE
Once inside the game the player has to gain control of strategic areas and to do this he has to kill the watch towers:
Before gaining control of an area the banner has to maximize its influence.
This will take some time and in this time the player has to defend the banner from monsters' attacks (if the banner is destroyed he has to replace it and re-do the "operation").
Once he gained control of the area:
he can choose which buff to gain:
The buff affects the player only while he's inside the area of control. Different areas can have different buffs if the player decides so.
Gaining control of areas is very important because once the player has all areas under his control he will be able to enter in the Infernal Rift room and complete his "mission".
Unfortunately gaining control of areas is not very easy because banners can be attacked by monsters once in a while and also because there might be some "closed paths" that will force the player to do some quests if he wants to proceed:
.. and go back to gain control of other areas.
Once all areas are under the player's control the Infernal Rift room will open and a boss will spawn.
The player has to kill the boss and destroy the Infernal Rift to be victorious.
Note: once you can target the Infernal Rift (it's invulnerable until you kill the boss) and you attack it, it will keep spawning monsters (both normal and elite) until you completly destroy it.
NEPHALEM MODE
It works much like the "heroic mode" but you will have no quests, maps will be "mirror-style maps", rewards will be PvP-oriented (if they will ever exist) and it will be a speed-run mode.
You objective is always the same: seal the Infernal Rift. To do this you have to gain control of all areas on your side of the map. This will open your door and lock other player's doors that grant access to the "central room" (the Infernal Rift is inside this room). Here's an example of a 1vs1 match:
Note: once the "central room" is opened, the random monsters' attacks to your banners will stop.
Note 2: mirror-style maps might be something like this: http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/monk/TLMC2/korpolusmall2.jpg (thanks SC2
)"white dots" are the spawning locations of each player in a ALL VS ALL match.
If you succeed in sealing the Infernal Rift you will take all the rewards for your own.
But if you die... well... you won't be able to resurrect, other players' doors will unlock and you will lose your chance to win.
Q&A
In DotO what's the point in wasting time between a wave and another to upgrade the outpost/soldiers or accept side-quests? Isn't it better to just go straight for the Demonic Shards?
For certain cases probably you are right. Maybe in the case where you have just one entrance you'd better go directly for the Demonic Shard.
But did you think that you can choose a harder difficulty and/or more than one entrance?
In the case of more than one entrance, if you go for one Demonic Shard are you sure you will be able to find it, kill all the demons to reach it, kill the boss, destroy the Demonic Shard and go back in time before your outpost is overwhelmed by monsters?
Did you think about allowing the "upgraded outpost buff" to be active only while inside the outpost itself and not "global"?
Yes, I thought about it and I think it will make DotO even more challenging.
The only thing is that Demonic Influence "numbers" have to be balanced.
Will there be only one map for DotO?
Well I'd like to have at least 3/4 different maps
Your numbers/values are all screwed!
As I wrote earlier numbers/values are just examples
This also includes the time between waves in DotO.
What happens if a player of the other team gain control of all areas at the same as me in the Infernal Rift?
Well... I don't thin it can happen. There is always a 0,0001 sec of difference between two actions
Don't you think that the Extreme difficulty in Wave of Death is a bit too... extreme? C'mon... 1 boss every 5 waves plus frequent random spawns and normal minions are elite minions?!
I say: why not?
I mean.. players asked for challenges! Then give them challenges!
You are not forced to play on that difficulty... you can still enjoy Wave of Death in a lower difficulty
But Wave of Death is just another suggestion of the usual endless wave game. Why bother to suggest it again?
I think that giving Blizzard different variations of this type of game might allow them to find something new and interesting to implement. Also.. if you suggest it once again they might really implement it
DamienJohn suggested the challenge mode just a few days ago. In his post he also suggested the "Infernal Tower" feature that is similar to your Wave of Death. Did you just steal his ideas for your own glory?
Absolutely no. I read his thread and I liked it a lot.
Wave of Death, Infernal Tower or whatever you name it it's always the same suggestion that the community has been asking for quite some time now: an endless wave game with increasingly difficulty monsters.
Similar ideas but with some differences (I wrote this just above here).
The only thing I stole from him was the name of the new game mode "Challenge mode" because I think it's very fitting for a mode that can include both PvP and PvEvP.
Defence of the Outpost and Infernal Rift ideas weren't suggested by anyone else.
Or did I really miss that awesome post where someone suggested similar ideas? O_O
That's all guys!
I hope you enjoyed it (the few ones who were able to read till here at least
)!Let me know what you think.
TLDR Version
Introducing Challenge Mode.
Challenge mode will have 3 different "sub-modes": Wave of Death, Defence of the Outpost and Infernal Rift.
Wave of Death
It is one of the most popular features that this community would like to have in the game.
It's an "arena" where you have to fight waves of increasing difficulty monsters.
The player can also choose some "particular" options to make the game harder.
Defence of the Outpost
Defence of the Outpost or DotO is similar to a "monsters wave" game but it's very different in philosophy.
You have to destroy the Demonic Shards that are the cause of the demonic invasion on the region.
Unfortunately there are many villagers and soldiers that ask for help so you have also to protect them.
So your mission is to protect the soldiers while at the same time put an end to the demonic invasion by destroying the Demonic Shards.
You can also upgrade your outpost and soldiers and you can do side-quests to help you claim victory.
The player can also choose the starting conditions of the outpost (quantity of soldiers, starting resources etc.)
Infernal Rift
Solo/cooperative: The player has to reach a "room" where he can find the Infernal Rift and then seal it.
To accomplish this he has to complete quests and gain control of strategic areas that gives him buffs of his choice.
Competitive: the player has to reach a "central room" where he can find the Infernal Rift and then seal it before opponent players.
To accomplish this he has to gain control of strategic areas that gives him buffs of his choice.
It's a speedrun game but if the player dies he cannot resurrect and other players will have the possibility to claim both treasure and victory.
The game will be played on mirror-like maps. Much like this one: http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/monk/TLMC2/korpolusmall2.jpg
