RPG Defiance's Open RPG -Sword of Truth-

[Defi4nc3]

007 Done! SPELL BOOKS ARE BACK IN!

Version 007 Updates *COMPLETE*
~~~~~~~~~NEW SYSTEM --- "EQUIPPABLE SPELLBOOKS!"
Miss the old DORPG characters that had so many spells to choose from and were stat based // had to be a certain level to get? Well the idea is back in DORPG: Sword of Truth as Spell Books that are equipped by your Hero! What I mean by equip is really scribe, you will use the Spell Book in your inventory and all the spells of that book will be usable by your Hero, it will acutally be apart of your Hero and hotkeyed with Z, making it very convienent to switch between your Spell Book spells and Heroes regular spells. Low level spell books will only have 6 spells to use while the max level spell books will have 10 spells you can use, this of course means the higher level heroes will have access to the more powerful spells since high level spell books will not be usable by low levels, you must meet the level requirements. This means at end game your Hero is going to have 15 abilities to choose from! But not only that since these spell books are
equipped you are able to "Unequip" them! You may use the "Unlearn Spell Book" ability within your spell book to forget those spells and use another spell book of your choice! The spells will sometimes be stat related, so like in vanilla DORPG your heroes attributes will effect your spell damage. This will give YOU! The player tons of variety to choose from in character design. This system has totally changed the flow of the game and if you really miss the old DORPG experience and believed Sword of Truth wasn't giving it to you, well now it will, spell books are back!!!

[Renendaru]

Yay, my comp messed up on me for awhile. Internet wasn't working, had to get it fixed. (Was playing on my laptop)

It's good news that a new version is out, but didn't you originally say 1~2 days? No complaints on this end however.

This was a pretty massive update with the spell book system being added is why, if its just pure content addition it takes 1-2 days, but adding a entire new system can take a day of testing alone.

 

[Renendaru]

I understand that oh too well. With my old map it took me at least 8 hours straight to even map the system out and balance the effects of it.

 

[NightShade]

well I played your map(yesterday), and one of the main thing I noticed is that when I selected the map in the custom game screen my computer froze for about a minute, and the minimap and description updated from my last map selected, and I had to wait another minute for the players list to update. Then I waited 15 seconds for the lag that followed to stop, when it didn't stop I clicked the start button and the game seemed to start (the stuff hanging from chains went up) and my computer froze again for about 30 seconds and the stuff hanging from chains came right back down so I clicked the start button again and after 10-15 minutes of loading screen I was able to play the game. The only other application running was my web browser with only 2 windows open.

right, now on to the actual game.
• every so often all my abilities and items would be DISBTN and disabled and it was only cured by opening up the quest menu.
• if one accidentally teleported themselves into the marsh they could never get out cause the creep were to hard and fast(especially that murloc stinkee)
• the tauren troll people in the troll dungeon are to hard to kill and their difficulty does not differ depending on how many people are attacking it(one person=impossible)
• I was never able to kill the troll dungeon in the 2 hours I played and therefore didn't go onto anywhere harder
• tier 2 spellbooks cost dungeon points that I could never get
• the shaman I played had such a slow mana regen rate(something like 1 every 5-10 secs):nuts:

• the map has very nicely placed camps which is awesome since you can't carry more than six (non-stackable) items and you can buy recruits.
• some characters give more than 1 quest one after another(which is generally nice).

this RPG is nice since it isn't overly complicated but isn't boring. keep up the good work because this RPG has quite some potential to become really good:thup:

After Hosting

After hosting your version v007x many people have told me that the game was very dull and did not include enough action. I don't know what they're talking about. The boss fights are incredibly entertaining and I love the Demonic Seer. He pwns. Nice job, I can't wait till this ORPG gets into the first full version.

I noticed if your playing this game with not a lot of ram and are lagging a lot it will interfere with how the triggers work, I've done a lot of optimizing to try and fix all of this so over the course of development the project will get more stable...

As far as not being able to solo and all of that, you can pretty much solo any of the content if you play your cards right and use every thing the map offers.... DORPG is far from being just another Wc3 map, your gonna have to learn this game and bend what you can to your will in order to make things easier on yourself, a good example would be getting a book of holy to start.

The boss fights are incredibly entertaining and I love the Demonic Seer. He pwns. Nice job, I can't wait till this ORPG gets into the first full version.

This really doesn't surprise me as its alpha, the map isn't finished so I will expect a lot of people to be unhappy about trying a new Defiance Map that can't really compare much to the old...

Once again this will change over time, i'm sure once they play a more complete version their mindset will change...

 

[RodyisGod]

Dude, you got like 1000 ram? Lol

Hmm, Always thought Defiance was one of the 'Great rpgs you don't lag with at start'=]

Well ya, buy more ram i guess.


Defiance,

Are you gonna release 'V0.08 Information [What you gonna add and stuff]
Anytime soon? Curious =]

008 will be done by May 13th, it will include 6 new classes. A new starting area for Dark Tavern Heroes, as well as the current bug fixes...

Of course for all the update information and if you wanna suggest anything there is the www.DORPG.net boards~

Wowish, Looking forward too it.

And Dark has other spawn? -.-
It ain't gonna be too-medieval like right, dark & light are still team?

 

[emootootoo]

Things I like:

• creeps have abilities so the grinding differs somewhat
• quest system
• dungeons were decent
• spellbooks are good to an extent - more variety of spells = fun

Things that need improving:

• potions allowed us to have infinite mana, thus several abilities were broken - especially summons
• items are for the most part boring
• items with rng such as the caster offhands should not use rng, rng is bad
• a lot of spells were boring which in turn made a lot of heroes boring
• spellbooks are a bit of a hassle to switch between, but you can't really do anything about that, you used Q as a hotkey to keep it close to escape which is good i guess
• pathing in dungeons is bad with a million summons up and sometimes it is just bad anyway (troll dungeon)
• too many "OMFG PLZ DONATE TO ME 4 UR OWN CREATION" shops, but i guess that's how you roll
• TREES ARE TOO BIG !@ !!!

anything i didn't mention i most likely approved of but didn't think twice about it

i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and blame it on the fact that it is in alpha for now

though let's face it, an alpha version defiance map is 10x better than a final release shadow_templar map

It depends on who you ask.

 

[xAnaMorphine]

+ Creeps have abilities

- z0Mg I aRe a BiG TrEe bLoCkIng YoUr SigHt No FaDe Nob 1!1one!111!!!11

- Ice Mage is imbalanced, soloing 20 Trolls on level 1.

- To many potions (Well it's alpha, so take out this point.)

- Me: Knock Knock!
System: Who's there?
Me: Me, I keel you!!1
System: Owww!!
Me: Silence! I keeel you!

/ to much system spamming (it looks pro, but it annoys!)

[ I don't think you really give a f... (you know) reading this but well it is just some hints how to improve your map also if I can't do better, whatever I don't care, and if my english isnt that good then it isnt that good o_o;; <- epic sentence.]

QFT, and rofl @ shadow_templar map ^^

 

[Ghostwind]

Sweet, let's hope this is less repetitive than the original

 

[GooS]

Even as is, it beats alot of finished RPGs out there. Keeping it 'simple' but still including large amounts of content, items, spells etc.

I only played a short while with mystery crusader(?) and his charge could basically one shot everything so that wasn't very good.

I'm gonna play more tomorrow and give a better pro/con list or something, but so far it seems neat.

sry if this is the wrong place to ask, but i don't know where i could do this else...
i played "Defi4nc3's ORPG V0.16D" for some time, the map itself is awesome!
but some things u build in there can't be displayed, i can only see black and violet blocks there! can someone tell me what i can do to change this?

Wrong map. :thdown:

Anyways, the version of defiance you played is the old one, and probably a hacked one too.
