New map idea (similar to custom hero survival)

Hey guys =)

I lately have been playing some great maps (perSonas, Rise of Winterchill, Custom Hero Survival) and have been getting some ideas. I was wondering if anyone else is interested.

If any of you have played guild wars, you understand the kind of combat they have. It's much more technical that WoW and other kinds of RPG's. There are various types of say buffs and debuffs (conditions, hexes, chants, enchantments..) that each have their own niche in combat. I think making a map to capitolize on this strategic combat would be really exciting.

A kind of a fast paced, often hosted map would be ideal. Not a long drawn out game like RoW, but more like perSonas. Maybe like 20-25 minutes. It would either be about 6 players versus an AI, or 3v3 or 4v4. The combat would be really strategic, and I want the possibility for MANY effective yet original builds.

For example, like the earth elementialist in GW, it would be fun to make a spell that say converts all incoming damage to spell damage and lowers your armor a little. Then you could combine this with say a spell that lowers spell damage, or a spell absorbing spell, or maybe a reflection spell. Many people would overlook said spell, as it seems not too useful, but with the many other original spells, you could make a fun build out of it =)

I know this may seem daunting, but I think it would be a fun map to work on. If you want to discuss, please hit me up here. I'll code if any of you guys want to chip in.

Thanks =]. Codebliss.

i do have played gw and i think it is a nice idea.. the only thing about bufs and de buffs is that you can hardly see them...

-and if you have attachment to them.. you need to recognize the attachment.. or figure out which buffs or de buffs they have on look only..

-and wc3 only knows 1 kind of buffs.. so it woul be hard to "dispell" something..

but then again making it with spell that are as you say "looked over "
and are then yousefull + short and fast combat.. i would like that

There's plenty of buff systems that can handle this. I'm of course using vJass in this project if it gets started up. If you want to get the feel for what I'm talking about, play personas aos. All it takes is some smart programming and some passion =).

I'm working on some spell ideas at the moment. I'll get some examples for you guys shortly.

PS: I was thinking of using floating text and/or attachments to help with the buffs. Also maybe custom icons with different color borders for the types of debuffs/buffs.

different types of icons would be useful..

don't know if the text thingy will work (and i don't really like floating teksts)..


PS: looking forward to your spells :D

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
