Synergy RPG!! :D
by Whitey93 and rabid_weinerdog

Plotline:
It had to be one of the worst blizzards he had ever experienced. Krinith had been trekking through the blizzard for at least a day. Visibility was nonexistent, and he could barley see his feet, let alone the path. He held a cloth close to his mouth, ensuring that no ice crystals got into his lungs. Only his eyes were visible in his bulky outfit, his eyelashes heavy with ice. He was told that it wasn't always like this, where a hot day was 60 degrees below. His village elders told of a time, before their elders, that it was once not only warm there, it was actually hot! They told of how it was all destroyed by two great tribes, encompassing unimaginable amounts of land. They had weapons that they dropped out of giant flying machines from the heavens, and when they impacted, they could do miraculous things, terrible things, flooding the area, causing it to get warmer or colder, and some of the strongest ones could even destroy everything in their radius. The two great tribes also were able to summon demons from an alternate universe; the two most terrible ones were called "The Master" and "The Beast". The Master eventually rebelled and took over the tribe that made him. This tribe later became known as the Demon Horde. The Beast was a giant by northerner standards, and at 11'. 700 pounds, and nearly impenetrable skin, he drew fear into the hearts of all who saw him. The war escalated, neither side willing to budge, and the weapons were used by both sides without a second thought. The combination of all the different effects from the thousands of weapons mixed together, creating a cataclysmic explosion, which killed millions. Not giving up, "The Master" brought out his ace card, a gigantic weapon of such immense proportion, it dwarfed most small cities. He unleashed it upon the enemy tribe's capital, but what he didn't expect was that it would have dire consequences. Leaving nothing but a crater two dozen miles wide, all the dirt went into the air, blocking out the sun and freezing the world. The master is still out there, with the remnants of his government now worshiping him as a god, and they say The Beast is still wandering around the frozen wastes, annihilating everything in his path. But Krinith didn't have time to ponder such things, he had to keep moving. He had to find it. It was his only hope.

So there's the prologue (if you want to call it that). The game starts you off arriving in a town by the Great Sea. You have just arrived in town, and need to solve a brief puzzle before you can convince the Dock Master to open the door to the great Hiraya Mountain Range. Once outside, you may begin your journey killing hordes of bloodthirsty barbarians and demon-worshipping cultists :)

Features:
-Awesome Quests!! (next to 0 grind quests!) (around 40 at the moment)
-Epic Dungeon Boss Fights (fully scripted/triggered boss fights)
-Challenging... everything (no super powered heroes solo'ing everything in the game, stuff actually requires teamwork)
-Pretty good terrain, imo (original zones)
-Cool Spell SFX + Completely triggered spells (no standard wc3 abilities in sight for these heroes!)
-Upgradable Spell System (through the use of books, cause knowledge is power!)
-Save/load (did I even need to mention this? :) )

Oh, and yeah.. dont forget to go to me and whitey's forums =D

Terrain looks ok. Not too great, looks really crowded. Also, I suggest increasing your fog to make the terrian look better and not using royal blue fog. Use custom fog and play around with mixing colours.
Nice website :).

looks nicely terrained for an arctic themed map.... but the one thing that's bugging me is the hero you used in the screens! I mean I may be wrong because I don't experience snow where I live, but wouldn't a tree man die in the cold? I dunno he just really seems out of place with his green shrubbery and what not

Ok just played for a bit. The elf at the dock you start dies. dunno if this is supposed to happen or not. and the person that gives you the cultist insigna quest also manages to get killed. the barbarians ran and killed her...i got back just in time to see her die at the hands of 2 barbarians and thus we couldnt do the quest anymore. and this isn't a bug or anything but you should give more time or have the timer at the top right for when someone leaves. i afk'd for a bit came back and was exited out of the game without being able to save because the guy i was playing with left
EDIT: We died in wolf dungeon at the alpha wolf part, when we revived there were 2 wolves in town attacking the people. also dungeon doesn't reset, if you die in it wolves stay there and add on to the spawned ones

May I suggest narrowing down the spell icons for the hero of the north, have some death icons with the skin of the hero doesn't go well. Otherwise love the terrain but looks a bit cramped.

Int does increase spell damage, just you wont see any difference in the first 15'ish levels ... I could make the spell damage variable a real, so you'll see the decimal amounts i guess though. It scales really well though once you get into the 20's.

As for that error at the end, i assume its because you gave a wisp a book.. which ive been told does that >.>

You get the level 1 D spell from Fey (the elf you killed at the end there)

And as for the lag from Hero of the North, I'll work on trying to fix that >.>

but only one dropped, wich means only one player can get a level 1d spell?

as for the int thing, so your telling me that for a whol 15*5= 75 + your inital int stat points is needed to see the frist point of damage? players want to see a noteable change per level, they want to know that their actions are really makeing a differnce. People RARELY have the patience to grind though 15+ levels to see a one point differnce in their offensive spells, if youve set it up like that then i would suggest you redo the entire equation to how int scales your magic damage so it's noteable (even with attack a .5 differnce is noteable cuz its 1 damage every 2 points, not 1 damage every 75+ points)

Rabid and Whitey got into a fight and stopped working on this project, and with each other in general. They shut down the forums, and as far as anyone knows, no long are active on Wc3. Only way to contact them would be finding out if they are active anywhere else, or know them in real life.
Says "Game is not found" probably because they stopped working on it before 1.24 patch and it can't work with it now

    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
