Eve of the Apocalypse: Twilight

I'm also pretty surprised with Soul Strike being that high because it doesn't feel threatening. I keep rechecking it and coming up with the same result. Maybe its just so easy to run out of, maybe its so rarely taken, maybe having the damge be over 6 seconds distorts the perception of how much you'...

Just FYI there's 2 threads because I wanted a separate cleaner one. Random nonsense should stick to this one. This is interesting, and I'd like to give some feedback. However, my internet is very limited and I'm very busy this week. It's also an indirect response to you're Zen Archery analysis. Top ...

Preface: - There was a lot of data entry involved so there's a reasonable chance some of the numbers are wrong, or even that formulas are wrong, so don't be afraid to call me out if something's off - These are all raw numbers assuming a normal perfect hit - nothing except standard hero reduction, Ao...

I've checked it like 3 times and can't find any errors. I know whenever I did the rough math in the past it was abnormally high but I didn't realize that high.

Yea sure why not.

I also have a table for AoE damage only I'll be posting when I make a more complete post.

I was going to write a long preface here but I'm tired and not done but wanted to post this work in progress because its interesting (to me, anyway). All numbers are rank 6 skills at level 30 with no items/buffs/whatever. Except the far right block, that's all 6 ranks (1-6 left to right). I'll uploa...

45 downloads in 1 day what.

Zeppelin tweaks, some balance tweaks, probably a stable release version.

DarnYak

Shared energy is definitely happening, probably for next week. slightly faster construction times, a "mini-generator" item, etc. Another problem to using gens effectively is that it's very easy to forget that you built a gen as the ingame notification is easily lost with the other stuff ha...

Trying to get a stable version out, so fixes the few issues found.

Edit: Here's the fixed version

DarnYak

•Fatal attraction does not always seem to get removed.

Does it sometimes get removed? I did find a bug where death will leave it there but otherwise everything seems clear..

DarnYak

Bugfixes!

And I forgot last time, the b is for bomb!

DarnYak

•Damage from Fatality and Penance seemed to be odd at times; dealing a lot of damage at one period. Don't have exact time for replay, but I got killed by Penance. Confirming weird damage! It's not exclusive to those two spells though. Basically, since WC3 sucks, I have to pass a lot of crap in glob...

Last Edit: 11/14/13

I have no idea what changed.

DarnYak

•Fluster doesn't affect the Fel Horde Diabolist unit, probably because that unit has no ability. So I wasn't aware that happened but I went through all the basic units and added a filler ability that will hopefully prevent further issues. Let me know if you catch any others. •[Scarlet Maiden's] mod...

Btw, thanks for uploading these but it'd be nice if you could label the videos based on AI games vs human games.

Some changes for b2 (might release b2 tomorrow, undecided): - The zepp will move all the way to the center fountain before floating back and forth, this way it should both avoid pathing over the houses and the tower targeting when it gets to bases should be more balanced. Might need further refineme...

New Candleburg! Terrible item changes! And surprises!

DarnYak

I think I found a bug (or at least an undocumented feature): when I walked over a Catapulting Sigil, my Infiltrator lost her invisibility from Blitz. I suspect (but haven't tested it yet) that other effects that push, pull or throw heroes might do the same, and that Blitz is not the only invisibili...

It's in 1.15b.

DarnYak

I think you miss the point, its an interesting way to do a lesser form of invisibility detection, so you could so something different like make dryad owls turn red whenever an invisible hostile is near, but you won't know who (admittedly, you can usually guess) or be able to target them/know their e...

Ah fair enough, its just not realistic to do in WC3.

DarnYak

Pretty sure that's okay since you still got your health back afterwards; after all Moratorium is supposed to keep you at the same life for its duration. The clone you swapped to got your health, which would be correct since it wasn't affected by Moratorium Just fyi I made moratorium forcibly swap w...

I think it would be cool to have a "Gem of True Sight" type item in the game that doesn't fully reveal invisible units but, instead, reveals a translucent portrait from a more limited distance. I guess that might be hard to code and too much trouble. That wouldn't really help, in the game...

I'm curious about why you decided to nerf AoO.

Because no hero should be able to 1 shot another hero at full health (outside of ridiculous circumstances), which is what happened to me several times last week.
