EotA: Twilight 1.14f14F Download

#1 Post by DarnYak »

New hero, in completely 100% untested alpha state and unfinished tooltips and no talents. Aka don't play her yet. Only uploading cause I need to desync test.

The f F is probably for fucking FAIL.

Tree's ult can revive disease clouds from the summoned skeletons.
Perk altars show up.
Murloc Rampage, Miasma, and Blade Rain nerf.
Nemesis replacement.

I still feel that Gluttony's ult can be ridiculously strong. It's hard to take down the Potluck while the strong sludges attack you. It also seems to have a low cooldown.

Test version revision to the previous, so it doesn't deserve its own thread.

Brainlust can rape buildings but it's not easy getting a base completely isolated versus the AI which spams mercs. In my opinion, it's a suitable replacement for Miasma now.

Is it okay for Storm not to be able to attack ethereal units?
For some reason, it feels like Snowblast can fail to hit at close range.
Thunderstorm doesn't last the full duration of 15 seconds or the number of strikes is low.
It completely rapes buildings since no damage reduction seems to apply (besides the getting hit in a row).

Reminder for slight orc nerf.

AI:
Defiler prematurely cancels his heal (thankfully not when I'm in red) and blight from time to time. You might want to tone down how much Defiler spams Blight.
Haven't seen Bane cast impale at all.
Anti-stuck code get Defiler stuck.

The new brainlust healing effect is more useful for heroes because it can also be triggered by skill use, not just attacks. As watermelon already mentioned, the attack speed increase can help to quickly take down a tower if no enemy units to be killed (and thus end the buff) are present.

Concerning the stormweaver:
  • hero selection tooltip still lists skills of other heroes
  • stormweaver hero has no ai for her skills
  • -s for snowblast displays number of blasts as 0
  • -s for thunderstorm displays number of lightning strikes as 0
  • thunderstorm creates fewer lightning strikes than the tooltip states (I reached up to 9, but at level 4 there should have been about 20)
  • elusive mead doesn't work (neither with nor without the talent)
  • twister duration works totally differently than the tooltip states: the units are turned into twisters that count as summoned units; these have a fixed duration of 5 seconds, but when the duration expires or the twister is killed (damage skills work as expected; attacks from cannon towers and - to my surprise - attacks from guard towers can hit them despite their 100% evasion), another twister is created in its place; this process repeats several times (the number is variable; I don't know what it depends on, the highest I observed so far was 12) before the original unit reemerges; I'm not sure whether it is possible to turn twisters into twisters by hitting them with the skill again

Yea part of this release was for me to debug twister, hence the 5s duration. And what you describe is exactly what is happening - a unit gets hit by twister, spawns a twister replacement, which is then immediately hit by twister and replaces itself like 20 times.
Thunderstorm doesn't last the full duration of 15 seconds or the number of strikes is low.
Oops, the spell itself was only 6 seconds long.

Currently the units hit by twister stay twisters until they die, his innate does not function (elusive brew), lightning tether can target terrain and heroes but not normal creatures(not sure if its intended), as sited before thunderstorms duration is too low. When casting lightning tether a graphical effect that really doesn't fit shows up slightly displaced from the caster again not sure if its intended but between its included sfx and its model it turns out to be distracting and potentially annoying.

The graphic effect on tether is intended to show the border where it'll break.

Also, watermelon please come say hi to my bot when you get a chance.

Snowblast fails to hit targets at point blank range.
It would be nice if Tether's radius is visible to allies when cast on them.
[FIXED] Vile Infusion's research tooltip is green after Channeled.

I didn't see AI AC cast her ult.

I saw Arcane Archer's pet in a lane without the hero a couple of times. I forgot to save the replay.

Is it possible she was just invisible, e.g. because of spore cloud?

No spore cloud, and I don't think any heroes buy invisibility potions. For now, all I can say is be on the lookout for the Arcane Archer's pet fighting on its own lane.

It happened at Stormwail Peak. Once it happened at the bottom lane, and it happened on another lane that I can't remember. I should also point out that the AI controlled the Arcane Archer.

Brainlust doesn't work properly. The attack speed buff ends after a kill (or after 5 kills on heroes), but no healing occurs.
