Hello, I'm Dead-Inside *nod nod*.
Okay, at the moment the current team I'll be needing are generaly IDEA and BRAINSTORM crew. The mod staff is for the most part filled after that.
So, if you are one hell of a thinker and can come up with new features, new ways to enhance gameplay and other cool things (including secrets, items, heros and the heros spells) please sign in at the forums. You don't have to be some kind of mastermind, but you have to be somewhat creative ;).
The hardness of actually doing the spells and things you think up doesn't matter and all non-dumb (this is things that may actually help us, not things that we emmidetly see will decrease gameplay) will be processed and most likely tested.

More information and our own board here.

Just wanted to give some attention (I just edited so I hope it is okay to bump this, because it is, infact, a new thread in an old one).

Sorry...I want to help but I can't.
1-I can only do good terrain. And it seems you and someone else do terrain as well, so I am not needed in that. (I can do some basic triggering though)
2-My arm is still hurting so I am not going to work on anything soon.
But good luck anyway.

Thanks for your time

I'd just like to state that we still need an idea team. If you have time over for more ideas I have another project that also needs a little new store of ideas to pick from.
But firstly, STFU Arena.
Come on people, noone want to help us develop the best arena seen yet today? A lot of actions, quests, stocks, easy-to-understand gameplay and unique items and spells?

Ideas, huh? I posted something somewhere about arena ideas.

Just look at the flaws of modern arenas.
Firstly, the stupid trigger that gives you set income sucks.

Second, alot of arenas have turned into creep hunters. I haven't seen many people who almost ignore them. It's just a retarded aspect.

Third, alot of people are given ample space in the large arenas to hide, get the x amount of money, and type "Uther". It's rediculous. A smaller arena encourages more fighting, cuz you can't hide. You also shouldn't be allowed to just kill yourself, with penalty or not.

Fourth, The spells become utterly worthless. Not only is it unoriginal, using the same Goddamn spells as Blizzard uses, but they suck and become pointless. The cheap tome shit and the fact that they suck make for a wasted space, while it could be used for some good ideas.

Fifth, There are no skins, custom models, portaits, animations, new tilesets, spells, or any real novelties to almost all of them.

So here's a common picture of a arena game:
-=Lifeless=- picks Demon Hunter. -=Lifeless=- goes into arena. -=Lifeless=- hides in corner. -=Lifeless=- gathers income. -=Lifeless=- types uther. -=Lifeless=- dies. -=Lifeless=- buys 40 tomes. -=Lifeless=- kills all the people (if any) who play the game killing people at lvl 1. -=Lifeless=- kills all the creeps, avoiding players. -=Lifeless=- buys the 75000 drink and becomes invincible. Cheap as hell.

My idea is to destroy the fixed income while inside the arena and all the creeps. Create 20 completley new and awesome units. Have a small arena. (I've seen both of these tricks somewhere. Just look around) Have the heroes go up to level 20 or above (Seen this somewhere, post link later) and give them more than 8, completley new spells (seen it somewhere,too). Give only money to the players who kill other players. Since there are no creeps, they have to go fight people. Make 1 store in the center, instead of a hiding spot on the outside. Give the custom spells out to higher levels. Gold only to those who kill. Make the items cost a decent amount of money, and no tomes. That way it's a little more balanced.

So destroy:
Creeps
Tomes
Constant income
Large arenas
The lame spells
unbalanced units.

Add:
Balanced, completley new or modified (skins) units.
Custom spells
20 + level heroes
Money to those who kill
No hiding spots
Skins, animations, models, etc.
And make it fun, not some sucky *** turd with an invicibility potion and 50 worthless charecters.

So the new units are forced to kill to get money. There's no hiding. no tomes. No creeps. No new custom spells for those who don't work for them. No opportunity to hide means more kills. More kills equals more money. More money gets you better items, but aren't cheap as hell. This would sound more fun than the above listed arena experience.

Oh, I forgot. I'm good at terraining and ideas, if ya wanna know.
