Latest map version thread

You can always get the latest revision here

NOTE: THIS IS BETA. Numerous things aren't implemented or working yet. Also, if player2 starts with a captain (that can actually be seen -- there will always be an interface icon in the upper left for player2 regardless) -- this is a debug hero that I accidentally left in the map. Sometimes I forget to turn debug off and this happens.

Sorry for posting on this thread but I am a macintosh user and therefore cannot download a .rar file so could you maybe post a .zip version of the map?

The link is to the actual map itself, not a rar file. And FYI, there is rar software for mac:

Says it can't open the map, wierd, don't know what problems I have really, just that I can't open the friggen map. :>

Vagabond-

No offence, but everybody say this map is a hero arena that "doesnt suck"... I hosted this on the net and all of the players said, after maybe 30 min of playing, "this is the suckiest map ive ever played". And i had to agree with them; it was really boring. Sure, its hard triggering, jass etc. but the gameplay itself was even worse than angel arena (which is a 110% noob map which totally sucks). It might have been an old version, but stilll....

And i really hope you dont start hating me for this or anything; just telling you what all i have played this with (and myself) thinks of this. And probably most of the ppl on bnet, as those i have played with has been randomly from bnet.

The day I care what the rest of bnet is the same day hell frezes over. The majority of maps on battle.net suck hardcore, this is one of the rare maps that does not.

totally agree, one of the smartest things ive heard here in the forums ;P

Sadly, you have to remeber that the majority of battle.net players are >13 yrs. old. So to make a map popular you have to have the following in it:

1. Hero stats that go above 400 in under 20 minutes.
2. An affordable mask of death that gives the user 50% lifesteal
3. Tomes that cost next to nothing.
4. Items that give you rigged attack speed.
5. Spells that kill enemies in 1 hit.
6. Criticalstrike with every hit.

I really like this hero arena, but sadly, the majority of b.net goers do not (i have never once seen it hosted on b.net [US East], and I have only played the map briefly by myself). I hope you never have to resort doing the above to this map, and keep your diginty. Love the map, sorry to see it unhosted (like so many great maps...).

Well, on Battle.net West, the most popualr map is DOTA. Don't know much about that map, but its followed by, Hero Arena, and TD. Very poorly made terrain maps. The triggers and stuff are good, but there aren't any custom models. I've only seen 2 maps with custom material: One with new interface icons, and Ninjas and Samurai. I guess we here at this site are above the other mappers? :\


BATTLE.NET: A WORLD WHERE CHEAP, POORLY MADE MAPS REIGN SUPREME!

Well I wouldnt expect alot of people to learn the whole modeling deal and such.. I havent seen a single map with any custom details, and I would love to add in that kind of stuff in my maps, but it seems to be hard work... Though I would love to learn how to do so, I assume many people dont have that kind of patience. I find DOTA hosted a lot on East as well

Omfg whoever gave me 2 bad rep points gotta be really bad discusser.... What if everybody who said their thoughts got bad rep here? Stupid or what??

If you cant take critics on your map, you should seriouusly not even post it public. Giving bad reputation because people speak out is

Sure, bnet is filled with nobs, so shuud i get bad rep for saying all of the testers said it sucked? And i critisied (spelled wrong, i know) some things of the map?

stop abusing the negative points

hm yeah that is abusing the bad reputation option. but i dislike most of the maps going around on b.net...

i play on Europe, and its almost ONLY Dota, Mass Td (and other tds) hero arenas, and sometimes rpgs. it gets harder to find Eternal Conflict f.example
and thats a shame cuz thats one of my favourite maps :\ (and its a bloody good one to!)

Totally agree on that, but i dont really have problems "finding" the maps, as i can host. But the problem is ppl doesnt join if i host other maps than tds or dotas... :'(

*still mad because of those bad reputation points*

Sadly, most bnet players want to play dota just to get a super duper zuper powered skeleton archer with 4 stygian desolators, rush into the NE base and destroy anything alone (dont get me wrong, im a UD player always. Go on the other side only if team 2 is full ^_^ ). Now, bout tds. The only good one i ve ever played was blizards'. In ALL others (except survival tds) The three first players and the last one get all the kills, the other players stay weak, the good players call those weak ones lamers or suckers, the weak players leave........and the td made for 9 is played with 4.

P.S: i agree with GaDDen, why give him bad reputation points when he just sais his opinion? (although i like the map)

this went somewhat off-topic, but I agree

all maps played in public are DotA, some tds and some other cwap.
Thats where a custom games clan like mine comes in handy to play some of the more interesting maps (which were bugged by 1.17 sadly).

To speak about that, are you working on a 1.17 version of this map? It sounds interesting enough to try, though I made the experience that Hero Arenas suck (mostly because of imbalances and the simple fact that many heroes simply are worse than others when it comes to hero-fights. Also those uber-stats often ruin most spells. whats the use of 600 hp deathcoil when everyone got 5k hps and like 10 hp/sec regen?).
