Hi,

I have this idea to bring rich PvP based Hero arena to Warcraft 3 community.
The reason I wanna make such map is i have 6 years Pk/PvP experience in Online games.
I want to eliminate the balance issue and various exploits with currently hero arenas.
Most hero arenas is unbalanced. I want to get rid of the top issues, you always see in such maps.
I will put much time into balance and prevent abuse, thats is a key to this map.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Issues:

- Eliminate of mass tomes usage.
- Prevent enormous amount in stats, attack rating, damage, and armor reduction and gold.
- Duplicate item check.
- Camping and kill/steal. (random spawn)
- Map will be big enough to all can creep.
- Balance issue.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Features:

Gaming-type: There will be vote about the game type: Team vs Team or FFA. Also Loot dropable yes/no).

Class-System: 3 Classes Warrior, Archer and Mage. There will only be this for balance purpose. It's hard to balance 15 heroes. Also I can go deeper into 3 classes and focus on them.

Spell-System: You will have 25 Spells/Abilities for each class. I will use the unit replace/learn ability system. You will learn your spells/abilities through buying them from a merchant.

Stats-System: Diablo 2, Str, Dex, Vit and Int. You will be granted 5 point each lvl (lumber) where you can from there put points in stats. (the dex abuse will not play a role!)

Item-System: All loot will be carefully handled advanced loot system (drop tables), I have developed. All items will be made from scratch.

Monster-System: normal respawn, random monster handler.

Hot-keys: Will be chosen wisely to be userfriendly. (abilities)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Notes:

To prevent downtime, your hero will be instant revived. You will then be invisible for the next 30 sec. or until you attack. Where you can get save and buy stuff.

Duels scenes will not the part of this hero arena. I think it's to distracting for other people.



Do you have any comment or questions, please drop a line.

I disagree with the duels thing, theyre a great way of going up in a fair fight vs another player, just make it so everybody doesnt have to watch it.

I havent played any hero areas since roc because of all the imbalances. I do however have some ideas for you.

Make units that are low in life have a slower health regen rate but a higher damage, or basically they are bleeding to death and are fighting to live.

Add quests, make the game less monotonous.

Add item requirements, and if you think it will help add item durability.

And the questions
You mentioned saving, what do you mean by this.

are players going to be limited to only 1 weapon and 1 armor and so on

Good inputs, well thats why I try to ressurect the idea behind hero arenas, just with balanced stuff. About safe is not to safe heroes and being able to play again. It about that your "hero" is safe or cannot be attacked for a bit of time after you are revived.

ic, you have a typo in your first post then. you say save instead of safe, it confused me. Thanks for clarifying though.
