What did you think about the RotD Campaign?

Comments?

__________

There were a ton of bugs, errors and other things that should have been caught during beta, but weren't. Some parts of the campaign (e.g. the flying over Northrend) were a little unclear as to what you needed to do. Other than the excessive amount of bugs, the game flowed somewhat well and the storyline was half decent. Overall I'd say the hype was a greater than the actual campaign.

Where to start.

I really like the ammount of detail in the terrain, far better than I could've done.

Incredible work on the voice acting.

Some stay the story-line isn't exactly the best, but at least it has a storyline, and a decent one at that.

Nice job on the custom models, campaign screens, etc.

I really liked the ammount of time it takes to complete this campaign. Its not like the ones that came with RoC, whereas I completed the first 3 of them in one day, the last one and the bonus the next day. This one actually took a couple hours just on certain maps. Nice job.

if you completed the first 3 RoC campaigns in a day, either you spent WAY too long playing, or you cheated. I did the calc, theres 5 timed missions that take a total of 3 and a bit hours.

Anyway, on RotD, pritty much exactly what bug said. There were some horrendous errors and theres a huge amount of unused stuff in the MPQ, its about 50 meg with all the unused stuff removed.

Well, it's ok. Terraining, custom music, custon models and skins, voice-acting are all good, but the campaign really needs some bug-fixing.

What I found extremely disturbing was the saving-bug, which I encountered in map 3 and 5. I tried to save my game, but the saving process is....well, after about 10 minutes of seeing the "saving game" screen, three things can happen.

1) The game crashes.
2) The game tells you that there is not enough HDD space for the savegame and aborts the saving process. And I had like 1 GB of free space...well, WC3 savegames do need some HDD space, but this is just ridiculous.
3) The game is saved normally.

:\

got the same thing, also, once i saved many times, either the scorpian king dies, then it says meta dies, even though meta was completly fine, it was after I loaded, so i suppose the variables for meta and the scropian king got messed up.

Another, is if the snow owl dies, it drops and item, that does nothing, has no name, cannot be dropped or used, and takes up 1 thing of space. I picked it up one time and had to start over, I think i craashed or something.

Another one, I was doing wing whirl in the nurebian city, then about half way thourgh i wanted to cast mind control, as soon as i cast it, my computer crashes, have to start over.


A thing that happens so often is losing your invintory, if you beat a mission with the spell book open, or alchemie, i believe you lose your inventory.

there are alot more bugs but I don't feel like typing.

It was a really cool game, but the bugs downgraded it greatly.

Ive played through the first couple of levels, and arent motivated enough to play through the rest. Gameplay and story are moderate, but the maps are certainly pretty. Theres just nothing specialor particularly interesting there that will motivate me to actually invest the time into finishing this thing.

I havent completed the campaign yet and the only reason that i had to get past the 3rd level was to see the ending cinematic but now I am doubting that it will be any good. I was expecting a blizzard quality campaign or above blizzard quality but this came no where close. I am only keeping the giant campaign file because i have use of the nerzhul with potrait model.

1/10 for the amout of bugs (ie:jetpack only lasts for 10 seconds no matter how many lvls you put in it)
7/10 for the storyline
2/10 for the quests
9/10 for the models
7/10 for the potencial of the triggers
3/10 for the gameplay

29/60 Rating: not good needs alot of fixes, aproximatly early beta stage of completion

For bugs that should be fixed i noticed that it didnt say how to do the gem thing in the 3rd level

jetpack doesnt work very well. That is a minor mistake

there is a hidden unit in the 9th levewl that casts sleep on your nits that will not go away and another one that breathes black fire on you.

the book of whats his name can create billions of skeletons (thats how I beat level 8) and uses infinite spells that cost 0 mana (ie:shockwave, mass healing, roar, etc.)

and thats all i can think of off the top of my head.

it was good way to many bugs meesed up tool tips, and alot of the bugs i had to open and fix myself (like in second map i think, it ran sam trigger instead of the trigger that leads up to the victory trigger. i thought it would work without me doin that but i even restarted thing twice killed all undead but still wouldnt win, also another annoying bug in there was that toxic spiders i think they were kept spawning there spiders in center of map), and my computer suxs(19 gig hardrive and only around 4.98 gigs left). to me it shouldve endured a bit more beta testing.

the Toxic spiders have a "Dwarven Flare" ability that is suppost to spawn a little spiderling at their location, but theres a bug which means the spiderlings spawn in the middle of the map.

Sorry 'bout the recent poll problems. Should be fixed now. :D

Well i personaly have given up until a patch is made. I have had to re-install warcraft already, restart ROTD twice and certain maps have had to keep playing over and over again just to get past the bugs. I am now on the filight over northrend but just cant be bothered.

Alot of work has gone into it especially on models skins, terrain basically the art stuff. but its a REALLY hard campaign not because of the gameplay but the fact you have to do it EXCACTLY right otheriws the game will bug(mind the pun) up.

I really didnt like it, but the models i liked.
It could have been more original, it could of had all 5 aspects help you in some way. You were in caves to much, and in 4 missions your practicallly back to notherend, which i didnt like. Their could of been some stories on the aspects also. And cameras in certain levels just made me mad, before i get pissed, i'll finish with a rating.

:< :< :< :<

2 infernalroxor out of 6

I didn't get as many bugs as most people, I rarely used Jetpack anyway, so I found it more enjoyable than most. 4 grunts out of 5, just needs some fixing :D :D :D :D :<

Guess I'm the only one here who hasn't played it yet.
I really really wanted to cuz I've been really excited about it.
I even got it downloaded but from what I've seen how ppl complain about bugs - I'll just wait for the next version especially because these seem to be major 'game crashing/locking/making_unfinishable bugs' (kinda more bugs found here than in the last beta of my campaign lol :) ).
