isnt jhita a he? or maybe just an "it". either way, jhita is a voidwalker of adaptation or somesuch. so basicly, yes, he adapts to his environment to better suit it.Soul_Reaver wrote:A question came to my mind though, can Jhita change around her primary element?

Why not just select the hero you want, highlight his/her/it's story, hit F10, use alt+hotkey for pause game, and read to your heart's content?Phox wrote:This is a minor thing, but you might want to set it so there's no timer for picking heroes in single-player.

Except they're nothing alike..? Ebony's second skill in AotZ fires multiple arrows in a line, Volley targets all nearby adjacent foes. If anything, Volley is more like Forked Lightning or something.pandamanar wrote:I really wished that you had cept Rose's channel the same... The new Volley just seems too much like Ebony from AotZ.
Okay, you weren't the only one reporting this, so I'm sure of what it is now. Thanks.Andriejj wrote:I tested Kassar a few times, now I'm sure. Fasat + Prevailing Winds cause the crash. So like, self-inflicting conditions.
All of the items are fairly imba in some way, but more costly is not the solution. Crown is awesome and all, but so are all of the other items. As, say, Exuro, I think I'd have a hard time picking between Imperfection, Heart of Rendabi, Crown, Rikters, or whatever. I mean, they're all pretty awesome, so I don't think it's a problem.Andriejj wrote:The crown seems kind of cheap, compared to other 8 faction items. Conditions play a much bigger part now, so such ultimate item should be somehow distinguished. Maybe 10 or 12 faction?
It's unfortunate I didn't get a chance to finish them all, or rather wasn't motivated to. You can tell I really gimped out Dis' special effects, they're either galvanized from Jhita or look pretty shoddy. (Except Heartburn, I did manage to finish that one)Andriejj wrote:On the last note, those visual upgrades are awesome, Tornne's new ultimate SFX is just orgasmic
If it 'flies' off like you say, then it isn't working properly. It should only activate when he is issued an order and it should always track the correct last given order such that it won't be going somewhere you didn't want it to go in the first place. It's a really tricky spell in code, so I'll have to test it myself and investigate further.AnemicRoyalty wrote:i absolutely love the idea of Path of Shadows, it is simply brilliant. The only problem with it is that (as has been mentioned) he flies off at a perpendicular angle when (i'm not sure which is the exact cause here, they seem to be interrelated) he either attacks an enemy or moves toward an enemy but is blocked. He also flies off when hit by a trebuchet. My only beef with the skill is that it is unpredictable - when it works, it's brilliant.

Congratulations
I encountered this bug too, it's nothing to do with what Fulla suggested though. The problem lies in that stupid hero selection timer thing I added. I didn't have any real testing with it in a multiplayer environment, so there's definitely a loophole I missed. Not sure if anyone else noticed it, but on rematches it seems to bug out as well. (Multiple timer windows) I'll address all of these issues, no sweat.Andriejj wrote:The opposing team couldn't pick their heroes, because the camera didn't move to the hero selection area. They were stuck with it at the middle of the map, we had to rematch, uh.
This is intentional. I did this so that if you continue to die, when an enemy pushes into your base and you really are losing, the game won't prolong indefinitely. In all of the tests I've been in so far, this has been more than successful without keeping players out of the game at all. I am hugely confident that how it is is the most suitable solution, and shit, it even interacts with conditions -- Bless my widdle heart.Andriejj wrote:Another bug. Every time I revive, the mute is getting longer. I didn't do well in that game, so I ended up with like, 30 second mute. It extends with each new revive.
I don't have sound on my computer, as I've said thousands of times before. This is an oversight and I will address it in the next version.Andriejj wrote:Tristan - it might be meant, he's a ghostly guy, but there's no sound on his attack. Also the ultimate lacks audio.
I'll take all balance issues in stride. Please try to keep this thread mostly for bug reports at this juncture, this forum is the place to put balance discussion. (Trying to stay organized a little bit)Andriejj wrote:Daggurnot's knockdown spell is too strong, imo. Reduce the radius, maybe. It requires no real effort to cast, unlike Gust, for example, you just cast and *BAM*, everyone on the ground and ready to be smacked, all channeling stopped.
I'd suggest to buff Dis a bit. He's totally useless against heroes with very high hp and nukers (Dauggurnot and Genobee, for example, unless Genobee has his little friends to steal life from). 2-3 nukes/AoE spells, and he's dead.
unwirklich never finished all of the stuff he had to do, or rather takes a million years to do it, so he didn't get the icon updates I wanted. I did manage to rename all of his skills, though, so whenever I do get the icons I will update. Additionally, there are other cool things I want to do, but they're a bit too dependent on artists that aren't AR/KR (The only reliable ones left, I swear). Give those two some love, by the way, without their hard work DoE 1.09 wouldn't be half as epic as it is.assassingao wrote:New icons are uber awesome, though. But I'm a bit sad for Kassar.
I'm not really worried about Dis really. In testing, I had so much fun that I cannot even begin to describe it in words. If he's even half that fun in an actual game, I'll probably be hoping to play him every game! I'll deal with balance stuff in stride, like I mentioned somewhere above. I want to focus on making the version stable and working before anything else, so unless someone's winning games alone, try to avoid minor stuff here. (Make a thread where I linked above!)dmaargke wrote:I really don't agree with the Dis comment. Yes he's weak but the channel lets him sit there and keep pumping out copies of himself. I had a wave of about 25 minions rushing over their base. Plus against Geno if they have the swarm on they get overrun instantly.
This was intentional, it's the type of damage that Tombreaver deals to himself. I did this so that you wouldn't be killing yourself by accident, which was pretty lame in the past. It also makes synergy between skills relatively cool -- But I guess I should tell the user that it deals physical damage to himself in the tooltip, huh? *Scribbles a note*Andriejj wrote:When both Caliga's activables are on, Tombreaver doesn't drain life. When you turn off Voidwalk, it drains again.
I had a feeling some people might miss the blood mage. The truth is that I do too, but I wanted to put this out there and see what the world thought. If we end up going back to the blood mage, AR and I are going to have to figure out how to make him the most awesome thing evar. (He did redo the original blood mage skin too, if I recall, I do still have it) We'll see, make a poll or something, I'd love to have all of your opinions on that channeled into one topic.ReDSeX wrote:Props on the new version. Tested it out and I came buckets. I just wish you hadn't changed Glasse's skin. Its a cool skin but its 2 animations and its moving face portrait is so bland when paired up with dark Arthas'. Aesthetically, I liked the old blood mage model more.
He was never supposed to come to the public light -- It's unfortunate that with the beta leak that he did. He will never, ever be joining DoE. I suppose I've considered him for a spotlight in AotZ 3.00 or something, but we'd need a total remodel among other things. AotZ is either going to be insanely customized with ridiculous models or I'm not going to release it, so we'll see. :pBregan wrote:sooo, no more jager?

Nah, he's the voidwalker of adaptation. I figured out what happened to his story, apparently I typed it and the WE crashed because someone asked me to open a protected map like an idiot, so it never got saved. It was epic too, that's why I was surprised that it wasn't in the game. I'll have to retype it, LE SIGH!Crevax wrote:I thought Jhita was like a minor elemental or something like that.

.This happened after Jhita was killed, and wearing the Last Rites item. He blew up as the item wanted him to, his revival counter started, but at the end of it, it just stayed there displaying zeros and the hero never revived.Evernite. wrote:-When awaiting the hero's revival (Jhita, in my case), it just didn't revive after the counter expired.

After looking at the screenshot I took, the ward was merely hit by a trebuchet and I didn't see it, as it was covered by an enemy creep in a weird way. Sorry for that. Slap me.Evernite. wrote:-As I laid a Black Hole Sun on the ground while playing Tristan, creeps kept on attacking me even though the ward was still there and alive.

Here I did cast Blood Mana while the ultimate was still active, and the bolts just vanished, although damage and mute were applied anyway.Evernite. wrote:-Parhelios's ultimate once didn't show any lightning bolts even though the damage and mute was still applied; this happened once as well.
