Return of the Dragon is a great campaign!Graf_Of_Darkness : i fixed bugs and get 4 and other levels : 1- open the editor 2- click the 'custom campaigns' tab 3- Open the RotD campaign 4- find the level after the one where you choose your dragon 5- right click, and select edit map. 6- save the map, it comes up with an error. If it doesnt fix this on its own, search through the triggers and disable the ones that say there is a problem. 7- save the map again. For getting other levels do that and be fun!
To be honest I didn't like this campaign at all. It was nicely made but I really think it is boring. The spells are boring, the quests are non-original (really: choose a side and battle for them is not so very original, especially not when you have to do it 5325 times) and the walking around and killing units is not very fun, it is just lacking time since some units are so ultra-strong so the problem is not to kill them but to attack and retire, wait for hit points, mana and cooldown to restore a little so you can attack again. Some things are only annoying, like for example the teleporters at level 3. Íf you stepped on the wrong circle you got teleported to a place very far away and have to go back. Also it was majorly bugged and english errors.
For all who wrote in this thread earlier: I found out rather fast what was wrong with the goblin spell: When you save the map and load it again, the level increases one level. When the level is higher than 3 (which is max), the spell won't work at all. I also got that problem with that I couldn't finish level 3 but since I have read rotd.wc3sear.ch I know the bugs will be fixed.
The Maps link doesn't exist anymore, this was the one site where we could get it, either someone else post it, or else we're screwed, i personaly searched all possible references for this on google and Ask.com, either Darky's comp is having problems, or something else is up
i kno this doesnt fit in here...but how the F do i import models....i can import skins and icons....but every time i try to import a MODEL it say "could not load dot dotdot.." HELP!
I fixed the chapter 3 part myself. (Delete a trigger in map 4, can't remember which one) but know I am having the same problem and I can't get past "Goblin in a Maze" map 5 and yes I did try fixing it myself, but its a different but similiar problem this time.
Hi, I havea problem. Wheb I try to download that campaign, it appears that the page of the download is suspended . Is it normal or is it a bug? I hope its normal cuz I just finish spiderqueen campaignand it was just perfect (except some bugs on two maps with the broodlings) and I realy would like to play the second campaign. In all case thx for spiderqueen campaign
I Like you put some work into it to bad it stills not a great as much as you talk about it.
first of all there two types of campiagnes that are for solo players one that are made to branch off the orginal WC3 story and ones that are complete seprate. the way i see this its a branch off the WC3 story well you screwed up big there. First of all there a BIG diffrence between a Spider and a Nuberian and they are not realated in anyway minus they both called spider speices. Nubrians didn't have a bunch of webbing they had structers like ziggernaughts the WC3 even has one in it. And you should of did some hardcore beta testing before you ever even thought of showing it to public. Otherwise the terrian was nice and the interface looked cool. But the story line lacked depth and the models where cheaply made (minus the dragon ones which looked great). And never call your stuff GOLD unless it truly is. well im done complaing and thats my opionion some one try to beat all that?
extremely great map...but i can't get to the next map after choosing the dragon...i tried and tried again and sometimes it gives me error and sometimes it just stopped and return to the main menu...i really want to go to the next map...can anyone help me please?
damn i have cable and im getten it fucken damn slow [code]err well no code for now lol lol [quote]I HAVE FUCKEN DAMN CBLE [url]www.runescape.com its the place to play an rpg!
I havent played this campaign yet but im gonna play it as soon as i get home. I kinda liked Spiderqueen but it got kinda boring after the first level with metamorphisis and his freaking out about "the demons in the cave" what was that about? there are demons everywhere in azeroth! The story was ok but i just think u realy screwed up on Metamorphesis with his voice and skillz. hes too overpowered... lol sorry for getting off topic there ill critic it in a little bit.
Oke, i dl'ed the campaign again, i played the 3e chaptere whole over again (the problem with the goblin now is solved but...) when i choose my dragon, and the camera goes in to the caves, its like the "end" of the campaign, it stops ...
And i dont want it to stop, its way to much fun for that ...
1. In chapter 3 (a dragon of choice) my goblim (kazzhaamm) cant use his Alchemie, cause then my inventorie is gone, and the spell cant be used any more...
2. That isnt that big a deal, but at the end of chapter 3, when you get to pick your dragon (wich is soooo cool) and the camera goes in the cave, my campaign ends, and i automaticly go to my WC3-menu ... :s Any help?
How do you edit those features in the map? I have tried opening it in the campaign editor, but it won't detect the file. My WC3 Editor doesn't do .w3n files for some reason....
nono...if you make this map over 1 year i would think that you have some time to test the bugs...as this is now this sux, but chaos spiders extremely cool!! and i think its really boring in start to slay 1000 enemies with 1 hero...if bugs would we fixed then this could be good....
salem if you are using a download program it may be the problem try downloading mozilla firefox it worked for me. firefox has a great download client built in the program.
Finally it will let me post. Anyway to advance past level 3 load the gampaign editor and edit each map so that the load game cache triggers are disabled - then place the units that you are supposed to start off with. That simple. Really. STOP MOCKING ME!!!
nice!!a bit large, of course... would u be able to cive a trigger installer like Creeprebellion installer to install this race to? would be nice cos' im working on a map and would like to implement as many races as possible.. ?? grafics r amazing, though
wow!!! Darky, you and your team have worked really hard to develop this and it was worth it! i dont know how you got the cinematic so good and the unit's sounds and the race layout was all too ... i cant think of a word to describe "better than the best thing ever invented"! But it is a bit hard and it took along while to download but apart from that, it is really good! I look forward to seeing more of your work
Have ANYONE get in 4 th maps If someone has, Tell me how! Because I can't get in the fourth map! I Download this second time and i hope that i get in the fourth map. Well, it could caused by cheating. But I be able to try it without cheats. And there is too much the comments! I get 20 minute to get write this comment Sorry my english
To be honest, I completely agree with Voi. A campaign needs more then lots of work to make it fun. ROtD is a great example of a campaign, but there are many things that can be done to improve it. I also understand that it must not have been easy for Darky to take so much time to make this. That being said, well done Darky.
I Loved a lot of the features in your campaign but it was buggy in a lot of places and had to redo levels due to crashes. In goblin maze the make potions skill acted up and deleted everything in the goblins inventory. Then when one of the characters died there was no game over and I was not able to beat the level.
I also found the maps detail to be great but the size of the maps made loading, and saving times unbearable. There was also a lot of lag in places.
Maybe It's just my PC: 1.33GHZ 256RAM 64MBVideo I assumed that my PC was average.
This campaign is already a legend in of its self. It is even better if you have played through the Spider Queen campaign. Dakry has truly made a gem for the WC3 community. The story is great, the triggering and deph of player options is incredible, cionimatics are top quality, recorded voices, involving storyline...more effort was put into each map more then some mappers put forth their entire carrers. For these reasons I am Awarding it the Director's Choice Award.
Despite the massive number of bugs, hopefully we will expect an updated versions someday, althoguh I find it unlikely we will see any more maps or campaigns from Darky, sio enjoy this to your maximum extent -VGsatomi
i was... SHOCKED by a few things, firstly how many times this map has been downloaded, then by the posts, then by the skill u have at WC3 editing, wow man, your my hero!!!
... something is really really wrong, i can't get past map3 what happens is once i get to pick one of my dragons i do, then it dosen't work after that, it exited and went back to the Return of the Dragons camoaign menu... with not another mission, i have treied a couple of times but it never works, at first i thought it was the end of the game but i now know it isn't, please help...
Ok first of all i would like to start by thanking Darky for a wonderful campaign which was greatly imporved from the spiderqueen which was also a good campaing. Now to you critics have u considered if those bugs which you mentioned are fixable. Also there are no bugs unless u have a crappy comp. Finaly I would like to see you try to make something better.
i have a problem when i have about 20% of it downloaded then my comp closes the download and when i try to open the file then i get an error.Can someone plz tell me what to do.And when i try to dl it agan then the dl wont open it shows The page cannot be displayed error.
well seems i am stuck, can't seem to defeat two trolls witch i need to defeat to make the goblin happy and to let my fly to the next island on the first map. One is a priest, and the other is a warrior.
The campaign is an excellent idea, but you need to improve some things. 1. First fix the insane number of bugs - these show that the work is rushed and makes it not look professional. 2. Fix all the extra UI and models - some models do not have the birth animation, and none of the spider buildings have attatchment points for fires. Also some tooltips are wrong. 3. Improve the story and make it more dynamic - the gameplay itself is boring, because there is not much purpose to it in many levels. 4. Make more dynamic enemies - it is annoying and boring, especially in level 2 with all the Spirit Towers. 3/5 until these are improved.
It's good, i've played only three main maps, but there was many bugs. For example: try to save game in that submap where is only goblin and load game ... you will have two goblins. Make music as music not as sounds. In second chapter, there were spider, undead and dragon bases. So ok, undead has attacked one time, after that i was waiting for next and there wasn't next. I've attacked undead base and there was MANY MANY zigurats :/
To be honest I didn't like this campaign at all. It was nicely made but I really think it is boring. The spells are boring, the quests are non-original (really: choose a side and battle for them is not so very original, especially not when you have to do it 5325 times) and the walking around and killing units is not very fun, it is just lacking time since some units are so ultra-strong so the problem is not to kill them but to attack and retire, wait for hit points, mana and cooldown to restore a little so you can attack again.

When the level is higher than 3 (which is max), the spell won't work at all. I also got that problem with that I couldn't finish level 3 but since I have read rotd.wc3sear.ch I know the bugs will be fixed.
I can't get onto level 4. Whenever I choose a dragon, it zooms down to thecave, and the quits the campaign and puts me at the single player screen. Anyone know how to fix this? I saved it when I was in the circle.
well i would be really happy if you would fix all the bugs. people have high expectations from you, being the creator of the site. fix the bugs, put it back out as rotd1.2 and there ya go.
i hahe some bugs to report. 1. when saved then load you hear the human music and the ROTD music. 2. i cant get to map 4 but that is all and i like your campaign very much
Great campaign, but sometimes it don't has history and it's badly, but realy badly, bugged 4.9/5 because of the litle misses of history and the bugges but good
First of all let me say that this was a great, extremely detailed campaign. Congratulations on a job well done. Having said that, I found two major programming bugs. 1. In map 3, the goblin kept losing his inventory, at least three times. I read the site, and had to avoid the problem by never using his potionmaking, and making up for it with the God mode cheat every now and again. 2. I started the next map after solving map 3, and it kept telling me that I didn't solve map 3. It gave me a different dragon than I chose, and made me rechoose all my hero abilities for everyone. I ended up having to solve map 3 a second time from scratch.
Other than that, the only thing that occurs to me is that mountains is spelled with a u and not an i in the first level. Anyway, 5/5 if you fix the bugs, 3/5 until you do.
Very good campaign! Good job...but...many many bugs.
Some of them i faced: -First many problems with saving!Serious problem in the map with the labyrinth!After waiting for 1-2 minutes a message "not enough space" appeared.In most of the submaps, everytime i try to save there where problems with the heroes(two kazzaaams,empty inventory...).
-Some problems with spells(weird but i haven't got any problem with kazzaaaaam's alchemy).The jet pack instead of 20,40 and 60sec use,it actually worked for only 20sec(even in the third level).The bug that kills kazzaaaam take place when you haven't more full and you land on inaccessible terain(trees...).
-About the last level...seriously bugged!I agree that if you have 6 of the ultimate dragons and the metamorphous you devastate all of the undead base!Also i couldn't get to the submap at the bottom-left corner of the map.In this level i used a very effective, but bugged,trick.i went with the dragons and metamorphous.I took control of the enemy hero(for 10sec) with metamorhous' ability and then ordered every to attack him(so enemy heroes were useless and weak),BUT after killing them there were no key on the floor!Finally after being desperate with only one key i tried the teleport ability, from the spell book i took in a previous map, and teleported all the dragons inside the wall(so the quests were useless) and killed the king!
As you can see (from other complaints too) you need to fix "some" bugs!
Oh i almost forgot...about the difficulty of the campaign:At first level-s it was a little bit difficult(i had to wait a long while to replenish life) but after having the dragons it was like a walk in the park!
Instead of them,i have to say,GOOD JOB!KEEP WALKING!
Hey does anyone know how to pass map 6 where you are the yellow welp and have to go into the gnoll encampment to steal 2 items while time is stoped? because whenever I do it even while time is stoped I get shoot backwards and cant get in...
Recently downloaded this campaign played the first mission, was pretty cool, however when i took off for flight after i deactivated the gate, it goes into cinematic and i end up landing on the edge of land and cant move anywhere.
i havnt had the time to download this campain because i have 56k modem but soon im getting dsl so ill download it then. i did however download the prolog map thing and watched the cinematic. it looks sweet so i will get this campagn. i will damnit!!cursed dial up...
Yeah, um i've been having some problems with this map. I recently got the beta version 1.17
I started really playing the campaign then, but now i'm stuck on map 3, which seems to have a bunch of bug problems. For one, when i saved on the minimap, and then reloaded, it gave me another goblin alchemist. Second, whenever, i get to the end of the map, and select a dragon, it just finishes, but i can't advance. It won't work no matter what. Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on?
So let me get this straight (cuz i just finished the whole thing and here's something i just couldnt help noticing): this is like the sequel to that spiderqueen campaign, where this spider goes on this sacred mission to become like the new big thing in the battle with the undead n stuff, but then just when shes about to become all legendary n stuff she gets trapped by ner'zul, and so meta goes on this mission to free his queen, right? Thats basicly how this RotD campaign starts. But then pretty much right away, the spiderqueen completely vanishes from the storyline (as does medvih basicly) and while meta started out to resque his queen, he ends up being the new nerub king going at ner'zul, but whatever happened to that spiderqueen?! He never rescues her! HE HAS COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT HER! .. that aint gonna be a romantic meeting when he finally stumbles upon her frozen body in the cellars of ner'zuls former castle after a couple of years. That aside; it should have been called return of the nerubs.. cuz even though they get brought in pretty late in the game, they have a much more emphasized role in the story than them dragons (with the "as it was written" legend kinda thing with metamorphus being some kind of prophesized liberator and stuff). My point is kinda that i found the storyline very inconsistent (in both respect to the former campaign and this one in itself), and found certain parts a little too ... overdone (like the whole prophecy thing when meeting them nerubs, which comes totally out of nowhere.. as does the nerub storyline itself actually). Also there are sum annoying bugs like when using that spellbook from lvl7 or something, u loose ur whole inventory, ur pet arachnid dissapears in lvl9, and when mindcontrolling one of the minions of nerzul in lvl10, they wont drop those keys on death (not to mention to make sure u dont leave any of those when using the detonator, since it blows up every item not being carried!! why not made those bombs goblin mine stile items to be just dropped n stuff.. oh well)
Other than that: it was fun! Nice maps (although some too big and in need of some extra detail), nice to have a new tech tree.. little late though.. that too could be done a little earlier. Most of the spells where fun (some of them totally useless ), and though i just poored a lot of complaint-like critisism in this comment, thumbs up anyway
I would definitly be playing any sequal to this (although I hope the storyline of both campaign 1 and 2 will then be brought into more consistency, cuz the building of storyline is very important to keep flow in the game, which i think is the one big flaw)
edit: oh yeah, and; damn nice music! Im kinda sick n tired of the standard wc3 tunes, so it really added some athmosphere to hear some original stuff! Excellent move there (surely counters the rather dissapointing voice-acting o_O).
No, Darky28 is the new siteowner, Darky27 changed his account to Darky28 and gave it to the new owner since it's the siteowner acc and he doesn't have time to visit it often enough anyway because he's testing an EA strategy game!
Wrong answer! Darky28 is darky27. 2 years ago, he was darky26. He's WC3 campaings' site admin (or webmaster if you prefer) so he changes his username each year because he ages. this year he's 28 years old. Darky is his username. the numbers that follow after are showing (or should i say IS COMPLETELY) his age.
Cool campaigne lots o customs. One question was I saposed to have Two of the Morphy dudes or was that a glitch Ill give it 4/5.
It's a glitch.
i just finish the campaign good ending but arachna and the unseen is dead??? and it have some spell don't work like daydream sleep allies units but not undead
Dead can't sleep because the're DEAD (or UNDEAD if you prefer). It makes sense does it not? UNDEAD don't need to feed, go to toilet, sleep and are eternal (well, almost).
What the CR*P is this!? The many grammars and spelling are wrong. Darky28 you mentioned last last month that this campaign will be reviewed or something in a german game magazine. Well, this is a BIG SHAME because of wrong grammars and spellings.
Ok..sorry for my negative comment. By the way, Good game as usual and as expected.
hey darky, can i use ur custom camaign loading screen?? i thinks it's so cool and my custom campaign has somethin like that on ur custom campagin screen so if u dont mind ill use it thx darky^^~~~~
This campaign was great, there were only afew bugs for me, the campaign is really cool.
The bugs: 1- When I used Kazzhaam's Alchemy in map 3, All my inventory got empty, I lost all my items. It was good thing that The force gem was with metamorphus. 2-Whenever I used Jetpack, metamorphus burrows, and vice versa. 3-In map 5, in the labyrinth. It crashed whenever I saved. I finish the labyrinth, and whenever I saved after that, it took about 5 minutes to get saved. This was only in map 5. 4-In map 6, when you're teleported to lordaeron and you have to protect the gnolls, the trolls never attacked me. THey just stood at their base. I had to finish them off there. 5- Sometimes, when I restart a map, my dragon whelp is changed to Yzelda.
Suggestions: - The text and convesations should be better, need alot of grammer and spelling fixes. - I didn't like the quest descriptions at all, it only tells you what to do with little info. - The melee maps should be more challenging. The last map was considered one of the easiest maps to me. - In the last mission, I created a whole army of green dragons, and managed to destroy the WHOLE undead base with them without even losing a single dragon. - Ner'Zhul was very easy, I killed him with an army of green dragons without even losing a single unit. He's the Undead lord, he should be extreamly challenging.
Well, that's all I can say, looking forward to part III of Nature's call. Good job Darky.
wow phoenix, that pretty much nails everything i was thinkin of. i was expectin you know, quality fun wit this campaign that took over a year to make. you'd think a campaign wit all this hype would be beta tested.
I'm having major trouble with some bugs. In map 4, where you first get to use your new dragon ally, I am stuck. I am supposed to build a Dragon Roost, yet I only start out with 90 lumber, making it impossible to build a Dragon Roost, since a Dragon Roost costs over 200 lumber. And I can't collect lumber without any buildings.... I spent 2 hours doing everything I could on the map, and there was no lumber items to be found. I then cheated to give myself lumber, and guess what??? You can't return lumber to the Dragon Roost! And the Dragon Roost is the only building that the dragon workers can make! So it's literally impossible to collect lumber, making mission 4 impossible to complete.
I also had some more bugs.... I'm playing the game on hard, have the latest version of The Frozen Throne installed, and I am using whatever version you get from downloading the link at the top of this page.
-The grammar and spelling issues are really annoying. There's no excuse for sloppy grammar and spelling in a campaign like this.
-Sometimes when I use Khaaazzzhhaam's alchemy ability, he loses all his items. I lost all my items in mission 3 while I had a teleport crystal in my inventory, and I had accidentally saved after that. So I had to restart the entire mission, which was a huge pain in the ass, since these missions are long.
-In the goblin hole submap on mission 3, I saved and then loaded, only to find... TWO KHAAAZHAAAMS! They both had identical items, too. So... I made the best of the situation and got myself a copy of my ring of regeneration.
-Sometimes when Khaaaazzzhhhaam is in his jetpack, he will just die all of the sudden. WTF?
-In the end of mission 3 when you are selecting which dragon you want, there is an error. The fire dragon says he has the Holy Light ability, which he does NOT. I chose the fire dragon because I wanted the holy light ability, and it turns out that he doesn't even have it. And is it just me, or do all the abilities of the 5 dragons suck except for the stone dragon?
-I don't know if this is a glitch, but for some reason my dragon broodling hero can't seem to Dragon Devour any unit that's over level 1. AND he doesn't digest units at 10 hitpoints per second, as the tooltip display says. Metamorphus digests like 5 times as fast as the dragon broodling.
-Not really a glitch, but in map 3, it took me FOREVER to figure out what to do with the teleport crystals. You really need to make it more obvious as to what you're supposed to do with them.
And how do I know what version I have? I just downloaded the file at the top of this page. Is the one I downloaded a buggy version?
Am I the only one that uses this tactic? I always use Khaaazhaaam's goblin land mines near where a group of enemies gather. I then attack the enemies, run away until they stop chasing me, and when the enemies return to their "camp", they run over the mine. I keep doing this over and over until I kill the enemies. This tactic is really the only way I was able to get past some parts of mission 3.. but then again, I am playing on hard. But damn, don't reduce the difficulty on hard, because I like it to be this challenging! The bonus orc campaign for the Frozen Throne, even on Hard, was so easy that it took all the fun out of it....
Anyways, this campaign would be so incredibly sweet if it weren't for the bugs and grammar/spelling errors.
Did anyone else notice that Map 4 (A Dragon of Choice) has two nearly identical quests? The furbolgs can't get through the path to their home so you have to kill X Kobalds. Then a few minutes later, the thunderlizards are being hunted, so you have to kill X hunters.
No, Darky28 is the new siteowner, Darky27 changed his account to Darky28 and gave it to the new owner since it's the siteowner acc and he doesn't have time to visit it often enough anyway because he's testing an EA strategy game!
Btw:
HAHA! This is sooooooooo cool! If you are playing this campaign on version 1.14 or 1.15 you didn't see a signle bug! As, if you are playing on 1.15 my Tilt Rating is changed from 385/500 to 468/500!!!! It's so cool on 1.15... apart from the voices... JesseCox should train or Darky28 should find another voiceactor, such as the one he had before JesseCox! Those voices were good!!
That's shit, there are very many bugs in any version of WC3 you play! For example in the fourth campaign I used Alchemy and my inventory got cleared but I couldn't choose a potion and also couldn't use Alchemy again, that's shit when you lose your whole inventory and the Alchemy skill! I had some pretty worthful items in the bag!
It was not created by Darky28! It was created by Darky27! I will not allow this injustice!!11one1 YOU MAP STEALER!!!1 (btw it looks good, too bad I dont like campaigns ): )
While I highly doubt that Darky will read this, here are my comments:
Art: I was sorely disappointed with the art in this campaign. There were a few models and effects that really shined, but all in all, most of the models were so simple or similar to existing models that they were an eyesore to behold. There was too much conformity among the buildable units and buildings, for example. Then, however, there are inconsistency issues galore. Why does the lumber mill have that sparkly build animation, where none of the other buildings do? The only aspect of the art I really liked were the icons, which were, in almost every case, beautifully made. Many of the item models were quite nice, too.
Sound: The music for this campaign was great. It was fun to listen to and fit well with the campaign and Warcraft in general. The voice acting, however, was pretty bad. It was hard to bear hearing Metamorphus' drawn out, scratchy drawl endlessly repeating that he doesn't understand, or the ridiculous voice granted to the goblins. All of the little quest giving voices were pretty bad, too. They sounded as if they were all done by one person who only bothered to change the inflection of his voice a bit, without developing the dialect at all.
Spells: A few of these were pretty cool. However, a good half of them were buggy and boring, their most interesting aspects the icons you gave them. Along with that, you spent great effort on the hero spells, but the unit spells were left sadly neglected. The terrible bugs with various spells made this an infuriating campaign to complete.
Gameplay: This was pretty bad, too. Your love for long games sent you all the wrong ways. Rather than increasing content, you mostly filled up the time with endless corridors of mundane enemy killing with your heroes. Map 3, for instance, was overall very boring. There were a few good aspects, but largely it was just painstakingly working your way through the map, carefully using your heroes so you don't die. Then you take advantage of your only respite, Alchemy, and you blow one of your heroes up and have to start again.
I had been looking forward to the few missions where you actually got to use your units, but this was a sad disappointment as well. The units were shoddily done, had only two redeeming abilities (the cool Hide thing and Web Ward), and didn't complement each other at all. There was little reason to buy all of the buildings other than for quest requirements. There were no casters or flying units or tier II/III units. The races means of building units were cool, but little else was.
The few campaign missions that were not boring corridor-sweeping or those that forced you to command a slipshod race were very nice. The maze, for instance, was cool, as were many other side quests. Those are the sorts of things that should have been used more.
Terrain and Maps: I have mixed feelings about these. The terrain was truly beautiful most of the time. Clearly a great deal of thought was generally put into it and many little character-adding things were hidden for keen observers. However, the maps were needlessly huge and did not direct the player as they should. Monstrous tracts of open land are not interesting nor fun to play in. Also, the copious amounts of destructable rocks in your path got very annoying after a while. Also, there was no point in the game where you truly had enough trees to keep a base running smoothly. (This was partly my fault, as I gave the tree items to the Scorpion King in map 9 and he died, forcing me to lose the items. Ahem...)
Story: The story seemed frightfully simple and straightforward. There were no side plots at all, simply Metamorphus leaving, collecting allies, and returning to kill a bunch of undead. Along the way, the heroes are sidetracked and forced into all sorts of laborious, mundane situations where they must *surprise surprise* kill hundreds of creeps as they go through yet another cave!
Overall: Overall, I was not impressed with this campaign at all. I forced through it, hoping that when the Nerubians arrived there would be some fun to be had, but I was unfortunately mistaken. The occasional spell or feature delighted me, but it seems like a great deal of time was spent on complex, buggy systems that should have been spent fleshing out the maps and spider/nerubian/dragon race to make them more enjoyable. No offense intended to you or anyone who made this campaign; much of your work is applaudable. I'm just saying you can do much, much better.
(Oh, and next time, hire a proofreader for all of your dialogues and tooltips. I would be happy to do it for you. I do understand that English might not be your forte, but it really makes the mod seem very poorly made to have so many errors)
Hey darky thx for the campaign i'm happy to didin't noticed this was a cool campaign cause i was new at the site so i didn't played on this long comments list but with no block i can see the triggers and learn more about them really thx
HAHA! This is sooooooooo cool! If you are playing this campaign on version 1.14 or 1.15 you didn't see a signle bug! As, if you are playing on 1.15 my Tilt Rating is changed from 385/500 to 468/500!!!! It's so cool on 1.15... apart from the voices... JesseCox should train or Darky28 should find another voiceactor, such as the one he had before JesseCox! Those voices were good!!
If ANYONE is having truble post it on the ROTD forums. you will almost certenly have ansures in a day. if you post them here, everyone who has already beaten it like me will almost never see your problems and cannot help you.
I heard the bugs are caused by the 1.16 patch and that the campaign works very good with the 1.15 patch, so it's maybe not their fault that their are so many bugs...maybe...
@CDSNUTS: but if you skip a map you loose the items you had since then, I tried it @ map 2 where I stuck because the next map wasn't loaded after I completed all quests
_________________________________________ WOW ABOUT 10.300 TIMES DOWNLOADED!!!!! ^^ """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
I was playing chapter 3 and i got pissed off because the teleporter wasnt working when i placed the gem so i got the scorpion king and gave the gem to him than i made him set the gem down and xxx was displayed so i typed it and i found out it skips the level when you cant beat it due to a bug. Same with level 6 i couldnt get the item so i typed xxx and it skiped it. Darky28 u should have just waited longer and fix all these bugs that crash the computer and $H!T before releasing it. The capaign though is ok not what i expected but it was ok.
There is a big bug in the first chapter When I'm going in to the cave to get to another Metamorphus get's invisiable and he stays in the cave! I can get him away but I can't continue with the game!! And I can't use "allyourbasearebelongtous" so I can continue! Nothing dude! Help!
"click on an egg to get further information" ...so I click on an egg and of course an error appears and warcraft gets closed...erm, yeah...and where's the information?
you really are an idiot your campaing are a shit you take more than 1 year and still is a shit and the 5 map frozen my computer when i win after kill the guardian
sorry about the double post, but, meh, after this, i dont plan ever to reply again, unless i see something really crappy of good to comment on. darky, the only reason i see for downloasing this map is for all the included models i can get at because itss unprotected. darky, u can get 1 to a 5 if u just fix the glitches! Darky, this forum is full of people who tell you about these glitches, and u must fix them to regain your...godliness.
Darky, this is full of bugs. map 3 doesnt take 8 hours, it takes 20minutes to an hour, and there are bugs that make it so some people who are more straight minded cant do it. when a crystal is picked up, it has a small grey pointer on one of the purple circles, but u must put it on another for it to work right. and in map 9 or so, where u have to get the 4 keys, the kelthuzad pink lich doesnt drop a key sometimes, screwing u over. also, in map about... 5, in a cave with khazam and meta, the maze thing really lags up my comp and such, my problem really, but its because of all the doodads. in addition, i like to use chaos spiders to explore areas i cant normally get to, and i made the force bridge appear before i even got through the maze, making it almost imposwsible to complete the level because the bridge, when i accidently created with my chaos spiders, blocks the way. i managed to complete the level when i bought the boat with my chaos spiders, then sailed it over to khazaam. also, in level 7, the undead units get stuck along the way to the nerub city, making it SOOO very laggy. also, when the scorpion king does, then gets ressurected, he loses all his items, INCLUDING WHAT MAY BE IMPORTANT ITEMs, such as keys. the items should drop on death. also, many of the nerub buildings can be build anywhere, including on top of each other. same with the brief appearance of the goblin buildings also, when khazzaam uses his alchemy ability, it does a random level of alchemy, and sometimes NO ITEMS COME BACK TO KHAZZAM, making u unable to complete a quest because he might be hilding an important item when using the ability. also, if u open the alchemy menu, given that it works right, and then the level ends, he loses all his items permenantly the next level, same with nagaels spellbook with the green dragon. also, many of the units for the nerubs say what abilities they have, but dont, such as the nerub seer having the "mana burn" ability. also, khazaams ult should be fixed. it probably should simply be a modified war stomp without stun and with explosive models attached. also, the jetpack ability does not improve with level, same with the alchemy abilityt. the daydream ability says its a flame breath, but its nothing of the kind. and u can only have tyhe mindworm on that one level that u get it, which makes it useless because u dont really use units, only those bombs to blow uyp that base, and flyers to kill harpies. if by any chance somebody read ALL of this, please, darky, u can do so much better. u have all the hard stuff down pat, but the easy stuff my 10 year old sister plays with u messed up royally. i give it a 1 out of 5. 1/5. also, metamorphosis starts talking like pit lord on level 7 every so often. it was a great idea Darky, but u messed it up... this has been my exceptonally long rant. in no way does my opinion about darky change, i just dont think he tested his maps b4 realease AT ALL! darky, u probably didnt read this, or any of it, but please, take another month and fix these issues.
the 3 map is a shit cant win and i put the 1 crystal in the purple circle and dont work and how can go to the island of north-west only see a green ciercle
Darky, you said level 3 and eight take hours....I was looking forward to eight because I like long games, however I beat it in about 20 minutes....sad. Also, the sword was too easy to get...I abrought it back to the circle by the time the undead started attacking.Your game was way too easy to beat. The only levels that took any time to beat at all where 3,4, and 10.
Gameplay - 5/10 Bugs out the ass. Some of them make it impossible to play. I nearly gave up on the campaign after I got my THIRTEENTH fatal error.
Graphics - 9/10 The chaos spiders and dragon whelps are beautiful, not to mention some of the custom doodads, which were really cool. The toxic and ice spider skins could use some work, because they look really blurry to me. The custom buttons are great, too.
Spells - 3/10 Low rating because of the incredible instability of some of the spells, specifically Time Stop and Alchemy. They were original, but frightening to use because it might either crash the game or delete your inventory. Not worth the work.
Sound - 5/10 The music was great and it really fit the mood. That was probably my favorite part of the whole campaign. However, the voices in this thing are HORRIBLE. I found myself skipping every cinematic because I couldn't stand hearing Metamorphus and Kazham drone at eachother. If you could offer a voice-less version of the campaign, I'd rate the sound a 10.
Writing - 1/10 I'm aware that Darky does not live in a dominantly English speaking country and I don't expect his grammar to be perfect. But the least he could do is use capital letters and periods. Things like "ok lets go" are just shameful. It tells me that this campaign was rushed and that this section of the campaign wasn't given much consideration because the awful voices are supposed to make up for it. Incredibly unprofessional.
Story - 3/10 The storyline of RotD and Spiderqueen is boring and mundane. Fortunately, this didn't stop them from being somewhat fun to play. There's no depth to the story at all. It's never explained why Medivh decided to bless the Spiderqueen, why Ner'Zhul captured her, or why all the dragon eggs were sitting randomly in the middle of a cave. There doesn't seem to be a 'Return of the Dragons' to speak of.
Terrain - 8/10 The terrain is absolutely inspired at some parts, but becuase the maps are so horribly and unnecessarily huge a lot of terrain is just filler. There are plenty of maps in this campaign where 40% of the terrain is just filler that could be deleted. Especially since there's no payoff for exploring the far-off corners of the map. There are hardly any unique or even valuable treasures. On top of that, there's no directlion to the terrain; there's nothing to keep me from simply morphing Metamorphus and flying over an important part of the map, and then spend an hour looking for some quest I missed so I can move on. Also, in the last map there's a submap opening in the bottom left corner that doesn't go anywhere, which I assume Darky forgot to trigger because there is no tenth submap and the ninth one is just a blotch of snow ground.
Puzzles - 3/10 I was very disappointed by the puzzles. Especially the labrynth. I walked out of that thing feeling cheated. The only thing hard about the labrynth was when I accidentally killed myself with one of those ridiculously buggy Alchemy potions. I mean, the path is MARKED with enemies and crystals ON TOP of having a map. Like I mentioned in the terrain section, there are no rewards for going off the beaten path. No extra treasures, not even a friggin' enemy to fight. Or even a trap. Or even a little sign that says "Haha, you suck." Even that would have been more rewarding than finding a huge blurry rock that says "path blocked."
Difficulty - I'm not sure what to rate this one. Bugs notwithstanding, the campaign was ridiculously easy. The only thing that made me want to give up was the fact that my inventory got deleted TWICE by Alchemy and by the silly magic book thing. And I had to give up several times because on the map where you have to fly from Kalmidor to Northrend I got stuck on the Kalimdor side becasue a friggin' SNOWY OWL got stuck in the vortex instead of my dragon. So it got transported to Lordaeron instead of me. And I couldn't move my camera back to get stuck in the vortex. So I had to start over. Again. Not to mention that most of the maps are so ridiculously big that three times I got halfway through after half an hour of playing the map with the dragon egg cave and killed myself with one of those defective potions. And I had to start over. Again. And play for another hour to get back to nearly the same point only to get myself killed by a bug or another potion.
Replayability - 5/10 Just because of the five choices of dragons. Otherwise I would never touch this thing again.
Overall - 4/10 Wow. I was expecting a lot more from this. This campaign was so sorely disappointing I think I got cancer. This campaign was visually impressive, but totally lacking in substance, originality or very many other meritable qualities. Is it worth the download? Yes, but only if you want to see the dragons.
also ich hab mir die map r5utergeladen und wollte sie dann in so ein order kopieren ging aber nich da steht dann immer fehler beim lesen was soll ich jetzt tuhn?
there are many bugs... camera and unit and cinematic bugs ______________________________ the goblings alchemy skill bugged once (couldnt mix the potions and lost all the items it had)
the goblings jetback... when it dropped from the sky to a unwalkable terrain... died... ¨ ______________________________ The Scorpion King automatically burrows, ok but a wizard polymorphed it at the same time it burrowed and it turned to sheep while underground and when turned back, coulnt dig up ______________________________ The Cinematics voices come too late or to early... ______________________________ The Maps are made with skill but theyr a little confusing... ______________________________ you sometimes get information that you forget and you have no way to re see it... (the quest informations dont have enough information) ______________________________ i dont know if some of the triggers are made like that but it seems as there were some trigger bugs. ______________________________ some of the traps in the game are just too annoying, like the teleports that leads your hero to some golems or something like that and you have forgot to save... |___________________________| |but the campaing is still good 4/5|
Um how do u get out of the Catacombs in submission 1? I beat the stupid sea monster huge dude, but all the doors are invulnerable so i can't break em and get out. I don't no if it has anything to do with the ghostly key either, but it teleported me to meat man before i could pick up the key
As usual i'll give a rating on the campaigns which i play through! This one... isn't what i had expected! Acually, apart from the voices, the last beta were better!!
Story: (7/10) The story is easy to understand and is long and good! However, there are some messes with the Warcraft lore and some of the charaters acts really stupid in some situations!
Gameplay: (2/10) OWW WOW! I cannot believe that this bunch of bugs can all be in ONE CAMPAIGN! These numbers are numerous and appear when you doesn't await them! They are such as bugs with inventory, interface and many other irredating points!
Length: (9/10) The maps are BIG and FUN! But... the campaign lasts about 2-3 days on the Hard difficulty (what i played on).
Terrain: (10/10) YAY! Nice work buddys! The terrains are so interactive and realistic, so that it has never seen before on the Warcraft 3 egnige! Truly awesome work! Looks realistic but isn't crowded!
Spell/Ability: (4/10) ALOT of the bugs are located here! Almost every single ability has a bug with it... that's very sad, for they are all good ideas!
Models/Effects/Icons: (9/10) That's an awesome point of the campaign! Almost every item has it's own model, making everything looks much more realistic. I think there were a few which were missing a model, and the Brood Spiders (or whatever they are called) are a missile model! That looks... really bad!
Music: (6/10) Good music, but too short... at the prelogue map is played normal human music, and it cannot be activated by using ctrl+m.
Sounds: (9/10) JesseCox did an OK work there, many of the sounds are good. But there are also many BAD voices with the deal! Such as Metamorphus, and the goblin you meet on northrend which offers you transport! The Furbolgs in the cave looks like civilians of something! The interface voices aren't replaced!
Overall Matemathic: (56/80) I had expected much more from this campaign! But it doesn't end here, some points are more worth than others... but this campaign keeps about that point due to the bugs!
Overall Tilt: (385/500) This is... bad, equal to all the awaiting fans! They deserve more than this, Darky... This rating is due to the severe bugs found in this campaign! And when i say severe, i mean COMPLETELY GAMEPLAY SPOILING! They utterly destroyes all fun in the campaign! However, if you are lucky and runs about these bugs this can be fun!
Download time equal to rating: 56k: Dont download it... how sad it might sound, this is not worth spending all those money on! Go buy gamestar or get a CD from your friend with it burnt on! 128k: Still not worth downloading! The amount of fun equal to the 2 hours of downloading, isn't what i called good spent time! 256k: You should download this! 512k: 30mins is defenately worth this campaign! There is nothing to discuss about that! 1024k: Download! NOW! 2048k: Time to download, really, you should! 4096k: DOWNLOAD!! DOWNLOAD!! DOWNLOAD!!!! [color=red]DOOOWNLOAAAD!!!!!![color]
Note to the puplic: This campaign isn't what we thought it was! It is... bugged. And all those bugs can drive you to insanity!
Note to the Authors: Beta-testers are your friends! Fix bugs and take note of what they say! Do a better work next time dude! Also, to JesseCox, those sounds are nice... but i really hope you still train alot!
First I want to say I downloaded it yesterday when I came back from holidays! Grr, there are some stupid parts, I had to play the first campaign around 5 times because of a bug in the submap which just made it unplayable and in the mainmap the ogres are nearly unkillable! Second map worked well but was a bit to easy. Then I was in map 3 and I lost because of the cinematic, I fighted the last creeps before the thing to activate the bridge and stepped by misstake into it before I killed all and while the cinematic my Metamorphus just died to the creeps!
The campaign is nice, maybe even better than blizzard's, but it is full of bugs, for eksampel the Toxic spider has the flare ability: Launches a Dwarven flare above a target point, which reveals.....: Dwarven?¿?¿?¿?¿
Er.....I got the vorpal blade, but I screwed up, so I went to a saved game and went to get the vorpal blade again. When I got to the sub map, it was the way I left it in the other game....with the blade gone and the item I left there.(Which was still in my inventory in my current game) WTF!?!? You have been working on this for a year and it has numerous bugs!!! Pathetic! Not to mention you put it out a month early...should you not have been correctling this bugs?!?!? Oh yes, and you seriously need to learn how to use beta testers. If you had used some, there wouldnt be this many bugs!!!
Eh....level 7 should have been harder to beat...I mean..I didnt lose ANY units while defending the base.....thats pretty sad. Of course I did have that ancient hydra I took control of...which is somewhat rigged because of its regeneration rate.
A couple choke points in the campaign caused much frustration:
In the labyrinth, the camera is REALLY bad, as there are many times when I am unable to even see my hero, and it causes my comp to lag considerbly bad. Also, there are areas that dont have pathing blockers, so you can actually avoid the labrynth.
The goblin's ultimate can destroy indestructable doodads.
I was unable to find out how to buy invis potions in the 4th map.
And there are many balancing and tool tip problems with both the spider and dragon races.
4/5, for the amount of time spent on this campaign, it should be bugless (or minimal buggage). Also, the campaign has frozen 4 times on my computer for no apperent reason. VERY frustrating when it freezes when I'm about the finish the map (this happened TWICE, once when I was selecting dragon egg, and once when I was about to get out of map 5, and once when I almost had all the bombs set in map 4). Also, the repel stone is very buggy, I seem to get my heros stuck whenever I use it in cramped areas.
Incorrect grammar is by far a turn off. Incorrect triggering and cinematics are another as well. I can give compliments on most of the acting, but some was questionable. Bugs. Lots of bugs for something highly anticipated. Funny how the newcomers to the community praise the projects that are bugged or truly just plain horrible (in other words who in the world would enjoy RoK?) and although this is not as bad as many others.. It is still questionable in terms of what was expected. Quantity (custom loading screens, icoons, vocals, etc.) over quality (bugless, correct grammar, etc.) is not something to strive for.
For the idiots stuck on level 3 at the teleporter: Put the crystal you already have on one of the little purple circles. A circle next to it will turn green. Go on this and you will be teleported to another area containing a crystal that you must find. You will need to repeat this process until a third circle is green and you enter it.
fdiddy, go to the Warcraft III folder(should be C:/Program Files/Warcraft III) then, make a folder called Campaigns(There should already be one because of the one that came with Warcraft III:Frozen Throne). Note, this won't work with Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos.
Firstly you have forgotten to remove starting map debug messages from the last maps.
Map 10 has a submap indicator but it dosn't work.
Map 8 ending cinematic played three times each starting a few seconds afterwards. So first message played then second, then first again while third started, and it all got mixed up. Luckily nothing crashed though.
I use lightning boost on couple of allied units in map 8 and 1 of the units kept the boost forever, even though strikes went lower than 0. - 234 it got to before allied unit died.
I finished campaign though. Its good models, icons, camera use and terrain, music really sets the mood and sounds brill. But storyline bit undeveloped, bad spellings on the earlier maps, spells still buggy, some general bugs on maps, you left debug messages up on some, Techtree of spider is really wierd. Toxic spiders never had abolish magic but tooltip said so. Map 10 is a bit daunting for players as they not used to all these wierd strange new units. And goblin stuff never before been played. No help info provided either like TIPS.
Therefore campaign i will not give blizzard quality mark. But it does get an 9/10. {blizzard quality = 20/10}
I can't seem to load the ROTD.w3n file. The readme says to drop it into my campaign folder...the problem is that there is no such folder in my WCIII directory. Could anyone shed some light on my sitch?
Well this is indeed the best campaign i have played in a long while however it is the buggiest one. I dont really want to pin it on you darky you had to make the entire thing but surely the beta testers would have found the bugs?
Map wher u get the mindworm. Had him for that map but not any others.
Map 6, my dragon went to right edge of the castle but the defense thing pushes him to edge of map and he gets stuck and can't move as its pushing him further than the map which is impossible.
Movie after tome stolen my dragon went off to attack some other guys so it was speaken but i could not see him. Hopefully he was invulnerable or if he died because i couldn't control him.
If dragon died in the map nothing happened. It didn't say fail.
Map 7, my metamorphasus got the ultimate, while he was using it lich frost novaed it and game crashed.
General comments. The map where metamorphuses and other guy go into the tunnel to get to northrend is not listed on the campaign screen. So i guess its a special sub map of map 5 cause i did the first part and had to do it all again.
Oh and lightning spell of yellow dragons also harms itself, so i died because its own spell killed it. I was high health before as well and was only fighting a whelp. That spell seems very unreliable too with the damage not happening at times, so that you see the bolt but units not being harmed.
Why is there 2 spider units that cost exatly the same. the crypt fiend and the one from the toxic pool. I always get the toxic pool one as it has the extra poision effect and more hitpoints for the same price.
I agree with anonymous, next objective is sometimes confusing to do as its not stated so you just walk randomly till something happens.
Dragon riders i can get crpyt crawlers to ride dragons but whats the second rider supposed to be. The flare from toxic spiders just places a spider in the middle of the map. But you have to cast it next to the unit. And when you cast it always go to middle and not where you casted.
Are u making a third.. course the ending is set to it... Well from a scale of 1-10 this map is 12 :].. Ownage Campaign.. Lets all hail Darky28 for making such good campaigns !!
Great Campaign, but a stradigy guide or walkthrough would be great. I'v seen that some people, me included, are stuck in the 3rd map at the teleporters and crystals. How to find the last two crystals? is the teleporters supposed to teleport me to places i'v already been? If anybody knows what to do: PLZ TELL ME!
Well This is a great campaign, still there are some minor bugs:
- In map 3, i could create level 2 and level 3 potions when i only had level 1 in alchemie skill. - If u kill the unit that the mindoworm is atempting to posses u end with 2 mindworms... - I accidentally droped the bombs in a circle of power ( droped all 5 bombs) and i couldnt get it back, since i saved the game after a drop them i had to do all that map again....dunno if its ur fault still my stupidity... Also i ran over ivisible potions and the goblin who said that would sell me more, didnt sell me more...( Map 4 ). - Also in Map 4, my hero dragon devoured a blue undead and since the lich heals all the undead constantly, that unit was there until a finished the map. - Maybe was my comp fault but when the owlbear was speaking in map 3, the sounds overide. - In map too after getting back formt he island, some units ended teleported in the top left corner ( one dired, one razormane and one murloc).
Anyways im in map 5 now, and the maze thing to me is lame, amybe if u coudl control the unit with keyboard would be easy...(and i forgot to disable norton so it started doing the virus scan and the lag was so much i tried to shif-tab but my comp got stuck, and to reeboot, not ur fault either im just saying).
Besides that, i liked the campaing and im getting back to finish map 5, by the way i also woudl like to say other stuff that arent really a bug, the goblin hero should have no splash or lil splash damage, he kills my own units, sometimes even meta also there should be more meele units, also u should get better dialogs, more like the story...( why a tauren shaman would help a spider that looks like a crypt fiend?) ( maybe a hero dragon presetation? )( so on...). Anyways i really liked this campaing, better than most TFT missions, good work Darky28 and good work all that worked in the proyect, this is the type of campaing that makes u want it to play again and ask for more..( i will when i finsih this ) This is greater than the ' The Spider Queen' (boring and not much story sense...).
This campaign owns. but next time please put more work in the story there are to much onrelated story questes and I'm a type of gamer who plays for the story.
Just to let you know, when you have level 3 mental domination you can perminantly control units by casting it on a unit, then when this unit has about 12 or 16 seconds left, you will be able to cast it again. If you cast it again on another unit, before the first unit's time is up the time from the 1st one will be eliminated and put onto the second unit, alowing you to keep the first unit.
Wow, with five THOUSAND TWO HUNDREAD FIFTY DOWNLOADS!!!!! not very many bug complaints i love the campaign btw i like it better than regualr wc3 campaign, (just needs a little polish- which is evident in all the posts)
I have a problem with map 3....i found one crystal but the other 2 i can't find them !!!!!! Plz someone that know where are they or how can i reach them plz tell me fast !!!
Eehhh.... When I came to map 8 I somehow, don't know how, my Metamorphus had lost all his items... INCLUDING BROOD EGGS! You other almost lose somethings when u switch map.. Btw, when you have lvl 2 alchemery you can make the level 3 items.. Just wanted you to know
One major bug i noticed is that there is a part in level 3 when you use alchemy level 3 your items disappear including your dimensional bag. So because of that error this game deserves only 999999999999999999999999999/10 instead of 100000000000000000000000000
I seem good at getting stuck; for some reason I am unable to win level 2. I have already destroyed the undead base, and I am still wondering why nothing is happening.
Pretty nice campaign. Although are you going to now update the spiderqueen to fix loads of bugs and make it better. It needs a new lease of life.
Only problem with ROTD is that seems to be many small bugs around. Spelling errors, spell effects look strange like khazammms jet pack as 2 goblins can be seen for split second making it look unprofessional. Healing salve on 1 map had an incorrect buff, saying it was empoisning when it was actually healing. Also metamorphuses non-dragon armor boost ability when clicked the tooltip says reflects 2000% damage.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I CANT PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...... I HAVE DL IT AND THAT WORKT!!!!!!!..... AND NOW WHEN ITS LODIANG THE MAP ITS SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
o yay it changed1 14 hours and 40min left! Shut the hell vegito up you wont be banned for saying it was boring so stop crying. I rather dislike stupid people. And spider queen deserves a better rating because they did a great job making it.
I am going to tell the truth and i am willing to be banned because of the truth my opinion TRUe opinion is really true because eveyone else is scared of you going to ban them if you say it sucks but i am willing to be banned to express my opinion ok here it is i have just recently played the spiderqueen and my opinion is it really was boring maybe not the last 2 levels but it wasx still boring but when i played this i must say it was very good and whats you peoples favorite unit mines the chaos spider it like a infernal spider its sooo cool when will you release all of the models and skins and last great job my rating
Natures Call- The Spiderqueen 2/5 boring natures call- return of the dragons 5/5 very exciting you have done a good job darky if i am to be banned for saying the spiderqueen is boring than so be it for i have expressed my feelings and i am willing to pay the price anyway good job darky28
Just one problem: i'm stuck in map 3, all the teleporters only teleport me to places i can already go to. I know where the two last gems are, but can't get there, anybody else got the same problem or know what to do ?
Maybe you should make it so you can use the keyboard to move around in first person, because with the mouse you tend to get stuck around walls. Hmm...I wonder if Cookie's Ancient Dragonlord model is in this.....because it was AWSOME!!!
Hmm...I havent been to the maze level yet....I stopped last night at level 3...I cant play until my parents get home because they put a pass on my account. It will not let me play WC3 on my little brother's account that I am using right now. But if Cehn is talking about the first person mode used with the unseen in THe Spider Queen...I agree that is VERY annoying and pisses me off more than anything.
The maze level is fucked. I was almost halfway to the end, and then I get teleported to some odd ass end of the maze. Then when I get to the same spot, THE GOBLIN WONT MOVE FORWARD! WTFWTFWTF? Also the camera system in the labyrinth is laggy.
In level 2 if you save then load, another metamorphus spawns. This can become VERY annoying because it interferes with some of his spells!!! Other than that however, it is the best map ever made in my opinion!
hmmmmm I figure dl no. 4000 ain't horrible......... but it just fucking figures that i get grounded for kicking the shit out of some1 this week of all weeks!!!!!!!! and in case ur wondeing y i'm on now... noone's home..... and wats up with u guys and ur three day dl i dl'ed in about 3 seconds or so
hmmmmm I figure dl no. 4000 ain't horrible......... but it just fucking figures that i get grounded for kicking the shit out of some1 this week of all weeks!!!!!!!! and in case ur wondeing y i'm on now... noone's home.....
Return of the Dragons is a good campaign, but I did not get far. Unfortunately, on level one after you reach the mountain, and Metamorphus turns into a dragon and then looses his power again, he chose a very bad spot for turning back into a spider: the water. Therefore I cannot move him or anything.
man nothing can descibe the awesomeness of this campaign. first map took me 2 1/2 hours to finish, im only on the second map and already thik its INCREDIBLE. i can see why that magazine review gave it 91 out of 100 , i totally agree with them, it IS better than TFT. man u should be telling blizzard how to make maps.
btw, ive found a few bugs but nothing serious. just minor things for example, when in dragon form metamorphis use devour, you switch back to spider form and the unit disappers. it doesnt keep devouring once you turn back either and it hasnt been killed, it just gets removed from the game. as i said the few ive found arent serious, just a little strange.
Im up to the third map and the ones before iy were un my opinion pretty bad, im sorry it was made well but i didnt enjoy the first two and the voices were a bit hard to hear in in the crypt too. On the otherhand it is really well done and i like all the work you and everyone else has put in it. GJ Im sure it will get better after the first few maps
I've been playing on and off for a little... I'm on Chapter 3, stuck on the crystals. I got the first one but... can't seem to get the next 2 *supresses urge to use iseedeadpeople*
"Wwaaaahh its popular...I must do everything not to conform with society because I'm a 'cool' rebel and must be belligerent towards everything everyone likes...waaahhhh!"
I have no doubt in my mind that this campaign was well worth the wait. Thank you ahead of time, Darky, for taking so much time out of your busy life to make this masterpiece. You are a great example to this community. -VGsatomi
there are going to be like 5000 people saying they dled it first. oh and do you have to play the spider queen to understand this? I havent played it for a long time.
Wow I just finish the Spider Queen campagin and I must say... 'Wow'. And whats even better is I only have to wait an hour for the next part. Don't you just love it when life comes together!
well... this is a very pleasant surprise for me because being as how I have a strictly American mind when you said the 28th I figured you were going to deliver it on the 28th. Instead I come online today, see this... and realize that it's going to be released at around 17:00 my time on the 27th. Yay! lol. Thank you Darky ahead of time for the great campaign, because I won't be online for a day or so cuz I'll be busy playing lol. I'm sure you and your crew did a great job.
hmm....SU (what? STFU=Shut the fu** up minus the f*** =Shut Up=SU) Ah man don't post, your comments WILL BE DELETED anyways so it's kinda pointless and...OMFG!!!! 1 Hour remaining!!!! WAHOOOOO!!! Sorry but all this is spam...hmmm....some good 'ol spam....delicious spam.....arghhhhh, you see it's Pointless Opposing Idiot Noobish Teasing Luring Enerving Stupid Spam
That's what pointless is This has been brought to you by a crazy idiot >_< ^_^
@ Antolone Well not me, but maybe the others. All i want is RotD. I don't care about being first to DL it though the first one will DL it faster but incomplete cause it takes time to upload a 100 mb file.

Lol...u think that darky would make this campaign only for germany? he is from Switzerland to..that has nothing to do with germany....except the languages is very similar but wtf
Why is Darky not making this campaign in german but I'm German too and I love the campaign more than a german campaign.I cant wait to play this campaign.I love dragons.
Chris (aka Darky) is german so in germany it will be released at the same time the day starts wich is midnight O'clock. And by the way, BloodElf53, do you live in canada?

i dont think that this is going to be better than blizzards campaigns...but if i could rate i would rate this map for 2/5.....nah kidding 5/5
wow.. a great deal of comments.... and (in the central USA) its still 7 hours til release.... good god people... go.. play some other game or go out side for the remaining 7 hours >.> <.< unlike some of you seem to have done for mounths before.... I give you credit, this looks impressive, I also hope this elusive "day of the Fish" turns out ok too. Also, in case you didn't, you should really check the DotF spel idea thred, its going on 6 pages.. and lots of good ideas are located there (and yes, people are STILL posting, even if its not being checked) Oh ho, how i love maps with voice acting.. this will prove entertaining while i wait for my friends to come back from their varius camps
DIS IS GONNA BE SO AWESOME DARKY U SHUD BE PROUD OF UR SELF I MEEN I CANT W8 CANT U JUS RELEASE IT NOW AHHHHHHHHHHHH DIS IS GONNA BEBOSSSSSSSSSSS[/quote]
Nice, nicer, RotD!!!! Cool is not the right word to describe this. I would like to say better than the usual campaigns from warcraft und the frozen throne. Hope that be so! Congratulation to Darky28 and Darky27.
You guys like cinematics?.. Well I really like those...http://cotn.wc3campaigns.com/ Download part 1-5 and get the story! Good Music too..think I will watch it agin...
hmmm, could you clear that donwload counter to 0 before you release it?
i really want to know how many downloads will it get when it's released, its been here so long allready that i think everybody whos been at wc3sear.ch will download it, 500?1000? downloads in 1 day? xD
Until then you can go play TToR(race.wc3campaigns.com). It's a great mod check it out! So until this campaign is released we'll have some fun at least. We can still have fun and wait patiently can we? and actually it's in 5 not 4 days. Well mostly only 4 days we can say.
It's obviously going to bew a good campaign for the fact that's been being worked on for more than a year now. What's with the last modified date and map uploaded date it says January 1970,and unless your a 40 year old guy who lives with his mom I doubt anyone who is playing this was born before that date.
.........IT IS DARKY! But he has changed his name after his year...look at his website only! IT is Darky that has linked to this site here so it must be him right? And Everybody can make a wrong once.. Here is the link too.... http://www.wc3sear.ch/rotd/
Can't you wait another 2 days? It would be so cool if it was released on my birthday. And i'm shure EVERYONE won't mind waiting a few days just for me!
read peoples comments, its done allready but will be released 28/7
____________________________________________________ The reson for this is, that the german Game magazine "GameStar" will publish RotD on their Magazine which reaches several hundredthousands of people. I can now only release RotD on my Webpage after the issue where RotD is on will be shipped (which is 28.7.04)

QUOTE- It was not created by Darky28! It was created by Darky27! I will not allow this injustice!!11one1 YOU MAP STEALER!!!1 (btw it looks good, too bad I dont like campaigns ): ) Man this person is dumb. Its the same person but changed name because he aged a year. Duh. Anyways I can't wait for the map. Im gonna remake the spider queen with some ROTD building models. For my own use.
I've finish the SpiderQueen (and it was excellent !!!!!) and I hope she will not die (i hope I havent finish 10 maps for a spider corpse in th follow !) THX, darky, for youre excellent campaign.
I think that the "times downloaded" means how many times people have had the bright idea to try to link directly to the download, but all you get is a redirect.
Very sad that we can only start downloading 28/07. I can't download it because I am movong to another home, and I won't have internet till September/October. Also, I have never heard of the magazine 'GameStar', and 'GameStar' is not for sale either in any shop in my Town.
3 things 1 what r the submaps? 2 why dose it say 4 people DLed it 3 man this is goign to be the sweetest s*** ever man u rock Darky27/28 (and rest of people that worked on it) PS will there be another? or is this the end?
Nature's Call - Return of the Dragons will be released at: Wednesday 28. July 2004
