The country is plagued by demons. The mysterious cult has created new demon portals in the King Leorics Halls of Agony. It is time to defeat the cult finally. And the fight against another evil lies before us. On the northern horizon in the direction of the World Stone crater gather dark clouds. A massive demonic invasion is announced...

Comment: Review:

Gameplay:

You've recreated the diablo level really well, the sequences, the quests, the events, ...
There's also a lot of movement, creatures jumping at you, with their own specialties.
All of the diablo 3 characters are also available, with their most fun spells and with really neat looking and fitting spell icons.
Also a custom UI texture!
The map lasts really long, there's a lot of content and a lot of different creatures, so it doesn't get boring too soon.
Combat is also very satisfying, with all the blood effect.
There are also a lot of cool item drops along with spell changing runes!

Terrain:

Really beautiful environment, especially the dungeon, it's really atmospheric with its red fog and the fire traps and the pillars.
Detail-wise there's been a lot of work put into it and it's executed well.

Other:

Nice description on the hive and an informative loading screen and also neat looking preview image.

Overall:

Another amazing Diablo 3 map, with a really atmospheric dungeon area and bloody combat!

Downloaded and tested.

First of all, i'd say congratulations for finishing another of your nice maps. You've kept the good things from the other of yer maps, and spiced this one up with new models etc.
Though i think it was just a little too hard as the barbarian, (only class i played :p) as i kept dying at some points, either because of lack of healing orbs/globes, w/e, or they just hit too hard. You should maybe take a look at that :p

Else it's a really nice map, i really liked it, so keep up the good work! :)

Godlike. Graphics, models, spells, terrains... what not.

And seeing the credits and how many people contributed to this map, it cannot be any less than awesome. Will d/l it later home, and edit my post about what I like. Althought its obvious I like everything

Once again, nice!

(i don't know how to vote for approval, but I am all for it!)

Can't wait for the final release :)

However, I think there are some bug at the first boss, after some charge, he got stuck in the fire hold in middle of the room and i can just stand there shot him to death lol

I have finished this with both Demon Hunter and Wizard, but i think Demon Hunter is kind of too strong, very good dps, very good AOE, equip your self with the runes that make her trap slow then you are nearly unstoppable :))

Lulz I see my wc3c nick in the models/skins credits list but I seriously don't remember ever making a model or skin haha.

Anyway I tested it and I like it. It has all the good things from your other maps and even more new stuff thats awesome. Really loved some of the events for example the zombie area where you walk in and all rise to swarm you(tho that was quite obvious so I suggest you add locust to them while they're dead so they look like doodads. You can remove it later by hiding them then removing it then unhiding them). Also really loved the rune system you implemented and how it altered the special fxs of abilities.

Voted for approval.

and say Booody,dont you think it would be a great idea to add a -DPS Commands feature for your map ??
i seen that in some Wc3 custom map before

Cant wait to play the last dungeon part of Halls of agony 0.o

Unfortunately I have no idea of DPS systems. i can even ask hell gate.

Here are new screenshots of the new area:

I'll suggest you one thing. That is to make damages from that new hero lower. (I forgot name) I winned game without losing any life with her :D Or just make game a little bit harder, to make game funier for MP.
BTW: Add this map to you signature too.

this game auto balance for the number of player,if you play full house the monster will have like 3000 life instead of 300 life ( exemple ) so its normal in solo to own everything with a range hero

btw yeah Booody add Halls of agony to your signature ^^

awesome you made anew map! Gotta try it out. Does the big red thing look like a red slaad to anyone else?

The big red thing is a trap from the Demon Hunter (Shock Spike). In the PvP map, there are now a total of 47 skills. Still 3 skills aren't finish. In the next days all my Diablo III maps get an update. Then I will release the PvP Beta map for a large PvP balancing test...

No i meant the demon with white spikes that walks slow. Looked like it took alot of damage to knock out.

Ok so I played New Tristram, then i realized they are i nan order. So i had a marathon of the maps and this one is really good too. The only thing wrong with it is the lack of Witch Doctor item set drops. Kind of annoying at start you see the nice staff for the set then later on you keep checking green items for the rest but they all turn out to be Korlic's Axe, maybe im getting some unlucky item drops. It was fun playing through the whole thing.


EDIT: I like how the witch doctors abilities are triggered. Cant wait to see more of these maps or some updates.

Yes this is a screenshot from my last map Diablo III Bastion's Keep. I will announce it after I published the PvP map.

I don't know what will happen in Diablo III. That's just my own version of the story.

You can send 1 gold/lumber by click. It is designed to send lumber (lifes) to other players. But click + CRLT sends 100 gold to other players :)

I've been waiting a long time to hear this...go on man!

btw is it possible that AI ally will be included in the new version?


AI allies are not included in the new versions because I would like that players often play together in Battlenet. In my opinion also the AI is not needed because you can play alone. And the AI has swallowed many resources. It caused lags.

Also I have a few new images from my 4th Diablo III part:
