WoW Boss Contest
This contest is about gameplay! I've seen a lot of maps that are based on the concept of "Heroes against waves of enemies". This is a viable solution but sadly most of the monsters are basic. We are going to explore a way to make your map a lot better: creating Bosses!
What to do?
You have 10 days to complete this contest.
- Create a boss fight
- The boss must be scripted (eg: aoe every 1 minute) and the user has to react on it (eg: move out of sight).
- You can use WoW models to help you make it epic :)
- You have to provide a youtube video. If you can't record, post the map and find someone to do it for you
- You have to attach the map used to take the video
Ideas
If you don't understand what the contest is about, just look at that Thaddius fight made by rrowland.
Reward
The main goal of the contest is to further community development within GalaxyEdit. The rewards can be see as follows:
- First: 1-year Curse Premium
- Second: 6-month Curse Premium
- Third: 3-month Curse Premium
- Everyone else: 1-month Curse Premium
Sentry Scramble by RedWraith
I'm hosting the map Sentry Scramble on Europe and I've been congratulated many times about it (that's kinda odd since I am not the author). This is why I decided to feature it :) The map is using special effects very nicely!
Central Review Conglomerate by DarkRevenantX
DarkRevenantX has been reviewing many custom maps the last few weeks. The reviews are very detailed, with screenshots and improvement ideas. If you don't know what to play or want to know some do's and don'ts about map making, this is your chance!
WoW - Pumpkin vs Zombie by TotalBiscuit
When I first saw this video I said myself, this is a nice map but I wonder why the author decided to recreate the WoW minimap. And then I realized this was not Starcraft 2 but World of Warcraft! Blizzard is adding minigames that could easily be custom maps :) For those who wonder, this game is a remake of Plants vs Zombies.
Someone PLEASE make the rotface fight. One marauder kiting the big ooze, marines and medics dpsing the boss.
