Scourge Tower Death Animation
14th March 2010 Saturday

ANCIENT PROTECTOR

I highly recommend you test the map out rather than viewing the image, as the animation has two parts, unreliably the screenshots do not show it very well, if at all.

SPIRIT TOWER

To be honest, while th idea is nice (It was awesome in the Halloween Map), I think those spiders are too big and maybe too much. The complete black tinting isn't that good, either. You should improve it a bid, than you have my support.

Siraraz · 03-13-2010, 10:22 AM

I dunno. Like I said, I inserted random numbers. I could try play around more.

Silwerwing · 03-13-2010, 10:22 AM

That's a quite nice idea there... But those spiders don't feel right and the second effect is a bit much. Maybe spirits released? You know, the model of tower's normal attacks. They could maybe move in spiral to sky or something like that. T-up for concept.

Siraraz · 03-13-2010, 10:29 AM

Alright, try now. The spider's are a bit smaller and not as completely black.

And yeah, I'm experimenting. I'll try play around with spirits floating into the sky.

コクーン · 03-13-2010, 01:28 PM

Current is quite nice, so T-down.

Burndead · 03-13-2010, 01:48 PM

I wanna see spirits floating...

FlaMe · 03-13-2010, 03:34 PM

Current one is better and also suggestion two seems flashy?

fizzwidget · 03-13-2010, 05:33 PM

Why not take the death animation from the Haunted Gold mine for Scourge towers (spirits fleeing part, not the green dome part.) IMO Sentinel towers death animation is fine.

Aca29 · 03-13-2010, 06:14 PM

T-up for spider idea

darkhunter · 03-13-2010, 08:44 PM

Guys, this is visuals, its an eyecandy, don't be easily satisfied by graphics. Although effect 1 is neat, i would actually like souls but spiders are okay since it's from the bottom of the tomb.

It wouldn't give the sentinel justice though.

T-null

The Sentinel has destroyed a tower

Furion: That's it??? Wtf?? just a big explosion? No gore no souls??

Syllabear: Yeah, exactly furion, i was also thinking about that, my bear was also disappointed

Davion: Geez, you guys have to calm down, atleast we destoyed it right???

Furion and Syllabear: ......

Davion: What????? Why are you guys looking at me like that?

Furion: Why don't you destroy the tower....

(after destroying)
Davion: What??? That's it?? wtf is this??? runescape?

this cosmetic.

refrag · 03-14-2010, 12:23 AM

I do agree it should be a lot more BAM to kill a tower, and some graphic improvement is always welcome. But I can't see the point in spiders, seriously. What was mentioned before makes more sense in my opinion: give the exploding tower some escaping spirits / souls, that fit the theme.
Actually I really do like the idea of spirits being set free by the Sentinel, would give a minimum more motivation to kill it myself ('cause I'm the good guy, y'see?).

On the other hand, I'd like to see something more flashy for the Sentinel towers too. I must admit, that I'm not to firm with all the WorldEditor-stuff, but are there any sprout-animations in WC3, that could be reworked to rotten looking -that would make a cool effect, especially when you're playing Scourge -hell yea, rot the fuckin tree down!

Siraraz · 03-14-2010, 01:17 AM

I guess a Spider Nova didn't fit.
Update with a better Spirit Release instead.

Ok. I'm drafting a plan now.

Basically, 'energy' travels into the core of the Ancient Protector, then it explodes releasing the 'energy powder/dust/whatever' in a gigantic firework/nova thing. And trust me, it's fancy

NoThlnG · 03-14-2010, 06:42 AM

Is it needed to give some additional visual effect to sth that is fine?

Siraraz · 03-14-2010, 09:33 AM

Yes.

Burndead · 03-14-2010, 09:37 AM

OK. I love spirits and they are more fitting than spiders and the explosion.

T-UP for spirits.

P.S. Aren't they quite a lot?

I can always lower it if others think it's too much as well.

Zangetsu2201 · 03-14-2010, 10:05 AM

After I've seen the map, it looks really nice, better than the current one, though it should be a little bit faster. T-up!

Silwerwing · 03-14-2010, 10:55 AM

This sure looks more awesome than the spiders! T-up there!
