Title: Competition #37
Post by: Aeroblyctos on December 28, 2011, 06:12:25 am
Competition Idea

In this competition you're challenged to create a whole boss fight from nothing. The idea will be used in later chapers in a way or another.


Hints

    • Find a good model for it from here (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models.php).
    • Find some cool effects from here (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models.php?d=list&r=20&t=8).
    • Or you can make a battle of a death knight. Look the picture above of the possibilities.
    • Name your boss.
    • Tell in what chapter your boss could be.
    • Basic Blizzard made models and effects are fine too.
    • I usually give these type of things to bosses: Spells(usually basic Blizzard made abilities), Mini-Events(special events, has short cooldown), Events(special events, has long cooldown), Passive(Boss doesn't need to do anything).
    • Look the example, it will help you.

    Here's an example:

    Picture of the death knights:

    Competition Rules

      • The idea have to be yours.
      • You can make unlimited amount of entries.
      • I will have all the rights to edit the rules all the time(I will do it correctly and I will be fair for everyone).



      Competition Prizes

      The winner of this competition will have his or her name to Hall Of Fame and will be credited as "Competition Winners" and "Idea Giver". If you have one more than once you'll be credited automatically as "Great Idea Giver". Also any other ideas that I'll use will be credited as "Idea Giver".


      Judging

      I'm the only one who will judge the winner of the competition. I will judge all entries. The amount of entries you post will not decrease your chance to win in any way. However, if there are a lot of entries or horrible entries, I'll have the right to kick some of them away in order to make the final judge easier for me.

      This is the order how I judge:

        • Is your idea creative and fresh?
        • Can I possibly create your idea?
        • Overall idea and theme?
        • The presentation?



        Deadline

        The competition begins immediately and conclude at earliest 8.1.2012 or when I judge the competition.


        Final Words

        Good luck, may the best idea win. If you have questions, ask.

                                                                   Epic Boss Fight
                                                                       The Death Knight

        IMPORTANT:Theese values are just sugestions.Aero is welcomed to shape them the way he want in case this boss is too week/too strong

                                                            Once again!

        Cinematic:The characters are entering a strange room with a portal inside

        The main thing is that the players are getting dragged into that hole.

                                                                Aetherworld

        Cinematic:The characters are somehow teleported to a strange place , just like a field(nighttime) with flowers all around it but no trees.
        Here the Death Knight Aetherblade comes , turning that hole into a wyrm and mounting it .http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/death-knight-frost-wyrm-152503/?prev=search%3Ddeath%2520knight%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20 (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/death-knight-frost-wyrm-152503/?prev=search%3Ddeath%2520knight%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20) . That death knight should somehow be weakened just like mileopouli.


                                                                  Aether strikes!

        Aetherblade's attack are frost and have a big range , huge dmg but slow attack speed.

        Nevermore the Raven
        Nightmare brought to Life

        Notice: Unlike most bosses, this boss is invulnerable to all damage, so the object is to avoid the attacks for 3 to 5 minutes in order to achieve victory.

        This is such a discrimination! It clearly gives off a sign that death knight boss fights have a greater chance of winning, otherwise it wouldn't be there (boss fight from nothing, krhm).

        Well, I asked in the chat what kind of competition you wanted. I got the idea you want to make totally own boss fight from the beginning, not just a spell or two for a boss.

        Just the best overall idea will win! I just wanted to help those who don't have an idea where to even begin.

        But wait! It doesn't end there: We'll be pushing the moral deadline further by another month! Hooray!

        Xavorn's words are...wait for it...not very effective. Aero's HP isn't reduced at all. Maybe you should try some stronger spells to destroy Aero's protection ability: Ignorance.

        Okay, the judge is here. We have three entries. I believe Doomlord's entry doesn't meet the theme of the competition. I just see a lot of details but the boss fight itself is missing. That is what I'm seeking.

        Now, here we go. We have a great battle betweern Blackdoom58 and Xavorn. Both have two entries, let's see who wins....


        Blackdoom59's "The Death Knight"


        +/- You made three phases, good thing. But none of the phases were unique, bad thing.
        +/- It's always nice to see someone trying to make a story for the boss too. However your story is half done.
        + I like the first phase's first event.
        + I like the attack speed bonus thing, it can lead to good and strategic boss fight.
        - The explosion event doesn't need any strategy or quick reflexes, it's only about luck which is a bad thing.
        - The models are a little bit too different from each other being the same enemy.


        I think you tried a little bit too unique approach. You created three phases but none of them were unique. You should have focuses on one phase and making it great.

        2/5


        Xavorn's "Nevermore the Raven"

        + Presentation is easy to understand and well made.
        + By making the boss invulnerable the whole fight is a new trick.
        - I don't like that "Flying Charges" can be only avoided with luck, there should be something that shows player how to evade and when.


        It's a new way to make the boss itself invulnerable. However you gave too little for the boss fight itself making the whole fight, I believe, too simple and boring. This type of boss fight should have needed a lot of minor enemies all the time. Now it's all about evading a simple charge spell that can only be avoided by luck.

        2/5


        Xavorn's "Shannon the Lunatic"


        + Presentation is easy to understand and well made
        + I liked the "Lunatic Explosion" event

        Overall the boss just evades playing by teleporting short distances and doing one event called "Lunatic Explosion" which is an okay idea. The should have something more going on, but for a mini-boss this would be okay.

        2,5/5


        Blackdoom59's "The Undead Flamelord"

        + Presentation is easy to understand and well made
        + Excellent model choise
        + Using corpses is a new way
        + "Carrior swarm" is a great idea
        +/- "Fire nova" is not that unique, but it acceptable

        The overall idea of the boss is nice. Using corpses is a new way to create a boss. I like what you've done. What I miss is that the boss doesn't have an efficent event.

        3/5



        And the winner is Blackdoom59! Congratulations!

        Hello,

        Well, it's completely understandable that the variability is a big-buck factor that matters, and Black had more variability with his Frizen, so pretty well judged.

        Even if they were to be added as mini-bosses, it'd be a cheer.
