The Chosen Ones

Update for the Crash Bug in Chapter 3.

This Bug (at least here for me) constantly occurs when you finish the puzzle. No matter what circle you complete last, as soon as the last golem dies and the omega piece should appear --> Bang, Critical Error. (Maybe this helps in finding the bug)

Btw, I loaded from give up and play "Hard". That was the highest difficulty I was able to beat archmage

You are saying that people here are inactive and you are pretty much doing the same thing. Oh the irony. You don't like waiting? Of course nobody likes waiting and I can see that you are quite enthusiastic about the campaign yet you want to forget about it. Another 3 years? Nope, the campaign will be completed next year. Do you know what is the word for such members like you? STALKERS. Now begone!

Well Doomlord, congratulations, you just answered your own question. I mean with such friendly and understanding moderators, it's a miracle, that people are still posting in this board at all. (Yes, I already swore to myself to never post something again, but now I can't resist to rub this into your face)

I'm not sure how, but in some way you seem to think, that the people playing the campaign and following its development are responsible for this board. And here comes the clue of all: What are you complaining about:

You are not complaining about to less help, or about a bad going project. You complain about most people only visiting "Help me" and "Bug reports" subforums. You know all these people you are flaming so hard, they are here, posting in these two Forums, because they play TCO and want to help improve the project, (or at least continue testing it)....

So you are pissed about people not introducing, taking part in Offtopic-Spam Threads and Competitions. About the competitions, they usually require some time to think of something and secondly you should be creative for them. I am sorry, that most people are not creative enough, to think they can match against aero.

To the inactiveness in all other Threads, I will tell you something:

They are not contributing to the project, they are only for entertainment reasons. And sorry, but most people have other communities for things like "best songs" or "More about you" and 10 times the same is boring. But you haven't obviously and are furious about all the others not entertaining you.

But if you really want to get more players, there is one tiny thing you might do:
Change your point of view: Don't complain about the people, who are already here, but be grateful for their posts.
Oh and you might also try to stop the flaming.... a flaming global moderator never attracts members...
Just take Alric as an Example of how not to do it. He will never ever again post something here and I guess this will not help to get more active members.

And because I'm overly friendly today: Here would be an alternative answer to Alrics post:
(An answer that would not drive him away...)

"Hi Alric, thanks for taking word for our invisible watchers. Yes I understand, that there are many people who only drop off from time to time. But this Board was created to aid the development of TCO and currently we are afraid to become a ghost board. Why don't you check out the current competitions, or write a little feedback, on how you experienced the campaing, and its changes over time. That way you would show, that more than just a few people care about the progress on the project.

hoping to read some more posts from you soon,

Doomlord
"

OK, this post just got far longer, than I intended. But I think I'm done now.
Oh, and yes, I know that I am a "STALKER" too, but I don't have a problem with it.
And please don't bother writing a flaming reply, insulting me and telling me how pathethic I am, because I don't contribute anything. I would just smile about it, and hope you grow up some time soon....
I will keep stalking this Forum and I will keep not posting very much and be happy with it.
If you are not, that is unfortunate, but I can't help you with this.

But now I must get going, haven't stalked the Board for 5 minutes. I might miss something !!

yours, a Stalker, but he will not be gone, unless you ban me

Yes, I did.
I tested it during the fight. While I played fast, everything was fine. When I switch to Slow, a Bug occurs, as soon as Goamdo teleports the next time. But feel free to test it yourself, maybe it's just something weird with my Wc3, I messed around with it a little

For me it is like I told Aero, I play most Boss Fights on slow speed, so I can react better to the different Spells they are using.
When killing creeps or working on riddles, I play fast. I play on medium speed very rarely.

PS: The whole question arises because I notices that in chapter 8 the Solo Fight of Phodom against Gaomdo does Bug, if you set the speed during the fight to slow. (Would be nice if some1 else could check, to verify thats the reason)

PSS:Yes usually the Game Speed should not effect the campaign, but all the Fights in TCO are complicated triggers. And if this triggers use data from the game input, the Speed Setting might make a difference and as I said I think thats the case with Goamdo.

I can answer you question 2. The Item you are missing is Jade Cloak.
I'm not sure, but i think it can be stolen from Talloon in Chapter 5.
(I'm sure you can find it in Chapter 5, but I'm not sure about Talloon)

hope this helps

1. Selling bug is NOT FIXED. (Unless it requires a new game to take effect)

What about other chapters? Worked for me in... Test map.

OK, I just tried something: I created a new Profile, started the campaign new from the scratch, (no give up) und bambam in Chapter 1 I couldn't sell anything for the correct gold values. So I guess the bug persists through all chapters.....

2. Starting Maximilian Quest still breaks something with your gameplay.(You cannot select a unit for more than 1 ms)

After the cinematic or what?

I think the cinematic is not ended correctly. After the cinematic, I cannot select anything. I mean I can select it, as soon as I select it, it gets unselected immediately. So its impossible to select something for more than a millisecond.


hope this helps

OK, I just downloaded the new version 1.7f and tried chapters 7 and 8, discovering the following BUGS

1. Selling bug is NOT FIXED. (Unless it requires a new game to take effect)
2. Starting Maximilian Quest still breaks something with your gameplay.(You cannot select a unit for more than 1 ms)
3. Gem Seller in Chapter 8 belongs to Player.
4. Recipe for Crown of Magic still doesn't work. (Haven't tested any other until now)
5. In Chapter 8 Combat Kings overwrote Abilities again. When i typed in Remove ck, fradz fell on lvl 20, Phodom on lvl 10 and they couldn't level up again. (Similar to the problem reported above)
6. Invisible Strike still does not inflict any bonus damage.
7. Aerial Shield Recipe is missing.

Well that's it for now.

EDIT: I reached chapters 7 and 8 on Version 1.6f if that is of any importance.
