HOTLANE v1.0b - The First PvP map of Hammerwatch
OVER 1700 UNIQUE DOWNLOADS !
- IF YOU FIND BUGS, PLEASE WRITE THEM DOWN ON THIS TOPIC -
Description : Hotlane is a competitive PvE map, so it's indirect PvP : the players begin with an amount of money that they can spend in shops. When everyone is ready on the teleporter, the group is transported in a 4 lanes map (one lane by player). The goal is to be the first to open the golden door and kill the boss, by ANY mean, you can even activate traps in other player's lanes to slow them down by progressing in your lane and activating some buttons.
I'm working on implementing a timer to know exactly what's your "score" at the end of the map. By the way the new statistics seem cool
If you want to help me and promote the PvP in Hammerwatch : download this map, play it and tell me if the monsters should be stronger, the traps deadlier and if the classes are balanced
!
It's currently recommended to play the classes with their ultimate skill.Guide : Here's a global view of the map :
Here's a description of the main mechanisms on which the map is based :
This last one is particular : once the button is pushed, the annexes (full of upgrades, and potions, and heal and mana) will be closed for all the players except the one who pressed the button. It gives a serious advantage, especially for the Towers Room and to kill the Boss. About the top button, by pressing it you'll spawn random items (potions, upgrades and stuff !).

- Even more balancing (upping a bit the paladin after his nerf, reducing a bit the Warlock and tweaked the Wiz and Ranger HP).

The animation glitch of the fire trap on enemies will be fixed Soon™ (because it takes likes forever to fix).

- Enemies have been tweaked : more HP on spawners, higher spawn frequency, less HP on some mobs, mana drops from skeletons slightly reduced.

!) could post a sticky topic on steam about the best custom maps made by the community. There will be a link to the topic of the map and a short description of it with eventually a commentary or a mark given by the dev team on the map.
