Evaluation help needed

Miika · 12-07-05, 08:44 AM

Those who have played my scenarios; I'd like to have some feedback about two subjects:

1) The difficulty level - are my scenarios typically too easy or too hard?

2) Distances - are the opposing platforms typically too close?

I'm making some new ones, and thus would like some balancing help... Thank you in advance.

I have to admit I haven't played them because I haven't used the LWA mod in a while.

Miika · 12-10-05, 01:59 AM

No matter... I've made every mission to be very re-playable, with lots of dynamic possibilities. I'll have to admit that due to that it does not matter very much if you have the mod or not, since the mod mostly affects the detection ranges. That's also why there are no "difficulty stars" in my missions. After some testing I have to state that each time you play the difficulty is something between 1 or 4 stars...

(All missions are open, check if you like...)

I myself like the LwAmi mod, but after having to re-install DW, I tested my missions without it as well, and they worked fine.

Thanks for answering, anyway. I hope to get some feedback; my usual playtesters are working hard, and I haven't been able to get any feedback from them.

I've played only a few because I spend the most of the time for playing with DW with the mission editor.

I can't tell you much for this reason, but I know how you feel, because not knowing what people thinks about your missions makes you doubt when making new ones...

The only thing I can say is that I thought once that maybe you can pack the missions on a campaign... :hmm:

Miika,

Don't worry I will give it a try very soon!

Deathblow · 12-10-05, 02:25 PM

Hm... guess I'll give them a try as well. Feedback shortly.

Just played thru your SSBN Hunt mission. Very nice indeed. Was well paced with good action, but not too random.

Thumbs up.

If I had to offer any suggestion at all. Making the Russian Akula player controllable might be fun as well. And maybe scripting in a Ally AI attack would add a little flare, either from the Trafalgar or SAG. Just a tad bit more background in the mission briefing may add the right amount of drama. Other than that, way to go.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm making some new ones and learning as I go...

I've made 31 Future Fleet, China Fleet and Russian Fleet missions so far, and you can get them from

http://www.subguru.com/dwmissions.htm

(From Subguru's site, that is.)

The main point I'd like to know is if they are generally too easy or not. I've tried to make them very re-playable, with a lots of dynamic locations and units.

I'm testing your mission right away

(And if you can give a hint where to find more missions, please do.)
