I don’t mean to pry or push, but do we have an approximate time of when we’re going to get rated?

Idk about the rest of you, but I’d recommend getting started on your talent trees now as opposed to waiting

Alright, everyone! Week 1 judging has concluded. The final average scores are as follows:
Cult: 15.14
Classic: 16.83
Because Classic scored higher in Week 1, all Cult concepts must apply the following Restriction to their concept, which will affect their Week 2 scores.
All Cult concepts must include an alternate (bonus) talent on Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 5, and Tier 6. These talents should fit with the talents already on the tier and provide a meaningful impact to the character build. This change is made to reflect the olden talent system where all characters had 4 talents on each tier.

Not what I was expecting. Not sure if easy or horrifyingly hard. (.-.)

Due to recent developments with Week 2 judging, I will be pushing all deadlines back 1 day. This should allow everyone ample time to react to the judge’s feedback. Week 2 judging, completed by Nortin, will be posted by at latest tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. I would recommend everyone at least start to ponder about the fluff portion of Week 3.

Hello everyone! I’m very sorry about the delay, but judging for Week 2 is posted now. If anyone has questions about my reviews and scores, I’ll be around to respond this week (both on the forums and the HotS designer Discord).
Here are the average scores for this week:
Cult - 14 / 20
Classic - 16.167 / 20

Because Classic scored higher in Week 2, all Cult concepts must apply the following Restriction to their concept, which will affect their Week 3 scores.
The Cult members must design master skins, full recolors, and storyboard (through text) a full release trailer, as well as determine which Nexus force they would side with if the Nexus lore continued. This will be considered separate from any normal skins and fluff that may be provided. The nostalgia consumes them!
Good luck everyone!
Greetings, I would like to clarify the new requirements for cult concepts. I already know that it is necessary to make fourth talents, how to give classics, but I did not understand the new requirement completely. Everyone who makes a cult should:
- describe (draw) additional skins for their heroes.
- Make a text description of the hero, how does this happen in heroes spotlights?

When you mean trailer, do you mean basically what would our concepts be doing if going into the nexus or a in-depth description of their playstyle(s)?

Someone brought this up once already, its basically a written trailer script effectively, you can do it similar to HotS reveals or spotlights, Smite ones, Dota etc etc.

Importantly, don’t forget that it also includes descriptions of the video and audio that should be happening with your script as well. Bliztron gave this as a full explanation:
“Scripts utilize not only the text and dialogue over the video, but also asides that describe the transference of scenes, picture inclusion, video layout, and oftentimes vague choreography. It’s important to use these asides to describe in vivid detail the direction the video should take so that artists, animators, and editors can work together in a cohesive manner to produce your vision.”
(Don’t mind me just gonna steal the judge’s job of explaining since he’s not around for the moment.)

Isn’t it too late to change the concept of a cult hero to a classic hero concept? : D
Because I just realized that making the concept of goblin sappers from warcraft 2 seems like an easier task. kekw
I’m serious. It will be easier for me to make a new hero than to make a presentation. And why? Because I’m lazy and I have paws ฅ ‘ω’ ฅ
I don’t know if its strictly against the rules to change hero concept part way through(Though I would not recommend it), but I do believe you’re restricted to whichever side you’ve chosen between Cult or Classic this CDC, as otherwise people would have just switched to Classic to avoid the Week 1 and 2 penalties.

So we’re actually making a video or what would be said during the video?
We’re writing out the dialogue(What would be said), plus supporting elements such as a brief description of the visuals(Pictures, animations for animated videos, the like) and the general theme of the soundtrack to the video. It also doesn’t need to be 100% of the details, I don’t think, just general guidelines, as this is a storyboard instead of the finished thing.
I know I’m not a judge but I did double check with Bliztron by giving him a view of my storyboard while I was working on it to make sure I was doing it right, so. (^_^’)
