Beta question, Aqua Man and Bundy read and reply if you can

ok, since I have a key I'm wondering, can I install a second war3 first then turn that into the beta?  I mean that way I don't have even think about loosing anyhting saved/made with the old one right?  Also I've been reading aorund about beta stuff, and I htink the range skeletons made should have simply been archers, rather than sorcerers, or do they not have any spells?  And why not simply make it that if it was a melee coprse you get a skeleton, if it was a rnaged unit, archer or sorcerer simple, or even sorcerers only for casters.  Makes sense.  THough I suppose thats alot of coding, but it would be worth it I think.

Yeah, you can make a second install of War3 then install over that, but don't worry about installing over your first install, because it doesn't overwrite your savegames or replays.

Tho, if you wanna play regular b.net then, yea, install War3 again.

I'm not really that sure on the whole skeleton situation, but that is something more or less up to blizzard.

one minute silent prayer for bungie.  Now send in the batriders to destroy Micorsoft  twisted Anywas I played ht ebeta, the big dl wasn't htta bad, not even 10 min for me, the hard part was the beta updates, one by one, and one of em froze when I hit restart so I had to hard boot my comp.  I have a 2/2 record already wih 1 custom win (played custom first to see what was happening)  Anyways it's nice with all the new stuff, gonna really scramble up all the old strats, though I find my orc and UD start are even more effective due to the low cost of some things.  Though the spirit walkers I see as quetionable, i havent used em much but to em they seem only good if you know someone is going necros, or you are Massing tauren for that revive thing, oh and they can go invisible, or is ethereal visible just only touchable by magic?  Oh and Aqua man what's your beta name, I play under Yuyusukae (after the show Yu YU Hakusho, I know it's spelled wrong but when expansion comes I want YuYusuke to be my practcice name to replace Sardis)  Oh and bundy tell me when you are back, and maybe we can work out time schedule, or days, so we dont try to sign on at same time, and I WORSHIP YOU!!!!!  YOUR KEY IS A RELIC OF HOLINESS big_smile  cool  lol  smile  mrgreen  cheers  up  pirate  gremlin  love  love

Re: Beta question, Aqua Man and Bundy read and reply if you can

Re: Beta question, Aqua Man and Bundy read and reply if you can

nah they cut off every button cept options, quit, and bnet.  And you can only play 1v1 or 2v2, arranged team, and make cans, and theres only four maps for 1v1 and fou for 2v2, so I guess they wana make sure you try the new terrains an dcreeps, also they havent put in any neutral heroes besides dark archer so far, but all in all it's good, also most of the v2 maps you run out o god quick, I htink they need to put in more gold mines, and creeps run out quick too, also there are none strong enough, I mean I can creep a whole map, not counting if I may be attacked by enemy, with like 3 grunts and a hero, especially shadow hunter, and prolly ny other race you can do similar, and lame strike with the blood mage doesnt seem that strong, it looks AWESOME but doesnt seem to fo that much, I think it would be perfect if not exaclty stun bu had the effect that thunder clap and earthquake do, sorta slow you down, I mean cmon, insntant storm of fire would confuse you.

Re: Beta question, Aqua Man and Bundy read and reply if you can

Well... I play on two accounts, Zander, and Black.Sphinx, my Zander account is my account that I'll play on when i get better at this whole beta thing, but Black.Sphinx is my account to try out stuff on, just to mess around.  If im on, i'll probably be on under the Black.Sphinx name.
