WC3 Beta Nightmares
[Unorganized rant]
I WANT TO KILL ALL THESE DUMASS BETA TESTERS!!!
Alright now that I got that out let me continue with my rant.
Everybody (and when I say everybody I mean about 75% of the population) seems to be a complete dumass and smurf in the beta test.
Problem 1: Dragon Hawks
In case you have not heard, there is a major imbalence issue with the new human flying unit, the dragon hawk. It doesn't cost much at all (less than a footman) and all you need to build it is the arcane sactume and the keep. To add to the problem they do twice the damage as a footman, have 500 hp, and only cost 2 food.
This means it is easy as hell to produce massive, and I mean massive amounts of Dragon Hawks.
So guess what basically everyone in the beta test does. Yep, you got it, they ALL JUST MASS DRAGON HAWKS. Half of them don't even get Heros for God's sake. These people are so worried about their Godamm Records that all they ever do is play as the humans and mass Dragon Hawks.
I can deal with all the other imbalences, but this right here is just plain pathetic.
Problem 2: People do not understand what to do with problems.
Here is a COMMON dialog in the chat rooms:
Person 1: Hey do you think *blankity-blank* is to strong?
Person 2: I dunno, isn't there some way we can tell Blizzard.
Person 1: No there isn't, I checked.
I stared at the screen for about a minute and just phased in and out of insanity at this extreamly stupid comment. IT IS THE BETA TESTERS JOB, AS SAID MANY TIMES AS WE WERE DOWNLOADING THE BETA, IT IS OUR JOB TO INFORM BLIZZARD OF ANY IMBALNCES, BUGS, OR CONFICTS.
I just want to cry. Honestly the only reason I don't stop playing the beta is because I signed up for the beta, and now I think I should do my best to help fix this majorly smurfed up beta.

Re: WC3 Beta Nightmares
What is a good way to kill the dragon hawks? Have a you found a good unit that can take care of them and then counter attack?
Stick with it young one.

my only hope for the beta is round two...

*COUGH* *COUGH*

Heres the link... It was on the main page of Blizzard's website. But you'll have to pry the CD Key out of my cold, dead fingers.

Re: WC3 Beta Nightmares
they really hsould have let you tel them your tpye of comp so it wouldnt be domianted by moronic PC users
, oh and I heard of an orc owning dragon hawks with some batriders, a Shadow Hunter, some shamans and witchdoctors, and I htink some grunts but I sorta think he was playing the single playuer if that exists in beta. Oh and why would people care about their records, do you really keep your Beta record?
