The more people standing on the point, the faster it countdowns. If the number of your team and enemy is same on the point, the point will tick back to whoever it belongs to. (Same as Team Fortress 2)

Anopob	That third screenshot looks like it has way too many sfx. Is it really necessary/laggy because of that? Otherwise, it seems pretty interesting.

Hi!, Thanks for looking into this.

The 3rd screenshot was illutionist and doom sage using their own ultimate, it shoudln't lag at all because those 2 were base on death and decay, so its just some sfx changes and some extra coding (for example, slowing nearby units).

The spells might look imbalance at first, but after playing with a full house it will feel that it is meant for its fast paced. Ofcourse theres still alot of balance testing to go as some spells scale by attribute but some don't. So i appreciate all the feedback (:

I will get more gameplay screenshots up when i test it online with a fullhouse, but i lost my photoshop disc and paint can't open .tga ):

Sabertooth_X	When you press print screen you can paste into any image thing (like Paint) so you can do that. Maybe you can use wc3viewer to convert to blp then to jpeg? After all, it's free and you can get it here.

Yeah, but i don't want to keep alt+tab when playing a game, its very annoying. Thanks for the wc3viewer tip, i will try it out!

*Updated 1st post for a hotfix version along with the change log

Anopob	Well actually, if you want to take multiple screenshots at a time without putting it into a picture editor program, they will appear in your c:/program files/warcraft III folder, in the Screenshots.

SmileyJeff	Anyone tested it out yet? any feedbacks or comments? I will upload a replay soon after tonight's testing at bnet.

Malf	Don't you think James is queer for a hero name who is also a troll?

SmileyJeff	@TKF Open Beta means, The beta is for everyone to test. It has nothing to do with the editor. @Malf All the heroes are based on my friends' name.
