It's just a glitch I think but you can just set the game back to faster before you start every game until it magically starts how it should.

Suggestions:

• If your ally dies in the first 2 minutes, have something to stop steamrolling. An extra 100 minerals or a pity temporary buff or something. For example, give all the killing player's units an "overconfidence" debuff for the next 30 seconds.
• Triple income speed for everyone when no units on the field in standard mode.
• Extend rounds only after end of a round. When a round ends, pop up a 10s dialog with options Quit/Rematch. Whenever a player quits, reset the 10s countdown. (Also, if in a 2v1 situation, allow the 1 to want only a 1v1.) Start the next round when the timer hits 0. Might also want the ability to modify the teams for the rematch. Don't force the third round, even if it's tied 1 to 1.
• Allow choosing the modes when creating the game lobby (include in-game voting as a mode option). That way players wanting only aggro can join the preset-to-aggro game. If this splits the player base too much, the voting mode will naturally rise to the top on its own.

Somehow the speed was set to slower? I was able to create games and set the speed to faster then open to public. Not sure how it happened in the first place.

I don't know what this beta is you're talking about but there's a version on there and the game speed must be set to slow-as-motherfucking-molasses.  It's running at least at half normal speed. It looks like there are two versions on the list.

Hey guys, there is a new version online its called Battlecraft 2.4.17 Beta its include a lots of new stuff and units for example you can make lurkers, vindicators, vultures, diamontbacks, scouts and a lot more.

On the extravagant gamemode you can choose over 10 heroes that you can bring into the battle.

Its awesome enjoy it.

Saw a new bug tonight and I can provide a replay if needs be.

Normal 2on2 game. My ally leaves immediately and the other guys ally also leaves during the countdown. That leaves both of us alive facing each other in the same lane with both of the other pylons still there but unmanned. It's nonaggro. He wins the first round.

The second round we both vote aggro. I win but then after the round ends his pylon does not reappear. Everything resets for me, the aggro timer counts down, but no aggro units spawn when I let it run out.  I make units and they path to the other lane and just sit there. I can't control them.

He decides to leave and nothing is triggered to end the game even though I'm the only one left. I figure I might as well leave and do so. The next game I had lost 30 points (and my sword!) for leaving.

Found a pretty serious bug. Sometimes, after you suicide, your enemy's next kill gives them the points for the units you suicided.

I've spotted this before, but I was never sure. Today I saw my enemy go from 10 income to 12 income by killing a single marine (after I suicided an air army that took out his large ground army).

If you buff vindicators much, infestors go from excellent to horrible. Like what happened to ghosts in pushes: I just use one vindicator spam instead of a zealot spam, and all the ghosts go away.

I think what needs a buff are the super zealots/hydras/goons/ghosts. All of them have really effective counters (eg. super ghosts die to 1 roach group).

I'd be ecstatic to see someone make queen/infestor!

Vindicators must be used properly to counter psionic units. You can't just spam them and expect to just wipe the map of your enemies' units. They aren't banelings. Send a meat shield with your vindicators so they can do some direct damage too.

I could be wrong, but in any case vindicators may need a slight buff to their backfire damage. It takes two sets of vindicators to handle a single infestor pack which hurts any probability of going on an offensive. Not to mention that the counters to infestors have easy counters to defend them. Queens with Infestor means air units are not wise, and for vindicators send banelings.

I'm pretty sure you get kill points for vindicator backfire kills.

The main serious bug in the map right now is how leaving is handled. If someone leaves the following may or may not happen:

• They get a pylon at the start of the next round
• They have income at the start of the next round
• You get bonus income and/or gas at the start of the next round
• You get bonus income and/or gas when their zombie pylon dies
• They can get kill score and income levels if you use shared control to spawn stuff
• A gray bar covers your income and score instead of theirs.

It really needs to be rock solid consistent.

An issue I have found with using Vindicators is that if anything dies to their backfire effect, no points are rewarded. Reason this is an issue is that I versed an opponent that regularly spawned Infestors until he gained his three gas and used it for the 600 minerals. It is bad enough that infestors have a powerful aoe attack, but that their best counter has no point rewards.

The problem is that I don't know if I want to play another round until half way through the current one, and by that point I'm too distracted to remember to vote yes.

Extend round votes should be shown during the start vote and there should be a time to vote on it after the first round ends.

Please fix the camera distance being lost when you scroll the mouse wheel (melee zoom in style). It's annoying to have to open the options and reset the zoom distance.

Easiest way is to just periodically apply the currently set distance.

Tordecy - I know what you're saying, marines are usually closer to the scouts than a banshee would be so the scout targets the marines.

Do you think you could maybe change up the ratings system to add points even for non-aggro games? I play like 90% aggro and the other 10% is when I give up on finding an aggro game and just play with 3 E ratings who b*tch and moan about 'f aggro', 'aggro sux', 'i no lik aggro'. Maybe add like 3 points a win for the first winner and 5 points max for 2 v 1? I like ranking up and it gets borrinnnggggg finding aggro matches sometimes.
