think someone reported before but not fixed.. and it's either make all buildable or all unbuildable.. although not much benefit from building at those areas apart from maybe speedrun...

No problem.. kara told me that when i was looking for the info to copy into guide...

lol.. forgot to change thread title.. used this thread some time ago.. and you're the first drafter..

play against the beta leads vh pick isn't too difficult to complete.. harder versions in private beta could be completed vh pick.. watch the replay to see how to cut leaks.. or just wait for the guide to release all twenty two builds, all four, five and six element builds.. vh rnd would be much harder though.. in fact, even among beta leads, we only complete a handful of games out of several hundreds of games..most end in the forties.. so just keep playing..

the full list is on the top of the creeps info page on main site.. and it's copied into guide already..

would be pretty interesting to see some of the stuff we did and some of the bugs of closed betas..although well.. beta leader's story would need more interesting content.. or tell the stuff in a interesting way.. think build project should be declassified too.. although they can't view the build replays to copy the strategies without the beta maps.. it's still in game reports?

nice bug.. can't view the replay now but can all the extra builders be used? would make for very easy relocating of towers.. quick note.. you get the pure once it's summoned.. build the pure to help you kill kara's essence..

fail.. we check almost everything but didn't check the endgame message.. lol..

map verson is the official 4.0..

Now go out there, host the map as much as you can, get players to the forums and be the master of the elements.

Now it's released..

... seems like there are going to be two filenames of the map going around.. better get it fixed or there'll be violations of the forum uploading rules.. let's just agree on no underscores.. although most probably would not care about it..

now go online and host the map as much as possible..

indead.. everyone waited a long time for this release.. don't wait.. go online and play now and spread the map.. heh

The guide's first challenge. (a repeat of a old one) Survive as long as possible using (elemental) arrows and cannons only. You are not allowed to allow creeps to run around multiple times to farm interest. Post your best replays here!

4.0's released! Anyone up for a 4.0 forum draft? Post your nick here!

the release party is in a few hours time.. the best players are gathering to announce the release.. so there would be no more delay.. it would be released.. all hail the elements..

never know until someone takes a look at the ideas and gives it a chance.. did you think the store was possible? the mousepads have already been delivered to some forumers..

4pb i played in uswest.. i'm only in europe for private beta..

i have one newer replay.. and some answers to the other questions.. click the link in the sig below..

the towers are more or less equally balanced in their own unique ways now. Some towers may seem stronger than others, but may not be so. Case is enchantment v corrosion. In a build with heavy slow and splash towers, corrosion wins. In a build with no slows, enchantment should be stronger, where single-target towers feature more. we have tried to make all 4-element, 5-element and 6-element builds comparable against each other. A skilled player should be able to play at least semi-competitively against any other build. PB's trickery was spam lvl 1 towers.. and have 2 sets to clone towers. use one set while the other set is on cooldown. not sure about voodoo.. it was reduced to 5sec as most felt it was too long and the ability never got to trigger before the creep was killed. that was at 15% support. could possibly need a longer time now as the support is nerfed to 7%.

i always host -vhsrcmsm.. and few actually complain.. and the mode is announced most of the time in the pregame chat.. after the game starts, most go wtf and just leave the game.. but really. playing ve is almost not playing the game as it can be completed as long as the player builds some towers.. no insult to anyone.. normal should be the standard while the best can play in vh or even vhx..

the remember me box works for me.. not sure about the downloading files.. i had problems downloading files once in a while.. but probably is the connection/network rather than the forums..

The Guide is being updated for 4.0!!
