ATS finished It was really funny to play with you guys. Great experience, I really liked it, and chatting with you was always very funny and relaxxing. Maybe Brett will visit me, if he comes to Bavaria another time ;-)

Thank you very much, that you guys decided to do this testing. I hope it was useful to you.

I didn't have the time at all to test this week, can someone explain how the map system will work?

wow it's over? Talk about with a whimper......hardly anyone was showing up and the devs pretty much only said 'you know what to do'. Would think there would be some sort of nice send off, a thanks, something.......even just them telling us it was indeed over.....man I poured about 50 hours into that

edit: on the last day, Izzi told us to look at our qualifier points before and after. I think I found a bug but Izzi didn't even stick around till the end of the tourney for me to tell her what I found

IMO, there's something wrong/ not so good in the way testers were recruited/gathered and how the test was run. Ever declining # of testers is largely owe to these problems.

And yes, rather sad/least impressive end. Only 4-5ppl showed up on Hero Battles outpost, no dev appeared, no fireworks. I'm a bit disappointed.
At least, we had that last week (Friday, at the end of HvH ATS)

For each round, map is randomly chosen by GvG ATS. Every team will fight on the same map at any given round as well. So guild Hall doesn't matter.

eg.
First day, we all had Burning Isle for 2nd round and Jade Isle for 3rd round.

Sounds not bad at all.
