and much later in the match... they still remain.

As you can see, there is no Reaver in the current game.

This is a screenshot.

I had been in a battle, surrendered, and then jumped straight into another battle. The last roll from the 1st battle was frozen on my screen throughout the 2nd battle.

yeah, Sun Dial is my favorite I think. I like playing on that one a lot.

That's excellent. Thanks Ross.

Perhaps it would help if it had an opacity of about 75%, so you could still see the content, and still see what was happening behind the menu in the battle.

Excellent. That'll be grand.

I just crashed and burned on the leaderboard, having lost a string of matches.

I went from 9th... to 220th.

Now, that was quite an impressive losing streak on my behalf, it would be kind of groovy if it was available to me somewhere so I could look and ponder and work out why everything went so badly.

I think I have it worked out, but I am sure something like a battle history would help cement that info for me. I got slammed in a few FFA and Team matches, so I am sure I can regain some kudos by dueling for a bit. But yes, it would be kind of cool if I could see at a glance that all of the games I have been losing recently have been FFA against Codymonk and Helpicantfly for example.

We waited about 7 minutes I think, after it froze.

After that I exited the game and came to post the screen shot here.

The forums won't let me upload that pic though... alas.

Yes. It might be easy enough to track alts through IP addresses etc, however, it becomes even harder to hide if you have a battle history. It also means that the community can spot alt farmers and report them.

If a battle history of one player shows that they only ever play against one other account, and they always lose to that account, then anyone in the community looking over that battle history could flag them for Ross to deal with.

But, a Battle History list is also useful for bragging rights, and tracking the types of games you've been successful/unsuccessful in, and the players you have been successful/unsuccessful against.

Mostly it would be so you can track your own growth and achievements. That is the main focus of it. The ability to use it to keep tabs on peeps using alts is an aside.

It might be kind of groovy, and make it easier to spot people playing alts, if we had a battle history.

A place which recorded Battle # | Game Type | Opposition | Win/loss | Duration

Not sure where you would store this info, but it could be nifty to have access to those types of results.

One idea i could see is look on the hero leaderboard. My Fighter Mage has decimated many opponents... I could see  {Diesbudt, The Fighter mage}.

That's the idea yeah!

For the gun slinger, the idea is that those +STR on the abilities, only apply for that ability. So your base + the STR bonus for that specific special attack.

So you get a bonus to your strength just for that ability, but if you use your normal attack, its your base strength again.

And yes, on the defender for the brawler, I did want something that would stop it from being a straight bonus., but not for it to just be a crappier version of the warriors ability.

ah, now when i try to post an image I get the following message:

game freeze.bmp.
You cannot upload that type of file. The only allowed extensions are gif,jpg,mpg,pdf,png,txt, bmp.

I've been trying to upload a pic of a game that froze on the first turn, but whenever I try I get the 500 internal error doobie.

Also... we were in a game that froze on the first turn -- the timer went down to 0:00 but did not pass the turn to the next player. I have a screen shot, once I get the forums to upload.
