All suggestions pertaining to the map should go here. There is not really any room for hero suggestions in OD since it's based on a tight-knit hero encapsulation, but if you have ideas for items, modes, options, UI things, etc. you can post them in this forum.

Consider it, as I am not suprised, but this map is very successful on Europe. But those two things would be great ;)

Loading screen and this small picture before start of the game. Right now it's just a black thing.

We're talking about a Beta here bro.
DoE didn't get one until recently, and it's been out far longer than OD.
Neither DoE or AotZ have (or need) a loading screen. Loads are quick.

Yeah but DoE's preview image didn't suck.

And dusk just said at wc3c that the next version has a new preview image. Loading screens aren't worth it as long as they aren't as awesome as the one in Pimp Hero Defense. xD

No one is ever satisfied with preview images anyway.
Pubbie 1 "Wtf is that thing?"
Pubbie 2 "Some random crap"

Well there's already a minimap preview, unless we want to waste more room for a loading picture.

I've gotta visit Europe's servers sometime.

Speaking of that, are there chatbots that don't necessarily require WC3 installed?
Can you hear them?

Okay, I tried Mirage, which is apparently basically Stealth but prettier.

And the BNLS refuses to accept my connection, or something else is going wrong. "[10:35:50 PM] [BNLS] 10061: Connection was refused by the BNLS server, try again later."

Happens every time I attempt to connect. I've tried several different servers. I've filled in only the WC3 RoC CDkey, and am ordering it to use WC3 RoC, not WC3 TFT. Weird.
