Hi Shaun, What are you talking about? How does what you said relate to battle Zone?
Best Regards, Hayden -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of shaun everiss Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 12:57 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Character Comments well I never use the warnings for traps anyway I use the view command. I aggree also about the messages. In a game I play in bgt called battlezone enemies say random messages, I suppose angela could say victory messages after a battle, and or stuff before. Saying that its not a major part of my game play.
