Just another note about changing game speeds: skirmish by default uses fixed time, speed so you have to change it to adjustable in the settings first. Tournament seems to default to the adjustable though.
You can get nearly in-game pause by hitting the numpad - key down to -10 speed if you want to look through skill trees, shops, etc. in single player. Also handy is hitting plus a bunch of times to get through the respawn timer and * with 1 second to go to jump back to normal speed.
Yeah, they really need to do something about the Kill X DGs levels in tournament. I'm 6 games into a Hard tournament and have only lost those ones despite having at least 4-5 kills each time since my bot teammates just throw themselves away.
Enjoying the beta so far, but have a few interface issues: 1) Life bar rendering is affected by zoom level: when I zoom out from the action, the life bars rendered on the screen shrink, and zooming back in fills up the rendering. 2) The "Player is Rampaging/Devastating" etc. popups block menu selections in the store, level up screens, etc. 3) Can't change my multiplayer name from what it defaulted to when I first logged in. I've looked quite a bit
