No news on the beta, huh? If it's been delayed, the game might also be delayed again.

The only thing that was wrong on the leaked RSS feed has been the date when Sanctuary creatures were unveiled and the reputation thing which was not released (probably comes on friday)
I reaaaaaallly hope that beta will come tomorrow but a strong part of me says that it won't and I will QQ about it tomorrow in this thread.

It looks like the beta, while it is on the way and will happen as soon as is reasonable, will NOT be starting tomorrow.
Sorry to everyone who got their hopes up prematurely. Don't trust cracked RSS feeds as a reliable source!

To be honest, I'm glad because I still haven't pre-ordered.
I really need to do that now!

The RSS wasn't cracked.
Most of the websites nowadays have RSS feeds where you can get the latest news. It's a technology from the end of the '90s.
The official Might and Magic website has one too, you can reach it under the news, or [url=http://might-and-magic.ubi.com/heroes-6/en-GB/news/rss.aspx]here is[/url] a direct link.
By the way the RSS of the official site is an unusable abomination. It shows the "latest" news from the website sometimes only after weeks or so (at this point, the latest news on RSS is the dev team interview from March) and it has the latest news at the end of the list which means an "upside down" RSS feed.
Ubisoft sent these dates on their official RSS channel.
So if you think that subscribing to an RSS feed means cracking, please, rethink it.
edit: and before someone send me again videos from anger management, I am not angry and I didn't want to be hostile.

I wouldn't know (or care) since I don't subscribe to it anyway, but ok, sorry, let's replace "cracked feeds" with "unpublished tentative data".

With all the respect Ceph, but somebody just "snowed" up again.
It's not like it happened for the first time, and it really doesn't seem like anybody cares or learns on those mistakes. Actually that's among the biggest issues with Heroes VI, for the time being at least, for me personally. The game looks lovely so far, and I'm having my hopes up for it becoming my favorite in the series, but the constant errors the publisher makes in connection to the news publication are starting to stretch the line from "mistake" to "disdain".

Worth noting that there is no longer a tactics phase so you're gonna have to pick tactics if you want to start with your shooters neatly surrounded by 3 meatshield stacks in the corner.
Wait ...what ???
So if there is a rock followed by dead tree or something blocking ur melee u might just lose battle ...hope no1 plans to play competitive multiplayer because losing a decisive on this , what a nightmare !
naaah this must be a joke ...snow all this 'let s have the 3rd again' thing ,now that had some much this idea that the third was 'the best' (he wasn 't) that they just erased all the improvements of homm5 ...

Karanshade, I agree that removing the tactics phase was a bad idea, especially with many large creatures and not being able to see the battlefield before it's too late. In single player it will cause a lot of quicksave-load, and in multi perhaps a lot of unfair wins. Not good IMO.

Karanshade where did you get that info from? I find that highly doubtful.... removing the tactics phase entirely would be prepostrous. Many factions rely on good positioning simply having your troops placed at random would be boaderline idiotic. Ubi couldn't possibly have made it so... tactics in itself give the player that has it an advantage just as it should like this it'll be paramount to get the skill and the one that has it will have an significant advantage over the other player without having to work for it. Nonononooo I'm sure they haven't removed the tactics phase...
Do our esteemed VIPs have any info on this?

Azagal, I'm pretty sure it means you can only participate in the tactics phase if you have chosen the tactics skill. You just don't have some level of tactics by default.

Everyone having a tactics phase at the start of every H5 battle was an aberration and I'm glad it's gone. If your army relies on good placement, then pick the skill and stop whinning
