The link about the DRM doesn't work. Specs are easy, ofcourse. The DRM is what bugs me. Do we have DRM or not?



DRM will be but, if i remember well a couple of months ago the way it works has changed so You need Internet when registering (checks if a valid product) the game after that all is ok no permanent Internet connection needed, but there might be some official news on Ubisoft web site

Wait, what?

Every time we start the game we have to be online? Or just the first time, when we install it?

From what I understood just the first time when you install

EDIT

Nop I'm mistaken semns you need Internet connection for game verification (from what i get every time you start the game)

That's usually how it works for digitally distributed games and it's pretty certain for the digital version, I can't speak for disc versions.

Those who don't have a choice but to get a digital version should buy it then crack it to work without the DRM. It's enormous BS to lose a non-multiplayer game if the connection goes down or you're on a plane with a laptop or something. It's not nice, but they just don't have a better solution that doesn't cripple their paying customers.

They haven't said "this is the DRM that the game will have". It is the system currently in place for games released by Ubi and is pretty likely to be the way for this one too unless they change their policy before release.

Like I said though, I'm not informed enough to speak for disc versions. It's pretty relevant though because it has been stated that certain countries (US for example) will not have a disc version available.

   The second article said

Quote:
DRM will be decided on a case-by-case basis in the future


so you might have a point, hope the higher ups in Ubi will take in consideration that this is a game played by a lot of people in single player and easy it up even more.

Why do you so much concerned about the DRM system. Every problem has a solution. Yeah, I know it's silly to crack a legal version but if you don't have a choice... you do it.

I completely agree with you. There are limits when anti-piracy becomes anti-privacy. On one hand, I want them to make great quality Heroes in the future, thus I will buy the game, but there is no saying of just how strong I disapprove with the using of DRM.

When does the open beta begin?  Did anyone get their key from ordering the deluxe version from Ubisoft online yet? Does the key work yet? Does anyone know how long they are going to keep the option open to pre-order the game and get the extra items and heroes?

Thanks.

Xhane said that you will have to wait. You can't think that they would release the beta right now
You probably will have it 2 weeks before the final release

It's my first post on this forum so hi everyone ...

/*********** first part (boring bla bla bla - nothing important for this thread) ***************/
firstly I want to say: "OH MY GOD - H6 IS COMMING OUT!!" ... I didn't know about it (haven't read forums quite some time) and yesterday just for curiosity what's going on I've discovered THIS (it makes me wonder about ubisoft's marketing ...)
Actually I read the whole thread... yes WHOLE ( its possible )... and have some thoughts about a game ... generally positive.
I will not post all of them here - just 1 and 1 :sux (actually I can't say until releasing the game - I would say "I have doubts" ):

:
tier system - I can already see the diversity of strategies per faction (adapting to current situation) of hiring what you want per tier level... + better balancing

:
I'm not so sure about hero ability tree - I hope it wouldn't end up with 1/2 "super ability builds", which everyone will be using

/*********** end of first part *************************/

question: does anyone know or have a clue who's on that picture (fallen angel guy) ?


fallen angel is a girl, called sarah, she'll play a role in the story, in front of her theres kiril one of the five children and also infernos "main" hero... welcome to the community... official site (since u enjoy reading) if u havent seen it yet....

Hope everyone in the community has a strong enough machine coz in 2 months i will be kickin each and every ass LOL

You are right.  Just a little impatient is all.
