Installed the Demo,
First off, I would like to say that I am still keeping an open mind, because I love this series a lot.
I see a lot of great things in the works but is it supposed to have this many glitches, ranging from graphical to in-game errors ( and by errors I mean things that are not well thought through ) ?
I'll be better of by listing things ( as I see them - literally )
- Right of the bat I had some sunlight ( beams ) comming from the east, only in my case 1 of the "beams" were black. I tried to load a few times and on the 2 load they were gone.
- Speaking of which , it takes a loong time to load bmp
- I'm playing this game on a 26" screen with a GF8800GTX 640 MB card
1024X768 or 1280X1024 and everything is still very minimalistic ( vs Heroes V, I mean ) - I have been following the input here and I knew that before I started the demo, but sometimes it messes with the overview of the gameplay - for me that is.
- If you run the signpost and click too fast, the cut-scene skips. I don't know if that's just me, but I have loaded 3 times and it still does that. Could be because I have my tool tip set to only 2 seconds.
- When ever I load a save, it doesn't picture my hero in the middle of the screen. The screen starts of as if I had moved my mouse to the edge of the screen ( always right, though ).
- And again regarding the load screen : needs resizing
- Attacking ...or am I, yes I am...but who is going next ? : Sentinels
All in all I am still looking forward, and to be honest I Am wearing my glasses of negativity, but hey, thats what beta/demo's is for, right ?

Well, no.
In theory, the demo should be for "trying out the game". You play the demo so that you can have a snapshot of what the full game will be like.
If the demo is buggy, the player should assume that the game itself will be buggy. And that's not a good thing.

They really need to fix the Windowed mode. (As far as I know...) You can't change the size of the window at all, apart from changing the resolution, which is really sucky imo.
There is something I really want them to do. In Starcraft 2 you have a third mode, which is a combination between fullscreen and windowed mode. I works like fullscreen that it covers the entire screen, but it's easy and convenient to use as the windowed mode is. Which is to say that you can easily switch between various windows and jump out and in of the game at any time without any loading times whatsoever.
It would please me if they could introduce something like that.
(or just fix the windowed mode, by returning it to how it was in H5.)
Edit: and yeah one more thing; The music needs to stop when you alt-tab the game. When the game isn't in focus all sounds from it should be silent...

Is the demo updated with the first beta fixes?
Just a question, are retaliation strikes more nerfed in H6 than in H5? In other words, they have do less damage because it's a retaliation...

Giving spells cooldowns was a mistake. Hell, the whole way the spell system is handled now is a mistake.

One thing Nival easily did better than Black Hole is the spell system. Right now, it's garbage. Everyone is going to take a resurrection spell right out of the gate. Giving cooldowns to the spells is also ridiculous and really harms magic heroes in my opinion.
Also, anyone else get a bug where they can't cast sunburst on the first turn? I tried it versus some juggernauts (and perhaps it is due to some stupid resistance), but the spell would not let me cast first turn. I don't know why. It's a craptacular spell after all.

I don't agree.
I like the cooldown system. It prevents you from using the same boring spells all the time.
Except for Necro, I think the healing in the game is fine now.
What I don't like however, is spells that you can only cast ONCE like the Acid Cloud.

It's probably a bug, but it could be a "balancing" meassure also. After all, I won quite a number of battles by casting Sunburst on start of combat. But if the latter is the case, it just goes to show how crappy they are at understanding what makes the game fun, just like th stupid idea of spell cooldowns as you say.

Do you think cooldowns are better than high mana cost ? For reference, Mirror Image in Heroes 2 had a cost of 25 spell points. That's 2.5 points of Knowledge.

Cooldowns sucks.
Seriously if there are many good spells then that should be enough to make the player use different spells. Cooldowns are just a stupid restriction.
Though I don't mind it that much, but I really dislike spells and skills which have "once per combat".

Hardly surprising, most games have that by now I assume. Can't say care much, I guess it's the common bullsnow we have to deal with nowadays.
Sucky for those who lack internet completely. (few as they may be...)

I like cool-downs. It was great addition in King's bounty: The Legend, and heroes 6 benefit from using that system (in my opinion of course).
