Does anyone see what it is that had the insiders so excited after Gamescon that they were busting at the seams to tell us, but couldn't due to the NDA?



yes, I noticed, the "surprise" that Znork mentioned earlier and day 1 patch, whatever it contains. But who knows?

I don't mind that they are a bit cheap about the bosses. They are creatures you fight once in a map, maximum. The real problem are the Light and water elemental.

Quote:
@Wckey -> I think the Abyssal worm on the right is the real boss, the one on the left is just artwork (my opinion). There are only 8 bosses. I say this because they are including the dire wolf and timber wolf as separate neutrals...

Well, they said that there are 8 bosses, but we have at least 11 boss battles (2 for campaign plus the mandatory last boss). Maybe they decided to change a bit one of the bosses you will fight twice...

Also, some bosses might not be actually bosses. For example, the Spirit of water Dragon of the screenshot from 3dgames review. It isn't strong (1500) compared to Mother Namtaru, which is more than ten times stronger..

Quote:
some errors and impressions from me  Everything is great
The big A2 poster got some errors. It says Dreameaver, Mother Breeder and Blazing glory (no capital on "g") !
The T-shirt is L size  What is that for like, guys at 185cm or so? What about regular girls.
The ring says "Lux dominatoris", what does that mean?
The DVD case says " "special version including +1 Extra hero and +1 extra item. Shouldn't there be 4 extra heroes and 2 extra items as it says in the box? Yume, Kraal Sveltanna and Aguirre + staff of Asha and Staff of cleansing

And the artbook? Is it any good?

Sorry to let you down, dude but it was just their "promise" to change (whatever the hell that means...) the town screens that got them excited.


Do you know this for fact or are you just speculating on this being it? If this is true, then Christ, people are easily swayed and appeased.

Can you elaborate on that if you do see what it is?

It was only Znork who got so excited and you can tell by his posts as a whole, that he's very enthusiastic about the simplest of things.

The rest of them just hinted us about it and that's all but they didn't share Znork's ecstatic sentiments.

So what do those of us do that are not planning to buy the game for the time being, but still don't want spoilers from the story?

Well, there is one person (who will remain nameless) that I spoke to (that is until I basically told him that his reasoning for praising the devs made no sense and was in fact counterproductive so he stopped responding back) who basically hated this game from what he saw in the beta. He did nothing but bash almost every aspect of it, but as soon as he got back from Gamescon he was saying that this had the potential to be the best Heroes game ever and was praising the devs over this mystery surprise.

Apologies for murdering the mystery , but part of it was the little town screen mention, yes. However we expected considerably more... comprehensive announcements of what is to come. I can't reveal what may happen but I had hoped the posts would do so in detail.

Genuinely sorry if it has caused anybody sleepless nights - I shouldn't have hinted about it before seeing what would be posted myself. We all know about Ubi's good old track record for communication and all that.

Spoilers from the story? I don't care about those. What can you expect from a video game's story anyway? They all suck, no exceptions. The good ones are those who do not suck much.

I wanna know about the bugs and other such issues. We never got to know what they fixed and what they changed after the Beta ended. How's the Might Hero's attack animation? How's the loading? Has Inferno been buffed? Has heal been nerfed? Has the AI improved or are they still professional chickens? That's what I wanna know!

Who can you talk about petty things like bugs and game mechanics when Erwan le Breton just said he favors the Dungeon faction

I think it's easier to create a thread for those who played the game, since I doubt anyone who played the game won't say anything about the story.

I still hate the idea that every faction have to be related to a dragon god... I mean, why couldn't they bring H3 Fortrees, for example, with creatures not related to any god. Or why can't they associate more than one faction with the same god?

It's been switched to a remote attack, and it looks decent. (it can be seen in these videos)

I guess we could create a short embargo on storyline discussion or just move it all into one spoileriffic thread when it begins.

So insiders/"VIP fans", I am reading the Q&A atm.
In it Erwan says:

Quote:
The toughest choice was the revised skill system. It was discussed at length with the VIP fans from our private forum, and our first proposal was (justly) discarded in favour of the current system.


Can you tell us something about the old system?

I'm not a VIP, but here's what they've said in a previous Q&A:
Quote:
Listening to users
- This franchise has a host of very enthusiastic and dedicated fans. How do you communicate with the user base?

Julien: - The first thing we did was to create a separate VIP forum for 25 selected fans, writers of Heroes fan sites, people who have created their own content to the game and the like. Here we discuss what they want to see in a new game. Something you should know about the fans of these games is that they are very scattered. You have young and old players, as well as 30 per cent girls. That is a very high number for a strategy game for PC.

Max: - One thing worth noting is that people like this series of widely different reasons, and all have different favorites. Therefore, we have initiated a relationship of trust with the selected group. We showed them among other things an early draft of the skill system, which was much simpler and more like the one in Diablo. The feedback we got was that we missed the series's essence, which are many profound choices and flexibility. So we rejected it.

- You really deleted the whole thing and started all over again?

Max: - Simply! We mixed many of their proposals with the best of our system, and entered into a compromise. Some of the skills you see in the system are in fact direct suggestions from some of our users. We are extremely pleased with their feedback, and have ongoing contact. We have actually flown them over to both gamescom (annual gaming trade show in Cologne, journ.'s note) and this event [Budapest], where we eat dinner together, talk and and let them try the game.
