Poll Question:
What do you want to know most about the game?

Finally there's movement and I can post this with impunity

You may already have seen the thread at the official forums addressing the recent mess - the Ubisoft developers openly acknowledge that there hasn't been stellar communication on the project lately, and that the recent criticism is very valid. They see that it is getting serious and really want to address this issue, so they have have directly asked us to let them know what the fans want to see most at this point.

No better way to finding out than by asking What do you want to see?

Long story short, we were unanimous in telling them that videos of the gameplay would be greatly welcome at this point (when the game is released we aren't going to be playing art and blogs and screenshots, after all), but maybe you'd prioritise things differently.

Either way, I think we can be assured that there will be less boothbabes and Harry Potter, and more game content revealed

For the purposes of the poll, I shamelessly copied Znork's options, but please don't restrict yourself to those choices: leave comments and elaborate on your viewpoint/vote. Everything will be read. Keep in mind that combat is the first topic they're going to tackle in updates.

Game mechanics. I think its worth discussing when there's still time. And reveal of the fifth faction would also be welcome, in my opinion there's no point in hiding it any longer since we are pretty close to the release.

Same as Radar, Game mechanics as a priority. Some tidbits about factions (screenshots, city screens, heroes), creatures (screenies and abilities).

I would have loved a blog, but back in August 2010 when the game was announced.

The fifth race
I'm ofc hyped about all of this but, in my heart I know that I want to see the fifth faction the most.

But I'm extremly intrested in the Skill system as well since it will be more of a changed from the previous titles. SO in that aspect it is of greater value then the 5th faction. :/

As I have already said in the discussion thread. Please, please post a huge video featuring as many of this things at once.
You can go though the skill system, gameplay AND the fifth faction in the same video.

The fifth race.

We've known so little about the other aspects of the game that I seriously want them to finish this part first, them we can move to game mechanic and such topics. And please, in game high resolution footage and screenshots, not only artwork. Or I will seriously make a tabletop RPG before we can see how the models look like in game, because that is the only actual use I see for concept art.

Skill system definitely. Now we have 1 unique racial and 2 unique skill for advance class both might and magic hero making them 5 unique skill per faction. I am hyped about this a lot.

5th would be a great revelation as well but Skill for me.

Gameplay videos. As much as I want to see the 5th faction, I actually want to see some of the newer features in H6 in action. Plus i'd like to see some creatures in the finished product, as they can only show so much of a creature with the concept art.

Gameplay videos! I want to see how the game actually looks like and feels!
They should do it Starcraft 2 beta style. In Starcraft 2s beta, Blizzard actually release full matches that they narrated. It would be AMAZING to see a whole map narrated by the developers.

Seriously, we have seen all the Stronghold creatures in-game but not one single Inferno creature screenshot! A video that showed a map played by an Inferno hero would have been great.

When the 5th race is released, we will just get some screenshots and concepts of Naga and various aquatic creatures so I'm not really interested in that compared to seeing actual gameplay.

Honestly, the game is supposed to come out in March already so there are TONS of thing they could announche to hype it up.

It was also a huge mistake to not release creature infos for Stronghold like they had for the other three factions. That really built up some hype and created lots of dicussions in the community.

But yeah, in my opinion seeing actual gameplay would be the most important thing.

Battle Reports for Heroes 6?
That sounds awesome, and a video would really be the best since they then can go through so much of all the new features. It would really be great to see an actual game in Heroes. kinda sad with only 3 months left and we haven seen much at all when it comes to gameplay footage.

So once again a gamplay video featuring the 5th faction

it was a tough call for me, but I voted skill system a faction that I don't like or even a faction concept I love doesn't effect whether I play the game as much as the game mechanics would I want to know more specifically how the system works.

Details of the gameplay which is different to all the other heroes games -

1. Skill system which is not random

2. Spell system & how one gets spells since mage guilds are now different

3. Pools of 3 equivalent core/elite units: how will they work because what's to stop me buying all shooters plus few shielders/blockers for creeping in every single game? [thus placing different importance to supposedly equivalent units]

4. If different to H3, how will morale & luck work?

These are big departures from the other heroes games & thus I think much MORE WORK to get right for balance & avoid same actions every game...but I doubt these details will be sorted until right up near the end unfortunately.

I dont care what other factions there are, I've already guessed 4 different styles which must be balanced carefully:
defence oriented, attack oriented, magic oriented, rage/different magic oriented.

I hope there will be a comprehensive manual like H5 fan manual which details all the mechanics & calcs - it sux to guess what each skill does without knowing exact effects & pre-requisites & effects on future choices.

Since it's back to one action per turn for all creatures, I don't need the atb bar either  -> I'd rather see a small number next to creature telling me order of creature's actions (like in King's Bounty), because I can more easily relate order of creature turn & its location on the battlefield.

Otherwise I have to scroll back & forth on atb bar & then try to relate that to where the creature is on battlefield & things around it.

Game mechanics/gameplay videos. But not like "X Vampires hit Y Griffins and do Z damage" - real stuff telling us about the game itself and what's new. In short - all this "we'll talk about this soon"-thing that's been hanging around for months.
