Sounds like you wanted an updated clone of the old games. That makes it easy to see why you're feeling disappointed. Tbh I'd be more concerned about game features and whether they work or not than the game failing to copy-paste previous skills.

well, there was a reason why MM6-8 ware so good in the first place, why mm9 sucked, and MMX failed to entertain the community who looked forword for just that.

Hi everyone,

Not sure if it's the right place to post this.

A few months ago I was interviewed by a Russian fan community about Might & Magic, and a few questions revolved around what Might & Magic XI could have been, had it been done. I also talk a bit about the scrapped add-on for MMXL.

The the first part of the interview is now online (entirely in Russian ^^') for those of you interested.

Cheers!
Julien

Yes, we definitely appreciate news from a few months ago that delve into the bottomless depths of what could have been. That's an excellent lifeline to build a community on.

Well, I apologize if it feels like I'm rubbing salt into the wound or something. I can definitely relate to how you feel, since I spent months, sometimes years, working on these canceled projects.

I wish I could come as a bearer of actual news, but as you may know I haven't been involved in Might & Magic projects in more than two years (apart from the occasional "help us brainstorm some creature names" for Elemental Guardians, and even that hasn't happened in a while), so if there was anything meaningful to announce, it wouldn't come from me, and probably not as a mere forum post.

I'm not implying ill intent here, it's just disheartening that what I get lately is stuff like this. First it was the stillborn Showdown game, then it was the what could have been for Duel of Champions 2, then Erwan's interview for what went wrong with Heroes 7, and now this. I have nothing that keeps me hanging for Might & Magic if that's the sort of feed as of late.

I've been expecting to hear about a promising and ambitious large scale project in the works for a long time now, how about something like that? But if the best Ubisoft can offer now is some mobile games for the Chinese market, then I am truly sorry and disappointed because that's not cutting it at all.

No chance Stevie. If Blizzard is killing off its reputation/IP's courtesy of mobile gaming, there is no chance Ubisoft will bring back something as archaic as Heroes games in this day and age. Games like Guardians is the only thing you'll get. This and maybe some dumbed down digital card game offshoot.

Thanks for posting the interview marzhin. I remember MMX fondly and a sequel would have been most welcome. Ashan setting seemed to work better for this kind of game rather than for heroes, it had a better atmosphere and the classes were better tailored to their faction's gameplay. MMXI, DM2 and doc2 were all titles I'd like to see.

No need to be so bitter stevie. We all would love to hear of a good heroes-like game but it's not like it would come from ubi.. Might & magic news are more likely to give you a laugh or an eyeroll at this point.

Not bitter, I'm just pointing the elephant in the room. Needless to say I enjoyed MMX a lot and replayed it and hold Marzhin in the highest regard out of everyone in the Ubisoft team for his contribution and recently for this interview.

I actually liked MMX a bit. Just didn't think it had any replayability. But what I really wanted to hear was something like MMXI getting back to the M6-8 feel. 9 was simpy dreadful.

I loved MMX very much, although it took me some times + material improvement + a little modding to make it perfect

I also received a poll back then, asking me waht I would like to see in MMXI, and still wonder what was the point if nothing followed ?

A bit late to the party, but that interview was a good read.
I really liked MMX, and the expansion stuff mentioned sounds kinda perfect and would likely made the game a tad more rich and replay-able.
I would say it had the issue of being hard on hardware requirements to work smoothly, but once properly equipped, the game was joy.

As for heroes 6, i think one cannot undervalue the Conflux issue. It essentialy meant a dead game as soon as conflux support ends, something that prior releases wouldn't need to worry about.

I believe heroes 7 game-systems, with heroes 6 budget and art design, would made a great game, and good sequel to really solid H5. This way, we got 2 games that suffer on different angles.

Conflux will never end support, they also keep working on some issues like "why does the conflux and Uplay stop being synchronized when the conflux is updated"

HOMM7 was dead before the start, not learning any lesson and doing wrong diagnoses, going fast backward on the gameplay into a wall that was supposed to be far behind...

It seems online services support is ending for this game.
While description is short, it still leaves me confused. From what i gather, all online rewards (that you unlocked) will become permanently disabled (including artifact sets, extra NPCs). So if one wants to play the game with all content, they should do it before 1st of July.

Platform Game Effective Date
PC Might & Magic – Clash of Heroes June 1st 2021
PC Might & Magic X - Legacy June 1st 2021

. The multiplayer online services for the title will be shut down but the solo features will remain available.
2. Any In-game News and Player Stats services will be shut down.*
3. If the game is Ubisoft Connect-enabled:*
The Ubisoft Connect service will no longer be available for the game on consoles.
Units (the Ubisoft Connect currency) and Actions for the game will be disabled, meaning you will no longer be able to earn Units by completing Actions for the game.
Rewards will be disabled in-game, meaning that you can still unlock them, but you will not receive them. If you unlock them after the closure of the online service for the game, please feel free to contact our Customer Support team to be refunded.

4. The ULC will be disabled, meaning that you will no longer be able to unlock them. On PC, even if you have redeemed them, the ULC will no longer be available. On consoles, the ULC will be available until you decide to reset your saved game files.*
5. Players having in-game currency should use it within the 60 days period. There won’t be any refund on unused in-game currency.*

I didn't even realize there were any single online component in MMX... so why bother ?

Still remembering this game fondly. Definitely worth a playthrough. Quite sad they're shutting down online services.

I'd been wondering when that would happen for H6 and make it completely unplayable but I didn't think of MMX. Disgraceful.

Even the DLC that people paid for. Ok.
