Sorry guys, but I just HAVE to complain and I hope it will be heard by somebody from Ubisoft. Why did they change the name of Krzysztof again? Now its Krystoff? Why all of the Slavic names have to be Russian? What about Czech, Polish or Lithuanian names?

Hi All,
I tried a beta-demo on two different hardwares. On my old computer: Q6600 4 core processor Geforce 450gtx +4gigs DD3 rams, and it is unplayable. I switched to my GF's notebook: I7, 12 gigs of DDR3 and Geforce860 GTX, and the problem is that beta didn't rekognize the seondary videocard. In the options it was not possible to change. So i put the game into max settings, but i think the graphic is still awfull. Probably many of you will curse me, but i personally think the art and graphic of H6 was way better. The UI interface is terrible, so are the the marks and flags on the adventure map. The textures are not the best at many places. Seriously this graphic style was ok 4-5 years ago, but now? We are even not talking that beta eats RAM for breakfast, so I dont think that they will fix all the issue 'till september. Honestly I excepted more, and more optimalised beta. I was very disappointed about the visuals. And we are not talking about bugs here.Everywhere you can feel the low-budget thing. You can throw on me rocks, but I think in this term H6 was way better. No offense

Also, your hero needs to learn the Novice rank of a magic school to be able to learn level 2 spells from that school. At least in H5, level 2 spells were still free for all to learn.
Trade-off is that H5 had 5 levels of spells, while H7 only has 4.

If I understood correctly, you will have to change this under Windows. It's probably set to use the onboard videocard as default, rather than the GTX that's also inside the machine. At least, if I understand the configuration correctly as you describe it, that the laptop has 2 video cards on board?

By reading these early impressions and watching the screenshots, the whole thing reeks of "cheapness".

True  .
Let's compare a combat from H6 with one from H7:
6 appears to be more zoomed in with less emphasis on the surroundings, even though there is eye for detail there. Of course, these are but random combat screens. There are more terrains in H6, each with a specific detailed combat map. Note the green tiles, and the similarities between them. Other differences speak for themselves, no doubt.
The H6 screenshot was made only a handful of moments ago, but what a bliss...such a smooth-running game, fast, no glitches, HEAVEN. Love it.

Thx Maurice,
i got this info also from different forums, I will try to set it tonight. I hope it will change my opinion about the visuals a bit. It's also makes me sad, that I have to buy new computer if I want to play the game. At least H6 ran perfectly on my old machine. By the way AI's turn is incredibile slow.

It looks good but harms gameplay. Would like a setting that could fix this personally.

As I had hoped.
Only the Manticore remains absent. Probably relegated to a Neutral / non-city faction unit.

The most LOL is that enemy hero is also surrounded by walls and buildings. Where UBI seen such "siege" (or town design)?

M'am, bug-hunting is ongoing. I can report beta release is, and i quote, "A buggy mess". over.
Roger that captain kiryu133!
As expected the current build is infested with disgusting bugs. Proceed with pushing the limits of the beta equipment and the testers under your command. The fruits of your hard work will be the ones feeding us tomorrow and providing us with a stable foundation for the years of happiness that surely awaits us in the end. The only way is forward!
Yours truly,

Right-click on the .exe file of the H7-beta (locating it is not easy; I think it's in the Uplay folder). The menu that opens will allow to set the graphics adapter (same thing with me, but I knew the problem already).

Why there is a need for many layers, if enemy easily passes them all?

From the SC, I present another point of attention:
"The Disciple's Nova-ability can be used every turn without cooldown, and even twice in a row in the case of good morale. This is OP'd, either reduce the amount of prime damage (at 28 in a stack this is already enough to deal heavy damage) or include some kind of cooldown."
You can just basically keep your Disciples where they are and blast enemy creatures in a 3x3 area to oblivion every time.
