From the Team
"Hello Heroes,

It is with a heartbreak we have to announce this very difficult news. Despite all our efforts, we won’t be able to launch the Beta today, as originally planned.

We know this statement is probably as devastating for you as it is for us, so we would like to share with you some transparent information about this situation.

Last week, we identified several issues that were really dangerous for our release: our save/load system had a tendency to corrupt saves under certain conditions; multiplayer was still riddle with desyncs; and finally, we had a very nasty piece of memory leak which halved the performances after an hour or so of gameplay.

We pushed really hard to solve those issues, including this very weekend. We would like by the way to thanks both Limbic and our testers for the overtime they put into this release.

Unfortunately, and despite our best efforts, we could not completely solve those bugs, and today our testers had to let us know that in case of releasing, our players would have faced a much degraded experience.

You might wonder why we hold off until the very last moment to announce this decision. The reason is really simple: we already improved a lot on those issues but unfortunately we didn’t reach the quality we were aiming at. In the meantime, we spent a lot of time agonizing over whenever or not we should release the current build despite its flaws.

Since we know you value (rightfully so!) quality, bug-free and kick ass releases over broken pieces of software, we followed our testers advice and decided to call it a day, despite a heavy heart and a broken promise to you.

As of now, we are already hard at work on our next version. We will make it as good as possible, as we want to present you with a release that makes the quality and the potential of Heroes 7 truly shine. And we hope you will enjoy this game as much we are enjoying ourselves developing it. Well... except for tonight

Now our immediate next steps are towards solving those three big issues and release our Beta as soon as possible. We will keep you posted once we have made some careful calculations before announcing anything.

We understand your frustration and will try to find a way to make it even for your patience. Heroes 7 is really a special title for us and we want it to be a true successor to your favorite series.

Yours truly,
The M&M Team."

From me:
Sorry guys, we really mean it...

nah, i'm fine

in all seriousness though, it's a beta. No one expects it to work perfectly so i don't think anyone would've minded.

Well, I got my laundry done and played some Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen while giving my F5 key a good workout. Time to boot up Heroes III, IV, V, or VI and make it a night.

Good call. Now just keep it transparent and informative untill release and all will be well. I for one both look forward to try out the game, and trust in your dedication.

Laughing my freakin ash off. Just too perfect.

On a more serious note you should really consider delaying the beta a bit longer. I bet most people would be really happy if you pushed it back a couple of weeks but included Stronghold and maybe Necropolis. That way you could ensure that no one is put off by the bad reviews the beta would get if it were full of bugs, and I am willing to bet that most people would have no problem if you gave them a little something extra, ala Stronghold.

Missed one exam, bought Snickers and Red Bulls and, hold your hats folks, I even pre-ordered... for this?!

GREAT!

You did? Really? This seriously surprises me. I guess I should be more open-minded.

if you do mind the beta being unstable, maybe wait 'til the game is finished

or since it's Ubisoft, "finished"

@kiryu133: I wasn't speaking of myself, but of others. And as you can see, I wasn't wrong

Mind you, I'd agree delaying for a better experience is a good move.

This needs to be postponed to a new date. Having people wait in expectation is way worse than delaying it for one more day.

Now this is LOL!!!

I wander why does Verriker come to this forum when he obviously doesn't have one good word about Heroes  VII? What kind of person visits fan forum for the game that he despises to constantly troll and gloat when something goes wrong?

Postponing buggy release is best thing that any responsible company can do. Instead of raging ask yourselves what do you want... half done beta to complain about or polished one at later date  to enjoy?

How about a good Beta for the date it gets announced?

But yea, I don't like it, though I agree with the decision. I just wanted tonight to be good and it ended up in a failure.

I thought you canceled the preorder after they responded to the skillwheel complaints?

I just want to say one thing. You all deserve it :-) There is no word for you. First MM:H6, now beta, later the game itself. You will never learn Drama must go on and fools will stay fools.
