| Author | Is this game stagnant? |
|---|
I feel little disappointed with the progress of this game.
We can see that this game is start to be stagnant.
No new feature for about 2 months and the number of player who are active in the same time doesn't increase significantly.
Look at the number at upper left. We have reach 1000 online about 2 months ago.
Now, it still about 1000.
If more and more people come to play this game, now it should be around 1500 people play this game.
I refer this game in game forum in my country.
14 people join this game by my referrer but only 1 player who play until now. 11 people already stop even before reach level , 2 people reach level 2 then stop.
Question for players:
Is this game too hard to play?
Is this game too time consuming?
Question for Developer:
Are they stop developing this game?
Are the donation isn't quite enough so they stop developing this game?
Are they bored with this game?
This game is great, really great.
I don't want this game to stop getting better. | Is this game too hard to play? For noobs and those, who didn't play any HOMM games - yes
Is this game too time consuming? As any other online game
And I can say, that admins returned to geme.. just give them some days | Same goes with me, 20 invited player, only one still play until now and reached lv 5.
Others... stopped at lv1 and lv2.
Sigh...
I felt the same with SpecialOne, this game has no upgrade, so far we just have one tournament. | 1
Looak on the .ru server.)) It`s quite obvious, that they`re busy with it now...maybe they prepare a dwarves` war.
And I ask me now, though, why the new improvements and innovations weren`t transferred to this server also...
this is a question... | http://www.heroeswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1832843
better wait for 1 of those :D | for SpecialOne:
Question for players:
Is this game too hard to play?
Is this game too time consuming?
This game is brain consuming. As my work also need brains it's better to play another game for me. But it is hard to find not brain consuming game with my internet, so I'm still here (and also to learn english). There are few people who want to exploit their brains all just want to have fun. This game is like the chess, but better. In yahoo games there are even fewer people who play chess, so I don't think 1000 is bad result.
Question for Developer:
Are they stop developing this game?
On .ru server they conduct second unusual tournament with several new creatures introduced. So they are developing game. By the way, this game exists more then one year. As for me, I don't want this game to be very complex with many things needed to know. But they are going to create new factions... Better to create things that can be skipped like the card game. | for SpecialOne:

What saying those who stop playing? | | I believe that any form of an official anoucement would liven the game and give players hope. In a customer service point of view, it would be an excellent idea. Even if dates for improvements are not included. Also, a 5% gold bonus weekend , or 10% huunter spawn increase weekend, something like that would be also great. There are many things that can easily be done to boost morale for us players. But the fact that there has been no news or announcements can send doubt throughout the game. Anything is always better then nothing. | for Ravanik:

see post 5 | 7.

What is this mean? I don't understand.

That's very good, Ravanik.
We need something new for refreshment.
This even harder for upper level. In lower level, we can level up only in few days so we got something new only in few days.
The problem is when someone has reach level 5, it need weeks (for not so active player) to level up again.
At that moment, no new thing will happen and that person can get bored and stop playing. | | I have read that , and that was 4 months ago.... and not a single post about anything since. I would consider that bad for any game. Imagine if any online MMORPG did that. Look at DDO and its losing big customers BIG TIME! Why? Stale content , high levels tired of doing the same thing over and over again. Trust me , I am one, played for 2 years , have over 6 characters max level. My whole guild of 50 people quit playing within a 3 month span. And that is just our guild. Merged 8 servers into 4 after creating a couple about a year earlier. Everything goes up hill fast , but crashes even faster. Have to anticipate and do everything you can to prevent it. You lose customers, you lose money , you lose money , you lose the ability to pay people to expand , you lose expansion , they lose all interest. | for SpecialOne:

Maybe you know what are saying those 13 people who have stopped playing?

Yes, it's the market. But still there are people who are playing in the chess. Though the chess don't change. | | I hope to something new before Christmas! That is minimum! | for Ravanik:
I play four days in a month and I have not had time yet to look at the card game and I think maybe I won't. I have enough things to learn beside games rules. If this game became to complex it is bad too. I the chess you need to learn many, many beginnings and then you repeat learned moves in every game. I'm like that I don't need do this here. What I dislike is bad balance and no ladder system. If it will be done I agree doing the same thing over and over again. | [1] threadstarter, I agree with you, but the questions you ask don't lead you to the answer
The real reason is the quality of gameplay provided. This game offers a very poor gaming experience. Only the die-hard fans will stay.
So what do i mean by quality of gameplay provided?
- Poor PvE implementation
PvE hunts lack variety. There is only 1 creature type. How exciting? Helpers get 0 xp, but why? Developers must be consistant. If you kill a monster, you must get the same amt of xp. Why do you gain xp for some occasions, and on others you don't? Are developers trying to slow us down from levelling up?
[To improve:] Make the Merc Quests a 2v1 PvE. Different monsters at a setting, with an enemy hero. Lets compete, see which factions can cooperate better to kill most monsters! And have a scoreboard! Lets allow people to create games whenever they want, instead of putting a lame time limit.
- Finding a good PvP battle is difficult
Experienced players know the outcome before the game is played. 1000 people are preying to get winning slots. Nobody wants to join losing battles. Although you see 10 group battles, you can only join 1 or 2 due to level restriction. And these 1 or 2 are usually unfair matches, so you end up not joining.
Thats why Random 3v3's are snapped up really quickly. Its the only shot for a fair match. In spite of this, some lamers still AFK in 3v3 randoms.
[To improve:] 10% XP Bonus to people who are enterprising enough to start fair matches?
30% XP deduction to match creator, if the system detects an attempt to create an unfair match? e.g. 3v3 5-5 vs 4-5
- AFK (and skill pts argument)
AFK is still a huge problem. Please cut the crap on the skill points argument. There have been people who admit they AFK because they are on a losing side. If skill pts really mattered to them, they would have tried to kill as many monsters as possible before losing.
[To improve:] More xp to losing team
- Spending 1 hr on a losing 3v3 match yields little to no reward
I still feel strongly that more xp should be given to losing teams, for their precious time and effort being actively online in this game.
[To improve:] More xp to losing team
- New players have a hard time and quit
After losing countless times and joining unfair matches, inexperienced players get frustrated.
[7] If the ID number of people keep increasing, but the number of people online remains fixed, it means the people joining = the people quitting
- Mods don't care
Moderators attempt to explain game rules without concern for morals and values. Their replies are cold and calculating. E.g. They do not care if someone wore arts to a no-arts match. They give unsatisfactory replies "he is not breaking the rules. topic closed.", and are non-apologetic. But nobody wants to hear that crap! Totally no service quality. If I were a mod, i would have replied "i'm sorry that happened. i have no power to punish him. but i'll send a note to give that guy a warning."
If you don't care, people can't be bothered to complain anymore. Since what we say, will never be taken seriously. People will leave this game.
Even if its not in the rules, it will destroy any interest/value/gameplay due to imbalance. Don't you get it, mods?
- Thieves Guild: No value in ambushes
Just another unfair battle to waste people's precious time. Well intentioned, but poorly implemented.
- Incompetant moderators
Some moderators create very poor post in forums, and get countered. They are incapable of defending their arguments. So they delete posts that reveal their lack of intelligence. They type their final say, and quickly close the post and run away so that no one else can reply/object/counter their lame argument. They also collect 30k gold per month to doing this poor job? Why reward incompetancy?
- Future Improvements do not deal with core gameplay issues

About - Mods don't care
i wanted to agree with you and show this side to ppl to prove that you are right... modes not even where cold and calculated but even deleted most posts

Give me the names ) | | The biggest problem of the game is lack of high-end content. There is simply nothing to do when you reach level 13 , developers could rise levels up to 8796707 that wont change anything though. |
