Posts from TE – your opinion.

as for TE – no one plays TE anymore… I mean, not just Peter, but the whole world, so playing on TE is not перспективно – you’ll only be able to participate in internal competitions, which is boring and you won’t get any development as a player. You need to play with the whole world – for example, there are very strong players in China. Even though TE has a lot of useful features, it’s a dead branch.

I remember Horn mentioning that he was once asked by the Chinese about a new version of TE, and they requested an English manual. And someone else, I think it was the Finns, asked as well.

In short, we're all playing on the Test Environment and not banning anything :D:D:D:D:D

although there is a lot of useful information in the TE – but… it’s a dead branch.

No, you’re wrong… on the contrary, it’s developing very rapidly!

No... that's wrong... on the contrary, it's developing very quickly!

:D The promotion of TE is going well; at least two people have already been recruited.

What makes you say that...? I've actually been using the Heroes of Might and Magic TE version for at least 1.5-2 years... so no one recruited anyone, and no one promoted anything...
And as far as I know, Kamikaze also started playing TE a long time ago... so... don't say that =) ;)
And there was no promotion either. There was just an offer to play with players on TE... they want to show how much more convenient TE is ;)

And in general, Captain, you're wrong to say that no one is interested in TE...

If you only participate in internal matches, it will be boring, and you won't develop as a player. You need to play with the whole world.

...this is complete nonsense. Play, for example, with players like Paladin, Forrest, Kobra_SPB, stinger, alex_the_Great (and many others)... and you will understand that after a few games with them, your level will increase (at least, that's how it seems to me)... and significantly (although maybe your level is already high, but...). Because these are players (and I'm not afraid to say it) of WORLD level... =) (and they have proven it)
Sincerely. =)

Okay, you've convinced me :D. After the New Year, I'll try to install Total Equipment. Solely because of one feature – fast troop transfer. I'm already tired of transferring troops in a chain. When you transfer troops through 6-7 heroes, trying to stay within 4 minutes, your hands start shaking and your fingers start twitching by the end of the game :D.

In my opinion, post #1 is pure provocation (it contains too much blatant nonsense). I was going to join the discussion, but I don't engage in provocations. :smile38:

Well, it must be said that SoD is also good; after all, it's more natural to play with spells of the usual level, although I think TE should also be trained.

What is TE? I've been reading about it, but I still don't understand.

TE - tournament edition - this version of Heroes is specifically designed for online games... it has many new features that simplify various processes... which in SOD took up 2/3 of the main time (for example, transferring troops... in TE this can be done with one button)
let's inv=)

SOD is also a good thing... =) in general, all versions are good in their own way=);)

Regarding my first post, I can say that the moderators removed it from my other post without my knowledge and... not entirely. The main point, which I'll repeat because many are sticking to their guns and don't understand, is that few players are active on the "TE" platform. I'm talking about the interesting players – it's hard to even catch them. As a busy person, it's difficult for me to even arrange a game with someone at a specific time. I can log in, open the player list, and message someone... but I have a list of over 200 players. What about "TE"? It's interesting to play with Germans and Poles, but here, half the players don't even know what arena-style tournaments are. They're fixated on one thing: online games according to their rules, and that's it. But there's so much more interesting stuff to discover in the "Heroes" world. So, continue discussing my "provocation."

...namely, that few players play on TE... that dozen or so that there are – I mean interesting players – try to catch them – for example, as a busy person, it’s difficult for me even to agree with someone on a specific time – I can go online, open the player list, and knock on someone’s door... and I have a list of 200 players... but on TE?

IMHO, that’s a strange statement.
And I’ll give you a downvote, great king Navuchodonosor! ;-) From a player and a team member! :-) Because this statement is incorrect. There are enough players playing on TE for you, for me, and for half of this forum. If you personally can’t find them for some reason, I can help, of course, but I won’t even give links to websites that can’t be mentioned, because you know them just as well as I do. :-)

And SoD will die out, at least as a serious platform for the competitive aspect of the game, because it’s standing still, has no development, and has a far from perfect balance for serious games, has bugs, and has an inconvenient interface that slows down the already slow game.

And do you know that WoG, thanks to V. Salnikov and Co., has long been recognized worldwide, the world’s Heroes community plays it – this is a fact! Even during registration for testing at Ubisoft, they ask if you know WoG, if you’ve played it; even they consider this unofficial add-on to be on the same level as RoE, AB, and SoD – healthy competition, you see! SoD won’t exist for much longer, no matter how much you all want it to, because it has been standing still for many years, it has a lot of flaws, bugs, imbalances, an inconvenient, time-consuming interface that doesn’t allow you to play it at a professional, competitive, or simply high level. And WoG and TE, developed on its platform, are precisely developing and complementing SoD, giving players, fans, the opportunity to create the game they need, without depending on “guys filling their own pockets,” to implement TE ideas, to refine the TE imperfections that have been found in Heroes 3 over many years. Please finally understand that, over time, everything will fade away, SoD will be forgotten, just as RoE and AB were forgotten; only Heroes 3 will remain – the immortal ideas of John Van Caneghem, which will be developed, supplemented, refined, and adapted to the realities of the modern gaming world and the demands of TBS by the fans of the Great Game, players, and the entire interested Heroes community, all for whom Heroes is not just a favorite game, and the death of the Game and its ideas is not indifferent to them!

So stop the pointless arguments; I’ve already proven everything to myself; it’s better to...(c)...let time put everything in its place. :-)

P.S. In general, I realized for myself that Heroes 2 is forever ;-), play them; you’re doing pretty well there. :-)

NO!!!
Shades of Darkness will die out only when Heroes 3 dies out – and that will clearly not happen anytime soon...

:D The promotion for TE is going well; at least two people have already been recruited :)

My first tournament on Heroes World was a TE tournament. Last September, Natasha organized it :D. So, we're slowly returning to our roots :smile44:
