even here, they started arguing:D

It’s just boring on the forum; we also lack such fun outbursts like in Heroes 7 :D

In my opinion, the most interesting thing in Heroes is the engaging competition, which is practically absent in today's streams. They eat, meet, compare their skills, and that's it.

Even on M-maps, an interesting competition can emerge, and the result of one game doesn't determine anything. That's why I don't understand why players are so afraid to play on small maps; I hope the situation will change in Heroes VII, and with the new generator, a new strategic M-template will appear, leading to good, exciting tournaments on it. Double streams would also be great.

I sincerely feel sorry for people like Leader, who regret the "pointlessly spent" time on Heroes. Personally, I consider this game to be an excellent way to spend time, not only providing fun but also giving a real workout for the mind and inspiring creativity and other activities. It's better than most books. Or do these people believe that if it weren't for Heroes, they would have learned 5 languages, learned to code at a professional level, and gotten a job at Google for 100+K dollars a year, etc.? Come on, you're kidding me. 90+% of that time would have been spent drinking beer on the couch in front of the TV (hypothetically). And that's a real degradation of personality. I've talked to both Heroes players and Dota players, just as an aside about RTS games. I think it's clear without further explanation whose average level is much higher. Heroes 3 is, in general, 100% an elite form of esports, even if many don't consider it esports at all. To talk about professionalism solely in terms of money is just plain foolish! So, an unknown opera singer working in a theater for peanuts is NOT a professional, but Max Korzh is a professional??? Well, if that's your opinion, then goodbye. Heroes is like opera, and that's what I'm getting at. This kind of activity cannot be popular; it's for the chosen few, for those few who are above a certain level.

"I haven't logged in for two years, and it's not working. And you guys are just moving your horses around?" :smile23:

"I haven't logged in for two years, and it's not working. And you guys are just obsessed with moving horses around?"

:smile23:

A clear sign of withdrawal symptoms.

I sincerely feel sorry for people like Leader, who regret the "pointlessly spent" time playing Heroes.

Actually, he is right in many ways. Not entirely, of course, but in many ways... About 50%. IMHO.

Epicurus was right when he said: "Tomorrow you will die." We will all die tomorrow. If you can calmly play Heroes, knowing that you will die tomorrow, then everything is fine :)

I get it! "Former" Heroes players are just Heroes players who never learned to play decently after thousands of hours.

Probably the question is what "decently" means? I think I learned to play "decently." But that's not the point. — What did it give me?

And there's no need to blame the generator, it gives to both sides! Find another balanced game that is just as interesting, and we'll see :smile54:

I know. One has 4 cons at the respawn, and the other has obelisks and an external dwelling for griffons. And about distance, it will all come back (it will show who's the boss) and the rest is blah-blah.
As for other games, the point is to kill an hour or two when, for example, you're waiting for something, and not to spend day after day on a game.

even here they started an argument:D

It just got boring, so I threw it in :D

I sincerely feel sorry for people like Leader, who regret the "meaninglessly spent" time on Heroes.

Likewise, Lizard. When you turn 40, you'll look at your life and what have you done? You've been playing Heroes all the time. Well done.

I've talked to both Heroes players and Dota players, just to say about RTS. I think it's clear without further words that the average level is much higher.

And how are you better than that same Dota player who, like you, grinds for hours on end?? And how will your "intellectuality, chosenness, elitism" due to belonging to the game be useful in real life? These skills, like taking cons with single units or breaking the GO, will remain exclusively within the game. Outside of it, it's useless crap that no one needs. It has no practical use. Even for you.
Even a plumber, welder, or electrician is more useful than you, with your Heroes.

Better than most books.

Haha))) write more)) so you're developing spiritually in Heroes?)) And you don't need books (or almost don't need them) because the game gives you more. Clear, you're so intellectual))
Indeed, spending time on this is an unaffordable luxury, because there's so much time needed for the game!

Or these people are sure that if it weren't for Heroes, they would have learned 5 languages, learned to write code at a pro level, and got a job at Google for 100+K a year, etc.?

My life would definitely have turned out differently if it weren't for this game. I don't need 5 languages, but I could have made 30k a year without Google, but we're not talking about my specific story here.

Talking about professionalism exclusively in terms of money is where the stupidity lies! That is, an unknown opera singer working in a theater for little money is NOT a professional, but Max Korzh is a professional???

Well, it's like amateur and professional boxing. The first one fights for medals, and the second one already fights for money. But you can just consider yourself an artist. A man of art)))

Heroes is an opera, that's what I mean.

Yeah, and you're the main soloist. You've proven so much to everyone in this virtual world, and it's sooooo important to everyone. Maybe even to those who are in it?
(by the way, how much are the deals now?)

This kind of activity cannot be popular, it is for the chosen ones, for those few who are above a certain level.

Here I just burst out laughing, how so, "the elite." Chosen one)) Neo, haha)). Open your eyes! What have you come up with.
You're dependent on the cons and you're delusional.

"haven't logged in for two years and it's not fun anymore. and you guys are losers, all moving the horses?"

:smile23:

Something like that :)

an obvious sign of withdrawal )))

Yes, yes, you figured it out))
That's all I think about :D

///
Move it to the tribune, it's just rambling.

This is where I just burst out laughing at how he calls himself the "elite." Chosen one, haha. Open your eyes! What have you come up with?
You're dependent on the horses and you're delusional.

This is closer to the point, but when we know that we are dependent, we are no longer dependent, so we can continue playing (but with this knowledge, on a new level) :)

Likewise, Lizard. When you turn 40, you'll look back at your life and wonder what you did. You spent all your time playing Heroes. Well done.

When you turn 60, you'll look back at your life and wonder what you did. You earned 30K a year... there won't be much to remember.

I've noticed for a long time that the most cheerful and content old people were those who were young and carefree, lovers of all sorts of adventures. And they remember not work, but something like: "We once drank 200 grams each with Vovts and flew in a helicopter to scare mountain goats, we crashed the helicopter, of course, and then we walked for two days to get back to base."

So, work and money are important and useful, but the meaning of life is not reduced to them.

look at your life

And where is my life?

"Me and my life." Who is this "me"? And what is "my life"?

If you look closely, you will see that there is no "your life," you are life itself.

What should it be spent on? First, it cannot be spent. When you know that you are life, it no longer has the same meaning; you can do anything.

There are people who spend their whole lives flitting from one thing to another and constantly changing their opinions drastically; you shouldn't emulate them, and you shouldn't listen to what they say either. As for the speaker mentioned above, I just get a headache listening to him.

Hmm... A heated debate? And without me?..
Everything is good in moderation. I really don't see why a noble gentleman shouldn't dedicate an evening or two to his favorite game. And if you approach it with a measured approach, and I say this as an expert in the field of gambling, if you don't let emotions take control of your mind, then you can get a lot of good out of Heroes. Because what is Heroes? Heroes is a one-time consideration of a very large number of factors, including random and probabilistic ones. It's a game of operational modeling and operational prioritization. Therefore, it's useful for managers to play Heroes from time to time. :smile50:
But only from time to time. Because when a person starts playing every day, the game ends, and the harsh reality of a gambling addict begins. When a person takes time away from family and children for the sake of the game, that's gambling addiction. When a person is willing to resort to underhanded tactics for the sake of the game, that's gambling addiction. :smile41:
But the games themselves – not just Heroes, but in general – are aimed at forming and developing certain skills. And this applies not only to humans but also to many other animals. And the game form of learning is the most effective.
Not so long ago, at a seminar on cerebral palsy, I latched onto a thought that was expressed and immediately extrapolated it to my own observations. So, it was said that there are two different types of activity: "emotionally rich" and "monotonously routine." And different areas of the brain are responsible for these types of activity. When applied to people with health problems, there are cases where one of these two areas is unable to function correctly. And then the task boils down to transferring activity from one type to another.
But I thought about this as a professional manager. One of the main functions of management is motivation. After all, for most people, emotionally rich activities have a relatively higher priority. And the game is a very powerful motivational component.
So, after three years of not playing Heroes at all, I decided to play again. What does it give me? An emotional outlet. But strictly in moderation. Without harming my life. That is, personally, Heroes now motivate me to live, if you will... :smile13:

Okay! Merlin urgently needs a new bandage!!!
