Posts from 2009 World Championship for Heroes IV Online.

"Am I not being clear enough?", he said, squeezing my neck even tighter )))) Either you're joking, or you think no one reads your posts.

Backroom deals are killing it. Especially this idea with a commission for selecting maps )) Who needs that? A commission, a council, all these words. What's the point of it now? People, let's not stray too far from reality. There are only five of us here. God willing, there will be at least 10, those who actively discuss the Competitive.

Oxy, let's not use sophistry. Okay? Or am I just unaware that in football, there's an editor for fields, balls, and a standard set with add-ons – it's just that no one wants to use them anymore?

Here you go again. Randomness is a matter of chance. You can't test a map with randomness. There will be 2 months to achieve an accurate calculation and a detailed understanding of half of the maps. Even Bizarre can be understood and predicted. In the given time, a sufficient number of new maps will become well-known. So, my position is firm on this.

Online Heroes 4 Tournaments on AS. They create a theme for the tournament, select new maps to match it, and play. Always new maps. Very interesting, and it can't be compared to randomness.

Because not everyone is competent in providing expert evaluations of maps.

If you see an alternative method that will be clearly regulated, then suggest it. But not "by agreement" – that's not serious.

Of course, there is. It's called "backyard football." There, they play with two balls, in one goal without a net, and girls and boys of different ages, builds, and degrees of alcohol intoxication play :D Football is a freeware game; change the configuration as you like. But serious competitions somehow adhere to the same rules. But you wouldn't argue that there are simply tons of opportunities for modification, would you? ;)

...this is a different story, and we are simply not ready for it.

I didn't think you would divide participants into competent and not-so-competent. Here are your strange comparisons with equal teams again. Even Dalai has long stopped awarding expert titles. This is what I'm urging you to do – stop dividing into the wisest and the rest. Look around, there are very few players.

I already wrote. This method is voting.

Really? So, does that mean that next year, the Russian championship could be played on the beach, just because Mutko (or whoever is in charge) wants it to? Of course not. Because serious football competitions do not involve changing the rules back and forth, choosing the type of soil, the size of the fields, or the shape of the balls. But Heroes does involve choosing maps.

So, you've decided for everyone?

Besides, I'm leading the voting process, but the voting should only be for maps that have passed Quality Assurance.

For example, the largest community for the fourth game features Eldorado, and it's not obvious to me how voting could prevent it from being included in the tournament.

In this case, voting doesn't guarantee the quality of the map selection.

Who said that they don't consider it? Where is it written? You're just stating what's familiar, presenting it as some kind of immutable postulate. If we played with a new ball shape every year for about 50 years, it would also become commonplace.

Slow down. Or do I need to add "imo" to every word I say?

Why aim to prevent a map chosen in the Armageddon's Blade from being used in the tournament?

Really? And what is the quality indicator when selecting maps? And why doesn't voting guarantee it?

Well, I asked not to stray from the Heroes topic. Or should we continue discussing football?

Come on. Don't be like that. I hope I don't have to assume that my questions and suggestions can be ignored. There are too many of them. I'm just waiting for the rules.

But it will be ready no later than Sunday.

Hey guys, is it possible to sign up for the World Championship 2009? Sorry if this is off-topic.

By the way, regarding Lescandra. Just so you know.

The French modified it. Personally, I felt a bit uneasy playing the new version, especially with my friend marcel. I don't remember all the changes, but if I'm not mistaken, now before the major and before the prison (which has now disappeared, and instead, a hero simply stands there), there are random and stronger guards. You never know who you'll encounter when you attack. I think there's even a guard of level 4 there... Also, you can immediately see through the mages' window which second town is in the dungeon.

So, what I'm getting at is... the French probably won't want to play the old version. And we'll all have to get used to the new one.

Of course, you can :) Both now and later, until the World Championship starts.

Let us test a new version:smile17: so that it's not boring! Ilya, please provide a link:smile51:

For Mikael

May I ask... so what's the final decision regarding the regulations? Sunday has already passed... Are there at least some approximate deadlines? :)
