There are very few players, although even fewer final save files.
With this situation, who would want to take on the organization?

Bad... And why aren't they needed?

Because everyone wants to play before the tournament starts. But once the tournament has begun, there's no one around.

Then why do people play on the portal?

Probably because of the various virtual rewards, the cumulative annual rating, the titles – everyone seems to find something for themselves. On World of Xeen, only the first-place winner receives a reward; perhaps most people realize that they can't compete with someone like Dirty Player and give up right away. I personally really like all the tournaments organized by this sir, and I would gladly participate if the opportunity arises, if only because the selection (creation and design) of maps is always top-notch!

Do you need tournaments or just to play on HotA? If you feel comfortable playing among your acquaintances, go to the Portal, and after a while, you'll feel more at ease... :)

Most of the strong HotA players have adapted well to the Portal; everything is set up at a high level – what's the problem? Right now, there are three tournaments going on in the triple format – all the maps are simply masterpieces... and the motivation and competition are at a high level... Why reinvent the wheel? )))

So, we'll have to get used to the portal. Otherwise, the fact that HeroesWorld has no offline mode will be bad publicity.

So, we’ll have to get used to the portal. Otherwise, the fact that there is no offline mode on ХВ will be bad publicity.

Here, for example, was a tournament, the last (non-joint) ХВ tournament:
/topic/6891/
11 people participated, and I think the tournament was successful. Isn't that ridiculous? And some individuals who are asking for offline tournaments said that the map isn't beautiful and they won't play. Wouldn't it be better to replay the map of an already finished tournament another 10 times? Right?

Preparing a map for a tournament is not easy and takes time. In terms of quorum, we can't compete with the portal, so people who want to play should do it there. Personally, I've moved away from Heroes myself, but maybe I'll manage to create one more map by summer… I don't know.

but maybe I'll have enough time to create another map by summer... I don't know.

Well, I can also try to make a good map!
But if mine is chosen, I want to participate in that tournament too. Anyway, there's nothing to hide on it :) and what I know, everyone will know. So, I don't think I'll have any advantage. And a month will be enough to complete it.

So, if there's a shortage of maps, I can help.

they said the map wasn't beautiful and they wouldn't play it

well, because that map is really not beautiful! Just snow all around, as far as I remember. Beautiful landscapes are pleasing to the eye, and I can create such maps.

Wouldn't it be better to replay the map of the tournament that has already ended 10 more times?

The map that I replayed was really the BEST. I especially appreciated this when I completed it right after the tournament ended, because I didn't have enough time to complete it in the best way (in time). The only downside is that it took 4 days to complete the anti-magic garrison, but everything else is a masterpiece of world map-making.

Well, because this map is truly ugly! Just snow everywhere, as far as I remember. The eye prefers beautiful landscapes, and I can make plenty of such maps.

Some people don't like the snow, others the size, others something else... That's why there's no offline activity on HeroesWorld. And the issue here isn't the map, but the number of interested people. And I don't know how to get people interested. I don't understand why we should hold joint tournaments if out of 30 HeroesWorld saves, only 4-5 at most are submitted? :confused:

People are really playing! 10 people is also a competition. And you could come up with all sorts of bonuses to make it more interesting, for example, the ability to play with one of the suggested artifacts, or with some monsters.

Well, people do play it! 10 players is still a competition. And you could come up with various bonuses to make it more interesting, for example the ability to play with one of the offered artifacts, or with some monsters.

To implement something like that in practice, you would have to change the entire HeroesWorld system and create something portal-like. If that didn't happen during HeroesWorld's heyday, it certainly won't happen now. The only way to attract people is through sponsors, but they're nowhere to be seen.

I don't understand why hold joint tournaments if only 4-5 out of 30 Portal players participate? :confused:

The goal of the joint tournaments wasn't to determine who is stronger - HP or HW. There was a single final table - without separating players by their location. The goal was to attract a slightly larger number of players... Even if it's just "4-5 maximum"... And who are the "Portal players" and how do they differ from the "HW players"? Some of the leading figures on the Portal - DmitryAS, Radik_Lych (Radik), LeverPunch (Vanechka) - are actually from HW... )) I, for example, started playing on the Portal, and came to HW because the sense of community is much higher here - I found many friends, including in real life... But I continue to play on HP because the heroes themselves are important to me... True fans of the HMM world shouldn't divide the two leading hero communities in the Russian-speaking internet... There can't be competition here - each world is interesting in its own way. Come visit! ))

But why do people play on the Portal then?

Tolikandro, I think you're right.

On the Portal, no matter what place you take, you won't be upset. You get a virtual reward that will be useful to you. It's worthwhile to play in tournaments.
On World of Xeen, any place other than first is a failure. :) And not everyone can take first place.

Could you please tell me how I can participate in a tournament? And generally, is it worth playing for me? After watching a couple of videos, I realized how much of a noob I am.

Apparently, there's no way to play online, as there's no one to respond. I might even try my hand at offline play, although the skill level is obviously very low.
