Expansion pack for Heroes VI pretty soon! | Forums

I dunno, I'd say give it a chance and see what comes of it before griping about it. Complaining about something that hasn't happened yet seems kind of silly to me, but perhaps thats just me. And I have to agree with KingImp. With TOE, Heroes V went from being a good game to an amazing game, so here's hoping the same can happen for number 6.

I don't think they are going release "pretty soon" it's just one way to spress they are working on the game.
It's could take few years or maybe months before they release it.

The bugs are almost all clean, I don't know you guys, but I'm REALLY want to play with Elvens (slylavan) and Wizards (Academy) with this new system... I can't wait for this release... =)

I posted I short list of things I would like to see in an expansion on the previous page, you should do the same.

I still dont understand why you guys keep bringing ToE into this discussion, are you both seriously comparing a small team(because that's more or less what limbic has working on this game) who has to pick up where someone else left off and are having a hard time as it is with just PATCHING the game to a large team who has made both the original game and another MEDIOCRE(because that's what most people seem to consider Hammers of Fate and i see everyone just skips over this part) before they got that perfect expansion that made the game amazing. Also i'm not complaining about anything, i'm just saying that, with the history this title has up until this moment, do it in baby steps, dont ask them to jump to expansions when even "major" changes to gameplay could beyond their reach at this point(as was admitted in the last Q&A).

P.S But hey, in the end they can do whatever they want, i hope you guys get your expansion, i know i wont buy it, but i'l sure have fun watching the rage on the forums if it's as many problems as the original at launch or if it brakes the game more

I would like in an expansion that Barbarian heroes lose the magic abilities (like H4 or H5). Make them WARRIORS . Warcries, like in H5, are still good. But that should be all. Or something even MORE "warrior-like": no warcries, no spells and give the Barbarian hero two attacks per turn. They should use brute force and some magic resistance. In the wilderness you don't learn about magic, you don't have universities or mage guilds.

You cant honestly say you expect these guys, who are forced to work over someone else's work and are having a hard time(i'm not saying that they are bad at it or anything just that it's hard for them to do) with patches can put out a perfect expansion like ToE was, lets be honest here, it's more likely that an expansion will do, in this case, exactly what i said, I would rather have them fix the game rather than try to sell me an expansion, which i wont buy anyway if they leave the game as it is to work on said expansion and i doubt i'm the only one who thinks this way.

No, I don't expect this Limbic to put out some great expansion like TOTE, but right now we don't even know what state the expansion(s) are in. There are two possible scenarios here.
1) Did BH even start them? If so, are they close to finished and Limbic just has to polish them up?
2) Has no work been done on any expansion(s) and they have to be started from scratch?

If it's #1, then I'm more optimistic. If it's #2, then as far as I'm concerned this game is dead.

This is really fantastic news, I can't wait for it, here is what I would like to see:

-more class specialization abilities and branches, both for magic and might, like summoning, destruction, debuff, 2 spells per turn but like in Armored Princess so it is balanced, new awesome synergetic might abilities and so on

-no new races, really 5 races is more than enough, but upgrade races with new units(1 per race) but please NO MORE FEMALE UNITS ANYWHERE(you really went overboard with that one)!

-sharpen the shadows and make them so they don't overlap with edges, this is the only thing that visually needs to be fixed

-fix this HUGE BUG

-add champion neutral creatures, which would work in conjunction with each race, but once again, no female creatures

-keep hiring Puppet Studio, they make the best animations!

-ability for each hero to get a different mount(other than horse), which would grant special attributes

-better looking cities, Haven cities especially look extremely basic

Adding to that would be tier 3 might ability in tactics tree which would give you a view of your enemy army before you arrange your troops. And perhaps some additional synergy with other might abilities in the same one.

I'd say that, if that post made by the "BH employee" was true, it's highly unlikely they started work on any expansion, i think the lack of proper patches might be evidence aswell. Even if they started i doubt it would be anywhere near complete leaving only the polishing to be done, if that were the case i would be somewhat optimistic aswell. But, again, i highly doubt there has been much work, if any, on an expansion. That said i hardly think the game is dead at this point, if they actualy keep their promises and put out proper patches and add town screens i think the game might even make a small comeback, i know 4-5 people myself who have stayed clear of it until now but would buy it if these things happened so there's still somewhat of a chance for it i think.

The word "soon" is relative.

Recall Donald Rumsfeld said the Iraqis were seeking uranium "recently". That "recently" turned out to be 12 years prior. I suppose 12 years is "recent" compared to the history of the US...

"Soon" could be weeks or months.

I'd settle for before the end of summer.
