Heroes of Might and Magic Goes MMORPG

[Galad]

I'd love to try that. A pity it probably wouldn't run on my pc

TQ digital lol. I've played their games so no doubt this game will have the most overpowered cash shop in existence.

Sounds interesting and...unnecessary

It is probally going to be like evony, but 3D, and twice as annoying since it will have been a once respected franchise.

the first turn based MMO?

Perhaps Ubisoft thinks they're trying something Heroic here. Something that will make people say: "WoW"

I see what you did there.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Woo! I should try this. The last one I played exhaustively was III, so some new HoMM might be a good thing.

 

[Mr. Mike]

Then you get the griefers who will wait as long as possible before taking their turn in a battle.

They'll probably have a time limit, like no more that 30 seconds to make a move. Well I want to see how this turns out, because I don't think I've seen anything done like it before.

If we're on the subject of HoMM, 2 and 3 were the best.

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

Damn, and people think that WoW servers have long queues during peak hours? I can see it now, people playing the Heroes MMO will finish their turn only to have to wait for their next turn while the next 500 people on the server all do something. x_x

If it's anything like HoMM V it deserves nothing but the garbage can.

Here at the Escapist we like to give our opinions some backing, for instance describing why you feel that way would help make your post into more of a discussion.

So anyone checked this out? im kinda curious.

 

[Chechosaurus]

I just reignited my love for Heroes of Might and Magic III last week so I am indeed intrigued. I've never played the fifth one but IV killed it for me in a few ways.

 

[Museli]

I purchased Heroes III again the other week - it's as fun as I remember. I'm cautiously optimistic about this project.

"first persistent world turn-based strategy MMO." The game will offer "in excess of hundreds of unique campaigns, each with epic storylines and goals including 10 chapters of battlefield missions" and also "randomly generated combat maps."

Here they lie.
You can't have a World whiel at the same time claiming it to have diffrent generated maps.

Most likely, this will be a game where you enter a lobby and wait for other gamers to enter.

It could be an instance-based game, where you have a persistent MMO-type world, but the missions are on randomly generated maps.
