为什么跳票？！为什么延期发售？！官方有话要说

1，为什么延迟游戏的发行时间？
我们的游戏测试显示游戏有着很大的潜力，不过需要额外的时间来修补瑕疵。所以Ubi的制作团队和黑洞的开发团队在讨论后一致认为，H6应该是款伟大的作品，是款魔法门系列作品中的旗舰作品。在决定后我迅速的公布这信息，因为我们觉得有必需尽量对玩家保持信息的透明度。
会增加额外的第六种族么？
一个新的种族代表着新的建筑，新的能力，新的英雄职业，新的英雄模型和兵种模型，新的动作，然后更多的BUG，平衡问题，推敲磨亮.....三个月的时间里我们搞不定这些的。不过我们肯定要在将来制作更多的种族，不同种族的多样性和生物是系列游戏中的亮点。
不是4月20号开始Beta测试？
Ubi和黑洞制作组从来就没正式确认过Beta测试的时间，之所以有4月20这个说法，是因为某次官方网站的RSS更新里出现了一条这样的条目（也就是官方网站的人在后台乱搞，结果在RSS里露马脚了）。
那么何时开始Beta？
如果你预定了游戏你将会获得参加beta所需的key，不过是最后一轮beta（也就是说之间还有一轮BETA），游戏已经比较稳定和丰满，不过还没有确定的官方时间。当beta开始时你会收到相应的通知，我们会尽快公布其时间。
我们何时可以获得更多的游戏相关的讯息？
几天前完整的声誉系统 - 英雄职业信息和能力信息已经在官方网站公布。接着我们会公布一些宝物和英雄，比如头像啊，传记啊，英雄特技啊，我们知道很多人关心这个，然后我们还会继续更新中立兵种。

总之，开发组感谢你的耐心和理解，您的支持将会帮助我们制作出了不起的系列新作。

H6 Delay Q&A

There has been a lot of discussion in the community about Heroes VI being delayed. We wanted to explain and clarify some of the things that happened and where do we go from here.

1. Why delay the game?

All our play-tests show the game has a huge potential, but needs extra-time to correct a few flaws.
So there had been discussions between the Heroes production team at Ubisoft and the development team at Black Hole and we all agreed we want H6 to be great and to be the “flagship” for all that’s to come in the Might & Magic brand.
We felt it was better to be transparent with you and announce the delay as soon as it was confirmed.

2. Will you use the extra time to add a sixth faction?

A new faction would mean new buildings, new abilities, new hero classes, new models for heroes and creatures, new animations, and of course, more debug, balance, polish... So it’s not something we can do in only three months.
However we clearly intend to expand the numbers of available factions in the future, since the factions, their diversity and their creatures are one of the compelling points of the Might & Magic series.

3. Wasn’t Beta supposed to begin on April the 20th? I read it on some forums.

The starting date for the Beta was never officially stated by anyone at Ubisoft or Black Hole.
What happened is a work-in-progress news item was created on the official site that mentioned a tentative date for the Beta, but it was not ready for publication since the date was not set in stone yet (it still isn’t).
Due to a bug, this unfinished article unfortunately appeared in the RSS feed of the site, leading some people to believe the date of the Beta had been officially announced.

4. So when is the Beta starting?

If you pre-ordered you’ll get access to the Public Beta, which will be the last stage of the Beta process (meaning the game will be stable enough to be playable and enjoyable).
There is no official, definitive date for the Public Beta as of yet.
However, you will soon receive a newsletter with practical information, and we’ll give you a starting date for the Beta as soon as possible.

5. When will we get more info about the gameplay?

The full information about the Reputation advanced classes and the corresponding abilities will be published in a few days on the official site. We’ll also start posting info about artefacts and heroes, such as portraits, bios and specializations – we know a lot of people are interested in knowing more about these. And we still have to show the Neutral creatures as well.

To conclude, the Heroes dev team wants to thank you for your patience and understanding. With your support, we’re sure to make an awesome sixth entry in the Heroes series
