How can you guys sell this c*ap?
It is good game, but seriously too many bugs.
Just like HOMM6.
When I pay about 30 bucks, I want something worth 30 bucks.
Next time, please finish the work before sell.

Same with me. I am done with it, I expect possible hardware issues but quests that don't work, bugged units, etc Not good enough. Did anyone test the damn game????

Sorry I pre-ordered, won't get caught again.

Well they kinda spat in their loyal customers face with this one. I have bought all previous kings bounty games and enjoyed them and at most there was one or two broken quests and a single item not being accessible but in this game it's almost impossible to play for 30 minutes without a bug, misplaced objects or even enemies, crashes or some awfully written text from someone who clearly don't know his english very good...

Keep in mind that the more you mock the game, the more likely there won't be a new KB game.

@Totoro
Stating facts about current WotN, and mess it`s in is not mocking.
Did game got released with bunch of errors and bugs? Yes.
Is there lots of mistranslated and broken quests? Yes.
Are there achievements and rewards just activating itself without previously doing whet it says is needed to get them? Yes.
This game in state was released cant be called NEW. it`s expansion to the Legend at most. My proof for it :
- how many locations are simply copy/paste from first game of series?
- there are still files in game like slime.atom , therock.atom and similar from rage spirits from the Legend. Devs simply took that game and add new things(viking theme) , and some from Armored princess and call it a new game.
- there is still nonfunctional skills and spells from previous game. Onslaught bonus adrenaline to orcs , divine armor not giving astral res to units , guardian medal missing astral/cold res in first game version. This things stay same as in first release of AP.
- spider boss. enough said. we kill it in theLegend, in Armored and in Crossworlds. how many times this thing must die before they get some new idea on boss fight???
- some enemy hero set so cast armagedon after you defeat him. wtf is all that about? this is from tL, when if your units was poisoned, and was it`s turn after you defeat enemy, poison effect will tick 1 more time before end battle screen killing your units for no reason at all.
- graphic same for last 5 years, not a single change from tL.

This were just some of reasons i see this as expansion, tL 1,75 because it`s more then tL and got some things form AP also, but NOT a new game.

Well, afaik they never claimed it would be King's Bounty 2.

Also I think you can agree with me that many comments here are expressions of frustration, including mocking, instead of just stating facts.

I haven't seen much mocking, I've seen people expressing their distaste for the state in which the game was released. I don't expect a bug-free game, but I do expect it to have been QA tested and most of the glaring bugs fixed. There were so many hard-crash issues, uncompletable quests, etc, that it's hard to believe that there was much QA done at all.

As for there being another KB, that's going to be an economic issue, not a matter for what people said on a forum.

I definetly agree with that. Some people just love to gang up and bash what they don't like with very harsh words.

Constructive criticism is usefull but angry mocking is not.

My question to the devs is why they haven't yet balanced the game properly.Many units are just way, way imbalanced. Some spells too. I can offer details but have offered them in the past and nobody cared.

Every advertisement about WotN was that it is NEW game in series, and not expansion for previous releases. As far i can tell this is like red sands addon for Ap/Cw but theLegend edition - new islands like in red sands, some new units like red sands , couple new medals and spells. Nothing crucial in difference like theLegend / Armored princess , those 2 games deserved to be called first and second considering improvements and new contents in AP. CW was expansion for AP and later Red sands mod/addon for it, like WotN is for the Legend. And i never said WotN is KB2. KB-tL was first in series, KB-Ap was new game , KB-WotN sohuld be new game, but simply isnt in state it got released and with bunch of junk and bugs from previous games.
If there was some problem in tL/Ap/Cw, and files with those same problems got transferred to this game then that is proof enough this game wasnt tested, or checked for functionality before shipping to market.

This tread was opened for posting questions for devs expecting reply of some sort. So far 3 months isnce opening tread not a single repay to players questions. So mocking isn`t OK, but complete ignoring players questions from devs is.

And check posts #7 , #11 , #26 there are some specific questions about game, not just junk posting or mocking in any way. Still devs didnt see it worth to answer to any of this questions.
In bugfixes tread there are bunch of things that are implamented in new patch, so if devs just w8 for players to post solutions and put them in patches, and not responding to players questions and problems, and didnt test game before release then wtf are they doing ?
Team of professional programers (i hope they are) that release shoddy product as this deserve ridicule and mocking from community of customers they ignore.

[Totoro]

Well, I believe that definition of expansion in video games is that you need the base game to play it.

You can play WotN without owning any of previous titles in the series so I guess that makes it a new game.

Also, they are not completely ignoring us. They have already released two bug fix patches and I'm sure there will be more.

And they are also a low-budget team so it's possible they don't have resources for two-way communicating with players.

Yes bugfixes based on fixes players posted on forum, and after being pointed out by those same players.
If you buy new car and with it come little book with suggestions how to fix problems that will happen, will you say that is good product ? And when you run into problems, you go to shop and there is no one to help you. Same thing here. You give your money for something and then realize it`s not working, crash/block and cause lots of problems. Do you suggest merchant that sold you that product should be praised if you fix your problems by communicating with other customers?

And they are also a low-budget team so it's possible they don't have resources for two-way communicating with players.

This is open forum, and it doesnt take lots of resources to communicate with each other. You can claim they dont have internet connection available, to read/reply to our posts. And who said they are low budget team ???
1c is leading software publisher for Russia and eastern Europe, i`m sure they could afford 2-3 test players to try tihs bug infested game before activating it on steam for purchase.
