Community Update: Week 26

This is what happened since the last community update:

Monthly Feature Voting

Last week was the second official monthly feature voting. The results are the following:

  • Hotkeys 3.82/5
  • Report Filters 4.13/5
  • BBCodes for units and resources 3.98/5

Therefore, we will integrate the second suggestion in the game with 2.43. Thanks for your ideas and for participating in our vote.

Current Progress

The development of version 2.42 is coming to an end. The beta world will be updated on Friday and a special world will be open in order to test the Heroes. More information regarding the testing of the Heroes will be communicated on the forums!

    Will the list of heroes be given out now, or we need to join the test world? Are we getting lvl20 hero in the start?

    Any major update regarding them?

    • Jordan Coutout says:

      A list of heroes might be published in the wiki. It has not been decided yet. Heroes will start from level 1, you will have to level them up during the beta testing 😉

      • Hasan says:

        marcel/the envoy said all players will be given a lvl20 hero in the start of the game? Has that idea been dumped?

        And pls add it to wiki now. You can always change it later(maybe add warning/disclaimer)

        • Marcel Zons says:

          The level 20 hero will still be given to new players (and since the hero-testing world will be a new world as well, you will get that hero easily).

        • Jordan Coutout says:

          One “tutorial” hero will be gifted and level 20 right from the start, yes. The other “normal” heroes will start from level 1.

          • Hasan says:

            Will tutorial hero be random one, or will all players be given the same hero?

          • Marcel Zons says:

            All will be given the same hero – Andromeda. 🙂

          • Hasan says:

            the “tutorial” hero or the andromeda, yeah, i like it. Now a list of heroes on wiki please…..

            What sort of a hero is andromeda? war or wisdom?

          • Marcel Zons says:

            Wisdom. 😉
            You will have more information soon. 🙂

    Yeah! I can’t wait for the new update. I think that hotkeys, and BBcodes for units and resources are awesome ideas. But unfortunately the rules say that the best will be on the next update. And the last question: Where can I make a suggestion for better game, which may be sent to the monthly feature voting?

    • Jordan Coutout says:

      Suggestions can be made on your local forum. If it gets voted in by your community, your community manager will forward it to us 😉

  3. High Lord Ross says:

    :/ Being on this website shows that we are dedicated so shouldn’t we know about this special “hero world” here? I am up for fair play though so I guess I shouldn’t complain.

    • Jordan Coutout says:

      We want to reach a larger amount of players with the beta testing of the Heroes and some details are still being prepared. That’s the main reason why all information will be communicated on Friday first. Be assured that your dedication is much appreciated!

  4. simdavrob says:

    So heroes won’t be in 2.42 applied to the current beta warrior world but will be in a new world? Will this be open on friday or later?

  5. A gamer Ro says:

    Heroes will be coming this Friday? 28.06.2013?

  6. meixente says:

    Can anyone enter this new beta world with the heroes update?

    • Marcel Zons says:

      Sure, as soon as it launched, feel free to register and play right away. 😉

  7. A gamer Ro says:

    You know that the hour won’t be published, because the server will be very aglomerrate.

  8. GeoEye1999 says:

    May I know what the special power of Andromeda will be?
    Or is it not available for the players yet?

  9. John says:

    Is there gonna be a hero world for US players anytime soon?

    • Marcel Zons says:

      Are you talking about a common hero world or a world with the new hero-feature enabled? 😉

      • John says:

        Either. Im not sure I understand the difference. But how does a US player get involved an play anytime of hero world (in a us server)

  10. A gamer Ro says:

    Today is the big opening? You know the exact hour when the world is opened?

    • Hasan says:

      They never tell the hour, though, i believe they should. I am waiting for it 😀

  11. A gamer Ro says:

    2.42 without Heroes? [url]http://vvcap.net/db/8d9Z5y6YBBUr-5IB-LAz.png[/url]

    • Marcel Zons says:

      Yes, the live worlds will not yet get the heroes activated. The feature should be tested thoroughly by the community before we make the feature available publicly.

      We want to make sure that it is working well and that the community really likes the feature! 😉

      • A gamer Ro says:

        Geode (The community manager of beta) doesn’t post the announce with the 2.42 version and doesn’t open the world.

      • Hasan says:

        why are there only 2 players on rise of hereos world, and why can’t i join?

        • Marcel Zons says:

          Because it’s not been made public yet. This will happen quite soon! 🙂

          • Hasan says:

            You guys really need to check and test even the beta version??? I mean seriously…..

  12. A gamer Ro says:

    Rise of Heroes was launched.

  13. vtmacdaddy says:

    when will the heroes be available on the normal beta world zz3? or will they only be available on the Rise of Heroes world zz2? don’t quite get the purpose of making a new test world when one already exists, so just wondering.

    • Marcel Zons says:

      The problem with the other beta world is that there are a lot of players with high accounts which take over all new players.

      We wanted to give all testers a fresh experience when testing the heroes. Also, we want to advertise our beta worlds stronger, especially the “Rise of Heroes” world as this feature needs proper testing and your feedback. 😉

  14. DKnukunu says:

    Where are Ferkyon, Terylea, Urephon, Zuretha from, i searched for all the heros recognize/know and i couldn’t find anything on those 4.

    Also an idea/improvement (or atleast i think so) could be to add their basic information/history with the effekt they give.

    • Marcel Zons says:

      Ferkyon, Terylea, Urephon and Zuretha are completely fictional. Although we will mostly rely on true heroes from ancient greece, we will also establish new individuals. 😉

  15. simdavrob says:

    If I have some questions about how the heroes feature works in Rise of Heroes, where should I ask them?

    Thanks

  16. It should of first been on the heroes world on the regular grepolis but I ask when will be open to the regular grepolis ????
