A sad day that I hoped would not come to pass, Ceph has done more than you know and I was glad to have him by my side. I will miss your biting remarks and pinpoint accuracy my friend, until the next time I suppose  I am not planning to abandon ship just yet, there is more I can do from the inside even when I feel that my efforts are for naught and that none will ever know whether I have done anything at all or if I were dead weight just for the freebies. But despite the current mess there is hope still - at least for me. I still believe I can do more from the inside than from the sidelines so my course is clear, regardless of what may come. I hope that time will not prove me wrong but I never expected things to be easy either. In all this mess there are two good signs, one being that ubi is working on fixing the game in a 5-patch plan instead of going for an addon. The other is the current plan of improvement which I hope will become apparent over time. When that time comes, remember Ceph, part of it will be thanks to him.

Hi guys, I'm very sorry to let you know that the patch has been delayed and will be next week now. This was un-avoidable.

It's sad that you decided to leave, Cepheus, but if you felt that being there wouldn't change anything because they don't listen to you, I think you made the right decision. Either way, I support your decision.
Another delay? It's hard to take them seriously if they do his almost every time... luckily I still haven't found the game in any store, so probably when I will finally play the game I will have a better experience than most of the people who bought it day 1.
But to be honest, I'm more excited to see the artworks and designs for new creatures than to play the game.

@Cepheus, wow, actually I think you'd get the message across better if you started a new thread on what you did
& not have that discussion diluted in with all the other "noise".
Does that mean you might focus more on other stuff? <hint, hint>
I already 100% decided few weeks ago I wasn't buying the first expansion after I read the first 1.3 patch notes.
Storm-Giant & Kivo mentioned those discouraging things like "internet connection" and "casual".
========
Agree with Zenofex from last page's post (I wrote those sort of things before too).
Well one can only hope actions lead to changes within the remaining group/ubi! But gotta remember gamer VIPs (& many internet forumers!) do not all necessarily have the life/work experience to deduce/detect BS from a company.
and a reasonable fan's hope would think the 1.3 delay is to include "multiplayer custom maps playable online" because this is the only valid reason to have the patch and for some stupendously weirdo reason it was not on the list published by initially by CH.
========
when can we all know about BHole rumored future as a game developer for these sort of games

A hearty thanks to everyone for your solidarity; it is very much appreciated. There were many reasons for this, most of which I infuriatingly can't legally reveal, but most of them were incited by recent events. If I felt I had something useful to contribute to Might and Magic, I would have stayed. But in the end, looking at the depth and breadth of all the problems and excuses which were revealed over time, it comes down to my own personal choice just as much as my obligation as a fan representative.
To those who hold out hope that H6 will be repaired, trust in Elvin - I have total faith that he's going to do everything he can to salvage something good from the ashes. To everyone else, well, I'm going to try to set something in motion which might make up for the disaster - but I won't say more on that until there's something to present.

@Dark-Whisperer : We are already discusing that in the appropiate thread, I think is better to leave this threat to discuss the game itself (and next patches)

Patch 1.3 delayed until 24th April 2012.
"our commitment to improving, correcting, enhancing Heroes 6 remains untouched"
.......untouched, no kidding?!?!? lol
"After being developed, the patch has to undergo several technical tests. Should any issue surface, the patch goes back to developers to be fixed before release."
Back to the developers.....Black Hole still?

They never said anything about the level of commitment - only that it is untouched .

This game has turned into a big joke. With its pathetic release state, I've said "They will fix it for sure". With the next patch, "They've fixed this little only?", 'cause we have nearly a hundred bugs. Then they have delayed and delayed this patch and with Cepheus's post, I've realised that even when all the bugs are fixed and all the balance issues are dealt with, it will again won't be among my favourites, cause the essential Heroes atmosphere is missing, the skill system should change altogether, etc. I've realised that this means a new game, not an expansion or patch to this one.
I don't even play it. Waited for it for years. As some may know HV-ToE is my favourite, not HIII. So, my expectations were very high. And I think I've tried enough to like this game, it's not happening. Too bad I have discovered this forum long after ToE and missed all the tournament and excitement, etc. So, was looking forward to have them with this game, but it won't be any fun.
I support Cepheus' decision and his post (except for the HV part obviously). I hope this and the big fan loss they must have realised makes them see their obvious mistakes, although it's far too late for this game.

Heroes V was initially just as bad as Heroes VI, if not worse, so I can only recommend you to trust Cepheus. You mentioned several times that TotE is your first interaction with Heroes V and TotE is a good game (I'd say that it's even a good Heroes, even though I'm considered among the orthodox Heroes III fundamentalists) but you obviously don't know what it took to get there.

Your "obvious" is quite wrong. I actually know what it took. You were unable to understand my post it seems. I know H5 was full of bugs, balance issues and whatnot. I am not talking about them as you can see... Anyway, read the post again, I guess.
And "I'm considered among..." thing. You're a Heroes celebrity now?

Obviously you don't understand. Heroes V was a D.I.S.A.S.T.E.R when it was released. Maybe a disaster with a potential but disaster nevertheless. Read - more bugs than the initial release of Heroes VI, some of them game-breaking (mostly in the campaign but also casual crashes to the desktop from time to time), non-existent balance (yes, again worse than what we have in Heroes VI), terrible AI (which never got much better, even in TotE), absent map editor, only 10 maps for custom game - most of which small, effectively unfunctional multi-player and of course the worst campaign and story that any Heroes has ever had to date. The game was 70-80% unplayable and it took about an year and a half to get rectified via TotE. That's why Cepheus said that Heroes VI is the second major failure for Ubisoft to deliver a good Heroes (right first time is the key) and whether you agree or not is irrelevant because it's a fact.

Your "obvious" is again wrong. You have just written things I already know, thinking I don't know them, cause you couldn't understand my post.
I know it was a disaster. If you read it again you will see that I say I've discovered that my dislike agianst H6 is not about all the balance issues, bugs, etc. It's about the essance of the game. Altough H5 was in this bad or maybe worse state, the Heroes "thing" was there and with patches and expansions it became a whole. This possiblity doesn't exist in H6.

Didn't you just edit most of your upper post? I'll quote you next time.
Actually here it goes:

Weren't you the same person who said that Heroes V is your first Heroes? I could be mistaken but I'm certain that you hadn't played Heroes III until last year, don't know if you've played Heroes IV, the rest seem out of the question. I wonder how do you define this "Heroes thing" then.
Anyway, it's never been about the "Heroes thing" and apparently that is what you don't get.
