If it ends, I won't be heartbroken. Bring on HoMM7, bring back some randomness, and ditch the dynasty weapons.
What's wrong with "dynasty weapons" (artifacts that gain xp and have different properties depending on their XP) as "campaign-only" feature?
I don't mind if they are campaign only features. I do not, however, like them in scenarios and prefer the old way of finding weapon-artifacts around the map.
While on the topic of artifacts, I do miss the old item descriptions. I understand they are extremely low on the "to do" list, but I liked reading them.

The bug IS known - as known as a couple dozen of others, balance issues, wrong tooltips and so on.
If anything WILL be patched - and we are all crossing our fingers here that there will at least a couple of supposedly unproblematic fixes - then this one will be part of it, since it's easy to fix.

For Dinasty Weapons, I'm fine as long as:
a) they can be banned from multiplayer
b) there are normal weapons artifacts
The fact that HVI has no normal artifacts piss me a lot

Always loved getting the mountain axe (+4 attack) AND the moon blade (+3 attack but on left hand where shield goes) as you could use them together in H5!
As dynasty weapons need their own "slot", they should introduce some off hand weapon artifacts....like daggers or moon blades.

To me, a big flaw on the DW conecpt is....that ALL are WEAPONS.
Okay, you can collect 10 swords, but you only can use one at a time lol.
Extending a bit the range (Dinasty Armors, for instance), overall nerf to avoid excesive powerfullness of Dinasty stuff and it'd be more varied, imo...

And then there's the Code; to give you an example of the problems there are, at the moment we wanted to test the effect of a switched ability between Stalkers and their upgrade, and strangely enough the upgrade ability doesn't work for the basic one, inexplicably. Never happened before.
Well, that fully depends on how transparant the code is. Proper code is set up according to best practices and generally orderly, fully with commented out clarifications on what a piece of code is supposed to do. Debugging should be easy, since you can simply trace each variable through each execution step.
If it's spaghetti code, then good luck in debugging, but this simply implies that the code base at the start was (very) poorly designed.

And this is the case. One of the reasons BH was left out I presume.

BH wasn't left out. BH went bankrupt. But it is the reason why subsequent devs have so much trouble with fixing the game.

I was browsing Steam the other day and I found this: http://www.snowbirdgames.com/eador/?lang=en
The game is developed by HoMM and Civ fans, as far as I can tell (but with professional backgrounds). I'm a bit hyped right now and I'm waiting for the Steam release.  They say the game will have hot seat.

Yeah, but posting about a game in multiple unrelated areas counts as spam. Just say'n, you guys should probably keep your fangirling in the proper threads dedicated to this "Eador" game.
