People might be disappointed by blade dancer because it doesn't look like the concept art from the line-ups descriptions and because of that they voted for Sylannas Fury lol

Also, any idea why the video is in German?
Well, this is a German gaming site, so video will be in German.
Regarding these units - I've been positively surprised, especially by the Pixies. Other units also look cool. The Blade Dancer is bearable, his upgrade may still look better. At least he's not a wimp like he used to be in Heroes V.

I still don't know what to think... I'll wait until tomorrow to make an opinion...
It's sad that the Sylvan got leaked like this and the fact that they showed it already and said nothing...

Green dragon and bladedancer looking excelent both in portraits and on the battlemap. Pixie might be a bit mediocre and the Moon doe is one of the least interesting units i`ve seen. Would have prefered to see a bear or unicorn. For an elite the doe is not that impressive.
All in all looking good so far for the Sylvan.

Not really. It names the units, the vontrils and the camera as a friend told me.

I am more concerned about the beginning of the video. It clearly states "Beta". Even if Sylvan was not ready for the beta, they could've given us Necropolis (maybe even Stronghold).
Not only that, but there are three maps listed as an option.

If you got as many bugs with 2 factions, what do you think would have happened with more?

green dragon does not look like a dragon. More like a dinosaur.
lol, loved that plant dragon and the pixie, the doe looks cool, I was expecting something a bit more impactful, something in a harry potter patronus style maybe, but they look nice.
Blade dancer looks good, but I was expecting something more, his animations looks nice.
Overall, it seems nicely done, I'm especially pleased with the color palette.
edit: was watching again, it's worth noting that hero's mount...

"Somebody german speaking, do they say anything interesting ?"
Not really. The guy probably has some experience with other 4x games. or played homm3 for a few hours like 10/15 years ago. He does not know that the race is named Sylvan or any names from the units on the battlefield. Before he clicking on it. Just named them by what they looked like to him. He`s unaware what homm7 is about before he played this demo i guess. But i dont mind as he shows 4 new units for the first time.
ps: watched the video like for the forth or fifth time. This time i payed some attention to the waiting animations. The green dragon and bladedancer animations looked really nice. Just like how they should behave according to their character. Green dragon moved much like an wild animal, while the blade dancer behaved like a skilled agile sword fighter.

To me it looked like that beta was build specificaly for E3, cause only Duel vs AI been playable.
And before someone will start witch hunt, remember this 3 maps were only combat maps and not playable maps with towns and mines.

Well you have a point there. Even if some claimed this was Alpha, not Beta, but whatever.

I don't find the bugs point to be valid. After all it was the point of the "beta" for us to find and pinpoint bugs the team wasn't sure about. And if we have 2 more factions and found more bugs then maybe we could have more evidence to force a Christmas release for the game.
On the other hand, i can understand not wanting to reveal more factions so soon and discourage the players to play the game due to lack of expectation at release. I mean, contrary to previous game releases, we know a lot about the game prior to its release and there are only a few things that could have a wow impact.

I watched that video... I wonder how 16 years ago they could come with the genius perspective H2 had, creatures are clearly filling the whole horizon but sizes are same, visibility is perfect. You see the screen for one second, can say already who is fighting, what army is, how probably the battle will process, can even say who will win. From a short glance at.
Then 16 years later, a couple of hundred of thousands dollars more in graphics, I see snow. Can't even figure where the creatures are, I see pixels.

That part still puzzles me.. Suppose they messed up once in H6, what's the excuse now?

New developer. 
The perspective isn't bad, it's the fact that the battlefield is zoomed out to an excessive extent. As I grow older I begin to doubt in the fact that people learn on mistakes of others. They need to experience them first.

Limbic took over after BH went bankrupt. They did not appear out of nowhere, they witnessed H6 firsthand.
