Do any of you guys know, if someone was kind enough to give me an extra code handed out for the first beta, will that also grant me access to the second beta?

The code for first beta will also enable you to play the second beta.

A lot of the stuff written on the official site isn't clear. Their wording sometimes make it so confusing...

Holy mackerel! I did not post anything in 3 whole weeks.
Have no idea as to what the results are as per the 2nd beta of the games express fixes has to done right after.
Only 30 days(4 weeks + 2 days) left for the official release of the main game called Heroes of Might and Magic VII(7).
So, it also means that last minute major changes to the game are downright impossible and, will not even think of doing so either.
As I write this very post(today).
Haven't received any promotional photos for the game through Facebook for quite some time now. Probably means that the devs will devote 100% of their time and energies toward polishing the game within the last 4 weeks of its final development efforts.
Well...Good Luck to the Beta testers at not finding too many game breaking bugs + B.S.O.Ds.

Map editor is being showcased live on Sept 7. Wonder what HC people think about new map editor? I make maps for H5 so this is an important feature for me. So far so good.
Btw luc, didn't you test H5 ToTE before you upg to Windows 10? XD

I think the map editor will be good, in fact I suspect the modding support to correspond more to some kind of top advanced editor since is entirely map-based.
Edit: Turns out I was wrong.

Not only did I test the game before the upgrade to Win. 10, I even modded it...

...quite extensively to the point that the game does not feel like it was meant to be a stand-alone expansion what-so-ever. I mean that the title of the game reverted itself to the vanilla version, minus the intro. movie than comes with the vanilla edition of HoMM 5.
Was just mentioning that the game is, still, working without any glitches what-so-ever.
Now, back to Heroes VII: Only 18 days before the official unveiling of this newest title of the Might and Magic Heroes' series(2 weeks and 4 days).
Had no time to dedicate myself fully for this one, this time around. Still have a lot of System Administration to do for making the possibility of expanding the performance of my current and in full use of this 6 cores PC of mine.

Sorry for the delay but, the wait is almost over for everybody.
Only 2 more days before enjoying the latest from Might and Magic.
I really do hope that Limbic did deliver this time around.
Even though Limbic might have satisfied our needs for strategy gaming , there this uneasy feeling that Ubisoft might do something eery for us gamers from all around the globe.
My fears are: 1. Slow as hell servers and a download ping as slow as a turtle.
2. Not enough physical copies of the game sent to major countries such as Canada and United States[My copy might come from Ubisoft California(U.S.A.)].
3. The auto. patching does not kick in right away and, we, all, will have to ask for a troubleshooting way to get her in and working like it is meant to do just so: patching all the known issues for most not so recent PCs of the worldwide markets.
Well...that's it for now. Let's get the game, install & patch it then, start the complaints of the end products' mishaps or, start requesting info. of all kinds about the mechanics of such way newer type of a strategy game.

Obviously, I got the retail edition of the Deluxe package of the game.
Now, a few minutes ago, won right-a-way the very first official scenario that was shown at the Expo last year.
That was a small map like duel map of you, the player, will play the Wizards' town versus the Necros' town.
My extensive experience in playing MMH5:TotE, really helped but, learning the game was the major factor at taking so long at finishing such a small map. Took me a total of 8 to 9 hours to get the mechanics of the game going.
What really bugged me is: No Hiding of the heroes in garrison of the town(s)(stays active no matter what you planned at doing with each of them). Had to literally remember which one had to do what. And, having to see the enemy heroes' positions right under my own surface's territory. It felt like I used some kind of a cheat code for tracking whatever is not under the fog of war.
Other than that, the game worked almost perfectly. Let's see what will happen with an RMG map.

Project PC upgrade = Fully completed and, now uses Win. 10 Home.
Now my PC is using Win. 10 Home and, at build 1511(the very latest one at that).
Re-installed Might and Magic Heroes VII by downloading the latest build of the game which happens to be, by default, version 1.5.
To my surprise, the game was considered purchased digitally(online) instead of a physical retail DVD based product. So, all I had to do is to log-in to Uplay, go directly to the games tab and, voila, my two Ubisoft games were displayed in full box cover like picturesque outlook.
BTW: My second game happens to be a free game via Uplay achievements rewards and, its name is: Settlers 7aths to a Kingdom.
Plus, Win. 10 Home recognizes these two games as being the only 2 games that I should have on this very same PC. Although 5 more games are installed onto it and, are Steam based games:Civ.5, Civ. Beyond Earth, Ultra Street-Fighter IV, Double Dragon Trilogy and, Double Dragon Neon.
I should launch a medium sized map at Heroes VII, to just get myself re-acquainted with this strategy title and, to see if compatibility hiccups might occur.
BTW: 2 more board games from Ubisoft that I happen to own, are Xbox 360 games and, are called: Risk and Monopoly Plus. Have plenty of Uplay and Xbox Live achievements through those two titles by just winning one single game, each.

Some funny thing just happened:
Please take a loot at this post from moderator Ubi-MoshiMoshi down the blog:
Ubi-MoshiMoshi said:
Hi Guys, please note: comments are only hidden (not removed, as they are still viewable to administrators) when they contain profanity or insults. So to avoid your comment being removed please avoid using the above. All feedback when hidden is still available for the developers to read. Thank you for your understanding.
Uh, so you are hiding the profanities and insults for the potential customers but you keep them to see for the developers? Is that what you're saying?? How can you sleep at night??
After I asked that, my comment was removed, and the account suspended.
Then I went to the official Ubi forum to submit a thread on the matter, denouncing this. Instantly deleted.

Anyway...went to the site of the real Shadow Council and...
posted quite a few posts about how silly Limbic forgot to give us a definite release date on the upcoming 1.6 version of the game(patch).
You, people, think that you are getting frustrated over the intense patching processing that the devs have undertook. Just go to that site and, read all the bad mouthing these members are giving us, lately.

Patch 1.6 has been out for quite some time now.
Just came back from Ubi's Shadow Council's official home page and, the lost tales of Axeoth DLC will not be available until some time in February of 2016(2 months from now).
Moreover, Patch 1.7 might not be available until February of next year also.
My counsel and advice is to work on the official expansion of the game with countless fixes and re-hauls + with an extra new faction instead of continuously fixing this, seemingly impossible to fix, Vanilla edition of the game.
It is not because it is not working and, that it is not enjoyable, it is merely for the cause of bringing way more drastic mechanics bound improvements.

Advise and counsel are the same thing.
If it is going to take them till next year to release a patch and free DLC; then I doubt there is even a small chance for a for an expansion. H7 will die sooner than H6, did they learn anything?

Even though the game is a serious getting used to...
...I actually prefer this title over both HoMM5(heavily modded) and, especially HoMM6(skipped all DLCs and the stand alone expansion).
This game is so much more enjoyable compared to the 2 previous editions/titles that I am anxious at using mods that will further enhance my gameplay experience(option of not demolishing the territorial forts and, auto. flagging of the territory's mines and creature dwellings that caravans extra garrison troops to it as per example of such very useful mod).
Sure, it is so different from HoMM5 when it comes to Hero development and troops deployment onto the various battlefields but, nonetheless, a very hard to take fort is what the online players were looking for into a multiplayer game. Plus, less towns to worry about their economies and gradual growth by placing well defendable forts instead is a way better rendition of a computer based video strategy game.
