Heroes of Might and Magic V Developer Diary #2

Ubisoft's official Might and Magic website has been updated with a second developer diary for Heroes of Might and Magic V, this time focusing on the challenges encountered during the beta test. An excerpt to follow:
Besides suggestions, getting the general feeling on the game was needed. At the time (september) we had been working on the thing for almost two years, and we started to have a blurred vision of the priorities. The E3 and Leipzig shows garnered very positive feedbacks, and all journalists were already enthusiastic, but we needed to get players` opinion. This was also made possible by the discussions on the forums with the fans, and with the communities. Being able to get an opinion prior to release is invaluable.
