Wow, ten different v1.2 patches for ten different Heroes V's, must take some time to get all those files done and translated, no wonder it took a while.

Well, my 1.2 experiences!

*Amount of damage from Destructive spells in in the spellbook is no longer visible... i have to select the spell and hold the cursor above the target to view the damage inflicted.... a bug or is this supposed to do so?

*Sometimes weirdest cursor behaviour in battles, especially for "move-and-attack" actions... not always but quite often! Switched to HW cursor but that wasn't the problem.... all worked fine before 1.2!
Can't play properly at all until i get this solved :wall:

*Oh yes and the "special hero aura" is no longer selectable ingame, only in main menu... but i don't care for that one!

I have got the european collectors edition and i'm sure i installed the right patch..... did anyone encounter similar problems???


*Tried Duel via hotseat..... some Heroe's seem to be vastly imbalanced.... never managed to win against Sinitar for example... but that could be just me ;-) !



Was quite happy with patch 1.1... but if i can't get point 1 and 2 fixed soon, i'll go completly mahaaaaaad!!!


EDIT:
After a little research on the web, the "no-enhanced-spell-description" is an issue in some german versions.
My assumption is, that this is only with the german CE.... anyone who may confirm that?

In the middle of War of the Worlds and randomly on the blue players turn it stops in the middle and the game "freezes" By freezes I mean every other second the animations go and the cursor is stuck. The blue player never finishes his turn....horrible.

I can see the damage for spells in the spell book just fine. In fact all the spells have far more information in them than before.

And if no one knows already:

Master Gremlins repair only once now.

Multiple castings of summon elementals don't stack anymore. It kills off the old stack and replaces it with a new one.

The ATB bar is updated as soon as you give orders to the current unit. While it doesn't tell how much damage or kills you do instantly, it does update immediately when a stack dies. After playing 1.1 for a while, it seems...weird. It's actually very disorienting.

The battle camera seems to mess up. Everytime it zooms in for a melee exchange, it's focused slightly behind the defending creature.

Everytime the First Aid tent heals, it calls it a Plague Tent causing damage to your units. Even though it heals.

I really like the new information on all the spells though. Tells how many elementals in a summon, how much slow does, how much defense vulnerability drops by, etc.

I didn't know that you couldn't stack elementals anymore...ugh why the hell did they not put these things in the changelog...bunch of f'ing noobcakes. Let's put all the map balancing things in the log but nothing important.

Sounds like all hell has broken loose after you guys installed the patch. Luckily (for me) I haven't done that yet, maybe I should wait for the v1.3 patch to fix the issues caused by the v1.2 patch. Dammit Nival, why?

Yeah, really messes up Summon Elemental in my opinion. Summoning giant stacks of elementals is powerful, yes, but at the same time there are so many other good options out there too. Raise dead, mass haste, etc. I didn't find it that unbalancing. Especially since the moment you lose your real units, you lose the battle anyway, even if you had 9k elementals.

Also found out everytime I killed the old stack with the summon spell, Naadir would summon ghosts out of it.

One possible bug.

Blood Witches and Furies sometime don't retreat after hitting.

Are you referring to when they stop in front of their target but don't attack? That is a well known AI bug.

If they've attacked and not retreated, I've never heard of that.

I knew I wasn't seeing things. Only saw this once though.

Amending my previous statement about the camera though. It seemed only to mess up on my vampires in the campaign, but was functioning just fine when I was testing the Blood Furies thing (I didn't see them not retreat again. But I could have sworn I saw it once though)

Figured it out.

Ctrl Attack works with blood furies. Basically you can attack and then stand next to them. I think the AI is messing up by choosing that option though.

Finally that option is in place...I asked about that earlier but it seems now we can do that.

Sometimes the AI will do that onto a ranged unit to it can't fire, good tactics :) Sometimes it's stupid and will do that next to a melee creature...
