Ubi sends survey

[LordErtz]

UBI just sent a survey to all mailboxes registered with HOMM V. I suggest you use this survey to show what you like about the series and dislike so that they can change it. This is our voice, and this time they will hear it!!!!

[Warlock]

I saw that. I wish they would have put more places for feedback (i.e. writing stuff). They also had a lot of "What ____ did you like?" without any "What ___ did you dislike?" which was annoying.

[Kristo]

This is our voice, and this time they will hear it!!!!

They heard our voices before, loud and clear. We all saw how much good that did...

[Angelspit]

Who else received the survey? I did not, and I'm pretty sure I registered the game.

[urbanmonk]

I got one, think you had to check the box on site to recieve things from them.

[Orfinn]

Yup thats correct. And I hope most off us mention things from H4 that should be in H5, Im gonna do that at least.

Caravans and branche upgrades eternal!!!!

[Grumpy Old Wizard]

I did not recieve a survey either. Perhaps they sent it to only a certain percentage of registered game owners.

GOW

[Warlock]

I believe you had to have that box checked to receive mail from them (like the "bonus" maps). So if you unchecked that after you got the maps, that might be why.

[Campaigner]

Technically it's fair since you gotta endure some pain to get some pleasure to. But if they send the survey to a bunch of n00bs who don't know the game in detail and who just want things for the hell of it, then the survey will be useless!

....Like people who just want random HIV stuff just because they liked it with no regards to how it will effect the game....

[addicted]

I got mine and already took the survey.. Hope they pay attention to it...

FYI: In it was a question about what forums you visit for info, etc. or something to that effect and you can choose from these answers below.. Take Note of it listing CH!!!!!
1. Internet fan sites (Celestial Heavens, Age of Heroes, Archangel Castle…)
2. Internet magazines (Gamespot, IGN, Jeuxvideo.com...)
3. Official Might and Magic websites
4. Paper magazine
5. Friends
6. None, I don’t search info on Heroes of Might & Magic 5
I wished I had copied the whole survey now as I went thru it but only copied the above..

[Warlock]

Yeah I picked #1 on that question

[soupnazii]

yup me too. and im pretty sure there were some questions about what we disliked....

edit: here is a link of the survey:

http://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/15991/He ... erlang=eng

im not sure if it will work or if they can tell if it wasnt sent from the email recipient. either way, just so that everyone has a chance to see the survey. you have to click "resume" or "resume from first page". i dont know why it doest take you there automatically.

[Angelspit]

Take Note of it listing CH!!!!!

It would have been a shame if they had not...

In any case, I was able to submit answers using the link above. My guess is that they accept one set of answers for each IP address.

Technically it's fair since you gotta endure some pain to get some pleasure to. But if they send the survey to a bunch of n00bs who don't know the game in detail and who just want things for the hell of it, then the survey will be useless!

Oh man, I know! Its frightning to think about, then its even worse if us fans that knows much about the game dont get surveys. The n00bs will tip the scale and ruin the game even more if Nival are so stupid to go for their unlogical and/or unrealistic ideas

How many of you checked Heroes V in that list? I'm afraid I did not...

[Lady Farquad]

I did, + AoE III

[soupnazii]

i did Heroes, Diablo, and Age of Empires 3.

a link to this survey could actually be put on the main site to get some more feedback from "real fans", but i dont know if thats what fabrice wanted....

[Angelspit]

I had the same idea. But perhaps they don't want to hear from people who did not buy the game -- that would be understandable.

I checked H-V because I had a feeling there would be more detail questions on the game which I am afraid I didn't give positive answers.
