Bugs and some of the new changes kill all of the fun in it.

Before i begin i must point out that i played H2-H5 and completed all the campaigns. I prepurchased this game since i was too excited about it. I'd say the only reason game doesnt get a "1" right is because its one of the sequal to my favorite game. Now lets see Cons and Pros.
Pros:
1) Beatiful Visuals :
Still no townscreens but it will be implemented on the next patch, if it won't i'd probably rage all over Heroes 6 forums.
2) A new faction, sanctuary.
3) Perfect music :
I'd say most of the music is like a remake of the old might and magic games so they lack a bit originality, still they are beatiful.
4) New resource system :
Only crystals instead of the four minor resources.
5) Reputation system.
Cons:
1) Bugs :
I don't even know how to begin this one, game itself is imcomplete even though they postponed the release date. Most of the skills do not even work.
2) Again visuals:
Many people won't agree with me on this. However, i have a 550M graphic card on my laptop yet i have to play the game on low settings. It's a Heroes game, it didnt need that beatiful graphics, just some new pieces to the sequel would be more then enough.
3) New town system:
Whole game is supposed to be strategic, to capture enemies resources outside the castle you first have to take the castle and every hero has a teleport ability. Well done, now it's all about "who has more creature growth". You can turtle all you like, you can not harass your opponent.
4) No dragons:
Big fail factor.
5) Creature looks:
I can't say the same for all the races, but i am certain that even a creature called "Sister" would have worn some type of armor before going to battle. Now they look as if they are going to make dinner for the orcs.
6) No town screens:
Hope this will get fixed.
7) Conflux:
I believe this is some sort of DRM, sometimes i get a crash because my internet connection fails. How pathetic.
8) Only 5 factions:
I can not even understand why they did not include the elven or the wizards faction.

And there is even more, AI bugs and needless crashes. The game is also very weak in sense of skill and strategy balance. Most of the skills do not work and strategically its all about how many towns or forts you have.

Its probably because i had so much expectations for the game and i paid 49.99 dollar for an incomplete game, but im already bored of it, should have tried a cracked version before actually getting the game. At least i wouldn't get connection crashes.
