Almighty Game Designer Chapter 131: The balance of “Warcraft”
The news that the overseas version of "Warcraft" is also very popular, soon spread to the country!
industry.
""Warcraft" is also selling well overseas? Especially in Europe and the United States? I think this is a little weird. Players in Europe and America have never seen Western Fantasy games, why would they buy it?"
"Yes, although "Warcraft" does a good job, it can really satisfy the tastes of foreign players? I really didn't expect this."
"In fact, foreign players have spoken highly of it, especially a game evaluation media in the United Kingdom, who spoke highly of the plot of "Warcraft"!"
"And the response from the players is also very good! Chen Mo has made a big announcement this time. "Warcraft" is about to dominate the domestic RTS field, and will dominate the world's RTS field next?"
"Envy, jealousy, hate."
"Hey, I can't learn, maybe there is such a thing as a genius in the world."
"Yes, there is no reproducibility at all."
"Hey, let's continue copying "My name is MT"."
"Why are you so frustrated? I think this is a good thing for the domestic game industry. Domestic games, especially RTS games, are completely unknown in the international market. Chen Mo's "Warcraft" can also be regarded as a domestic game going abroad. A great opportunity for you!"
"But what does it have to do with us?"
"Yes, and what Chen Mo does is Western fantasy themes, or the European and American style. It does not help the spread of our domestic culture."
"What are the requirements so high? The influence of our country’s culture on the international arena is inherently weak, and it’s not just games like this. Are movies and novels the same? Step by step, I think this is a good start ."
"Hey, this time I really watched Chen Mo perform alone."
……
Domestic players.
"Have you heard? "Warcraft" is selling well overseas!"
"Yes, and the score is very high, especially in Europe, America and Korea, very popular!"
"It's great, this game can go abroad, so that players all over the world can experience the charm of domestic games, and it is the top RTS game, it's great!"
"Wow, I look forward to playing with players all over the world!"
"The national server has a first-mover advantage. We already have three 4,000-point gods. This time we should be able to stabilize Korea, right?"
"It's hard to say, the Korean monsters are too strong in RTS games!"
"Chen Mo is too awesome! This matter must be blown for a month!"
"How about blowing for a month? Blowing for three months!"
……
The experience shop is very lively these days.
Many "Warcraft" players in the imperial capital come to "pilgrimage" wave after wave, all wanting to see Chen Mo's true face.
Originally, the players were not interested in a designer. At most, they thought of it when they complained about balance and gold, and then sent some blades.
But Chen Mo is different. Chen Mo has another identity as Silent. He is the pioneer of the classic genres such as the trivial stream, the demolition stream, the hair stream, and the ice spider stream. It is the first national server to win the championship. Great God, the commentary is very pleasing and the people are kind. He quickly gained a large number of fans, especially in the "Warcraft" player group. Who dares to say bad things about Chen Mo is to be spit out by the players. Xiang's.
After the overseas version of "Warcraft" was launched, Chen Mo's reputation became even greater. Players came over almost every day, making him painful.
Zou Zhuo lives nearby and has become a frequent visitor of the experience store. He practiced "Warcraft" in the experience store and wanted to make an impact on 3,500 points.
The experience shop was originally small, with only 18 computers and 10 massage chairs. There are two more for Qian Kun and Zheng Hongxi. There are only a few places in total, which is not enough.
Many players ran over and had no place, so they just went to the Internet cafe to play "Warcraft" together. On the contrary, Zhuo Yao smiled and added a lot of business for no reason.
Chen Mo was also a little helpless, but the players were very enthusiastic. The experience store was originally a place to welcome customers and communicate face-to-face between designers and players. It is impossible to drive people away.
This made Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng very uncomfortable. They all regarded the experience store as their second base. As a result, "Warcraft" became popular, and the second base was preempted. pain.
Chen Mo also began to wonder, should I change to a larger store?
But after thinking about it, let's forget it. Although he is rich now, he is still in the development stage after all. It is not suitable to expand blindly. Changing the experience store is actually just a facade project.
Now that "Warcraft" is getting underway, many people are interested in Chen Mo, and they all come to watch. After a month or two, the enthusiasm of the players will cool down a bit, and visitors should also fall back to normal levels.
Chen Mo's money has to be kept to continue developing more games. It is not particularly wise to spend on buying or renting buildings.
So Chen Mo thought about it, but he didn't consider changing it for the time being, and set up a game to surpass "Warcraft" and then consider this matter.
On the official forum of "Warcraft", players are discussing it every day. At this stage, players are mainly discussing tactics, and the enthusiasm for topics such as plot and gameplay has gradually begun to fade.
However, these tactics are enough for players to discuss for a long time. Such topics as who are strong and who are weak among different races, what is the best way to play between different races, what is the best way to play in civil wars of the same race, etc., this kind of topic is particularly easy to lead to war. SOLO".
A lot of 1500 points players especially like to spray this and that. Not surprisingly, many strong-mouthed kings appeared in the forum, which became a little smog.
In this regard, Chen Mo carefully marked out their ranking points for each player who spoke. Since then, the number of speakers with strong mouths has been greatly reduced, and the entire forum has become much more harmonious.
and ~IndoMTL.com~ such replies often appear.
" Clicking on this title originally wanted to spray, but found that you scored 3,500 points. Forget it, I still quietly retreated."
"Uh, 3700 points? Worship it. Although I don’t understand it, I feel so awesome!"
"1200 points? Wow, you can post a post at your level? Will you give me 2000 points first!"
The "King of the Mouth" incident was thus resolved by Chen Mo.
……
The balance of "Warcraft" has actually reached a very perfect point in the previous life, especially after the 1.24e version, Blizzard will not make a little change to the balance for a long time.
In this version, except for the undead clan who is slightly weaker due to the difficulty of mining, the other three clan are basically equally divided, and no one is dominant.
Moreover, even the undead who are considered the weakest are not too weak to play.
WCG has been held for ten years, and there has never been an undead player in the finals. In the 2012 WCG World Finals, the Chinese undead player TED defeated the Korean Orc Lyn twice in the death group in the semifinals. He defeated the moon demon known as the "fifth race" by 2:0. In the final, he defeated the Chinese orc fly 2:1 and won the first championship of the undead.
These opponents are all famous, especially Lyn and Fly are both Orcs, and it was recognized that it was difficult to fight against Orcs.
This shows that the mechanism of "Warcraft" itself is very balanced and the content is rich enough. Chen Mo has made some optimizations in the numerical balance, which makes the "Warcraft" in the parallel world a very balanced RTS game, which is enough for players to play for many years without getting tired.
