Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chen Xu's live broadcast room was very lively with a commentary on Shark TV.

No one had imagined that such a situation would happen before.

Moreover, in the case of a disadvantaged population, it is more powerful than a large population.

After all, generally speaking, the more RTS population, the stronger it basically represents.

Who could have imagined that in the case of a disadvantaged population, a set of blow-offs would be used.

"Brother Sun!" In the official commentary, Huang Donglai looked at Sun Yixie next to him.

"Brother Huang, you've been hit hard!" Sun Yixie touched the hair on his head.

Why is he talking again?

At this moment, in his mind, he recalled a game that made it difficult for him to breathe.

In the RTS group, a group of professional brothers and high-end players feel that a new door has been opened.

"Night elves can still play like this, they've really learned a lot, and they can't fight back!"

"I'll take a shot, mainly because I don't know this style of play with Guadi, not to mention the first-round prophet, at least a tauren will be selected for the second round, and at the same time, the tauren will be promoted early, rather than waiting for the opposite Raptor Druid to take shape, Only two white cows."

"The items on the map are also very important. I don't know the strength of this set of play. Guadi didn't buy the invincible medicine. Kill two."

"However, President Chen played four games tonight, and each race showed some characteristics, so the Orcs didn't show it!"

"I remembered that too! Why are we orcs the only ones injured?"

Whether it is players or some RTS gods, there is a heated discussion.

Especially the game designers who have been paying attention to the balance crisis of "Warcraft" are not talking at this time.

Especially in Hero Entertainment's office, Zhou Qi's face was ashes.

How are you playing with Chen Xu?

There was a balance problem in their game, and they carefully adjusted the values ​​little by little, for fear of causing a rebound from the players.

But you, Chen Xu, are better.

There is a problem with the balance value.

You players all say Orcs are strong, right?

Then I will go to a live broadcast to prove it, and I not only proved it, but also hammered the orc professional brother.

Now you say that this is a problem with your technology and game understanding, or is there a problem with his game balance?

In fact, this is a kind of sophistry.

Because the player's understanding will inevitably conflict with the initial settings of the game, resulting in a situation that seems to be a balance crisis.

In this case, designers generally have only two options.

The first one, based on the player's current understanding, directly nerfs the hero's stats, or even redones skills.

And when the player group has a deeper understanding, it will be done again.

It gives players a feeling of repeated horizontal jumps.

But in fact, this is feedback from the designer based on the understanding of the large group of players.

The second one is to simply weaken it. For example, if a player feels that a certain race is too strong, he directly cuts it, or simply strengthens the other three weak ones.

But this is likely to happen, as players delve deeper into the game.

The hero who was originally considered to be very strong by the player fell directly into the sewer.

but now?

Chen Xu directly used his performance to tell the player that he actually understood the game "Warcraft".

Naturally, it also makes players have a kind of trust in it.

At least your skills haven't reached the level of Chen Xu, so are you embarrassed to spray the balance garbage of "Warcraft"?

But this is something that other designers can't learn.

After the game was over, watching the screen full of the barrage that strongly demanded him to play two more games, Chen Xu stretched his waist and moved his muscles and bones, and then responded.

"Let's play two more games. I'm here today. I'm not a professional streamer or professional player. In addition, there will be a special update for "Warcraft" in the future, which should be of interest to most players. Yes, that's it, that's it for today." Chen Xu said.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, countless players were stunned.

Not a professional anchor or professional player?

But why did you hammer the professional players!

However, after expressing speechlessness, many players paid attention to another point in Chen Xu's words.

A new version of Warcraft! ?

But what the hell is a special update?

Could it be a new race? The Naga in the previous battle?

Or maybe the battle plot of Warcraft?

Many players have sent a barrage to prepare to ask.

However, in the next second, something that shocked countless people happened.

The screen in the live room went black.

A line of large characters appears in the middle.

'The anchor you follow has been down! ’

Countless players have question marks on their faces.

This is why the original experience version of "Monster Hunter: World" was broken, and the demo version of "Warcraft" was broken before, and now I come forward to show them the balance, and finally break a chapter to sell it?

Is this still human?

………………

The next day, the topic of Chen Xu's live broadcast of "Warcraft" also became a hot topic of the day.

Obviously this is a huge hot topic.

Of course, there are also bald photos of two well-known professional commentators.

Many players who didn't know about this matter were shocked to see the news released by the game media.

At the same time, on the ladder of the entire "Warcraft", countless players also chose the three races of night elves, undead and humans.

When there is no way who can let Chen Xu live broadcast, just play these three?

Just like most people have an itchy hand after watching a wonderful video collection, and want to start the game and operate it.

The same is true for all players who have watched Chen Xu's live broadcast.

And after choosing the race, the paths of these players are all the same.

The night elves started the Beastmaster, the undead barracks spawned spiders, and the humans rushed towards the house with a group of peasants.

However, in the hands of ordinary players, these tactics formed a very strange picture.

The player of the night elf first started the Beastmaster to harass someone's house, and then the pig died.

Use the ancient tree of war to go to the big field for leveling, and then the hatred blood volume is not good. In the case of insufficient female hunters, the ancient tree of war is directly exploded by A.

Neutralized Fire Demon and took a group of peasants to repair the sentry towers in other people's homes. As a result, one of them collapsed and none of the peasants they brought survived.

However, for many RTS masters, Chen Xu's several sets of play have also benefited them a lot, and they have begun to study more seriously. Some units and arms that have been ignored by them before.

This time, they also completely understood that the game "Warcraft" really cannot be understood with conventional RTS game experience. ,

Because even the same tactic will have different effects depending on the different spawn points on the map.

Moreover, these sets of play styles of Chen Xu are also not completely copied and easy to use.

On the small map, it is very easy to use the hair stream to fight orcs, because it is more convenient for harassment and reconnaissance, and it is a wolf cavalry of the orcs.

But on the big map and the empty map, the wolf cavalry tactics of the orcs can complete the two-level reversal.

Taking advantage of the mobility of the Wolf Rider, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was constantly harassed and restrained, and the effect of the strongest wave of 50 population in the early and mid-term of the hair stream could not be played at all, and it could only end with hatred.

The same is true for the chaotic mine flow and the fire magic tower. They all have advantages and disadvantages, and it is necessary to make a discretionary choice.

And this is the charm of "Warcraft".

During this period, no one said which race was too weak or which race was too strong.

Because all players understand that different races have their own characteristics.

Chen Xu has already explained it with his own actions.

There is no invincible race, only the strongest players who use corresponding tactics to deal with different situations.

But while not many people talk about the balance of "Warcraft".

But another thing has become a point of discussion for many players.

That is the new version update mentioned by Chen Xu in the live broadcast yesterday.
