Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

The topic of the balance of "Warcraft" on the Internet is very concerned for many players who like RTS games.

Especially some players who are attracted by "Warcraft", although they say that the imbalance has become an orc hegemony, but in essence, they still hope that the official can respond faster, such as balancing the current version.

Finally, these players also waited for the corresponding response, that is, the response was a little different from what they expected.

"There is no problem with the balance in "Warcraft". There is no argument that the orcs are too strong. Each race has its own unique tactics and gameplay. Only the strongest player does not have the strongest race. On Sunday, I will Live "Warcraft" on Shark TV platform and have friendly exchanges with the professional players who participated in this gold competition, so as to have a balanced display."

When Chen Xu's news was sent out, players soon noticed this official blog.

Not only players, including some industry games are inside the studio of Hero Entertainment.

Zhou Qi, who grinned like a sunflower, also noticed Chen Xu's official blog, and suddenly looked confused.

Regarding the balance of "Warcraft", it is not his hands. Although "War of Humans" has a direct interest relationship with "Warcraft" of Nebula Games, but because of the major channels of the Nebula game platform, you can wait a long time. Made a mistake with Nebula Games.

Even before he even thought about doing it, this wave of news about balance came up.

In the beginning, what he also wanted to see was how Chen Xu would deal with this balancing incident.

There is a problem with balance. In fact, this matter is serious, but it is not serious.

The key is to see how the game makers respond.

In the face of balance problems, in general, game designers publicly express an apology to the player, and then respond quickly to adjust the value, and this matter will pass.

As for the subsequent balance and imbalance, it will take a period of time to test.

After all, balance is something that needs constant adjustment.

Every adjustment will always have strengths and weaknesses, and many game designers, even some **** players, are aware of this time.

At this time, Zhou Qi felt that it was a good opportunity for "Human War" to take a breather.

And he, including most players and designers, thought that Chen Xu should give feedback immediately, saying that he would strengthen the undead, night elves or weaken the orcs.

But they never expected that Chen Xu would actually play such a trick.

Playing "Warcraft" live to prove the balance problem of "Warcraft"?

What is this operation!

Including many players, are also shocked.

"I'll go. If I understand correctly, Chen Xu is trying to live stream Warcraft to prove that the game balance is okay?"

"No, no, no, Chen Xu doesn't really think that he is better than those professional players?"

"I think Chen Xu must have the confidence to do this, and as a game designer, he must have a unique understanding, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. My mind still thinks I'm a game master, but my hand says I'm not."

"The live broadcast hasn't been broadcast yet. How can you be sure that Chen Xu can't do it? I think Chen Xu said so, he must be sure, think about the previous "Monster Hunter: World""

"I have a hammer to grasp it. I used to play AI. Now I'm playing against real players, and I'm still a professional brother. Can Chen Xu know more about balance than professional players?"

"Why can't I understand? Chen Xu is a game designer!"

"Just kidding, he, Chen Xu, is a gamer who knows the **** about Warcraft!"

"To be reasonable, Chen Xu will use four races, and each race will lose a professional brother, doesn't this prove that the game is balanced?"

"?????? Although I really want to laugh at what you said, but Chen Xu is not a fool, can he do such a thing?"

Online players quarrel and chatter.

Mainly divided into three camps.

Watching the drama and eating melon camp, just waiting for Chen Xu to give an accurate answer on the live broadcast that day.

In addition, there are some players who believe in Chen Xu more, and feel that since Chen Xu dares to say this, he will definitely not aim at nothing. Maybe he really has one or two good hands?

After all, they are game designers.

The rest of the players felt that Chen Xu probably didn't want to admit that there was a problem with the game balance.

After all, it's not like this has happened before. The official dead duck mouth is hard, indicating that the game is no problem, it's your players who have problems.

………………

Nebula Games, in the lounge during the lunch break, a group of people are chatting with each other.

Mainly for the current news content on the Internet.

"Many people on the Internet are questioning, Brother Qin, do you think Mr. Chen's "Warcraft" is really good?" A colleague asked Qin Yi.

Everyone looked at Qin Yi.

"I don't know about that, but it's no problem to hang and beat us." Qin Yi scratched his head and said.

After all, Chen Xu really hadn't played many games in front of them, that is, during the previous development, when an internal test was conducted, the three of them were hung up and played.

"What's your technical level like, Brother Qin?" someone asked.

"So-so, let's add up to a level of more than 2,000 points." Qin Yi coughed lightly.

2000 points? It sounds very high!

Hearing Qin Yi's words, everyone showed a surprised expression, ignoring the three words 'together'.

At this time, Lin Rou interjected: "Brother Qin, what he said was put together."

together?

So you are all rookies?

"Cough, stop talking, look at this, Mr. Chen has a stalk now!" Facing the strange eyes of several people, Qin Yi quickly changed the subject.

Then display the information on the phone.

Above is a hot search entry that just rushed up.

'Chen Xu is a gamer, he knows a hammer of Warcraft! ’

Seeing this entry, everyone was instantly happy.

"Haha, what is this situation, where did it come from?"

"It's so hard for President Chen to know this."

"I think Mr. Chen should be used to it."

Everyone was overjoyed looking at this hot search entry.

At this time, Chen Xu, who had just confirmed with Shark TV, walked out of the office. Looking at the overwhelmed crowd, Chen Xu was a little curious: "What are you happy about?"

Ruan Ningxue smiled and handed the phone to Chen Xu: "Mr. Chen, you have to be strong!"

"What the hell." Chen Xu was a little speechless when he looked at the hot search entry, but his mentality didn't change much.

After all, he is used to it, and players are always full of misunderstandings about him.

"But Mr. Chen, can you really beat those professional players?" Yang Xin and others next to him also asked curiously.

They also watched Chen Xu play "Warcraft" in their spare time, but not against real people, but against the AI ​​in the company.

As for whether it is powerful or not, they don't know, they can't beat it anyway.

"Generally, you can play a dozen times. People like Guadi can only rely on tactics and play on the spot." Chen Xu said with a smile.

He still has a bit of confidence in deciding this. If these professional players know all kinds of tactics, have already understood the many ways of playing this game and understand how to deal with it, then he can easily be overwhelmed by the actions of some players.

But he is a dimensionality reduction blow, and there is a special prop, which is his confidence.

And for him, it's actually an opportunity, and "Monster Hunter: World" also had this consideration before.

Let the player know that he is a player in addition to the game designer.

After such a person is established, it is also very helpful for the subsequent game content advancement.

After all, being a designer, and also a pretty good player, actually adds a sense of identity to the player.

At least when you are confused about the content of the game, the first reaction of the player will not be that the game value or the level design is wrong, and the designer is sick again.
