Chen Xu, including everyone in the Nebula Game team, did not pay too much attention to the discussions on the Internet about 'beating the dog to death' and other comments.
This can be considered a current habit of Nebula Games.
That is to concentrate on playing games.
Don't pay too much attention to the various comments made by online players, and wait until the game comes out to find out more about it.
The game development stage is mainly about game development.
Of course, at this stage, apart from the map editor, "Warcraft" has not yet joined the subsequent map editor community.
The relevant settings of the entire game have basically been completed.
Various servers for multiplayer modes have been set up.
At the same time, the corresponding rank score matching system has also been improved.
As for the map, matching and ranking are divided into two modes.
There are quite a lot of matching maps, and Chen Xu has produced about 15 so far.
As for the ranking map, because of the need to consider a balance of the lineup, Chen Xuzhi selected some more classic game maps from the previous life, such as: Twisted Green Grass (tm), Turtle Map (tr), Lost Temple (lt), King's Territory (ts), Echo Island (ei), Gnoll Forest (gw)
And in fact, these maps are not completely balanced.
For example, the map tr can be said to be the home ground of the elves, because most of the neutral monsters on this map are turtles, and the turtles have a passive skill, that is, melee units will receive a certain amount of rebound damage when attacking, while the orcs are large Part of the firepower is melee soldiers, which are very disadvantageous when mining, online, and collecting treasures. On the other hand, most of the elves use long-range support with the Raptor Druid skill Elf Fire (armor reduction), which has a natural advantage.
And when we get to lt, this map will become the home ground of the orcs, because there is a building called the Life Spring in the map. As long as you get close to it, you can continuously restore your blood volume, and the orc infantry has the highest health volume among all races. It has a human shield, so fighting near the water spring will have an advantage, and you can get rid of the water spring very early and get rich experience and good treasures.
Furthermore, there are no taverns on this map. For example, some tactics of the human race cannot be implemented by the orcs, so they can better utilize their advantages.
It can be said that each map has its own characteristics, which also gave players in the previous life a very unique view of "Warcraft", that is, there are no unbalanced races, but only unbalanced maps.
This can be considered an inevitable situation. After all, the four races each have their own characteristics.
Therefore, in terms of ranking, Chen Xu also added the ban selection function.
Players on both sides choose their respective races before the game, and then ban the map. They can ban a map they don't want to play, and then draw from the remaining map pool.
After some follow-up planning, Chen Xu stretched and walked out of the office.
In the rest area, because the development work of the game has been completed for the time being, everyone in the team is still relatively relaxed.
And everyone has also started to like the new and dislike the old. Instead of continuing to play "Monster Hunter: World", they have started playing "Warcraft".
"Oh, you're pulling a peasant!"
"Don't block the intersection!"
"Spread the dust of manifestation!"
"How can I help you?"
Yang Xin, Ruan Ningxue, Qin Yi and Lin Tao were sitting in a row.
Human race, orc race, night elves and undead race, no one is left behind.
The opponent they faced was an orc user.
At this moment, a level 6 Juggernaut is using Blade Storm to massacre.
After the sword master released the Blade Storm, he immediately activated the Wind Step and disappeared without waiting for the King of the Hill's hammer to take action.
"Oh, sister Xin, with this operation, the sword master has already traveled an unknown distance before you spread the dust of manifestation."
"Yes, yes, this has been going on for such a long time. Sister Xin, why do you only have 1 hill, 8 musketeers and 2 cavalry with all your wealth!"
"Yes, sister Xin, you already have three books. Why can't you create two heroes if you can?"
Listening to the words of his colleagues next to him, Yang Xin, who was sitting in front of the computer, turned red.
"To be honest, I definitely can't recruit this hero, I can't control it, and I need experience when leveling up!"
"As for why there are so few soldiers, haven't you looked at my house? With so many defense towers, whoever comes will die!"
Ruan Ningxue glanced at Yang Xin's screen and was a little speechless: "Sister Xin, this hero has high attack and powerful skills! I tell you it doesn't need to be so complicated. You select all the units and then go over and forget about it. Then control your most powerful Just play with the hero you want, since the minions will automatically hit people anyway."
As a skilled "Warcraft" player, Ruan Ningxue teaches her A-level skills.
"Mr. Chen, do you think what I said is right?" At this time, Ruan Ningxue also noticed Chen Xu walking over and asked.
"Hmm... For novices, let's start by training a hero first, then move on to heroes and units, then multiple units, and finally operations." Chen Xu thought for a while and said something that sounded useful. But it feels very useless.
After all, if you let him play by himself, he will play well, but if you teach others, he will have no idea how to do it.
Moreover, these four people were able to fight a maddening computer man for such a long time, and judging from the battle situation, it seemed that they might not be able to defeat him, which also surprised him.
"By the way, how are the pre-sale sales of Mr. Chen's "Warcraft"?" Qin Yi asked as he thought of something.
After hearing Qin Yi's words, the rest of the people also looked at Chen Xu with concern.
Everyone is still very concerned about this issue.
Because the game "Warcraft" can be said to be the game that Nebula Games has invested the most in.
Mainly because CG is too expensive.
Moreover, the modeling is even based on general RPG standards.
Can this be done without burning money
"It's not like you don't know the quality of the game, why should you worry about sales." Chen Xu said with a smile.
But I still revealed it to them.
"There is no pre-sale model overseas because there are still some problems with the review. It will probably be launched within a week in China. However, domestic pre-sale sales have exceeded 3 million. It may be a little difficult to recover the cost on the first day. Achieved, but the sales profit in the first week is not a problem, and this is under the premise of excluding overseas sales." Chen Xu said with a smile.
Everyone was excited when they heard this number.
This number is not the best number for Nebula games. The best one so far is "Minecraft", followed by "Monster Hunter: World".
But obviously it was a big success.
The quality, content, and current sales of the game itself have also given them a shot in the arm.
This time everyone in the team is full of confidence, believing that "Warcraft" will definitely become a well-received and popular game and redefine the concept of RTS games!
… …
On November 15th, "Warcraft" is officially released!
After playing the trial version before, the popularity of "Warcraft" can be said to be unparalleled.
On the official blog, the Fall of Lordaeron and Arthas have become hotly searched terms.
On video websites, there are many uploaders who have mixed and edited CG scenes in "Warcraft", and they have also received a high number of views.
For players, whether they are players attracted by the plot or players attracted by the special gameplay.
Obviously they can't wait to experience this real RTS masterpiece.
