The topic of the balance of "Warcraft" on the Internet is of great concern to many players who like RTS games.
Especially some players who are attracted by "Warcraft", although they say that imbalance has become Orc War, in essence, they still hope that the official can respond faster, such as making balance for the current version.
Finally, these players also waited for the corresponding response, but this response was a little different from what they expected.
"There is no problem with the balance in "Warcraft". There is no saying that the orcs are too strong. Each race has its own unique tactics and gameplay. Only the strongest players do not have the strongest race. On Sunday, I will Live broadcast of "Warcraft" on the Shark TV platform and have friendly exchanges with the professional players participating in the gold competition to provide a balanced display."
After Chen Xu's message was sent out, players quickly noticed this official blog.
Not only players, but also some industry games are in the studio of Hero Interactive Entertainment.
Zhou Qi, who grinned like a sunflower, also noticed Chen Xu's official blog and suddenly looked confused.
As for the balance issue of "Warcraft", it is not his fault. Although "Human War" has a direct interest relationship with Nebula Games' "Warcraft", due to the major channels of Nebula Games platform, it has long been waiting. Nebula Games made a mistake.
Before he even thought about taking action, this wave of news about balance started.
What he also wanted to see at the beginning was how Chen Xu responded to this balance incident.
There is a problem with balance. In fact, this matter is very serious if you say it is serious, but it is not serious at all if you say it is not serious.
The key still depends on how game manufacturers respond.
Faced with a situation where there is a problem with balance, generally speaking, game designers publicly express their apology to the players, and then respond quickly and adjust the values, and the matter is over.
As for the subsequent imbalance, it will take a period of testing.
After all, balance requires constant adjustment.
Every adjustment will always have strengths and weaknesses. Many game designers and even some hardcore players are aware of this.
At this point in time, Zhou Qi felt that this was a good opportunity for "Human War" to take a breather.
And he, including most players and designers, believed that Chen Xu should give feedback immediately, indicating that the undead and night elves should be strengthened or the orcs should be weakened.
But they never expected that Chen Xu would play such a trick.
Play "Warcraft" live to prove the balance problem of "Warcraft"
What kind of operation is this!
Many players, including many, were also shocked.
"Here, if I understand correctly, does Chen Xu want to play "Warcraft" live to prove that the game balance is okay?"
"No, no, doesn't Chen Xu 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 hands say I'm not."
"The live broadcast hasn't even been broadcast yet, how can you be sure that Chen Xu can't do it? I think Chen Xu said this, he must be confident, think about the previous "Monster Hunter: World"
"I have a hammer. I used to fight against AI, but now I'm playing against real players, and they're also professionals. Can Chen Xu understand balance better than professional players?"
"Why can't you understand? Chen Xu is the game designer!"
"You're just kidding, Chen Xu is just a gamer and he doesn't know anything about Warcraft!"
"To be fair, when Chen Xu uses four races, each race will lose to the professional brother. Doesn't this prove that the game is balanced?"
"Although I want to laugh at what you said, Chen Xu is not a fool. Can he do such a thing?"
Players online argue and chatter endlessly.
Mainly divided into three camps.
Those in the show-watching camp are waiting for Chen Xu to give an accurate answer during a live broadcast that day.
In addition, there are some players who believe in Chen Xu. They feel that if Chen Xu dares to say this, he will definitely not be aimless. Maybe he really has some useful information
After all, he is a game designer.
The remaining players felt that Chen Xu probably didn't want to admit that there was a problem with the game's balance.
After all, it's not like this has never happened before. The official was stubborn and said that there was no problem with the game, but it was your players who had the problem.
… … … …
Nebula Games, in the lounge during lunch break, a group of people were chatting with each other.
It is mainly aimed at the current news content on the Internet.
"Many people on the Internet are questioning, Brother Qin, do you think Mr. Chen is really good at playing Warcraft?" A colleague asked Qin Yi.
Everyone looked at Qin Yi.
"I don't know about this, but it's okay to beat a few of 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, he hung the three of them up and played during an internal test.
"How's your technical level, Brother Qin?" someone asked.
"It's so so, so it's probably more than 2,000 points in total." Qin Yi coughed lightly.
2000 points? It sounds quite high!
After hearing Qin Yi's words, everyone showed surprised expressions and ignored the three words 'put it together'.
At this time, Lin Rou interrupted: "Brother Qin, what he said is to put it together."
Together
So you are all rookies in co-writing
"Ahem, stop talking. Look at this. Mr. Chen has a new plot now!" Faced with the strange looks from several people, Qin Yi quickly changed the subject.
Then display the information on the phone.
The above is a hot search term that just rushed up.
'Chen Xu is just a gamer, he knows Hammer and Warcraft! '
Seeing this entry, everyone instantly became happy.
"Haha, what's going on with this? Where did it come from?"
"Mr. Chen knows how uncomfortable it is."
"I think Mr. Chen should be used to it."
Everyone was overjoyed to see this popular search term.
At this time, Chen Xu, who had just been confirmed with Shark TV, walked out of the office. Looking at the overjoyed people, Chen Xu was a little curious: "What are you enjoying?"
Ruan Ningxue held back a smile and handed the phone to Chen Xu: "Mr. Chen, you have to be strong!"
"What the hell is this?" Chen Xu was a little speechless looking at the hot search entries, 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.
In their spare time, they also watched Chen Xu play "Warcraft", but it was not against a real person, but against the company's AI.
As for whether it is powerful or not, they don't know, but they can't beat it anyway.
"The average person can fight a dozen, but someone like Guadi can only rely on tactics and improvisation." Chen Xu said with a smile.
He still had some confidence in deciding this. If these professional players knew all kinds of tactics, understood many ways of playing this game and knew how to deal with it, then he would easily be beaten by some players' operations.
But this is a dimension reduction attack, and he also has a special prop, which is his confidence.
And for him, it is actually an opportunity. "Monster Hunter: World" also had this consideration before.
Let the player know that he is not only a game designer, but also a player.
After such a person is established, it will be of great help to the subsequent advancement of game content.
After all, a designer who is also a very powerful player actually gives players a sense of identity.
At least when the player is confused about the content of the game, the first reaction of the player will not be that the game values are wrong or that the level design is wrong, or that the designer has made a mistake again.
