Chapter 542: Dota
"Maps? , Mike stretched out his hand, not at all interested in the map that Chen Jiayi said.
"Chen, don't you know that our Warcraft can customize the map?"
The obvious meaning of this sentence is that it is not interested in the map that Chen Jiayi said.
Of course, this is understandable. In Mike's eyes, Warcraft has developed a custom map generator for players, so that there will be a variety of different maps around the world, which also makes the whole game full of big thorns. However, how could Mike now know that in later generations, it was because of a map that once again pushed Warcraft 3 to the top.
This map is the full name of the legendary daTa, deFenseoFTheanTs. Translated, it means guarding ancient trees, guarding traces, and guarding ancient ruins. As the name suggests, the goal of the game is to defend one's own Ancient Traces (the Tree of Life on the Guardian side, the Frozen Throne on the Scourge side) and destroy the Ancient Traces of the opposing side.
In order to reach the opponent's ancient trails, one side must defeat the opposing army, defenses, and the Hero.
That's how the whole map is confronted. It seems that there is nothing special about this map, but anyone who has played daTa knows that daTa is the most sè Warcraft RPG map in the world so far.
Seeing that Mike didn't feel up, Chen Jiayi was a little helpless. Just talking about it, daTa doesn't show his character. Only through actual combat, then, you can feel the classics of this map. For this reason, after Chen Jiayi shook his head at Mike, he said, "My old friend, perhaps, you still don't know what kind of changes this map will bring to Warcraft.
It's better to "let's fight against it, and you will understand how classic this custom map is." ”
Mike was about to refuse, but then he thought about it and said secretly, "I don't know what this guy wants to do." Moreover, Mike has a lot of hatred for Chen Jiayi. However, I have to say that Mike knows that Chen Jiayi's understanding of games and the planning of games have an amazing talent. Even Allen, who is the core of Blizzard's research, when he mentioned Chen Jia, "said that he couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with him."
So, at this time, Mike also wants to take a look, what will Chen Jiayi bring them? So, Mike stood up and took Chen Jiayi to the game research room, "Hey, everyone take a rest first." Our genius Chen: "He made me a Warcraft Fight 3 custom map. He said that this one map can bring a huge change to our Warcraft. I'm a little bit unconvinced, but to prove it, let's try out with Chan the map he came up with. ”
"OK" pk, we want to see it too. ”
Hearing Mike's introduction, the researchers in the laboratory, like Mike, were in great disbelief. However, whoever is called Chen Jiayi has always performed so perfectly. Even if they don't believe it, they can't say it to their faces. Therefore, after Mike finished introducing "soon, 8 staff members have walked out" and Chen Jiayi, Mike entered the formal confrontation.
"Very good, but before I start playing, let me explain how this one game works. ”
These are the founders of Warcraft, and their understanding of the game can be said to be the top. For example, in terms of details, even if it is Chen Jiayi, he can't compare to them. Originally, there was nothing else, Chen Jia was in a big situation, he only looked at the major directions, and he didn't study too much in terms of details. Moreover, Chen Jiayi did not have time to study these details. If Chen Jiayi is asked to do this, then he is not a person in charge, he is just a part-time worker.
"Our map is a little different from the regular Warcraft confrontation. In our map, each player can choose a hero. Of course, some of the specific characteristics of Yingjie are shown above. Then, we win the whole battle by controlling this one and cooperating with each other. ”
It seems, it's that simple.
Of course, Chen Jiayi also mentioned some other details.
For example, players can level up their Heroes by killing opposing creeps or killing them in battle to gain gold and experience, and they can also earn a lot of money by destroying opposing towers. More experience can increase Ying Jie's skills or increase his genus, and money can be used to buy more powerful equipment in the store, these are all basic, and don't want Chen Jiayi to introduce them. ,,"Got it?"
,“yes? ”
It seems simple, everyone answers.
"That's good, let's start now." ”
With a start, the daTa Warcraft battle officially kicked off.
Chen Jiayi knew that maybe, this was the world's first daTa confrontation in history.
Later, when someone posted a video of Chen Jiayi fighting with Blizzard staff, there was a big label written on it, called, "The beginning of an epic." Since then, it is in this war that daTa has once again made Warcraft 3 popular in the world.
"Oh my God, that's so prickly." ”
"God, there is such a map. ”
"I couldn't believe it. ”
The end of the first round. The expressions of the crowd became crazy, they loved this map so much. They didn't expect that the world would be able to open such a map. If this map is laid out, then Warcraft 3, which is now popular in the world, may cause another period of madness.
Even, this one madness will also slightly stop the rise of online games.
"Mike, how about this map?" ”
Looking at their different expressions, Chen Jiayi knew that the reason why a classic is a classic is because he can show his madness whenever he wants. Although Chen Jiayi and Mike played a game, Chen Jiayi believed that their understanding of the entire doTa map had reached a very high level.
After all, who called them the founders of Warcraft. They only tried it out a little, and they knew the advantages of it.
Especially, when the game starts, they are already aware of how this one map works. As a result, they joined forces in the 5V5 confrontation ** and played one scene after another. This is placed in other Warcraft maps, and it is impossible to have such a stabbing and fierce gameplay. And this kind of gameplay is so technical.
Hearing Chen Jiayi's rhetorical question, Mike didn't answer directly, but said, "Let's play a few more games." ”
"yes, I think so too. ”
Just finished a game, and they already feel the classics of this map. However, now they have forgotten who they are and are completely just gamers. For a gamer, when he comes across a fun game after that. Naturally, they want to play a little longer.
"No problem, you play with you." ”
The reason why doTa is doTa is that it has a special sè that no other map has. The more you play, the more you will emerge, a classic of this game. In order to let them better experience the advantages of this map, I didn't say it, Chen Jiayi played with them.
Two hours later, the group finally finished.
"It's so enjoyable. ”
This feeling is really much more exciting than opening a game by yourself.
"Chen, I think we can discuss it individually. Then, Myron glanced at Chen Jiayi and returned to the office with Chen Jiayi.
"Chen's map is very bāng, it's really very sè, how did you come up with it?" ”
After these few rounds, Mike has summarized the advantages of the doTa map.
First of all, Mike thinks that the team battles on this map are really jīng color.
In the D North A team battle, different configurations of our "Yingji" and different opponents' "different time periods and different locations choose to start the battle", all of which need to be judged by each player.
If a player is unfortunately caught by the opponent, whether to turn back to save people or lose Mu Baoshuai, but also through the player's own choice, without careful examination, if you choose an inappropriate time to start a war, the light will sacrifice the team members, the heavy will be the team annihilation, causing the enemy to expand the advantage and then push away all the way, which will affect the subsequent trend.
This happens from time to time.
As a member of the team, everyone is responsible not only for themselves, but also for the whole team. Victory is not one, victory comes from the tacit cooperation of teammates. From the selection of the lineup, tactical arrangement, sneak attack and escape, the selection of the decisive battle location, the offensive and defensive strategy arrangement, the slightest player who can't keep up with the whole team's thinking is a mistake, and the whole game is lost. The two sides should not only consider the macro tactical arrangements, but also change the arrangements and arrangements according to the actual situation to win a local war.
For this, World of Warcraft's Copen, inherited this very well.
That's why, although World of Warcraft is an online game. However, his technique is not at all inferior to that of a single-click competitive game. In this way, this World of Warcraft can create the madness of the whole world. The success of Blizzard in later generations is not unreasonable. It is not an exaggeration to say that the World of Warcraft in the future is the most outstanding online game in the world. , followed by the flat xìng of the system...... In the mountains, Yingqi is not a hundred horns. Whether it is strength, agility or intelligence, it has a very important role, there is no problem of which is too powerful, and it will not reach a perverted value, and every point of xìng may affect victory or defeat. This is a rare occurrence in many similar games. Therefore, the relative weakness of Yingtai determines that it needs the cooperation of teammates at any time, and many Yingtai can have many complicated changes, and different Yingtai can also choose different prop routes, and the coordination and tactics of doTa are summarized in actual combat.
Balancing xìng determines the playable xìng of the game, and the playable xìng determines the myriad of tactics.
All of these have made Warcraft enter another tactical confrontation.
Of course, in addition to team battles and balance xìng, such as u's out sè technique does not stop there.
Like his prop skills, as an ancient gray player, if you don't know this, presumably, you are just a rookie. Because, compared to other battle games,. North Q does not have so many unspoken rules that must be followed, and a variety of props and skills have created an incredible variety of plays, in many of the orthodox ways of playing, there are dozens of skill books and equipment schemes to choose from, and how to use limited money to wield the maximum effect on the enemy, which is something that every player is willing to study.
This is just a skill, in addition to that, the item system is also very large. Perhaps for players who are new to doTa games, they will definitely be attracted by such a huge prop system.
However, just like skills, it is unrealistic to cultivate certain skills and buy those props in a strong form, and these props will not have the ability to turn over in an instant, and the props applicable to each Ying Dai are also different, which constitutes the wonderful equipment of doTa, and players can decide the direction of their own Ying Dai. The orientation of props is an important concept in doTa, and players must better weigh the choice of props at different times.
For one, these characteristics, Myron even did not fully grasp. But when he tried it out, he knew. This doTa map will be such a sè system. Even, this one map, he is a complete game strategy. Their play, his direction, can be an instructor for many games.
This episode is not an exaggeration.
"Chen, I think you're not here just to recommend a map to us. ”
Mike is the CEO of Blizzard, and he has a unique business acumen. This in later generations, the clever Mike" he has proven to the world. The reason why Blizzard is not making money in online games now is that it is completely cheated by Chen Jia. Moreover, even if it is not a pit. With the influence of Tang Dynasty Network, it is even more difficult for Blizzard to enter this market.
Facing a reborn person, "Just ask, how many people can make a powerful counterattack?"
"My friend, you're amazing. ”
Chen Jia nodded, if he came to Blizzard just to play a few doTas with them, it was purely an egg pain.
"I'm sure you've seen it just now, doTa classics. I think that as long as we distribute doTa, then Warcraft 3 may cause another global hit. This will have a very big europium sales promotion effect for our Warcraft 3. ”
In later generations, the europium sales at the beginning of Warcraft 3 were far less crazy. It wasn't until Warcraft 3 was launched for a while, especially since the launch of the Frozen Throne, that his europium sales were booming. However, just a few years later, people thought that Warcraft 3 would be like this, and no matter how much Europium was sold, there would not be many results. The emergence of doTa, no, it should be that after doTa became popular all over the world, this Warcraft 3 came to another europium sale**.
It's a pity that later, even Warcraft 3 caused europium sales to be popular because of doTa.
However, at that time, Blizzard slowed down their research on click-through games for a long time due to the launch of World of Warcraft. Like his Warcraft 4, Dark, Interstellar, etc., have stopped continuing to upgrade or update.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that these three one-click games have accelerated the pace of adapting online games.
"Yes, Chen, your vision has always been very accurate, and I agree with it."
Mike is now friendly, even smiling when he talks.
"Hehe, thank you." ”
Seeing that Biaoke temporarily put aside his hatred for himself, Chen Jiayi knew that his first step was a success.
"Perhaps, we will see that when Ruu appears, the europium sales of our Warcraft 3 may increase by another 5o%." ,
,“5o%? ”
"No, this can't be? ”
Mike denied it outright.
He is well aware of the world click game market. Warcraft 3 is now selling very hot, especially with the help of Tang Dynasty Company, the europium sales data of Warcraft 3 even feels too much. Even if doTa appears, it can once again bring a Europium Maniac cháo to Warcraft, but to say that it will increase by 5o on top of the original Europium sales data, even Mike doesn't believe it.
"Oh, then, how about we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"If this europium sales data can reach 5o% of the original, then, Blizzard will stop the online game plan 1, join forces with our Tang Dynasty Network again, and open Warcraft 4, what do you think?"
"What if it doesn't reach it?"
"If it doesn't reach the Interstellar and Dark online game plan, I can invite Blizzard to add more."
This bet was spoken, but Mike pondered.
Judging from the impact of online games now, the future must be the battlefield of online games.
So, Mike really didn't want to give up. It's just that now they are also facing a problem.
That is, what type of online game should they open. Although, they have now started to open a 3D online game engine. However, an engine is an engine and a game is a game. With an engine alone, no games, and no money. At most, selling engines, it seems, is not an optimistic thing.
According to Chen Jiayi's bet. If the europium sales data is real, it can really reach 5o% of the original europium sales, and for Blizzard, I am afraid it will be a big profit. Of course, even if it doesn't reach it, Blizzard will be able to participate in the interstellar and dark online game plan.
"It seems that this bet is not harmful to us Blizzard?" ”
"Yes, I think so too. ”
Mike, it seems, agreed.
"In that case, why don't we say yes?" ”
Finally, Mike's words reached a future cooperation plan with Chen Jiayi.
"Mike, my friend, you are really too wise. ”
Chen Jiayi laughed, hugged Mike deeply, and finally said, "Mike, although the online game is good. However, I would like to say that the click game, he is no less classic. ”a。
