Chapter 809: I'm not in charge of this game

Some of the words sprayed are more ugly.

The anger of these StarCraft players is understandable.

Moreover, even if you are not a loyal player of StarCraft, you are a little dissatisfied with Jester's move.

Because as far as RTS games are concerned, the current excellence and popularity of "StarCraft" are obvious, and the most important thing for Mars Entertainment at this time should not be to forcibly extract talents from the "StarCraft" development team to develop a "Warcraft" from Raushzi.

It's not that there's anything wrong with developing Warcraft 3, there's a lot of demand in this gamer's community, and it's normal to develop it, but it shouldn't be drawn from the StarCraft development team, and if it's any other time, it's just that, and it's obviously extremely inappropriate to pull people from this at a time when StarCraft's expansion "Brood Wars" is being developed.

Although Pardo did not express his dissatisfaction verbally, and Jester also said in an interview that he had a long talk with Pardo before the project of "Warcraft 3", and the establishment of the "Warcraft 3" development team was also strongly supported by Pardo, but in the eyes of players, as the opinion of the general boss of Mars Entertainment, Pardo is just the head of the development team.

How can you force yourself with someone who pays your salary?

Because as long as any person with a normal IQ is unwilling to do this, and Pardo was the first to reveal this matter in an interview, which also shows his dissatisfaction with this matter.

At the beginning, Pardo just said that there were several very important people in the development team of "StarCraft" who were to be seconded, so it was very likely that "Brood War" would not be released on time, but even if he was asked at the time, he did not say what he was seconded to do or what project he was involved in, and now Jester's interview directly gave a very clear answer to this question.

That is. Jester has been drawn from the best RTS game development team currently working on the world's best RTS game led by the world's best RTS designers to develop a new RTS - and most importantly, the expansion pack for the world's best RTS is also being worked on by players.

What did Jester take the wrong medicine that led to the idea of not fully supporting the development of "Brood War", but instead developing a "Warcraft 3" that does not know what the future holds?

Moreover, the feedback from players who played the first beta version of Brood War is that this expansion will completely elevate StarCraft as a game to unprecedented heights, or even put it another way. "Brood War" will be a new game compared to "StarCraft", and this feeling will be very deep when you play it.

Even on the forums, there are a lot of StarCraft fans who put Rob . Pardo calls it the man who redefined the game with expansions.

In this case, Jester still has to force an RTS game, can this RTS game be able to do better than "StarCraft" - or rather, what is the point of making a new magical version of "StarCraft"?

That's why. This post was enthusiastically replied to by countless players in a short period of time, and became the second most popular post in the entire player community, after the discussion about Jester's new game, as the announcement of the new game was accompanied by the announcement of the demo video. Therefore, players are still very enthusiastic about the new game, and there are even countless people who are fantasizing about the gameplay of "Monster Hunter".

Even more directly, this is simply the game they have always dreamed of.

Imagine forming a personal squad with your buddies to hunt a dragon! The feeling is simply incomparable!

Especially when the video production is very epic. Players are also starting to fantasize about how they can play this game themselves, whether it can be so handsome!

And according to Jester, Monster Hunter will adopt the same celestial system as Diablo 2. For this player, it is infinitely praised - how can I be realistic without this thing, how powerful I am, and the ladder of "Monster Hunter" will have unique rewards, even the ladder of Diablo 2 has so many people who have no rewards, just to be able to raise their character ranking by one place.

Not to mention this.

However, some players still expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that although Jester said that there are many ways to get the appearance reward of the cock bombing in the game, there are only appearance rewards, and there will be no attribute rewards, which may not be too attractive to those real masters.

But it was soon countered that the reward was the best.

If only the best people were able to get something with the best stats, it would be unfair to most players.

However, there are still people who believe that it is not impossible for masters to get some special rewards, even if they are on the stats, because they have put in more practice time than ordinary players, so they should get something better.

Just as they were arguing about this issue, suddenly in the reply at the back of the post, a blue post appeared, and the poster of the blue post was none other than Jester. Lee – This is the second time Jester has posted on the forums since the last time he discussed Monster Hunter with players on the forums, and it's all the same game.

You can see how much attention Jester attaches to the game "Monster Hunter".

You know, in previous games, Jester has never appeared on the forum to interact with players - of course, there are also reasons why the network is not strong enough in the past, and the number of people on the forum is still too small.

On top of that, the game "Heroes" started working six years ago, and Mars Entertainment's player community forum only started four years ago.

As soon as Jester's blue post reply was sent, it was immediately quoted and replied by dozens of players at the same time.

Their problems are very similar.

This is the question that has been hotly discussed before, that is, as he said at the pre-show press conference of E3, is the appearance of the ladder's high-ranking rewards and various challenge rewards just different appearances, but not attributes? Jester was quick to answer, yes.

Soon, someone asked why? Wouldn't it be better to give some absolute experts some better rewards to support more people to keep practicing and get rewards?

Jester's reply was: "Personally, I think that the equipment above the attribute is obtained. It should be all players who only have hard work, can do it, for example, the reward of the all-weapon challenge, we will have different rewards in the face of different monsters, the highest reward is our current setting is to reward the set drawings of the epic hero, and it is a full set, which is also the current game project, the only, you can get an epic hero equipment set blueprint at a time. ”

"And the all-weapon challenge reward is that players who are willing to work hard as long as they don't really lack the talent of this game. You can get the reward, because the attribute of this thing, can be directly fed back in the game, can improve the player's experience, we attach great importance to this, we want the player as long as they want, will not lose all the game experience. ”

"However, if we reward the ladder high rankings with excellent gear – it certainly can't be rubbish gear, because it doesn't make much sense. Then only a small part of this can be obtained, and these people will become strong because of this, and the vast majority of people, probably 99.999 percent of the people, will not be able to do it. It doesn't matter if you practice hard or play hard, because there are so many people, and it's not fair to those who work the same hard. ”

"But. It's impossible not to reward ranked players, because we feel that players deserve to be rewarded for putting in so much effort. That's why we came up with this cosmetic reward, but internally we call it transmogification, and you can use the transmog items awarded to you to transform your equipment into your bonus items. ”

After Jester explained for a long time, the players also understood.

Still, someone asked, "Isn't that still a minority of people who can have this kind of experience, and the majority of players, as you said, 99.999 percent of the people, can't do it?"

Although Jester was a little disdainful of the other party's ability to understand, he still replied, he now somewhat likes the feeling of posting blue stickers on the forum, when he played Blizzard's games, he was watching the blue stickers on the forum of the American server every day.

"You still don't understand what I mean, I'm talking about the full experience of the game, like, how often can you fight a very difficult monster? What we have to do is, whether you get the transformation reward of the ladder or not, to do this on a horizontal line, that is, if you have a friend during the game, he has a handsome transformation suit, in addition to being able to make you blind and envious, the others are not able to make him play faster than you - depending on which of you is the real big ~ leg There is only one reason, that is, your equipment and your skills. ”

"Of course, since there are some, then there will inevitably be some element of luck, to take the simplest example, for example, the attribute of critical hits, you crit every time and your friend can crit once out of ten, then you must be much more efficient than him."

Jester's slightly humorous reply was immediately supported by everyone.

When Jester was discussing "Monster Hunter" in full swing, suddenly a slightly discordant reply attracted a lot of attention, this was a "StarCraft" fan post, his speech was a little angry, he was very angry and asked Jester, why was named in another very popular post next to him was scolding the dog bloody, but he didn't see it at all, just interacting with a group of players who knelt and licked themselves.

This sentence annoyed this group of brain-dead fans who were looking forward to "Monster Hunter" and Jester, and they also began to ridicule each other.

As a result, it quickly turned into an extremely chaotic scolding war.

In desperation, Jester saw that the situation was out of control, so he had to temporarily close the reply permission to this post discussing "Monster Hunter", and then he reopened a blue post, explaining the question asked by the "StarCraft" fans just now, why he turned a blind eye to the post that scolded him as SB just now.

It's not that he didn't see it, in fact, the first post he browsed after logging into the community was this one scolding him, and he saw the end with relish.

The reason why he was not involved in the discussion is simple.

That is, the game is still top secret in the company, and no one else knows about it except the review committee and the development preparation team.

So, he doesn't talk about this game too much now, and now, many people haven't calmed down, no matter how he explains it, I'm afraid the effect won't be great, and the third and most important reason is that this game is not his responsibility, but the planning of the core gameplay of the game that he completed together, as the main producer of this game, he shouldn't point fingers at this game.

What's more, as the boss of Mars Entertainment, some of his opinions on the game, even if a designer doesn't like this, but in order not to let himself be embarrassed, he forcibly added it to the game.

In Jester's opinion, this is highly undesirable.

Because the designer himself who knows a game best must be the designer himself, if he himself thinks it's not good, and a person who has only played it a few times says a little comment, it is regarded as the Bible, that is really not a suitable developer's attitude, but because his prestige is too strong, this is almost inevitable, so he rarely evaluates how the game should be done and how it should be played, which is not his responsibility.

At most, it is only involved in the creation of core players.

Although Jester explained for a long time, StarCraft players quickly captured the most critical information of so many replies, that is, will "Warcraft 3" be developed by Jester himself?

This is said to be a project that Jester asked him to reboot, a project that is destined to go head-to-head with his own StarCraft, and it is not Jester who is in charge.

So who still has this ability in the entire Mars entertainment?

At this moment, even people who had some expectations for this game before suddenly had the idea that this game was doomed without being developed.

Because Jester is a person who can turn decay into magic, and the others are not. (To be continued......)
