Chapter 892: World of Warcraft will be open beta in half a year

If you talk about what is the most memorable performance program of the Mango TV Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Rooster, many people may say that it is Britney's sexy/sexy tiger skin short skirt, Linkin Park's Chester's roaring skills, Hu Ge and Huang Shengyi's affectionate duet with their eyes discharged, He Wei and Wang Hanming's secret fight, and so on.

But if you say what is the most touching and expected program, the vast majority of people will not choose those tear-jerking and warm sketches, their choice is without exception the commercial "StarCraft 1,2" before the party, and the commercial "World of Warcraft" after the clock strikes zero.

"World of Warcraft" is the largest online game that Longteng players are looking forward to, in the era of rapid development of the Internet, the performance of computer hardware can be doubled every 18 months, China's local IT industry led by Longteng and Huawei is developing extremely rapidly, more and more PCs into ordinary homes, computer and Internet fees are becoming more and more affordable, and a considerable number of players have begun to favor Internet games.

Due to technical reasons and commercial interests, stand-alone games are mainly released on DC2, and PC games are mostly real-time strategy games, online games, and some games that are not easy to operate with controllers.

The World of Warcraft ad is a 1-minute combination of CG special effects and real game graphics, with CG actions and a background in the real game interface.

The orc warrior roared and waved his giant stick covered in flesh, unable to move with a cluster of giant ice picks under his feet, and the cold blue flame burning in the hands of the human female mage on the opposite side was faintly visible. An icy arrow came out of his hand, and the warrior was bloody and furious, even if it was covered in blue. Charge too.

The dwarven musketeer with a long beard shot fearlessly in the face of the minotaur druid, and the small bear pet summoned by him also stood up and shot the bear paw at the druid, and the druid easily slapped the bear pet away and rushed forward without fear in the trap of the dwarven hunter.

An undead thief with a skeletal frame lurks in the shadows, his translucent body looming his figure, and his target is a gnome warlock with a codex. The Warlock with the Voidwalker is about to become the undead thief's venom-dripping dagger.

The Troll Warrior holds a Giant Shield Resistant, a pitch-black Night Elf Priest, and even though he is heavily armored and impermeable, the Shadow Priest who dedicates his soul to the evil has an infinite curse. He was powerless to resist under the spiritual lash of the priest.

The human male paladin with a giant armor with a halo on his feet held the hammer of justice, and the minotaur shaman priest with totems around him glared angrily, although both were exclusive classes of their respective camps, but it seemed that the overall strength of the human paladin was stronger.

The fighting was brutal. Risk-taking is dangerous. The pure 3D operation interface, players wearing a variety of bright costumes, tall bosses, bizarre spells, dazzling light and shadow effects, and sticky snowflakes frozen into ice mounds and still set exquisite beards, all of them show that this is an unparalleled 3D online game!

"Nothing can stop you. My longing for World of Warcraft and StarCraft 2! - Just entered the Year of the Dog, and some players have already started to brush the official forum of Longteng.

This is a very peculiar phenomenon. As long as it is news in the game industry, basically the first forum to be discussed in China is the official website of Longteng, which in Yang Yun's view, is completely a copy of Azeroth National Geographic NGA, and NGA only talks about World of Warcraft related news, and the official website of Longteng contains almost all games.

When more and more people gathered on the official website of Longteng, gradually people expanded the content, and liked to publish the gossip or explosive news that happened in the IT industry on the official website of Longteng, Yang Yun felt that it had become a comprehensive game website like 178, and it was a spontaneous change, he decided not to do anything to hinder it, and at most guide players to learn to post and classify.

"StarCraft 1 has completed its mission, and it's time for a decade-old classic to come to an end at its most glorious time! StarCraft 1 is immortal! StarCraft 2 will last forever! ”

"Ten years, how many decades can there be in life? "StarCraft 1" recorded our youthful years, and now we are slowly approaching middle age, and we will continue to support the development of "StarCraft 2", so that the second stick can be passed on better, and the StarCraft series will come out to 3456 or even more! ”

The vast majority of people are reminiscing about the old game, and transfer their hopes to the new game, this kind of game development model similar to the baton game, is the favorite of the game production company, in fact, this is also the most acceptable practice for players, liking the new and hating the old is a common human disease, after nostalgia, everyone will focus on the new game.

Since the trailer of "World of Warcraft" was released, a large number of complaining posts have appeared, and netizens and players have not slept or gone out to set off firecrackers, but have logged on to the official website and started to make trouble for the New Year with words.

"Emma, 512 memory, 64M video memory graphics card, CPU is at least Loongson Dragon Wing 2.0 or above, bastard, none of the three main parts are qualified, isn't this forcing me to change computers!"

"Hey, it looks like I'm going to buy a 256M memory module again...... Do Dragon Games have to evolve so fast? A small change in a year, a big change in three years, this makes us unable to catch up at all! ”

"The orcs on the screen are so ugly, Dragon Illustrators, can you please make the picture more beautiful? Although it is a half-orc, can it be made to be full of violence, but not full of blood? ”

"The 3D all-round freely adjustable operation mode, oh my God, I guess I'm going to faint!"

In fact, I can't see much content in the 1-minute commercial, and most of the initial complaints from netizens are gathered on the system configuration sheet and screen introduction on the advertisement, for those players with a poor sense of direction, it is likely that this is an alternative torture.

The early morning of the first day of the first month of the first month of "World of Warcraft" seduced the curiosity of players, from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, for a full fifteen days, Mango Station was playing "World of Warcraft" commercials.

What makes people surprised is that after fifteen days of "World of Warcraft" commercials, there are fifteen versions, and the CG animation makers of Longteng are really idle, each ad is not long, the shortest is 1 minute, the longest is only 2 minutes, the designers have hollowed out their heads to come up with so many ideas, it is really difficult for them.

However, there are many World of Warcraft commercials made by students at Dragon Games Animation University, and they were given this precious opportunity to create an official commercial for World of Warcraft, which is a rare and supreme honor!

In the past fifteen days, the official website is also slowly improving the introduction of "World of Warcraft", these materials are released little by little, and picture descriptions are also given, and the official novel is serialized, which makes people's hearts itch.

"Eight races, nine classes, and one unique class for tribes and alliances, doesn't that make players in a dilemma? Can the two different classes, Shaman and Paladin, really keep the game balanced? ”

"There is also the difference between PVP and PVE, it turns out that Longteng has never forgotten jì, and has not given up the setting of PK, Longteng's game has always been full of violence of killing and being killed!"

"That's it, don't hide it if you play a violent game, kill people and kill people, and the setting of the red name is not unacceptable, but why do you want to do a protection below level 10, novice map protection? What's even more ridiculous is that if you kill someone and don't drop equipment, is this kind of PK really interesting? ”

When the players saw these materials, they were not calm again, these settings of Longteng seemed to have great flaws, but they couldn't find evidence to refute them, and the Longteng official didn't answer and let the players guess.

The most critical point is, when will "World of Warcraft", which has been hyped since the Spring Festival, be released?

"Marcos, when will you be able to pass your own test?" Yang Yun sat in Blizzard's office in the Shanghai R&D center and asked: "The players can't wait any longer, their enthusiasm has already burned, I also think I haven't felt so boiling for a long time, I also want to play "World of Warcraft"!" ”

Marcos laughed: "Yang, in fact, you have helped to test it during this time, otherwise our work would not be so exciting!" Thank you very much for your participation, I believe that this test will take half a month to stabilize it, including one week of testing, one week of code modification, maybe in March can be tested internally. ”

Yang Yun waved his hand: "On April 1st, players are invited to beta testing, a total of 10,000 game accounts will be distributed, the game is free, and there are prizes for testing. ”

Everyone sighed.,The game program doesn't have a BUG to take it.,It's not normal.,And deduct money? Is there such a boss in this world? A group of programmers had strange expressions on their faces, and they felt that Yang was always coming up with something new.

"The internal test is over, it's the open beta.,The internal test is open to level 30.,The public beta is open to level 45.,And the public beta time I decided to open it to two months.,No deletion.,All copies below level 45 have to be tested through guò.,There are no major bugs.。 Yang Yun's requirements are not high, he has participated in Blizzard's oldest open beta, and thinks it is very necessary.

"No problem, our team is ready to go! For the Horde! Marcos made a joke.

This also means that players will be able to play World of Warcraft for free for half a year, which is definitely good news! (To be continued......)
