Game Development Giant - Chapter 885
c879 testing report
Michael’s battle report posts are still continuing, and the one posted in front is the previous one.
He wants to see the players’ reactions. If everyone is interested, he will continue writing. If they are not interested, he will just finish writing this half of the article. It is thankless anyway.
Unexpectedly, he posted the battle report in a separate post, and soon received enthusiastic responses from players.
In particular, the most eye-catching event in this invitation test was the siege event on the last day of the test, which eventually evolved into an all-round PK between the testers’ alliance and the tribe, and the players were also interested in discussing this matter. Bo Bo, although this time the test has ended, there are still people discussing this matter in the past few days.
At this time, Michael’s battle report was posted, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Although some players watched the original live broadcast, one of the characteristics of the live broadcast is that the process is discontinuous, and many things can only be made up in their heads. Of course, the process of making up is different for different people.
Although there have been several players who participated in this large-scale PK bragging on the forum in the past few days, these people only said a few words about their own participation. It was simply some unsystematic information, and there was no other information. From the eyes of the onlookers who have participated, these are just better information for brainstorming.
Now that Michael’s detailed battle report has come out, players immediately have a clear outline of the siege incident on the last day of the closed test.
How to organize, how to dispatch, and where to attack.
They were all introduced.
In just half an hour, there were nearly a hundred replies, which immediately boosted Michael’s confidence.
He had also opened a live broadcast before when he was conducting closed testing, but not many people participated in the discussion. But this time, almost everyone was discussing what he wrote, and many people asked for more detailed information. Of course, most of them asked him to write the next part quickly.
So, Michael worked hard for more than an hour.
The second half of the battle report for the attack on Ironforge was successfully completed, and was immediately updated in this battle report post. And with the second half of the update, his post suddenly became lively.
Within ten minutes, hundreds of replies appeared under this post.
Even Jester himself posted a comment on the back of this post, saying that the author did a good job.
“…We are getting closer and closer to Ironforge. The leader ordered not to hesitate and continue to move forward!”
“Running all the way, a hunter behind reported that the hunter players behind were getting more and more aggressive. What should I do? Some people said fight? The captain said how to fight like this? Just when everyone was hesitating, the captain of the last team said, we The team is willing to go back to intercept the pursuers, hold them back for a while, and then you can move on! As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless…but there was really no extra time to hesitate. After the captain of the team simply said “Good Luck”, he followed The people in their team stayed where they were.”
“And we continue to move forward. At this time, there are basically only two regiments left of the four regiments when we came.”
“I looked at the team list. The last group is 5 undead, including 2 priests, 2 warlocks, 1 warrior… 5 undead horses are standing in the unique snow where the dwarves live. , watching them disappear from sight from a distance, a hunched undead warlock turned back and waved to us to say goodbye, followed by several others who also waved to us, I don’t know how to describe the feeling at that time. I really think they are so cute, my nose is a little sore.”
“I clicked on the M key, and the five dots stayed in place for a while, and then scattered one after another. It didn’t take long before they disappeared one after another…”
“With the blessings of the dead teammates, everyone rushed forward. When encountering NPC enemies on the road, one person would support him. Then the warlock got on his horse and continued charging after being frightened. What’s funny is that there were several junior dwarf players on the side of the road who had just played. He was dumbfounded when he saw us passing by. A guy was still killing monsters. When he saw a group of us riding past, he didn’t even care about the monsters that were beating him. He stared at us in stunned silence… There were also several newborn calves that actually chased after him. The horse tried to beat us from behind, but the shaman casually fired an electric ball and scorched us… Then at the expense of a few more people to distract the NPC, we finally saw a road sign pointing to a hillside on the right – Iron Furnace Fort!”
“Everyone suddenly became excited and their morale was boosted. However, only sixty people died at this time! Both regiments were not satisfied. Everyone asked the captain what to do. In fact, what else could be done? Of course, charge forward!”
“And inside, the alliance has been ready for a long time. It is estimated that at least three or four regiments are inside!”
“Now that this is the case, what are you thinking about? The NPC on the slope is really powerful. It seems that the chance of being stunned is very high. About halfway down the slope, the captain has already fallen. The next one is to help him add protection. The shield priest was cut down before he even mounted his horse.”
“The captain who fell on the ground kept saying: Go, Go, Go, Go! We also mustered up the courage to rush inside. I rushed in second. The first was a troll thief, and he didn’t have much blood. When she got to the gate, two gatekeepers attacked her and chopped her down. The next one was me. After a few swipes, I turned red. I quickly drank a bottle of blood and saw that I had been knocked unconscious. , I thought it was over, but I saw a flash of yellow light around me! Obsorb, Obsorb appeared one after another on the avatar… Looking back, I saw that a priest behind me dismounted and helped me add a shield! He also wanted to help the second person add a shield. , but before adding the second one, I heard his scream…”
“The Alliance’s large forces also rushed out of Ironforge. Our numbers were completely at a disadvantage, and then I saw my comrades beside me fall one after another.”
“I held my shield and rushed in under the majestic gaze of the huge mountain king at the door. We were already separated by alliances that were far more numerous than us. Behind me were two tribes. I, the Undead Thief, was followed by one. Orc shaman, 1 tauren shaman, just 3 of them!”
“I was really exhausted. The shaman said to turn right and rush to wherever I go! I accelerated to the right, and the tauren shaman at the back started shouting as soon as he entered Ironforge…”
“But the shouts of our tribe cannot be seen by the alliance. They can only see some gibberish.”
“And to be honest, my shield is gone, and I am followed by more than 10 alliance players and NPCs who are not dead. The drums are all together and I can’t see clearly. No one will help me add a shield this time. I also want to I yelled, but before I could yell, I had already fallen to the ground…”
“Then the Tauren Shaman trampled and fell to the ground one after another. The last orc took advantage of the last bit of trampling time to rush forward a little, and finally fell to the ground…”
“I took another look at our large army that was surrounded and divided. Basically, the fate of a few of us was similar. They were also falling one after another, and those alliances were also constantly shouting and sending out some red garbled fonts. …”
“It takes 6 minutes to summon souls. In this short time, we enjoy the scenery of Ironforge, the so-called strongest fortress in the alliance. To be honest, Ironforge is not as good as the main city of the undead and the orcs. I know where the majesty goes…”
“After the soul summoning, I saw the last few people waiting in the tomb. Everyone smiled knowingly – don’t summon the corpse, let him stay in Ironforge. It is the last day of the test anyway, and the corpses of us are just right The road is paved along the only way to Ironforge. There were brothers who sacrificed their lives to distract the NPCs and stayed to withstand the Alliance’s pursuers. The road was made with the blood of the Horde! We will take it next time farther!”
“That’s it. This is the battle report on the last day. We organized four regiments of people to launch an attack on Ironforge. It’s a pity. In the end, we only stopped at the gate of Ironforge.”
This battle report ends here, and Michael did not add any special explanation.
But soon, many people who had participated or just watched began to reply to this post.
They all praised the author for his good writing.
“It doesn’t look like a battle report, but like a story with twists and turns!”
“Salute to the warriors of the tribe!”
“Enjoyed! Based on my many years of EQ experience. Thieves can really contribute a lot to the tribe in the world of pvp. I wish the poster always has good luck in martial arts!”
“It’s so exciting! If I have a chance to test it next time, I must form a raid team and try it myself. Just reading the author’s post made me excited and couldn’t calm down!”
“The real battle is not that moving. But the poster’s article is indeed, praise!” This is the reply from a tribal player who participated in this siege battle. In the reply, he also talked about his profession and said that he It was the priest who finally set up the shield for the original poster.
Of course, if there were responses from players from the tribe at that time, there would naturally be responses from players from the alliance.
“The number of posts is good, but the process is not like what the original poster wrote. We just hurriedly accepted the challenge, and finally managed to gather the members of three regiments, and annihilated all four of them in front of Ironforge. This time it was their sneak attack. If we were prepared, they probably wouldn’t even be able to take down the wetland… There is no chance for this closed test. If I can still participate in the test next time, then I will open a league for ours. I’ll show you the post about capturing Ogg.”
Of course, it’s not more about the conflict between the tribes and alliance players who participated in the test.
Instead, there were many replies with envious tones.
Just like the ones at the beginning.
“It’s great. Such a long RAID is really a treat!”
“It would be better to add a few more pictures. It tickles me to death… I can already imagine your excitement in the words…”
“I’m really envious…but why did you choose Ironforge instead of Stormwind City! I like Stormwind City!”
They were all replies like this, and Michael was extremely excited when he saw them. It was difficult to express the feeling of satisfaction in words when his work was recognized.
Jester even responded to this post for the second time.
Jester said in that post: “To be honest, this is the best-written post I have seen in the past few days. It can even be used as an advertising soft article, so I thought about it and decided to give it to I’d like to give you the opportunity to test this next time. I wonder if you’re interested in this?”
This reply caused an uproar.
Of course, it was all jealousy and envy for Michael.
After all, just writing a battle report and getting the next test opportunity is a good thing like pie in the sky.
There are also many people who participated in this incident who secretly regretted why they did not write down what happened at that time in advance. Of course, it is not that no one has written before, but that someone has written before, and the writing was dry. , no one is watching.
Of course, this closed test is not just for people to play.
It requires collecting a lot of information.
None of the three hundred and fifty test players submitted at least ten test reports. The content of the reports covered every aspect of the game and every detail.
Some people even had as many as thirty test reports, which surprised Jester.
Before this, he had never thought that the combat effectiveness of these players who came to test was so high, even more effective than the dedicated QA team within their company.
Of course, these players are also because Jester promised them before that part of the quota for the next test will be selected from those who performed well in the test this time. Of course, what is considered outstanding depends on him. The report was submitted, and the report is not about being many, but more about being precise.
Moreover, some test reports and bug submissions are very high-level, which also saves the development team a lot of time.
Jester does not need to read all of these reports. After all, there are thousands of reports, and it is impossible for him to read them all by himself. These reports are all submitted according to different categories, and then handed over to the responsible person respectively. After the first screening, these designers select the more important ones and then hand them over to Jester.
In the end, there were only two to three hundred test reports that Jester needed to read.
Although it is still a lot, it is much less than the report of several thousand points.
Moreover, these test reports look very fast and do not need to be read in detail. Basically, one glance and ten lines are enough. Only those who are very well-written will read them carefully and look for inspiration. (~^~)
