Chapter seven hundred and ninth (detailed setting of the monthly pass)
In the office, Chen Xu also simply wrote a design concept draft about "dota".
This concept draft is the most complicated one at present, because it is necessary to consider the addition of different versions and props.
It can be said that for games like "dota", any minor change may create a completely different rhythm of the game, and it can be said that it is a real move of the whole body.
For example, strengthening the bounty of the head will lead to a gank-oriented direction.
The heroes who play more must be Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Dwarf Helicopters, Troll Warriors, and Helicopters.
On the other hand, the appearance rate of traditional large cores such as Medusa and variant elves will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, the weakening of the defense tower mechanism will determine the high or low playing rate of heroes such as the Prophet of Death, Shadow Shaman, Chen, and Xiaolu.
Coupled with the changes in hero skills and the changes in props, these seemingly insignificant changes may make a prop a popular item or become unwilling to the public. For example, the Macon Shadow Demon in his previous life is a very classic example.
As for profit, Chen Xu is not ready to make many changes.
Because the profit method of "dota" itself is actually quite mature.
Different grades such as immortals, treasures, and small books related to League Passes, it can be said that the payment rate for "Dota" is definitely not low.
What really makes Chen Xu pay attention to is which aspect of the competition and balance of the game should focus on.
It can be said that "dota" has undergone countless versions of changes, and each major change will make players say: This is not the dota I want.
For example, add a live cd to buy a live cd, and the seventh grid shows neutral items, delete yellow dots and add the talent system, store the TP position separately to avoid such as an artist, who has not brought it back to the city scroll but encountered an enemy stealing the house, and has to run to the opposite side to commit suicide by deliberately committing suicide. There is also adding a live altar spring but then it was changed back.
There are good changes and bad changes.
Chen Xu's decision was to not add talent and neutral installation systems for the time being, but to retain the mechanism of yellow dots at attributes, mainly to avoid excessive learning costs for players in the early stage.
The return reel, which is the TP independent setting, is retained, which is actually a very user-friendly design.
Dota in the early days was made based on the engine of "Warcraft", so there are actually many settings that are relatively anti-human, including the game mechanism.
The most direct point is that in the early Dota, many magic balls could not coexist.
Excluding the dark destruction of armor and the ice eye that slows the enemy down can only trigger one effect.
In addition, there are some mechanisms that favor the auxiliary, including the automatic increase in money per second, as well as the additional money that can be obtained after killing the auxiliary hero after the killing of the auxiliary, and the price of real eyes that can detect the vision is reduced for free.
At the same time, everyone has a chicken that can transport equipment and becomes a bird after reaching a certain level. It has the changes in acceleration and invincible skills, and Chen Xu also plans to join in.
This change can actually be said to have enhanced the experience of the five people. After all, in a bird in his previous life, he ate trees, medicine, scrolls, and equipment. This situation is simply too bitter.
Moreover, for most ordinary players, the biggest significance is that they can walk the middle path more confidently.
I bought a chicken, who can't leave if I don't leave?
If you have a kind of chicken, don’t use the chicken I bought!
Chen Xu mainly takes better care of auxiliary players in these changes. After all, among the earliest versions of players, the auxiliary experience can be said to be too explosive.
If you really want to say it is that you are not as good as a dog.
I was exhausted in the early stage, but I didn’t even have the presence of a cannon cart in the later stage.
Of course, such as the glimmer cloak, the lotus bead, and the Eternal Plate, Chen Xu has no intention of joining it for the time being, but is planning to release it bit by bit in the subsequent version.
The map is also very important. Even a channel brought by a tree may bring different variables to professional arena and high-end competitions.
For example, the vision brought by the reconnaissance guards or the anti-hidden effect brought by the hidden sentry guards, Chen Xu is currently mainly based on the early maps, and the Roushan Nest is located in the ancient half of the Scourge Night Banquet.
Regarding map balance, dota has been born for more than ten years, and the controversy has never stopped.
This is inevitable. After all, Dota is an asymmetric map, and there will always be a camp that has more advantages. This is why professional arenas will use rotation, or roll points to choose camp or bp rights.
In addition to the formula for obtaining experience and obtaining bounty, the main workload is in the game system, as well as the settings of heroes and equipment.
However, this one is not the most core content. After all, players in parallel worlds are not ashes players who have fought dota for a few years or more in their previous lives.
Instead, it is a brand new white paper, which is not the most important part at the moment.
More importantly, the game-related systems, such as matching, ladder and teaching for beginners.
The first draft finalized by Chen Xu is roughly the following.
First of all, the ladder is separated from the matching, which is without any suspense.
Among them, players must pass the novice teaching and complete a human-machine cooperation challenge before they can match.
Of course, because there is too much content in Dota, the introductory teaching of beginners is mainly based on basic content.
The hero's operation and release and difference between directional and non-directional skills, the return scroll, the tree's priest, the great medicine and purification potion, and the functions of purchasing equipment in the store and replenishing the positive and negative.
As for the jump knife, bkb and fog of tricks, this is an advanced operation.
And let alone novice players, Dota has been around for more than ten years in its previous life and the event has been developing for nearly ten years.
As the most essential prop in the game, the mist of tricks, the low-segment awareness of this prop that has never sold for more than 100 yuan is basically zero.
Secondly, how to attract players to complete novice teaching is the easiest and most direct temptation.
That is to complete a stage of novice teaching and give a reward for the avulture. At the same time, for the first or second explosion rate of the avulture, players will definitely be able to draw random immortals and treasures.
As for the subsequent treasure vases, it depends on the difference between the European Emperor and the African Gene.
Just like why a mobile game has seven days to get SR, this setting has been used for more than ten years and has never changed?
Because you have to admit that this routine is really easy to use.
In addition, the game will also add corresponding equipment guidance.
Although the biggest fun of Dota is the equipment choice for different situations, it is obviously too early for newbies who are new to the game. What they need most is not to be confused.
In addition, there are novices and hero matching modes, such as Tide Hunter, Skeleton King, Centaurus Chief, Almighty Knight, Phantom Assassin, Blue Fat, Ryan, Abbotton, Soul Slasher, Earthshaker...
These heroes are relatively friendly to novices and can have a considerable sense of participation.
As for the shadow demon who is convenient for understanding skills, the musket that exercises the will to survive, and the diviner who trains the APM to listen to it.
