Chapter 876 Posts
This time, not many people were invited to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment for testing.¤,
The original plan was 200 people, but the people who signed up were too enthusiastic, so the quota was finally expanded to 350 people.
Although this number is too rare compared to those registered numbers, this invitation-based test does not require a large number of people to play, but a real test.
Equivalent to qa.
You should know that the development of a large game requires a large number of QA testers, but there are currently no special QA testers among the more than 100 development members of O. The basic tests are all handled by developers. It is not that Jester cannot afford QA testers, but the gameplay of an M-touch RPG game is M-touch, small tests, and different tests of dozens of people like a stand-alone game have no effect.
This is possible at least one hundred times larger than this scale.
It is a waste of manpower and material resources to require hundreds of QA testers, so there will be this external test activity for players.
What I want is to test these players and complete some qa tests.
Therefore, the test time at the Mars Entertainment Headquarters was very long this time, and it took a full month. Of course, Mars Entertainment included food and accommodation, and there was also a little extra living allowance. Naturally, the subsidy was not high, so the voluntary registration method was adopted.
And also declared.
Those who make the results in this test can also directly obtain the qualification for the next invitation test, and Jester also guaranteed that before the public test, such a very small-scale invitation test will not be done just this time, at least five or six times, almost twice a year.
And. Most importantly, this is not a test of signing a confidentiality agreement.
In addition to being unable to record videos, testers can talk about their test experiences on the Internet, and mention what kind of game it is.
Even Jester said.
On the test computer prepared by Mars Entertainment, you can access the Internet directly. Players can even broadcast live with text and screenshots while testing. Of course, the address of the live broadcast is limited to the forum of Mars Entertainment.
The criteria for selecting testers are very simple. Basically, as long as Mars Entertainment pays attention to players, players will have the opportunity to get such opportunities. Of course, if the person who wins the lottery does not confirm it in the email, then there will be a candidate for substitution. Everyone has a time limit for confirmation. Of course, because the quota is precious, if it is confirmed and does not come at that time.
Then the player account associated with qualifications must be permanently blocked.
Because of the standard for saving lives this time, as long as you buy more than three Mars Entertainment games on the Mars Entertainment Battle Network account, you are eligible to register.
The players are extremely enthusiastic.
What's more, during the test time, Jester also considered that many students were gaming parties and put a month of test time into the summer vacation. In this way, even students would have no worries.
The list of candidates is not announced at once.
Instead, on the official forum, the speed of thirty-five digits is announced every day, and it will take a full ten days to come out of the final list.
This makes many people pay attention every day, and even refresh the page of the Mars Entertainment Forum every moment, because the thirty-five people are not announced at one time, but one to two people are announced every hour. Players want to know whether they have obtained the test qualification as soon as possible, and they will constantly refresh the page before the hour.
Therefore, in the past few days, the number of posts posted by Mars Entertainment’s game forum has set a record high.
The number of posts per day has reached hundreds of thousands.
At this time, Jester also posted a post on the Mars Entertainment game forum, actively introducing some basic setting issues.
This is also proposed by many players.
Players reported on the forum that if many mechanisms or gameplay of the game are not revealed, then the game background must not be revealed. Although Jester said that this game is "World of Warcraft", that is, this game is set based on the background of the World of Warcraft.
This background includes novels, comics, and even single-player games from the previous Ar series to improve.
However, not everyone is familiar with these novels, comics, and even the Ar series. If you want to have an in-depth understanding, you can read them. However, for many people, they just want to have a brief understanding and know this. These people probably don’t have much interest in reading which novels, comics, and playing the RTS games of the Ar series that were many years ago.
So, can you briefly introduce the background of the game through posts on the forum?
After considering it, Jester also thought this proposal was good.
So, he decided that he would take some time every day to write something about the background history of O and share it with the players.
Moreover, the O-zone was born on the game forum of Mars Entertainment.
On the fifth day of the shortlist, Jester's first post about the historical background of O also began to be serialized on the forum. This is also the first official announcement, with more in-depth news about this already high-profile game.
The post is very brief, like a brief history.
At the beginning, I introduced what kind of world it is, what kind of race it has, what kind of terrain it has, and what kind of power it has.
Of course, Jester adopted a bard-like writing style in Homer's epic, just like traveling around the world in those DND novels, introducing some stories of the world to others through psalms.
"The starlight of Azeroth is as dim as I just came to this world, like my cold eyes. Perhaps, only things that lose their passion can truly last, just like the history of this world..."
"No one can tell whether countless legends are true or false, so do I."
"When I started to sort out the history of this world, I found that there were countless mixed and contradictory elements of the Xu family, which made people at a loss."
"Even things I have experienced personally, there have been several different statements. Perhaps this is what history needs to be verified. However, when I wander in this world, collecting clues that are correct or wrong, detailed or general, real or imagined, a sense of ominousness that is difficult to complete is engulfed in my heart."
"Indeed, the part that has been written cannot satisfy me. Until one day, I found this treasure..."
The beginning of Jester is even more popular with this first-person bard writing style, which is much more vivid than the boring way of introducing the history of a game plot.
So, there are people who are constantly urging Jester to update.
Jester was in a good mood. After thinking about it for a moment, he continued to write in the previous bard's way of writing.
"...This is something as square as a box, one side of it is like a mirror, but I can see a clearer image from here than the total fantasy of the crystal ball. I don't know what kind of magic power this is presented to me."
"This treasure comes from an unknown world, and when I use it, half is on the other end of the space gate."
"A mysterious arcane gave me this square box, and something he called a mouse. These things were connected to another world by some thick lines."
"Don't drag these lines hard, you only have a few short days. That's what the arcane told me."
"And with his cold words, I took the thing called a mouse. What surprised me was that when I followed the arcane's guidance and moved the thing, an arrow in the mirror inside responded to my movements. There were two buttons on the mouse..."
When Jester posted another new text he wrote, the players who were reading his post finally knew what he was talking about at the beginning. It turned out that Jester got a computer on earth in a game, and this bard used this computer to tell some things called o or Azeroth.
This humorous writing style will naturally be popular with players.
Many people were urging Jester to continue writing.
Because the first day's posts can't always be like nonsense, and you can't write anything.
When Jester saw that this was the case, he thought about it again, then looked at some background settings of Azeroth that he had already finished writing, prepared the wording, and continued to write it in the post.
"...When I moved the arrow to the only icon and quickly pressed the button on the left twice, something magical happened."
"The history of Azeroth, those history that is dusty in history and unknown to me, is reappeared before me. This treasure from the unknown world clearly and objectively records the entire history, whether it is humans, orcs, night elves or undead natural disasters."
"Even countless dead characters can move freely under the control of mice, of course, just in the mirror."
"So, a few days later, I finally knew everything I needed, and that's what I was going to say: the orcs came from nowhere, and they suddenly appeared in the swamp of sadness and began to invade nearby human gatherings."
"The two sides attack each other, and the focus is on Gran Village. If humans defend it, the orcs will find it difficult to expand to the west and can only be trapped in the swamp all day long. Therefore, whether it is the orcs' leader, the black hand, or the king of humans, Ryan, they all sent their elite troops to Gran Village. In addition, humans also face a big problem, and this problem needs to be solved urgently."
"That is, there has been no news of Lossa for more than twenty months. He went to the death mine to look for the lost "Book of Gods". A monk from the North County Monastery saw him suffering in pain in the fantasy. The king thought Lossa was still alive and immediately sent his troops to rescue Lossa from the death mine..."
This is the plot of "Orcs and Humans" in a.
Of course, there are more than just this kind of thing reflected in the game, and it needs to be more detailed.
But Jester just briefly introduced the background of O to pay attention to this game, but people who are unwilling to read novels, comics and Ar series games know that of course the simpler the better.
Anyway, these are some backgrounds.
"...The black hands captured the village of Gran... The human troubles are far more than that, the threats from their internal forces are even more terrifying."
"Medivh has begun to absorb the energy of this world. Before dealing with the orcs, he must be stopped first. A surprise attack team came to the Tower of Medivh, namely Karazan, to fight a decisive battle with this person who has the most powerful magical power. The leader is Anduin Lothar..."
"...Medivh died under the sword of Lothar. Just when people thought that the world would have a brief peace, a more shocking news came from the capital. King Ryan was assassinated by the orc stabbing Garona!"
"At this time, Garona, imprisoned in the Monastery of North County, had mastered some of the mysteries of human magic. Before this, the orcs also split. The hammer of destruction supported by the Shadow Council rebelled, killed the black hand of the chief, and captured the Sunlight Woodland. He learned human magic from the human magic tower in the city. Then, the orc army rushed straight to North County, razed the place to the ground, and rescued Garona..."
This plot is also mentioned in the Ar series of games.
However, Jester also knew that this was also a plot that was planned to be filmed in the so-called O-Movie in later generations.
It was a period of choice from the history of this orc invasion. Of course, it might have been to create the image of Thrall that followed, and Durotan was forcibly added here.
In fact, there was nothing Durotan had to do with orcs invading the Eastern Kingdoms.
"...The orcs continued to move forward. After the capture of Shenjin Town and Yuexi Town, Stormwind City was completely isolated, so the final fall. The king died tragically, the capital fell, the Kingdom of Azeroth fell into the hands of the orcs, and countless humans were displaced. Jazz Lothar could only take King Ryan's young son Urien to the ocean and seek refuge in their allies Lordaeron..."
"…Six years later, the Hammer of Destruction was ready to head north, and the huge fleet began to march towards Lordaeron."
"It is known in history as the 'black tide'." (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
