Emva kweminyaka elishumi elinambini ikhutshwe i-Lord of Terror, isemthethweni: Isifo seswekile iii Ndiza kuphakamisa isihogo ngoMeyi 15. Yonke into endakha ndayifuna ebomini kukuqhekeza kunye ne-slash cunge crawler, ke bendinemincili ngalo mdlalo ukusuka ekuhambeni. Kodwa emva kokuchitha ixesha elincinci ujikeleza UDiablo III iwebhusayithi esemthethweni , Ndonwabile ngokwenene. Njengaye, ndonwabile kakhulu. Ndinyanisile isitokhwe . Kwaye kungenxa yesizathu esilula kakhulu:
Bonke abalinganiswa ababhinqileyo bajongeka ngathi ndingathanda ukudlala umntu.
Njengoko benditshilo emva kuJanuwari, Isifo seswekile iii iya kuba ngumdlalo wokuqala kuthotho ukubonelela ngokwezifiso ngokwesini ngokupheleleyo kubalinganiswa bomdlali. Oku kukodwa lulongezo olwamkelekileyo, kodwa inyani yokuba iimodeli zabalinganiswa ababhinqileyo zilunge kakhulu IBlizzard isitampu sokwamkelwa kwincwadi yam. Ukukunceda ucacise ukuba kutheni, ndizakubeka la manenekazi amatsha kumxholo omkhulu wendlela iBlizzard ebabonakalise ngayo abafazi kuyo yonke imidlalo yabo.
Ukonwabela kwam umdlalo kugqitywe ngumlinganiso wokulinganisa phakathi kwezi zinto zimbini: ngaba umdlalo wokudlala ubhenela kum, kwaye ndiyalonwabela ibali? Umdlalo ongenabali okanye a imbi Ibali lisenokuba mnandi, ukuba nje inomdla wokudlala. Kwiphepha le-flip, ndikulungele ukuxolela i-clunky gameplay mechanics ukuba ibali lilungile ngenene. Ukuba umdlalo unemidlalo yomibini eqinileyo kwaye Ibali elihle, emva koko ndiza kube ndiphosa isipaji sam kubaphuhlisi abasemva kwaso kwiminyaka ezayo.
Ukuya kuthi ga kuloo bhalansi, iBlizzard inecala lokudlala phantsi kwepat. Ndidlale yonke into abayikhuphileyo ukusukela ngonyaka we-1998, kwaye nangona bendingazukubala nantoni na abayenzileyo phakathi kweentando zam, ndiyazi ukuba ndingasoloko ndibala iBlizzard ngomdlalo olungileyo. Kodwa ngokwamabali, ndihlala ndikhathazwa ngabalinganiswa babo ababhinqileyo. Andidingi mdlalo ukuba ndibenabalinganiswa ababhinqileyo abadumileyo ukuze ndingene kuwo, kodwa ndifuna ukuba ibe yindawo apho abantu basetyhini baziva bamkelekile (ukulunga, iBlizzard ikwenza ngcono oku kunabaninzi, kodwa bona ' Phinda ubethe okanye uphoswe). Andifuni ukuchitha ixesha lam lasimahla kwihlabathi apho abafazi badlala ifiddle yesibini kumaqhawe okwenyani. Oko akuthethi ukuba umlinganiswa ophambili unayo ukuba ngumfazi, kodwa oko kuthetha ukuba ukuba uninzi lwabalinganiswa yindoda, ndiza kuyiphawula indlela yokuphatha abalinganiswa ababhinqileyo ngakumbi.
Inqaku lokugqibela yayiyinto echaphazele indlela endiziva ngayo kumdlalo wam wokuqala weBlizzard, StarCraft . Kwi StarCraft , Abafazi banqabile, bayathandana ngokufanayo, kwaye bakhona kuphela kwiindima zokuxhasa. Ngaphandle, ewe, nguKerrigan, ongomnye wezona zinto zilibalekayo zomdlalo wevidiyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Ndandiqala ukwishumi elivisayo ukuqala kwam ukudlala StarCraft , kwaye nangona bendicinga ukuba ipholile, khange ibambe umdla wam. Izimvo zam zebanga lesikolo malunga amathoyizi amantombazana kwaye iithoyi zamakhwenkwe babengemva kakhulu, kwaye ngelo xesha, StarCraft ndaziva ngathi ngumdlalo ongengowam. Nangona kunjalo, kwiminyaka nje embalwa kamva, ndadlala IWarcraft III - ene-gameplay efanayo kakhulu StarCraft - ukufa. Ngasemva, ndicinga ukuba oku kunento yokwenza nokubandakanywa kwe-matriarchal Night Elves. Ngelo xesha ebomini bam, abalinganiswa ababhinqileyo abadlalayo babenqabile, kwaye ndandingakhathali ukuba la magorha ekuthiwa anobukrwada, anobuqhetseba ayebiza imali ngeenxa zonke ngee-bikini ze-imeyile kwaye ephendula ngobuqhophololo xa ndicofa kubo. IWarcraft III yayingumdlalo apho ndingayalela umkhosi wabasetyhini abakhwele iihlosi. Kula maxesha alula, yayiyeyona nto ndinokuyithemba.
Ngokwamabali, Iswekile II aphathwe ngamagorha alawulwa ngabadlali ngokulinganayo ngaphandle kwesini, kodwa bekukho umqolomba. Umntu wesini wachazwa kwangaphambili yiklasi. Ungadlala iklasi ye-melee enzima, ekhaliphileyo, kodwa njengendoda. Ukuba ufuna ukudlala umntu wasetyhini, ubunamathele kwi-caster enqabileyo okanye umtoli. Bendingafuni ukudlala nayiphi na kwezo. Ndandifuna umfazi onzima, obukeka onobuqhawe, kodwa wayengekho ndawo. Umkhwa wokwabela abalinganiswa ababhinqileyo kuphela kudidi olwahlulwayo kunye nokwahlulwa kweeklasi akunakufane kwenzeke kwiBlizzard, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo yenye abayamkele ixesha elide. Njengokuba ndandikwishumi elivisayo, le nto yayindikhathaza. Kulungile, kunjalo nangoku uyandikhathaza, kodwa kule mihla, ukuba andibonelelwa ngokwezifiso zesini, ndiyekile ukuba ndibeke phambili ubuchule beklasi ngaphezulu kwesini esimiselweyo. Kwiminyaka yam yokwakha, olo yayilukhetho endadibana nalo ngokwenene (ukuba unomdla, ndahamba neAmazon).
Uyilo, Ilizwe lokwenziwe ngemfazwe kuthintelwe ukwabela abadlali kwiiklasi okanye kwisini ngokubanika amandla okwenza umlingiswa owenziwe ngokupheleleyo. Nangona kunjalo, kwacaca ukuba abaphuhlisi ababonanga abalinganiswa abangamadoda kunye nabasetyhini ngokukhanya okufanayo. Ukukubonisa into endiyithethayo, nantsi iNqanaba lesi-3 lePaladin lisetelwe kwindoda eyindoda:
Ngoku nantsi iseti efanayo yezixhobo zomfazi.
Ukuba awuzange ubone isikrweqe sokungafani ngokungafaniyo nale Wowu , Kungenxa yokuba isikrweqe sabasetyhini siphucule ngokubonakalayo kulo lonke ukwanda. Iidriffs kunye neebhulukhwe ezishushu zaziqhelekile ukuqala kwam ukudlala ngo-2006, kodwa xa ndayeka kwiminyaka emithathu kamva, iiseti ezininzi zezixhobo zazifana phakathi kwabesini. IBlizzard, kwakubonakala ngathi ekugqibeleni ithathela ingqalelo abadlali babo ababhinqileyo. Andizange ndindwendwele iAzeroth ukusukela ngo-2009, kodwa abahlobo bam abasadlalayo bandixelela ukuba kuphela iiseti zezixhobo ezinomoya ofanelekileyo ezifumanekayo ziintsalela ezimbalwa ezihleliyo kwiindawo ezindala, ezingavuselelwa njenge-Outland. Ngamanye amagama, ayiziziqwenga onokuthi uzifumane okanye uzisebenzise.
Ngaphandle kophuhliso oluqinisekileyo, kwacaca ukuba iBlizzard isenemibimbi yokuyicoca. I-beta ye Wowu' s Cataclysm Ukwandiswa kwazisa ugqatso lweWorgen, oluthi waqala ingxoxo ngaphezulu nokuba i-Worgen yabasetyhini yayintle kakhulu okanye imbi kakhulu (kubonakala ngathi ilungile yayingekho etafileni). Isiphumo yayiyeyokutshintsha kwemodeli yomlinganiswa kunye ne fanbase ehlala yahlulwe ngesihloko (ngokuthelekisa, Imodeli yePandaren yabasetyhini esandula ukutyhilwa ukulungiselela okuzayo Iinkungu zasePandaria ukwanda akuzange kube nazingxaki, kwaye kwamkelwe ngokubanzi). Okwangoku, ibali lomdlali omnye kwi Inkwenkwezi II wagxekwa ngokuthoba isidima uKerrigan - kwakhona, omnye wabafazi bebodwa kwi StarCraft iphela-ukusuka kwindalo enzima ukuya kwintombazana ekubandezelekeni. Njengokuba kunjalo kubaphuhlisi abaninzi, ukubonakaliswa kwesini yindawo iBlizzard esasokola nayo. Indaleko ayisoze yalula.
Ke ngelixa kusekutsha kakhulu ukuba ungatsho njani Isifo seswekile iii iyakulinganisa, iimodeli zabalinganiswa ababhinqileyo ezibonisiweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ndizive ndikhuthazekile. Okokuqala, bonke banxibe isikrweqe esifanelekileyo. Izisu zabo zigutyungelwe. Oyena mntu ujongeka ngathi uliliso kancinci yiWizard, evakalayo, kwaye nokuba ujongeka ngathi angayikrazula. Kodwa eyona nto ingcono kwiqela, ngokoluvo lwam, kunjalo owangaphandle . Ubanzi-emagxeni. Uyangxama. Unamathanga amakhulu, anezihlunu, yiyo kanye le nto uyifunayo ukuba uza kujika izembe imini yonke. Ngaphambi kokuba uhlekise ngemilenze yakhe, qaphela into enxibe iqabane lakhe eliyindoda. Esi sikrweqe asenzelwanga ukuba sityhile; yenzelwe ukubonisa inkcubeko ethile. Ukuba uza kuba nesikrweqe esingagubungeli mlinganiswa ukusuka entloko ukuya ezinzwaneni, le yeyona ndlela yokwenza. Ndiyakholelwa kwesi sikrweqe. Ndiyakholelwa kulo mlinganiswa. Lo ngumfazi obonakala ngenkangeleko yakhe enomxholo wokubaliswa apho anikezelwe khona. Ngokwenyani, kuko konke endifuna ukukubona kwimodeli yomlinganiswa, kwaye ndiyifumane Isifo seswekile iii kwaba yinto emangalisayo. Kuyavunywa, indlela umlinganiswa wakho onxibe ngayo kumdlalo iya kuxhomekeka kwizixhobo ozixhobisayo, kodwa inyani yokuba le ngumfanekiso woluntu abagqibe ekubeni bawunike aba bafazi kuyakhuthaza.
Ngaba uyilo lufezekile? Hayi. Ngaba iimpahla zokuqala zeDemon Hunter kunye neWizard ziyacaphukisa? Ewe. Kodwa ukuba sijonga kolu luyilo lwabalinganiswa xa kuthelekiswa neminyaka elishumi elinesine yokugqibela yezihloko zeBlizzard, kuyacaca ukuba izinto ziyaqhubeka nokuphucula abalinganiswa babo ababhinqileyo. Kwaye yinto endinokuyifumana ngasemva.
Nangona ukuba nenketho yokudlala inenekazi elibi kundenza ndizive ndamkelekile kwalapha ngaphandle, ukubandakanywa komdlalo ekugqibeleni kuya kugqitywa zii-NPC. Kusekuqaleni kakhulu ukuba ungazi njani Isifo seswekile iii iya kufikelela kubanduleli bayo, kodwa zikhona iividiyo ezimbalwa ezinomdla kum. Ezi midlalo zimbini zemiboniso bhanyabhanya zikhutshiweyo ( Apha kwaye Apha ) kugxila kakhulu kumlinganiswa omtsha, uLiya (uvakaliswe ngumntu ohloniphekileyo UJennifer Hale , hayi ngaphantsi). Kukho intelekelelo eninzi malunga nokuba yeyiphi indima aza kuyidlala kweli bali, kodwa ndinikwe indlela endiye ndaziqhelanisa ngayo nokwabelana ngesondo nabantu ababhinqileyo kwizixhobo zokuthengisa zeBlizzard, umdla wam wokufuna ukwazi utyhilwa yindlela ethobeke ngayo, incwadi kaLeah ebonakaliswayo.
Okuthembisayo nangakumbi yitreyila yeklasi yeDemon Hunter. Ewe ndiyazi, izihlangu ezinesithende eziphakamileyo zindenzile ukuba ndincwine, nam. Kodwa ukuba unokujonga ngaphaya kwezihlangu ezingenakwenzeka, kukho into enomdla emsebenzini kule vidiyo. Apha sine-trope esemgangathweni yexhoba lowasetyhini eloyikisayo eliphefumlelweyo ukuba lilwe emva kokubona umsindisi walo esebenza, ngeli xesha kuphela, lelinye ibhinqa elenzayo.
UCanzibe 15. Ithemba lam liphezulu. Andikwazi kulinda ukuba ndibone ukuba le nto idlala njani.
