WOW Film Trying to Make Perfect Plot

The vice president of Blizzard, the chief inspector on game plot, Chris Metzen recently showed in interview that wow film is now in the stage of fixing scenario. It is not a bad thing for Blizzard and Film-making group to try to be perfect when film works are inundated nowadays.

Reporter asked Chris Metzen, “You have spent a lot of time in WOW film, is that true?” Chris Metzen anwered, “it is not exact. We have held many meetings to discuss the plot, and now are trying to make an agreement with Raimi (director of WOW film) and his group. What blocks us is the theme we want to express. Generally speaking, we have a similar point of view----what kind of story we want to tell, what kind of feeling we want audience to have, how to show these marvelous things in best way. We have got some cool scenarios when Raimi group joined us. These scenarios indeed have flash point, but sometimes too far or not full enough. We are trying to expand, so as to cut in buy WOW gold from a particular angle. We want audience to feel like this “it is true and we have experienced this in gaming”

This attitude of trying to be perfect is similar with that in Blizzard game development. Some films that were adaptations of popular online games always ended in misery. Can Blizzard bring an excellent WOW film to us through their continuous efforts? We are waiting to see.

Excellent Leader, Excellent Group

In WOW (World of Warcraft gold), it is very important for a large-scale group to be in coordination with each other. Due to this, it becomes necessary to select a leader to arrange proper place for each one and coordinate them in gaming. This need promotes the birth of RL (Leader of Raid). As a RL, he is the soul of the whole team. Even if an instance is easy enough, no leader generally assigns therapies and reminds what needs to be noticed in raid before gaming, it won’t be all right during the whole game.

To be an excellent RL, the first task is forming a team. Certainly each RL wants some high level members whose equipments and experience all meet the requirement. In fact, equipment level is inflexible, while experience is opposite. Some careful and cautious RLs will ask the partners whether they have experience or not to cope with this instance and even let them to report their related achievement. The second task for excellent RL is conducting. How good or bad the conducting ability of RL is, is an important norm to judge RL. If only you can conduct the team to complete the tasks in instance, no matter how bad your temper is, the group can accept it. The third task for excellent RL is distribution. It is an exciting thing to gain success in beating BOSS through all group’s common efforts. But it always makes all disappointed for distribution. Captured equipments belong to the whole group, not to RL only. As a RL, no matter in association or in random group, he has to be just and fair. We hope all members can enjoy themselves under the conduct of an excellent RL.

Blizzard Planning to Improve the Instance System of Forming a Team in WOW

Blizzard recently showed that they plan to improve the current instance system of forming a team randomly. In game, equipment level is a crucial standard for players to make a team, but it is not perfect enough. The designers said that, “although there is a test setting for group-forming system and equipment level in game, it is not enough. We hope the system is comprehensive enough to judge whether players’ behaviors in instance go beyond their equipment level or not. We have some long-term development world of warcraft gold. Some groups completely collapse in raid without knowing the exact reason. They throw stones at each other and complain all kinds of unfairness. If the group can well know their failure is not in bad therapy, but insufficient DPS, or the little demons in a mess, it will be better.”

Some players think the reason why Blizzard plans to improve the instance system of forming a team is that the degree of difficulty in five-people instance increases in Cataclysm, as well as Blizzard has already had this designing trend in WLK (Wrath of Lich King), so as to offer players more detailed instruction. In Cataclysm, there are many instructing functions. If reading and using carefully, even if you are a green hand, you can still know the settings in game in a short time. Now the belief of Blizzard should be “if only you are careful enough, we can teach and instruct you”. But easy to enter and hard to master, it is the style of Blizzard online games.

The Worst Initial Issuance of Five Online Games

It is a great test for a new online game to be issued initially. More renowned the game is, more players it will attract. On this important day, which game gives a bad performance? The worst five will be listed next. Unluckily, World of Warcraft gold is on the list.
No.5 Star Wars in Galactic battlegrounds
Great rallying point of Star Wars made players come in great numbers. The problem is that Sony Online Entertainment seemed not to well prepare for it, with the result that the new game wasn’t issued according to the appointment.
No. 4 AION
NCsoft was confronted with the problem that players couldn’t enter into the game. Server link kept crowded for many days. Maybe NCsoft didn’t expect that so many players joined in the fun.
No. 3 Age of Conan
Different from first two, the problem of this new game was not in that the server couldn’t bear great pressure, but the sterility of the game. The firm was suspected to hype viciously.
No. 2 Anarchy Online
It has been a classical game up to now. But who can knows the trouble on its issuance day. On that day, the Server and Client were not unstable, leading to many players’ flowing away.
No. 1 World of Warcraft
Blizzard Company is always connected with “outstanding” and “excellence”, but six years ago, the initial issuance of buy WOW gold was not very good. The crowded server and players swarming into the game blocked the initial success of Blizzard Company.
