公开《TERA》专访:Argon女王强势登陆 细数新版更新变化!
集体娱乐公司最近宣布《tera》更新中加入了argon女王。我们就此采访了制作人员chris hager。来看看我们发现了什么,留下你的评论和我们共享吧!
mmorpg:对那些最近没有关注《tera》的人来说,你能和我们具体谈谈游戏里女王的情况吗?
chris hager:argon女王的更新给《tera》世界带来了新内容。有三个新的60级实例,通过我们nexus 事件可以进入一个20人的集体攻击,还有新的战场等等许多许多改变,同时加强了我们以前的功能。当然这次更新远不止这些,都是为了给玩家全新的体验并且完善了他们以前拥有的东西。
mmorpg:现在,新的更新是如何确保勇士们实际上可以像坦克一样战斗呢?
chris hager:勇士们将会拥有一个新防守姿势,这就允许他们直接阻止伤害,就像是现在的枪骑兵怎样战斗。这样他们就可以像普通坦克一样迎面接受攻击了。对于经验较少的勇士,这是组建战队的最佳方式。他们也会保持进攻姿势,所以如果你掌握了躲闪防御,你就会像在家一样轻松了。战士和枪骑兵的攻击力会增强,同时也会使他们各自的级别更强。
mmorpg:这次补丁里枪骑兵也有一些调整,是吧?在保持了他们坦克功能核心的基础上,你们是怎么使他们变得更加灵活呢?
chris hager:枪骑兵们得到了一些不错的技能,这将使他们在战斗中更加敏捷。他们向前猛地一跃,把手里的盾狠狠砸向对方,极大程度上给予对方一记痛击。防御时,他们向后迅速跳跃来躲避攻击。
mmorpg:和我们说说一些战场的事吧,那里有什么?
chris hager:《tera》的战场是这样的。一种竞技场类型的设置里,游戏允许两支来自同一服务器或不同服务器的分别以15人组成的队伍进入,然后互相进行一场枪战来获取分数。这都是策略问题,通过占据地图上的三个基地-这要先打败系统事先分散的那些坐镇防守的怪兽,或者和你的对手面对面战斗。就这样一直进行着,没有比先于对手更快地赢取分数再好的方法了。其他的就交给玩家们自己决定了。当你胜利(或失败后),你会赢得赏金荣誉,这样你就可以坐着数自己的装备和物资了。
mmorpg:这比我们上次在测试版里见到的pvp系统有什么变化呢?
chris hager:现在已经实现了大量的核心更新,已经实现了像赏金荣誉系统(竞技场中赢取现金)那样的新的装备来赢取。地图也做了相应的修改,顶部视觉的变更,使得现在bams称为地图上得分了一部分了。得分的过程被修改后考虑了几种关于怎样赢的新的策略,包括杀死bams,定位和杀死其他的玩家等等。所以关于你怎样战斗和你的策略是什么都有了一个全新的标准。
mmorpg:战场上的形式会影响政治系统吗?
chris hager:我们仍在评估行业之间的系统会对我们的现行的服务器有什么影响。当我们继续追踪调整我们的系统时,我也知道其实可以合并战场。我们需要克服的一些障碍就是需要联系好它们,即使到现在它们在vanarch系统里也是分开的。
mmorpg:能请你告诉我们argon女王的新的地下城和这场战争背后的意义吗?之后的故事该怎么发展呢?
chris hager:argon女王的更新里有新的5人的地下城和一个全新的20人的攻击。argon人体博物馆是argon的终极堡垒——这里就是argon的出生地,在这里它们可笑到最后。manaya的重点在于shandra manaya的致命诱惑,这就是女王(这战斗一点都不难)。最后,我们还有sirjuka画廊,它是thulsa的实验室之一,这里,thulsa研究出了无数的神秘物质。最开始的两个就是传统的地下城,但是sirjuka画廊就是一个很不错的定时防御的例子。
mmorpg:最后,让我们来了解一下游戏最新添加的20人攻击行动——nexus traverse。
chris hager:nexus traverse使用了《tera》的最新攻击系统,只有胜利赢得了nexus事件才能进入20人攻击模式。走进这里,你会得到一支战斗部队去交叉维堡垒,那里会有nexus生物出没。
mmorpg:非常感谢您能接受我们的采访!很期待我们新型敏捷的枪骑兵的到来!
chris hager:我们也很高兴能够看见玩家们适应我们新的防御变化,当然还有新的地下城。我会继续关注大家在战场上的动态的……专业玩家网最火爆的游戏工作室论坛,提供游戏工作室交流,游戏项目,游戏赚钱,工作室辅助工具,游戏打金技术,游戏币交易,网游交易!
En Masse Entertainment recently announced The Argon Queen update for TERA. We had the opportunity to chat with Producer Chris Hager all about The Argon Queen. See what we discovered and then leave your thoughts in the comments.
MMORPG:For those who haven’t been keeping up with TERA lately, can you give us an overview of what The Argon Queen will include for the game?
Chris Hager:The Argon Queen update brings great new content to the world of TERA. Three new level 60 instances, a 20-person raid accessible through our nexus events, battlegrounds, and a lot of changes and enhancements to our existing classes. There’s also a ton more, all aimed at giving players new experiences and enhancing what they already have.
MMORPG:How will the new changes make sure Warriors are actually viable tanks from here on?
Chris Hager:Warriors will get a new defensive stance that allows them to block damage directly, similar to how lancers currently tank. This will allow them to take damage head on like a traditional tank and, for less-experienced warriors, will be a great way to contribute to a group. They’ll keep their offensive stance, too, so if you’ve mastered dodge tanking, you’ll still feel at home. Warrior and lancer attacks will also do more damage, which will make them better solo classes as well.
MMORPG:The Lancers are also getting a bit of a tweak this patch, right? How will you be making them more mobile while still retaining their core role of tank?
Chris Hager:Lancers are getting some sweet skills that will make them much more agile in combat. With Wallop, lancers leap forward and smash their shields into the ground, damaging and possibly stunning opponents. With Backstep, they can leap backward to avoid an attack.
MMORPG:Tell us a bit about the Battlegrounds, and what’s involved.
Chris Hager:TERA’s battlegrounds are going to pit two teams of 15 players from the same or different servers against one another in a shootout to see whose team can earn points in an arena-type setting. It’s all about strategy; earning points quickly through either capturing and holding the three bases on the map—defeating boss monsters and BAMs scattered throughout—or going head to head against your opponents. The options and strategies go on and on, and there is no one superior way to win other than to earn points faster than the other team. The rest we leave up to the players! After you’ve won (or lost), you’ll earn Bounty Honors that you can turn in for a wide array of gear and consumables.
MMORPG:How has this system of PVP changed since we last saw it in the beta stages?
Chris Hager:There have been a lot of behind-the-scenes coding changes and implementation such as a Bounty Honor system (currency for competing in battlegrounds) and new gear to win. The map has also been revised, and on top of visual changes BAMs are now a part of the map and point-scoring process. The scoring process has been revised to take into account several new strategies for how to win (killing BAMs, capturing locations, killing other players, and so on), so there’s a whole new dimension to how you fight and what your strategy is.
MMORPG:Will the Battlegrounds play any role in the political system as well?
Chris Hager:We’re still evaluating how effective the guild-versus-guild system is on our live servers for vanarch positions. As we continue to track and tweak the system, we also know that we can instead incorporate battlegrounds. There are a few hurdles we would have to jump through to hook them up, though, so for now they’re completely separate from the vanarch system.
MMORPG:What can you tell us about the Argon Queen’s new dungeon and the lore behind this fight? Where will the story go from here?
Chris Hager:There are three new 5-person dungeons and an all-new 20-person raid with The Argon Queen update. Argon Corpus is the ultimate fortress of the argons—this is where the argons are constructed and will make their last stand. Manaya’s Core is the inner sanctum of Shandra Manaya, who is the Argon Queen (that fight won’t be hard at all). Lastly, we have Sirjuka Gallery, which is one of Thulsa’s labs when he was pretending to be the Mysterium researcher Malachai. The first two are traditional dungeons, but Sirjuka Gallery is a timed defense instance.
MMORPG:Lastly, let’s go into some detail about the new 20-person raid being added to the game: Nexus Traverse.
Chris Hager:The Nexus Traverse uses TERA’s new raid system and can only be accessed after a successful nexus event. Going inside this instance will send your raid group to a cross-dimensional fortress where the nexus creatures come from.
MMORPG:Thanks so much for your time! Looking forward to my Lancer’s new mobile nature.
Chris Hager:We are excited to see how players adapt to the new changes in tanking, and also the new dungeons. I’ll keep an eye out for you in battlegrounds, too…
