Task of classification and obligations of Warcraft game system design inspiration _14
Posted by admin on 10/31/2011The task of Warcraft boasts more than 1,500, so many tasks, it is inevitable that some water in it, but these vast task of classification, such as Xinghai look down you can learn a lot. (Because I practiced the tribe, so choose the direction of tribal The more classic task)
It is said that the task of Warcraft much, but is still based on the stuff to take the task of those Shaguai represent a large part, no meaning, I want to say is that when you truly understand the motives of Warcraft World of tasks, each task chewing plot, feeling every task details, you will find it interesting than you imagine and more.
First, to eliminate (or beat) a monster.
Program to achieve the lowest degree of difficulty, as long as the verification of the monsters killed (number) can be, we should say, such a task in WOW largest proportion of the mission system in other online games are also the most common, because the realization of such a task system not very difficult, task of the program as long as the arrangements specified NPC, dialogues and tasks to complete testing tasks, but also the most easy to arrange the type of story missions.
Required to destroy the monster is divided into two categories, one common monster, one BOSS class monsters. Needless to say ordinary monster, BOSS class monsters also have triggered some of the premise, such as the crossroads of the fanatical Wei Luoge task Fight Centaur will emerge after a certain number, as well as the crossroads of AI tasks of its subunits, in its nest near the horn sounded to call it.
Second, the collection of items.
Items collected four categories:
⑴, specify the monsters will drop items (such as the intersection of stealing money Raptor tasks)
⑵, specify the monsters drop random items (such as the zebra crossing hostage mission)
⑶, and can be seen from the map collection of items (such as the intersection of fungus spores tasks)
⑷, created by the player items (such as Ashenvale Warsong clan supplies the task)
Online games in general is also the most common types of tasks in addition to fixed to be scheduled and tasks specified NPC dialogue, the program only disposable items lost road (up monster loot items or map items) and task completion can be detected.
Third, the dialogue task.
Important task type, often combined with other types of tasks used.
⑴, direct dialogue with someone.
⑵, give someone the specified items and dialogue with the task of collecting different items, the items of the tasks given by the Task Start NPC directly. (Such as the Barrens Battle Hymn of the submission task)
Role in the game mainly in the following areas:
⑴, advance the plot development.
⑵, to lure players into the next map.
⑶, leading to subsequent tasks.
⑷, the game allows players to understand the background of the story.
Fourth, the escort mission.
NPC to reach the target maintenance purposes, the way a certain place will refresh monster, this time to be careful not to target NPC death, or mission failure. Wailing Caverns is the best example of Tau Druid escort mission.
Program to achieve: a fixed location refresh monster, NPC determine whether the target of death is transferred to the mission fails, if the NPC is still alive at the end of the task, the task is completed.
Fifth, to explore the task.
General requirement is to reach the designated place to explore the region can be completed for players familiar with the map and some characteristics of the task also requested that certain things, such as the crossroads of the pool of forgotten tasks, in the pool water to see, where there is bubbling , to be sufficient to complete the brink.
Mission statement:
Added to the graph. Runetotem lecture you find.
Explore the Forgotten pools
A long time ago, the Barrens was a lush, vibrant lively place, but fighting and disaster after another to come in this land, and finally the rest of the dry and barren desert this one. It is, so, really so I am sad, but in the past few years, poor land there is a new oasis, angry and reproduce in this land, we felt Druid deep underground in an attempt to force out of the ground We must find the source of this force, go to the crossroads of north-west side of the pool a trip to oblivion, where the lake in search of a source of strength, then come back here.
Six occupational tasks.
The reason to sort out this task because of its specificity in occupational tasks, players will be familiar with the properties of their profession, expertise, skills, operating skills necessary to temper these tasks to do well in World of Warcraft. Master of professional tasks such as training of Frost Nova’s ability to master killing monsters and exercise endurance, Outlaws of the professional tasks and unlock the ability to practice the drug coating.
Mission system derived from the game Warcraft mission system design inspiration:
First, the task of the narrative.
World of Warcraft in the task,wow po, even if it is one of the most obscure small task, there will be descriptions and instigating the story paragraphs. Mission statement will give players a sense of substitution, allowing the player to become part of the story of this mission, so as to drive the player into the task, the overall atmosphere of the game invented. small task predicament, a big task, and the game special is the context of strict coherence task, it is enough to deliberately rendering the atmosphere, allowing the player feel the game’s history can also be left by themselves, when task is completed, it will have a great sense of satisfaction. the story of a task together, as if the wings of the Phoenix gradually full up, the story of the game pieces are displayed to the players section, which is also a game where the content.
Description of the task is reflected in the very style of Blizzard’s Warcraft, and some premises are finished Ninetowns commensurate classic. To name a few, can be evident by:
1, Uldaman energy, Master occupational tasks.
Find an obsidian source of energy to the dust and mud of their pond of Tabetha.
Obsidian energy source 0 / 1
Since the devil has been eliminated, then we have to find a source of energy, poor is the most suitable energy source is often very old and extremely difficult to obtain. Sometimes, luck is so loving tease you, so why not right? Therefore, in order to get the energy source, you have to go to Uldaman against the obsidian there to defend his body ambitious and difficult to improvise, but you can get from him the source of energy we need! I wish you good luck, Lee Na and if you bad luck, then hh is very pleasant sense of you.
See the last sentence does not? Oh.
2, the energy Ritual, Master of occupational tasks.
The Energy Ritual 0 / 1
Ah hh I think of it, my book has no! You know, I owe a bunch of money, had the last one hh He is a member of the Scarlet Crusade, he must be brought to book their basis in mm of the Scarlet Monastery in Tirisfal library building to go! If you want to book it, you have to trip convent. is guilty bring you so much trouble, these days I have had some dizzy hh
It turns out that hermit guy in Dustwallow Marsh to avoiding the debt, even books sold debt, and Ha.
3,wow eu gold, Stranglethorn Vale’s debt collection act.
To Booty Bay Mare’s clubfoot 0 / 1
Jojo’s golden telescope 0 / 1
Sock of the giant ring 0 / 1
I have far fewer friends here IOUs, but there are still many do not credit the guy owes me money. Next, we have to deal with thumb Suk. these guys owe a debt of long, I think they do not want to have it! Later, I said who they were lured to a jungle and I certainly do not care for them in the end what happens mm I want is my money! they should be on the northeast side of the ruins of Abo Raz and Zhu Bu Waer ruins. find them,safe wow gold, put my money back.
It is obvious this guy is special place in the World of Warcraft trace the money to complete this, and there are a number of debt collection act.
4, revision 2 Z Hinterlands task.
In the barren scalp collected 20 dead trees, and Nimes Papua spear placed in the dead trees along the village, then back to Stranglethorn Vale Nimes Papua there.
Terrible message to convey.
Witherbark tribe was originally an ally, but they had betrayed the Saar hh they want to be punished for this! To pick up my spear to the north of the desolate land. Hunt where the dead wood, collect their scalp, in the they plug in a village on the land of my spear. let them know, departure from the tribe, sooner or later have to repay!
World of Warcraft version of the legendary Infernal Affairs?
Therefore, the task of interpretation to be funny natural, must also have the serious task of solemn tone, but also to meet the mission NPC’s disposition, and even application of the current popularity of the language appropriate in achieving the task at the same time, the player will know how to step by step The mission NPC’s story, personality, do not spontaneously into one.
Second, the task of the trigger.
In World of Warcraft there are several
⑴, mission NPC. Mission NPC is generally the game the usual way to trigger the task, do not go into details (of course, NPC also silly crouched into a place and wander around the.)
⑵, monster loot. Can be divided into random and fixed-fall drop. Feralas, Gadgetzan, Hinterlands and other random monster drop OOX robot task is quite interesting. Fixed Drop tasks such as killing some particularly strange (such as a typical camp Taurajo above Thunder Lizard, Thunderbird, gray valley of the three animals) will be out of the task items, click the trigger task.
⑶, click on the map items. Tend to be more subtle. Wanted to make the village of Warcraft is relatively easy to find such a task. Others include barrels, boxes, like the altar, the mouse will move to the top gear like to remind appear.
Normal in the first class of more online games, take part in the initiative triggered methods II and III, insisted the player receives a sense of mission and the new sense of the unknown.
Third, the task prompt.
In World of Warcraft, the task is done commensurate with good tips. NPC head yellow exclamation mark on behalf of a task can take a white exclamation point on behalf of the task but you have not yet arrived at the task level, a yellow question mark on your behalf in the NPC at the task has been completed, the white question mark on your behalf at the NPC but did not complete the task then, I think, in general, online games, tips generally not enough for the task, and sometimes players do not even remember what the NPC at the pick up What tasks, resulting in a messy task, while the general difficulty of the task of Warcraft will note that the destination is probably in the position to complete the task, as long as four weeks in some areas of mission NPC, the NPC will in a small yellow dots on the map marked out, to give players enough hints. this way and experience for the task to provide assistance in the widespread adoption of online games.
Fourth, the difficulty of the task control.
Let me talk about the difficulty of controlling a single task in the chain structure common tasks, lantianyou.com, the difficulty is gradual, such as Stranglethorn 摩克萨尔丁 magic, the task of starting from a cheetah kill Deep Throat (37 — 38) began the second step is to get items from the jungle hunters (39m41 level) get, the third step required to kill an adult gorilla tendon strange Level 38 — 41 , the last step to take from the Naga to the Quan Quan in water (Naga level 43m44). noted that these tasks can be required to complete a single level is increased gradually step by step, so when the design of the task chain, should not exceed the level is too large between tasks, or task becomes more difficult the lower back. grade span is too large to give the player the feeling of no consensus, coupled with the ability to not complete the task before being cheated, resulting in greatly increased risk of abandoned tasks; inverted arrangement of task difficulty, the more not to back the more challenging, the results give the player a sense of accomplishments also reduced.
Besides the difficulty of the game all restraint. Still World of Warcraft, for example (a copy of the task also counted as a sector).
1-5, the players Xinshoucun activity, this time the task is generally to the killing, collect items and explore the main design must pay attention to the difficulty of lower-related tasks, so that novice familiar with the game moving rapidly in the task The games are played, such as killing monsters tasks can reduce the number of monsters needed to complete tasks and reduced low-level strange capacity to collect the needed items task items must be large and eye back, away from the Xinshoucun exploration missions to near the destination. and the crux is a must have detailed description of the location specified task is necessary, so that players will not complete the task without any context.
6-12 level, players will be separated from ordinary Xinshoucun reach the first town, how many tasks in addition to the foregoing, should also be appropriate to add the task to destroy the general BOSS, high point of this task alone players to provocation, the primary point caliber team players must be overcome in the level will enhance the exchange and team players, the game adds interactivity.
13-20 class,fast wow gold, this time the players already know enough about the game Nong Fa, is the large number of tasks required to progress the player’s skills (including personal skills and teamwork skills), the first copy of a need to meet the task in such a born under the conditions (such as Orgrimmar Ragefire Canyon), a copy of stress in with the team, a human error may have caused the collapse of the team. nothing more than a copy as the first, the difficulty must be a good control , Atlas can not be too bulky, not too high monster density, BOSS capability can not be too strong.
21-30 class, as above, but this time the task to consider adding some tips or gimmicks to increase the number of hidden elements, so that different players in different tasks at different experience this time a copy of the difficulty may be appropriately increased . (intersection of the Wailing Caverns is a copy of this period will enter a copy of the details and difficulty in dealing with the very good aspects, but the only downside is that the map is too complex to effectively, been to two or three people who may not be familiar with As I walked eight times in the current was perverting the mind.)
31-40 level, players will normally be at this stage in the break area movement, friction with the hostile camp, increasing the player to complete the task team would account for a large part of it can increase the proportion of the team to complete the task, as well as some of the need for good operational control of the task. copy can increase the density of the monster, the test team’s ability to deal with gradient state (such as razor elite 3 2 Normal Heights and patrol strange strange combination), BOSS skills and AI enhanced, allowing the player itself explore techniques to overcome the BOSS. (such as Gnomeregan final BOSS, hit him when the next bomb will keep transmitter release bombs to attack the player, need a bomb to go off switch.)
41-50 level, to the level of the players are generally already good operation and adequate understanding of their own profession, a strong desire to complete the task alone, the task team to consider the proportion decreased. A copy of a substantial increase in difficulty, some areas require a specific professional much more easily through the skills (such as Uldaman group of dwarves, magic can play a range of hearty), some areas require players to spend a lot of drugs (such as the Marathon of the toxic water BOSS, nourishing and healing agents of pharmaceutical use) , playing BOSS requires skill and luck (the Princess Mara Burton, fighters accumulate enough rancor, thieves and mages, hunters main damage output, Pastoral Care of soldiers at the same time we must pay attention not to be the princess eye. to deal with large-scale gas princess, close combat The battle to take turns. the ability to deal with the princess is gone, the soldiers to stand against the wall.)
51-60 class, this time a whole new type of task, a large team tasks (RAID step team), you need more than 5, 40 players together to complete the following. These tasks are also a great challenge for the players, not just an ordinary team not complete, even with the RAID teams have good and accurate strategic leadership possible defeat in the rich rewards and attractive items falling in front, the player will keep the organization staff to kill BOSS, such as dust Black Dragon Princess mud bog, Azshara Blue Dragon, Molten Core flame lord, etc. A copy of this era, almost every wave of enemies is a challenge, once disposed of carelessly, team destruction is very abnormal, Skills + Strategies + luck, not one less, to complete a copy of the task difficult.
Thus to follow the course of the game in all aspects of scheduling tasks, it is fair to assess the players of the stage to make the best of the mission deployment.
Fifth, the task of rhythm control.
This copy of the task to be vigilant in that, because a copy of the task often requires a long time, how in such a period of time to master the player’s emotional ups and downs, reasonable control various challenges to bring the player’s interest. A copy of which will be generally a number of regions, each region has a small BOSS, finally, there is a final BOSS. players in the eradication of a certain monster, the mood will gradually depressed to the lowest point in the mood disappeared before the emergence of small BOSS, a bring in enough to challenge the player to bring the atmosphere of the tasks the other hand, the supply of attractive items falling, down to the players continued to explore the energy. a small section of boom is over, the ultimate BOSS before the onset of the players because of fatigue other causes of emotions to reach the lowest point, the emergence of the ultimate BOSS draw the journey gave a complete stop. With the victory over the final BOSS, players like experience on a film starring himself, happy to reach the highest point.
Sixth, the task of hidden factors.
There are many elements to hide the meaning, as indicated, usually more prone to this type of task the player’s interest, because other players will not necessarily feel that, if his first task to reveal this occurs a great sense of achievement.
⑴, to complete the task can have a variety of ways, some ways comparable to hide.
⑵, received the task is hidden factors such as the black shield Dustwallow Marsh suspicious hoofprint tasks and task has been destroyed in a junction found in hotels, the mouse pointer to the above prompt will appear, so is the hidden elements.
⑶, task hidden facts Physiognomy. Orgrimmar Nier Lu Warcraft Burning Blade is the authentic version of Infernal Affairs, the task in progress, will find that he is a traitor hidden in Orgrimmar.
⑷, the task in the task. Uldaman solve the final BOSS, in the back room will find a platinum disc (CD-ROM it is ancient), put it next to a statue will appear in a fictional images, and There are specific instructions, and finally received the CD can be sent back to Thunder Bluff hidden tasks.
Seven, the optional task.
Is often said that the branch task, but this is not the task of Warcraft in many of the most typical should be Horde Desolace Centaur mission, there are two Centaur tribes, you can choose killing the other party to the promotion degree of friendship, amity reaches a certain level after the task more acceptable, professional skills can be considered a branch of the selection task, such as the blacksmith’s weapons and armor specialization specialization, the direction of the elements of leather, tribal direction and Dragonscale direction, engineering University of Engineering and Goblin Engineering dwarf.
However, the task can be more choices on the performance of the program with the plan to carry out more work, so in the network game, unless absolutely necessary, the individual can not show too many branches of the task.
Eight, the task of the awards.
In World of Warcraft, in addition to the lessons of fixed reward, the reward is generally only two tasks, money or goods. Money, so be it, but reward items I thought some of the settings, because some tasks to reward players who do nothing out of the no use (for example, can only wear Leather civilian career incentives, as long as the intellectual career incentives to prompt items), which led to the players on the task Jue tick, have their own incentives to do, so do not be skipped.
So I think that the task in the current system, with points of such a property of the task, the task will have to complete all tasks of varying the number of points can be obtained. As for the role of the task point, I supposed the following points:
⑴, changes quest items some properties, such as Master, the task was rewarded a 20 Agility 10 Stamina’s clothes, provide a quick task point can be converted into the Master’s intellectual needs, but should be noted that this change only quest items, if for all items is the case, the balance of the game will be a great blow.
⑵, with the task of points for a specific title. Different titles have different characteristics, such as Of course, the name of this task requires a lot of points could obtain. If you wish to return for a new title, the original title into 1 / 2 points back to the task of points in the overall mission. You can also set some specific titles before they can accept the need the task.
⑶, the task requires a certain point it may be a task. This task must be the main task, and the game has a lot to the main storyline, so that the player in order to complete the main quest, but also through the completion of a large number of branch points Renwu accumulate Renwu .
World of Warcraft I was impressed more in-depth interesting task:
⑴, barren land of tribal revenge grace the final step, they want you to blow up the Bael Modan aircraft, lwfb888.com, the explosives used in the previous task is to collect the wood pulp, sodium nitrate, etc. to do it, this is the task of continuing well represented.
Obligation to clarify:
Bael Modan aircraft destroyed, and then to grace. Pagoda reply.
Bell flying Modan device has been destroyed
Katz Gemu diary in accordance with the method described on the powder should not be made out of a problem. Then we start it, first I have a special mission to give you complete. Take on only Bangalore, to blow up Bael Modan aircraft and this aircraft is not only the Bael Modan vital part of military facilities, but also a terrifying killing machine, more importantly, it is the right symbol, but it is our tribe who represent a Recall of shame and I will feel proud of your success, you will also get a rich reward.
⑵, Stonetalon the sun’s Tamu La Stone will call home before you put the seeds collected from species to Gaia coke Valley mound, planting of Warcraft is also rampant, due to coke Valley mound is limited, so often is to see a mound, several people speeding past, who first planted the seeds of contented laughter, not kind to the crying, ha ha, very funny.
Mission statement:
The 10 species planted in Gaia Gaia’s mound in, 17zhuanqian.net, and stone home with the sun to talk about the Tamu La.
Planting Seeds of Gaia
As you can see, thieves, dirty mind I think this piece of barren land can bring new life you have to destroy these seeds planted in the source, the coke-ri on the west side is a large artificial source of damage this piece mm infected eagles are everywhere on the land itself and the vicious element of fire. wicked storm, holding them with the kind of magic of Gaia, Gaia them planted in the mound.
⑶, Hillsbrad hills of Kula Hull revenge mission, the tribes do this task a bit difficult, because the destination is the alliance of cities and towns, it is easy to kill guards and Alliance players. Retrogradation through N times After hard, try to finally return, after the resurrection call a group of Hull Kula Skeletons attack the South China Sea, of course … eventually can not help but hit the guard to death by the South China Sea, but we had a heart still cool. ago version also BUG, he will continue to call out the skeleton soldiers until engulfed the South China Sea .. sorry I did not play in that version to the task.
Mission statement:
The flame will Aixi Er, Wo Lazi the flame and the flame You Jier effort Note 入赫尔库拉 the magic wand. After the baptism ceremony by the magic wand to the South China Sea town of Hull Kula cemetery.
Hull took the Kula magic wand, you will need it it’s Hull Kula with three cremation pyre to build his most powerful spell: Ai Xier of the flame and the flame in the hilly areas of Wola Zi The cave, You Jier of flame in the hills above the cave, another cave in the mountains further north. Hull Kula magic wand to go through the baptism of these three groups of flame ability to display their role in the ceremony is complete, the magic Stick to the cemetery to Hull Kula, tall cemetery guards heavily in the South China Sea by the human town of Kula’s Revenge coming to Hull clumsy human head in it!
⑷, Hillsbrad Hills Passion pharmaceutical tasks, abnormal with your pharmacist to the pharmacy to this filth of a puppy farm to eat, eat the results, puppy dogs … but also a bigger mess the kind of bite, no measures had to manage it easily.
Mission statement:
Pharmacy to the black than the suffering.
I have to spend time while these ingredients mixed together, causing suffering Pharmacy. Victory! Ah, what to bring to the world than the point of disaster even more pleased that it? So we can see that agents reach the expected consequences. let my assistant look dark black queen than the Scourge preparations for human and what kind of gift.
⑸, desolate land trapping Kodo tasks very different type of task, or near death of the elderly Kodo application lure device, then it becomes conquered Kodo as you go, this time the most pleasant thing is to open acceleration techniques, looking more than a grand in my section behind Rush, was especially cool.
Mission statement:

Kodo to lure device to take or use any old dying Kodo body and then will become tame the beast that Kodo will then follow you once you tame a Kodo, then bring it to me.
There are many worthy of sharing tasks, leaving you to experience yourself slowly.
World of Warcraft, you can not do the task, but you do not do the task, the task will always be helpless to understand the fun. The task of Warcraft system, wonderful essence of the game will be integrated into a single network game itself, you choose a different career, the game will be different camps have different recess, you are prompted every moment of this part of the world, this is the real Role
Play. At the same time, it a good grasp of the rhythm of the game, so you grow up in the task has been, to improve grade level in the task, the task is to obtain items of equipment, the tasks become a real old bird, so the future of the network the task of the game system, you can refer to warning about World of Warcraft, the online games have been formulaic, monotonous trend, the design of a different game in itself the task of the right to go its own style.
Because this article is purely my personal opinion, is somewhat at fault and shortcomings, so please a lot of treatise, let me refute and proposed development. ^ _ ^
