《斗阵特攻》释出研发更新影片 说明新模式「竞技对战」改动与运作方向

　　Blizzard 近日释出《斗阵特攻》研发更新影片，由游戏总监 Jeff Kaplan 针对预计于 6 月底推出的「竞技对战」新模式改动方向。

　　在新释出的影片中，Jeff Kaplan 首先感谢玩家对于游戏的支持，并强调他们正努力让游戏更加进步、使其保持新鲜感，且已正在设计新英雄以及新地图，预计今年内陆续登场。 除此之外，他们也在开发能强化游戏体验的功能，像是改进直播或是观战者的观战视角等。

　　目前研发团队正专心制作的是计划于 6 月底推出的「竞技对战」。 目前游戏中默认的模式是快速对战，我们希望玩家能在这个模式中轻松地游玩，但「竞技对战」是适合想在游戏对战内更认真竞赛的玩家的新模式。

　　他提到，新版本的竞技对战是藉由玩家的反应和意见改进并重新构思的内容，第一项改动是将赛季长度从一个月拉长至三个月，让玩家能更清楚看到自己的技术等级上下的变动，并依据北半球季节来做区分，例如夏日赛季，中间也会有一小段时间让玩家休息、重整状态再进入秋日赛季。

　　而针对「竞技对战」容易进入「殊死战」的状况，他说：「我们观察到每场对战大约有 50% 的机会进入延长赛，而殊死战在统计数字上则有 35% 的机会发生，我们觉得这样有点太多了。 当两队实力不相上下时，进入殊死战会非常酷，但我们想降低殊死战发生的频率，我们希望它成为一件当两队实力非常相近时出现的罕见的状况，因此我们做了一些改动，以降低殊死战的发生频率；而另外一项改动则是，当殊死战发生时，会以你正身处的地图为战场，不会随机换到一张控制类型的地图。 针对占领类型地图，研发团队也做了调整，交战时间将变得更久，让双方之间有更多的机会一较高下。 」

　　未来的「竞技对战」中将移除位阶制度，改采用内部人员称为「配对积分」、玩家称为「MMR」的机制，并将其命名为「实力排名」的新概念。 Jeff 说明：「不是每一场比赛都会完全公平，但倘若双方存在战力差距，你赢的时候获得的分数更多，输的时候扣得比较少。 」

　　他指出：「未来很多信息都将在画面上直接显示，我们认为透明化的信息是玩家在竞技对战中所要求的事物，玩家想验证自己的技术，并且也想要知道自己的技术跟其他玩家比起来究竟如何。 」

完整说明可参考以下影片：

   

　　关于更多《斗阵特攻》改动细节将于日后公开。

Overwatch competitive mode out today on PC, next week on consoles
《斗阵特攻》PC 版正式推出「竞技对战」模式

　　Blizzard 今日宣布，旗下线上射击游戏《斗阵特攻》PC 版正式推出最新游戏模式「竞技对战」，当玩家 25 级时可以解锁、游玩此项模式，玩家可以组队或是以个人身份加入，配对系统将会自动帮玩家找到实力等级相近的对手，让玩家在竞技场上享受对战乐趣。

　　Blizzard 表示，玩家在开始竞技生涯前，必须要先完成 10 场预选赛来获得初始实力排名，排名为介于 1 到 100 间的数字，愈高代表实力愈强，而实力排名会依据许多因素而随着比赛的输赢产生起伏，包含玩家的表现以及比赛中其他玩家的实力。

　　Blizzard 指出，竞技对战模式将包含四个赛季，每个赛季持续两个半月，玩家可在赛季结束重置之前提升自己的实力排名并提升自己的位阶。

　　至于参与竞技对战模式的玩家将能获得只有竞技对战才有的新奖励，在赛季结束时，任何一位完成 10 场预选赛的玩家都会获得特殊的喷漆与玩家头像，且每一季都会有不一样的设计。 此外，玩家获胜时可以得到竞技点数，并根据个人表现在赛季末得到些点数，这些竞技点数可以用来换取供英雄使用的黄金武器，而赛季中也将会在游戏内显示高手排名。

　　Blizzard 指出，玩家在竞技中若是在比赛中暂离或是提早中离游戏将会使该名玩家无法在该比赛结束前加入新的游戏，玩家还是可以重新加入该场比赛，但如果不愿回到刚才的比赛，就会受到中离惩罚。 持续的违规行为将会限制玩家参加未来的竞技比赛。 当违反行为不断累犯，竞技对战被封锁的时间会持续增加。 藉由中规中矩地完成比赛可使账号逐渐回到正常状态。 但重复的违反行为将可能使违规玩家直接被剔出这季的竞技对战，还可能没收奖励等。

　　对《斗阵特攻》竞技对战有兴趣的玩家，可参考官方部落格说明。https://playoverwatch.com/zh-tw/



Overwatch Competitive Play Patch Update

Hey all,

If you've been following our developer videos or forum posts, you know that the Overwatch team has been working hard to finish our upcoming patch which includes Competitive Play (as well as a few other quality-of-life changes). From the beginning, our intent has been to release this patch by the end of June—and since July is nearly here, we wanted to give you a quick status update.

Patching on PC and Console

First, we wanted to be upfront and let players know that we won’t be able to release our Competitive Play patch on all platforms at the same time. The patch will be going live on PC today, while PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players can expect it sometime next week. We don’t have an exact date to share, but we can confirm that the patch is going through approvals right now on both platforms.

We know this isn’t an ideal way to deliver new content, so we’re going to continue to refine our patching processes over the next few months in an effort to sync up our release dates across platforms as closely possible. Although our Battle.net client will always allow us to be more agile on PC, we hope to reach a point where we can release major updates on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 simultaneously.

In the meantime, stay tuned to PlayOverwatch.com (or follow us on Twitter) for all the latest patch news and updates.

Shorter Summer Season

We also wanted to let players know that the first season of Competitive Play will be an abbreviated one, lasting only two months instead of the normal three. This is because our Competitive Play patch is launching in the middle of the Summer 2016 season, which technically began on June 1 (a minor side-effect of our real-world season system). As a result, our inaugural season will include approximately 1.5 months of play rather than the full 2.5 months, ending on August 18 across all platforms. The Fall 2016 season will then begin as scheduled following our standard two-week off-season break.

We’re super excited to release Competitive Play, and we made the decision to move ahead with a shorter season for two key reasons. One, we want players to be able to start working towards their Competitive Play rewards as soon as possible. And two, we believe this first season will teach us a lot of about what works well, what doesn't, and what players are really looking for from a competitive system in Overwatch. Competitive Play is definitely one of those features that will take us a few iterations to get right, and by getting the system out there sooner, we can start making improvements based on your feedback sooner too.

New Overwatch Hero Revealed: Ana
《斗阵特攻》曝光新英雄「安娜」 使用生化步枪的辅助英雄

　　Blizzard 今日公开旗下射击游戏《斗阵特攻》在上市后首位曝光的新英雄「安娜」，是位使用狙击步枪来治疗队友的辅助英雄。

　　新英雄安娜设定年龄 60 岁，职业为赏金猎人，捍卫者的创始成员之一，主要使用她的技能与专长来保卫家园与至亲。 根据官方故事描述，当智械危机在埃及造成惨重的伤亡时，资源耗尽而且人手不足的维安部队依靠国家的精英狙击手支持，安娜就是其中一员。 原本进行的任务成功之后，安娜晋升为上尉，担任指挥官莫里森的副手多年。 尽管身肩重担，安娜坚持加入作战行动，在战场上活跃至五十多岁。 在一场解救人质的任务中，据信她为利爪恐怖组织的刺客「夺命女」所杀。

　　尽管安娜伤势惨重，失去了右眼，安娜还是从那场劫难中死里逃生。 在疗伤过程中，过去的战斗生涯使她心生倦怠，宁可让世人相信她已经不在这个世上。 然而，随着时光流逝，她看到家园饱受恶人威胁，想要保卫人民的念头再也按捺不住。 带着从捍卫者军备库「申请」来的武器，安娜回到熟悉的世界，抵抗威胁这个国家安危的恶势力，为和平而战。

   

　　研发团队形容「安娜是位身经百战的高手，她运用独特且高度客制化的武器在一段距离外来支持她的队友」。 安娜主要的武器就是生化步枪，可以远距离治疗与强化她的队友，她也能使用生化步枪、睡眠镖与生化手榴弹来削弱敌人的攻击。

以下为安娜主要技能：

生化步枪

　　安娜的步枪所射出的飞镖可以恢复队友的生命值或对敌人造成持续伤害。 她可以使用步枪的瞄准镜拉近目标，精准地射击敌人。

睡眠镖

　　安娜可以用手枪发射飞镖使敌人昏迷（不过敌人受到伤害时便会醒过来）。

生化手榴弹

　　安娜投出一枚生化手榴弹对敌人造成伤害，并治愈小范围内的队友。 受影响的队友在短时间内受到的治疗可获得提升；而在爆炸范围内的敌人短时间内则无法接受治疗。

奈米强化

　　安娜为队友注射战斗药剂后，短时间内队友的移动速度变快、造成更多伤害，并降低敌人所造成的伤害。

   

　　Blizzard 透露，安娜将于近期正式在游戏中登场。 新英雄详情可见官方部落格。

Meet Ana, a battle-scarred agent who would do anything to protect the people closest to her

After hanging up her rifle for over seven years, one of Overwatch’s founding members is returning. Introducing Ana—a battle-scarred veteran who supports her teammates from a distance using a unique and highly specialized collection of weapons.

Ana’s primary weapon is her Biotic Rifle, which fires long-range darts that can restore the health of her allies or deal ongoing damage to her enemies. Meanwhile, her Biotic Grenade is perfect for a close-quarters clash, because it simultaneously heals teammates and injures foes caught in its small area of effect. (Affected allies will also receive a temporary increase to all incoming healing, whereas affected enemies can’t be healed for a few moments.) And if the battle starts to get out of hand, Ana’s side arm can fire a Sleep Dart, knocking her adversaries’ unconscious.

Plus, Ana’s ultimate ability, Nano Boost, transforms teammates into super soldiers, granting faster movement, increased damage, and resistance to enemy attacks.
