​​​​​​​Middle-earth: Shadow of War Free Content Updates & Features Announced
《中土世界：战争之影》五个免费更新将至
转载 - 游民星空（http://www.gamersky.com/news/201711/979766.shtml）

　　《中土世界：战争之影》官方今天公布了游戏即将推出的四个免费更新内容。他们都将在2018 年之前上线。

　　首先是“无尽的围攻”DLC，这是一个要塞攻防战内容，玩家要抵御索伦大军的攻击。“反叛”DLC让你粉碎队伍中的兽人叛军。“照片模式增强版”让你可以在每一场战斗中随时截图，还有新滤镜等内容。“在线竞技场”让玩家的兽人随从之间来一场死斗。还有一个新的更高难度“残忍”，相比涅墨西斯难度更多挑战，并且没有任何最后的机会。

　　前三个免费DLC和新难度将于12月21日推出，在线死斗模式将于12月5日上线，同时华纳还公布了“屠杀部落”和“亡命部落”两款付费DLC，将分别在11月21日和12月12日发售，售价均为15美元，你也可以选择直接购买40美元的季票。鉴于游戏本体的容量已经着实不小，虽然免费DLC很良心，但是硬盘却有些瑟瑟发抖了。

Middle-Earth: Shadow of War permanently removing Gold, War Chests and the Market
《中土世界 战争之影》将永久移除微交易系统
转载 - Vgtime（http://www.vgtime.com/topic/946040.jhtml）

　　近日《中土世界：战争之影》开发商 Monolith 在华纳游戏论坛中发帖表示，针对玩家的反馈，他们将在未来数周和数月内为《中土世界：战争之影》发布一系列免费更新。更重要的是官方确认，游戏的微交易系统也即将永久移除。

　　为了回应几个月前人们对游戏提出的担忧，Monolith 表示他们将移除游戏商店内容的黄金以及战争木箱。他们承认，能够直接购买黄金、通过开箱增加兽人追随者数量“会降低沉浸感并降低玩家组件军队和要塞的挑战性”。

　　“复仇女神系统的核心承诺，是让玩家能够在一个充满世界的开放世界中，建立和盟友以及敌人关系，”Monolith 说道，“尽管在市场上购买兽人更加直接，玩家也有额外的选择，但我们意识到，提供这种选择有可能破坏我们的游戏核心复仇女神系统，它会让你错过一些可能创造出的精彩的玩家故事，即使你不买任何东西，它也会影响同样的故事。”

　　目前，玩家可以花费5/10/20美元购买500/1050/2200黄金，但从5月8日起黄金将无法再被购买；从7月17日起，Monolith 将永久移除黄金，战争木箱和微交易市场本身。如果玩家在7月17日后仍有黄金余额，那么它们将以150黄金/个的兑换率，兑换成黄金战争木箱，而如果玩家黄金余额少于150，它们则会被转化为1个黄金战争木箱。

　　除了微交易的改变，Monolith 还将解决目前“暗影战争”部分的负面反馈，不少玩家都认为反复抵抗索伦大军过于繁琐枯燥。Monolith 承诺，他们会通过“新叙事元素”改善游戏体验，调整复仇女神、技能树和装备系统。这些更新的细节将会在未来公布。

　　“整个团队都对我们忠实的粉丝十分感激，我们认为这些改进将为所有玩家提供最好的《战争之影》的游戏体验。”。Monolith 说道。



Middle-earth: Shadow of War Free Game Updates – Coming July 17

We want to thank all of the Middle-earth: Shadow of War players, as we’ve learned a lot from you. Since we released the game last fall, we’ve been listening to your feedback and continue to update and improve the experience. With that in mind, we’ll be releasing a series of free updates in the coming months to offer current fans and new players the best Shadow of War experience we possibly can.

The core promise of the Nemesis System is the ability to build relationships with your personal allies and enemies in a dynamic open world. While purchasing Orcs in the Market is more immediate and provides additional player options, we have come to realize that providing this choice risked undermining the heart of our game, the Nemesis System. It allows you to miss out on the awesome player stories you would have otherwise created, and it compromises those same stories even if you don’t buy anything. Simply being aware that they are available for purchase reduces the immersion in the world and takes away from the challenge of building your personal army and your fortresses. In order to fully restore the core promise of the Nemesis System, we’ll be permanently removing Gold, War Chests and the Market from Shadow of War. This means the option to purchase Gold with real-world money and the ability to gain Orc Followers from War Chests will be removed. There will be a specific amount of time given for players to utilize their unused Gold. If players have unused Gold by the end of the time allotted to spend it, any remaining Gold will be converted to in-game items.

Additionally, we’ll be updating the Shadow Wars section of the campaign, where players defend their fortresses against Sauron’s repeated counter-attacks. This portion of the game will be improved with new narrative elements and streamlined for a more cohesive experience. For players who choose to continue with these on-going fortress defense missions, the Endless Siege update released last November will still be available. We’ll also be incorporating many other gameplay improvements that will be detailed in future build notes, including Nemesis System updates, new player skins, skill tree additions, gear system upgrades and progression updates, just to name a few that we’re excited about.

Please note that the above updates are free for all Shadow of War owners. The ability to purchase Gold will permanently cease on May 8, 2018. The permanent removal of Gold, War Chests and the Market will take place on July 17, 2018, at the same time as all other updates discussed above.

The entire team here at Monolith appreciates our dedicated fans, and we feel that these improvements will provide all players with the very best Shadow of War gameplay experience. In the meantime, we’ll keep everyone informed throughout the process as we work through the details associated with these changes. We’ve also posted a FAQ as a reference to provide additional information.

Thank you again for your support, Monolith Productions

　　今天开发商 Monolith《中土世界：战争之影（Middle Earth: Shadow of War）》迎来了1.18版本升级，此次升级带走了内购商店。

　　《中土世界：战争之影于去年 9 月份发售后，因能给人留下深刻印象的角色以及被改良的，拥有丰富玩法的「涅墨西斯系统（Nemesis system）」而广受好评（IGN评分：9分），但它同时也因为游戏内包含的商店引起了不少玩家的不满。

　　此前，玩家可在商店中购买包括「战争宝箱（War Chests）」和「经验增幅（XP Boosts）」等在内的，帮助玩家迅速加强军队实力的物品。而在今年4月，开发商Monolith表示为了保留涅墨西斯系统的完整体验、提升游戏乐趣，他们将在今天放出的新版本中删除内购商店相关的所有内容。从今天起，玩家将无法通过花真实货币“开箱子”的方式获得兽人追随者（Orc Followers）和训练指令（Training Orders）。

　　此外，本次的升级包还带来了诸多新内容以及对游戏平衡的调整，比如提升玩家等级上限至80以及减少了需要完成所有故事才能解锁的任务的数量等等。



Middle-earth: Shadow of War – Free Game Improvement & Content Updates – Available Today

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today released a free game improvement update for Middle-earth: Shadow of War, featuring a host of new enhancements and content to provide existing players and newcomers with the best gameplay experience.

• Changes to the Shadow Wars: Renamed the Epilogue, the post-campaign has been vastly streamlined to include new narration from Shelob, the Witch-king and Dark Talion. Victory in the Epilogue rewards players with the Masks of the Nazgûl, unlocks powerful new abilities to raise the dead, curse enemies and summons more powerful monsters.

• Nemesis Improvements: There are more Legendary Orcs to encounter, more ways to get Training Orders (incl. Legendary Training Orders) and followers can now surprise players with the occasional gift. And if any followers are too keen to help out and have been stealing kills, there is now the option to turn off the Savior feature in the menu.

• New Player Skins: Players can now take the fight to Sauron as Celebrimbor, reliving the first War for Mordor, or battle as Dark Eltariel and Baranor.
