Quest Design Insights: Introducing Talanji and Zul in the Stormwind Extraction Scenario

由 Archimtiros 发表于 2020/09/22，02:02

World of WarcraftJennifer Klasing逃出暴风城meet Princess Talanji and Zul of the Zandalar TribeBattle for AzerothSetting the scene with my main characters and a brief description of the thematic reason for going to Stormwind. Summarizing both the gameplay setup for entering the prison and pitching ideas for how. Turns out, we just broke some locks.Some of these things changed in iteration, but here's the original pitch for how that sequence was going to play out.Top-down layouts are your friend. Also note how the location of NPCs inverted in the final scenario. My stab at visualizing the 'flee the city' sequence, which turned into a series of big character moments. When presenting a plan, it's important to indicate how much work there is to do. And, in this case, how much work I would not be doing (by not spawning huge swaths of the city).

评论来自 NeronnEvilknightVery interesting article. It's good to see what could have been, and how they designed it.评论来自 D34thsEyEs"Make sure you know the difference between loyalty and honor." "And pray you never have to choose."

Quite the interesting read about how they designed the scenario. And what's funny enough, Zul didn't have an exclusive model during the design phase.评论来自 BwonsamdiTheDeadHmm... Zul still has an older troll model?评论来自 SnowfaeThat was a pretty damn fun way to start off BfA, I'll give it that.

Pity the rest of the expansion didn't live up to the strong opening, but thems the breaks sometimes.评论来自 GreywyrShame they didn't work out a *reason* for Talanji to be captured yet. Many we'll get another slideshow in a couple of years addressing it.评论来自 OmacronShame they didn't work out a *reason* for Talanji to be captured yet. Many we'll get another slideshow in a couple of years addressing it.评论来自 Grimbeardoverall a great scenario; with one big exception:
The "we-all-stealth-out-together"-part. Most annoying thing I had to do in wow in a long time.
At least now I know who I can mail a rotting fish to, as a thank you :)评论来自 DeployedHmm... Zul still has an older troll model?评论来自 AlakeiThancanHmm...

Legend. Who would win, Big stone city or an old boi with a torch?评论来自 Willowwhispoverall a great scenario; with one big exception:

I think people underestimate what it takes for this game to be created.

I did this quest in like no time and barely gave it a thought.评论来自 RobNajjarWish they had mentioned the best part of the quest, which was watching Zul strut around burning everything like the chaotic gremlin he is.

Rastakhan also had an old model used in those quests.评论来自 NCStarosThis scenario was so horribly implemented in-game. Greymane somehow slower-than-RP-walking at you was just comical and took me completely out of it. And then Jaina makes the tactical decision to let them go because some buildings are on fire?
