How Hi-Rez Makes Games, and Expectations for Beta

Ten years ago, a bunch of lunatics with no game industry experience, led by our CEO Erez Goren, were crazy enough to start a game company. Our goal was always to build "games as a service" -- meaning games that were built from their core around the idea of being frequently updated and shaped by vibrant communities.

Paladins is now our fourth game we've created, the most successful being SMITE.

Over the last 10 years, we've had some massive failures and screw ups, but I like to think we have continually improved.

We were one of the first game developers in the Western (Non-Asian) market to attempt to build very high-quality Free-to-Play games. We've learned a lot, and now are at least smart enough to know how much more we still have to learn!

Because our history and company background is different, our approach to developing games and running betas may be different from what you have experienced with other developers.

In order to really understand what you are testing and how to help us shape the best game we can, I think it is important for our players to understand some of the principles that underly our game development. Without this, I fear people will pre-judge Paladins based on "what it is now" versus "what it will become with your help."

So here are some things I want you to know about how we build games:

Principle #1: Start public testing as early as you can, and let the community help shape the game's development.

Our goal is always to start closed beta testing as soon as we feel we have basic core gameplay and systems in place. We know a lot of things aren't finished or fully polished. But we want your feedback to help us shape where we take the game.

Principle #2: No game is ever done. Labels such as "Closed Beta", "Open Beta", "Released" are mostly artificial marketing milestones.

We will, of course, have big milestones around a Closed Beta (maybe even with multiple "phases"), as well as an Open Beta and a Launch. But really these are just partly artificial marketing milestones. Games are never done. We believe in frequently patching and improving.

Principle #3: Be open.

Streaming and video content creation is allowed from Day One. In some ways, this is dangerous for us, since it means that, years from now, when the game has evolved well beyond the point it is now -- this content will still be out there and may give people a false impression of the current state of the game. (I still cringe when I see some of the early SMITE videos). But, overall, the benefits of being open and transparent outweight the risks.

[NOTE: One reason we LOVE for people to stream our game during beta is that we watch the streams religously. Watching other people play our games gives us insight into what is and isn't working well that is hard to get any other way.]

Principle #4: Don't be afraid to try lots of crazy shit while you are beta.

We'll do some stuff and try some experiments in beta that will seem very stupid and crazy. And they just may be. Old-time testers of SMITE can probably relay some of the insane stuff we did during that beta.

But sometimes these experiments help us learn things about our game that are really important and inform future design. When we run a bad experiment, we will work hard to fix it up as quickly as we can!

Principle #5: Initially worry most about gameplay and fun. We can improve the art quality and general polish later on.

There may be times when we introduce new features or champions or maps before their art quality is at a level that is ideal for us. That's because we want to make sure the gameplay is right before we apply tons of art resources in a direction that isn't working. As gameplay and fun solidify, we will come back around and make the art great.


Principle #6: Patch frequently, add new content constantly, learn from each patch.

I think this one is self-explanatory.

Principle #7: When you are doing #6, bugs and balance issues will happen.

We will move fast and patch frequently. It's hard to do that in a way that is bug free and perfectly balanced. During the beta phase especially, we prefer to move quick and fix quick -- versus delaying the learning experiences that we know we will get when people try the new things we are testing.

Principle #8: Use data and stats religously to mine insights on player behavior.

We will read the forums and the Reddit and the user surveys religiously and shape a lot of the game around the feedback we see. But, sometimes, people have issues or experiences in the game that they can't really verbalize correctly. Being very focused on mining the right data to see what is and isn't working is very important.

Principle #9: Let people play with their friends.

If you are in our beta and playing regularly, we will setup systems to make sure you can get your friends into the beta.

Principle #10: Make money, but do so in a fair way that respects your community.

We are extremely strong believers that Free to Play is a fantastic business model for gaming. But it needs to be done in a fair way that isn't "Pay to Win." That's harder to achieve than you may think, and bear with us as we balance the game around that philosophy. But I think people that have been with us for a while know that we work hard to build fair systems for our players and hugely respect the experience of players that never pay us a dime.

Merci pour le topic, je l'attends un p'tit peu celui-là aussi.

Avec la config recommandée :

Recommended Specs:
OS Win 7/8/10 64 bit
Quad core Intel or AMD
4GB RAM
1GB Video RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 650+ or ATI Radeon 6950+

Note: Some PCs with lesser specs (including many Windows XP machines) will also work but may perform poorly at this stage of the beta. One of the goals of the beta is to optimize performance of Paladins for as many machines as possible before launch.

Les premières vagues d'invitations vont être envoyées dés demain le jour de la sortie de la beta ( les packs fondateurs offrant un accès direct à la beta ).

Il est toujours possible de s'inscrire à la beta ici http://www.paladins.com/#beta ( mais il faut attendre un peu, le site a un peu de mal de temps en temps ) et pour prendre un peu d'avance, le launcher pour installer le jeu http://hirez.http.internapcdn.net/hi...llPaladins.exe

[Simboubou]

Je m'était inscrit à celui là il y a quelque temps. Espérons que j'aurai plus de chance que sur OW :D

[Flipmode]

C'est un MOBA ? :eztroll:

[Simboubou]

Ça y ressemble déjà un peu plus vu que les héros évoluent pendant la partie avec ce système de cartes et qu'ils y a engins de sièges qui avancent.

[Ghargan]

Ca a l'air de pomper pas mal sur OW quand même

[Freddy Sirocco]

Ca a l'air de pomper pas mal sur OW quand même

L'histoire retiendra que Overwatch sera le Paladins de Blizzad

[eolan]

J'y ai accès. C'est marrant, mais pas très fin pour l'instant. Ça fait très "en cours de construction", les développeurs n'ont pas menti sur la beta réelle.

Les cartes sont identiques dans le concept aux talents de Heroes of the Storm, avec un côté aléatoire du au tirage, comme un CCG.

[Erkin_]

Tu as payé ou il y a déjà eu la distribution des clefs ?

[n0ra]

Tu as payé ou il y a déjà eu la distribution des clefs ?

Il y a des distributions un peu partout ( streaming, twitter, giveaways et la vague par mail qu'il y a eu ).

[Erkin_]

Bon... Ca commence comme Overwatch

[n0ra]

J'ai mon accès mais j'ai participé à différents giveaway, si j'en choppe une je te la file.

[Erkin_]

Merci !

J'ai voulu mettre en image mes relations avec les betas en ce moment :

[Flipmode]

Bon... Ca commence comme Overwatch

Les "meet ..." ça date pas d'overwatch.

[n0ra]

Premier arrivé, premier servi, vite : https://t.co/sYUIlvaPWf

[Jotaro]

Bonne surprise
En tout cas meilleure surprise que Battleborn sur le feeling général

Mais au final , pas sur que j accroche longtemps ...

[n0ra]

Erkin_ check tes MP. J'ai aussi deux clés supplémentaires pour ceux qui sont intéressés.

[Simboubou]

Moi j'ai pas eu de clef, si y'a du rab ça me tente.

[Basch]

Si n'importe qui a une clé en rab, je prend!..

merci d'avance au futur généreux!

[n0ra]

Check tes MP Basch

Mes clés sont parties, si j'en choppe d'autre je le ferais savoir

[Fenlabize]

Pareil, s'il y a une âme charitable ...

C'est quand même fou toutes ces bêta auquel on n'a pas accès malgré des heures (jours) passer sur leurs anciens jeux (et pas mal de frics au passage).

[Basch]

Merci nOra

[Erkin_]

Merci nOra.
Testé une partie vite fait, bordel il semble tourner d'enfer, 150 fps et aucune grosses chutes avec les réglages par défaut (tout au max sauf les ombres je crois).
Je propose de nous réunir dans le salon Overwatch pour jouer ensemble. Erkin sur le jeu pour m'ajouter en amis.

[Le Porte-Poisse]

Je prendrais bien une clé si clé il y a, avec un demi, s'il vous plaît garçon !

[Acteon]

Si quelqu'un a une clef en rab ?

[eolan]

Tant qu'on y est, si vous voulez d'un gobelin fou ou d'un chevalier prétentieux : Eolan, en jeu.

[Erkin_]

Bon j'ai trouvé ça bien fun. Mode de jeu original et simple à comprendre, bastons acharnées mais présence de réelles bases. Sur les différents personnages que j'ai testé, la majorité des armes n'étaient pas à hitscan, ça aussi c'est marrant.
Il y a 8 personnages au final, ils ont ajouté Bulk : http://paladins.gamepedia.com/Buck
D'ailleurs sur ce wiki on peut voir ce personnage qui n'est pas sur la beta (ou alors je l'ai loupé) : http://paladins.gamepedia.com/Evie
