《Dota2》收费模式公布 商城出售英雄皮肤

【17173专稿，未经授权请勿转载】

今天，Valve公司正式公布竞技类网游《Dota2》的收费模式，未来《Dota2》的全部英雄将全部免费开放，而官方将在游戏商城出售不同英雄的皮肤，供玩家选购。

Valve公司称，《Dota2》不是一款花钱就能赢（pay-to-win game）的游戏，所以未来商城里所有商品的功能都将以装饰为主，不会对游戏的平衡产生任何现实影响。

与近期国内非常火热的竞技类网游《英雄联盟》不同的是，《Dota2》的所有英雄都将是同时免费开放，Valve说：“限制玩家使用所有英雄可能是破坏平衡的设计，所以我们将避免此事发生。（We believe restricting player access to heroes could be destructive to game design, so it’s something we plan to avoid.）”据悉在《英雄联盟》中，英雄必须通过游戏金币或点卷购买，游戏每周将随机开放一批免费英雄供玩家选择试玩。（文/17173 北海）

关于《Dota2》：

《Dota2》的前作《Dota》为基于暴雪公司游戏《魔兽争霸》的一张RPG地图，全名为《Defense of the Ancients（远古遗迹守护者）》。后美国Valve公司注册了该商标并招募了该RPG地图的主创人员，开始将该地图开发成为一款独立的游戏产品。近两年时间来，暴雪公司与Valve公司也就此商标权进行了多次诉讼，最终Valve公司胜出。

以下是Valve公司的公告全文：

Today we’re announcing that Dota 2 will be free to play, and contain an in-game store where you’ll be able to buy fancy gear to customize your heroes. From the forum threads we’ve read over the months since The International, it’s pretty clear that this won’t come as much of a surprise to anyone out there. There are a variety of smaller details that we’ve decided to put together a FAQ to help with, but we wanted to address the two most common concerns right away:

Dota 2 will not be a pay-to-win game. All the items in the store are cosmetic, and don’t affect gameplay.

All of the heroes will be available free of charge. We believe restricting player access to heroes could be destructive to game design, so it’s something we plan to avoid.

We’re really excited about this. As we’ve explored cosmetic customization for heroes, we’ve been finding that we can use it to broaden our lore, and expand on the characters. We’ve received a lot of positive responses to the unique hero voices in the game, and the window they give you into each hero’s personality. We think this will be another avenue where we can expand in that direction. Here you can see some examples:

As mentioned above, we’ve put together a FAQ that covers concerns we’ve seen out in the community, and our plans for addressing them, and you can check that out here. As always, take a look and send us your thoughts. If we’ve missed anything, make sure to let us know.

Dota’s always been a game where the community has had an extremely active role in driving it forward, from the huge amount of feedback that Icefrog receives to the number of suggestions posted in the hero ideas forums. We wanted to make sure that Dota 2 expands on that community interaction even further, to the point where players can directly contribute to the game itself.

So today we’re also announcing that Dota 2 is now part of the Steam Workshop. If you’re not familiar with the Steam Workshop, it’s a place where fans can upload content they’ve created for a game, and other players can vote and comment on it. The development team then takes those uploads and releases them as official parts of the game itself, and the original fan creator gets a slice of the sales from the in-game store. In the first year alone over 3.5 million dollars was paid out to TF2 fans who’s creations are now a permanent part of the game.

If you’re a Dota 2 fan with some artistic skills, here’s your chance to get in on the ground floor of what’s sure to be a vibrant community for years to come, and be able to contribute directly to the game you’re already playing non-stop. If you’re still working on your art skills, you can still contribute massively by looking over the submissions as they arrive, and giving the thumbs up to ones that you’d like to see in your games.
