Synthesis 不會加入核心 - 流亡黯道

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/bjmndc/an_update_from_chris/

Synthesis was more work than we expected. It was developed over the Christmas
holiday, and its gameplay prototype came in very late. We didn't have a lot
of time to iterate on it before release or to make drastic changes that it
potentially needed. While our improvements after its launch have helped a lot
and many players are enjoying it, we fully acknowledge that it is not our
best league and is not up to the quality standards that Path of Exile players
should expect from us. It will not be merged into the core game in 3.7.0.
Maybe we can do something with it in the future, but we have no current plans.

夢遺聯盟比我們想像的更費工。去年聖誕節，我們發展了這個想法，很晚才開發出最早期
的遊戲內容，釋出之前也沒有太多時間反覆測試或者進行該聯盟機制可能需要的大改動。
雖然，聯盟正式推出之後的改善確實有用，許多玩家也很享受，但我們非常清楚，這個聯
盟絕對不是最好的，也不符合 POE 玩家對我們的期待標準。所以，這個聯盟不會在
3.7.0 時加入核心遊戲。也許以後會有些改變，但目前為止沒有計畫。

好了，沒有跟到死詞，沒有靠賽洗中鞋子或弓的朋友，要靠賽就趁這波 ^_^

我已經貸款買了十張年底去紐西蘭參加展懶的門票，版友要一起去嗎？


[Edit] 大家的反應我都看到了，希望大家可以根值臺灣，心懷紐西蘭，征服宇宙。

早上把整篇文章看完之後，覺得這段很好：

A big topic in the gaming industry recently is development crunch. Some
studios make their teams work 14 hour days to pack every patch full of the
most fixes and improvements possible. Sometimes when we read our own Patch
Notes threads and community feedback, we feel that we are being asked to do
the same. I will not run this company that way. While there's inevitably a
bit of optional paid overtime near league releases, the vast majority of a
Path of Exile development cycle has great work/life balance. This is
necessary to keep our developers happy and healthy for the long-term, but it
does mean that some game improvements will take a while to be made.

在遊戲開發產業裡，近來的一個重要主題是「開發難題」（Development crunch）。
有些工作室讓員工一天工作十四個小時，才能夠在每一次的更新檔案中，竭盡所能地
改善大多數的議題。有時候，閱讀官網的 Patch Note 討論串或社群玩家的反應，我們
會認為玩家社群也要求我們做到同樣的付出。但我不會用這種方式經營 GGG。快要推出
新聯盟之前，公司勢必要支付一點加班費，讓員工超時工作，但 POE 泰半的開發過程都
保持良好的工作生活平衡。這是讓開發人員長期保持快樂和健康的必要元素，同時也代表
遊戲中的一些改善措施必須等待一段時間。

雖然我們可以大喊：「ㄟㄟㄟ我有買贊助包，你們也有騰訊的資金了」，
但願意在風頭上還想要保護員工（勞工）權益的總裁已經沒幾個了，
光是這點就蠻值得支持的。
