现在让我告诉你战报的制作流程吧。
1)我们要找一场比较好的比赛。这将花费我们几个小时的时间甚至一到两个星期。这个取决于我们的运气好坏了。我们没有几千人在玩,我们才仅仅有几个技术还过得去的人。而且他们还有别的事情要做,他们不会7天24小时都是在玩的。
2)我们还要安排时间来解说。在进入录音室之前,又会花费我们几天或者一个星期。我们的录音师也很忙。
3)我们还要将游戏的的录像转为视频格式。这需要几个小时,如果中途出现什么问题,那么这个过程就要花费更多时间。当然做这个工作的人还有别的事要忙,因此要等他有时间才能做视频转换的工作。
4)视频要经过压缩,做这项工作的人很忙的。虽然压缩的时间不需要很多,但是要等一到两天,直到他们忙完自己要紧的事。
5)一旦视频弄好之后,我们就到录音室里面为视频解说,然后这些录影要经过编辑再加入到视频中。(这需要一到两天的时间)
6)然后翻译们要工作了。他们要将这些文字内容翻译给那些不是英语地区的玩家们。这个需要他们一段时间来完成这项工作。
7)然后负责网络的工作的人将所有的东西都设置好,然后就可以网上播放了。
所以,要完成全部的工作要一段不短的时间。而在这个过程中,我们同时还要忙游戏开发的事。当我们要完成一些很重要的工作的时候(例如beta测试),整个战报的制作工作就要停顿下来。这就是为什么你们不能经常拿到战报的原因。制作战报不是我们工作的重心,你们能看到的这些很cool的东西,是我们有空的时候挤出时间做的。我发誓,我们没有藏着战报不给大家看.=)

Here's how it works.
1) We find a good game. This may take hours or it may take a week or two. Depends on how lucky we get. We don't have thousands playing the game, just a few guys who are skilled enough, and they have other things they are doing, they aren't just playing 24/7.
2) We schedule time to record the voice-over. This may take days or a week before we can get into the booth. Our sound guys are busy.
3) We capture the game footage from a replay into a movie format. This takes a few hours. If any mistakes occur it takes longer. The guy who does this has another job of course, so he gets to it when he can.
4) The footage gets compressed. The people who do that are busy. It takes them a short time to do, but it may be a day or two before they get to it.
5) Once we have the footage, we go into the sound booth, we do the voice-over, then the voice gets edited and put back into the movie (a day or two).
6) Then the translators get involved and we do the text summaries for our non-English-speaking fans. That takes a couple of days once they get to it.
7) Then the web guys set everything up and it finally goes live.
So the whole thing takes a while. And in the middle of that we are all working on the actual game. When we are working towards something important (Beta) this whole battle-report thing takes a back seat. That's why you don't get them as often as we would all like. It's not something we are working on all the time. It's something various departments do after hours so you guys can see some cool stuff.We aren't "withholding" battle reports to be mean. I swear. =)
