New MMORPG to replace WoW in China, disappointed fans because the trailer sounds like translated with Google

earthpressnews

As is already known, World of Warcraft has been withdrawn from the Chinese market due to differences between NetEase and Blizzard. Tencent, one of the major publishers in China, has made it its task to close the resulting vacuum with its own MMORPG Tarisland. Tencent has now published a story teaser on this.

What does the story teaser show? The story teaser is the Tarisland Worldview Trailer. Moving pictures are shown, which classify the story of the MMORPG by means of a narrator and provide us with the first bits of the story.

A gloomy world is thus prophesied, complete with fire and brimstone raining down from the sky. In addition, entire planets are shown being devoured by a universal force. This is garnished by a narrator, albeit perhaps overly motivated, who propagates a less than hopeful future to the world. Finally, the trailer promises a closed beta test.

Take a look at the Tarisland story teaser for yourself:

In detail, between all the lovingly animated images, there are individual sentences from the speaker that look like something straight out of Google translator. For example, it says:

  • “Plague, hate, war and death; Come as I now decree!’
  • “The doom looms in sight… there’s no escape.”)

    • How are the fans reacting? The fans are open to the idea and consider the visual representation to be successful. However, there is one detail that was not well received. It’s about the narrator’s voice. This seems to choose some strange formulations, as some users comment on at massivelyop.com (via massivelyop.com):

  • User Leo: I wonder if they just ran their script through a translation program and said yes, that’s good enough
  • User John Lind IV: Lousy dialogue = Another reason to throw this in the fire and never look back. Why? If a company can’t even find the time to find someone fluent in both languages ​​to do their translations for a trailer, why would I think they’d be better off doing it in other areas of the game.

    • In fact, some of the wording seems strange to me. However, whether this should be a reason to write off the upcoming MMORPG directly remains to be seen. The fact is that some players want more quality when it comes to things like this. It is to be hoped that Tencent will take the feedback to heart before Tarisland is released.

    What kind of game is this? Tarisland is an MMORPG developed by Tencent, a Chinese game developer. It should be released globally this year and be an answer to the now missing WoW in China. According to a press release (via mmorpg.com), the developer describes his game as a giant sandbox MMORPG.

    In detail, Tencent (via tarisglobal.com) promises the following features for release:

  • 9 fully customizable classes
  • No Pay2Win
  • A seasonal system
  • A varied class and talent choice
  • Raids that span multiple stages
  • free trading system
  • Cross platform for PC and mobile
