and I want to introduce an exciting new feature called “Spawning.”

我想介紹一個有趣的新功能，也就是「死黨」

Have you ever wanted to simply play StarCraft with a friend

你曾經想和朋友一起玩《星海爭霸II》

Or, maybe you’re a Starter Edition user

或者，你是個新手入門版的玩家

and simply want to find out how you can get more out of the game

那麼，「死黨」再適合你不過了

Those who don’t own StarCraft II will want to try out Starter Edition.

還沒購買《星海爭霸II》的人，可以從新手入門版開始

and is available to anyone who has a Battle.net account.

只要擁有Battle.net帳號就能進行遊戲

只要從你的Battle.net帳號管理頁面

from your Battle.net account management page.

下載並安裝《星海爭霸II》就行了

If you’d like more details about Starter Edition

如果你想知道新手入門版的進一步細節

before continuing on with the one you’re watching now.

好，現在我們來談談「死黨」吧

In short, Spawning is an easy way to allow someone with a full copy of StarCraft II

簡單來說，「死黨」可以讓擁有《星海爭霸II》完整版的人

to share their game with a friend for free.

Blizzard即時戰略的老玩家可能還有印象

當年《魔獸爭霸II》和《星海爭霸》盛行的時候

back in the hay-days of Warcraft II and StarCraft

以前你只要有一套正版遊戲光碟

Back then, as long as you had a copy of the retail game disc

you could bring others in to play with you

這是個向朋友推薦遊戲的絕妙辦法

It was an awesome way to introduce friends to these games

Well. . . we’re excited because today we add to this tradition

把這個功能加進《星海爭霸II》

by bringing this functionality to StarCraft II

only without the need for all the disc drives..

If you currently own a copy of Heart of the Swarm

就能用「死黨」功能讓新手入門版

you can now “spawn” up any player who is either playing from Starter Edition

或「自由之翼」的玩家體驗最新的內容

and give them access to the newest expansion.

基本上，這功能跟使用新手入門版的過程很像

但是多了額外的多人連線模式和功能

Essentially, the experience is a lot like that of a normal Starter Edition user

but with multiplayer modes and options added in.

所有的A.I.對抗模式都解鎖了，包括團隊模式

Here’s a quick summary of these additions:

透過「死黨」升級的玩家可以進行

All vs. AI modes are unlocked, including team games.

Spawned players have access to the Unranked

最後，他們還可以遊玩全部的Arcade內容

You also have complete access to all Custom Game maps.

所以「死黨」到底是怎麼運作的呢？

And finally, they have complete access to the Arcade.

Well, that’s actually one of the best parts.

只要你和擁有完整版遊戲的朋友組隊就行了

All of this content is available for free simply by

partying up with a friend who owns a full version of the game.

Here you can see the screen of my friend Spyrian

will be playing the part of our Starter Edition user.

他已經從自己的Battle.net帳號下載了《星海爭霸II》

Spyrian has downloaded Starter Edition from his Battle.net account

你可以看到，我和Spyrian在Battle.net上已經是好友了

and we are now logged in on StarCraft II  at the same time.

你可以透過好友名單裡的「新增好友」功能

As you can see, Spyrian and I are connected as friends over Battle.net.

You can easily do this by using the “Add Friend” feature

and invite Spyrian to party up with me in game.

that the UI shows his account level as being raised to

現在，Spyrian和我可以盡情體驗各種遊戲模式

At this point, Spyrian and I can move through the various modes

and game options to play in whatever way we like.

而且和Battle.net上的其他玩家對戰

We can even hop on to the Unranked or Ranked ladders

and play against other people on Battle.net.

As long as Spyrian remains in the party with me,

他的權限就會自動回到原本的新手入門版

he will be able to play with me at my access level.

Then, whenever he decides it is time to leave the party,

有些功能是透過「死黨」升級的玩家不能使用的

he will simply return to his Starter Edition access level naturally.

There are a few features unavailable to Spawned players

These features include access to the single-player campaign,

the full experience of social features like clans and groups,

透過「死黨」升級的玩家只能使用

as well as the ability to choose which race you want to play.

這段影片錄製時可使用的種族為人類

如果你體驗過「死黨」功能後，想升級成完整版的遊戲

to the currently active Starter Edition race,

which, at the time this video was recorded, is set to Terran.

If you’re a Spawned player and want the full game,

只要使用Battle.net網頁的帳號管理功能

you can use the upgrade button found here.

There is no need to download any additional version of the game.

再重新登入《星海爭霸II》就可以了

以上大致是「死黨」功能的全貌

using Battle.net Account Management on the web

以下是「死黨」功能的額外要素：

That’s pretty much Spawning in a nutshell:

也包括「自由之翼」版本的《星海爭霸II》

如果你想和朋友共享《星海爭霸II：自由之翼》

你可以利用上述的方法把他們加入「死黨」

Here are a couple of other things to keep in mind about this feature:

要注意的是，遊戲內容和平衡度

會以「自由之翼」版本的《星海爭霸II》為基準

who own Wings of Liberty versions of StarCraft II.

你可以用「死黨」功能升級好幾個朋友

If you would like to share StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty with a friend,

you can spawn them up in the same way we’ve mentioned in this walkthrough,
