Chapter 517 Is Qualifying 1 a Good Mode?

In the period after the year, Chen Mo's update speed of "Overwatch" has slowed down significantly. Although new heroes and new maps are being released step by step, the delay in opening the ranked mode has caused some players' complaints. dissatisfied.

Although there are various other modes for players to choose from, and the number of active players and various statistics of "Overwatch" are steadily increasing, but there is no qualifying game, after all, it is a big shortcoming.

In this case, the emergence of "Gun and Fire" will definitely poach a group of core players who are keen on the competitive mode from "Overwatch". For Emperor Mutual Entertainment, this should be the best start. opportunity.

In the overwhelming publicity, "Gunfire" instantly attracted the attention of a large number of players, even overshadowing the Switch and "Super Mario Odyssey" in terms of momentum.

This is not to say that the handheld and Odyssey are not good. On the one hand, it is because of the market environment that VR games are more likely to gain the attention of players; on the other hand, it is also because Di Dynasty Interactive Entertainment is very willing to spend money on promotion and spends a lot of publicity funds. After going down, it is easy to create an illusion that this game is very popular now.

On the official promotional page of "Gun and Fire", a slogan caused quite a stir.

"An FPS game that can release skills, the qualifying mode is fully open, waiting for you to reach the top of the gods!"

Obviously, this sentence is a naked hint that I am a game similar to "Overwatch", but I have a ranked mode!

Obviously, such propaganda will inevitably get a lot of scolding from the players of "Overwatch", but if you are afraid of being scolded, Emperor Dynasty Interactive Entertainment will not be Emperor Dynasty Interactive Entertainment.

This kind of scolding will not affect the attitude of Di Dynasty Interactive Entertainment players and melon eaters towards this game, and it will just make the loyal players of "Overwatch" feel disgusted.

The two games were originally a life-and-death competition, so what if you scolded it a few times?

This slogan has indeed played a good role in publicity. Some of the great gods who have been waiting for a long time to come to the qualifying mode have all become active, and want to go to "Gun and Fire" to abuse vegetables and rush to the ladder. At that time, it's good to pretend to be coercive or something.

On the official forum of "Overwatch", there have also been a large number of questioning posts.

"Why doesn't Chen Mo open the qualifying mode? Is it because he has been busy with handhelds and new games recently, so he forgot "Overwatch"?"

"I don't understand, "Overwatch" just recently updated a new hero and a new map,

Obviously there are people, but why is the priority of qualifying so low? "

"Yeah, a lot of people have gone to play "Gun and Fire" because of the qualifying event. Chen Mo shouldn't be so late!"

"Look at the "League of Legends" next door, all kinds of events are in full swing, when will "Overwatch" be like this?"

Some Overwatch players are a little disappointed. In their opinion, what Chen Mo is making now is simply a low-level mistake. It can be solved by going out of the qualifying mode tomorrow. How can it be delayed until now?

For these suggestions, Chen Mo remained silent, did not say a word, and did not respond.

...

The headquarters of Emperor Dynasty Interactive Entertainment.

Jin Jieguang happily took a piece of data and came to Lin Chaoxu's office.

"Mr. Lin, this is the online data of "Gun and Fire", please take a look."

Lin Chaoxu took it over and read it two or three times, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, yes, the follow-up is also good, much better than "The Cataclysm of the Ancients"."

Jin Jieguang couldn't help smiling and said: "Also, Mr. Lin, there are a few statistics that you can pay special attention to. Compared with "Overwatch", "Gun Fire" has the core player's online time and core player satisfaction. There are obvious advantages in other aspects, obviously, this is all benefiting from the qualifying mode."

Lin Chaoxu nodded: "Yes, as we expected."

This time, "Gun and Fire" was launched. Like many people in the "Gun and Fire" project, Jin Jieguang was worried, for fear of a tragedy like "Ancient Catastrophe".

"The Cataclysm of the Ancients" got off to a good start at the beginning, but a large-scale cliff-like data drop suddenly occurred in the early stage, and even no matter how rescued it was, it couldn't be rescued.

However, so far, "Gun and Fire" has developed very well. Although it is still far from the level of "Overwatch", Lin Chaoxu firmly believes that at least this game will not die like "Ancient Cataclysm"!

...

in a world class classroom.

This time, more students came to listen to Chen Mo's elective courses, even more than in the first class. Many people had already stood in the corridor, just to look at Chen Mo.

After the unprecedented success of the Switch and Odyssey, many people's perceptions have been completely reversed.

Those who questioned Chen Mo before were all convinced. Chen Mo said that if he made a handheld computer, he would be a handheld computer. Not only did he make it, but it also sold so well, which subverted everyone's common sense.

Indeed, listening to Chen Mo's lectures gives the feeling of witnessing history. Regarding the handheld, Chen Mo just made a simple little prediction, and it actually has a tendency to become a reality!

Today's class is still very smooth.

During recess, several students gathered around and asked questions one after another.

"Mr. Chen Mo, can you still buy a brand new Switch? I want to buy it."

"Is there any future development plans for new games on the Switch? It's not the games on the Thunder game platform, it's the ones you developed yourself!"

"Mr. Chen Mo, which team do you think is the strongest domestic "League of Legends" team? Is it NRG?"

Chen Mo also happened to chat with everyone and answer them one by one.

At this time, a classmate asked: "Mr. Chen Mo, Di Chao Interactive Entertainment's "Gun and Fire" copied "Overwatch", and the qualifying competition was held, so far the response seems to be quite good, "Overwatch" "Why not open the qualifying mode?"

Chen Mo didn't answer immediately, but instead asked: "Is qualifying a good game mode?"

The students in the front row were stunned.

Is not this nonsensical? Ranked mode is definitely a good mode!

From "Warcraft" to "League of Legends", you have proven it yourself!

There are so many advantages to qualifying, it can create long-term pursuits for players, subdivide player levels, and at the same time provide soil for future professional events.

If there is no qualifying mode, "League of Legends" is also difficult to develop into a professional competitive game.

With so many advantages, why did Chen Mo ask this question?

Chen Mo smiled: "There is no absolutely good thing in the world, and there is no absolutely good way to play in the game. At present, the games that have launched the qualifying mode are all developing very well, which gives everyone an illusion. , as if qualifying was a way to play without any side effects."

"But it's not."
