Chapter 1463 The Last Straw that Crushes Ioi Players
This update announcement seems to have been issued on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but at that time Pei Qian was still at home and didn't go out to surf the Internet, so he didn't pay attention.
The content of the announcement is quite a lot, which can be roughly divided into three parts.
The first part is the Spring Festival activities.
Due to the rapid development of the domestic game market in recent years, many foreign game companies have also paid more and more attention to the domestic market, so the Spring Festival event has also begun to appear in more and more games.
The Chinese New Year event organized by ioi this time is quite good. It includes a set of Spring Festival-limited skins and a set of Valentine's Day-limited skins. There are also some messy activities during the Spring Festival that include login rewards and the like.
These two sets of skins are relatively well-made, and the activities can be regarded as conscience. This part should be impeccable.
The second part is routine version adjustments.
After all, it is a large version, and certain adjustments must be made to the balance. Otherwise, players would get tired of playing those powerful heroes all the time.
The weakening this time seems to be a regular weakening, weakening several heroes that were more popular in the previous World Championships. This point should be treated equally for domestic teams and foreign teams. After all, the previous ioi world championships mainly strengthened the heroes that foreign teams are good at, and now they have cut some back.
The enhanced heroes are unpopular heroes that are not commonly used by domestic and foreign teams.
Obviously, the finger company is also very entangled. How to cut and how to strengthen this hero is really a dilemma.
Continue to strengthen the heroes that foreign teams are good at? Cut the heroes that domestic teams are good at? Then the intention to target the FV team is too obvious. Is it because there are too many domestic players? Do you want to continue to add fuel to the fire?
But if we strengthen the heroes that the FV team is good at and cut down the heroes that foreign teams are good at, then foreign players will quit: Who won the World Championship before? The FV team has won the championship and continues to strengthen? Those who didn't win the championship are weakening instead? Are you sick?
There are no people inside or outside.
However, balance adjustments must be done, and it is impossible not to do so.
Therefore, it can only be treated equally. It's okay to chop off last year's strong heroes and strengthen the unpopular heroes that everyone doesn't like to use very much, right?
The third part is the champion skin of the FV team.
The reason why it was taken out alone, and not put together with the two sets of skins limited to the Spring Festival and Valentine's Day, is because Finger Company and Longyu Group are very open this time, and they have specially organized an exclusive event for the champion skin of the FV team.
This is obviously to please domestic players.
After the previous ioi World Championship ended, many players expressed their dissatisfaction, thinking that the FV team had suffered unfair treatment. In that case, Finger Company and Longyu Group, in order to take care of the emotions of foreign players, did not dare to act rashly. They could only work hard to make the champion skin well, hoping that the champion skin could restore some reputation and goodwill.
Now, the champion skin is finally made. Of course, it needs to be done in a big way, so that all domestic players who still insist on playing ioi can see their sincerity.
Pei Qian took a look at the announcement and couldn't help giving Fingers a thumbs up.
Yes, IQ is still quite online!
As far as this Spring Festival event is concerned, although it is not particularly eye-catching, there is no huge bonus item, but it is not considered a deduction, right?
It's okay to increase the number of active people during the Spring Festival, right?
"It's a pity that I can't see the data of ioi, but if you look at the feedback from online players, you should be able to know whether this event is a success."
"Even if you don't succeed, there's no reason to be scolded, right?"
Pei Qian randomly found an ioi forum to check the players' feedback on this Spring Festival event.
However, after seeing these posts, Pei Qian was dumbfounded.
"Hehehe, I know, it's still the same old way. Finger Company, it will always be this pissed, and it can never expect to bring any surprises to the players!"
"The hero that the FV team has worked so hard for a year and finally got cut. What the hell are you killing again? Is there something wrong? Really, what are you cutting for the FV team? You want to cut until they can't practice chant?"
"That is, you simply disqualified the FV team, and you just stated on the announcement, 'We don't allow any ICL team to win the finals championship'! Then the domestic teams entertained themselves in the domestic league For a moment, don't get involved in your World Championship, let other foreign teams compete for the championship!"
"Chop, chop, chop every time. Are you balancers for nothing? I can do it with this kind of balance. Anyway, I just pull a watch to see the winning percentage of the heroes in the professional game, and chop one by one in the front row. , It’s enough to strengthen the ones at the back one by one?”
"That's right, a balancer should combine game mechanics and hero characteristics to balance, learn from others GOG!"
"Sure enough, there is a reason why the ioi is not good, and it is not good in all aspects."
"Oh, don't mention it, look at the big head of the Spring Festival event, a set of skins limited to the Spring Festival, and a set of skins limited to Valentine's Day, it is clear that they want to continue to make money by taking this opportunity! It is the same as before, anyway, it is a different way to produce skins , Your game is so rotten, don’t you have a B number in your heart? Why don’t you leave this skin?”
"But this is not the most irritating one. The most irritating thing is the champion skin of the FV team! Obviously, the attitude of the FV team is very obvious. Such a rubbish company does not deserve the support of players!"
"Hey, look at GOG next door, it's another big annual reward! Just in time for the Chinese New Year, all kinds of red envelopes really don't need money, what is a down-to-earth operation activity? Sending out red envelopes during the Spring Festival is a down-to-earth operation activity! "
"Let's slip away, buy a set of FV team skins, ioi goodbye, I won't be nostalgic anymore!"
There are many similar posts.
In short, the entire forum is filled with a farewell atmosphere!
Pei Qian was dizzy.
what's the situation?
This New Year's event seems to be fine, why are everyone so excited? What went wrong?
After carefully studying the content of these posts, Pei Qian leaned back on his seat, seeming to understand a little bit.
If you only look at the content of this update, there is really no big problem. If this event is done by GOG, or other games with a better reputation, it will definitely get some praise.
At least, you won't be scolded.
But ioi is different. These activities that seem to be no problem have precisely stabbed the wounds of the players!
First of all, the release of Spring Festival-limited skins and Valentine's Day skins is completely a routine operation, and GOG has also released them. But the problem is that since the finger company partially lost the autonomy of ioi, Dayak Group has carried out such skin activities too many times in order to recover the cost as much as possible!
Although it is not a bad thing to have more skins, but if you focus on the skins, other updates will naturally decrease.
For a long time, ioi's game mechanism updates, balance updates, and new hero development plans all gave way to skins. Players are not stupid, they can see what this is for: to collect money!
It’s okay to collect money, but the content of the game has to be done well, right?
So, seeing that ioi is releasing skins again this time, the players don't have any desire to krypton at all, and they are directly classified as "ioi cheating krypton without a bottom line".
Can this still be a good thing?
Secondly, this routine balance update has caused public outrage.
It stands to reason that it is a normal behavior to kill a strong hero in the previous world championship, but the problem is that the FV team has been treated so much unfairly that all domestic players have lost their trust in the finger company in this matter. trust.
No matter what the finger company is doing, it looks like it is targeting the FV team!
This time, the FV team took a long time and spent a lot of effort to train these powerful heroes and stand on the same level as other foreign teams. As a result, the finger company was cut off with one knife. What?
The key is to strengthen the hero, and it is not the hero that the FV team is good at, which makes people feel very targeted.
Players don't care what other foreign companies think, but judging from how the FV team is treated, it really makes people angry.
Many people couldn't help but wonder, if SUG or some other foreign team won the championship instead of FV, would Fingers still be so anxious to kill those strong heroes?
Once this kind of speculation arises, it will be difficult to end it.
Again, the comparison between ioi and GOG activities made the players of ioi worry again.
The Spring Festival event on GOG is called "New Year Red Envelopes of Agents", with a total value of 10 million red envelopes, and all players will share their luck in the game!
It's luck, not hand speed, and the accounts logged in on the first day of the new year will be divided up together.
There are a total of 5 million red envelopes, the lowest amount of red envelopes is 0.88, and the highest is a certain number of 888 red envelopes.
As for who can get these 888 red envelopes, it depends on luck.
Of course, according to Tenda's consistent lottery rules, similar activities have certain requirements for activity, in order to prevent scalpers. The higher the player's weight in the game, the luck will be improved accordingly.
The key is this money, players can even choose to withdraw it directly!
If you do not withdraw cash, you can also choose to multiply the money by ten to turn it into a coupon for skin purchases, and it supports deduction.
To put it simply, if you get a red envelope of 0.88 yuan, you can redeem a 8 yuan 8 coupon, which can be used to buy any skin.
If you get a 188 red envelope, you will be exchanged for a 1880 coupon. This coupon can be used multiple times. For example, if you buy a skin that costs only 10 yuan, you will be given a skin and a 1870 coupons until the entire coupon is consumed.
Considering the selling price of Tenda skins, those lucky ones who won the 888 red envelopes, if they don’t withdraw cash but redeem coupons, may be enough to buy all GOG’s skins in the next year.
Even if you don't even get the 0.88 red envelope, there will be a sunny coupon as consolation.
One is to produce new year skins to make money, and the other is to distribute money in red envelopes during the new year. This is simply a judgment.
Which game is more popular, isn't it obvious?
Finally, the champion skin of the FV team became the last straw that crushed ioi players!
