Chapter 280 The Chronic Disease of "Shadow World"
At night, in the haunted house of Purgatory.
Lilith stared at Qin Fengliang, who had a serious expression and a very serious attitude.
"Boss Li, I swear to the lamp that there is absolutely no problem with my suggestion this time!
"Unless..."
Her voice gradually became lower: "Unless some special circumstances occur. "
Seeing Qin Fengliang like this, Lilith was also a little angry.
How come such a good think tank is not working?
Qin Fengliang had given her two ideas before. The first time, he organized a speed-pass competition, and the second time, he hired a group of water army to race motorcycles in the game. The plans were good, but the actual execution results were completely terrible!
Although it did receive a small amount of negative emotions in the early stage, it was quickly doubled back, and even more players were attracted to the game, and contributed a lot of positive emotions!
If it weren't for Lilith knowing her inside out and trusting her enough, she would have directly dismissed the person in charge of her haunted house!
Of course, this was also angry words. After all, this haunted house is still contributing negative emotions. The failure of suggestions in other fields will not affect the business of the haunted house. Lilith doesn't need to be bothered with negative emotions that are safe.
"Okay, then tell me what to do this time.
"I will listen selectively."
Lilith was obviously a little discouraged, and she didn't have the excitement she had when she listened to Qin Fengliang's suggestions twice before.
Obviously, Lilith still has no doubts about Qin Fengliang's loyalty, but she really no longer trusts her ability. This time, she must not listen to it without thinking. For some unreliable suggestions, Lilith will consider not implementing them directly.
After all, the situation of "Shadow World" is already very bad at this time, and it can't get worse.
After the players discovered the "full-professional mode", "Shadow World" continued to generate positive emotions among the full-level players and core players, and the growth rate was quite terrifying.
However, for Lilith, things are not so bad. The game currently produces more negative emotions.
This is thanks to the design before the full level.
Because of the existence of the "full-professional mode" after the full level, more new players are attracted to play, but the difficulty of leveling and the difficulty of low-level dungeons are still real and unchanged.
Although there are some full-level accounts that have enabled the "full-professional mode" to bring small accounts, this group of people is very limited after all, and they also have to study BD, pioneering group dungeons, etc.
Most small accounts can only be self-reliant.
In the process of self-reliant, negative emotions are still generated continuously.
Of course, the negative emotions currently received are far less than Lilith expected. If there is any way to slightly reverse and increase the negative emotions, Lilith will not refuse it.
Qin Fengliang opened a web page on the computer: "Boss Li, I saw Shengjing Group's "Star Spirit World". Today, a new version update notice was released during the day, saying that a new "Boundless Mode" test server will be updated.
"You know about this, right?"
Lilith nodded: "Yes, I know. ”
This is quite outrageous.
Many players thought that these popular MMORPG games would take advantage of the popularity of the full-professional gameplay of "Shadow World", but no one expected it to come so quickly.
Speed is of the essence, and Shengjing Group is obviously the first to start.
They directly announced on the official website and login of "Protoss World" that they are developing a new version of the "Boundless Mode" test server, and it is expected to meet players within two months.
As soon as this announcement came out, it caused quite a stir.
Many players were stunned. Wow, this is the first time I have seen someone copying others so high-profile!
Any player who surfs the Internet can see at a glance that this so-called boundless mode is a copy of the full-professional gameplay of "Shadow World".
But the problem is that the law does not protect the gameplay.
Shengjing Group uses its own "Protoss World" to make such a full-skill, full-talent self-selection game. The model itself is legal and compliant. Although it has gained popularity, it cannot be criticized too much.
In addition to "Star World", most of the other popular MMORPG games in China are also in the works.
It is possible that they are still discussing whether to follow up internally, or they may have been in the initial planning and design.
But none of them are as fast as "Star World". The development of this version has not even started yet, but the news was released first.
However, from the perspective of Shengjing Group, it is understandable. Only by announcing it at this time can they gain a lot of attention in the first place and continue to build momentum for themselves.
On the Internet, players' attention is limited, and everyone wants to grab the heat. They are all copying "Shadow World". If they copy it early, they can make a lot of money, but if they copy it late, they can't even drink the soup.
Speaking of this, Lilith was a little angry, and she angrily hammered the armrest of the seat.
"This Shengjing Group is really abominable! This kind of interference has increased the attention of "Shadow World"! ”
For players, Shengjing Group is a big company after all. Although its reputation is average, it is still a bit difficult to bear that one of its old games that has been operating for four years has copied the gameplay of Against Heaven so ostentatiously.
While Shengjing Group hypes up its own games, it must have inevitably brought some popularity to Against Heaven.
After all, this behavior of Shengjing Group also proves from the side how fun the original all-professional gameplay of "Shadow World" is.
Qin Fengliang shook his head slightly: "No, Mr. Li, you are wrong!
"This behavior of Shengjing Group is actually of great help to us. Not only should we not be angry, but we should also thank him!
"If necessary, we should even encourage them!"
Lilith was a little confused: "Huh? Add fuel to the fire for them? If you can persuade the players to quit and let them play Shengjing Group's games, that would be okay, but the players are playing well, why should they change the game?
"Our game cannot be modified!"
Qin Fengliang nodded happily: "Mr. Li, isn't this a good thing?
"Think about it, what is the all-professional gameplay of "Shadow World" based on? It's based on BUG!
“So, this all-professional gameplay still has many loopholes and is not perfect.
"For example, when learning other professional skills, you have to go to the trainer to learn; there is no way to directly see all the skills and talents on one page, and you have to record them. What's more, this mode has not been implemented Without special balancing, imbalances in different structures will inevitably occur. It will not be possible to update more structures in the future, and it will become boring after players have figured it out...
“Aren’t these all problems that exist in “Shadow World”?
"And these problems cannot be solved after all, after all, "Shadow World" cannot be updated.
"But Shengjing Group's "World of Protoss" does not have this problem. They can update it at any time, not only optimizing functions and balancing various constructions, but also continuously introducing new gameplay.
"Once players have played the optimized version of "World of Protoss", they will definitely feel uncomfortable coming back to play "World of Shadows".
“In this way, won’t negative emotions continue to arise?
"So, we should not only add fuel to the flames and help promote it, but we can even go a little more extreme and send discounts to our players to encourage them to play "World of Protoss"!"
Lilith was stunned for a moment after hearing these words.
She was silent for a long time, her brain almost not turning around.
But after thinking about it, I suddenly felt that it really made sense.
Especially the issue of "balance" is indeed the crux!
If according to the original plan, "Shadow World" does not have this kind of "full-time gameplay" bug, then the balance can be regarded as barely solved.
Because according to the original design, the skills and talents of each profession are fixed, and these have been balanced, so there will be no particularly strong professions.
But now, after players can choose their own skills and BD, they will inevitably gradually find two or three optimal solutions. Even numerically speaking, it is very likely that there will be a single optimal solution.
After all, a consensus can be generally formed on which talent bonus points have the highest bonus, which skills have the highest priority, and are most practical in group play or PVP.
If we divide them according to the positioning of tanks, output, and healers, then the original many professions are likely to be solidified into a few specific BDs (constructs).
That is to say, there will be a problem of rigid routines.
Can other BDs be played? Yes, but most of them don't have the intensity and can only entertain themselves.
