Chapter 306 Lilith's Modification Suggestions

Gu Fan coughed twice: "Well, these designs are very good. The next step is to make a specific plan for the upgrade effects of these special abilities according to President Li's requirements.

"Let me make a simple sample, taking the most direct fire element as an example.

"The effect of the fire element is to create fire bombs, which can cause direct damage to monsters, right?

"Then the modification of this function is very simple: as the game progresses, players can upgrade this ability. At the same time, the health and resistance of monsters in the game will also be greatly improved.

"However, no matter how the player upgrades, the damage of the fire bomb will only increase slightly. That is, the later the game is, the more this bomb will be scraped, and even in the end, except for the visual effect, it can hardly cause any damage to the monster."

After speaking, he looked at Lilith: "President Li, is this idea okay?"

Lilith nodded happily: "No problem! Just follow this design!"

Obviously, this one is very consistent with the concept of "taking away what has been given to the player".

Originally, players have been accustomed to using powerful fire bombs to quickly eliminate large-scale enemies, or to turn danger into safety in some dangerous situations.

They even went to do tasks and collect materials to upgrade it with great expectations.

However, players soon discovered that no matter how the bomb was upgraded, the damage was getting lower and lower!

Of course, the so-called lower and lower here is the subjective feeling of the players. In fact, the lethality of the bomb has indeed increased slightly, and the damage to the primary monsters in the birthplace is also higher.

But the problem is that its upgrade speed is far less than the monster's attribute improvement speed, so it makes players feel that this thing is getting more and more difficult to use.

Gu Fan looked at Wei Chengjie: "Then next, you follow this idea and redesign the other elemental abilities."

Wei Chengjie was simply stunned, but seeing Mr. Gu's serious look, he had to rack his brains to start designing.

"So, the earth element is to burrow underground or pass through walls. In this case, a large number of non-land levels will be arranged in the later stages of the game? For example, the entire level is made of water or metal objects, so players will find that the walls that can be passed through at will in the early stage cannot be passed through in the later stages?

"The wind element can grab objects or increase thrust, so in the later stages of the game, there is no wind in the space at all? So it is impossible to use the power of wind element?

"As for water element, it can be used as adhesive to glue specific props, or to enlarge certain props and produce special effects, but then the water in the scene becomes less and less, or the properties of the glued props become weaker?

"I haven't thought of a good solution for the time element yet, but since the original function is time stagnation, then after the upgrade, the time of time stagnation will become shorter and shorter, and even after the time stop, the monster will get an acceleration effect?"

Wei Chengjie thought about it casually, and felt that this method would be scolded by players.

However, General Li was obviously not satisfied with it.

"Well... Although it feels like it meets the design goals, it is too homogenized!

"Earth element, wind element, water element, are all getting less and less in the end? Then there is nothing left in this space, only fire and metal!

"I think I still have to think of more tricks, otherwise the players will be unhappy. "

Wei Chengjie almost vomited blood. Good man, you mean that you can't always use the same method to abuse players, but you have to change the way to abuse them, right?

Lilith continued: "I think the wind element is directly the opposite. It's not that there is no wind in the space behind, but there is too much wind!

"There are wind elements that players cannot control in a large number of scenes, so when players want to use the superpowers of wind elements, they can't control them, but will be carried away.

"Water elements can be used as adhesives, but the props obtained later are special props. Once glued, they will break directly!

"As for the earth element, I think traps can be added in the soil. For example, when players want to use earth walking to pass through a wall or a platform, they suddenly find that there is a man-eating monster hidden in it!

"Then once he gets in, he will be eaten immediately, resulting in game over.

"This way, it is obviously more appropriate!"

Wei Chengjie was silent. President Li actually thought so. One way to abuse players is not enough, and there are more tricks?

He looked at Gu Fan, thinking that President Gu should take action, right? Take care of her, the investors are lawless!

However, Gu Fan nodded: "Well, good, this design of President Li is very good!

"However, although there are generally no problems, I still have a small suggestion.

"For example, the water element.

"The water element can be used as an adhesive to bond props, but if it breaks directly after bonding, it is a bit too simple and crude. This will make players suspect that we did it on purpose, and will not reflect on our own problems. This approach is not very smooth after all.

"I think it can be designed like this: although the water element can be used as an adhesive, the later the equipment and props, the higher the quality. Since the quality is high, we need more adhesive to bond them together, so the total weight of the bonded objects will also increase exponentially.

“For example, originally there were two props with a gravity of 1, and players could easily pick them up. In the early stage, after gluing them together, the gravity was 1+1+1, and only 1 adhesive was needed, and the total weight was 3, which was acceptable for players to pick up.

“But in the later stage, because the gravity of the two objects was 3, 5 adhesives were needed to glue them together, and the total weight was 3+3+5, which suddenly became a total weight of 11, and players could not lift them.

“The weight of these props can be intuitively displayed in the player's character performance.

“For example, when the player takes an overweight object, the game character must hold the object tightly with both hands, the movement speed becomes slow, and when using weapons to attack, the forward and backward swings will also become particularly long.

"In this way, although it creates obstacles for players, it is indeed created openly through the game mechanism. Even if players are angry, they have nowhere to vent."

Lilith's eyes lit up: "Huh? This sounds good, okay, let's do it this way!"

After saying that, she looked at Wei Chengjie: "Why are you standing there? Write it down!"

Wei Chengjie nodded quickly: "Oh!"

He brought a notebook with him, and at this time he wrote quickly, quickly recording the key points that General Manager Gu and General Manager Li had said.
