Chapter 562: The Significance of Strengthening Old Characters

Enhancing Qinglin will benefit players who have Qinglin now, or players who don't have Qinglin yet but may get Qinglin in the future.

But why are players dissatisfied?

Because they think that the enhancement of Qinglin has caused the originally powerful characters such as Lei Tu and Han Shuang to "explode gold coins".

Originally, everyone was playing well with Lei Tu and Han Shuang, but you suddenly enhanced Qinglin. Isn't this just asking everyone to draw Qinglin again?

Although the game experience has not changed, this comparison still makes many players feel unhappy.

Zhuge Jun continued to explain: "This is also the main reason why many manufacturers do not enhance characters or adjust the balance of the game.

"Because enhancing a certain character will make players feel that the character in their hands has been depleted of gold coins. And enhancing old characters is actually not good for game manufacturers.

"So their best practice is: no enhancement of old characters, and then the new characters are getting stronger and stronger, whether in terms of mechanism or value.

"Instead, players are used to this model.

"For players, it is reasonable to enhance new characters, and it is acceptable to explode old characters' gold coins, after all, old characters have been fun for a long time; but for manufacturers, only new characters can make players recharge, and enhancing old characters, many players already have them, becomes a free benefit and is criticized.

"So, other manufacturers do this.

"But here I want to ask, has it always been like this? Is it right? This seems to be a common choice of manufacturers and players, so what is the price? What is the price?

"The price is that those old characters that are obviously weak and have wrong mechanism design, no matter how good the personality is, how much they meet the player's XP, and how popular they are, will never get any chance to appear again.

"Because they are not strong enough, they are not worthy of eating at the table.

"The old characters you worked hard to extract are not worth keeping at all. It will 100% be exploded by new characters, and it will never be able to turn over.

"At first glance, this mechanism of Against Heaven is unreasonable and does not conform to the conventional routine of playing card drawing games.

"But think about it carefully: Qinglin can be enhanced, which means that other characters can also be enhanced.

"You didn't draw Xingying and Ningyun Zhenjun because of their strength, but it turns out that these two seemingly weak characters will become must-haves due to changes in the game mechanism.

"You drew Jieye, but soon the Hero exploded your gold coins. You are very unhappy, but think about it, maybe at some point in the future, Jieye will also be strengthened?

"The Hero is a purely free character. If Ni Tiantang is really for krypton, why bother to strengthen the Hero?

"Obviously, Ni Tiantang does not want to follow the routine of general card-drawing games, and does not want to play the spiral numerical game.

"Ni Tiantang is teaching you to play the game in a more rational and enjoyable way:

"First of all, you don't have to have any strength anxiety at all. Even if you don't draw any cards at all, you can pass the entire plot smoothly with just the two characters, Hero and Xiyun, which are given at the beginning.

"These two characters will continue to become stronger as the plot progresses. Not only will their numbers be improved, but new mechanisms will also be activated. Although they cannot be completely compared with the best five-star characters in the UP pool, their strength is enough and they have everything.

"Secondly, don't pay too much attention to the strength of the UP pool, because the strength changes dynamically!

"The strength measured now does not mean that it will continue to be strong in the next version; the weakness measured now may turn around in a month.

"So everyone should return to the origin and return to XP card drawing. Just draw the character you like when you see it, don't care about her strength.

"Finally, this design is more reasonable in terms of the plot.

"In other games, it is obviously the protagonist, but in the end it becomes a camera, only responsible for the plot, and disappears when fighting.

"Why? It's because all the star levels of the protagonist are given for free, and players will not recharge, so the protagonist cannot occupy a role position!

"If the protagonist is too strong, who will draw cards?

"But from the perspective of the plot, this is very unreasonable. The protagonist is the focus of the plot and a great hero who saves the world. However, when they really fight, he is not as good as a four-star supporting role. No team is willing to play with him. Is this reasonable?

"The behavior of Ni Tian Tang strengthening the protagonist is actually to make the protagonist's strength match the development of the plot. At the same time, the production team voluntarily gave up a large part of the revenue and gave zero-krypton players a super five-star character that continues to evolve and never has to worry about strength.

"So, is there anything wrong with Ni Tian Tang's operation?

"I think there is nothing wrong with it if you think about it carefully. When we think about problems, we should not be trapped in the mindset of other manufacturers and cannot get out. We should think more about which specific mechanisms are beneficial to us and which mechanisms are harmful to us. ”

Originally, there were many voices of disapproval in the video, but after seeing this, these voices are obviously much smaller.

The number of voices of support has increased.

It’s true, it makes sense when you think about it carefully!

The most criticized thing about many card-drawing mobile games is that they never make any balance adjustments.

It’s obvious that the usage rate of many old characters has dropped to single digits, and they can’t keep up with the speed of numerical expansion. It’s obvious that a slight change in the numerical value can make these old characters stand up again and have a second spring, but the manufacturer just won’t change it.

Not only this kind of change, even those very humorous or even negative talent skills that were obviously caused by design defects at the beginning of the service are not changed.

Why not change it?

Obviously, it is because of the reason mentioned by Zhuge Jun.

Strengthening old characters will make players who have drawn new characters unhappy, and it will not help the revenue of game manufacturers at all, so why strengthen them?

It is better to leave all the room for numerical adjustment to new characters, so that players will like to draw and manufacturers can make money.

But it is obvious that Ni Tian Tang wants to subvert this mechanism from the root.

Who said that old characters cannot be strengthened? I will strengthen them!

From Qinglin, to Xingying, to Ningyun Zhenjun and then to the hero.

The attitude expressed by Ni Tian Tang is: no matter whether this character is a UP pool character or not, no matter whether he has poor numerical value or poor mechanism, we must strengthen him when it is time to strengthen him!

Therefore, players should not have any strength anxiety, just draw cards according to their XP, and draw whoever they like.

Anyway, even if this character is weak, it will still be strengthened in the future.

Even if it has not been strengthened, relying on the two characters, the hero and Xiyun, who are given at the beginning, is enough to smoothly pass the plot chapters without having a bad experience.

…

Lilith was stunned after watching this video.

She seemed to have seen the negative emotions decreasing!

The matter is still the same, but once the player's thinking angle changes, the negative emotions generated will plummet.

It can be seen from the barrage that many players who drew Polar Night should have been the most angry and contributed the most negative emotions, but now they have all let it go.

"That's right, since all characters have the opportunity to be enhanced, then Polar Night may also be enhanced in the future, just wait patiently."

"Yes, originally I had no resistance to this white-haired boy when I drew Polar Night. It's pure XP card drawing. I was angry before because I felt that his strength was exploded by gold coins, but now think about it, since it can be enhanced in the future, it doesn't matter if it is exploded temporarily, just wait patiently."

"Indeed, this spiral enhancement mechanism is not bad, at least it is much friendlier to players than those games that have to constantly draw new characters."

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!

Lilith gnashed her teeth in anger: "Gu Fan, check if there are any plans to enhance this Polar Night!"

If there is no subsequent enhancement plan, then these players will have waited in vain.

Their expectations are dashed, which will also generate negative emotions.

Gu Fan operated on the computer: "...Yes, Mr. Li. There was one in version 5.0 and another in version 8.0."

Lilith felt a black screen in front of her eyes.

Oh no, these players really waited for it?

It is conceivable how many positive emotions this group of people will have at that time...

"Damn it, can't it be cancelled!" Lilith was very angry.

Gu Fan shook his head: "No. Mr. Li, these contents are all arranged. Changing any place will cause the original contract to become invalid."

Lilith gnashed her teeth: "Damn it!

"Why do you want to enhance this Polar Night, why!"

Gu Fan was silent for a moment: "Mr. Li, in order to complete your design, you can only do this.

"This method can effectively make the strength party and Tun Tun Rat produce negative emotions.

"As for the XP party... the XP party will indeed gain some positive emotions in this process, but what we considered at the time was that the strength party and Tun Tun Rat groups are relatively fixed and concentrated, while the XP party is very scattered. After all, everyone's XP is very different and difficult to target. "

Lilith frowned: "What do you mean by my design? This was obviously your original proposal!"

Gu Fan immediately clarified: "Mr. Li, I just gave a suggestion, and this is your decision.

"You said this method was "simply perfect" at the time."

Lilith's face was dark: "Okay, I know!"

From the previous situation, this method is indeed perfect.

Because in the card drawing area, players can basically be divided into three types: XP party, strength party and Tun Tun Rat. In many cases, the strength party and Tun Tun Rat players still overlap.

The so-called XP party only draws the characters they like, regardless of strength;

And the strength party only pays for the strength of the character, and does not draw if it is not strong.

Tun Tun Rat means accumulating a lot of draw points, skipping many characters that are not necessary to draw, only drawing key characters, and most likely only drawing high-star characters.

Although targeting XP players can also generate negative emotions, everyone's preferences are indeed too different. Only targeting a certain type of character, and XP players of other characters are not targeted, which is not cost-effective.

Therefore, targeting strength players and Tun Tun Rat is a good way to get negative emotions.

Stable and efficient.

But the only problem is...

What if these strength players and Tun Tun Rat players are converted to XP players?
