There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 523 Too much energy to suppress the situation!

   Diablo Season Mode.

  In fact, in essence, it is a way to encourage players to upgrade in competitions, to brush equipment and 'pvp' in competitions.

   This is a very good approach at the beginning of the game life cycle.

   As the saying goes, fighting with others is a lot of fun.

  Although it is just a ranking, it is precisely the ranking that is more attractive to players.

  Because Diablo just came out.

   Players don't have any experience, and even a complete set of mature 'build' players haven't appeared yet.

  All props, equipment, and content in the game are interesting and unknown to players.

  At the same time, there are still many unknown equipment and gameplay in the game waiting for them to explore.

   They are in high spirits and are very interested in everything about the game.

   And this desire to explore will continue until the 150th floor of the Great Secret Realm is breached, all equipment values ​​are revealed, and all game content is exhausted.

   Most players are familiar with the skills of those occupations and the mature builds.

  It will slowly move towards the fastest way to shape the "game tool man".

   Then the sense of exploration will decrease, and as another 'game tool man' takes shape, most players will gradually lose their fun.

  Eventually Diablo will be just like a normal stand-alone game.

  The number of online users is slowly declining.

   Eventually became the old game in the mouth of all players...

   And this process is actually quite fast.

  After all, when players are interested in a game, their subjective initiative will be very strong...

   Otherwise, players would not have the title of the fourth natural disaster in some works.

  The season mode is actually a means of using the limited-time season theme to allow players to start over and reactivate their desire to explore.

   To put it bluntly, it is to use the idea of ​​online games to operate stand-alone games, and use the season of gameplay to make up for the defect that most players stop playing after the equipment is almost complete, so that players can continue to stay in the game!

  This solution has many advantages, but it also has disadvantages.

   That is, with the increase of seasons, the game release cycle is lengthened, and more relevant information is available.

  Every player will become a top player, they will no longer carefully read the description of each dropped equipment, and will not be excited by the drop of legendary equipment. Because they are familiar with the equipment. For example, in Lin Yao's previous life, if she dropped a ring, except for Huajie and a few other useful ones, the players almost don't even have to think about it, just disassemble it.

  Because the game has been released for a long time.

  All players, except for the new gameplay brought by the season theme, basically know how to play. As soon as they enter the game, they go straight to the goal, and then at a certain moment.

   Either built a set of builds, or reached the 150th floor of the Great Secret Realm, or the peak level reached a certain value.

   The player will get tired and AFK (hands off the keyboard).

   Then after repeating many seasons, the number of players will start to decrease.

   That's the problem.

  Because "Diablo" itself is not an online game, there is only one storyline.

   Any game has a life cycle.

  Online games are available.

   Not to mention such a stand-alone game.

  You can’t expect a game that’s been out for 10 years to be as popular as it was when it first came out.

   "Diablo" is already very powerful, and the season mode has been suspended for a long time.

  In Lin Yao's previous life, there were very few similar games. After ten years, she still maintained a considerable vitality and the number of players. A large part of the credit for this came from the season mode.

   This is why Lin Yao introduced the season mode here.

  But Lin Yao will not continue this season mode that only provides season themes. He plans to add some new maps and new storylines every few seasons.

   As for how far she can go, she doesn't know.

   We can only do it first.

   But in the early stage of the game, she doesn't plan to do more, because the content of the game itself is already enough, and the season mode is indeed a surprise for players.

  This gameplay will not cause problems in the early stage, but players will be more subjective because they are confused by the new content and new gameplay...

  After all, the game has only just been released, and it has only been released for more than a day.

  The first player to clear the level will appear.

   Even the full-level people haven't come out yet.

  Everything is new to them.

   And the attraction of being on the leaderboard and becoming the first person in the profession is too strong for players.

   Imagine.

  A player who has never been in contact with "Diablo" is addicted to the plot and the seemingly magical gameplay. Suddenly the plot is over, but the game tells you.

   It's not over yet.

   Next, you are going to break through the Great Secret Realm!

  The entire Great Secret Realm has 150 floors! At the same time, there are a series of new ways to play, a series of new equipment, and new maps to be unlocked! Leaderboards! A new way of playing like a season theme!

in addition!

  The season is also linked with "World of Warcraft"!

  Although I don't know what kind of linkage.

  But the players who have already cleared the storyline stood up when they saw the announcement.

  And the players who are going through the plot, the players who are very interested in the game are also starting to look forward to it.

  Because...it's too exciting!

  …

   Pengcheng.

  Feng Kangshun opened the first day of the game.

   Directly shouted to be fooled...

  But after shouting that he was fooled, that night, he swiped until three o'clock in the morning...

   On the second day, he violated his weekend biological clock and got up early. After brushing his teeth, he directly turned on the computer screen.

  He didn't turn off his phone yesterday.

   This game is really poisonous!

   Feng Kangshun sighed and called a nearby takeaway.

   And then went on to play the fourth act of "Diablo".

  Going to **** Diablo!

   It's time to avenge Leah!

  Last night before bed.

  Feng Kangshun also went to the forum to browse around, and saw the post with new content after clearing the level.

   But he doesn’t like to be spoiled when playing games, so he didn’t click to read carefully, he plans to explore slowly by himself…

   Moreover, compared to the content after customs clearance, he cares more about the current plot and process.

   In addition, his long game experience told him.

  After the game process is over, no matter how you change it, the experience will be greatly reduced...

  Even if it is a meat pigeon, no matter how changeable it is.

  It can't change the fact that the player has already played it once, and the fun is greatly reduced.

  So he didn't take the content of the game too seriously.

soon.

  The room fell silent.

   Feng Kangshun, who had a rare weekend break, swiped all the way, then had breakfast and lunch in front of the computer... and finally cleared the level.

   He finished the fourth act very quickly.

  But he didn't expect that defeating Diablo was not the end.

   There is also a dead angel Masail behind.

  Finally, after dying three times, he finally defeated the oppressive Reaper of Souls, Malthael, the Angel of Death.

   Watch Death Scythe die.

  Feng Kangshun breathed a sigh of relief.

   Finally died.

   This final boss is really strong, considering his current equipment.

  Although Feng Kangshun didn't want to admit it, he was indeed handsome and strong!

  Finally the boss died, and the CG was played immediately after.

  The content is very vulgar.

   It is nothing more than Nephalem, the barbarian played by Feng Kangshun, who successfully overthrew the final boss and saved all mankind.

   But suddenly.

  In the second half of the CG, the painting style changed.

   seems to imply that nephalem will also be blackened.

  Finally, the game came to an end amidst these blank spaces.

  The CG is finished.

  The game prompts the player to continue playing the current character, or create an adventure mode and start over.

   "Fuck, I hate this kind of blank space the most, and there will be no new plot in the follow-up, and I will be hanging on... boring!"

  Feng Kangshun saw the final game prompt, and was a little worried about gains and losses.

  It's like watching a movie and reading a novel.

  Many people do worry about gains and losses.

  Because the story is over.

  Feng Kangshun belongs to this kind of people.

  Because he was concerned about gains and losses, he even forgot that new content would be unlocked after the subsequent game clearance.

   I just sigh that the story is over.

   But soon.

   As he chooses to continue playing the current character.

   Go back to camp in Act V.

  His mentality has quietly changed...

  Because there were several new NPCs in the camp, he didn't notice some new NPCs, but it was impossible for him not to notice the most conspicuous Kule.

  He stood in the most conspicuous position.

   "Isn't this b dead?"

  Feng Kangshun saw the new NPC, he was relieved from the state of worrying about gains and losses, and came to the character who had appeared in the plot before.

   Click on Dialogue.

  The other party mentioned a new map—the ruins of Sescheron in the dialogue of "Ancient Artifacts".

   This map Feng Kangshun is very sure that it did not appear in the previous plot.

  He opened the world map, searched for a while, and soon found a new map.

Then.

  He finally remembered that new content would be unlocked after the game was cleared, and managed to survive, although he didn't expect much.

   Because of the same sentence, he has cleared the game...

soon.

   Feng Kangshun ran to the ruins of Sescheron with the idea of ​​taking a look. After wandering around the ridiculously large map, he finally found the Temple of the Elders and the artifact that the NPC was talking about.

   However, nothing happened at the time.

   until back to camp.

   Talking to that new NPC again, Feng Kangshun realized what he got.

   "Extract power!?"

  Seeing the introduction of the first function of the artifact Kanai's Cube, Feng Kangshun was not calm.

  The first function of Kanai's Cube is to extract the special effects of legendary equipment!

   And he happened to have a piece of equipment, because of the low level, although the special effect was good, but because of the attribute problem, he threw it into the warehouse.

  So when he saw the first function of Kanai's Magic Box, he immediately ran to the warehouse, took out the 'Mr.

  Looking at the display on the power interface, 'Your energy generation speed and damage dealt increase by 25% when moving, and decrease by (20-25)% when standing still'.

  Feng Kangshun was excited.

   Fuck.

  Good stuff!

   Does not occupy the equipment grid, but has special effects!

  He took a closer look at the other functions on Kanai's Magic Box, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

   Then, he ran the camp again.

   Found several new NPCs.

  Change equipment, secret realm, offer rewards...

  Feng Kangshun tried everything, and even cleared the small secret realm.

   Come out of the small secret realm.

  Feng Kangshun looked at the legendary equipment and the key to the Great Secret Realm.

  Finally understand why the player who was the first to clear the story last night was so excited...

  This is game over!

   This is obviously the beginning of the game!

  Especially after reading the big and small Rifts and the season mode announcements pushed by the game!

  He is even more convinced!

  He used the key to the Great Secret Realm to open the Great Secret Realm on the first floor.

   Then stand at the starting point of the Great Rift map.

  After being silent for a while, excitement appeared on his face, and he said:

   "Fuck, this is too exciting!!!"

soon.

  He can't care about the game anymore.

   Switched back to the desktop directly, ran to the forum, and wanted to share what I saw.

   But open the forum.

   He found himself late.

  Early after the forest wood studio made the announcement.

  The players in the entire forum are all boiling...

  Even if there is no beautiful picture of Lin Yao this time, the players are willing to discuss it.

  Because the content after "Diablo" passed, it was too unexpected!

  As more and more players cleared the level, more and more players participated in the discussion...

   "Damn it! A road that has never been imagined! Linmu Studio is really always surprising people! It starts after clearing the level! Awesome!"

   "This is the first time I played such a game. After clearing the plot, not only did I not worry about gains and losses, but it made me miss my liver even more..."

   "I heard that the first player who cleared the level couldn't make it to the 40th floor of the Great Secret Realm. He died 30 times in 15 minutes, and all his equipment was rotten! Hahahaha [laughs]."

"I've seen it too! It doesn't seem to be cool in the follow-up! You need to match the equipment, power and skills! I'm playing a magician. Do you have any good solutions? What equipment can enhance the disintegration ray? Post a picture Please, please!"

   "The one who died 30 times is the magician...Although the magician is good at shooting in the early stage, it seems that it is not suitable for layering, everyone pay attention!"

   "Can someone share with us the magician's equipment and skills? Please! I really like magicians!"

   "I found a routine! It's very fast to clear the small secret realm, you can clear it once in nine minutes! The core equipment is Yang's recurve bow..."

   "Bosses, how should legendary gems be matched?"

   "Ancient equipment! It will drop ancient equipment after clearing the level! Damn! I'm so excited! The equipment is really rich! I want to assemble a set of the strongest suit!"

   "Come on season mode! I want to reach the top! I want the pet linked with "World of Warcraft"!"

   "Big brothers... I entered a place with a different style of painting! Look!"

   "Fuck, is there a hidden map in the game? How to get into the rainbow map? Are there any special props?"

   "..."

  The entire forum.

   Relevant posts are everywhere.

   Some players express their excitement, while others have already started discussing equipment and how to level up with their friends.

  Of course, there are also some players who have found more content in the game.

   In short.

   Very lively.

  Feng Kangshun is also reading the post, and the more he reads, the more excited he is, there are so many new contents! In the end, he turned to a post introducing the barbarian's early equipment, and couldn't hold back.

  Switch directly back to the game! Prepare to scan the small secret realm thirty times first!

   Soon, colorful lights were emitted from the screen, reflecting on Feng Kangshun's face.

  And he looked excited, full of anticipation...

have to say.

  This time, "Diablo" not only surprises the players with the game style, but also surprises the players at the gameplay level...

   Very big surprise!

certainly.

   For many colleagues, this is a shock...

  Lin Yao knows the flaws of the season mode.

   After all, she has experienced the changes of "Diablo 3" for ten years.

   But many colleagues do not know.

  As soon as this season mode comes out, anyone who has played "Diablo" and is a little smarter will know how powerful it is!

before.

  No matter how popular Linmu Studio's stand-alone game is, its popularity is limited for a limited time. The game will slowly lose most of its popularity over time.

  But this time, "Diablo" made my peers have a completely opposite feeling... Linmu Studio not only left enough play space after clearing the level of the game, but also matched it with a season mode.

   What’s even more outrageous is that they’re also promoting World of Warcraft in Diablo…

   Is this going to hold the player like an online game in a stand-alone game?

   Actually, I don’t blame Lin Yao’s colleagues for having such thoughts, because it’s really scary.

  Sky fox.

  Mou Feng started yelling 'Ah Guang, cheer up' again...

  The two companies behind Gameplayer contacted Linmu Studio, which is no longer a hint.

have to say.

  Since the carnival, Linmu Studio has indeed left a psychological shadow on many colleagues.

  In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know.

  Linmu Studio will release games in the future...

  How could I break my own path...

   They just scare themselves.

but.

   Anyway.

   Diablo was a success.

   Still a big success!

  …

   "How about it! Has the sales of "Diablo" exceeded 7 million?"

  Linmu Studio.

  Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing with anticipation.

  Mu Wanqing had a strange expression on her face.

  Because this is the first time that Lin Yao pays so much attention to the sales of games.

  In the past, she was basically sure that after the game became popular, she stopped paying attention to it in the follow-up.

   So she thought it was kind of weird.

but.

  Mu Wanqing looked at the tabletop with both hands, leaning forward, the high ponytail was gently swaying, and the fair and pretty round oval face was full of a young girl who was eager for knowledge.

   I don't think this is a bad thing...

"Soon, this time because the carnival and announcements have invested enough, and the game itself has attracted enough attention, the pre-sale sales are very good, and after the announcement of the season mode, there are more interested players, and the sales volume has exceeded 7 million. Sooner or later, but not so soon.”

  Mu Wanqing explained a few words, and then said: "It may take two days."

"Oh…"

  Lin Yao was a little disappointed when she heard this, she stopped supporting the table, and sat back on the chair directly, then shook her high ponytail sullenly.

  Mu Wanqing: "..."

  I knew it a long time ago so I wouldn’t say it.

   Lin Yao still has a curious face just now. If she had a tail, Lin Yao might be more cute.

  Of course, she dared not say this directly.

  Lin Yao was about to explode when she heard the tail.

   In fact.

  Lin Yao would indeed, but she couldn't hear Mu Wanqing's inner voice, so she didn't care.

   After flicking her ponytail for a while in depression, Lin Yao cheered up again.

   Forget it, it’s not bad for those few days.

   "How is the progress of the mobile phone project?" Lin Yao asked again.

   "Well... I am preparing for the stacking of the new motherboard, and I have asked the new person in charge of UMedia to mobilize the appearance design department and the structural design department."

  Mu Wanqing flipped through the report in her hand and replied.

  The so-called stacking is actually equivalent to the process of assembly.

  Mobile phone from design to mass production.

  The process is quite troublesome.

But... for other manufacturers, it is not troublesome for Linmu Studio, because Lin Yao gave a very detailed plan, not to mention the shape of the mobile phone, even the fixed structure such as the screen, microphone, camera, etc. The plans are all above.

   If you are really reckless, you can actually negotiate with the supplier directly, and then directly trial production!

but.

  Yao Lin did not do this, physical products are not games.

  Games are tested before they are released.

   Not to mention mobile phones.

  All she intends to let YouMedia's appearance design department and structural design department go through the design plan given by the system, and then do a collective structural review.

  This can not only provide engineers with a learning opportunity, but also give them a clear enough understanding of the mobile phones that will be produced next.

   Otherwise, if there is a problem in mass production, and there is no one to solve the problem, it would be too bad.

  The system has given a plan, which has saved a lot of time, so don't waste this time.

   "Okay, then I'll go and have a look later."

  Lin Yao thought about it, "Diablo" has now been successfully released, and it has achieved very good results.

  I guess it will be the same whether I stare or not.

  As for "World of Warcraft", Lei Hongguang cautiously asked to open the second inner side and test it again, so she doesn't have to worry about this aspect.

  For the mobile game department, the meeting is tomorrow.

  I seem to have nothing to do today.

   Come to think of it.

  Lin Yao simply stood up and said, "Forget it! I'll go over now, lest Uncle Zhang can't hold back... Miss Mu, I'm leaving."

  After the formal acquisition is completed.

  All the top executives of Youmedia were fired by Lin Yao...

   It’s not that they don’t miss old feelings, the main thing is that they can toss the best media that can be ranked in the top five before to the bottom. It’s really amazing... amazing in every sense.

  Lin Yao doesn't need this kind of high-level executive who only knows about factional disputes.

  So they were all fried.

   And these people, how should I put it, although they don't have the ability to run the company, they are very capable of making trouble.

  After the notice went down, they took away many employees of their own direct line.

  It looks like you media don't want to make a good life for yourself, so you will empty out you media.

  Lin Yao didn't have time before, "Diablo" is more important, so I let my sister and LMFH handle it.

   At present, Zhang Youjie is controlling YouMedia, and the situation has stabilized, but Lin Yao is still a little worried.

  So I plan to check it out.

   "Manager Zhang can't hold back anymore, can't you hold back the situation..."

  Mu Wanqing heard Lin Yao's words, before she had time to object, a gust of fragrant wind blew, and Lin Yao ran behind her.

  She froze for a moment, then quickly reached out and grabbed Lin Yao's high ponytail.

   It's kind of funny.

   "It hurts, hurts... let go! Why can't it work, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

  Lin Yao stopped immediately after being pulled by her ponytail.

   Turning her head and staring at Mu Wanqing.

   "There is no misunderstanding."

  Mu Wanqing let go of Lin Yao's high ponytail, and looked at the perfect girl standing in front of her, as if she was adored by heaven and earth, she really couldn't imagine how she would control the place...

  You said that it is possible to mobilize the subjective initiative of employees...

   "It has stabilized over there. Manager Zhang has already told me, don't worry, if you really want to go, then I will go with you."

  Mu Wanqing smiled, then came to Lin Yao's side, gently took her arm: "Let's go."

  (end of this chapter)
