These two games are very old and have accumulated many problems, some of which are even impossible to correct.
Fortunately, Mr. Pei provided a good entry point: the payment point!
Cut off all the payment points except one.
This is a quite difficult task, because conservative estimates suggest that there must be at least dozens of payment points in these two games.
As large as recharge consumption activities, as small as the purchase of some daily props, as well as payment points in various development systems...
It can be said that any place where payment points can be added , all added.
To cut off these payment points, it is not just a matter of simply closing the mall entrance.
Because these payment points are related to the numerical system of the entire game.
To ensure that a person who recharges 500 yuan can beat someone who charges 100 yuan, and a person who recharges 100 yuan can beat someone who charges 30 yuan, it is necessary to plan the recharge value in the game very well, so that each player can be different. The recharge amount can be increased accordingly.
These improvements are linked to the combat power system in the game, and the combat power system affects the game ecology, just like there are herbivores and carnivores in nature.
So this is ultimately a numerical problem.
This is also why the domestic numerical planning status is so high, second only to the main planner. It is because of the numerical value that it often directly determines the experience of krypton gold games.
Changing the payment point is equivalent to a major change in the value system, which means that the game ecology and player classes that were originally distinguished through recharge need to be distinguished in other ways.
To put it another way, if something goes wrong and causes the numerical system of the game to collapse, it will really be impossible for the gods to save it.
Just like when "War Hymn" was criticized and its income plummeted, the main reason was that Liu sold the knife too expensively. A simple numerical problem had an extremely bad impact.
Ye Zhizhou thought about it for a long time, but always felt that he was somewhat powerless.
There are some ideas, but he is not sure whether they can be implemented.
So, he printed out the document and found Wang Xiaobin to discuss it together.
Wang Xiaobin is a senior numerical planner. Hearing Ye Zhizhou's thoughts, he couldn't help but frown.
This kind of change is no joke.
In the past, any experienced planner, let alone Lao Liu or Wang Xiaobin, would have felt that such a change was not feasible and would have directly rejected Ye Zhizhou's suggestion.
But now, Ye Zhizhou is the mastermind, and no one can reject his suggestion...
Moreover, it was Mr. Pei who suggested cutting off all payment points!
In this case, we must do everything possible to complete it. If there are conditions, we must do it, and if there are no conditions, we must create conditions!
Wang Xiaobin said melancholy: "I always feel that this is a very unreliable approach, but since it was proposed by Mr. Pei, there must be some profound reasons.meaning. I'll try to finish it. ”
Just the change of cutting off all payment points is equivalent to redoing most of the game.
This is different from FPS games like “Sea Fortress” Different.
Even though "Sea Fortress" has Fire Qilin, it is generally a competitive game and is relatively balanced. No matter how wealthy you are, it is impossible for you to defeat two enemies with the same skill level. < /p>
But "War Song" is a typical krypton gold game. Let alone one against two for rich people, one against twenty is just trivial. This is an absolute imbalance.
The entire game content of "Blooded War Song" is based on this imbalance.
If all payment points are cut off, there must be an indicator to distinguish the player's combat power, and it cannot be money. , then it can only be time or luck.
Change the game to a pure time game? It will probably become the world of the studio and the Gan Emperor.
Of course, do it. It's not impossible to turn it into a card game, but it can be said to be incompatible with the original design of "War Song". It's no different from making a new game from scratch. It's obviously unrealistic and does not meet Mr. Pei's requirements. .
Change the game into a game of luck? Then it will become the world of the European Emperor.
With this change, it will probably not be as balanced as before, and most of it will still be unbalanced. The player's gaming experience is still not improved.
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin are simply thinking about it.
This is something that no one in the domestic gaming circle can give for the time being.
Of course, no one is willing to answer this question. After all, if you cut the payment points, you are struggling with money. Even if a master planner wants to change it like this, his boss will He will definitely be slapped awake.
Krypton gold games make a good living, and they are so profitable. Who would be too full to think about alternatives?
But? The more Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin thought about it, the more meaningful it became.
If a proper solution can be given, even if it is just an immature solution, it will be the only one in the country!
p>
Sure enough, Mr. Pei’s casual words also contain such a mystery!
Ye Zhizhou proposed several plans, but they were all rejected from a numerical perspective. .
But Ye Zhizhou was not discouraged.
Finally, he slapped his forehead.
“Brother Wang, I have a new idea. ”
“Do you think it’s feasible to give everyone the opportunity to ‘act’ as a rich man? "
Wang Xiaobin was stunned for a moment: "Playing the role of a rich man? How to play? "
Ye Zhizhou was very excited and said while writing on the paper: "Actually, the problem we have been struggling with just now is not about the game experience. ”
“The gaming experience of our game can be simply divided into three types. ”
“The first type is the rich. They charge moneyThe most, the highest combat power, and enjoy the pleasure of one against ten on the battlefield. ”
“The second type is the organizer. They have a lot of time, are very active, are responsible for managing the guild, recruiting people, and enjoy the pleasure of commanding others. ”
“The third type is ordinary players. They can't beat ten, and they are not managers. But on the one hand, these people can gradually transform into the former two. On the other hand, they can also follow the wealthy people to drink soup. If the national war is won, they can also gain 'The sun shines' reward. ”
“Now the distinction between these three experiences is based on the two factors of ‘money’ and ‘time’. "
"The factor of 'time' does not need to change, so the identities of the organizers and ordinary players do not need to change. The only thing that needs to be changed is the experience of wealthy players, because we have cut off all payment points, and the wealthy players have nowhere to spend their money. ”
“Then, wouldn’t it be enough if we directly select some players to gain high combat power in the national war and experience the feeling of wealthy players? "
Wang Xiaobin is still a little confused.
Ye Zhizhou continued: "We cut off all payment points, so overall, the players' combat power will remain at a similar level. Players with good luck and more time will have higher combat power than other ordinary players, but it will not be much higher. "
"But in the national war, we will randomly select some players to play the role of local tyrants, and these players will directly gain the powerful combat power that the original local tycoons can possess. ”
“In order to ensure that every player has a chance to be drawn, we create a separate ‘Selection System’ for each player, which starts from a 0% probability and is randomly drawn by the system. "
"If you are not drawn, the chance of being drawn next time will increase; if you are drawn once, the chance will be cleared and you will start from scratch. ”
“The specific chance of increase depends on various factors such as activity level and contribution to the game. We can use this as a factor to encourage players to go online and participate in activities. ”
“In this way, we not only ensure the original ecology, but also allow most players to take turns to enjoy the happiness that only the rich can enjoy, and we also complete President Pei’s request and kill Most of the payment points! ”
“Achieve three birds with one stone!” ”
Wang Xiaobin fell into deep thought.
Ye Zhizhou’s idea is theoretically achievable.
But it is very risky and deviant. Shocking!
However, it seems that this is a solution to fulfill Mr. Pei’s request and cut off all payment points without causing the entire game’s numerical system and ecological environment to completely collapse.
Wang Xiaobin nodded: "Okay, let's try it. I will create a numerical model and you can consider the details of some rules in detail. Oh, or we can hold a meeting first and briefly explain this idea to everyone. ”
Ye Zhizhou nodded. After quickly sorting out his thoughts in his mind, he stood up.Come.
"Everyone, go to the conference room for a meeting and talk about the changes to our game."
For some reason, Ye Zhizhou felt confident at this time.
It seems that I have adapted to the role of the main planner all of a sudden!
