When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 524: Special Attack on Tun Tun Rat Players

Gu Fan nodded: "Well, it is indeed very common.

“Moreover, we cannot guarantee that players will like the UP characters every month, nor can we guarantee that every UP character will have similar strength.

“There are always some UP characters that are popular, and some that are ignored.

"If players only draw cards once every six months, and every time they draw, they can be sure that they can get their favorite characters to full life, then the negative emotions they have will indeed be greatly reduced.

“My solution to this is…

“Balance adjustment!
"We have to make balance adjustments very frequently."

Hearing this, Lilith couldn't help but stand in awe.

It’s really amazing that Gu Fan could think of this!

Of course, after the game of Nitian is launched, it cannot be modified. This is an iron rule that cannot be violated. But Nitian had already figured out a way to adjust the balance when it was operating "Shadow World".

That is a predictive adjustment.

At the beginning, a certain profession is deliberately made very strong, but then as the plot and world line progress, this profession is eliminated according to a predetermined program, and then other professions are strengthened.

As long as it is set in advance, this adjustment is completely feasible.

The new pay-to-win card-drawing game can obviously also take this route.

Why do players draw cards?
There are only two reasons, XP or strength.

The so-called XP party is actually someone who likes a specific character very much. When this character touches the player, even if the character itself is not strong, the player will draw it out of true love.

The situation for the strength party is relatively simple. They will only draw when a certain character is particularly strong.

XP card drawing is not easy to control because everyone likes different types of characters. Game manufacturers can only create as many different styles of characters as possible to meet the needs of different players.

But for those who want to be strong, drawing cards is much easier to control.

As long as certain characters are strengthened, the strength party can be forced to draw.

Of course, most pay-to-win games won’t do this, and they are usually very cautious when adjusting character values ​​and mechanisms.

This is mainly due to two considerations: one is to avoid the spiral numerical expansion caused by strengthening weak characters; the other is to consider it from the revenue perspective.

What is the point of strengthening old characters? Old players already have old characters, and strengthening old characters will not help the game's revenue.

Let the old characters rot in the ground, continue to release more powerful new characters, and let everyone draw them. This is the best solution for game companies to make profits.

In addition, game companies also have to consider the character’s value retention rate and reduce criticism.

For example, a powerful new character was just released and players spent money to draw it, but the game company turned around and strengthened a previously weak old character, making the powerful new character seem not so powerful.

So wouldn’t the players who just drew a new character be cursing?

Therefore, most pay-to-win card-drawing games are not very interested in numerical balance, and may even strategically abandon certain weak characters.

But it is obvious that Against Heaven does not play that game.

Revenue?

Could that be more important than negative emotions?
Players scolding?
That's great, that's exactly what I want!

Gu Fan’s suggestion is to set it up from the beginning and regularly pull out the weakest and lowest-level characters for strengthening.

Doing this will give the Tuntunshu players a head-on blow!

Tuntunshu players will find that after working hard for half a year, they finally made up their minds and fished out a powerful full-star character from the pool.

In order to get this character, he skipped the first five UP pools and six reprint pools and resisted the urge to draw.

But in the next version update, a previous character is suddenly strengthened and becomes stronger than the character he drew!
This is uncomfortable.

And if the enhanced character happens to have a good XP for him, and he didn’t draw it before because of his strength, then it will be even more difficult now.

At this point, he might continue saving money and wait for the character to be re-engraved, but the re-engraving is nowhere in sight. He might even draw the character when it is re-engraved, and then the game immediately strengthens another character...

A situation like this can only be summed up in one sentence: Tun Tun Rat lost!

Of course, there is a core point here: the enhanced characters will not be reproduced in the short term.

Assuming that the reprint cycle for each popular character is one year, then choose to enhance this character two months after its release.

If the player didn't draw at that time, he would have to endure it for eight months.

But what if the player draws for every character?

That brings us back to the original problem. The player only has enough draws to get one star, so it is a defective item.

Moreover, not every weak character will be enhanced. Whether to be enhanced is like buying a lottery ticket. Lilith nodded with satisfaction. This set of combined punches is indeed a clear difference from other krypton gold card drawing games.

If this mechanism can work properly, players will indeed contribute a lot of negative emotions in the process.

"That's all for today's discussion.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early.

“In general, I have memorized the key points of ‘pay-to-win mobile game AAA masterpiece’, ‘open world’, and ‘unique card drawing mechanism’.

"I will continue to improve it later. If I encounter any new problems, I will come to discuss it with you again."

Lilith stood up.

Obviously, the game is still far from complete so far, and we can only say that the overall framework has been barely built.

It’s not even a framework for game mechanics and gameplay, but just a framework for “how to collect negative emotions”.

But Lilith obviously didn't want to ask Gu Fan's opinion anymore.

Because she didn't particularly trust Gu Fan and still regarded him as the number one traitor, but now there were too many people suspected to be traitors, so she had to seek Gu Fan's opinion.

Obviously, Lilith intends to draw on the strengths of many people and find different people to come up with ideas for making different parts of the game.

With this big framework at hand, we will look for Qin Fengliang or someone else to improve other functions of the game.

Gu Fan saw through it but didn't say anything. He just said calmly: "Okay, Ms. Li, you can always contact me if you need anything."

Just as Lilith was about to disappear, she suddenly thought of something and emphasized, "Oh, by the way, let's slowly prepare for the new game, but the matter of appeasing the liver emperor must be put on the agenda immediately!
“Anyway, get him into the company first, and then slowly arrange things for him later!

"Let Guo Zhaosheng go. We must recruit him!"

……

The next afternoon.

The new game of Against the Heaven's will hasn't even started yet, but the issue of Zhao'an has already been put on the agenda.

The hardworking player started the live broadcast as usual and then made a mod for "Star Project".

There weren't many people in the live broadcast room. After all, making mods didn't really have much of a show-like effect, and looking at a bunch of codes made me dizzy.

There are only a few die-hard fans chatting in the live broadcast room.

The liver emperor doesn't care. He doesn't rely on live streaming to make a living. He does live streaming just to interact with fans and make it seem more lively.

By the way, with the supervision of fans, my work efficiency can be improved.

However, just then, he received a call.

"Hey?

“Yes, it’s me.

"Oh, what do you want to see me about?
"what?

"ah??
"Would you like to say it again?
"Okay, then let's make an appointment to meet and discuss in detail..."

After hanging up the phone, Gan Di was still confused.

This confused the audience in the live broadcast room.

what's the situation?
It is rare to see the usually calm and composed player show such an expression.

The person who called was, of course, Guo Zhaosheng, an employee of Nitiantang.

The previous offline event of "Catching all the clumsy UP hosts in one fell swoop" was arranged by Guo Zhaosheng, so the liver emperor had already exchanged contact information with him.

That event really screwed these UP hosts. If they hadn't saved themselves in time, who knows how big a mess it would have caused.

Although the video at that time was led by Li Wenhao and Chen Tingquan, Gan Di also played a role in it. He deeply analyzed some of the game's mechanisms, which made the video appear more professional and convincing.

Since then, Nitiantang never looked for them again.

Although these UP hosts and anchors were very angry, thinking that Against the Heavens had inexplicably come up with such a makeshift team and had exposed the list of partners, which almost caused them a lot of trouble, they did not pursue the matter in the end.

After all, the agreement was signed in black and white, Ni Tian Tang had paid enough money, and in the end it didn't cause any major impact, so the matter just passed.

Gan Di originally thought that Guo Zhaosheng called again to continue discussing business cooperation with him.

As a result, the other party's words completely confused him.

"Excuse me, are you interested in joining Anti-Heaven and being responsible for the development of our new game?"
