These two games are very old and have accumulated a lot of problems, and some of them can't even be corrected.
Fortunately, President Pei provides a good entry point: pay point!
Cut all pay points and keep only one.
This is quite a daunting task, because conservatively, there must be at least dozens of pay points in these two games.
It ranges from recharge consumption activities, to the purchase of some daily props, and the payment points in various development systems...
It can be said that all places where you can pay extra points are added.
To cut off these payment points, it is not simply and rudely closing the entrance to the mall.
Because these payment points are related to the value system of the entire game.
To ensure that those who recharged 500 yuan can be recharged to 100 yuan, and those who recharged 100 yuan can be recharged to 30 yuan, it is necessary to make a good plan for the recharge value in the game, so that each different recharge amount can be obtained correspondingly. improvement.
And 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 it boils down to a numerical problem.
This is why the domestic numerical planning status is so high, second only to the main planning. It is because of the 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 class, which were originally distinguished by recharging, need to be distinguished by other methods.
In another way of distinguishing, if something goes wrong and the numerical system of the game crashes, it is really hard to save the gods.
Just like the previous "Blood War Song" was full of scolding and the income plummeted, the main reason was that Lao Liu sold the knife too expensive, a simple numerical problem, which brought extremely bad influence.
Ye Zhizhou thought about it for a long time, and always felt that he was not able to catch up.
There were some ideas, but he wasn't sure if they could actually be implemented.
So he printed out the document and found Wang Xiaobin to discuss it together.
Wang Xiaobin is a senior numerical planner, and he can't help frowning when he hears Ye Zhizhou's thoughts.
This change is not a joke.
If it was in the past, let alone Lao Liu or Wang Xiaobin, any experienced old planner would feel that it was impossible to change this way, and would directly reject Ye Zhizhou's suggestion.
But now, Ye Zhizhou is the master planner, and no one can refute his suggestion...
Moreover, the matter of cutting off all payment points was proposed by President Pei!
That being the case, then you have to do everything possible to complete it, if you have the conditions to go, and if you don't have the conditions to create the conditions, you have to go!
Wang Xiaobin said melancholy: "I always feel that this is a rather unreliable approach, but since it was proposed by President Pei, it must have deep meaning. I will try my best to complete it."
The mere change of cutting off all the paid points is equivalent to bringing back most of the game and redoing it.
This is different from FS games like "Fortress at Sea".
Even if there is a fire unicorn in "Fortress at Sea", it is a competitive game as a whole. It is relatively balanced. No matter how rich the local tyrant is, it is impossible to fight two enemies with the same level of operation.
But "Blood War Song" is a typical krypton gold game. Let alone one dozen two, one dozen twenty is trivial, this is an absolute imbalance.
The entire game content of "Blood War Song" is built on this imbalance.
If you cut off all the pay points, there is always an indicator that distinguishes the player's combat power. It can't be money, it can only be time or luck.
Change the game to a game of just fighting time? That is likely to become the world of studios and liver emperors.
Of course, it is not impossible to make a card game, but it can be said to be incompatible with the original design of "Blood War Song". If it is really a point card game, it is no different from making a new game from scratch, which is obviously unrealistic and inconsistent. President Pei asked.
Change the game to a game of luck? Then it became the emperor's world.
With such a change, it may not be as good as before, it is still unbalanced, and the game experience of most players is still not improved.
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin simply lost their heads.
This is a difficult problem that no one can answer in the domestic game circle.
Of course, no one is willing to answer this question. After all, cutting the payment points is a problem with money. Even if a master planner wants to change his mind like this, his boss will definitely wake him up.
The krypton gold game is alive and well, and it is still so profitable, who will think about any alternatives when they are full
But the more Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin thought about it, the more meaningful they felt.
If you can give a proper solution, even if it is just an immature solution, this is the only one in China!
Sure enough, President Pei's casual words also contain such a mystery!
Ye Zhizhou proposed several proposals, but they were all rejected by Wang Xiaobin from a numerical point of view.
But Ye Zhizhou was not discouraged.
Finally, he slapped his forehead.
"Brother Wang, I have a new idea."
"Do you think it's possible to give everyone the opportunity to 'play' the local tyrant?"
Wang Xiaobin was stunned for a moment: "Playing a local tyrant? How to play it?"
Ye Zhizhou was very excited. He wrote on the paper and said, "Actually, the problem we have been struggling with just now is not the problem of the game experience."
"The game experience of our game can be easily divided into three types."
"The first type is the local tyrants. They have the most money and the highest combat power, and they enjoy the thrill of playing a dozen on the battlefield."
"The second type is the organizer. They have a lot of time and are very active. They are responsible for managing the guild, attracting people, and enjoying the thrill of commanding others."
"The third type is ordinary players. They can't play 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 local tyrants to drink soup and fight the country. If they win, they also get a 'sunshine' reward."
"Now the distinction between the three experiences is based on two factors, 'money' and 'time'."
"The factor of 'time' does not need to be changed, so the identities of the organizers and ordinary players do not need to change. Only the experience of local tyrant players needs to be changed, because we have cut off all payment points, and local tyrants have nowhere to spend if they want to spend it. ."
"So, in the national war, we directly select some players to gain high combat power and experience the feeling of local tyrant players, isn't it enough?"
Wang Xiaobin was still a little confused.
Ye Zhizhou continued: "We cut off all the payment points, then in general, the players' combat power will be maintained at a similar level. Players with good luck and more time will have higher combat power than other ordinary players, but Not too high."
"But in the national war, we will randomly select some players to play local tyrants, and these players will directly gain the powerful combat power that the original local tyrants can have."
"In order to ensure that every player has a chance to be drawn, we create a 'chosen system' for each player individually, which starts from a 0% chance and starts to accumulate, and the system draws randomly."
"If you are not drawn, the chance of being drawn next time will increase; if you are drawn once, the chance will be reset and start from scratch."
"And the specific increased probability depends on various factors such as activity 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 ensured the original ecology, but also allowed most players to take turns to enjoy the happiness that only local tyrants could enjoy, and also fulfilled President Pei's requirements and eliminated most of the payment points! "
"Three birds with one stone!"
Wang Xiaobin was lost in thought.
This idea of Ye Zhizhou is theoretically achievable.
However, it is very risky, and it is also very deviant and shocking!
However, to fulfill President Pei's requirements and cut off all payment points without completely collapsing the entire game's numerical system and ecological environment, this seems to be a solution.
Wang Xiaobin nodded: "Okay, let's try it. I will make a numerical model, and you can consider the details of some rules in detail. Oh, or let's hold a meeting first and briefly explain this idea to everyone."
Ye Zhizhou nodded, and after quickly sorting out the thoughts just now in his mind, he stood up.
"Everyone, go to the conference room for a meeting and talk about the changes to our game."
For some reason, Ye Zhizhou felt that he was very confident at this time.
It seems that all of a sudden, I have adapted to the identity of the master planner!
