Chapter 466: Nighttime Riots
As early as the beginning of the month, Jiang Chen provided the specifications and models of the "Phantom" helmet shell to interested small private workshops on Koro Island in the form of outsourcing, and handed them over to produce at an outsourcing price of $50 per helmet shell. According to the indicators provided by Jiang Chen, the cost of producing a helmet is about $40, and the profit of each helmet is as high as $10.
Such a high rate of return even led to a wave of entrepreneurship in the new country for a while.
Now there are no fishermen in sight in the whole of Anga, and those who seized the opportunity took out loans to buy production equipment and set up small workshops in their own yards. You only need to produce 1,000 helmets, and the profit is 10,000 dollars, isn't this much more cost-effective than fishing?
After a period of time, they have tasted the sweetness, and people with bright brains will start to think about setting up bigger factories, expanding production, lowering production costs, and making more money......
Then he became a capitalist who was economically dependent on the future group of people.
All in all, the cost of a helmet is about $500. Regarding the price of the helmet, Jiang Chen is ready to set it at $1,500. Depending on the tariffs of each country, this retail price will fluctuate by 5%-15% in different regions.
Don't look at the price of $1,500, it seems a bit expensive, but if you think about it from another angle, it can make you "open your eyes" for 8 hours a day, do you still think it's expensive?
This is a second life!
Moreover, Futureman Technology guarantees that the shelf life of the "Phantom" helmet is more than five years. The helmet that is damaged due to normal use within 2 years is replaced, and the damage can be replaced at half price within 5 years, so the warranty service is undoubtedly very conscientious.
As for those who are confident in disassembling the "curious" helmet because of the internal structure of the helmet, then sorry, you have to pay for your own curiosity. On the sale agreement and product packaging. Futureman Technology has clearly pointed out that any disassembly of the helmet by itself may lead to rapid "oxidation" of the internal structure, and the helmet damaged by disassembly is not suitable for replacement and half-price replacement services.
On the other hand, the current production of this virtual helmet is not high, and it is destined to be used by some people, while others cannot be used for the time being. Jiang Chen believed. Even with a price tag of $1,500, the "Phantom" helmet will remain unmarketable for a long time.
……
Late at night, in the virtual reality online game test hall, 2,000 players lay quietly on reclining chairs, conducting routine tests.
For the first 20 days, the closed beta was conducted during the day. However, later the staff found out that because when the "Phantom" helmet was activated, the user's brain was in a sleeping state, if the internal test was carried out during the day. will cause the player's biological clock to be reversed. The specific performance is that whenever the test is over, it is obviously night, but the closed beta players are as energetic as daytime.
The impact on the user's biological clock is a real problem, but it is also a testament to the excellent sleep aid effect of the VR helmet. Even insomniacs can sleep peacefully through a virtual reality headset.
Although it is only a detail, this has also been carefully recorded in the book by the staff, which will provide a reference for the actual operation of the game.
It's now the 25th day of closed beta.
Players have gone from the initial shock. It has become a habit today.
At the beginning, many mages were still excitedly throwing fireballs at the house in the novice village, and they were killed by the guards who rushed to the scene countless times, and they were still happy at the resurrection point. It wasn't until the NPCs in the city showed unfriendly feelings towards these players that this mentally retarded behavior subsided.
Actually, they don't blame them, anyone who has the ability to cast magic, the first thought is definitely not to use it to save the world, but to wreak havoc and see how angry the NPCs are. Don't doubt it, even if you take out the psychology of Freud's old-timers. This kind of behavior is also traceable.
It is precisely for this reason that most of these mages tend to change careers to fire and necromancers when they change classes.
One is violent enough, one is evil enough.
For this kind of employment tendency of players, game designers who are far away in another world have to rely on these cold data. Helplessly waved the "scalpel".
"The weather was nice today. ”
"Let's sharpen the mage. ”
These two sentences have almost become the daily language of Du Yongkang's game studio.
There is no way, they can't see the specific situation of the player, and they can't figure out why these "beta testers" are so keen on choosing mages, and why they are so keen to use fireballs to light NPCs' houses, this kind of imagination is almost unheard of in his more than 20 years of career.
It wasn't until Du Yongkang reported this situation to Jiang Chen that the tragic situation of the mage being continuously stabbed stopped.
It has taken a century for the virtual reality to mature from the beginning to the end of the world, so the players in that world are not surprised by the degree of freedom and fantasy in the virtual reality, but are more accustomed to it.
In short, the beta testers on this side of the world, for such a large-span virtual reality device, show more of a worship similar to the primitive civilization. It's like if you suddenly throw a musket into the hands of the natives, their first instinct is definitely not to stay away from the gun's eye, but to lean their eyes to see why the black hole is breathing fire.
Cutting skill damage will reduce gameplay, but if you don't cut it, no one will play Warrior, and it will also affect the player's gameplay experience. After some deliberation, Jiang Chen instructed them to go under the knife on growth, not on skill damage.
For example, a fighter's C-level equipment costs about 100 gold coins, and the explosion rate is 10%. The price of the mage's C-level equipment requires 1,000 gold coins, and the explosion rate is 4%. If most rookies can't play mages, they will naturally choose to change careers.
And at level 20, players will have a chance to wash their class, and they can choose to change their class. Players who are unable to earn enough gold in the game to maintain the Mage class will naturally choose to change to a class such as Warrior or Assassin.
In addition, for nurses like the priest who are unattended, the program apes on the other side of the wasteland have made similar adjustments to them.
After such adjustments, 25 days have passed, and the playability of the whole game has improved a lot.
Just when Wei Wendong was walking in the woods while operating the deleted and retrained archers, suddenly the helmet prompted the icon of [Lost Connection].
"Dropped?" Wei Wendong frowned,
The battery should be full, based on the "phantom" of the wifi connection server, theoretically there is indeed the possibility of disconnection, although this is the first time he has encountered ......
After clicking the logout button, he took off his helmet and looked around, revealing that it was dark in the closed testing hall. He could only vaguely see that the nearby players were almost in the same situation as him, waking up from the game with a blank face.
"Don't panic, there's a little bit of a situation out there. ”
At this moment, an internal tester walked in and said to the crowd through a loudspeaker-
(Thanks to the Darkmoon Alliance Leader for the reward!) Hehe, thank you so much. Anyway, I already owe the two alliance leaders for the outburst, believe me, I will make up for it when my internship ends on April 1st! )
