Chapter 93: The Second Shift of the Reward and Punishment Mechanism
Xia Sen rejected Zhang Li's three proposals.
And Xia Sen's plan, Zhang Li also disagreed.
Xia Sen wants to introduce a reward and punishment mechanism in the game, and the circulating currency of rewards and punishments is game currency.
Every day, all users can get a certain amount of in-game currency for free, and the balance in the PP account can also be used to buy in-game currency.
Every game is a "bet", and the winner takes the "bet" from the loser, and this bet is the game currency. People with different amounts of money can go to different levels of rooms, and the higher level rooms win more and lose harder.
If you lose all your in-game currency, you lose the opportunity to continue playing today. You'll have to wait for new coins to be released tomorrow, or top up.
Zhang Li's brows wrinkled into the word "Sichuan" when he heard this.
Gambling on game currency while playing chess? It's just so emotionless.
The original intention of the game lobby was to send loneliness and bring joy to all those who play. The players here are all just for leisure.
This change in the reward and punishment mechanism means that the nature of the game will change. Turn a casual game into a competitive game. All people care more about their wins and losses, and the sense of accomplishment of the winner will become stronger, and at the same time, the sense of loss of the loser will also be amplified.
This also hurts gamers too much, and it goes against the original intention of the birth of this game.
And when you play a game, you actually limit the number of times players can play? Isn't it the greatest success of a game to let players play endlessly?
Moreover, the most incomprehensible thing for him was Xia Sen's last decision.
"Each player recharges, and the daily limit is 10,000 yuan. ”
How can it be?
After this form of charging is launched, whether he can make money or not, his little boss actually seriously helps players worry about recharging too much, is this thinking too much.
On the day the game update was launched, they selected about 1/10 of the users and 1,000 people on average from various dimensions such as region, login frequency, usage time, etc., as users of this closed beta, they can experience the functions required by Xia Sen.
At Zhang Li's insistence, the system gave away a large amount of game currency to these closed beta users by default.
On the one hand, it is a reward for closed beta users, and on the other hand, it is also worried that players will not be able to continue the game due to insufficient game currency, resulting in direct abandonment.
As the first time the entire lobby team has worked with Charson, they have worked overtime to update the features, and everyone is very much looking forward to the result.
They stared at the online data for three days.
Embarrassed for three days.
During these three days, they watched the logins of one user at a time.
Enter the game - click to enter the lowest level room - start the game.
Enter the game - click to enter a room with a higher level - exit that room - click to enter the room with the lowest level - start the game.
As for the gold coins that are given away every day and spent every day, the players don't even pay attention to it, and go to the lowest room to match their opponents.
Losing the in-game currency, or winning the in-game currency, it seems like nothing costs them all.
Then those who like to play chess go to play chess, and those who like to play cards go to play cards, as if the game has not been updated.
For three whole days, in the high-level room, not even a single game was completed. Even if someone clicks into a high-level room, takes a look, and then comes out right away.
Recharge?
Buying in-game currency?
To bet to win this game?
Inexistent.
According to their reasoning, most players may not be aware of the difference between high-level and low-level rooms. This group of players... You may not even know that the concept of in-game currency exists.
Not to mention top-ups.
Not a single person topped up.
These closed beta users play this game according to their original habits.
It's like... As if there was no update this time.
Zhang Li frowned and looked at the data in the background, and held meetings with his planning team one after another.
In the first few meetings, they discussed and reviewed countless times why this update was completely ineffective. Wait until the next few meetings, and the topic of the meeting is already how to express their opinions without hurting the self-esteem of this small boss.
"I'll go tell him, remove the function!" Zhang Li finally couldn't help but stand up, "If it fails, it fails, we can think of a new plan!
Judging from the results of this closed beta, it is a complete failure, and the effect of the new feature is almost zero. This kind of functional testing and failure is an easily accepted reality in startups. If it's wrong, it's wrong, and if it's wrong, it's just a change.
"Wait. Xie Fangtang stopped him. "I'll talk about it when I'm ready. ”
Xie Fangtang was taking into account Xia Sen's emotions.
A few days ago, Xia Sen's efforts were seen by everyone, working overtime with them, and discussing plans with them until midnight. Later, when the development schedule was tight, Xia Sen personally went to the top and typed the code himself.
It's too much.
This is their first collaboration with the small boss, and the little boss's hard work and charisma have conquered the team again and again. They all believe in Xia Sen very much, believe that he is a very capable person, and believe that he can lead everyone to make a career.
However, the word "failure", Xie Fangtang has never let people say it.
They could afford to lose this time, but they were afraid that Xia Sen would not be able to afford it. This project was promoted by Xia Sen on his own initiative, and almost all opposition was eliminated and single-mindedly promoted.
If they say the word "failure" to Xia Sen, it is like disobeying Xia Sen's leadership and questioning Xia Sen's authority.
He was worried that Xia Sen would not be able to hang on his face.
Xia Sen's age is too young after all, and he has always done things smoothly before, and this failure may have brought him a big blow.
Just as the gang was trying to discuss how to help Xia Sen "get through the difficulty", Xia Sen pushed open the door and walked in.
"I seem to have found the cause of the problem. Xia Sen had a smile on his face.
"......" Zhang Li opened his mouth, looking quite hesitant.
According to his character, he directly said to Xia Sen, don't waste so much energy, let's get rid of this function and study other charging methods. But thinking about Xie Fangtang's statement, it is not unreasonable, it should not discourage the enthusiasm of the small boss.
I was in a dilemma for a while, and I didn't know what to do.
"Theoretically, when a new feature is launched, at least about 5% of users will be curious and try the feature. Where did Xia Sen notice Zhang Li's thoughts, and began to talk about his thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth, "I'm just curious, why don't we even have users to try it?"
