At 9 a.m. on October 8, Yuebai Studio, 6th Floor, Building 6, Oriental Industrial Park, Shangdi West Road, Haidian District, Beijing......

“…… Well, that's the main running data of Legends at the moment. Lu Yongcheng, general manager of Yuebai Studio, closed the folder in his hand, turned his eyes to the work partners in the conference room, and continued: "Everyone, let's discuss the next version update of "Legend", that is, what content should be added to version 1.02 of "Legend"? ”

As soon as Lu Yongcheng's voice fell, Zhang Heng, the game system architect, continued: "Then I'll say a few words first, which can be regarded as throwing bricks and leading the way." Well...... As you know, there are currently nine major NPC sects in "Legend", namely the 'Divine Arrow Gate' dominated by archers, the 'Qingshan Sect' dominated by swordsmen, the Daoist Gate 'Jiantianguan', the 'Five Tiger Gate' with swords, the 'Valley of Hundred Flowers' with pure women, the 'Ten Thousand Cults' that act ghostly, the ambitious 'Fengtianhui', the complicated 'Ghost King Banner', and the 'Kaminarimenburg' that always maintains a neutral identity. According to the data transmitted by Fengyun Network, there are about 80,000 players who have reached the level of the plus sect, and about 77% of them have joined the first five sects such as 'Divine Arrow Gate' and 'Hundred Flowers Valley', which means that the number of the top five sects is almost twice that of the next four sects, if we open the sect war according to the plan, the balance in the number of people will be too different, so the first thing we need to do is to adjust the settings of each sect and try to make their numbers relatively even. ”

Everyone in the conference room was silent for a while, the data on the game operation report in front of them showed that this was indeed the case, if it continued like this, when the sect war started in two months, the players of the sects of 'Ten Thousand Cults' and 'Ghost King Banner' would obviously be at a disadvantage, and in the long run, maybe there would only be fewer and fewer people.

After pondering for a while, the chief planner Lei Yin said: "In fact, we considered the balance between the nine major sects when we first designed them, in the case of the same number of people, each sect has a certain chance of winning one-on-one, and there are sects in major cities to attract envoys, theoretically there should not be the current situation." I think the current situation may be related to the fact that players don't know enough about each school, and they probably think that the top five schools are stronger or more fun, so naturally there are more people who choose the top five schools. I think that if we want to adjust, we must not take the method of weakening a certain sect to solve it, this can only be to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, we should try some other ways, such as using some kind of benefit to induce players to invest in the next four sects......"

"That's right." Numerical planner Qing Wanping nodded and said: "In terms of numerical balance, we have used computing clusters to conduct simulation deductions, and there is no obvious balance problem in terms of the underlying data setting alone, so we need to consider a method that will not affect the existing underlying data and adjust the player's desire to join the sect." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, thinking about this question, what is the way to influence the player without affecting the underlying data, it must be a strong attraction to the player, and it must not have a direct impact on the player's character.

"Hmm...... Do you think this will work," creative planner Zhou Jiarui thought for a while, and said to everyone: "I think it's not easy to adjust the sect directly, if you add something to the sects of 'Ten Thousand Cults' and 'Ghost King Banner', so that players feel that it is more worthwhile to join, then after a long time, these four sects will inevitably slowly surpass the top five sects such as 'Divine Arrow Gate' and 'Hundred Flowers Valley'. Baihua Valley' and other sects added something, so they still fell into the situation of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall. I think it's better to put more effort into the sects than this. ”

"Oh, tell me more, how does it work?" Lu Yongcheng felt that Zhou Jiarui was very reasonable, so he made a gesture of encouragement to him.

"Hmm...... I'm also inspired by this, so please correct me more. Zhou Jiarui was modest, and then continued: "Since a single sect is not easy to operate, we can consider these sects as a whole. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the princes of the world were in turmoil, the correct strategy for the weaker forces should be to find allies and enhance their own strength. We can learn from ......"

According to Zhou Jiarui, the strength of the current nine major sects is strong and weak, and he believes that it is possible to consider adding a sect relationship system, for example, the relationship between sects can have states such as "alliance", "friendliness", "peace", "sinister", "hostile", etc., which can be adjusted through some specific sect tasks. As for the sect itself, it was originally set up with a sect reputation, with three camps of "evil", "neutrality", and "goodness", "Shenjian Gate", "Qingshan School", "Jiantianguan" and "Five Tiger Gates" belonging to the good camp, "Baihua Valley" and "Leimen Fort" belonging to the neutral camp, and "Ten Thousand Cults", "Fengtianhui" and "Ghost King Banner" belonging to the evil camp.

The originally envisioned sect war was more like a battle between camps, but Zhou Jiarui thought that it could make it more complicated, such as the "Ten Thousand Cults", "Fengtian Society" and "Ghost King Banner" became allied through sect tasks, or were in an alliance state from the beginning, while the "Divine Arrow Gate", "Qingshan Sect", "Jiantianguan" and "Five Tiger Gates" became "sinister" and even hostile because of other people's troubles, that is to say, due to the civil strife of the good camp, the evil camp can gather into a fist to fight a certain sect.

"But how can the sect state restrict the player's actions?" After listening to Zhou Jiarui's introduction, mission planner Vivien Li felt that there seemed to be something she hadn't considered.

"There's a way to do that." System planner Song Jiale touched his nose and said: "We can add some processing to the system, such as according to the relationship between the sects, the system dynamically adjusts the task release, when the two sects are in a 'sinister' or 'hostile' state, some tasks for each other will be automatically released, such as eliminating players or sect NPCs of a specific level of the opponent, and even directly setting the sect in the 'hostile' state to a state of war, that is, the hostile sects can conduct free PK between them." And this adjustment is made by the sect leader NPC, in fact, it is directly adjusted by the game server, and the player can only change the sect relationship through special tasks to indirectly influence, unless the player sect is opened in the future. ”

"Oh, if that's the case," Vivien Li felt as if her mind had suddenly opened up, and she thought of the setting of the task: "You can consider designing the task like this, such as adding sowing discord to the sect task, or a similar task, through which the relationship between the two sects can be destroyed, and in turn, the sect that is provoked can add the task of exposing the truth, which can be used to mend the relationship between sects." ”

"I don't think it's enough to rely on the mission, I have to add some code." Zhao Shijie, the props planner, also spoke at this time: "We are going to open the weapon forging system, so we can consider it this way, the forging of special weapons of the sect requires 10 kinds of special items, and the nine major sects can only have 2~3 of them, which means that any sect that wants to forge special weapons must either trade with other sects or use direct attack methods to plunder." ”

"Actually, I think we can refer to strategy games, such as diplomacy in the Three Kingdoms game, we can also add state machine dynamic jumps in the game, and use the political and economic model ......method," the main program Sun Zhifeng interjected at this time, although he is playing program, but he is also very interested in planning.

……

"Okay, let's talk about the balance between sects first, Zhou Jiarui's proposal process will first evaluate the possibility of implementation, and then we will discuss the specific implementation plan." Lu Yongcheng knocked on the conference table, and after attracting everyone's attention, he continued: "Fengyun Network is going to ask us to add a sect war in this version update, let's discuss how to achieve it." ”

"If you want me to say, if you want to put it simply, make a landmark building, such as a sect stone or something, as long as it is defeated, even if the sect war is lost, it is easy to deal with it." The main program, Sun Zhifeng, spoke first.

"It's too simple, and it doesn't reflect the characteristics of going out to fight at all." The main planner Lei Yin objected: "I think it is necessary to add some other content to enrich the sect war, instead of just a large group of people huddled together and smashed stones." ”

"Since we are going to add the content of the sect war, are we considering adding some things about sect management?" Zhou Jiarui scratched his head, glanced at everyone, and said, "Hmm...... For example, adding some special buildings of the sect can be built with certain resources, and will bring certain benefits to the sect, such as building a sect medicine garden, you can grow some medicinal materials in the game by yourself, and then process them into medicines in the sect's pharmacy, for example, some special buildings can provide defensive NPCs or provide offensive and defensive bonuses for sect defenders......"

"I agree with Zhou Jiarui that it is not particularly difficult to add these features according to the current game architecture." Song Jiale nodded in agreement, and then said: "We can also add a special building, such as the head gatehouse, or something else, as long as it is occupied, it will be considered a victory in the sect war." As for occupation, it can be set so that only one party spends ten minutes in a room, and the building is considered occupied. Or you can use the method of destruction to demolish the opponent's head house, which can be regarded as a victory in the sect war, and you can even directly erase the opponent's sect......"

"It's not too difficult to achieve the occupation, but you need to determine a suitable way to occupy it first, so that the attacker cannot achieve the goal, and the defender cannot suffer too much." Program Wu Baojun frowned, and said: "It's that this requirement for destruction is a bit difficult, and it's not impossible to achieve it, that is, you can only use the form of a blood bar to simulate the process of being destroyed, and then wait until the blood bar bottoms out and directly erase the building, you can only use this workaround, otherwise you have to make a big change to the system." ”

"In that case, simply treat the sect as a small city, but don't design the city walls, otherwise it will be too difficult for the attacking side." After Vivien Leigh finished speaking, the conversation changed: "Do we also have to consider those who are not interested in PK, if the sect war develops in the future, it is likely to evolve into a server-wide melee, so that many people who don't like PK will not be able to play the game for a while, at most they will be in a daze in the city after going online." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, maybe PK or something is both hot and exciting for men, but after all, there are still some people who don't like PK every day. Now there are generally only small-scale melee or organized guild battles in "Legend", according to the news fed back by Fengyun Network, some players have been affected, and once the sect war is opened, "Legend" will definitely become more bloody, which is more peace-loving and dislike PK players, there is no place to go, so help them think about it in advance.

"Hey!" Executive planner Chen Chen suddenly thought of an idea, and he immediately said it: "We can make a safe map, an area that is the same as the current game world, as if it is a complete mirror image of the current game area, but PK is not allowed in it, and no battles between players are allowed, so that during the war, those players who don't like PK will have a place to go, they can still fight monsters and upgrade, and they can still run around to complete tasks." ”

"Chen Chen's idea is good, but I don't know if the program is good to implement?" Lei Yin turned his gaze to Sun Zhifeng, the main program sitting opposite him, waiting for the other party's answer.

"That's fine, you can do it with a little tweaking, but you need to decide how to handle this map first, whether it's open for a long time, or if it's only open when sect wars happen." Sun Zhifeng replied.

"In that case, can we consider doing some hidden missions for this kind of map that won't be open for a long time?" Zhou Jiarui talked eloquently while making associations: "For example, the clues or items of certain tasks can only be found in this mirror world, for example, the immortal quest we are about to launch, is it a special map of the corresponding process." We can even design maps that can only be opened at certain times or under certain conditions, with special NPCs or special items that can be found to solve puzzles or other purposes......"

"yes, I think so, too." Vivien Leigh agreed: "We can use this feature to design some hidden missions to make the game more fun......"

……

"Well, that's pretty good." Lu Yongcheng looked at the people who were talking freely, and nodded with satisfaction: "Next, Lei Yin will summarize some of the ideas mentioned by everyone today, I hope you can come up with a formal plan within three days, let's communicate together to see if there is anything that needs to be modified, and then determine the plan for the version update as soon as possible, our time is only two months, everyone must hurry up and dismiss the meeting." ”

Everyone agreed, then packed up their things and got up to leave......
