Chapter 118: Team Dungeon

"Not whole?" Shen Xixi was puzzled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In her opinion, "Warrior and Mage" is already a very complete work. Aside from adding new skills, equipment, and dungeons, there shouldn't be much to be done in the gameplay in subsequent updates.

And looking at what Zhang Hao means, his so-called increase in game content is definitely not to increase those meaningless things. You must know that the game has only been running for a week, and most players have not even explored 1/10 of the content, and adding these will not help to attract players.

Zhang Hao didn't explain immediately, he took out his mobile phone to open the game and handed it to Shen Xixi.

Shen Xixi took the phone and looked at it and asked, "Show me what your role is for?" ”

Zhang Hao explained: "I didn't top up a penny for this character, and the source of the cards is basically the check-in event, the diamond draw for achievement dungeon rewards, and the free gacha every day. After playing for a week, I got stuck in the 6th level of the second chapter. ”

Shen Xixi looked at him and motioned to continue.

In other words, most of the non-RMB players are probably stuck. Now players are desperate to strengthen their characters. What they can do: either level up their character and equipment, or expect to draw good skills by drawing cards every day. But both of these things take some time. If there was a way to strengthen your character for free and quickly, would they get involved? ”

"Indeed, if there is such a solution, I will definitely participate." Shen Xixi nodded approvingly, and then asked, "But what does this have to do with game promotion?" ”

Zhang Hao said that this can at best ensure that existing players are not lost, but it cannot attract new players to enter the game.

"Don't rush, listen to me slowly. Players are still playing single-player dungeons. You can't pass the dungeon, you can only rely on improving your own strength. Team dungeons are different, even if you don't have the strength to do it, you can still rely on the strength of others to get dungeons and get dungeon rewards. The rewards for team dungeons are very generous, in addition to the rewards of money and equipment, there is also a certain chance to drop skills. In this way, team dungeons have become a shortcut for ordinary players to quickly increase their strength for free! ”

Zhang Hao said that he was thirsty, poured himself a glass of water and drank it all.

Shen Xixi thought for a while and asked, "So how do you combine this with attracting new players?" She roughly understood Zhang Hao's thinking, but she couldn't think of how to use it to bring in new players.

Zhang Hao put down the paper cup, smacked his lips and continued: "This is related to the matching and reward distribution system of team dungeons. Taking a 5-person team as an example, the 5-person team is divided into three positions, namely 1 tank, 1 healing, and 3 outputs. Team quests can only be played once a week. A player can only send one character to participate, choose a location. The distribution of dungeon equipment is in the form of roll points, but only the equipment with the corresponding positioning can be demanded, and the equipment with different positioning can only be greedy. Demand takes precedence over greed. ”

Zhang Hao paused, waiting for Shen Xixi to digest the content of this passage. In fact, this is the team dungeon setting of the epic online game "World of Warcraft", and anyone who has played it should be able to understand it. But it seems that Shen Xixi has not played World of Warcraft, and it will take some time to understand.

"That is." Shen Xixi thought for a while and said his understanding: "If you are unlucky, some players may get nothing?" ”

"Well, even if other players already have this equipment, they won't let it go. Anyway, with duplicate equipment, they can also sell it to the store for money. Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Not only that, but in fact there is a drawback. For example, you have three characters, which are Tank, Heal, and Output. Among them, the output character is the strongest, and the other two characters are weaker. You can't get past playing team dungeons with weaker characters, but you can't get other equipment with strong characters. It's a vicious circle. ”

Shen Xixi was puzzled: "Isn't this inconsistent with your original design?" ”

"That's right, looking at it this way, the team copy is really pitiful." Zhang Hao smiled: "But this is a match with a stranger, what if it is with a friend?" ”

"Friends?" Being a little bit by Zhang Hao, Shen Xixi suddenly opened his mouth, contacted the setting he said before, and quickly figured out Zhang Hao's method: "Do you want players to spontaneously help us publicize?" ”

"Clever." Zhang Hao praised.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Shen Sujing asked in a daze, "What are you talking about?" How did you suddenly come to this conclusion? "She doesn't play much of the game, and she still hasn't even figured out the settings of the team dungeon.

"I'll tell you briefly." Shen Xixi said with a smile: "This team copy set by Zhang Hao can help players quickly improve their strength. But only by teaming up with friends can you get big benefits. ”

"And then?" Shen Sujing still didn't understand.

"Stupid." Seeing that she still didn't understand, Zhang Hao gave an example: "If you are just playing the game alone, when the game launches a team dungeon, you find that you are in a dungeon with strangers, and they always grab the equipment, resulting in you not getting the equipment you want, then what will you do?" ”

"I'm not stupid, I just don't play the game much." Shen Sujing muttered aggrievedly, and then said tentatively: "Looking for friends to play with?" ”

"That's right." Zhang Hao said with a smile: "In this case, the player is promoting us in disguise." ”

In fact, this kind of publicity method is also available in other games. However, it is generally in the form of how many diamonds are rewarded to a new player, which is more blunt. And the rewards aren't particularly generous, so the effect isn't too good.

After listening to Zhang Hao's explanation, Shen Sujing still looked frowning and thinking.

"What else can't you figure out?" Shen Xixi asked.

"I can basically figure it out, but I still have some doubts."

"Which point?" Zhang Hao thinks that he has explained it in detail, and most people can understand it.

"You said before that this team quest can only be played once a week, right?" Shen Sujing confirmed to him.

"That's right. The reason why it is set to be played once a week is to control the growth rate of players, and also to increase the preciousness of team dungeons. ”

"Then there's a problem."

"What's the problem?" Zhang Hao asked curiously. This plan was not a spur of the moment. When he was planning, he already planned to use this method to attract new players. It's just a good time to use it now.

"Look." Shen Sujing snapped his fingers and said, "According to what you said, I think players will have to play at least two or three copies before they will notice its pitfalls, and then go to find friends with them." In other words, it will take at least two or three weeks for this method to take effect, right? ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Shen Sujing said: "But now the game has been running for a week, and in two or three weeks, then the time will not be enough." ”

"What's running out of time?"
