"Brother Ding, let's go, I'll go and see where you talk about your journey to the west."

and Ding Lei went from the online game forum meeting, Zhang Ning made a temporary decision and asked Liu Xiaoming to go back first, wanting to see Ding Lei's big talk Journey to the West.

"What's so good, brother, I'm depressed."

"What's depressed tight?"

Zhang Ning said strangely, "Isn't your big talk Journey to the West very well operated?" ”

"What's good?"

Helplessly, Ding Lei said, "We NetEase can be said to be the first to enter the game industry, but we are the first to enter, but we are not as good as the king of kings, and second, we can't even compare with the millennium pushed out later." Alas, what's more, it's really embarrassing that our big talk Journey to the West, still under the banner of NetEase Games. ”

Ding Lei was indeed in a bad mood, and even turned over like Zhang Ning spitting bitter water.

Zhang Ning was also a little embarrassed by this.

To be honest, NetEase entered the domestic online game segment, which is indeed quite early. As early as when Zhang Ning began to focus only on instant messaging, they began to develop Journey to the West 1. However, Journey to the West 1 did not achieve much success. There are many reasons for the lack of success, on the one hand, because NetEase did not have enough experience in developing an online game for the first time, and various bugs appeared frequently, and on the other hand, it was indeed because Journey to the West did not do particularly well.

According to the experience of later generations, a year after the launch of Journey to the West, because the operation effect was not ideal, it was finally redone and launched Journey to the West 2, and then it was successful. In addition, the Fantasy Journey to the West, which was launched after 2003, has become a classic of turn-based online games. The question of later generations, Dream Zhu Xian, Journey to the West...... And so on, all of them are imitation dreams.

However, the current NetEase does not have the scenery of later generations.

Although the operation of Journey to the West is okay now, in the case of NetEase, one of the three major portals, especially those companies that were originally just small game companies, they surpassed them NetEase by virtue of a game in their hands. Whoever it is, it is estimated that there will be some depression in my heart.

"Brother Ding, whoever can have the last laugh is the real hero. What is a thousand years, it's just that the table is good now. In the future, I believe that your big talk about Journey to the West can completely blow up their ten streets. ”

Of course, this is not Zhang Ning's lie, the later NetEase big talk, the dream series, that is more than three million online at the same time.

Such a terrifying number, Tencent Games took ten years to exceed.

"Brother Zhang, don't comfort me."

Ding Lei was still depressed.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning frowned, and wanted to go to NetEase to sit there.

"Let's go, Brother Ding, I really want to go to you to have a look. Maybe I can give you a few suggestions. “

Penguin Technology has been able to develop until now, and Zhang Ning has always been grateful to Ding Lei.

Although Zhang Ning also helped Ding Lei, the two have such a relationship, and Zhang Ning doesn't want to let NetEase Games become like this.

Ding Lei's eyes lit up.

yes, why don't you ask Zhang Ning more. By the way, I was too stupid before, and I always thought that Zhang Ning didn't make games, or, even if he did games, he didn't do online games, and he never asked Zhang Ning for advice. It's stupid, this guy is a monster, maybe he can really give himself some ideas.

"Great, let's go, Brother Zhang Ning."

With Zhang Ning, Ding Lei came to the Journey to the West department.

"Brother Zhang Ning, this is our Journey to the West department, and I am now focusing almost on the game."

"Hmm."

Zhang Ning nodded, walked to a computer, and opened the Journey to the West.

"Mr. Ding, give me a number, I'll play."

"Okay, you use mine."

Ding Lei also played a game developed by himself, and told Zhang Ning the account password, and Zhang Ning logged in to Journey to the West 1.

The picture is a little rough.

Zhang Ning frowned, but didn't say anything.

Journey to the West is like this, even if it is Journey to the West 2 in later generations, the picture is also very rough.

There is no task system.

Zhang Ning also shook his head at this point, but still did not speak. It wasn't until Zhang Ning teamed up with other gamers and tried out the combat system that Zhang Ning discovered why Journey to the West failed.

The career system, it's too confusing.

There are many occupations in Journey to the West, which are generally divided into four ethnic groups: people, demons, fairies, and ghosts.

And each clan has three occupations, so that there are a total of 12 occupations.

In Zhang Ning's game concept, he has always emphasized. In the early days of online game development, there should not be too many game professions. Because there are too many, the more difficult the game will be. It's not just too difficult for new gamers, it's also difficult for game developers. For example, how do you ensure that the 12 professions are balanced?

Although, in the later generations of Journey to the West and Fantasy Journey to the West, they have achieved perfect balance. However, the freshman Journey to the West 1, because of no experience, and because the 12 professions are too huge. Eventually, the balance of the game was disrupted.

This is a fatal flaw.

Because, in the decades of the game's history, he told the game developers. The most important thing in an RPG is not the gameplay of the game, nor the background of the game, nor the quality of the game. Rather, it's the balance of the game. If the game is not balanced, then the game is bound to fail...... And among them, this balance has always been reflected in the balance of careers.

Why the system of war and herding is a classic setting for the game in recent decades.

It's not because the War Pastoral Law has any extraordinary energy, but because they contain each other and balance each other.

Warrior has a good blood attack, but it is not long-range.

Mages can attack from a distance to be more powerful, but have less health.

The Priest has average attack and average blood, but it can make up for the lack of warriors and mages.

When the three are combined, they form a perfect balance system.

As a result, in later generations of online games, in order to better set up the entire game balance, the system of war and herding law was established.

It's a pity that the 12 characters in Journey to the West 1 have completely destroyed this balance.

No wonder, no wonder Journey to the West 1 will be redone in the future.

Just as Zhang Ning was about to point out the balance of Journey to the West 1, Zhang Ning suddenly closed his mouth again.

Now is the time to grab the market, if Ding Lei directly returns to the furnace to redo it, it will really give up the original market to others.

No, now Journey to the West can't be returned to the furnace, even if it is to be returned, it has to continue to operate, and after the new Journey to the West 2 comes out, it will be right to return to the furnace. After thinking about it, Zhang Ning continued to play Journey to the West 1.

Hey, why can't you fight automatically.

Suddenly, Zhang Ning found a setting problem in Journey to the West.
