Chapter 857: Tigul and Flor

There's also a reason why Flor speaks so fiercely.

During this time, because they were poached by Mars Entertainment, SOE also complained, but they had no choice, people went to high places, and water flowed to low places.

As a game developer, Mars Entertainment's invitation is hard to refuse, and if you add Jester's next game, then it is almost impossible for a person in the game development industry to refuse.

Because Jester is a legend in the industry.

His legendary experience, many of the people who came out of his development team, have now become well-known producers, and even if these people leave Mars Entertainment, they will be hired by many game companies with high salaries.

So, SOE also understands the thoughts of people who quit their jobs.

Although they are also unaccustomed to Jester's behavior of poaching people from them while saying that their game is not good, all they can do now is to do a good job of the game, and only by correcting all the things in the game that players are dissatisfied with and making the game perfect, can they see how Jester ends when his "World of Warcraft" comes out.

After all, striking iron still needs to be hard.

However, because they were poached by Mars Entertainment, they are now also facing a shortage of manpower.

Fortunately, the technical staff said that Mars Entertainment does not seem to be too interested in technical personnel, they are interested in professional and system content designers, which is also the core of an RPG game development team.

There are fewer such people, and there is simply no way to develop RPG games.

Therefore, SOE was also trying to recruit the right people during this time, and later they found that in terms of understanding of games, maybe those high-end gamers in the game may have a deeper understanding of the game than they are designers. A precedent for subsequent design of the game.

So, they want to give it a try, too.

So, they reached out to a few players who were very well-known in EQ and wanted to ask about their attitudes.

Of course, a lot of gamers are happy to work for their favorite game company, for example, in Jester's world, if Blizzard wants to recruit a few people from among their players to work at Blizzard, I don't think there will be many people who can refuse.

Flor is such a person.

He's not a fan of SOE, he just loves RPGs. He felt that EQ was the kind of RPG he had been looking for for many years, so when someone from SOE contacted him and asked if he would be interested in coming to SOE and being responsible for some of EQ's content design work, Flor agreed in his heart almost after thinking about it, of course, he didn't agree on the spot.

He just replied that he would think it through.

Then he went to the forum and posted that post, mocking Mars Entertainment and Jester's previous statement that EQ had a lot of unsatisfactory points.

After all. He is about to work at SOE, so of course he has to show his attitude.

Just as he was about to open another post about what he might be going to do next, he might go back to work at SOE. He suddenly saw a hint appear in his forum text message, which was a private text message.

After a moment's hesitation, Flor clicked on the text message, which he thought was just a message from a fan who was bored with him. When he saw it, he was taken aback.

The other party left a phone number in the text message, and then also explained his identity. He is a person from Mars Entertainment, and he wants to talk to himself about something, which makes Flor at a loss, and when he looks up and this phone number is really the phone number of Mars Entertainment, he is even more confused, he really can't understand why the other party is looking for him.

After much hesitation, Flor dialed the number anyway.

When he said his identity, the operator of Mars Entertainment immediately said to wait and transfer the wire for himself, and he waited for about thirty seconds before a slightly magnetic hoarse male voice came.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

The voice on the other end of the phone apologized for a moment, then continued with a smile: "I'm Jester. Lee, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Flor. ”

Actually, Flor is just his in-game name, his real name is Alex, and when you hear the other end of the phone call him Flor, and hear the voice on the other end of the phone say that she is Jester. Lee, he was even more taken aback - because he really didn't expect that what Mars Entertainment wanted to see him was this legendary person who couldn't be in the legend.

For a moment, he didn't even reply.

"What? Surprised? Actually, I'm also an EQ player, so it should be a pleasure to chat with an EQ star player...... So can you give me a meeting and come to Mars Entertainment to talk to me about the game EQ? ”

Then, Jester's voice rang out again.

Before Flor could reply, the voice came again: "Oh, by the way, your good friend Tigul and I am also interested in meeting him, I wonder if I have this honor?" ”

Hearing Jester's very modest wording, Flor was also a little overwhelmed, in fact, his usual personality is not like this, his personality is very flamboyant, from his active post on the forum mocking Mars Entertainment can know his character, in fact, because it may involve Jester is his favorite designer, his wording is already very restrained.

If he was used to it, then at least five fakeyou in one sentence were indispensable.

"I want to ......"

Flor wanted to say something, but suddenly he realized that he didn't know what to say. Lee Ke is his idol, and Outlander Requiem is his favorite game, and he considers the greatest PC game and the greatest RPG.

"Say whatever you want, I really want to talk to you and your friends about EQ as a player, and even ask you what you would do if you were asked to design a game like this - if possible. In the design team of "World of Warcraft", there are still a few talented designers who are passionate about MMORPG. ”

Jester's voice came again.

But Flor, who heard Jester's words, was even more excited.

Get a World of Warcraft developer!

For him, an ordinary player with an immense love for RPGs! I had the opportunity to participate in the production of an ambitious game!

It's something you can't even think of!

"I'll be contacting Tigul right away...... Actually, the two of us have some opinions about SOE, and some of their settings are so annoying that we're going to report it to them......"

On the phone, Flor suddenly talked about some of his bad thoughts about EQ.

Jester was also listening quietly.

It's actually quite simple.

Flor and Tigul are the kind of faith wars that they use in domestic parlance. Loyal fans of the warrior profession, they think that MT should be a warrior, and other professions, especially paladins, are not worthy of being warriors at all, but during this period of time, SOE's changes to the game are strengthening the ability of the paladin's T, which makes Flor and Tigul, the two famous warriors in the game, extremely dissatisfied.

So. They have a lot of opinions about SOE.

Of course, the SOE contacted Flor, and Flor was of course happy, because he felt that he would be able to correct these mistakes by entering the SOE.

Yes. Strengthening the Paladin was a mistake that could not be tolerated in his eyes.

After Jester finished talking to him on the phone, Jester smiled as well.

Of course, he knew what later generations of players called Flor and Tigul, and there was a long history of opinions about them regarding the Paladin class, since the days of DND games. Even in EQ, they declared that they would never choose Paladin. Of course, in EQ, I call it MONK as my main class.

Later, these two people were ordered by Blizzard and went to Blizzard to design WOW.

Tigul was one of the main designers of the original WOW and was responsible for the level design, while Flor started out with equipment items and other designs and later became the production director of WOW.

Just as Flor is just a game name, Tigul is actually an in-game name, and the real name of this equally legendary player is Kaplan, and WOW was interviewed twice by Time Magazine, both of which were conducted by him.

Tigul was a relatively urbane person, both in his deeds and in his words.

Of course, in addition to being a veteran of RPGs, he is also a big fan of FPS games, and later Blizzard was ready to enter FPS games, and he was the production director of Overwatch sorted out from the leftovers of the "Titan" project.

He speaks very violently, and it is even more common to fakeyou a few times a sentence, in the words of Tigul, that guy drags like twenty-fifty-eighty-thousand every day, thinking that he is the best player in the world - in fact, when he was in EQ, Flor was indeed the best player in the world.

Of course, almost all talented designers have this problem, because they feel that they are the creators of the game, and their ideas, their opinions are absolutely right.

For example, the influence of Tigul and Flor on WOW in the first place.

Especially Flor, when he was a player in EQ, he made a fuss because of SOE's ability to improve the T of Paladin's class, and even directly attacked SOE, saying that if you don't weaken Paladin, he will always boycott your game, and called on others to boycott together, and claimed that the ability of the warrior TANK should be ten times that of Paladin, and Paladin is only rationed to the warrior to heal.

In the end, there was no way to engage in SOE, and Paladin's ability was modified.

Of course, none of this has happened yet.

Soon, Flor took the initiative to go to the forum to edit the post he had already made, although Jester didn't let him do it, in fact, Jester didn't care much about the content of the post.

Because he knows what kind of game he's going to make.

He wasn't imagining an elephant in a blind man's eyes, he had a very great game in front of him as a reference, and he had been playing this game for ten years, and he knew it very well.

It can even be said that he has seen almost all the MMORPG methods in the next ten years.

Both good and bad.

All.

Therefore, it is not difficult for him to make a game with a complete EQ, much more powerful than SOE, much more powerful technical support than SOE, and even much stronger than SOE, and the prediction of the prospects of this kind of game is enough to make Jester so confident.

It didn't take long for Flor to find out about this move.

You know, Flor is a person who never thinks he's wrong, even if sometimes he is really inconsiderate, and his imperfections are caught ~ and he hurts his feet, he will take care of his loophole, and he will not take the initiative to admit his mistakes, let alone take the initiative to edit the content of the post.

Soon someone asked in Flor's edited post what was going on.

As a result, Flor said for the first time that what he had said before was not very thorough, so he edited it, which was even more surprising.

Soon after, he contacted Tigul, who had a good relationship with the two of them, and was even more surprised when he heard that Jester wanted to talk to him about how to design an MMORPG.

A legendary-level big~BOSS actually wants to discuss with an ordinary gamer like him how to make a game? How is this possible!

If Tigul had been in Jester's position, he wouldn't have done it.

However, this idea of changing places made it admire Jester's humility even more, so within a few minutes of Flor telling him about it, Tigul agreed without hesitation, and immediately discussed with Flor the time to go to the Mars Entertainment headquarters.

Of course, all the expenses of going to the Mars Entertainment headquarters, including the transportation and accommodation fees, are the responsibility of Mars Entertainment.

You just need to confirm it, talk to Mars Entertainment, and Mars Entertainment's logistics staff will handle all this. (To be continued.) )
