The marketing team of Longyou Company hopes that players will feel the evil of the monster, and want to avenge the beautiful Rogge female soldiers and protect the remaining beautiful women in Rogge's camp.

The effect they wanted had been achieved. Players have made up a classic story in their minds. Beautiful girls are dying in the face of evil.

It's time for a hero to appear in Camp Rogue, and the hero will be played by the player! When you play role-playing, you play as a hero!

By the end of February, Longyou felt that the time had come, and immediately and appropriately began to promote one of the protagonists of the game, "Barbarian". This is the most violent protagonist in Diablo 2, and the way the battle is wide open. When players are eager to kill monsters, advertising this character is best suited.

The backstory of the "Barbarian", the way of fighting, and the skills are all listed.

Players were pleasantly surprised! Substitute for it, imagine that you have the skills of a barbarian, holding all kinds of weapons, and slashing at monsters and saving the girls.

The skill design of Diablo 2 is unique so far. The concept of skill trees is very interesting, and the presence of active and passive skills is also very exciting.

So far, Longyou has entered the concept of "heroes save beauty" into the minds of players. The hero is a barbarian, and the beauty is a female soldier in Rog's camp.

As long as you spend twenty dollars, you can do things that you can't do in reality, and play a powerful hero, of course, players are excited.

But they thought of a very important question again, facing "Diablo 2". What to do with Celadon Technology's ARPG game?

When many people on the Internet discuss "Diablo 2", they can't help but worry about Celadon Technology.

"This time celadon technology is going to be dangerous. "Diablo 2" is really a top-notch masterpiece, and it deserves to have the confidence to jump tickets for so long. ”

"It's good to have it, Celadon Technology is strong in shooting games, and it is estimated that the main focus is on the final chapter of "My Anti-Japanese". The main story of the "Stunning Country" series is the work that really makes a difference, so let's watch it at the end of the year. ”

"The barbarian's two-handed skill is really interesting, holding two axes, a bit like Li Kui. Can Celadon Technology make similar skills? ”

"As you can see from the prequel, the two are not taking the same route. The skills used by Celadon Technology are exaggerated martial arts style, even if it is just the skills of Gu Yue swordsmen transplanted in the past. I'm satisfied. ”

"You don't know. The skills in Diablo 2 are fun in point skills. It is divided into passive skills and active skills, and after a combat skill, there are several auxiliary passive skills. That's where the highlight is......"

"What's the hurry, the news of "Diablo 2" has now been released. Celadon Technology is estimated to have some reference. We'll just have to be patient. ”

Players are torn apart. Diablo 2 surprised them. It's too much fun. It will defeat celadon technology again. It's going to be tough.

Celadon Technology, on the other hand, was calm and silent, which made players even more worried.

……

Wang Buyi also knew that Longyou was publicizing. Fished the player's heart. He was a little curious and went to look at the game magazine. I thought that Longyou International was a traditional enterprise and didn't know how to operate the game. The results were unexpected, and their marketing team was very professional.

The plot of "Diablo 2" is a very traditional Western story, where justice kills evil, and heroes defeat the demon king. As a result, Longyou didn't pay much attention to the final big boss "Diablo" at all. They knew that Chinese players didn't have much feeling for this Hell Demon King, so they found a strange promotional point, focusing on the "Rog Camp" in the first chapter.

The female soldiers who are struggling to support in the Rogge camp, the female soldiers who have been killed, the fallen female soldiers, and the monsters that are eyeing each other. As soon as this picture unfolded, it immediately made people's blood rise.

Single-handedly, to save a group of trapped girls, this sentence alone can make men YY for half a day.

Wang has played "Diablo 2" and knows that the background of the first act is to eliminate Andariel and help Rog's camp.

But after knowing this plot, he didn't think about it deeply. He just bought a plate and brushed it. But I didn't raise the level of killing monsters to the level of saving girls!

Now Wang Bucheng looked at the brief deeds of those girls, and they all began to feel distressed.

In particular, a group of Rogue female soldiers, who were ordered to exterminate the cave where the "corpse was on fire", was even more worrying.

"Doya...... Please bring this potion back and give it to my sister...... Tell her that I can't accompany her back to my hometown......"

This sentence is the last words of a seriously injured female soldier of Rogge, who knows that her injuries are too serious, and the potion is powerless. Moreover, Rogge's camp was short of supplies, so he saved the last potion and handed it over to "Doya" to bring back.

It's a pity that "Doya" fought to the end, failed to kill the "corpse on fire", and died in the cave.

This story echoes the opening scene, the first mission the player receives. Players will definitely be more motivated when they go to the cave where the "corpse is on fire" and do the quest.

Wang Bu looked at this story and got goosebumps on his back. He went to the cave to farm the cave for the task reward. I believe that the vast majority of Chinese players are also doing the same thing, and will not think deeply.

But now that Longyou International is doing this, the motivation has changed. Players put their own personal emotions into their own personal emotions, and wanting to avenge "Doya" and her comrades-in-arms is definitely much cooler than when Wang Buying was playing!

If you think about it a little deeper, when the player turns over the corpse in that cave, the potion will somehow fall out, and the player will be even more worried. It's just a low-value item in the game, but it has become a relic entrusted to "Doya" and her sister by the dead female soldier, which has a deeper meaning in the minds of players.

Even when turning over corpses on other maps, players will have similar associations.

"......" Longyou International's publicity team is really not simple. Being able to make so much money by acting as an agent for foreign luxury goods must be unique in publicity. Even Wang Bucheng wants to play "Diablo 2" again.

Their promotion of "Diablo 2" is absolutely on the point. Set up a simple, easy-to-understand framework that guides players to attach their feelings to it.

In this way, the player's behavior of killing monsters is not just a simple brush, but to avenge the female warriors who died in Rog's camp and protect the remaining female warriors. Compared to killing a boss with a strange name, this framework is definitely more appealing.

Wang lived up to the level of publicity of Longyou Company, considered their design ideas, and then put the matter aside. Continue to adjust the stats of skills.

He did not make any official statements. His attitude is very clear, make his own game, and don't play tricks against Diablo 2. The final showdown also depends on the game itself.

In the game industry, sales are king, and it doesn't matter who steps on whom. Unless he can mobilize the power of the government, stare at the bloody violence of "Diablo 2", and raise the banner of harmony, he will not be able to affect "Diablo 2" at all.

This kind of method, Wang Bubu feels disgusting when he thinks about it, let alone using it. In the face of "Diablo 2", which excavates the fun of randomness to the extreme, it is impossible to use indiscriminate means to smear and mess around. If Wang Buyi did this, he would not be able to face Xia Ci in the future.

Doing your game well is the right thing to do. He's already decided where to go. The most important thing is to do your best in your own game, according to your own ideas, and according to your own standards.

But Zhou Yi and they can't do it anymore. Take Zhou Yi as an example, he goes to the wonton stall to eat a bowl of wontons every morning before work. I met a neighbor while eating wontons today, and the neighbor pulled him for a long time.

Others don't know how Celadon Technology operates internally. I thought that the employees of Celadon Technology must be doing "Stunning Country: Biography". The neighbor was afraid that Zhou Yi would not know the power of "Diablo 2", and introduced the highlights of the game in detail.

"This game is fun and fun in battle!" The neighbor and Zhou Yi said: "Help a group of beautiful female soldiers fight monsters, even I want to play that game." If you think about it, those who often go to Internet cafes must be more willing to play that game! ”

Zhou Yi heard people flip over and over and say that "Diablo 2" must be fun, and then was asked how Celadon Technology's game would deal with it. Zhou Yi knows how this game plays in battle. But I didn't ask Wang Buful, so I didn't dare to say it outside with a big mouth.

In addition, in the past few days, I have always received calls from classmates to inquire about the situation. He couldn't say it in detail, and he stimulated others to break the casserole and ask to the end, which was annoying. Zhou Yi's heart was crossed, so he came to find Wang Buful.

Zhou Yi said with a bitter face: "Great god, the publicity of Longyou Company has been too powerful recently. Basically, what you want to promote can be immediately communicated to players through various channels. Now it's basically a gamer, and everyone knows what the combat part of Diablo 2 is like. ”

"Oh." Wang Buyi said that he knew. He had heard how many assets Longyou International had, but he estimated that it would scare people to death. To be able to grow to that point in the traditional industry, the forces are absolutely intertwined. They can be said to be the top capital will in the country, and what to do when the public power allows it must be very efficient.

Zhou Yi didn't come to ask Wang Bufu to fight a propaganda war, but he was mainly asked by the players: "The players are worried about us, and they will basically pester us to ask." A lot of employees came and asked me if I could tell the players or not. ”

"Say whatever you want." Wang didn't care much.

After getting the agreement, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Wang Buzhu didn't publicize much. And his staff, after getting their consent, began to explain the combat gameplay of "Stunning Country: Gaiden" to those who cared about it.

Turning the corner in the middle, it sounds confusing. Isn't it too complicated to customize skills, use keyboard power, and choose freely from bonuses? (To be continued......)
