Chapter 108: I Know Who It Is!
Mike Harris rubbed his temples with a headache.
"Smack-"
"Didn't you say that the game had been tested many times? Why are there still bugs? Mike Harris asked in a questioning tone, slamming his pen on the table, propping his hands on the table, and looking around, "How many times, how many times!" ”
The rest of the people were scolded, and one by one they shrank their heads and did not dare to speak.
Every week, they get a few complaints about bugs, but many of them are pranks, and this time, they really hit a bug, because in the settings, the player is not allowed to climb up that position.
Although this player introduced this bug in detail and explained the way to go up in detail, the problem is that if you fix the bug, you have to temporarily suspend the service, so how long has it been open? Discontinued again? Suspension of the service will cause a large loss of players, especially after a scandal such as a bug, which is extremely detrimental to the development of the game.
"Minister, I don't think it's a bug, it's just a trick in my opinion." Suddenly, a voice interrupted Mike Harris's outburst.
Mike Harris scolded angrily: "Not a BUG? At this stage, the player is not allowed to climb the position, and the player climbs up, this is a BUG! No doubt. ”
"Minister, can you explain the bug for me?" Thorn, a member of the technical department who stood up, retorted.
"Giving players the real benefit of cheating..."Mike Harris hesitated for a moment and blurted out.
"So the question is, what is the actual benefit of cheating benefits from his position on the third floor? It's just that it's more convenient when farming monsters, and you won't be hit by monsters. Thorn defended, saying, "But does it affect the efficiency and speed of the spawning?" His damage is still that damage, and it's impossible to farm monsters quickly. ”
"Minister, if your outbursts can solve the problem, I welcome them at any time, but now is not the time to discuss bugs and quarrels, what we need to think about is how to give a decent statement that can convince the player, and minimize the imminent loss of the game."
Mike Harris was silent as he bowed deeply to the entire team, "It's me who was too anxious, and I apologize to all of you." ”
"There are actually many solutions, and the conventional way to solve the bug is to block the map and fill the location of this map with the air wall, which is relatively rude." "So don't you worry, Minister, that we can't deal with it, but why don't we deal with it more appropriately and think about a more benign development?" ”
"A more benign development?" Mike Harris thinks deeply.
Thorn is a young stock in the Technology Department and has his own unique set of perspectives.
"Yes." Thorn nodded and said: "I just received a bug complaint, and found out that there are indeed players who use their own personal operations to climb a position that players are not allowed to climb at this stage, I later checked the file video of the game database, found the recorded coordinates, and saw the player's operation." ”
"It's amazing." Thorn said with a smile, "A very difficult operation. ”
"Wait, I might know which bastard dug this bug!" Mike Harris held back for a long time, and found that he couldn't call out that name, so he could only say: "Is it a Chinese player?" ”
"Yes." Thorn was surprised and asked, "Minister, do you know him?" ”
"Nonsense, last time he forced us to make a video announcement." Mike Harris was so impressed with the player that he was lectured by the pros at the time.
"That's amazing." Thorn laughed and laughed, paused and said, "Your Excellency, my idea is very simple, we just don't admit that this is a bug. ”
"Don't admit it?" Mike Harris didn't react.
"Yes, as you said, this location is not climbable at this stage, but after a while, it is a climbable terrain, but... Who knows? Did the player know? They don't know! Thorn said, "So! We just need to send an announcement to tell them directly, this is a terrain that can be climbed, and the method of going up is self-developed, and the default climbing method of the Chinese player is prepared in advance by our game, and the preset difficult operation skills, isn't it easy to solve the problem? ”
Mike Harris somewhat understood what Thorn meant.
"In this way, we encourage players to research and develop the in-game operations, and maybe even develop a new way of parkouring." Thorn said jokingly.
In fact.
Thanks to that terrain, in their setting, it is a position that can be climbed up.
It's about waiting until a new batch of class skills appears in the game, and there happens to be a class skill called 'Rock Climbing' that can climb to this position.
The reason why they think it's a bug is nothing more than that the position that is not allowed to go up now is being played up by the player.
Thorn's meaning.
It's to create a kind of place, which itself allows players to go up, but it depends on the player's own research and development skills, to cover up the truth that this is a BUG, then all the problems are solved, in fact... This bug does not bring much benefit to players, but also provides game companies with some milder ways to solve it.
If this bug can make a player quickly level up, and he can brush one or two levels in three minutes, it must be a second seal, and there will be no room for anything.
But the current location of the balcony on the third floor of the castle.
Not to mention the difficulty of the player jumping up, the income of jumping up is only that the mage profession does not need to bring red medicine, and the wild monsters under the infinite brush with blue medicine will not increase the efficiency of monster farming.
Then simply create such a pattern.
We are allowed to jump on the third floor.
But it takes a player to play super difficult high-end tricks to get up.
How do high-end tricks come about? Develop it yourself and practice it yourself!
Not only does it encourage players and increase their enthusiasm, but it also hides game bugs well.
I have to say,Play this super difficult skill,And just get a no red medicine,The advantage of standing and brushing monsters,Two one offset,It's almost the same.,Let's talk about this super difficult skill first, right? Thorn pondered that at this stage, there were not many players who could use it.
It's too difficult.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a notification to HQ and ask them to send a system announcement to all players." Mike Harris endorsed Thorn's approach.
This was a much better way of dealing with violence than he was prepared for.
At least a virtuous development, not a vicious circle.
