It was still early for dinner, but it was necessary to cook things in advance, and everyone was not completely idle.

Regardless of whether there are drops and official cash transactions in Xenoreality, the official volunteer subsidy alone can be used to complete the virtual game that has received various fees and taken off.

Reasonable planning of investment and risk expectations is also a routine that modern players need to learn.

Li Xiaoyu wrote and drew for a moment, and sent a list of documents for an investment grant to everyone.

Like many games that abide by WTO rules, even the same game has different prices and marketing strategies for different maps around the world.

Li Xiaoyu called the prices of Yuechenzhou countries and regions to calculate and analyze, and made a simple science popularization for the income rules.

The price of the single pack is 1440 credits.

The price of the double pack is 2780 credits.

The price of the quadruple pack is 3680 credits.

Each version is a regular player license, and the price of the additional volunteer investment booster pack is 2880 yuan, which can only be purchased by a single player. The content of the booster pack is also very simple, basically some original soundtrack, design artwork, physical figurines and other items, which to some extent directly support the official operation of the game.

The only thing that is most likely to affect the balance is a curse that randomly acquires a sleeping seal.

The rules for the issuance of subsidies for each clearance are the base purchase price * streak multiplier + additional rewards - violation penalties, and they are calculated to the player on the day after the end of the dungeon, which can be said to be a very efficient way to earn money without having to travel.

However, this is only for the winners, and for those who unfortunately are eliminated, there is usually only a consolation prize such as an exploration survey grant, and it will only be awarded once if it has accumulated at least 200 credits.

In the event of a serious violation, the consolation subsidy will be deducted as a negative number, and will be offset from the subsidy amount of subsequent customs clearance, which is a clear and intuitive treatment mode with clear rewards and punishments.

Fang Liang opened the virtual community with his mobile phone and found that there was an official text message.

[Description: Fang Liang 1 (+1C) = 3680 + 3680 credits]

The others also received a text message with the same layout, except that their (+1c) was gray, and only Fang Liang's extra number was red, which was an abbreviation of (+1curse).

"It may be the reason for holding the activation curse, which caused the system to settle the money of an extra head." Fang Liang said.

Lu Ming couldn't help but touch his arm: "What does this mean, the official counts the curse according to the number of players?" ”

Fang Liang didn't care: "Who knows, but if I have 5 activated curses, then I should be able to get 18,400 credits every time I pass, and this is not counting the extra bonus of winning streaks." ”

Li Xiaoyu pressed the tablet and sent another forum post: "Obviously, we are not the first to find out, someone has already gone to play the copy with 5 curses, but unfortunately he died in the copy, and it seems that because of some effects between the curses, he has already invalidated his account." ”

"How?" Fang Liang also clicked on the post, and the landlord who bought the booster pack 5 times in one go scolded the official unscrupulous with tears in his eyes, but the downstairs was mostly mocking and suspicious of the reply.

Li Xiaoyu said: "The 5 kinds of curses that are gradually activated, it seems that they have formed some kind of strange law that is completely out of control, and the landlord matches into the dungeon, and will be killed by his own curse in less than 1 minute, forming an unsolvable death loop." ”

"The official reply said that this is a player protection mechanism with normal game mechanics, and once a player triggers the curse of an infinite looping and unable to get out, he can cancel his account by refunding or waiving, and then repurchase the qualified account."

"Of course, people who don't want to give up can continue to play, but it's basically impossible to play normally."

"In addition, the money invested in virtual products such as booster packs cannot be refunded for in-app purchases. Just like many games are free-to-play, in-app purchases cost money, which is almost a way to circumvent malicious refunds. ”

Fang Liang's expression was as usual, and his heart moved slightly: "It seems that there is a price for wanting to make quick money, there are not so many loopholes to exploit in this game, but the source of the curse is obviously free, why do people still spend money to buy the curse?" ”

Cao Zhengfei browsed the forum and said: "Well, it may be because the merchant who laughs weirdly doesn't appear every time he clears the level, and the difficulty of the game copy is high for most players, and the clearance rate is also low. ”

"There's almost no talk of the Mystery Merchant on the forums, and the few players who have been cursed, almost by coincidence, are basically in the same state as we are. Like you, the ones who are activated, are even more few. ”

That being said, Fang Liang also noticed that this game, which opened for beta yesterday, is currently facing a series of public relations pressures, as well as a chain reaction caused by the rather immature game service architecture.

The dungeon is too difficult, the rewards are too pitiful, the curse doesn't know how to activate and use, players want to improve the game experience, etc.

One of the most difficult things to deal with is that there are too many players who have failed the challenge, and the dungeon matching seems to be pseudo-random, and many people are questioning whether there is a possibility of clearing the customs, asking the official to give evidence, otherwise they will be refunded.

Maybe those who are engaged in research in the institute have no experience in dealing with this situation at all, and the PR results just publish two copies that have already been cleared, and the posts are all titled with code tags.

One of the posts is called [ID:Doctor], which seems to be a subliminal cognitive world copy of a psychiatric hospital doctor, and the main story route is to require all participating players to escape, and if you escape, you will be cleared.

Another post is called [ID:Deadline], and the content turns out to be a copy of Fang Liang and the others who cleared the customs not long ago.

After reading it briefly, Fang Liang found that there were obviously a lot of deletions in the content of the post, and the official seemed to have deliberately concealed the logic of the generation and operation of the curse, just simply told a story, and then jumped to the point that someone had indeed cleared the customs.

Compared to [ID:Doctor], the number of replies to the second post [ID:Deadline] is more than 75%.

Obviously, in the end, the group of people did not enter the correct timeline to find the exit, and no matter how they ran, they would be absolutely wiped out.

Fang Liang understood the situation with a slight glance, it should be caused by the difference in the actual number of participants, many people had never played the copy of the mental hospital, which caused the customs clearance post of [Dead Line Building] to receive higher attention.

However, there are also some players who are not driven by Fang Liang's interests, they are more purely fond of playing games and enjoying the excitement and fun brought by thriller dreams, so they will catch everyone who has participated in the dungeon and ask, eager to rush into that dungeon in the next second and become the protagonist of the Best Thriller Trophy.

was about to go offline to lie down in the game cabin, but an official reply post attracted Fang Liang's attention.

[First of all, everyone must understand that all copies are synthesized by subconscious cognitive theory, and we officially understand the courage and mood of everyone who wants to challenge the copy again, but there is a cooldown time for each copy reset, and even the official personnel cannot change it, which is also a necessary means to make the matching queue into a pseudo-random mode. 】

[Subconscious cognition is like a calm lake, and only when it gradually weakens and changes and is in a relatively stable state, can we put the player into it. The lake of cognition that has been stirred up by the player will gradually become choppy, and even affect the actual structure of the dungeon, and we need to wait for the storm to subside automatically before we can re-enter. 】

[Finally, whether it is surviving or failing, researchers also need to analyze the data to optimize everyone's game experience and standardize the research process.] Please also be patient, it is normal to encounter problems during the start of the test. 】

Some players took the opportunity to ask: "When will there be a game main city and game world, every time we go offline, we either directly exit the game cabin, or return to the virtual community, we want the same world view immersion experience as other games." ”

[Official reply: It is expected to open at 13:00 the next day, which may not be the same as you imagined.] 】

Fang Liang cut and pasted the information into a document and sent it to the accessories bar, returned to the game cabin, and told them about it by the way.

The Locust Quartet decided to arrange another dungeon, whether they won or lost, and played another dungeon before coming back to dinner.
