Chapter 87: The Balance Debate
Official Website:
[Today's occasional heavy snowfall, the surface temperature drops to 0 degrees, and the "Winter is Coming" expansion pack is coming to an end, and an additional 10 closed beta qualifications are specially released to give back to the young players who have been waiting for a long time on the official website and insisted on checking in. 】
[In addition, the temperature is cold, everyone remember to add clothes. 】
Today's version number is still alpha0.4.
There is still no mention of alpha 0.5 in the official announcement, only one announcement about the testing of the "weather system".
However, the content discussed by netizens on the forum today rarely has nothing to do with the announcement of the planning team.
Almost all of the topics and slots are focused on in-game enhancements for life pro players.
Fujito: "Mrs. is outrageous! First 2000 silver, then 5000 silver! Plan to come out and take care of your NPC! qaq”
WC really has mosquitoes: "I don't care, shady!" Unless you send me money too! The goblin industry needs subsidies! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻”
Midnight Kill: "The power system needs to be strengthened!" If the axe can't cut the crab shell, it's unreasonable! ┬─┬ノ('-'ノ)”
Debt Big Eyes: "Intelligence players protest!" Strongly demand that the weapon shop add drones, floating cannons! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻”
Makabazi: "Farming! I want to farm! ”
Less calf: "Doesn't anyone care about the angler?" 500 contribution points is too painful! qaq”
Raven: "Hahahahaha, Spicy Chicken!" Fishing can die, weak chicken! {*≧?≦}”
The players on the official website have a lot of opinions, and they are almost noisy.
Actually, think about it, what is the most important thing about the game?
Balance, of course!
In reality, you can optionally ignore the gap between the rich and the poor, but not in the game! Everyone has the same liver, why are you so cool?
Irrationality.
This is so unreasonable!
In particular, the outpost is less than the size of two playgrounds, and it is not necessarily 20 acres, but a brick factory actually has 15 acres, which is equivalent to a new sub-base.
Even if the player only has 20% control, it can affect the balance a bit.
No matter how you say it, it has to be less than 5% to be reasonable!
Of course, there are also players who seek a different level of rationality, such as the Canyon Fugitive Mole, who has been clamoring for a "free trade" system.
This guy opened a special post and rationally analyzed the rationality of a wave of this.
"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you think, a good economic circulation system is a must for a game that pays attention to details. Ever heard of Albion? Although it is an MMORPG, the economic system inside is very good, all the equipment in the game is produced by the player, and basically your class is determined by what you 'wear'. ”
"The most impressive thing about the design is that the cities in the game are economically independent of each other, and although there are auction houses to trade, they don't actively circulate. Players can buy a storefront, open a workshop, build their own equipment, or rent it to players for a fee. The equipment produced can be auctioned off to players and sold to the Black Market. ”
"One of the most eye-catching is the black market, where the equipment sold to the black market will be bought by the 'monsters' and become the spoils of the monsters that players kill. And if there is no one to sell a piece of equipment, the black market will increase its price within a certain limit, inducing players to produce it. ”
"Apparently Wasteland OL is building a similar economic system, but based on my observations, the Wasteland OL's economic system is much closer to reality. I don't know if you've noticed, but different NPC colonies use different currencies! So trade is mostly bartering! ”
"In the later stage, there may be a setting of exchange rates, but this system will be very complex, even close to a 'chaotic system', so that the changes in the economy-related values in the game tend to be unpredictable, and I don't know if the CPU of the server can bear it!"
"Anyway, it's a good thing to be brave in innovation, and I give a thumbs up to the production team for their courage!"
Chu Guang finished reading his post, and the place to learn from it is still the old rule to take a note, and this note will come out if you remember too much alpha0.5?
However, I don't know if the server can bear it, and within a few minutes of this post, a small bar has already come over.
Professor Yang of the Thunderbolt Law: "Hehe, I haven't played the game you mentioned, but my opinion is still the same, it's a failure to let players interfere too much in what should be done by NPCs!" Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and you can never guess where the bottom line of the players is! If I were the director of the brick factory, I wouldn't sell it to the NPC warehouse, and then raise the price of the bricks, do you like to buy it! ”
Well.
This is indeed a problem, but it can only appear in future versions, not in the present.
The cloud player may have forgotten that once you accept a hidden mission, you will cede 80% control to the "NPC".
It's okay to run well, but if you want to drive up prices and sell hungry?
You see if the NPC can do it, you won't be done.
There are so many more options in the game than in reality.
However, this little player's thinking can be regarded as a wake-up call, he can trust the abilities of the players, but he can never overestimate their bottom line, let alone give up using the rules to restrain them.
Even if you increase the shareholding ratio of players in the future, you will not let them exceed 50%.
At the same time, it is necessary to set a closing cordon for the inventory.
Once the inventory reaches the liquidation warning line, the balance mechanism will be automatically triggered, and you just don't want to sell it in your hands, so you have to sell half of it for me.
What, you want to stop working? Limited production? Learn from the Boston people who threw bricks into the water?
Hehe, the orders in the NPC warehouse are non-stop, you stop production and try, the punishment is to reduce the equity [limited-time task] you can't do it.
There's always a way to cure these little cleverness.
Professor Yang didn't know that his theory had already caused a certain NPC to write two more strokes in a small notebook, but normal people probably wouldn't have thought that NPCs in the game would be able to visit the official website forum.
At this time, the people of the cattle and horses team came out.
Fang Chang: "Ahem, to clarify the question raised by Professor Yang, first of all, you can't treat the player group as a whole. It's like eating chicken, some people hang up, and some people insist on maintaining the game environment, right? I don't care about others, but our cattle and horse squad still have discipline, and they won't do things like raising prices in the game, not now, and not in the future, so please rest assured. ”
"In addition, we are actually part-time workers, and 80% of the shares of the brick factory are owned by the Shelter Collective, and we only have 20%. To be honest, it's a bit of a hot potato, and the return is not proportional to the income, and it's not as good as you think. ”
He didn't want to clarify, but seeing that the discussion on the official website was so intense, he was afraid that the planner would reach out and interfere with the game and directly cut the income from burning bricks.
Originally, 20% of the shares were low enough, and the income from burning bricks with a knife would directly eat the soil.
In short, sell a wave of miserable first!
Canyon Fugitive Mole: "You're enough!" Give me! If you don't want to do it, I'll do it! (Crazy)"
Fang Chang: "Ahem." ”
Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Law: "Hehe, you say no, you won't? And what's wrong with the 20% shares, in fact, it's still the players who are running it, right? I still say that you can never underestimate a player's moral bottom line, and there will always be someone who will find a way to take advantage of the loopholes! ”
"For example, I can deliberately lose some of my inventory, saying that the firing failed, but in fact, I secretly sell the warehouse to players in demand through third-party players at a price lower than the market price, which not only bypasses the NPC warehouse, but also bypasses the restrictions of the enterprise account! You know what I mean, even if the book is loss-making, players can still make a steady profit! And it's money that goes straight into your pocket! (proud)"
Chu Guang was shocked when he saw this post.
the groove.
This brother has learned the criminal law well!
WC really has mosquitoes: "Good guys, let's start shooting in reality." ”
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "I think it's worse than mosquitoes!" (bared teeth)"
WC really has mosquitoes: "? What does it have to do with me? ”
Irena: "Brother, you're a wolf. (Funny)"
Fang Chang: "Pattern, pattern, you think you're smart?" Just what you want? If you're smart, think about why I don't do that, and post here to say that I don't do that. (Squint)"
Night ten: "Do you want to come to our factory to move bricks after the internal test?" I'll make you the workshop director. (Funny)"
Lao Bai: "Hahahaha, open beta!" I think the open beta should be fine. ”
Light: "(Applause)"
Fujito: "The plan is big! ”
Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Method: "...... Uh, it's all theory, don't take it seriously, I'll just say it casually, cough cough. (Sweaty soybeans)"
Ye Ao said to me: "Laughed, what I said is the same as the truth." Keep pretending, I'll see how long you can pretend. (Pick your nose)"
Quit smoking: "Dad! Please, give me a chance. ”
After turning off the post and browsing the official website, Chu Guang found that the number of appointments had risen from 888 to 996.
Although the drainage method of the lure is a little less efficient, it has the advantage of screening out a large number of non-target groups.
What is a non-target group?
Professor Yang is a fish that has not been screened out, at least not the target group in the closed beta stage.
I think about how to open and hang every day, use game bugs and planning to fight wits and courage, and be worthy of the games that others have worked so hard to make?
Can't you move bricks for NPCs well?
They all said that they wouldn't delete the files, so let you be t1 and t0!
"I have to find a way to open the B2 floor...... There are still so many small players waiting to move bricks online. ”
It is not known how many pods there are on the B2 floor.
However, there is still a problem here, that is, there are less than 100 players now, and the capacity of the elevator is already a little tight.
Breaking a million or even tens of millions?
Of course, Chu Guang felt that the designers of this shelter should have considered these issues, such as the existence of exits on other floors that could lead directly to the surface.
After all, there is no reason why such a large Vault Facility has only one exit to the outside world, and if the "communication parallel world technology" was done in this Vault, then the first generation of managers should have left him the technology to produce this kind of cultivation pod.
When you can send a large number of "players" from the shelter to the surface, it will naturally be closed beta.
When we can get rid of the space limitations of the shelter itself and mass-produce "players" on the surface, the open beta will naturally be time.
"Summer salt."
Hearing Chu Guang suddenly call his name, the proprietress of the weapon shop, who was sitting in the corner of the wall and reciting a book until she was dizzy, was stunned and looked up at him blankly.
"What?"
"Do you know how to contact a slave trader?"
Hearing the words of the slave trader, the little girl's face turned pale, her hands clenched the book tightly, and her body seemed to shrink.
"You, what do you want to do?"
“……?”
Although she knew that she was probably thinking too much, but where did she open her brain, Chu Guangneng drew a tree diagram on the possibilities.
Tsk, annoying.
He hates guessing the most.
Seeing that Chu Guang didn't speak, Xia Yan's face was white and red, and the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, and the roots of his teeth trembled and said.
"I, I, I, if I don't do a good job, you tell me, I will definitely change. Don't, don't sell me...... Please. ”
“…… What stupid thing are you talking about? Don't you still have one leg left, why did I sell you," Chu Guang rolled his eyes and urged, "I'm going to buy some labor, and ask if you are familiar with anyone who is doing business in this area, and if you have a word to hurry up." ”
This guy is still too idle.
Generally speaking, when I hear that a company is going to lay off employees, the one I am most afraid of must be the one who often fishes. If you didn't touch the fish, what were you afraid of?
Well?
Although I always felt that Chu Guang's answer was a bit problematic, he didn't want to sell himself after all.
Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders also relaxed.
Slowly leaning back against the wall, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Chu Guang, muttering.
"I, where do I know that kind of merchant, do you think I look like a man who can afford slaves?"
"Tsk, you haven't sold it?"
"Who are you and I? I'm a mercenary and not a predator. Xia Yan argued with a red face.
Chu Guang shrugged his shoulders and did not comment.
Is there a big difference between a mercenary and a marauder?
Even the merchant occasionally makes a cameo appearance as a marauder, let alone a mercenary who originally made a living from guns. But it's a very boring thing to ask about the past, and it doesn't matter to him.
"I really don't!!"
"Well, that's a shame, and I'm counting on buying some labor to come back and help lighten some of the burden on my people."
Xia Yan glanced at him, tactically afraid, shrunk his shoulders and didn't speak.
I remember that last time this guy used the word "resident" to refer to those blue coats who couldn't speak, and this time he actually started to use "people".
Will you become a servant next time?
It's horrible......
This guy must have been a demon in his last life!
No, in this life!
