Chapter 964: No Compromise
Of course, there will be no plague in the game, but there must be bugs!
Zhang Shuai didn't understand this sentence at this time.
But soon.
That night, when the plague bug was discovered by countless players, it began to spread to one city after another.
The disaster caused by this bug.
It has completely become an unprecedented plague in the game of Warcraft.
No city has been spared.
The same.
No district server has been spared.
This disaster comes from a bug in the bottom code of the World of Warcraft update, so no matter what you do, there is no way to avoid a code error this time.
Truly terrifying.
The spread of this plague has attracted the attention of countless players, and even from the beginning of the American server, it has begun to expand to various regional servers around the world, and even the national server has not been spared.
What was once the safest city, overnight, suddenly turned into the most terrible hell.
Just walk into the city.
Immediately plunged into a never-ending death, the plague has infected all player cities, and the constant respawn of death makes it seem like the debuff will never go away.
To know.
It's just a game, but the cost of dying a player is huge, both in terms of equipment durability and player experience, for most players.
It's all a matter of popularity.
In this case, the players began to polarize.
Some people think that this event is not a bug or something, but the authenticity of the game, and they are keen on it, and some even study how to spread the plague when they have nothing to do one day.
Of course, only a small number of people have this idea.
More people are actually very distressed about their death for no reason, and some people even die a few times and simply don't bother to play the game.
After all.
For most people, playing games isn't about the pursuit of infinite death and rebirth.
In such a situation.
In all major regions of the world, the online rate of World of Warcraft players has dropped rapidly, and similarly, a large number of complaints have also poured in like snowflakes.
Blizzard, as a game company, naturally noticed this problem for the first time.
After all.
This is their main game now, and in fact they had already discovered the problem just an hour before the plague bug appeared.
But.
At that time, no one took it seriously.
After all, this seems to be a very simple thing, and there are even people within the company who think that it is actually a good thing to add fun to players.
But......
When the situation expanded rapidly, even in just two days, the plague spread to all regions of the world.
They couldn't calm down.
"Rubbish!"
"Are you all a bunch of trash?"
"You guys even told me before that this was a good thing, but now, now you look at what our active player stats look like?"
"Huh?"
In the office of the Blizzard World of Warcraft project team, Quincy was angry and scolded a group of programmers under him.
The scolded employees lowered their heads one by one.
Don't even dare to put a fart.
Quincy saw everyone like this, of course he didn't want to just give up, and at this time he sprayed directly:
"Speak!"
"You bunch of shit!"
"If it weren't for you, how could this matter have caused such a big commotion?"
"Now that the upper authorities are taking this matter very seriously, what's the matter with you pretending to be dead one by one now?"
"You didn't even notice such a serious bug before, don't you want to take responsibility now that something happens?"
"That ......" finally someone stopped being silent, and muttered at this time: "We said before that this version is not perfect, and it will take at least a month to test and perfect, but if you don't give us time, we can't help it......"
"What did you say?" Quincy's face suddenly turned cold.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Being stared at like this by his own leader, that person's courage suddenly disappeared cleanly, and he shook his head again and again at this time.
"Rubbish!" Quincy pouted, "You're all a bunch of shit!" ”
As soon as these words came out, many people's faces turned ugly.
After all, being scolded by pointing at his nose like this, anyone will be angry.
"How?"
"Not happy to be scolded like this?"
"That's easy."
"Then solve the current problem!"
"Immediately, immediately!"
"Otherwise, pack up my things now and get out, do you know how many new employees come to interview every day, if you can't do the job, then quit and leave as soon as possible!"
"Let it be given to the more capable!"
Quincy cursed again.
This time, no one said anything, although everyone was angry, but this job is really rare, and no one wants to give up this job with a good salary and treatment.
There is one thing to say.
In the area of social animals, the whole world is actually the same.
"Okay, now tell me, how are you going to deal with this problem, and how long do you plan to solve it?" Finally enough of scolding, Quincy couldn't help but ask.
It's his habit.
Anyway, no matter what, scold first and make yourself feel comfortable.
I thought that.
This problem, which should be easy to solve, does not seem to be as simple as it seems.
"This bug is a bit unusual......"
"We don't know why this bug is happening, but we carefully investigated and verified our code, and found that this buff can't be taken out of the dungeon at all."
"Moreover, it is also very difficult to eliminate this buff now, it will bring a lot of chain reactions, and we don't have a good way to limit this problem for the time being."
A programmer replied, his head bowed and his face bitter.
There will be bugs when there are programs, which is doomed, not to mention such a large online game, some bugs are even more bizarre, and not all bugs can be easily fixed.
That's the truth.
This time the plague bug itself was unexpected.
According to their original design, it is impossible for this plague debuff to be taken out of the dungeon at all, let alone be infected all the time, and even NPCs will become poison kings.
But now the situation is.
This is how the bugs are created, and they can't even get to the heart of the problem, and it's even a little difficult to fix them.
This involves a code issue.
In such a game composed of massive code, all the code itself has a certain relevance, and it is not too much to use it to move the whole body.
A lot of the time.
Even fixing one bug leads to more bugs.
This situation is not uncommon, and it can even be said that it is a very common thing in this industry, so in the face of the current bug, they are actually a little afraid to act rashly.
"So serious?" Quincy frowned: "You can't solve it?" ”
"It can definitely be solved, but we need time and manpower, and I'm afraid it will take at least 24 hours according to our current manpower." Someone answered.
The others nodded approvingly.
Twenty-four hours is good, and with their current state of having no clue about this bug, it is good to be able to fix it in 24 hours.
But alas.
Quincy did not hesitate to veto it directly:
"No way!"
"It takes twenty-four hours to solve it, are you thinking too much?"
"Do you understand the current active decline of players, if we continue to keep it like this, our players will run out, and it will be twenty-four hours!"
The man shook his head helplessly:
"But there is no way to do this, unless we increase the number of people now, to be honest, even if we are given more manpower now, it will not be possible to increase it for long."
"There's so much to do with this bug."
"There's no other way?" Quincy raised an eyebrow, although he likes to PUA his own subordinates often, he likes to curse people every once in a while.
But that doesn't mean he's an idiot.
He himself understands that so many people say that the problem is serious, and it must not be solved by simply scolding two sentences.
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Someone spoke at this time: "Bug hunters, someone has contacted us about the bug before, I suspect it is this bug, and they said there is a way to solve it." ”
"If we're in a hurry, we can actually ......"
"No way!" Before he finished speaking, Quincy directly interrupted the other party: "What are you looking for a loophole hunter for, we are the world's top game company, why should we find some outsiders to interfere with us?" ”
"This is not interference, this is a rational use of resources, in fact, the three-body game uses such a method......" The man said a little unwillingly.
"Bump!"
Not to mention that the three-body game is okay, as soon as he said it, Quincy was immediately furious:
"The three-body game is incapable, what kind of garbage are they, how can they be compared to us?"
This......
Seeing Quincy so excited, everyone fell silent.
They actually understand.
Because Quincy has had a conflict with the Three-Body Game, it is said that when the Three-Body Game wanted to win the agency of World of Warcraft, he had been in contact with Quincy.
But Quincy relied on her identity and reached out for benefits.
Other agency companies are desperately sending money and cars one by one, but only the three-body game is completely ignored, and when Quincy took the initiative to bring up this topic, the three-body game was ugly to Quincy.
The specifics are not clear to many people, but one thing is certain.
Quincy really doesn't have any good feelings about the three-body game, and even scolds a few words every time he mentions it.
"If we don't ask for the help of the Vulnerability Hunter, we will do it ourselves, and if we want to reduce the impact and losses, there is only one way." Someone spoke.
"What's the solution?"
"Discontinued."
"What?" Quincy was taken aback.
"This is the only way, to be honest we say 24 hours to solve the problem, which is actually a good word, in fact it may take longer."
"And for such a long time, the impact on the game is completely uncontrollable, if you want to reduce the impact and solve the bug, I'm afraid the only way to stop the service is to temporarily suspend it."
"Can't stop serving!" Quincy replied without hesitation: "What's the matter with stopping the service now, this impact is too great, and it must not be stopped!" ”
"But ......"
"Tell you, you have to fix this bug yourself, I'll give you four hours, if you can't solve it in four hours, you just pack up your things and get out, I'll let the newcomer take care of it!"
"This ......"
"Now that I've said that, I want you to bring me good news!"
Quincy didn't give everyone a chance to speak.
At this time, he unceremoniously threw away a sentence, turned around and left quickly, such a big thing, he needed to communicate not only with his subordinates, but also with his boss.
But he had just left.
His subordinates looked at each other one by one, and their faces were embarrassed.
This is ......
How?
I can't do it!
So what can be done?
In an instant, many people's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
It seems to be in the heart.
Some kind of decision was made.
