Chapter 67 International Service
Lao Huang is so cool!
When he used "Star Emperor" to test 4090 and DLSS 3.0 version in the keynote speech, many foreign players noticed this "special" game.
Yes, special!
What's special is that this is the first time that NVIDIA has chosen a non-triple-A game for a real demonstration, and it is also a game produced by an unknown Chinese studio.
Why not cyberpunk?
Why not Horizon 5?
With so many triple-A titles to choose from on the market, why did NVIDIA choose "Star King" as the new graphics card demo game?
After the keynote speech and the 4090 graphics card press conference, many foreign players opened the steam platform and searched for the game "Star Emperor".
"Emperor of the Stars" or "Lord of the Stars" refers to "The Emperor of the Stars".
This is a problem with the English translation, which does not accurately convey the specific meaning of "the Great". The word "Great Emperor" of the Starry Sky originally meant to cultivate to the realm, but after translation, he became an emperor.
It's not a big problem, though.
Although it is very difficult to understand why "Emperor" is a "strength level" after translation, it does not affect the gameplay of foreigner players.
It's still the same sentence, it doesn't matter if you can't understand the plot, if you can understand the special effects, you can exclaim "wow".
The influx of a large number of foreign players not only brought huge pressure to the server, but also brought new problems to Tianba Studio.
Domestic Early Access players basically know what kind of game "Star Emperor" is, and ridiculed nicknames such as "graphics card sublimation" and "graphics card emperor" are often on their lips, and no one will take the risk to fight for Chengxian Road.
But these new foreign players don't know this.
As soon as they entered the game, they were immediately impressed by the god-level optimization of "Star Emperor".
No one told them that it was wrong for you to have such a brainless extreme picture quality, and you should choose the right game image quality according to the configuration......
As a result, Chengxian Road was lively.
A large number of ignorant and innocent foreigner players flocked to it, ignoring the "danger warning" issued by Tianba Studio, and drove to Chengxian Road with the ultimate picture quality.
This directly leads to the fact that as long as Chinese players see the foreign language ID, they don't want to start the extreme sublimation, and the main one is unexpected.
Especially the undercover agents sent by the graphics card bar, one by one, relying on their graphics cards, and foreigners don't understand the doorway of "The Emperor of the Starry Sky", their faces have been smiling crookedly in the past few days.
"Countless exotic supremes poured into Kyushu, and the sleeping Kyushu Emperor unveiled his coffin one after another......"
The corners of Yang Dong's mouth rose, and he slowly said: "This battle is too tragic! The Emperor of Kyushu relied on immortal weapons to hunt exotic supremes, and the bones of 1060, 2060 and 6700XT were everywhere on the road to becoming immortals. ”
"Of course, there are also strong people with immortal weapons among the Exotic Supremes, their strength is not inferior to the Emperor of Kyushu, and it stands to reason that they can also pass a few moves."
"However, because they have the identity of invaders, they have been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of Kyushu, and their strength is not one in ten, even if they hold immortal weapons, they can only drink hatred and defeat in the end......"
"Please speak human!"
Xiao Lu didn't understand, what does it mean that the invaders were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of Kyushu, and their strength was not one out of ten?
Where did the Heavenly Dao suppression come from?
"Ahem! Foreign players connect to our server naked, which not only has high latency, but also often drops ......"
Yang Dong spread his hands: "So even if it is a 3090Ti powerhouse, under the suppression of such a Heavenly Dao, he can't exert his Extreme Dao strength." ”
Of course, this is only for the strong.
As for those 1060 or 2060 mortals, they had already lost their lives because of their youth and frivolity, ignoring the danger of becoming an immortal.
Chengxian Road is full of corpses, but it's not a joke!
Foreigner players who were fooled by Lao Huang's few words and became interested in "The Emperor of the Stars", how could they have experienced such a tragic war?
"I think this is a kind of self-confidence, giving these foreign players who have never seen the world a little shock!"
Regarding the tragic scene on Chengxian Road, Chen Ba did not feel strange.
After all, foreigner players have never suffered losses in Chengxian Road, how do they know that extreme picture quality and extreme sublimation will lead to such serious consequences?
Even though Tianba Studios added a disclaimer to Chengxian Luke, this thing ...... If you haven't been hit with a graphics card once, who would believe it?
You say that if there is a risk, there is a risk?
I don't believe it!
After they have personally experienced the terrifying power of extreme picture quality and extreme sublimation, and have seen the famous scene of smoke emitting from the graphics card, they will naturally be honest.
But foreigners do love to die.
Although there are already countless people on the Internet, they have proved the great terror on the road to immortality with blood and tears. But there are still some people who firmly believe that 1060 or 2060 can work miracles.
Don't ask, if you ask, don't hit the south wall and don't look back!
Encountering this kind of iron monster, Chen Ba was helpless, he had been persuaded to do so, but what could he do if he didn't listen to the persuasion?
"The server issue is more important."
Chen Ba thought about it and felt that the most important thing at present was to provide stable and reliable online services for the majority of foreign players.
As for the new version update of "Simulator Under the Fence"?
Don't worry, I'll talk about it later!
On the server side of "Star Emperor", there is currently only one "national server" to choose from. Whether it's the Steam platform, E-Treasure, Wegame or even the console platform, they all use the same server.
If there are only domestic players, then this is no problem, after all, the number of players is limited, and there is no need to add new servers.
But now it's time to set up a beautiful costume.
No way!
The current online experience of foreign players is very bad, and they basically can't play without turning on the accelerator, and they can barely play with the accelerator turned on.
Thanks to Lao Huang's promotion, the overseas sales of "Star Emperor" are expected to exceed 100,000 copies, or even higher.
As a result, tens of thousands of foreign players cannot get a good game experience, and they are bound to give bad reviews to the game or even initiate refunds.
"Then build a U.S. server first, as for players in other regions, unless the number of active people reaches the standard, it will not be considered for the time being."
There is a cost to setting up a server.
It is impossible for Chen Ba to be dizzy and make the so-called European clothes, Japanese and Korean clothes, Southeast Asian clothes, South American clothes and so on in one go.
The number of active players in these regions simply can't support the magnitude of the demand for a dedicated server.
Therefore, for the time being, only one American server should be set up to meet the online needs of most European and American players.
But I'll have to change the name.
Although this is the US server, it can't be directly said that the US server should be said to be the international server, and all players can link to the server to play online.
Building a new server doesn't require Chen Ba to go abroad, or even show up in person, and he won't have the luxury of buying a server equipment, just rent it.
The only headache is that there is a new server, and the operation and maintenance costs are further increased, but ......
What should I do if there is no krypton gold in the game?
