After "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation" was officially launched, Pei Qian and Meng Chang were of course also paying attention to it.
Of course, one of them is in the advertising and marketing department and the other is in his own office.
They were all surprised by the same discussion about the discussion on the Internet, but the points of surprise were very different.
Meng Chang sat at his desk in the advertising and marketing department, scratching his head in confusion.
"What...what's going on?"
"We agreed to update the combat system in the last week?"
"The automatic blocking setting of the magic sword should obviously be part of the combat system, right? Why has it appeared now?"
"No, I have to go find Yu Fei!"
Meng Chang couldn't sit still.
Obviously, after this automatic block comes out, it will disrupt his plan to some extent!
In fact, Meng Chang's original propaganda plan was very simple, and it was still the standard application of Pei's propaganda method: Yang-Yang-Yang.
First, through overwhelming advertising, it burned money and at the same time hyped up the popularity of "Eternal Falling into Reincarnation", making everyone think that it was a large-scale DLC that was comparable to the main body of "Return to the Shore" and made huge innovations in gameplay.
, while accumulating a lot of attention, it naturally also planted some seeds of attracting evil.
Immediately afterwards, the entire content of "Eternal Reincarnation" was divided into four parts. The first three parts first updated the game's new maps and new monsters, and finally updated the most critical "key" of the combat system, combining the previous content.
All connected in series.
Although the entire game length and volume of "Eternal Fall" is similar to that of "Return to the Shore", the scenes, monsters, etc. are all modified from the original materials, which can easily cause players to feel like they have "reskinned" the game.
Feel.
And "changing skin" can often be equated with "perfunctory".
In the first week, players may not be so dissatisfied, and they are still looking forward to the content that follows.
By the second and third weeks, the players found that the same old stuff was coming back and forth, and their emotions would definitely get a little out of control.
What's more, without updating the combat system, the mobs and bosses in the entire map are still equivalent to higher values than before.
Send red envelopes to everyone! Now you can get red envelopes by going to the WeChat public account [Book Fan Base].
Originally, the value of "Return to the Shore" was already at the limit that players can bear. Now that the value has been raised again, without the blessing of the new combat system, it is almost difficult for players to have fun.
It may even cause confrontation between some hard-core players, loyal players and ordinary players. For example, hard-core players ridicule ordinary players for being too good and not worthy of playing, and ordinary players vent their anger on the game itself.
In this way, the controversy over "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation" will inevitably continue to accumulate.
In the last week, a new combat system has been updated. Players will suddenly discover that "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation" is not just a simple reskin. This combat system really has the power to transform decay into a magical one.
Another game completely different from "Return to the Shore"!
At that time, Meng Chang had already received a high commission, so he walked away and hid his name.
All the subsequent surging popularity and players' praise for the game were reserved for Mr. Pei.
Of course, at this time, Qiao Laoshi or Tian Gongzi's interpretation of the game's connotations, such as the setting of the magic sword, improvements to the new combat system, various changes in the plot, etc. are indispensable.
Meng Chang originally thought that his plan was perfect, but he never expected that something went wrong in the first week of going online!
The secret of this magic sword was revealed as soon as it came out. Doesn't it mean to the players that the game has a brand new combat mechanism?
How can we accumulate players’ dissatisfaction then?
When the combat system is updated, will it still be so amazing?
If players always believe that "Eternal Reincarnation" will never disappoint, and even find more suspense in the process of constantly exploring the game content, they will always maintain their expectations for this DLC...
So Meng Chang shouldn't expect to get a commission, even if he does get it, it will definitely not be much.
Therefore, Meng Chang was very anxious.
He immediately stood up and prepared to go to Tengda Games to ask Yu Fei what was going on, and at the same time think carefully about whether there was any remedy.
…
The advertising and marketing department and Tenda Game Department were both at Shenhua Haojing, and Meng Chang arrived soon.
He went straight to Yu Fei who was working and explained his purpose.
"Ah? Demon sword?" Yu Fei scratched his head in surprise.
Obviously, he did not grasp the relevant situation clearly.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask the designer in charge."
Yu Fei didn't dare to neglect and immediately got up to check.
After all, Yu Fei had previously promised that he would cooperate with Meng Chang's publicity work, but something went wrong in the first week, which made him feel very embarrassed.
After about ten minutes, Yu Fei finally found out the situation and came back.
"I'm so sorry!"
"That's it, Brother Meng. When I was working on the update plan and splitting the game content, I just wrote that the combat system part would be included in the final update content."
"But something went wrong during the specific implementation. The automatic blocking mechanism of the magic sword was a relatively independent underlying design when it was produced, so the colleague who was responsible for splitting the game forgot to split it out. After all, my
This point was not spelled out in detail in the plan..."
"Brother Meng, what do you think we should do?"
Yu Fei's face was full of guilt.
He had just been planning as the class leader for a month. He originally thought this job was quite easy, but he didn't expect that he had just made a slightly larger plan and got into trouble!
Strictly speaking, this is indeed his responsibility as the chief designer.
Because the designer below has a lot of work, he will definitely follow his plan strictly when completing the task. As the chief designer, Yu Fei should have realized the specialness of the automatic blocking mechanism of the magic sword at the first time, and included it in the plan
Write down the handling method of this mechanism separately, so that the current situation will not occur.
Since he, the chief designer, did not write it, he naturally shares the responsibility with the people below him, and he should even bear the main responsibility.
Meng Chang couldn't help but help his forehead.
This is a bit painful!
It's not easy for him to blame Yu Fei for this, because Yu Fei is just a substitute chief planner. He used to be a novel writer and has only been substitute for a month. He wants him to do all the work as perfectly as Hu Xianbin.
, that is obviously a bit overwhelming; secondly, this plan was shown to Meng Chang by Yu Fei, and Meng Chang was not aware of this problem with the automatic blocking mechanism of the magic sword at the time.
You don't see it either, so how can you blame others?
It can only be said that the automatic blocking mechanism of the Magic Sword is a deeply hidden mechanism. Everyone subconsciously believed from the beginning that even if this hidden mechanism is discovered by players, it will only happen some time after the game is fully released, so
Didn't pay much attention to it.
So, the current situation emerged.
Meng Chang is a little confused, how to deal with the current situation?
Update the game and remove the automatic blocking mechanism of the magic sword?
Yes, it is possible, but how do you explain it to the players?
If you don't admit that this is a game mechanism and say it is a bug, then you are telling lies. Players are not stupid and cannot believe it; if you admit that this is a game mechanism and just put it out by mistake, then let alone saying it will
It will not be embarrassing, it will appear that the internal management of Tenda Games is chaotic, and the most important thing is that the new battle system that has not been updated has been exposed in advance.
Once the players know the combat mechanism of the game in advance, Meng Chang's commission will basically be greatly reduced and it will be impossible to get it.
Therefore, Meng Chang's idea is to do everything possible to cover up this matter.
But he had no idea how to cover it up.
At this moment, Meng Chang's cell phone vibrated.
He took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and then said to Fei: "...I'll go to Mr. Pei's place first."
"Now that it has happened, you don't have to worry. We will continue to discuss countermeasures later."
Watching Meng Chang leave in a hurry, Yu Fei returned to his work station, feeling restless and uneasy.
"How about Mr. Pei take this opportunity to replace me quickly? It just so happens that I don't want to be the chief planner of this substitute."
…
At the same time, Pei Qian was also in his office, running around anxiously while muttering silently.
He didn't expect it to turn out like this!
He had no involvement at all in the promotion plan for "Eternal Reincarnation".
On the one hand, it was because he had great trust in Meng Chang and felt that the commission he received last month was a reflection of his strength. Although the game platform was brought back to life after being disrupted by "Mr. Tian", it was an accident and not Meng Chang's fault;
On the other hand, it's because I didn't have much expectations for "Eternal Reincarnation". I will probably make money, as long as I don't make too much.
Therefore, no matter how this publicity plan turns out, as long as it doesn't get too popular, Pei Qian thinks it's acceptable.
Anyway, when it became really popular, it was Meng Chang who didn't get the commission. The most unlucky person was not Pei Qian himself, so why should he feel bad?
But after only a quarter of the content was updated, the automatic blocking mechanism of the magic sword was exposed, which is completely unacceptable!
As Pei Qian's own tool for skipping classes, he originally hoped that players would never be able to find the magic sword and would have to suffer in the game.
After all, the original intention of such a difficult combat system was to dissuade players.
But the combat system hasn’t been played yet, and the method of skipping classes has been exposed first. How can I persuade you to quit?
Just as he was feeling frustrated, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
It's Meng Chang who has arrived.
Pei Qian asked straight to the point: "How did the mechanism of this magic sword be exposed so quickly? Is this also part of your publicity plan?"
Meng Chang coughed twice in embarrassment: "Mr. Pei, I'm sorry, this is my work mistake!"
"The thing is like this..."
He explained in detail the problem of incorrect communication between him and Yu Fei, which resulted in the incorrect update of the magic sword's blocking mechanism.
Pei Qian fell into silence.
He instantly understood what was going on.
In order to prevent players from finding the magic sword and create a dark effect under the lamp, Pei Qian can be said to have taken great pains to arrange triple insurance.
The weapon damage of the Demon Sword is generally lower than that of other weapons, and automatic blocking cannot be triggered in the dual-wielding state. Players can obtain the Ghost Sword weapon after killing the Demon Sword on Huangquan Road, which will definitely replace the Demon Sword;
There is a limit to the magic value in each game stage. Even if you die multiple times in the early stage, it is impossible to trigger automatic blocking. At most, you can perform imperfect blocking actions under extremely accidental circumstances, but it is not 100% injury-free. Damn it.
Still will die;
Even if the boss wants to pass the level with a low-damage weapon, since the boss has mastered the combat mechanism very proficiently, he will not die many times, and naturally the automatic blocking mechanism will not be triggered.
But these three layers of insurance were all disrupted because of Meng Chang's routine of disassembling and updating!
