Pei Qian ordered a takeaway and while eating, he considered the recent situation of each department.
"I wonder what the situation is like over there on the suffering trip?"
After Bao Xu stayed to help Yu Fei design "Ghost General 2", he had already left for Shennongjia. Counting the time, the suffering of those in charge should be about to enter the most exciting part.
Since Bao Xu stayed for a week, the itinerary for this hard trip was five weeks in total. The first week was for wild survival with Sa Ziran, the second week was with Bao Xu for wild survival, and the third and fourth weeks were for nearby areas.
The fifth week is about sightseeing at scenic spots and the wilderness survival led by Bao Xu.
It should be in the middle and late stages of the second week. Compared to the "darkness before dawn" of the fifth week, this should be the time when the people in charge are most desperate.
Pei Qian suddenly wanted to see what was going on there, so he sent a message to Bao Xu.
"I don't know if the signal over there is good or if I can receive it."
After a while, Pei Qian realized that his worries were unnecessary, because Bao Xu replied and sent a video.
After all, domestic signal coverage is now very wide, and Bao Xu and the others are not going to a particularly remote place. Safety issues must be taken into consideration when selecting a location to ensure that if an unexpected situation occurs, they can be sent to a nearby hospital as soon as possible.
Pei Qian clicked on the video to view it.
The video shows a natural rock wall. Compared with the specially made simulated rock wall at the special training base, its shape is obviously much more complex, but the slope is no longer that steep.
The rock wall at the special training base is basically vertical, while the rock wall here is about 70 or 80 degrees.
But even so, rock climbing and rappelling in the wild are definitely much more difficult than indoors.
At this time, several people in charge were climbing up the rock wall one by one under Sa Ziran's care and protection, and then descended quickly after everyone reached the top of the mountain.
The people in charge all lined up, shivering.
Bao Xu, on the other hand, took such a video for Pei Qian while standing at the foot of the mountain at the best location.
Considering the speed of his reply, Pei Qian highly doubted that he did not take the photo after seeing the message.
It's possible that he had taken such a video a long time ago and saw President Pei asking about it and sent it to him. It's also possible that Bao Xu happened to choose a perfect position to watch the people in charge suffer. After seeing President Pei's message, he happened to record it.
It's been a while.
But no matter what the situation is, it shows that Bao Xu has chosen an excellent viewing position for himself and is obviously enjoying it.
Seeing Bao Xu so happy, Pei Qian felt relieved.
What could make a boss happier than bringing happiness to his employees?
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh silently, hey, I am such a good person and a good boss.
Immediate reply: "Well done, keep up the good work!"
I looked at the date again and calculated with my fingers, it was probably time for Meng Chang to come back soon.
Meng Chang had gone to Shennongjia with everyone who was suffering from the trip to formulate a marketing plan for this project. In nearly two weeks, with Meng Chang's efficiency, he should have been able to cut out the promotional video.
There is still one week left before the end of the month. Meng Chang will definitely release this promotional video, otherwise Ti will miss him.
There are actually no particularly detailed regulations regarding the release time of Meng Chang's publicity plan, but generally speaking, both early and late have their own advantages.
Early posting is easy to accumulate popularity, while late posting may trigger instant popularity. Anyway, no matter sooner or later, the difficulty of getting commission is the same.
"I don't know if Meng Chang can get the commission this time. I wish him the best."
Pei Qian is not in a hurry. With Meng Chang's efficiency, it will probably be done within a day or two.
Then, Pei Qian opened the forum again to check the status of GOG and ioi activities.
Yesterday, after GOG participated in the 1024 Digital Festival event "Light Comes", it caused huge controversy on the Internet.
The increase in skin prices has caused players to be dissatisfied, coupled with the impact of ioi's activities and the fueling of some people, it has now become a moderately hot topic.
Although some people pointed the finger at Tengda, most players still believed that Eric should take the blame, which made Pei Qian feel a little regretful.
This shows that this crisis is unlikely to affect other industries.
But don't be too greedy, this is a good start after all.
However, Pei Qian was happily scrolling through posts scolding Eric when he suddenly saw a post.
The title is: "Oh shit! The reward of the "Light Comes" event actually has another skin!"
Pei Qian was stunned.
He realized something instantly!
The internal information the GOG project team showed him originally stated that the theme of the event was "Light and Darkness", but after it was actually launched in the game, the name changed to "Light Comes".
Pei Qian originally thought that the name change was because "light and darkness" didn't sound too domineering, but now it seems that's obviously not the case!
This "Light Comes" event is actually not complicated. Special product skins are available in the game mall. Each of these heroes has a light-themed skin. No matter which one you purchase, you can start an exclusive event.
page.
Some daily tasks will be refreshed on this activity page, and there is a progress bar above it.
The tasks are all very simple tasks, such as using this skin to play one or two games and getting a certain number of kills or assists.
The progress bar grows in stages and is unlocked on a daily basis, which means that the day's rewards will be unlocked after the daily tasks are met.
The rewards are divided into seven stages in total, which means that this activity will take at least seven days to complete.
However, the specific rewards for each day are not stated, but there is a question mark icon hanging there.
On the description page, it is stated that this event includes avatars, avatar frames, expressions, return animations, kill special effects and other rewards.
On the first day, I was just given a very ordinary avatar, so it didn’t trigger much discussion.
After all, players have seen similar activities a lot. In order to promote promotion, the manufacturer must sell the skin as the main body. As for the other rewards, they are at most a supplement.
In fact, most players don't care about this event at all, and all their eyes are focused on the selling price of the skins.
Although many players are calling for a boycott, after all, GOG has such a huge player base and there are many die-hard players. Even though the price of this skin has increased, many players still choose to buy it.
As a result, today, after many people completed the daily tasks, they discovered that the reward unlocked today was actually another skin!
It’s the dark version of the light version of the skin I originally purchased!
Many players couldn't believe it when they first saw it, until they entered the game.
These two skins are actually the top skins!
Although the skins of the light version and the dark version have certain similarities in appearance, the overall styles are quite different, especially when set off by the two special effects of light and dark.
Take the classic hero Modeste, for example. In his light form, he wears a silver-white battle armor with an angel-like halo on his head, shining with golden light; while in his dark form, he wears a magic armor with a long hair on his head.
Holding the devil's horns, black smoke rises from the whole body.
This level of change cannot be achieved by just changing the skin, it is equivalent to making a new skin from scratch!
Many players were not looking forward to the event rewards the next day at all, thinking that they would be small rewards such as avatars or return animations. However, they found out that it was actually a skin, and they could hardly believe their eyes.
After reading the comments on the forum, a 180-degree turn occurred in an instant!
"Hell, buy one and get one free? And the quality and special effects of the dark version of the skin are exactly the same as the light version, and it is also the top level!"
"Now I understand why the price is so high, because these are two skins!"
"If it is a general event skin, it will cost 45. Taking into account the first-week discount, it will also be 36. The two models add up to 72. Now it only sells for 68. It is even cheaper!"
"There was a misunderstanding! I thought the price of the skin had increased, but it turns out that the price has not increased at all and is still the same price as before."
"Nima, the rewards for this event are outrageous. What do you mean by 'this event includes avatars, avatar frames, expressions, return animations, kill special effects and other rewards'? You have to wait for this guy's most important skin reward.
Is it okay?"
"Officially, this is simply fishing. Who would have thought that such an event would give away another skin?"
"That's weird. Couldn't it be better to just write it out clearly? Why hide it so tightly? Wouldn't it be better to publicize it clearly from the beginning?"
"You don't understand this. This is the romance of Tenda Games, which can always bring new surprises to players!"
"Could it be targeting ioi? In the past two days, a lot of trolls are focusing their firepower on GOG to clean up ioi's price increase."
"How is that possible? GOG's event comes first, and you can see that the two skins, one is light and the other is dark, have similar looks. They were obviously developed together. This event should have been planned in advance."
"In other words, ioi took the initiative to touch porcelain, but ended up knocking himself down?"
"I can only say that I deserve it! If ioi does not increase the price or even discounts, even if GOG reverses the situation, it will not be a real blow to them. On the contrary, the reputation they earned in the early stage can still be retained; but now
The price increase is a mistake, it’s a complete joke!”
The players were obviously stunned by Tengda's set of operations.
Two top-level skins are sold in a package, but only one is promoted and the other is hidden in the event. Who would have thought of this!
The key is that it goes against the intuition of many players, and game developers have not done this in the past.
Other game developers must be promoting the two games together, hoping that the whole world will know about it. How can they put one game away and hide the other for players to discover on their own?
There is a question mark on the event reward icon, and the reward description only emphasizes regular rewards such as avatars and avatar frames, and also leaves out the "waiting" for skins, which I have to say is very deceptive.
Some players wondered whether this was aimed at ioi, but others quickly refuted it.
Because this event was launched by GOG first, and the skins were prepared early in the morning. If it was targeted, then it would have to be done in collusion with ioi insiders, right?
How is it possible that they work together so well?
But these players don’t know the real situation inside Tenda.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and soon understood the cause and effect.
This is Eric targeting ioi!
Obviously, Eric and Zhao Xuming are very familiar with the R&D and operations of ioi, and this event is a pre-judgment.
The two skins were deliberately separated, and the dark skin was hidden in the event rewards, fishing!
The time limit for fishing is one week, which is 7 days.
If there is no action from ioi within these 7 days, the event will continue as usual. Apart from being scolded, there will not be any substantial losses. Anyway, once the skin comes out in the end, the players will definitely still be really happy.
.
Or if there is an event on ioi, but the price of new skins is reduced, then the reversal of events on GOG will not cause any real harm to them.
But now ioi has not only increased the price of its skins, but also hired some trolls to set the pace online, which is embarrassing!
He was killed on the spot, and the more he danced at that time, the harder he gets slapped in the face now!
As for why the time was stuck just right...it was obviously all calculated.
All reward icons in the event are question marks, which means that the rewards given every day can actually be adjusted.
Give whatever you want first.
If ioi discovers it on the first day and takes action, then GOG will exchange the reward for the next day into a skin;
If ioi discovers it on the fifth day, then GOG will replace the reward on the sixth day with a skin.
In short, whenever ioi takes the bait, GOG will issue skins!
The reason why this event was successful is that Eric completely identified the weakness of ioi, which is the price!
The top management of Dayak Group has always been eager to increase prices to make money, but could not find a good opportunity, so Eric cleverly presented this opportunity to his door.
The top management of Dayak Group did not have a God's perspective. Seeing that GOG had already released all its activities, there was nothing unusual. They thought that GOG's market share was already high enough and planned to increase the price to cut the leek, so they immediately happily followed
superior.
As a result, something went wrong!
The public opinion on the Internet completely reversed in an instant. Before, many people were still boasting that ioi was more conscientious, the skin quality had been improved, there were many small rewards, and the price increase was not much.
But now GOG is just buying one and getting one free, and these people have nothing to say.
Because everyone can tell that GOG is obviously more fragrant! The fragrance is so heart-breaking and incomprehensible!
Many players performed a Sichuan Opera face-changing show on the spot and expressed that they wanted to buy this set of skins.
As for ioi...it can only be said that those who are looking forward to its rise will be disappointed again.
As for Pei Qian, he only had one idea at this time.
I was fooled too!
I originally thought Eric would be quite worry-free. After all, he and Zhao Xuming combined have a wealth of failure experience.
Unexpectedly, this guy was much more ruthless than Min Jingchao!
