Chapter 1465 The last straw that crushes ioi players (monthly pass)
This update announcement seemed to have been issued on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Pei Qian was still at home at that time and did not go online, so he did not pay attention to it.
There is quite a lot of content in the announcement, which can be roughly divided into three parts.
The first part is the New Year activities.
Due to the rapid development of the domestic game market in recent years, many foreign game companies have also paid more and more attention to the domestic market, so Spring Festival activities have begun to appear in more and more games.
The New Year activities organized by ioi this time are pretty good, including a set of Spring Festival-limited skins and a set of Valentine's Day-limited skins, as well as some other messy activities including login rewards during the Spring Festival.
These two sets of skins are relatively well-made, and their movements can be considered conscientious. This aspect should be impeccable.
The second part is routine version adjustment.
After all, it is a big version, and certain adjustments must be made to the balance. Otherwise, players will always get tired of playing those powerful heroes.
This nerf seems to be a regular nerf, nerfing several popular heroes in the previous World Championship. This should be treated equally for domestic teams and foreign teams. After all, the previous ioi World Championship was mainly for foreign teams.
The heroes have been strengthened, and now some of them have been reduced.
The enhanced heroes are unpopular heroes that are not commonly used by both domestic and foreign teams.
Obviously, Zhidou Company is also very confused about how to kill this hero and how to strengthen it. It is really a dilemma.
Continue to strengthen the heroes that foreign teams are good at? Cut off the heroes that domestic teams are good at? Then the intention of targeting the FV team is too obvious. Is it because they are afraid that there are too many domestic players? Do they want to continue to add fuel to the fire?
But if the heroes that the FV team is good at are strengthened and the heroes that foreign teams are good at are eliminated, then foreign players will stop doing it: Who won the previous world championship? The FV team has won the championship and continues to strengthen? The ones that did not win are weakened instead? Isn’t that right?
ill?
Neither inside nor outside is human.
But balance adjustment must be done, and it won't work if you don't do it.
Therefore, we can only treat everyone equally. Cut off the strong heroes from last year and strengthen the unpopular heroes that no one likes to use. Is this okay?
The third part is the FV team’s championship skin.
The reason why we put them out separately, instead of putting them together with the two sets of skins limited to the Spring Festival and Valentine's Day, is because Zhitou Company and Longyu Group are very open this time and have specially organized an exclusive event for the championship skins of the FV team.
This is obviously to please domestic players.
After the previous ioi World Championship ended, many players expressed their dissatisfaction and believed that the FV team had been unfairly treated. Under that situation, Zhitou Company and Longyu Group did not dare to act rashly in order to take care of the emotions of foreign players and could only
We are working hard to make the champion skin good, and we hope that the champion skin can restore some reputation and goodwill.
Now, the champion skin has finally been made. Of course, it needs to be done in a big way so that all domestic players who still insist on playing ioi can see the sincerity.
Pei Qian took a look at the announcement and couldn't help but give Zhidou Company a thumbs up.
Okay, my IQ is quite online!
As for this Spring Festival activity, although it is not particularly eye-catching and does not have huge bonus points, it cannot be considered a deduction, right?
Is it okay to increase the number of active people during the Spring Festival?
"It's a pity that I can't see the data of ioi, but by looking at the feedback from online players, we should be able to know whether this event is successful."
"Even if you don't succeed, there's no reason to be scolded, right?"
Pei Qian randomly found an ioi forum to check players' feedback on this Spring Festival event.
However, after seeing these posts, Pei Qian was dumbfounded.
"Hahaha, you know, it's still the same old thing. Zhizou Company will always be this pissed off and can never expect to bring any surprises to the players!"
"The FV team worked hard for a year to train the hero, and you cut it again? Is there something wrong? It's really just what the FV team practices and you cut it, and you want to keep cutting it until they can't practice anymore.
chant?"
"That's right, you can just cancel the FV team's qualifications, and just write it directly on the announcement, 'We will not allow any ICL team to win the finals'! Then the domestic teams will amuse themselves in the domestic league.
For a moment, I won’t interfere with your World Championship and let other foreign teams compete for the championship!”
"Cut, chop, chop, chop every time. Are you balancers doing nothing? I can do this kind of balance. Anyway, I just pull up a table to see the winning rate of the heroes in the professional competition, and chop the ones at the front one by one.
, can we just enhance the ones at the back one by one?"
"Yes, balancers should combine game mechanics and hero characteristics to achieve balance. Learn from GOG!"
"Sure enough, there is a reason why ioi is not good, and it is not good in all aspects."
"Oh, forget it, look at the main features of the Spring Festival event, a set of Spring Festival limited skins and a set of Valentine's Day limited skins. It's clear that they want to take this opportunity to continue to make money! As before, they just release skins in different ways.
, your games are so bad, don’t you have any ideas in mind? Why don’t you put out this skin?”
"But this is not the most irritating. The most irritating thing is the championship skin of the FV team! Obviously the attitude of the FV team is very obvious. Such a garbage company does not deserve the support of players!"
"Hey, look at GOG next door. It's another big annual reward! It's the Chinese New Year, and all kinds of red envelopes are being distributed as if they are free. What is a down-to-earth operational activity? Giving out red envelopes during the Spring Festival is a down-to-earth operational activity!
"
"Go away and buy a set of FV team skins. Goodbye ioi, I don't miss you anymore!"
There are many similar posts.
In short, the whole forum is filled with an atmosphere of farewell!
Pei Qian was stunned.
What's going on?
There seems to be nothing wrong with this New Year event, so why is everyone so excited? What is the problem?
After carefully studying the contents of these posts, Pei Qian leaned back on his seat and seemed to understand a little bit.
If you only look at the content of this update, there is really no big problem. If this event was done by GOG or other games with a better reputation, it would definitely receive some praise.
At least, you won't get scolded.
But ioi is different. These seemingly harmless activities actually stab the players' wounds accurately!
First of all, the issue of Spring Festival limited skins and Valentine's Day skins is completely routine, and GOG has also done so. But the problem is that since Zhitou Company partially lost its autonomy of ioi, the Dayak Group has tried its best to recover costs as much as possible.
I have done so many skin activities!
Although it is not a bad thing to have more skin, if you focus mainly on your skin, other updates will naturally become less.
For a long time, ioi's game mechanism updates, balance updates and new hero development plans have all given way to skins. Players are not stupid, they can all see what this is for: to make money!
It's okay to collect money, but the game content must be good, right?
Therefore, when they saw that ioi released a skin this time, the players had no desire to earn money at all, and they directly classified it as "ioi is cheating on krypton without a bottom line".
Is this still a good idea?
Secondly, this routine balance update has aroused public outrage.
It stands to reason that it is normal to cut down strong heroes from previous World Championships, but the problem is that the FV team has been treated unfairly so much that all domestic players have lost all respect for the Finger Company in this matter.
trust.
No matter what Zhitou Company is doing, it looks like it’s targeting the FV team!
This time, the FV team spent a long time and a lot of effort to train these powerful heroes and stand on the same level as other foreign teams. As a result, Zhidou Company was cut off with a single blow.
What?
The key is that the heroes who have been strengthened are not the heroes that the FV team is good at, which makes people feel very targeted.
Players have no control over what other foreign companies think, but looking at the treatment received by the FV team, it is really infuriating.
Many people can't help but wonder, if it wasn't the FV team that won the championship, but SUG or some other foreign team, would Zhidou Company be so anxious to kill those powerful heroes?
Once this kind of speculation occurs, it will be difficult to end it.
Once again, the comparison between ioi and GOG activities made ioi players worried.
GOG’s Spring Festival event is called “New Year Red Envelopes for Advocates”. The total value of the red envelopes reaches 10 million, and all players can share it with their luck in the game!
It’s about luck, not hand speed. The accounts logged in on the first day of the new year will be divided together.
There are five million red envelopes in total, the lowest red envelope amount is 0.88, and the highest is a certain number of 888 red envelopes.
As for who can draw these 888 red envelopes, it depends on luck.
Of course, according to Tenda's consistent lottery rules, similar activities have certain requirements for activity, in order to prevent scalpers. The higher the player's weight in the game, the luck will be improved accordingly.
The key is this money, players can even choose to withdraw it directly!
If you do not want to withdraw cash, you can also choose to multiply the money by ten and turn it into a coupon for purchasing skins, which can be deducted.
To put it simply, if you draw a red envelope of 0.88 yuan, you can exchange it for an 8 yuan 8 coupon, which can be used to purchase any skin.
If you draw a red envelope of 188, you will redeem it for a 1880 coupon. This coupon can be used multiple times. For example, if you buy a skin that costs only 10 yuan, you will be given a skin and a
1870 coupons until all coupons are consumed.
Considering the price of Tenda skins, those lucky ones who won the 888 red envelope would be able to buy all GOG skins in the next year if they did not withdraw cash but exchanged them for coupons.
Even if you don't even get the 0.88 red envelope, there will be a sun-drenched coupon as consolation.
One is giving out New Year skins to make money, and the other is giving out New Year red envelopes to spread money. This is simply a judgment call.
Isn't it obvious which game is more popular?
In the end, the FV team’s championship skin became the last straw for ioi players!
