Among the colorful skill scrolls, Li Mu found a dark golden scroll that was different from these scrolls. He selected this scroll, and a line of words appeared on the scroll.
[King of Beasts: Pets gain the ‘King of Beasts’ skill and have the ability to command beasts. The duration is related to the pet level.].
Li Mu was deeply impressed by this skill, because this skill was not developed by the game planning department, but by the marketing department.
In fact, most people have a stereotype about game planners. They think that game planners are bad guys who try to make money by changing their methods. But in fact, this is not the case. Most of the games can persist for three to five years.
The planners are all a group of people who have a passion for games and maintain their original aspirations. Otherwise, no one would be able to bear it if they stayed up late every day and lost their hair.
Who doesn’t want to make a game with both good reputation and performance like “Grand Theft Auto” and “Red Dead Redemption”, and become a giant in the gaming industry, sought after by players and envied by peers? Although the ability may be insufficient, the heart must be there
This heart.
However, life is not that simple. Ordinary small game companies do not have so much time and money to maintain a group of programmers for them to polish. For a game company to see performance, the company can only operate if it has income.
, so that programmers can be paid.
Therefore, for the 'technical staff' who make games, their position in the company is generally that of a 'tool person', and the department that can really control the entire game is not these technical staff, but the sales staff.
Therefore, there are many types of planning. Some people are responsible for the game plot, some are responsible for the framework of the game, and some are responsible for marketing methods, etc. A game, from the test server to the official server, from the internal
From testing to public testing, many things have changed. Cuts and cuts have been made. Sometimes from the first version to the final version, it is almost a game that has been remade.
Skills like "King of Beasts" are a typical thing that sales planning does.
This is a pure "krypton gold" skill, because the only way to obtain it is to recharge. And it is also a non-replicable krypton gold skill, because it is limited, and there is only one for one server! Only every season, the recharge is accumulated
Only the person with the most money can have this skill in the next season. This skill will appear in the package of the 'Krypton Gold King' in the form of a scroll with a countdown at the beginning of the next season. He can choose his own
Pets can be learned and can be traded to others to restore blood. However, the countdown time will not change. No matter who uses it, it only lasts for this season.
By next season, sorry, this skill will belong to the next king of gold.
In a game that costs money, the effectiveness of such a gold-based skill must be extraordinary. It can be seen from the name, the king of beasts. Pets with this skill can encounter any 'beast monster' and '
Monsters captured as pets have the ability to command each other.
In other words, if two players PK and both bring pets, the player who owns the King of Beasts can order the other party's pet to rebel, so that one person brings two pets.
If you are fighting the beast BOSS, players with the King of Beasts skill can make the beast BOSS stop attacking within a limited time. Anyone who has played the game should understand what this means. If the BOSS uses it in the violent stage
This skill allows him to be beaten without fighting back, and the difficulty of the BOSS is instantly reduced by 90%! It is simply unbelievable!
At that time, the game production department's eyes almost dropped when they saw this 'idea' proposed by the sales department. Everyone wanted to ask if the person who came up with this idea had any brains. Although what we do is basically
It’s a game that costs money, but even games that cost money must have a basic balance. The emergence of this thing completely throws the word "balance" into the cesspool. Whether it is PVP or PVE, with this skill
People are invincible. In this way, how can ordinary top-up players have any fun?
The production department dismissed the matter without even thinking about it. It was a waste of time to write a line of code for such a stupid idea.
However, the boss doesn't think so.
The boss thinks it’s very interesting. In a gold-earning game, why does it need to be balanced? As long as it can make money, what’s wrong with the imbalance? If you think it’s unbalanced, why don’t you also make gold?
No matter how much the production department tried to persuade, the boss finally ordered everyone to work overtime to build this skill and try it out on the test server. If it really doesn't work, just don't use it officially.
In this way, this skill was still created.
Then, we arrived at Li Mu. He was responsible for data balancing. The boss meant that if we could retain it, we should try to retain this skill. Because this can greatly promote the consumption enthusiasm of top consumers, but the boss was not stupid. He
We also know that games are not supported by a few leading players. Mid- to low-end consumers cannot give up either.
So what the boss meant was to make the top player happy without affecting the overall situation. No one can do this kind of fart from both ends. The data balance team said it was powerless, and in the end, this skill was abandoned when the game was officially launched.
.
Unexpectedly, there is still its data in the database.
“Ten thousand taels—gold?!”
Li Mu almost took it. This was a robbery! Even krypton gold had to have a limit. According to the purchasing power of ten thousand taels of gold, converted into the currency before his time travel, he would have spent more than forty million in one season.
With more than 40 million krypton dollars, he has been in the gaming industry for so long and has never seen such a ruthless person.
Li Mu looked at his balance, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and clicked to buy!
I can save this gold! Isn’t it just 40 million? It’s a waste!
Li Mu grabbed the scroll, silently thinking about learning skills, and secretly praying, "Thousands and thousands, just like what he thought, this is a 40 million deal, don't let me down!"
"Congratulations, your pet Panda has successfully learned the skill: King of Beasts."
The electronic voice of the AI assistant sounded in her ears. Li Mu glanced at her with an unkind expression and said, "Shut up, okay?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant. You can tell me what the weather is like today..."
Li Mu rolled his eyes and said to himself, "I asked you how the weather is, do you know?"
When the game cooperated with a certain smart speaker, the weather could be checked at any time in the game and a linkage was made. When Li Mu was working on this AI assistant, he 'borrowed' part of the code and created such a retarded person.
