Chapter 568 Hundred Ghosts Night Parade
Although Zhuge Jun's video is very short and only shows the battle scene of Major General Bingchuan without more detailed introduction, the players who watched the video immediately understood what he wanted to express.
There is no need to persuade players, but the actual effect is better than verbal persuasion.
Why were the players angry before?
Because no matter whether you draw Li Huanzhen or Zhao Siyuan, the experience in the Kingdom of Thunder is very bad.
This sense of dislocation made them very uncomfortable.
Although Frost and Thunder can also be played, these are old characters that have existed since the internal testing period. Players have already played them, and it would be a bit boring to bring them out now.
But Zhuge Jun keenly grasped another key character: Major General Bingchuan!
Different from Lei Tu and Han Shuang, he is a character that appears in the later UP pool, and many players draw him.
At that time, many players regretted drawing Glacier Major General, because they did not draw Starfire from the UP pool at the same time. Later, Starfire was confirmed to be very effective in dealing with earth elemental shields, which would greatly affect the players' gaming experience in the Land of Earth.
Those players who drew Glacier Major General didn't use it much in the Land of Earth, and they were left with an awkward warehouse.
Xingying has risen with the Earth Kingdom, but what about Major General Bingchuan?
As it turns out, players didn't have to wait too long.
Isn't this the right thing for the Land of Thunder? The era of Major General Glacier has arrived!
The players hurriedly dug Major General Glacier out of the warehouse and started killing people in all directions.
This character is different from characters like Frost and Lei Tu in terms of playing. He is still a new character, so it is still quite fresh to play him.
The gaming experience and numbers are also very good.
Not only that, the players who drew Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan were not so angry anymore.
Because of the incident with Major General Bingchuan, Zhuge Jun’s previous point of view was verified: Don’t care about temporary strength, because characters that seem weak temporarily will have the opportunity to turn around in the future!
Isn’t Major General Glacier a good example?
Originally, players thought that both options in the UP pool were wrong options.
But now it seems that both options are correct!
Take the previous card pool for example, no matter which one you draw, Starfire or Glacier Major General, you can have fun playing later. The only difference is that one is fun to play in the Land of Earth, and the other is fun to play in the Land of Thunder.
The specific situation of the Water Kingdom is still unclear, but as long as there are many water elemental monsters in the Water Kingdom, Major General Glacier can still have fun playing.
In that case, the characters Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan don’t have to worry.
Because in the second half of the Land of Thunder, or certain countries in the future, they can still have fun.
This is what is called "delayed gratification".
Everyone knows that "delayed gratification" is a method that is more conducive to improving long-term experience. When a person is used to delaying gratification in life, he or she can often set some longer-term goals and plans, and the experience of life will become better.
However, if you want to cultivate the habit of "delayed gratification", there is a prerequisite, that is, "the promises made must be fulfilled in a timely manner."
Just like many parents, after reading some information from marketing accounts, they want to cultivate their children’s ability to delay gratification. They always say, “If you don’t eat snacks now, you can have double the snacks a day later,” but they don’t keep their promise the next day.
This behavior will not only fail to cultivate children's ability to delay gratification, but will have the opposite effect, making children only care about immediate interests.
Because children will know that delaying gratification will most likely mean not being satisfied, long-term interests are just empty promises, and only immediate interests are real.
The same is true for games.
When a game wants to allow players to delay gratification, the most important thing is to fulfill its promise in a timely manner.
"It will adjust the strength of the characters and give old characters a chance to have a second spring." This is essentially a form of delayed gratification.
The reason why many games cannot win the trust of players is that they say one thing and do another, and they will not enhance old characters at all.
Then players will definitely only focus on immediate interests and only care about the strength of a character when it is first launched.
Nitiantang is different. They keep their promises. Major General Bingchuan was not popular before, but now he has turned things around, right?
When the players saw the current situation of Major General Bingchuan and then looked at Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan in their hands, they naturally stopped being anxious.
They would be willing to believe that in some future version, these two characters will definitely rise to prominence, which is equivalent to holding a potential stock in their hands.
Be patient and wait, there will always be a happy day.
In this way, the negative emotions of players due to not being able to enjoy playing these two characters are diluted.
Lilith's face darkened.
Obviously, this was not her intention. To be more precise, she was only concerned with one thing and not the other!
In fact, in this version of Thunder Kingdom, it was originally planned to allow monsters from Water Kingdom to infiltrate and defeat Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan drawn by the players.
But the problem is that the elemental reaction system of "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" is too large and too complicated, and the restraint effect between elements is far greater than the general numerical difference.
There are indeed too many characters that players can get.
So that I can always find the best solution from the previous roles!
Looking at these two UP pools separately, there is nothing wrong with Lilith's arrangement.
The stats of Glacier Major General are higher than those of Starfire, which tricks players into drawing Glacier Major General, and then uses the map mechanism to strengthen Starfire, creating negative emotions among players;
Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan are both earth element characters. They go to the Land of Thunder and have fun for three days, and then enemies from the Land of Water suddenly invade, which can still create negative emotions among players.
However, what should players do when they use Major General Glacier to fight against water elemental enemies?
The answer is that there is no way to cope with it.
In this elemental reaction mechanism, players can always find the best restraint relationship. This is also true for all future UP pools. Even if you can target the characters in this UP pool within two or three months, what if an enemy that happens to be restrained appears later?
Isn't it still refreshing?
Lilith's brain was a little overloaded, and she didn't realize this deeply before, so this oversight occurred.
She further realized that similar omissions were common in subsequent version updates of Endless Fantasy Tales 2, and such scenes might be repeated countless times.
What is even more despairing is that even though people have realized this oversight, they can’t think of any solution.
This is a systemic contradiction that could not be resolved when the element reaction system was first finalized.
As for why we decided on such an elemental reaction system in the first place?
Emmm...that’s a long story.
"Gu Fan! What should we do now?!" Lilith was a little crazy.
Gu Fan was confused: "I don't know!
"Boss Li, you set all the mechanics of this game, the main planner is the hard-working one, and I'm just a book seller.
"Look, the effect of physical books is quite good now, right? I have done my best in the area I am responsible for."
Lilith looked at Gu Fan angrily, but there was nothing she could do.
She always felt that she would be in a dilemma in using Gu Fan.
Let Gu Fan take more responsibility, because I always think he is a traitor and cannot be trusted;
Let Gu Fan be responsible for fewer things. The areas that Gu Fan is responsible for are often the ones that have problems in the end, but there are still just as many problems in other areas.
Taking the current situation as an example, the situation of physical books is indeed very optimistic, especially after the side story of the Land of Earth, the reputation has plummeted and the negative emotions collected have increased rapidly.
Logically speaking, all of this should be attributed to Gu Fan.
But Lilith still felt that he was a little unpleasant to the eye...
"Well, since this problem cannot be solved, let's just turn the page.
“Anyway, the game currently generates more negative emotions than positive ones.
“When the new side quests are launched in the second half of the Thunder Kingdom version, the negative emotions earned should be able to make up for the previous losses.
"Humph, we still have our ultimate moves to use!"
Lilith accepted this fact somewhat helplessly.
……
The main storyline of the Land of Thunder is also progressing normally.
Players have switched to ice and thunder attributes to fight these water element monsters, and the gaming experience has been significantly improved.
As for Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan?
In fact, you can also use it to explore the big world of the Fire Kingdom or the Earth Kingdom, it’s not impossible to play.
On the side of the Land of Thunder, the first half of the plot came to an end quickly. This time, the game opened up more than half of the content of the Land of Thunder, mainly to help the Land of Thunder resist the invasion of the Land of Water.
As for when the subsequent plot of the Land of Thunder will begin, when the Thundercloud Volcano will be explored, and when we will be able to travel to the Land of Water, these are still unknown for now.
Two weeks later, the main storyline of this chapter is temporarily concluded and the side storyline begins.
Looking at the only side quest in the task list, Hou Ji felt something was wrong again.
“Why is there only one side quest?
"Isn't this mission going to result in another baby?
"Not really, not really. Against Heaven shouldn't be that against Heaven.
"The previous mission allowed me to give birth to a baby. Thinking about it afterwards, I can barely accept it. After all, judging from the setting of the Land of Earth, it is relatively reasonable for the entire country to have four paradises and seventy-seven spirits.
"There can't be another seventy-seven spirits in the Land of Lightning, right? The world view doesn't fit in."
With a nervous mood, Hou Ji started to do this task.
The first two or three steps are relatively simple, and the routines are similar. After encountering or saving someone, you discover a very serious situation and embark on the long journey of saving the world...
Hou Ji didn't think too much about it, he just watched it casually.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
At this time, the task status in the task list is refreshed and the name of the task is changed.
Although he was not quite sure what the specific task was, Hou Ji almost felt dizzy when he saw the name of the task.
Because the name of this mission is: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!
"Good man, there really isn't 77 living dads this time. It's changed to 100 living dads, right?"
