Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 374 A master is always a master

In the old version of the MUD, there was a pet system setting called "Shuang'er". In the graphic "The Legend of Jin Yong", it also has it, but it needs to be decrypted to get it.

This public puzzle-solving task was announced by Fang Jie, which immediately excited the players. No one thought that this game also had a pet system.

So a large number of players frantically flocked into Hangzhou City, planning to get this maid first. Anyway, the puzzle-solving task is very simple, even a novice who has just left the Guo Mansion can complete it. With the current players' strength, they can naturally get it easily.

And the players at the scene of the Zhuang Mansion immediately started doing bad things again. Shuang'er, who wanted to knock Fang Jie unconscious, tried to rob him.

But a dramatic scene appeared. Anyone who made a move against Fang Jie or Shuang'er was instantly stunned by Shuang'er's magnificent sword move.

Fang Jie, on the other hand, kept filling the fainted players with the remaining sacks, and said with a laugh: "In the novel, Vishou taught some martial arts to Mrs. Zhuang San and Shuang'er that day. Although they are not formally accepted as disciples, they can be regarded as half Huashan School masters~ So in the game, the initial comprehensive martial arts level set for Shuang'er is 250, inheriting the "Swordsman" Huashan School head wife Ning Zhong The standard martial arts system~!"

Shuang'er, who has a full set of martial arts of the Huashan faction at level 250, is an invincible existence to the players at the moment, and in the wing room of the Zhuang Mansion, one man is the gatekeeper, and no one can open it. , Naturally, see each second one by one.

"Fuck, Shuang'er is so awesome?"

"If you take her to do the task, it will be much easier!"

"Can Shuang'er know Dugu Nine Swords? What about the evil sword technique?"

"If Shuang'er dies, can he be resurrected? Or do you have to do the task again to get it?"

"Can Shuang'er practice leveling?"

All of a sudden, countless players in the barrage asked questions one after another. They thought they were just a cute servant girl, and it would be fun to keep them by their side. They never thought that Shuang’er would be so powerful. It turns out that Shuang’er is not only a servant girl, but also a super thug .

At this time, Fang Jie answered the players' questions.

"Dugu Nine Swords? No. As I said just now, Shuang'er inherited Ning Zhongze's martial arts system, so the special martial arts skills he currently masters are the elementary mental method "Huashan Xinfa" and the advanced mental method "Zixia Divine Art". , elementary swordsmanship "Huashan Swordsmanship", intermediate swordsmanship "Yangwu Swordsmanship", advanced swordsmanship "Jade Thirteen-Needle Swordsmanship", elementary karate "Splitting Rock and Breaking Jade Fist", intermediate karate "Hunyuan Palm" and special Lightweight skills "Huashan Shenfa" and "Feiyan Huixiang". "

"As for the evil sword technique... you guys are thinking too much, Shuang'er is a girl..."

"In fact, Shuang'er is similar to the pet system in "Stone Age". It can help you fight, upgrade, and dress up. After death, there is a 1-minute resurrection time, and it will be directly refreshed by your side. No need to redo the mission."

"However, there is only one Hangzhou city in the world, one Hangzhou government office, and one Wu Zhirong. This NPC refreshes every half hour, so... first come, first served."

"Of course, if you can't get the mission, you can also buy maids directly from other players. Yes, Shuang'er can be sold, it depends on your willingness to give up..."

In fact, anyone who knows Fang Jie will know that these are another few holes he dug.

In order for the players to grab Shuang'er, Hangzhou City will be lively in the future. There must be a large number of players gathering together every day, and there will be a big fight every half an hour. Players will be wanted by the government, so that the game can recover a lot of the player's game labor time.

One of the key points is that before finding Mrs. Zhuang, Wu Zhirong could not die, but had to walk slowly with his back on his back. The whole process gave players plenty of opportunities to do it. It was impossible to quickly complete the task and avoid PK.

It can be further speculated that if everyone wants to get Shuang'er in the future, they must form a group or even form a sect to reserve the venue. At that time, it will not be a melee between a group of players, but between sects and sects, or even between decent and evil sects. In this way, the efficiency of game recycling can be greatly enhanced.

Then, Shuang'er can actually be sold on the auction house, and such a valuable "game item" must be sky-high, and the game currency has lost its reference value. to a substantial income.

And players have obtained a large number of game recharge points, so they must set up a VIP annual membership for themselves and their relatives and friends, right?

This increases user stickiness. Originally, some players only planned to play for 2 or 3 months to see if they need to recharge. Now they are all annual members, so of course they must continue to play.

Recharge points can also be used to buy other valuable game items in the game, such as public martial arts cheats, talent pills, etc., which are really endless, and can be sold at a discount on 51mai.

In this process, it seems that the discounted recharge point cut off the game operator’s point card sales, but in fact these point cards are ultimately from the game operator, so not only did they not lose money, but it also promoted the circulation of point cards and increased sales.

Moreover, many players will not sell all the recharge points, but save some of them for their own use and use them to buy other game items at any time. Over-issued game cards, the game economy is still healthy and balanced.

The entire transaction and exchange process is actually the official selling game items in a disguised form, but the eating looks are not so ugly, and most people don't realize it at all.

Fang Jie achieved the effect of increasing the efficiency of game recycling, promoting game consumption, and increasing user stickiness by disclosing puzzle-solving tasks or gameplay one by one.

However, the game props obtained by solving these puzzles are relatively high-end, and are very unfriendly to ordinary players. Like Shuanger, once the puzzles are announced, it is actually relatively difficult for ordinary players to obtain, which is easy to discourage players. The enthusiasm of the game, if it is not done well, it will lead to abandonment.

So after the live broadcast ended, in the next two days, Fang Jie's live broadcast content changed from the combat system to the life system, focusing on the gameplay of the life system and "Qian Jing" of the game "The Legend of Jin Yong".

There are many words in it, which have also triggered extensive discussions and deep thinking among players.

"If you are a game novice who is not very good at playing games, if you are just a poor loser in reality, if you spend most of your day on supporting your family and don't have much time to play games, if you are still a Poor students, the family conditions are average, and there is not much living expenses to squander... Then, I suggest that you choose to be a player of the life department."

"I'm not looking down on poor dicks and gamers. What I mean is that God is relatively fair. Don't talk about playing games. If you don't have the technical ability, money, or time to do anything, then why should you ask for it?" How about achieving the same results as those Xueba, local tyrants, and liver emperors? There is no reason for that!"

"Of course some people will ask, I'm short and poor. I've been doing nothing all my life. Am I doomed to do nothing, and I'm not even qualified to stand out in the game? It's not always..."

"If you don't have skills, don't know how to PK, and choose the "cook" life occupation, in the farm system in the game, you will grow crops and raise pigs, right?Everyone should have played games like QQ Farm, right?There is no need for technology at all, as long as there are many friends, right?Making these ingredients into food does not require technology, as long as the ingredients are produced, you hang up and the system will automatically complete the production for you. "

"Everyone should notice that the character has two attributes of "saturation" and "drinking", which decrease by 1% every minute.If the value is too low, there will be a corresponding status BUFF, which will affect the combat effectiveness. If it is cleared to zero, it will directly pass out, and if it is not rescued in time, it will starve to death or die of thirst.Usually everyone goes to NPCs to buy food and drinking water, but it is expensive and has no additional attribute bonuses. "

"The food and drinks produced by life players are completely different. In addition to being relatively cheap, they can greatly increase the degree of satiety and drinking water, and there are also various combat increase BUFFs, Jianghu experience, martial arts skills, internal energy and blood, four-dimensional, etc. The addition of other attributes, and even some top-quality foods can also obtain continuous potential BUFF, making you one step faster."

"The same is true for other professions. For example, tailors and blacksmiths, planting crops, hunting small animals, and collecting minerals do not require any game skills at all. Just collect them. Then there are special maintenance systems in tailor shops and blacksmith shops. Combat players Hang up the durable and fast-losing equipment, you can find all the materials, choose props with higher maintenance costs and directly repair them to make money.”

"The life profession of "Guardian" is also very interesting. Just set up a fortune-telling booth in a place with a lot of traffic, do business with passing players, refresh their BUFF status, help locate players or NPC coordinates, and deduct pen, ink and paper If the cost of materials such as inkstone and hexagram sticks is small but quick, the income is still good. "

"With this money, you can go to the auction house to buy game recharge points, or go directly to 51mai to sell it for RMB. You can experience this game normally without spending money, and maybe you can earn some living expenses."

"If your life skills reach the master level, the rate of finished products and top-quality products will increase, the cost will be further reduced, more money will be made, and the business will be better. Eventually, you will become a god of chef respected by everyone in the game. , Weapon masters can also stand out."

"The world in the game is a river and lake, and the river and lake is actually a society. In addition to fighting and killing, there are also market vendors and people from all walks of life. Even if you are just a barbecue seller, as long as you cook delicious food, you don't need to publicize it, and you can make your business better and better by relying on word of mouth..."

That's what Fang Jie said, and he did the same. From this day on, he set an example and walked on the route of a player in the life department.

This is also helpless, it is purely forced, because the size of the number one master of the Blood Knife Gate has been completely exposed, and the netizens and players have almost ruined it during this period of time.

Now the queen is dead when she goes out, and even standing in the blood knife gate station, she can be killed by some players who steal the spotlight for fun. As a result, the number one master of the blood knife gate is killed by the players, and she is demoted to Baiding .

Fortunately, life skills cannot be downgraded, otherwise the game would be impossible to play.

This later became a meme.

Whether it is in the game or outside the game, every time Fang Jie brags, everyone will say "The number one master of the blood knife sect is here!", "Yes, yes, the leader is the number one master of the blood knife sect! ", "Yes, it used to be..." and so on to ridicule him.

Fang Jie was not angry, and teased each other with netizens: "What the hell, don't look down on people! A master is always a master, even if I am a divination teacher, I am still awesome! See for yourself, my current business has How wonderful, everyone lined up to ask me to tell a fortune! I believe that I will become the number one magic stick in this district in a short time!"

Yes, since he was unable to level up, he simply chose to be a divination teacher in the game. He set up a fortune telling stall on the street every day, and his business was surprisingly good...

Can it be bad, star effect!

After the players go online every day, they make a special trip to the stall he set up on the side of the East Street of Yangzhou City Central Square to tell their fortunes, and by the way, the entire Yangzhou City East Street is set on fire.

Because there are too many fortune-tellers, Fang Jie has BUZY time every time he uses fortune-telling skills. Later, some life players have a whim, and they also learn from him to set up a stall here. First, they can make money, and second, they can follow Fang Jie. There is honor around you.

As a result, Yangzhou Chengdong Street turned out to be a famous fortune-telling street in the game. Thanks to the scale effect, everyone would not look for the NPC Bai Xiaosheng in the game, but come to Dongda Street for calculations. One hexagram, not to mention cheap and affordable, if you are lucky, you can still meet the leader.

Sometimes during the system's automatic fortune-telling period, Fang Jie would pretend to say a few sharp and easy-to-reason hexagrams to the players, which made the players stunned for a while, and then someone would tell the truth-the leader is definitely A hidden "true magic stick"!
Later, fortune-telling became a traditional program in the live broadcast room. During each live broadcast, three lucky viewers will be selected to simply do a fortune-telling and give pointers. Sentence, mostly jokes.

It was not until later that the relevant department warned me because of the strict investigation, that this traditional program was canceled.

Of course, these are all for later.

It is only said that after the live broadcast of the game, in just three days, the game "Legend of Jin Yong Qi Xia" has attracted hundreds of thousands of new players to settle in, and the old players have also gained a lot. While fully understanding the game, I also know the puzzle solving and high-end gameplay of many games, and the user viscosity is higher.

Of the hundreds of thousands of new players who came in, only a quarter of them insisted on staying. After all, carrots and cabbages have their own preferences. If you don’t like this kind of game, there is a high probability that you still don’t like it. At first, everyone just came to watch it Just watch.

However, despite this, the daily average number of simultaneous online players in the game has still broken through and firmly reached the million mark, achieving a daily average of 112 million people, which has become a milestone event in the history of Huaguo games!

As a result, the major media and websites began to make headlines again.

The official media is not very good at setting the tone of the game industry, so the content is mainly to praise the promotional significance of this game to martial arts culture and traditional Chinese culture.

"The game "The Legend of Jin Yong", whether it is the scene, character modeling, costumes and some gameplays in the game, such as the Xiangyang City War gameplay, involves all aspects of traditional Chinese culture and some important patriotic historical events. educational significance."

"The author noticed that although it may be because it involves many martial arts novels of different era backgrounds by Mr. Jin Yong, the era background of this game is relatively vague, but it can be seen from the details of the characters' costumes that the players and NPCs are dressed in Hanfu. This is It also shows that Mr. Fang Jie, the main planner of this game, understands and respects the traditional Chinese culture very well, and he has put a lot of thought into it, which is worthy of praise."

Not long after the official media praised it, the people responded. Wang Letian of Zhengzhou wore Hanfu for the first time and took to the streets, setting off the revival movement of Hanfu and the revival of the Han nationality. itself is positive.

Other media, however, do not have so many restrictions. They have analyzed and reported on the game "The Legend of Jin Yong" and Fang Jie's game live broadcast mode from various angles, but it is not the kind of brainless bragging, but a relative comparison. Pertinent.

The title of Netease's headline is: "A very ambitious martial arts masterpiece".

"Boiling Games is an ambitious game company, and their recently released "The Legend of Jin Yong" is obviously an online game with great ambitions. In this game, any system gameplay is rich and huge , Complicated, and interlocking. Many gameplays and modes are first-of-its-kind, such as illustrations, dungeons, adventures, puzzles, cross-server auction houses, leisure life professional gameplay, full task upgrade mode, etc., opening up the possibilities of online game production New ideas."

"However, such a rich game content may not be friendly to novice players. Too complicated game systems will make players feel at a loss. These game systems are very playable, and there are many on-hook settings that are convenient for players, but they still make people feel uncomfortable. The author was very tired from playing."

"Secondly, due to technical reasons, the maximum number of players in each game area can only be [-] people online at the same time. Although this is already a remarkable technology and achievement, and it is also supported by a cross-server auction house, it still cannot match the huge game worldview and Complex game system."

"Perhaps in the future, with the further improvement of the network environment, as well as the innovation of network technology and hardware equipment, we can allow millions of people to play games in one game area at the same time. At that time, games like "The Legend of Jin Yong" will have more opportunities. The right environment matches that."

"All in all, in the author's opinion, this ambitious masterpiece is already the existence of the current ceiling, but also because of this, some concepts may be slightly ahead of the curve, and it is difficult to perfectly display and fully experience the many wonderful gameplays of the game design. The author very much We look forward to Boiling Group making persistent efforts and continuing to create brilliance!"

Sohu, in addition to praise, made some criticisms from the competitive nature of the game.

"The author originally thought that the core selling point of martial arts online games is to learn all kinds of well-known martial arts in novels, and then compete with other players to experience the thrill of martial arts fighting. But unfortunately, when the game "Jin Yong Qi Xia Zhuan" was designed, It is more reflected in the rich gameplay, but there is a big lack in the competitive level."

"Although Boiling Game and Mr. Fang claimed that this game is not a pickle game, but a task upgrade mode, I personally think that there is no essential difference between the two. Isn't it a pickle game if you keep running the map to clear tasks? ? It’s nothing more than a different form, and I even think that it’s easier to stand still and spawn monsters than run around the map to do tasks.”

"I hope Boiling Games can improve these problems in "The Legend of Jin Yong Qixia II". Maybe 3D games can make it easier to experience the thrill of fighting. Let's wait and see... Oh, yes, it is said that Boiling Games' 3D competitive online game "Meteor Butterfly Sword" "Already in the closed beta stage, it is expected to meet the players within this year. The author is very looking forward to this, and I can't wait..."

Tencent, on the other hand, is mainly interested in the industry model or promotion channel of game live broadcasting, and has not made too many comments on the game itself.

"The leader once again created a new channel promotion model of online live broadcast with great strategic vision. According to the internal data obtained by the author, the game live broadcast has only been opened for three days. Despite various problems, the game is still online. The number of people has increased from 80 to more than 110 million in an instant, which is simply a pioneering work!"

"When the leader set up 51ka and boiling Internet cafes, no one in the industry saw the strategic significance of it at first, but now everyone has learned to be smart. Suffer."

"Currently, Boiling Entertainment is the only company in the game live streaming industry. This industry is still a blue ocean. The leader who created this blue ocean also expressed during the live broadcast that other Internet companies and game companies are welcome to join in and make this industry bigger and stronger. .”

"Ben Goose Factory and Sina have announced not long ago that they will deploy the online live broadcast industry, but they don't know whether they can compete with Boiling Entertainment, which was the first to eat crabs, under the [-]th effect?"

"This reminds me of a golden sentence of the leader: If you can't beat it, just join. I have every reason to believe that with the good cooperative relationship and holdings between Tencent and Boiling, it is very likely that this goose factory will not get rid of Boiling Instead of doing it alone, we will take the form of cooperation and shareholding to jointly lay out the industry."

Sina has indeed announced the deployment of the webcasting industry, but they are more concerned about the entertainment of the livestreaming industry than the channels, and their eyes are mainly on the promotion of celebrities and Internet celebrities, rather than the promotion of games.

Boiling Entertainment mainly cultivates grassroots game anchors. If other types of anchors are really good, they will also sign them. Sina Entertainment’s strategy is to cultivate star entertainment live broadcasts, that is, the anchors are all famous stars or have the potential to become stars. Newcomers, give them traffic and make them famous.

As for the game anchors, Sina Entertainment directly passed and did not sign any of them, because they saw very clearly that the core business of the Boiling Group is games. As an entertainment anchor, there is still a great opportunity. In this regard, Sina has more resources.

Fang Jie is too lazy to care whether other Internet companies will follow suit. If they don't follow suit and eat crabs by himself, if they follow suit, it would be great to make a big cake together. Anyway, the game live broadcast must be in his hands. This is enough, and the live broadcast of other content can be done incidentally, and it is not the main contradiction.

But to do a game live broadcast, it is definitely not enough to just make a game. After a long time, netizens and players will have aesthetic fatigue, and occasionally they have to change the game to adjust their taste.

So three days after the game content of "The Legend of Jin Yong" was broadcast live, on July 7th, Fang Jie replaced the live content with "Swordsman Love I", which was just launched today.

"Swordsman Love I" was launched at 1 p.m., so he said in the live broadcast room yesterday that the broadcast will start early today, so we must take a good look at "Swordsman Love I".

At that time, some netizens ridiculed him, asking if Jinshan Company paid him advertising fees, and the leader did not promote his own game, but actually promoted games from other companies. How grand is it?

Fang Jie laughed: "Advertising fee? No. But if the game doesn't go well and I don't enjoy playing it, maybe there will be a hush money, hahahahaha..."
