Chapter 523 is so exciting!

The season mode of Diablo

is essentially a way to encourage players to compete for upgrades, equipment and PVP.

This is a very good way at the beginning of the game life cycle.

As the saying goes, fighting with others is fun.

Although it is just a ranking, it is precisely the ranking that is attractive to players.

Because Diablo has just been released.

Players have no experience, and even players who have built a complete set of mature builds have not appeared yet.

All props, equipment, and content in the game are interesting and unknown to players.

At the same time, there are still many unknown equipment and gameplay waiting for them to explore.

They are very excited and interested in everything in the game.

And this desire to explore will continue until the 150th floor of the Great Secret Realm is breached, all equipment values ​​are disclosed, and all game content is dug out.

When most players are familiar with the skills of those professions and those mature builds,

they will slowly move towards the direction of shaping the fastest "game tool man".

Then the sense of exploration will decrease, and as another "game tool man" is formed, most players will slowly lose interest.

In the end, "Diablo" will become like an ordinary stand-alone game.

The number of online players will slowly decline.

It will eventually become an old game in the mouths of all players...

and this process is actually quite fast.

After all, when players are interested in a game, their subjective initiative will be very strong...

otherwise, players will not have the title of the fourth disaster in some works.

The season mode is actually a means to use the limited-time season theme to let players start over and reactivate their desire for exploration.

To put it bluntly, it is to operate stand-alone games with the idea of ​​online games, and use the season gameplay to make up for the defect that most players stop playing after the equipment is almost complete, so that players can continue to stay in the game!

This plan has many advantages, but also disadvantages.

That is, as the number of seasons increases, the game release cycle is lengthened, and more relevant information is available.

Every player will become a top player, and they will no longer carefully read the description of each dropped equipment, and will not be excited by the drop of legendary equipment. Because they are all familiar with the equipment. For example, in Lin Yao's previous life, if a ring dropped, except for a few useful ones like the Hua Ring, players almost didn't have to think about it and just disassembled it.

Because the game has been released for a long time.

All players, except for some freshness to the new gameplay brought by the season theme, basically know how to play, and go straight to the goal as soon as they enter the game, and then at a certain moment.

Or they have built a set of builds, or reached the 150th floor of the Great Mythic Realm, or the peak level has reached a certain value.

Players will feel tired and AFK (hands off the keyboard).

Then after repeating many seasons, the number of players will begin to decrease.

This is the problem.

Because "Diablo" itself is not an online game, and there is only one storyline.

Any game has a life cycle.

Online games have it.

Not to mention such a single-player game.

You can't expect a game that has been released for ten years to maintain the same popularity as when it was first released.

"Diablo" is already very powerful, and the season mode has been hanging for a long time.

In Lin Yao's previous life, there were few similar games that could still maintain considerable vitality and player numbers after ten years. A large part of the credit came from the season mode.

This is also the reason why Lin Yao introduced the season mode here.

But Lin Yao will not continue this season mode that only provides season themes. He plans to add some new maps and new story lines every few seasons.

As for how far it can go, she doesn't know. She

can only do it first and see.

But in the early stage of the game, she doesn't plan to do more, because the content of the game itself is enough, and the season mode is indeed a surprise for players.

This gameplay will not only not cause problems in the early stage, but players will be more subjective because they are confused by the new content and new gameplay...

After all, the game has just been released, and it has only been released for more than a day.

The first player who cleared the level has just appeared.

Even the people with the maximum level have not come out yet.

Everything is new to them.

And the attraction of being on the leaderboard and becoming the first person in the profession to players... is too strong.

You can imagine it.

A player who has never played Diablo is addicted to the plot and the seemingly magical grinding gameplay. Suddenly, the plot is over, but the game tells you.

It's not over yet.

Next, you have to conquer the Great Secret Realm!

The entire Great Secret Realm has 150 floors! At the same time, a series of new gameplay, a series of new equipment, and new maps are unlocked! Rankings! New gameplay such as season themes!

In addition!

The season is also linked with World of Warcraft!

Although I don't know what kind of linkage.

But the players who have already cleared the plot have stood up on the spot when they saw the announcement.

And the players who are playing the plot and are very interested in the game are also looking forward to it.

Because... it's too exciting!

...

Pengcheng.

The first day Feng Kangshun opened the game,

he shouted that he had been cheated...

But after shouting that he had been cheated, he played until three in the morning that night...

And the next day, he went against his weekend biological clock, got up early, brushed his teeth, and turned on the computer screen directly.

He didn't turn off the computer yesterday.

This game is really addictive!

Feng Kangshun sighed while calling a nearby takeaway.

Then he continued to play the fourth act of "Diablo".

I have to kill Diablo!

I have to avenge Leah!

Before going to bed last night.

Feng Kangshun also went to the forum to browse around and saw the post that there was new content after the game was completed.

But he didn't like to be spoiled when playing games, so he didn't click to take a closer look. He planned to explore it slowly by himself...

Moreover, compared with the content after the game was completed, he cared more about the current plot and process.

In addition, his long-term gaming experience told him that

after the game process is over, no matter how it is changed, the experience will be greatly discounted...

Even if it is a pigeon, no matter how varied it is.

It can't change the fact that the player has played it once and the fun is greatly discounted.

So he didn't take the content after he cleared the game too seriously.

Soon,

the room became quiet.

Feng Kangshun, who had a rare weekend off, brushed all the way, then had breakfast and lunch in front of the computer... and finally cleared the game.

He finished the fourth act very quickly.

But he didn't expect that defeating Diablo was not the end.

Later, there was a Death Angel Malthael.

In the end, after dying three times, he finally defeated the oppressive Reaper of Souls, the Death Angel Malthael.

Watching the Death Scythe die.

Feng Kangshun breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally dead.

This final boss is really strong, considering his current equipment.

Although Feng Kangshun didn't want to admit it, it was really handsome and strong!

After the final boss died, the CG played immediately.

The content was very vulgar.

It was nothing more than saying that the Nephalem, the barbarian played by Feng Kangshun, successfully defeated the final boss and saved all mankind.

But suddenly.

In the second half of the CG, the style of painting changed.

It seemed to imply that the Nephalem would also turn evil.

Finally, the game came to an end in these blank spaces.

The CG was played.

The game prompted the player to continue playing the current character, or to create an adventure mode and start over.

"Fuck, I hate this kind of blank space the most. There is no new plot in the future, and they are still hanging me... boring!"

Feng Kangshun saw the last game prompt and felt a little anxious.

It's like watching a movie or reading a novel.

Many people do feel anxious.

Because the story is over.

And Feng Kangshun belongs to this kind of people.

Because of the anxiety, he even forgot that new content would be unlocked after the subsequent game was cleared.

He only sighed that the story was over.

But soon.

As he chose to continue playing the current character.

Back to the camp in the fifth act.

His mentality quietly changed...

Because there were several new NPCs in the camp, he didn't notice some of the new NPCs, but he couldn't fail to notice the most conspicuous Kule.

He stood in the most conspicuous position.

"Isn't this b dead?"

Feng Kangshun saw the new NPC and recovered from his anxiety and came to the character who had appeared in the plot before.

Click to talk.

In the conversation about the "Ancient Artifact", the other party mentioned a new map - the Ruins of Sescheron.

Feng Kangshun was very sure that this map did not appear in the previous plot.

He opened the world map, searched for a while, and soon found the new map.

Then.

He finally remembered that new content would be unlocked after the game was completed, and barely survived, although he did not have too much expectation.

Because again, he had completed the game...

very quickly.

Feng Kangshun ran to the Ruins of Sescheron with the idea of ​​taking a look. After wandering around this ridiculously large map, he finally found the Temple of the Elders and found the artifact mentioned by the NPC.

However, nothing happened at that time. It was not

until he returned to the camp.

When he talked to the new NPC again, Feng Kangshun realized what he had obtained.

"Extract power!?"

Seeing the introduction of the first function of the artifact Kanai's Cube, Feng Kangshun was not calm.

The first function of Kanai's Cube is to extract the special effects of legendary equipment!

And he just happened to have an equipment, because of its low level, although the special effects are good, but because of the property problem, he threw it into the warehouse.

So when he saw the first function of Kanai's Cube, he immediately ran to the warehouse, took out the 'Mr. Yang's Magic Pants', extracted the special effects on it, and installed it.

Looking at the display on the power interface, 'When moving, your energy generation speed and damage caused will increase by 25%, and when stationary, it will decrease by (20-25)%'.

Feng Kangshun was excited.

Damn.

What a good thing!

It doesn't take up equipment grids, but it has special effects!

He carefully looked at the other functions on Kanai's Cube again, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.

Then, he ran through the camp again.

He found several new NPCs.

Changing equipment, secret realms, bounties...

Feng Kangshun tried them all, and also cleared the small secret realm.

Coming out of the small secret realm.

Feng Kangshun looked at the legendary equipment and the key to the big secret realm.

Finally understood why the first player who cleared the plot last night was so excited...

This is not the end of the game!

This is clearly the beginning of the game!

Especially after reading the big and small secret realms and the seasonal mode announcement pushed by the game!

He was even more convinced!

He used the Great Secret Realm Key to open the Great Secret Realm on the first level.

Then he stood at the starting point of the Great Secret Realm map.

After a moment of silence, his face showed excitement and he said,

"Fuck, this is too exciting!!!!!!"

Soon,

he could not care about the game anymore. He

switched back to the desktop and ran to the forum to share what he saw.

But when he opened the forum,

he found that he was too late.

As early as when Linmu Studio released the announcement,

the players in the entire forum were boiling...

Even if there were no beautiful pictures of Lin Yao this time, the players were willing to discuss it.

Because the content after "Diablo" was passed was too unexpected!

As more and more players complete the game, more and more players join in the discussion...

"Oh my god! A road that has never been imagined! Linmu Studio is always giving people surprises! It just starts after you complete the game! Awesome!"

"This is the first time I've played a game like this. After completing the story, not only did I not feel anxious, but I wanted to play it even more..."

"I heard that the first player who completed the game couldn't get to the 40th floor of the Great Secret Realm. He died 30 times in 15 minutes and all his equipment was ruined! Hahaha [laughing]."

"I saw it too! It seems that I can't play it happily in the future! I need to match the equipment, power and skills well! I play a magician. Does anyone have any good ideas? What are the equipment that enhances the disintegration ray? Please post a picture, please!" "

The one who died 30 times is the magician... Although the magician feels good to shoot in the early stage, it doesn't seem to be suitable for rushing to the next level. Everyone, pay attention!"

"Is there any big guy who can share the equipment and skill combination of the magician? Please! I really like the magician!"

"I found a routine! It's very fast to clear the small secret realm, once every nine minutes! The core equipment is Yang's recurve bow..."

"Big guys, how should I match the legendary gems?"

"Ancient equipment! Ancient equipment will drop after clearing the level! Damn! I'm so excited! The equipment is really rich! I want to assemble the strongest set!"

"Season mode, please come soon! I want to reach the top! I want the pet that is linked to World of Warcraft!"

"Big guys... I entered a place with a different style! Look!"

"Fuck, is there a hidden map in the game? How do I enter the rainbow map? Are there any special props?"

"..."

The entire forum.

There are related posts everywhere.

Some players express their excitement, while others have already started discussing equipment matching and how to rush to the next level with their friends.

Of course, some players have also dug up more content in the game.

In short.

It's very lively.

Feng Kangshun was also reading the posts, and the more he read, the more excited he became. There were so many new contents! Finally, he turned to a post introducing the early equipment matching of the barbarian, and he couldn't hold back.

Switch back to the game directly! Prepare to brush the small secret realm 30 times first!

Soon, the screen emitted colorful lights, reflecting on Feng Kangshun's face.

And he was excited and full of expectations...

I have to say.

This time, "Diablo", in addition to giving players a surprise in terms of game style, also gave players a big surprise in terms of gameplay...

a very big surprise!

Of course.

For many colleagues, this is a shock...

Lin Yao knows the flaws of the season mode.

After all, she has experienced the changes of "Diablo 3" for ten years.

But many colleagues don't know.

As soon as this season mode comes out, as long as you have played "Diablo", any smarter colleague will know how powerful it is!

In the past.

No matter how popular Linmu Studio's stand-alone game is, the time it maintains its popularity is limited. The game will slowly lose most of its popularity as time goes on.

But this time, "Diablo" gave colleagues a completely opposite feeling... Linmu Studio not only left enough play space after clearing the game at the game level, but also matched it with a gameplay like the season mode.

What's even more outrageous is that they are promoting World of Warcraft in Diablo...

Are they trying to hold players captive in a single-player game like they do in an online game?

In fact, it's not Lin Yao's fault that her peers have such an idea, because it's really scary.

Tianhu.

Mou Feng started shouting "A Guang, cheer up" again...

And the two companies behind Game Player contacted Linmu Studio again, which was no longer a hint.

I have to say.

Since the Carnival, Linmu Studio has indeed left a psychological shadow on many of its peers.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know.

Linmu Studio will launch more games in the future...

How could they cut off their own path...

They are just scaring themselves.

However.

Anyway,

Diablo was a success.

A big success!

...

"How is it! Has the sales of Diablo exceeded 7 million?"

Linmu Studio.

Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing with expectation.

Mu Wanqing's expression was a little strange.

Because this was the first time that Lin Yao paid so much attention to the sales of a game.

In the past, she basically stopped paying attention to the subsequent sales after the game was really popular.

So she thought it was quite strange.

However.

Mu Wanqing looked at the girl who was leaning forward with her hands on the table, her high ponytail swaying gently, and her fair, pretty, round oval face full of curiosity.

She felt that this was not a bad thing...

"Soon, because the carnival and publicity investment were enough, and the game itself was eye-catching enough, the pre-sale sales were very good. Then after the announcement of the season mode, more players were interested. It was only a matter of time before the sales exceeded 7 million, but it was not that fast."

Mu Wanqing explained a little, and then said: "Maybe it will take two days."

"Oh..."

Lin Yao was a little disappointed when she heard this. She stopped supporting the table and sat back in her chair. Then she shook her high ponytail in a sullen manner.

Mu Wanqing: "..."

I should have stopped talking earlier.

Lin Yao, who had a curious face just now and might have been curled up if she had a tail, was more adorable.

Of course, she didn't dare to say this directly.

Lin Yao would probably get angry when she heard about the tail.

In fact,

Lin Yao would, but she couldn't hear Mu Wanqing's thoughts, so she didn't care.

After playing with her ponytail for a while in a depressed mood, Lin Yao cheered up again.

Forget it, it doesn't matter if there are a few days.

"How is the current progress of the mobile phone project?" Lin Yao asked again.

"Well... we are preparing to stack the new motherboard, and the new person in charge of Youmei has mobilized the appearance design department and the structural design department."

Mu Wanqing flipped through the report in her hand and replied.

The so-called stacking is actually equivalent to the assembly process.

From the design to the mass production of mobile phones.

The process is quite troublesome.

But... this is for other manufacturers, but for Linmu Studio, it is not troublesome, because Lin Yao gave a very detailed plan, not to mention the appearance of the mobile phone, even the fixed structure plans such as the screen, microphone, and camera are all on it.

If you are really reckless, you can actually negotiate with the supplier directly and then go directly to trial production!

However.

Lin Yao did not do this. Physical products are not games.

Games must be tested before they are released.

Not to mention mobile phones.

So she plans to let Youmei's appearance design department and structural design department go through the design plan given by the system, and then do a collective structural review.

This not only provides engineers with an opportunity to learn, but also allows them to have a clear enough understanding of the mobile phones to be produced next.

Otherwise, if there are problems in mass production, there will be no one to solve the problem, which is too bad.

The system has given a solution, which has saved a lot of time, so don't save this time.

"Okay, then I'll go and take a look later."

Lin Yao thought about it. "Diablo" has now been successfully released and has achieved very good results. It

probably doesn't matter whether I keep an eye on it or not.

As for "World of Warcraft", Lei Hongguang cautiously asked to open the secondary inner side and test it again, so she doesn't have to worry about this.

As for the mobile game department, the meeting will be tomorrow.

It seems that I have nothing to do today.

Thinking of this.

Lin Yao simply stood up and said, "Forget it! I'll go there now, so that Uncle Zhang won't be able to control the situation... Miss Mu, I'm leaving."

After the formal acquisition was completed.

All the senior executives of Youmei were fired by Lin Yao...

It's not that they don't remember the old friendship, but mainly because they can toss Youmei, which was previously ranked in the top five, to the bottom, which is really amazing... Awesome in every sense.

Lin Yao didn't need such high-level executives who only knew how to fight for factions.

So she fired them all.

As for these people, how should I put it? Although they didn't have the ability to run the company, they were very good at making trouble.

After the notice was sent out, they took away many of their own direct employees.

It looked like if Youmei didn't want them to live well, then they would hollow out Youmei.

Lin Yao didn't have time before, "Diablo" was more important, so she asked her sister and Linmu Financial Holdings to handle it.

At present, Zhang Youjie is in charge of Youmei, and the situation has stabilized, but Lin Yao is still a little worried.

So she planned to go and take a look.

"Manager Zhang can't control it, can you control the situation..."

Mu Wanqing heard Lin Yao's words, and before she could object, a fragrant breeze blew, and Lin Yao ran behind her.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out and grabbed Lin Yao's high ponytail.

It was a bit funny.

"It hurts... Let go! What's wrong? Do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

Lin Yao stopped immediately when her ponytail was pulled.

She turned around and glared at Mu Wanqing.

"What misunderstanding?"

Mu Wanqing let go of Lin Yao's high ponytail and looked at the perfect girl standing in front of her, who seemed to be the love of heaven and earth. She really couldn't imagine how she would look like in charge of the place...

You said that mobilizing the subjective initiative of employees might be possible...

"It's stabilized over there. Manager Zhang has already informed me. Don't worry. Even if you really want to go, I'll go with you."

Mu Wanqing smiled, then came to Lin Yao's side and gently took her arm: "Let's go."
