Moreover, "Honor of Kings World" is not a game like "Fantasy Westward Journey" where you rely on getting equipment and pursuing the ultimate attributes. It's a bottomless pit where whales can keep spending money.
The only way to spend money here is through gacha pulls. Even if you pull all the cards to max out your lifespan, it won't cost you tens of millions.
In fact, open-world adventure mobile games are more like single-player games in the online game world. They have the social aspects of online games as well as the storyline and details of single-player games.
Some people might ask, then why don't online games be made with the same high-quality graphics and rich storylines as traditional single-player games?
Dude, if online games were made like single-player games, how much memory would they need? 100GB for PC? 10GB for mobile?
Is it possible that you'll abandon the game before you even finish downloading it?
And how slow it must be to load the map every time.
The primary attribute of online games is social interaction. Based on this social interaction, the differences between players create comparisons, prompting players to spend money on in-game purchases.
Therefore, the equipment effects in those online games are becoming more and more gorgeous and beautiful.
Wherever you stand, you'll be the coolest kid in the whole game.
Some unethical game developers even set up bot characters in their games and directly modify backend parameters to prevent players from ever reaching the game's power ceiling.
The players, on the other hand, naively believed that there were always people more capable than themselves, and even more wealthy people than themselves.
Therefore, it can only be said that Sun Yaosheng misunderstood the game.
This is an exploration game, not a pay-to-win game.
If Sun Yaosheng's actions were in a traditional online game, those wealthy players would indeed spend money to make their combat power surpass that of other players once again.
In open-world exploration mobile games, who are you spending money on? You're all alone in your own world, only connecting with others when you're doing dungeons. After finishing a dungeon, you go back to your own world. Others might not even see your ID before the game ends.
Looking at the data after the first update of the "King of Glory World" event, Little Ma frowned, his face unusually dark.
What kind of work is Sun Yaosheng doing? I thought he understood the game well, so I promoted him to team leader, but this is the level he's at.
It seems my company's HR department's assessment was quite accurate; this person is not up to any great responsibility.
Little Ma picked up the phone.
"Go and fetch Sun Yaosheng for me."
"Okay, Mr. Ma."
Someone from the secretariat immediately called the "King of Glory World" project team.
Sun Yaosheng rushed to Little Ma's office after receiving the call.
"Mr. Ma."
Little Ma looked at Sun Yaosheng, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked gently.
"Sun Yaosheng, have you done a summary of this event update?"
"Mr. Ma, we just finished our summary meeting."
"So what was the result? Have you figured out what caused the event to fail?"
"Mr. Ma, we think it might be because the characters in this event aren't appealing to players, so we'd like to conduct a survey before the next gacha update to see which characters players like. Also, each player who participates in the survey will receive a 50% off coupon."
"50% off?! Such a high discount?"
"Mr. Ma, the discount isn't the key point. We just need to adjust the probability slightly, which won't affect the final profit."
"Hmm, that's a good idea."
Little Ma nodded. This Sun Yaosheng wasn't entirely useless. At least he wasn't like that fat guy before, who didn't learn from his failures but instead indulged in feudal superstitions. He was simply beyond redemption.
Sun Yaosheng secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead; it seemed he had passed the test this time.
Little Ma looked at Sun Yaosheng and said, word by word, "Sun Yaosheng, I'm giving you one last chance. If the data for the next event is still this terrible, then you can quit and get out of here."
"Yes...yes, Mr. Ma, I understand."
After returning to the project team, Sun Yaosheng quickly convened another meeting with the team members.
The team members were speechless. Hadn't they just finished a meeting? Did Sun Yaosheng even have any ability? He didn't know how to solve anything. What use was he as their team leader?
But despite the complaints, the meetings still have to be attended; that's the tragedy of working people.
"Colleagues, let's discuss the plan for the next event. First, I'll set a main direction: before the next card pool update, we'll conduct a questionnaire survey for all players. Players who participate in the survey will receive a 50% off coupon to use for drawing from the new card pool."
"50% off?!"
The group members below were also shocked.
Sun Yaosheng was actually quite satisfied to see the shocked expressions on his team members' faces; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
Imagine if even the people at the game company are shocked, wouldn't the players be even more shocked? Wouldn't that create the desired effect, and wouldn't the players then spend money?
"Although the coupon is 50% off, we will mark these players and then adjust the probability of these players getting the item slightly."
"I see."
The group members all showed expressions of disdain.
"Let's discuss this further and refine the details, then we can start preparing the questionnaire."
After some discussion, the "King of Glory World" project team got busy again.
Dawei has actually been following the game "Honor of Kings World" for a while.
Strategically despise the enemy, tactically take the enemy seriously.
When Dawei received the questionnaire for "Honor of Kings World", he was actually a little confused.
No, don't you realize where the problem lies?
Is this a problem with the characters you draw?
Do you think that changing the characters will make people spend money on the game?
This time, he didn't even need to ask Lin Chen to know that the new round of events for "Honor of Kings World" was off again.
However, out of caution, he still went to Lin Chen's office to tell him about it.
"Boss, there's a new event for Honor of Kings World."
"Oh? Let me see."
After reading it, Lin Chen was also completely confused. What's going on, Brother Ma? Did I overestimate you? Why are you coming up with such baffling moves lately?
"Boss, what do you think?"
"Me? I can't even look at this. What kind of messed-up activities are these? Is this really a marketing plan that a game company could come up with? Sigh, I've figured it out. Although Tencent is a big company, it has been using its old tricks for so long that it has lost its creativity. If it doesn't change, this company will definitely decline in the future."
"Boss, it feels so strange that you suddenly become serious."
Lin Chen's face darkened: "Can't you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
Brother Dawei: "Boss, that one line about national essence instantly brought you back to your true nature."
