It was late at night and Gu Cheng, who returned to the rental house, did not rest.

A newly bought desk lamp was placed on a wooden wardrobe because the wiring board was dragged too far, the voltage was unstable and it was flickering.

Gu Cheng was organizing his notes at his desk under the desk lamp.

"Although the 'Dragon Clan' in history exceeded the 'Legend' in the same period in Dongyi, the market data reversed after the introduction of the two into the Chinese market. The biggest objective reason for this is that the legend is more suitable for the still relatively primitive network infrastructure environment in China at that time.

The PK of the Dragon Clan is too intense, and the character's output ability is too high compared to the character's health. Life and death are often between the front line. The cost of problems such as network speed and frame drops in the Dragon Clan is much higher than in the legend. If you have a 2-second block, a level 100 player will be killed by an enemy of level 90.

Legend has cleverly copied the advanced design of "Slowly Recover Blood after Use of Blood Bottle" in Blizzard's masterpiece "Diablo 2". This is significantly better than the traditional "Start Recover Blood after Use of Blood Bottle" design in terms of gaming experience - slow recovery of blood makes the game's PK and monster killing rhythm more smooth, and players do not have to stop drinking the exact time point of the blood bottle, further enhancing the fault tolerance of Legend's high-delay network speed.

These fault tolerances are very necessary for the Chinese market, where the broadband penetration rate among netizens is only one-fifth of the Dongyi market. This means: if the Dragon Clan is introduced, only first-tier cities and second-tier cities with better network construction can enjoy themselves; the introduction of legends can ensure that Internet cafe users in third- and fourth-tier cities can also participate.

At the same time, the dragon clan's design is not as good as the legend in terms of "leveling sense of accomplishment". On the one hand, because the tactical cooperation and restraint are too emphasized, characters with restrained fighting styles and skills are easily found in the dragon clan. When the level is 10% higher than the restraint, there is still a high possibility of being defeated - this sense of restraint weakens the players' enthusiasm for leveling.

In the legend, although there are also war, magic, and Taoist professions that are incompatible, it is unlikely that level 30 players will be killed by level 27 restraints.

On the other hand, the aforementioned instant blood recovery setting is also the main reason for the lack of accomplishment in the Dragon Clan's leveling. This setting is a disguised suppression for high-health professions, which leads to the warrior professions being relatively weak and unbalanced among the Dragon Clan, and will inevitably affect consumption if they continue for a long time.

Finally, the best equipment of the Dragon Clan is too easy to get compared to legends, making players lack the motivation to continue to invest for years..."

Gu Cheng remembered it very seriously, and he pondered and revised it from time to time, and took out all the analysis skills of entertainment products he had accumulated in more than ten years in his later generations. He also fully combined with the objective data collected and experienced today, and listed a detailed analysis report.

The layman may not understand what he wrote in his notes that "the instant fullness after drinking blood will cause the high-health profession to lose the sense of accomplishment." It is said that in human language:

For example, the 100th level warrior in the dragon clan has a maximum health limit of 50,000, and the mage/priest is 16,000; the bow/thief does not minor in spells and focuses on blood increase, and if he minors in some BUFF spells, it is the lowest in the game, only about 13,000.

Originally, the warrior's health was 3 times that of a magic weapon and 2.5 times that of a thief, which was very fulfilling.

However, both sides have 20 large blood bottles of 15,000 yuan in their bags? Because the blood bottle is recovered instantly, and the blood bottle is not cooled down, so you can drink it continuously. This means that as long as the warrior cannot kill the thief/mage in one blow, the upper limit of the blood volume is meaningless. At this time, it depends on who clicks the blood bottle in time.

The original limit of 50,000 to 20,000 is between the warrior and the thief, but the actual PK is 350,000 to 320,000. From the perspective of proportion, the warrior's sense of superiority has been greatly reduced.

The warrior lacks skills and spell support, and he will eventually be greatly suppressed in the early version of "Dragon Clan".

In fact, later history also proved this point, and players who play the Dragon Clan are basically much more polite than legendary players.

This is not to say that people who play warriors are vulgar, but most vulgar people will play warriors. Just like "A good grade in the liberal arts does not necessarily mean that they will study liberal arts, but those who have poor grades in the sciences will definitely study liberal arts."

The dragon clan's hidden sense of accomplishment in the warrior profession naturally caused the two main online games, namely the Huoqiu Coal Boss and the Hot-blooded Hooligan, to collectively turn to legendary games.

After the legend became popular, other online games slowly noticed this problem and began to learn the "Drink Blood and Slowly Recover Blood" design that began with "Diablo 2"; either add a cooldown time to the blood bottle to save the sense of accomplishment of the warrior profession - what's wrong with you having too many blood bottles? You don't have the chance to finish drinking too much blood bottles, and you don't have time to finish it! You still have to be born with a long blood tank to be awesome!

...

From a few decades later, this kind of analysis is simply a closed-door business, with no big data support at all.

But in 2000, under the current limited conditions, Gu Cheng could only do this.

"Out of the lights, go to bed." Gu Cheng turned off the desk lamp and fell down to sleep on the broken bed, making him feel more at ease.

Maybe Xiaobai would ask: After going around, he decided to act as a legend in the end? Wouldn’t it be better to directly reach the conclusion? What kind of big-tail wolf professionals are you pretending to be?

The problem is, this thing is really different.

If a reborn person with low IQ has no quality, he will rely on the foresight of a reborn person to collide with it. Perhaps the general direction is fine.

But let me ask: When Dongyi Development Company raises agency fees, what reason should I use to bargain? After getting the agency rights back to China, how can I find the positioning of the target market city?

If you can't analyze these, just remember the conclusion that "Chen Tianqiao took the legendary agency power and became a big deal when he returned to China", and he would do it. It would definitely be lifeless if he died.

Not to mention anything else, if you get the agency rights of "Legend" and return to China to take Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen as the first wave of main market attacks with the agent of the "Dragon Clan", then the legend will definitely be killed without leaving any remaining pieces - the Internet speed of others can play the "Dragon Clan" and the "Legend" that is not a big deal.

For legendary agents, "surrounding the city in the countryside" must be understood.

When he got up the next day, Gu Cheng thought about whether he should go to the legendary developer to take a look.

He checked the relevant information about the legend when he was online yesterday: it was developed by a game company called WE-MADE, and the information shows that it is located in the Jiu Lao District in the western suburbs of Seoul.

Because it is close to Incheon Port and Incheon Airport, Kowloon District is a relatively developed outward economy. Most of the import and export companies and software service companies in Seoul are registered there.

After washing and cleaning up, Gu Cheng went out and bought something similar to pancakes and fruits at the subway station for breakfast.

After falling down the subway for an hour, Gu Cheng found WEMADE based on the address he copied online: it was in an office building near Jiulao Metro Station.

The company occupies a full floor on the 7th floor, and Gu Cheng estimated that there were hundreds of people.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, he walked into the WEMADE gate openly.

"Hello sir, can I ask if I can help you?" The front desk lady bowed politely.

After all, Gu Cheng dressed quite well today, and his appearance was enough to make girls give him a good look.

"I am quite interested in the 'Legend' developed by your company. I would like to talk to your person in charge to see if there is any possibility of adapting online games."

"Do you have an appointment? Or can you leave some information about your unit?"

Gu Cheng just came to check in. His company has not been registered yet, so of course he can't report it.

"I'm here to see. I'm from China and have no company in Dongyi."

The girl at the front desk smiled stiffly.

Her responsibilities are impossible to just send someone who has no one in her, which will disturb the leader.

"That's it...I haven't heard of the project you mentioned before, so I'll ask you if there are any relevant leaders."

The girl at the front desk picked up the inside phone on the table and dialed the inside. The person on the other end seemed to say that the matter was not under his control, so she hung up.

"Sorry, the leader who can be responsible is not there. Otherwise, if you leave a contact information, we will report it to the upper level."

Only then did Gu Cheng remember that he hadn't even bought a mobile phone.

"Forget it, I'll come back later."

He glanced at WEMADE for the last time, turned around and left without being humble, and took the elevator downstairs.

Because it is not the time to go to get off work, the elevator is very empty.

He was idle and idle, so he read all the advertisements in the elevator.

"WEMADE company recruits 4 C++ programmers, 2 artists, and 1 game planner..."

"CMS vocational training institution, offering C/C++, JAVA, VB, PHP, graphic art courses..."

Gu Cheng was just passing the time, but after thinking about it, he thought it would be nice to sign up for a short-term class this time.

As an IT elite in later generations, he was of course a genius in programming ideas and topological architecture; but he did not understand the most basic programming language today, and he had a big and unreasonable "dragon-slaying skills".

The main reason for this "tragedy" is that later generations no longer use original languages ​​such as C and JAVA. Since Visual-studio2030, the readability of programming languages ​​has become stronger and stronger. The code is getting closer to human logic languages, and it is no problem to program directly in Chinese.

It is not a bad thing to sign up for a training class and let yourself understand the world through the sky.

Moreover, before his agency was registered, it was estimated that WEMADE would not be able to defeat him. Anyway, I was idle, so it would be better to learn something. Maybe I could get familiar with some people in WEMADE.

He had no doubt that in the same office building, there must be people from WEMADE who charge at CMS.

"Sir, it's the first floor, won't you go down?"

Gu Cheng was distracted and interrupted by a passerby. He looked up and found that the elevator had reached the bottom.

"Oh, I won't go down, I'll sit on the wrong floor." He casually dealt with the passerby staff, then looked at the location of the training school written in the advertisement, and pressed the floor again.
Chapter completed!
