Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

Weekend nights.

This is the time of the week when players are most active.

This is also the time when news spreads most quickly.

Many people have just come home from get off work and school, and as usual, after dinner, they turn on the computer and prepare to play games.

However.

at this time.

A piece of heavy news suddenly swept the entire gaming circle with extremely rapid speed.

"Brothers, hurry up! Come to "World of Warcraft", the PK of this game is really exciting!"

"Damn it, thousands of people were fighting on the same screen, and the server didn't even crash. It made my blood boil."

"The fight lasted from noon to night. Several big guilds rushed over with people to support us. The voice channel was very lively."

"A lot of anchors also went there, it was such a great scene."

After playing MMOs for so many years, they had never seen a PK battle of this scale. They were immediately excited and downloaded World of Warcraft one after another.

Other players who had just received the news were shocked.

Thousands of people compete on the same screen.

Will all the anchors join forces?

Out of curiosity, they all ran to major live broadcast rooms to check.

As a result, as soon as I clicked into the "World of Warcraft" section, a uniform PK scene came into view.

If you click into any live broadcast room, you will see anchors and water friends shouting and directing battles. They look extremely excited.

When they saw the game screen, their eyes widened in disbelief.

people.

Countless people.

Just in the area where one anchor is located, there are at least hundreds of people fighting frantically, fighting left and right.

Behind the battle line, there is a steady stream of players coming to join the battle.

Many thieves roamed and sneaked around the edges, engaging in fierce fights and ambushes with lone enemies.

The healing team at the rear shines brightly to provide support for frontline players.

Under their treatment, the warrior professions charged collectively, crashed into the crowd on the opposite side, and massacred them.

Each profession has its own performance.

The whole scene is wonderful.

"Damn it! This game looks so fun."

“Thousands of people are fighting in a team, it’s so spectacular.”

"And there are so many professions. Each profession has its own characteristics and can be matched with each other."

"It's so strong, this scene is absolutely amazing!"

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an awesome MMO.”

"World of Warcraft, right? Download it now!"

The spectacular battle scenes in the live broadcast room instantly captured the hearts of countless players, who immediately dropped the other games they were playing and ran to download World of Warcraft.

Because the gap is really too big!

You are still slowly doing task upgrades, each one doing its own thing like a robot.

The team battle has already started.

And it’s a large-scale team battle with thousands of people.

How could this keep them from being tempted?

Even if they don't go for team battles, they are still deeply attracted by the social environment between game guilds and players.

Yes!

It’s social!

For an MMO game, social attributes are extremely important.

In this game, they saw strong social attributes that other competing products did not have.

Players organize themselves spontaneously and jointly resist the enemy.

Even people who don't know each other can help in times of crisis.

There are also the souls of players who have died too many times and are squatting in the cemetery chatting and gossiping. The lively and harmonious scene undoubtedly has a fatal attraction for them.

As a result, many people who were still playing other games switched to "World of Warcraft" and began their own magical adventures.

…

Sichuan City.

Shengqu Headquarters.

An employee holding a report hurriedly ran through the aisles and found his supervisor who was making rounds.

"Director, something big has happened! The number of people online in "Oracle" suddenly dropped by more than half a million! And the situation is getting worse!"

His voice was full of anxiety, and even his steps were much faster than usual.

You must know that this is the weekend with the largest number of player traffic. Even if the number of online people does not increase, it should not drop so sharply.

as expected.

After hearing his report, the director's face suddenly darkened: "What's going on? Why did it fall so much?"

"It is said...It is said that because of the prehistoric times, many players have gone to play their "World of Warcraft"."

"Prehistoric?"

"Yes, it is."

When he first learned the news, he couldn't believe it.

But when I checked online, I was shocked.

Almost the entire Internet is filled with discussions about "World of Warcraft", and an entry from this game has become a hot search topic.

# Thousands of people fight in a team fight, who dares to fight! #

If you click on the hot search, you will see all the team battle scenes in the game.

Even though he was a game player, he was frightened by that scene, and even more shocked by Hong Huang's courage.

I'm really willing to invest so many resources to fill up the server.

Are they so confident that their games will be popular?

"How many people are online between us and Honghuang now?" the director asked in a deep voice.

"Our peak before noon was 4.5 million, and now it has dropped below 4 million. Honghuang has not released any news for the time being. It is estimated... around 4 million."

"You caught up so quickly?" The man's pupils shrank.

If he remembered correctly, before today, the online rate of Honghuang's game had been floating around 1.5 million, which could not even be compared with several other competing products.

But now, only one day has passed, and it has actually reached the same level as them, equaling their advantage of going online three months in advance!

How terrifying is the heat to do this?

"Go, let them prepare immediately and announce the news of the next expansion pack. The situation must be stabilized!"

"Isn't this... a little too early?"

"Three months, plus two months of announcement, is enough. What we have to do now is to retain players, so let's do it quickly."

"Okay, I'll go and notify them right away."

After saying that, the employee left in a hurry.

Originally, they were planning to release this expansion pack at the end of the year, so one major update a year would be just right.

But in this case, we can only shorten the time to about half a year to attract as many players as possible.

Anyway, "Oracle" still has 4 million online sales, so there is no need to worry too much in the short term.

In comparison.

Other manufacturers are much more confused.

As they are both MMO games, their online rates have been affected to varying degrees.

Players are losing a lot.

The senior officials were so shocked that they held an emergency meeting.

Those who were still gloating over the popularity of the game Anhuang before were now looking ugly, watching helplessly as the players were snatched away by Anhuang.

One goes down and the other goes up.

The online rate of "World of Warcraft" soared, but instead of rising, their game's online rate plummeted.

Especially Penguin's "Swordsman".

From the very beginning, this game was announced with large-scale gang battles and siege battles as its selling points, claiming that there would be no lag in team battles with hundreds of people.

As a result, as soon as the video of the ancient team battle with tens of thousands of people came out, he instantly turned into a clown, and the number of players dropped by nearly 800,000!

The senior management was so angry that he slammed the table angrily.

As a last resort, major manufacturers had to advance planned updates and increase their publicity efforts, so they could barely stay online.

And the situation in the MMO market.

It was also due to the sudden rise of ancient forces that great changes took place.

only.

But no one knows.

At this time, Honghuang is brewing another big move.

…

"Mr. Chen, are the special effects of "Thunder's Wrath, Wind Chaser's Blessing Sword" too exaggerated?"

In the Daybreak team, Lao Li and Chen Lin stood in front of the computer, looking at the weapons pictures that the employees were rendering.

It was a long sword with double blades opening from the middle, with cold and domineering spikes on the handle.

The blade of the sword was sharp, and a faint blue light emitted, covering the entire sword body.

The most eye-catching thing is a dazzling ball of light in the center of the crack, which is constantly shining with the power of thunder and lightning, looking domineering and unparalleled.

[The Wrath of Thunder, the Blessed Sword of the Wind Chaser]

Bind after picking up

One-handed sword (speed 1.9)

44-115 damage (53.9 damage per second)

+16-30 nature damage

+5 agility

+8 stamina

+8 fire resistance

+9 natural resistance

Durability 125/125

Each lightning jump reduces the target's natural resistance by 25 points, can attack 5 targets, and reduces the target's attack speed by 20% for 12 seconds.

…

The quality of this weapon is orange.

Even the special effects are different from other equipment. They are so many levels higher. No wonder Lao Li asked this.

Chen Lin smiled and said, "No, that's fine. The more exaggerated the special effects, the better. It just needs to be different from other equipment." After all, this is one of the only orange pieces of equipment. "

"What about this final boss? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Lao Li continued to ask and looked at the monster design on another computer.

In the picture, there is a flaming giant with blazing flames all over his body. The lava hammer in his hand is another piece of orange equipment.

"Hmm..." Chen Lin looked at the modeling on the computer and fell into deep thought.

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at his shoulders and head.

"Here, and here, increase the brightness a bit, add some lava spikes, and increase the flames on the body. I want the oppressive feeling of monstrous flames."

As the final boss of the first group version, the deck must be full.

to this end.

Chen Lin even had people raise the rendering of the entire battle venue several levels, just to show the burning sensation of fighting in a sea of ​​lava and fire.

After all, this is related to his future plans.

A grand e-sports event.

He wants all players to be shocked by this scene when they see Fire Lord Ragnaros for the first time!

So this time he seemed particularly concerned.

After solving the production problems.

He went to the dubbing studio again to check the dubbing status of each character.

"Let the fire purify everything!"

The roaring mixed with the mixed sound reverberated throughout the dubbing studio, causing the eardrums of everyone outside to tremble.

The person responsible for dubbing the Flame Lord was specially hired by Chen Lin at a huge expense, a well-known veteran voice actor in China.

Just this roar showed his dubbing skills to the fullest, and he couldn't help but sigh, the money was indeed not wasted.

After standing outside for a while and listening to other dubbings without any problems, he didn't stay any longer and went outside to find Lao Song.

"How's it going? Has the online rate stabilized?"

"It's still rising, now it's over 4.5 million."

Lao Song took a deep breath, with excitement and shock in his eyes.

In just two days over the weekend, the number of online users of their "World of Warcraft" game soared from 1.5 million to 4.5 million, a total increase of 3 million!

You must know that even if "Oracle" represented by Shengqu has a good reputation abroad and is launched so long in advance, the best it can achieve is this.

Now it took them two days to catch up.

It would be a lie to say I'm not excited.

Not to mention the online game team under him, all of them have been extremely excited for a long time.

Because they can feel it.

This game is likely to become one of their major IPs, and it is entirely possible that it will continue to grow!

"Is it 4.5 million?"

Chen Lin's eyes lit up, this was much faster than he expected.

It’s even close to catching up with DNF, a free game.

"In this case, let's make preparations. When Lao Li completes the production, we will issue an update announcement. By the way, contact the previous venue and pre-rent it for half a month."

"What about the scale? Is it going to be the same as last time?" Lao Song asked.

"No, let's make it bigger this time. Since the players are so enthusiastic, let's play a big one too. The prize money will be doubled. PVP and PVE events will be held at the same time!"
