Almighty Video Game Designer Chapter 294

Chapter 294: First season’s reward

Of course, at this time, there would definitely be players who would put forward “e-sports and being noobs are the original sins”,”noobs should work hard and one day surpa.s.s G.o.ds” and so on.

There was no problem with this statement, but it should only be used to spur himself on, not to ask others.

If you’ve been abused, you should work hard on your skills. There’s nothing wrong with being abused back. However, if your girlfriend was a noob and was abused, and you said,”being a noob in e-sports is an original sin,” you’d see if you two would break up.

A King player was still a player.

A bronze player was still a player.

For most players with bad skills, control and reaction speed were innate, and no matter how hard they trained, they couldn’t change it.

To designers, these two types of players were equally important because they were an essential part of the game’s ecosystem.

Simplifying the operations of the game would allow more players to join and stay, so the game would have more players than other games. This was the core compet.i.tiveness of the game.

As for the high-end players?

As long as the player base went up, there would always be high-end players. The two were not in direct opposition to each other. High-end players had all climbed out of the pool of players.

…

What would be the consequences of drying up the fish pond?

For example, if a large number of players in the bronze Division in League of Legends were lost, then a bronze player would have to queue for a longer time to play ranked games, or if he encountered many players in the silver Division, his chances of winning would become lower and lower. He would be abused continuously, and as time went by, he would have no choice but to escape.

This would further aggravate the loss of players. When there were fewer and fewer players in the bronze group, it would be the turn of the silver Group, the gold Group …

The drying up of the fish pond would cause a series of chain reactions, causing the compet.i.tive ecosystem of the entire game to collapse from the bottom to the top. Moreover, the speed of the loss of players would become faster and faster, which was a nightmare for compet.i.tive games.

In Chen Mo’s previous life, this was one of the reasons why Overwatch’s popularity had dropped.

Many players had stopped paying for their purchases and the lack of computer configurations. The player base was far lower than League of Legends, and the problems with the game’s mechanics and ranking system had caused the popularity of the ‘fried fish pond’. All these factors combined had caused a large number of players to quit, and the popularity of the game had dropped.

Of course, DOTA and League of Legends also had similar situations, but DOTA had many die-hard fans and a stable player base, while League of Legends’s fish pond was deep enough that it wouldn’t make a splash no matter how hard one tried.

However, what if the player base was not enough?

Then, even the best game would be ruined.

……

After much effort, Wen Lingwei and Chang xiuya finally completed their beginner’s training.

After completing the beginner’s training, a special interface popped up on the screen as a system prompt, and there was also a very beautiful treasure chest.

[Congratulations on completing the beginner’s training. You have received a small gift from the continent of valoran. Please click to open it.]

Jia Peng was surprised,”huh?” I’ll be rewarded for completing the beginner’s training?”

Jia Peng tapped on the chest, and with a flash of gold, a few rewards appeared on the screen.

[New skin: Death Knight garen]

[Currency: 4500 point certificates, 10000 gold coins]

[Guard (eye) skin: adorable Yeti guard]

And that wasn’t all. Just as Jia Peng accepted the rewards, a new interface appeared.

“As a player of the first season of League of Legends, we have prepared a small gift for you. Note: This reward will be out of print at the end of the first season and can not be obtained through conventional means. ”

Jia Peng clicked the mouse and saw another skin!

[New skin: [dragon hunter] Vayne

Jia Peng couldn’t stay calm any longer. What the f * ck, so many good things?

Obviously, even though Jia Peng wasn’t too sure about the value of these items, he was literate. He could recognize the purple epic icon on the skins.

Moreover, the 4500 point certificates were the currency that could only be obtained by topping up in the game.

Jia Peng quickly entered [collectibles] to check his reward.

Different from League of Legends in his previous life, Chen Mo had added hero models in the game store and in the players ‘Collection interface. Players could not only see the original art of the hero’s skin, but also the real model.

This wasn’t difficult to do. After all, even a mobile game like King of Glory had managed to do this.

Of course, there were some unsightly models in his previous life, but the ones Chen Mo made were of extremely high quality, and there was no problem looking at them in close-up.

[Death Knight] Galen’s style was completely different from his Original Skin. He was wearing dark armor, his eyes were shining with a cold light, and the big sword in his hand had turned into Frostmourne.

In Chen Mo’s previous life, this skin was quite popular with Warcraft, but it didn’t have an IP and didn’t look too similar to Arthas. However, this problem didn’t exist for Chen Mo, as he had the entire IP in Warcraft and could use it as he pleased.

Garen’s skin looked like Arthas ‘, and Jia Peng was very excited.

In fact, Vayne, the [dragon hunter], had also been riding on the popularity of magical beasts. This name was first used as the name of the Hunter set in World of Warcraft. Of course, this world didn’t have World of Warcraft yet, but as a successful skin, Chen Mo still brought it out.

As for the skin of the eye, it was just a little snowman. It was just an extra, nothing special.

Jia Peng then looked at the recharge interface. 4500 point certificates were equivalent to 45 dollars, and he couldn’t estimate the value of 10000 gold coins yet.

He looked through the shop and found that these point certificates could be used to buy a medium-priced skin. The gold coins were only enough to buy some trashy guard (eye) skins and Summoner avatars.

“Yeah …” Jia Peng consoled himself,”these skins won’t affect my combat power anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I buy them or not.”

……

Chen Mo had considered the entire reward system.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, players in League of Legends could earn gold coins every day, and the main purpose of the gold coins was to buy heroes and runes.

Although there were many problems, there were also benefits. Many players enjoyed the process of saving gold to buy heroes and runes. This was equivalent to gradually opening the game content, so that players would cherish their accounts (the wealth on them) more.

It was the same logic as some card games that kept players by giving them good cards.

Chen Mo removed the hero and rune fees out of fairness, but he also considered other ways to get the reward.

Point certificates and gold coins would still be retained. Players could still obtain gold coins through playing games, winning first victories every day, completing missions, and so on. However, the specific use of gold coins had changed.
