Chapter 301

Since he was abused by blood that day, Xu Qianshi has labeled Warcraft as "garbage" in his heart.

The rhythm of the game is extremely bad.

The balance is very poor, even no balance at all.

Orc's population building can shoot arrows!

That's playing with wool!

The other three races can be deleted directly. Let's play the orc!

Wasting two precious hours in life, Xu Qianshi, who turned off the game, completely left Warcraft behind.

He can almost be sure that even if there is no pressure from the "Seven Kingdoms", this game is doomed to only the end of the street.

Just when he thought about it, he saw an article published on the game island.

Waterloo of cloud dream game: boredom is the biggest natural enemy of a game

He didn't have time to read the content of the article, but the title of the line was written into his heart.

"Boring though not, but the failure of Warcraft, I'm afraid it may really become the turning point of the end of the myth of cloud dream game."

After clicking on the article, Xu Qianshi continued to read down the main body.

As an old man of game performance, Liu Qingfeng's view is more pertinent. At least in Xu Qianshi's opinion, there are many views mentioned in the article, which is exactly what he felt when playing Warcraft.

Like the rhythm of the game.

The rhythm of Warcraft is strange in many RTS games.

In the article, Liu Qingfeng wrote.

[... The population restriction and not short training time greatly limit the speed of explosive force, and the limited resources lead to the players having to carefully consider every decision and be careful in the use of resources

[there is no doubt that as an RTS game, Warcraft is not good enough in terms of entertainment

However, when it comes to competitiveness, the game is also a failure. The premise of competitiveness is balance. However, for Warcraft, there is almost no concept of balance. Among the four races, the orcs have the strongest single combat ability, the undead have the highest magic damage, the elves are good at long-range attack and can kite with their moving speed, while the mediocre Terrans are almost the weakest

[although the setting of heroes and carrying equipment is a bright spot, it is undoubtedly a chicken rib for RTS games. If I want to practice level, why not choose RPG? Instead of choosing an "unprofessional" RTS game

[at the time of writing this article, I made statistics on the data collected in the Warcraft game hall. In the game, more than 60% of the players chose orcs, while the utilization rate of Terrans has dropped from 57% to 20%.]

[I don't understand the positioning of Yunmeng game for this new work, but it's obvious that this game is a failure, whether it's entertaining or competitive.]

[maybe the campaign part is the core selling point of this game? However, I am not interested in fantasy epic, nor can I realize the heavy cost of Gul'dan. But it's clear that the market has given a fair evaluation, and the players don't seem to like the game

At the end of the article, Xu Qianshi's mouth turned up a faint smile.

"I didn't expect that my worries were really superfluous."

Before Warcraft went online, he was worried all day long, for fear that the new work of cloud dream game would become a blockbuster again and steal the limelight of seven kingdoms.

However, no one expected that Warcraft would fall before the two sides officially started to fight.

Just when Xu Qianshi was happy, there was a knock outside the office.

Turning off the article in the computer, he cleared his throat and said.

"Come in, please."

The door opened and Wu Jianhua, director of the marketing department, came in from outside the office with a report.

"Mr. Xu."

Looking at Wu Jianhua, Xu Qianshi said in a relaxed tone.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, we have recently collected feedback from many players through a questionnaire. It is said that there are too many repetitive operations, too complicated system and boring game experience in the middle and late stages of the game. Here is a summary report of players' opinions, which I have sorted out for you."

Picked up the report from the desk, Xu Qianshi glanced at it in a hurry, his brow could not help wrinkling.

Although only a small number of players' opinions are reflected in the questionnaire, the game time of these players is generally more than 50 hours, some even up to 100 hours, which can be regarded as the iron fans of the seven kingdoms.

Even these people feel bored in the middle and later stages of the game, so we can only say that the problem really exists.

Looking at the silent president Xu, Wu Jianhua continued.

"The sales volume in the early stage depends on publicity, and the subsequent sales volume depends on word of mouth. If these problems do exist in the middle and late stage of our game, I suggest that we feed back the problems to the product department to see if we can exit the update or patch to solve the demands of the players. For example, the fast combat mode, or the introduction of some new play, so that old players do not feel bored

Xu Qianshi nodded and said.

"That's a good idea. I'll take it to the product department later. In addition, I'll give you another task. Your marketing department will find a way to conduct a survey and sort out the demands of the players. I'll study with the product department to see how to improve. "

"Yes, Mr. Xu." Wu nodded, then turned and left the office.

Leaning on the office chair, Xu Qianshi looked at the report in his hand and twisted his brows into two centipedes.

boring?

It's impossible

The system of seven kingdoms, looking at the whole RTS game history, has the most content and the most complex functions.

In particular, the unlimited possibilities provided by the functions of custom arms, no real-time strategy game has ever been able to achieve such a degree of freedom.

Just when Xu Qianshi was thinking about where his game was boring, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

After saying please come in, I saw that the person who came in this time was Xiao Li from the operation Department.

I saw his face, full of dignified look.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Qianshi was stunned, and his expression became serious.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Mr. Xu, this is the public data I collected from the search engine. In just one day on June 9, the search volume of Warcraft increased by 300%, and the search index reached 17000, ranking 11th in the whole game related terms. Two days ago, when they were on sale, they were in the top 50

Speaking of this, Xiao Li stopped for a moment and continued with a serious expression.

"Out of curiosity, I tried to check the search index of the seven kingdoms, and found that our data had dropped for seven consecutive days after reaching its peak on the second day. According to the current trend, Warcraft will surpass us in a week at the latest. "

Search index down?

The look on Xu Qianshi's face finally changed.

Although there is no direct relationship between search index and sales volume, the former sometimes better reflects the popularity of a game than the latter.

Especially for a game with record sales on the first day, if the topic is not enough, it is likely to open high and go low.

If it's a game with mediocre sales on the first day, it's not impossible to become a black horse if the topic is on the rise.

But Xu Qianshi really can't understand. What is there to search about the poor content of Warcraft?

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked up at Xiao Li standing at his desk.

"What are the most searched related terms about Warcraft?"

As if I had guessed that Xu always asked this question, the employee named Xiao Li said quickly.

"Map editor."

"And... Strategy!"
