Chapter 86 Players want to curse! (610)
Seeing the collective defeat of the "Heaven-defying Sixteen Bronze Men", Lilith finally couldn't hold back her happy laughter.
"I said this game will definitely catch you all in one fell swoop!
“Let me see how much negativity comes in.
"It's already 750,000!"
Lilith's expression was very proud: "Huh, you haven't experienced all my methods, and you can't stand it anymore? Hey, I have to say that you humans are indeed very fragile creatures!"
Gu Fan had an expression that said, "Yes, yes, everything you said is right."
There is a reason for Lilith's confidence. So far, Professor Ding's "top expedition team" has only been operating on the periphery of the Kingdom of God, randomly picking up some rocks and wood. It is the most dangerous place they have ever been to. This place was just a "prison for sinners", and it was very unfortunate that the group was destroyed.
Where is this?
The powerful monsters Lilith has prepared for players have not yet been put to use!
Like the statue of Medusa, the Holy Spirit Cupid, the guardian of heaven, and the most powerful angel of Cthulhu...
With these things guarding the players, it will be even more difficult for players to obtain materials, and they will definitely generate considerable negative emotions!
Lilith changed a few live broadcast rooms with some unfinished content.
After all, Lecturer Ding and Chen Tingquan are big anchors. They usually only broadcast prime time broadcasts, and rarely happen like the previous situation where they flagged "The Legend of Wolong" all night long.
On the one hand, this is because they do not have to work as hard as small anchors, and on the other hand, it is also to continue the popularity and take care of the audience's time.
Most viewers only have time from 8 pm to 12 pm. Only a very small number of people can really accompany the anchor 24 hours a day. If the broadcast is broadcast all night, many people will only be able to watch the recording.
Moreover, a game that could have been broadcast for a week was finished in two days, which is not conducive to the accumulation of popularity.
But those small anchors don't care so much. Obviously many people will stay up all night to be the first to find the "core gameplay of Nitiantian's new game", hoping to get enough traffic.
But by doing this, they only contributed more negative emotions to Lilith.
Lilith is very satisfied with the current situation of this game.
So far, Fire Thief has provided approximately 750,000 negative sentiment points.
For comparison, "Hell Tracks" had 480,000 before the incident, "Sisyphus" had 780,000, and "Destiny" had 570,000.
From a numerical point of view, the negative emotion value of "The Fire Thief" is still slightly lower than that of "Sisyphus", but it is obviously more confusing!
Because Lecturer Ding’s current exploration rate of the map is only 3%, there are still a large number of places that have not been explored, whether within or outside the Kingdom of God; most teams have only built four or five buildings, and the distance is Construction of all the buildings is still a long way off.
There are also various powerful monsters in the Kingdom of God waiting for players to deliver goods to their doorsteps.
This can easily give players the illusion that "it might get better in the future."
Maybe we can get some means to fight back against monsters in the future?
Maybe you can build it yourself in the future?
Maybe there are some special mechanisms hidden on the map?
They will inevitably continue to tirelessly search for the non-existent "core gameplay" in the game, and in the process, the dangerous exploration of the Kingdom of God and the boring brick-moving will continue to drain their negative emotional value.
Lilith was very convinced that this time she should avenge her shame and earn back all the negative emotions she had lost in the past!
…
…
The next day, Monday.
Except for Gu Fan, all the employees of Nitiantian Games came to the second floor of the cafe very early.
They all had solemn expressions. Some were looking at background data, some were looking at game store player reviews, and some were looking at discussions among netizens.
"So, what is the specific situation now?" Art team leader Guo Hongyu sat next to planner Zhou Yang and asked with concern.
In fact, he had already seen the "mostly negative reviews" in the game store, but he still looked forward to getting some different answers from Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang was silent for a moment: "Actually, from the perspective of laymen like you, the current situation of this game is not optimistic, and it seems that it will be bad in the next second.
“But from the perspective of our insiders, if there is no miracle in the future, this game is already dead!
"If you just look at the sales data, it's not bad. Whether it's pure sales, conversion rate or refund rate, they are all pretty good, at least at the level of a normal game.
"But after two days..."
Zhou Yang didn't say anything further, but everything was left unsaid.
Guo Hongyu was still a bit lucky: "But I remember that "The Legend of Destiny" was also evaluated like this at the beginning."
Zhou Yang looked at him: "There are bugs in "The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon". Does this game have bugs?"
Guo Hongyu scratched his head: "But we haven't detected the bugs in "The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon". This game may not have them..."
Zhou Yang was speechless for a while.
Why do this game’s sales, conversion rate, and refund rate look good? It is even significantly better than the previous games of Nitiantian.
It's very simple, because I got the bonus from the previous games!
The game mechanism of "Fire Thief" is more complex than previous games, so players still don't understand it before the refund time. Based on their trust in the game, they will choose to continue playing.
It is the existence of several previous games that makes players firmly believe that there is some kind of "core mechanism" in this game.
As long as they can find this core mechanism, not only will the game become more fun, they will also have the opportunity to obtain a solid gold trophy from the official, and even become the "first player to discover the core mechanism" and gain access to all the network traffic.
But here comes the question, what if there is no so-called "core mechanism" this time?
It’s hard to imagine what kind of anger Nitiantian will face from players.
As for whether this game has any core mechanics...
Who knows! Anyway, it wasn’t written down in the plan, and all the employees came together to act as testers and couldn’t test it.
Zhou Yang worriedly opened the players' discussion thread to check.
"Nitian Tian has once again subverted my understanding of games. It turns out that construction games can only move bricks and cannot build freely!"
"Didn't the supervisor say that as long as a certain number of buildings are completed, you can build freely?"
"Shit! I and a few buddies stayed up all night until 8 o'clock in the morning, were shaken three times, and built about a dozen buildings. There is no option to build freely! This is cyber fraud!"
"Am I the only one who wants to complain about the outrageous professional skills in this game? Warriors can capture small and medium-sized monsters, but at least 80% of the games in this crap are large monsters! I only encountered a small spider when it was a small monster, and it was killed by a teammate with a shovel Shoot to death!"
"The comedian is the best. This profession itself is a joke. It's just a team-killing engine."
"The store system is also a mess! I just bought a lantern, a shovel and a pickaxe, and they all seemed quite useful. Are you thinking about saving more money? But after a lot of effort, I sold iron and bought crossbow arrows, only to find that they were of no use at all! I can't beat them. I still can’t defeat the monster!”
"Many monsters in this game are invincible and instantly killed. I think the 100-gold-coin crossbow is just a rip-off! It's not as useful as a shovel."
"The most outrageous thing is that these monsters can also perform combos. Do you know how my heart collapsed when I stared at the statue and the Medusa statue at the same time??"
The Staring Statue is a strange stone statue carved with a huge Weeping Angel. It will only stop when the player is looking at it. Once it is not looked at, it will instantly kill the player. Simply put, it is "can't help but look";
The Medusa statue is a huge stone statue carved with Medusa's head. It can also move at extremely fast speeds, but once the player looks at it, it will gradually become petrified. Simply put, it "cannot be looked at."
And when the two statues appear together, the player will die if they look at them, and they will die if they don't look at them.
"Hey, these are actually okay. I barely play it as an adventure game, but what's the screening mechanism of Fire Thief? Why do the ones who don't want to enter get selected all the time? It's my illusion. ?"
"I made an appointment with the girl to play this game together. I agreed that I would go explore her to build, but she turned out to be a fire thief every time... Now the girl has quit the game and blocked my contact information. …”
"I admit that taking risks is difficult, but what's the point of taking risks? After going through so much trouble to get back a bunch of materials, it turns out that you can't build it yourself, and then an earthquake knocks everything down after you have built it? This is what people do. What about the Tower of Babel that recreates ancient Babylon??”
"However, this game also has advantages. For example, the construction system is quite detailed and can even be constructed with voxel accuracy."
"Dear me, isn't this the most expensive template on the official platform? Just buy it and use it! The most annoying thing is that their templates originally support free construction, but "Fire Thief" still uses this function It’s restricted! You say it’s immoral, but it’s not immoral!”
"...Wan Duzi, isn't this just taking the dross and discarding the essence? It seems that Ni Tiantian has finally lost his game this time, and is probably about to overturn!"
