Chapter 1043 A Better World of Warcraft

Everyone never thought of the idea of ​​a classification server, but it is undoubtedly the best way to perfectly solve the global interconnection. Of course, there are also many problems.

For example, if dozens or even hundreds of cities apply for an attack on one city at the same time, the demand for bandwidth and servers will be extremely scary at that time. What should we do if we really face this situation?

For this problem, Lin Feng had already had a countermeasure. "Everyone, if players from all over the world apply to attack at the same time, this is not a problem at all." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Everyone was taken aback.

"It's very simple, there is no "portal" in "War of the Worlds". Something like that, players want to go to another one. Cities must pass through various means of transportation, and each means of transportation has its own transportation time, and this time difference is enough to solve this problem. "Lin Feng shrugged easily.

Everyone patted their foreheads and sighed that they were confused. Isn't that right? "War of the Worlds" is a simulated first-person shooter game, not a western fantasy game like "Legend". There will be some "teleportation scroll". If the player wants to move, he must take a vehicle. Of course, he can also use his legs to walk. But as long as it is not the type of teleportation, then it will definitely take time in the middle of the journey.

In "War of the Worlds", there are only a few cities adjacent to a city, and it is impossible to have hundreds of cities nearby, so naturally there will be a time difference in the transportation process. What's more, once a war is involved, the transportation of various large weapons. It takes more time.

"What if the players assemble in advance? What about applying for a battle after gathering troops in one place?" Min Wu Yili said.

"Hehe, this may indeed exist. If the player is really like this, we cannot solve this hardware bottleneck technically. However, don't forget that this world, especially in this virtual world, is a small area where there are no secrets. It is possible to secretly mobilize troops internally, but it is absolutely impossible to assemble a large number of troops in a large area." Lin Feng smiled.

This is indeed a bit helpless. In today's Internet age, it's really hard to have secrets, especially in games. This one is more difficult! What's more, is this war based on the country? Once the country is involved, there will be a national complex, and in today's era of globalization, various nationalities belong to a mixed state of existence. This secret is naturally even more difficult to keep secret.

Just have one. If someone posts the news of the secret mobilization of troops on the Internet, then the world will know about it.

Minwu Yili thought about it, isn't that so! He also shook his head helplessly. No way, this is the case in the Internet age. When providing convenience to human beings, it also takes away human rights to a certain extent.

"Lin, how to solve the problem of the player's computer performance? You know,

The better your computer, the more players War of the Worlds can accommodate and the better the game will be! " Minwu Yili asked.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Minwu, I just said that, I will talk about this issue later." Lin Feng put it off.

Min Wu and Li felt helpless for a while.

"Boss, our department is working on Heroes of Might and Magic, probably at the beginning of the sixth game," Minister Qiao said.

Lin Feng nodded. This will be an attempt of the "Second World" strategy online game. If the design is distinctive enough to be the same as its stand-alone version, it will set off a revolution in online strategy games.

"Heroes of Nowhere", what an exciting game this is. However, whether it can be successful depends on how well the "Sixth Game Beginning" is designed.

Subsequently, both the seventh game opening and the eighth game opening reported their respective progress, but there was not much excitement.

Immediately, the newly established Ninth Game Development Department and Tenth Game Development Department of "Second World" reported work. This is also the first time that the two major game divisions have participated in this conference.

"Lin!" Mike Moreyme cleared his throat. Being in the limelight makes Mike Mowaime proud and a little nervous.

After listening to the meeting just now, Mike Mohuaimi had a real understanding of the strength of the "Second World". Originally, he was quite confident in Blizzard, thinking that it would never be inferior to any game department of "Second World", and even vaguely felt that it was better than the eight major game departments of "Second World". But now, he felt that Blizzard also belonged to an above-average game development department in the "Second World".

Think about the "Fifth Game Opening Department" that is about to open beta "War of the Worlds", investing billions of dollars and costing more than 3 years. This progress, Pen Blizzard is still Blizzard. Even Mike Moreyme felt that "Second World" was a little too cautious and a little too refined. This kind of attitude is a bit too "Blizzard"!

There is also "Infinite Horror", the kind of madness during the opening process also made Mike Mowaime feel inferior. This is definitely more crazy than "Blizzard". The degree of madness of "Blizzard" can be called "Blizzard".

After thinking about it, Mike Moreyme sighed.

"Lin, we are Blizzard Entertainment, oh, no, the current work focus of the Ninth Game Development Department is "StarCraft Pound He" Mai Zhi Mo Huaimi was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Mike, when will "StarCraft Gai" be released?" Cui Ming, the head of the "First Game Development Department", asked subconsciously. He knew it was a bit impolite as soon as he said a single word, so he quickly got up and bowed to apologize.

Everyone smiled for a while. This is not to blame for Cui Ming's rudeness, it can only be said that South Korea's plan for StarCraft made him so rude.

"Everyone, the current focus of my department's work is StarCraft, which will be launched in China. I want to hear Lin's opinion."

Mike Yimo Huaimi looked at Lin Feng. Originally, "World of Warcraft" should be tested in Korea before Christmas. As a result, under Lin Feng's one-word order, it has been delayed until now. As for the time for the public beta test, it has not yet been determined. Mike Morwaimi needed an answer from Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mike, I think that World of Warcraft should be tested in the region with the most developed Internet market in the world. Looking around the world, there is no region with more players than Chinese players, no region with more fanatical players than Chinese players, and no region with more fanaticism than Chinese players. The upgrade rate of online games in any region can be upgraded faster than that of Chinese players! Therefore, there is no more suitable place for the public beta of "World of Warcraft" except China." Lin Feng explained

After hearing this, everyone smiled and said nothing.

Mike Yimohuaimi didn't know what everyone was laughing at, but although Lin Feng's words were a bit far-fetched, they were true. After thinking about it, he accepted Lin Feng's explanation.

Everyone looked at Mike Mohuaimi and finally had no choice but to accept Lin Feng's explanation, and laughed inwardly. Lin Feng's explanations are all nonsense. In fact, Lin Feng is a little selfish, a little selfish for the welfare of Chinese players. But the "second world" is in China. Moreover, most of the company's employees are Chinese, and Lin Feng is also Chinese, so this selfishness is tacitly understood by everyone.

Mai Zhi Mo Huai Mi will just get used to it in the future! One must know that Lin Feng is a Huan nationalist, of course, not an extreme nationalist. Just where possible. will favor their own compatriots.

"Lin, we decided to open beta for "World of Warcraft" at the end of this month, that is, the old day of the month!" Mike Mohuaimi said.

Lin Feng shook his head again.

Everyone was stunned. "World of Warcraft" is a game launched by Blizzard with painstaking efforts. With Blizzard's strength, it is naturally not bad. The sooner the public beta is released, the sooner it can make money. I don't know why Lin Feng refused!

"Mike, you must not understand why I rejected the public beta of "The World of Beasts", right?" Lin Feng said.

Mike Moreyme nodded. "It's very simple. Because I think "World of Warcraft" can be better! It can be better than it is now!" Lin Feng said.

better! "World of Warcraft" can be better than it is now, Mo Huaimi said in surprise.

In his heart, "World of Warcraft" is already very perfect, on the premise that Lin Feng has never played "World of Warcraft" carefully. To say it could be even better is incredible!

But Mike Yi Mohuaimi really wanted to know which aspect Lin Feng was referring to better! How could World of Warcraft be better!

Lin Feng tapped his fingers on the table and looked at the crowd with an inscrutable expression on his face.

As a superior, sometimes you need a little mystery, a little unfathomable, so that your subordinates can feel a sense of awe. This time is the time to pretend to be deep.

After pretending to be deep and vague, Lin Feng slowly spit out his improvement plan for "World of Warcraft".

"Mike, the first shortcoming in "World of Warcraft" is that the long-range is like an automatic tracking missile, and the player can't dodge at all. Arguing whether the player jumps, squats, or runs left and right, there is no way to avoid the opponent's long-range attack. This is too It's unreal! And in the previous "Diablo" developed by Northern Blizzard Studio, these long-range attacks can be dodged!" Lin Feng tapped his fingers heavily.

Mike Mowaime was taken aback when he heard this. He has also considered this issue, but World of Warcraft is an online game. This modification is too complicated. Blizzard Entertainment also held a meeting to discuss it, but after weighing the gains and losses in the end, they decided not to modify it. Unexpectedly, he was picked out by Lin Feng.

"As for the other point, this is what I have considered. I think that "World of Warcraft" should add a player's assignment function. For example, a player goes to a place to assign a mission, and wants to offer a reward to kill a certain player, or ask to take a certain player. A quest even requires something (unbound). All players can accept the quest after submitting an application to the old and handing over the bounty or item ten quest cloth cost, and the player can take it after completing it Task rewards and hand over the handling fee." Lin Feng said.

When Mai Zhi Mo Huai Mi heard this, he took a deep breath. The idea is really interesting and interesting! "World of Warcraft" does not have such a function, it would be really nice to introduce such a function. This is equivalent to adding a new professional bounty hunter to the game. And most importantly, it will make the game more fun.

Think about it, for example, if you want some kind of equipment or props, but you can't get them yourself, then you can complete them by assigning tasks. Of course, this is not what Mike Morhaime finds interesting. The most interesting thing is. Players can set tasks to avenge those who killed them. This is especially important for low-level players.

The left and right areas of "World of Warcraft" are low-level players or any player. They will always be killed by players who are higher than their own level, or have a high level of operation and equipment. usually. Sometimes it is difficult to retaliate, or to say, it is difficult to have time to hunt and kill all over the world. Therefore, it would be perfect to take revenge by assigning missions!

In that way, the whole game world will be more exciting and attractive. quests that players can complete. Almost endless. After all, players may assign all kinds of unimaginable tasks, which are not available in system tasks.

"Lin, the first point, we need to consider. But the second point. It's pretty good. We will improve immediately!" Mike Yimohuaimi slapped the table and stood up. He has been deeply attracted by the idea of ​​Belinfeng. If "World of Warcraft" adds the function of players assigning tasks, the game will be more perfect.

It is not only "World of Warcraft" that is inspired, other game development departments are also deeply inspired by this. Adding players to assign tasks, this setting is not complicated in design, it just needs to be conceived. Unexpectedly, this idea was thought up by Lin Feng.

high! It's really high!

"Mike, regarding the first point, I also hope you can improve it. Isn't Blizzard's aim to keep improving, and our company is the same. If it can be more perfect, I don't mind spending more time!" Lin Feng said seriously.

Mai Zhi Mo Huai Mi nodded. Since Lin Feng doesn't mind spending more time and money. He naturally has nothing to mind.

"Lin, don't worry. I will definitely modify "World of Warcraft" to be more perfect!" Mike Mohuaimi said firmly.

Lin Feng smiled, it couldn't be better.

At this time, it was the turn of the tenth game to open the original northern Blizzard studio.

"Lin, the progress of "Diablo God of Destruction" is already on the schedule. After this vacation, our focus will be "Diablo God of Destruction", but when will it be released for public beta. I can't promise you, we can only promise We will try our best to increase the speed while ensuring the best quality!" Bill Roper said.

Lin Feng nodded. This has always been the case at Blizzard North Studios. Naturally, I don't have to rush.

Afterwards, Lin Feng set his sights on the hardware department. For a long time, the profit of "Second World" has relied on the game department, and now it's time for the hardware department to contribute!
