Capítulo 87: Chapter 87. The Balance Debate
Official website:
[ It's snowing occasionally today, the surface temperature has dropped to 0 degrees, and the "Winter is Coming" expansion pack is coming to an end, and an additional 10 beta test qualifications are released to give back to the little players who have been waiting for a long time on the official website and insist on checking in. ]
[ In addition, the temperature is cold, everyone remember to add clothes. ]
Today's version number is still Alpha0.4. The announcement on the official website still doesn't mention any news about the Alpha0.5 version, only one announcement about the test situation of the "Weather system".
However, what the netizens discussed on the forum today rarely has anything to do with the planning team's announcement. Almost all the topics and slots are focused on the in-game enhancement of life professional players.
Shuri: "Manager is outrageous! First it was 2000 silver, and then it was 5000 silver! Planners come out and take care of your NPC! ( ≧Д≦)"
WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "I don't care, shady! Unless you send me money too! Goblin Industry needs subsidies! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻"
Tabletop Cop: "The strength system needs to be enhanced! It's unreasonable that the ax can't cut through the crab shell! (`▭´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻"
Big Eyes in Debt: "Intellect players protest! We strongly demand that the weapon store add drones and floating cannons! (ノT＿T)ノ ＾┻━┻"
Red Face Boxer: "Farming! I want to farm!"
Cut The Bullshit: "Is there no one who cares about the fisherman? 500 contribution points are too painful! ಥ_ಥ"
Yaya: "Hahahahaha, hot chicken! Fishing can kill you, weak chicken! {*≧?≦}"
The players on the official website had a lot of opinions, and they were almost arguing.
In fact, think about it, what is the most important thing in the game? Balance, of course!
In reality, you can selectively ignore the gap between the rich and the poor, but not in the game! Everyone is the same, why are you so cool and not me?
Unreasonable. This is so unreasonable!
In particular, the outpost is not as big as two playgrounds, and it may not necessarily cover 20 acres. A brick factory actually has 15 acres, which is equivalent to setting up another sub-base. Even if the player only has 20% control, it affects the balance a bit.
In any case, it must be below 5% to be more reasonable! Of course, there are also players who pursue another level of rationality, such as the escaped mole in the canyon who has been clamoring for the development of a "Free trade" system.
This guy opened a special post and rationally analyzed the rationality of this wave.
"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you think. A good economic cycle system is necessary for a game that pursues details. Have you heard of "Albion"? Although it is MM, the economic system inside is very good. Excellent, all the gear in the game is player-produced, basically your class is determined by what you 'Wear'."
"The design that impressed me the most is that the cities in the game are economically independent from each other. Although there are auction houses that can be traded, they are not actively circulated. Players can buy stores, open workshops, build their own equipment, or It is rented to players for a fee. The equipment produced can not only be auctioned to players, but also sold on the black market."
"The most eye-catching thing is the black market. The equipment sold on the black market will be bought by 'Monsters' and become the trophies for players to kill monsters. And if no one sells a piece of equipment, the black market will be within a certain limit. Raise its price to induce players to produce."
"Obviously Wasteland OL is also building a similar economic system, but according to my observations, Wasteland OL's economic system will be closer to reality. I don't know if you have noticed that different NPC strongholds actually use different currencies! So trade is mostly barter!"
"Maybe there will be an exchange rate setting in the later stage, but this system will be very complicated, even close to a 'Chaotic system', making the changes in economic-related values in the game tend to be unpredictable, and I don't know if the server's CPU can handle it."
"No matter how you say it, it is a good thing to be brave in innovation. Give the production team a thumbs up for their courage!"
Lucius has finished reading his post. The place to learn from is to take notes according to the old rules. If there are too many notes in this note, Alpha0.5 will come out. However, I don't know if the server can handle it or not. Within a few minutes of posting this post, a certain small king has come over.
The Thunder King: "Hehe, I haven't played the game you mentioned, but my point of view is still the same. It is a failure to allow players to intervene too much in what should be done by NPCs! Where there are people, there are conflict. I can't guess where the bottom line of the players is! If I were the manager of that brick factory, I wouldn't sell it to the NPC warehouse, and then raise the price of bricks, do you want to buy it or not!"
Ok. This is indeed a problem, but this problem may only appear in later versions, not in the present.
This cloud player may have forgotten that once he accepts the hidden mission, it means giving up 80% of the control to the "NPC". It's okay to run a good business, but if you want to drive up prices and engage in hunger sales?
You see, if the NPC messes with you, it's over. There are far more ways to choose in the game than in reality.
However, this little player's thinking can be regarded as a reminder from Lucius. You can trust the players' abilities, but you can never overestimate their bottom line, let alone give up using the rules to restrict them.
Even if I increase the shareholding ratio of the players in the future, it will not let them exceed 50%. At the same time, a warning line for closing positions must be set for the stock.
Once the inventory reaches the liquidation warning line, the balance mechanism will be automatically triggered. Even if you don't want to sell it, you have to sell half of it to me.
What, you want to stop work? Limited production? Like the people of Boston throwing bricks into the water?
Hehe, the orders in the NPC warehouse keep coming, you stop production and try, the punishment is to reduce the shareholding [ Limited time task ] do you want to do it or not. There is always a way to deal with these little cleverness.
This Thunder King didn't know that his theory had already caused a certain NPC to write two more strokes in the small notebook, but normal people probably would not have thought that the NPC in the game could visit the official website forum.
At this time, the people from The Cowboy Team came out.
Tomorrow Seeker: "Ahem, to clarify the question raised by The Thunder King, first of all, you can't treat the player group as a whole. It's like eating chicken, some people cheat, and some insist on maintaining the game environment, right? I don't care about others, but we The Cowboy Team still has morals, and will not do things like driving up prices in the game, not now, nor in the future, everyone, please rest assured."
"In addition, we are actually part-time workers. 80% of the shares in the brick factory are owned by the shelter collective, and we only have 20%. To be honest, this is a bit like a hot potato. The rewards paid are not proportional to the income. You don't think so good."
He didn't want to clarify, but judging from the intense discussion on the official website, he was afraid that the planner would interfere with the game and directly cut off the income from burning bricks.
Originally, 20% of the shares were low enough, and the income from cutting a knife and burning bricks would directly eat dirt. In short, the first wave of selling is miserable!
Mole In The Hole: "You are enough! Give it to me! If you don't want to do it, let's me do it! (`▭´)ﾉ"
Tomorrow Seeker: "Cough."
The Thunder King: "Hehe, if you say no, you won't? And what's wrong with the 20% of the shares? In fact, the players are still running the business, right? I still say that, you can never underestimate a player's moral bottom line, never someone will find a way to take advantage of the loophole!"
"For example, I can deliberately throw away part of the inventory, saying that the firing failed, but actually keep it secret, and sell it to players in need through third-party players at a price lower than the market price. This will not only bypass the NPC's warehouse, but also bypass you know what I mean, even if there is a loss on the book, the player can still make a steady profit! And the money goes directly into the pocket!"
Lucius was shocked when he saw this post.
F*ck. This brother has learned the criminal law!
WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "Good guy, put it in reality and shoot it to start."
Scrambled Eggs: "I think it's worse than Mosquito! <(￣︶￣)>"
WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "? What does it have to do with me."
Irena: "Brother, you are a wolf. ᕙ( : ˘ ∧ ˘ : )ᕗ"
Tomorrow Seeker: "Pattern, pattern, do you think you're the only one who is smart? You want it? If you're smart, think about it again. Why don't I do this, and come here to post a statement stating that I don't do it. (┐( ˘_˘)┌)"
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Will you come to our factory to move bricks after the closed beta? I will hire you as the workshop director. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧"
Badass Bunny: "Hahahaha, let's go to the public test! I think the public test should be OK."
Light: "(Applause)"
Shuri: "Big planning!"
The Thunder King: "...Uh, it's all theory, don't take it seriously, I'll just say it casually, cough cough. (٥↼_↼)"
Killing Chicken At Midnight: "Laughed, what you said is true. Keep pretending. I'll see how long you can pretend. ( ՞ਊ ՞)"
Quit Smoking: "Dad! Please, give me a chance. .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·."
After closing the post and browsing the official website, Lucius found that the number of reservations had increased from 888 to 996.
Although the drainage method of volunteers taking the bait is a bit inefficient, the advantage is that it can screen out a large number of non-target groups.
What is a non-target group?
The Thunder King is a fish that slipped through the net, at least not the target group in the beta testing stage.
Thinking about how to open and hack every day, using game bugs and planning to fight wits and courage, is it worthy of the game that others have worked so hard to make?
Can't you just move bricks to NPCs?
"I have to find a way to open the B2 floor... There are so many small players waiting to go online and move bricks."
I don't know how many training cabins there are on the B2 floor. However, there is still a problem here. There are less than one hundred players now, and the capacity of the elevator is already a bit tight. What will happen when the number of players exceeds 10000 in the future?
Breaking through millions or even tens of millions? Of course, Lucius felt that the designers of this shelter should consider these issues, such as the exits on other floors that can reach the surface.
After all, it doesn't make sense for such a large shelter facility to have only one exit to the outside world, and if the "Technique for communicating with parallel worlds" is completed in this shelter, then the first-generation Manager should leave it to him to produce this kind of training cabin technology.
When a large number of "Players" can be projected from the shelter to the surface, it will naturally enter the closed beta.
When the "Players" can be mass-produced on the surface without the space limitations of the shelter itself, the public beta will naturally come.
"Sumeria."
Hearing Lucius call his name suddenly, the proprietress of the weapon shop who was sitting in the corner reciting a book until she was dizzy froze for a moment, and looked up at him blankly.
"What?"
"Do you know how to contact the slave trader?"
Hearing the words "Slave trader", the little girl's face turned pale, her hands clutched the book tightly, and her body seemed to shrink back.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"...?"
Although she knew that she probably thought too much, but where did she go in her brain, Luciusneng drew a tree diagram of the possibilities.
Tsk, annoying.
He hates guessing.
Seeing that Lucius didn't speak, Sumeria's face was pale and red, red and blue, and the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, so he said with trembling teeth.
"If I, I, I, I don't do well, you tell me, I will definitely change it. Don't, don't sell me... Please."
"...What stupid things are you talking about? Don't you have one leg left? Why did I sell you?" Lucius rolled his eyes and urged, "I'm going to buy some labor. People who are in business, do you have a word to hurry up?"
This guy is really too idle. Generally speaking, when you hear that a company is going to lay off employees, the person who is most afraid must be the one who often fishes. If you don't touch fish, what are you afraid of?
Ok? Although she always felt that Lucius's answer was a bit problematic, it was not about selling herself.
Sumeria breathed a sigh of relief, and her tensed shoulders also relaxed. Slowly leaning back against the wall, she raised her eyebrows, glanced at Lucius, and muttered.
"I, where do I know that kind of businessman? Do you think I look like someone who can afford slaves?"
"Tsk, you haven't sold it?"
"Who do you think I am? I am anyway, a serious mercenary, not a predator." Sumeria argued with a blushing face.
Lucius shrugged and didn't comment. Is there a big difference between mercenaries and predator?
Even businessmen would occasionally act as predators, let alone mercenaries who used to make a living by guns? But asking about the past is a very boring thing, and it's not important to him.
"I really didn't!!"
"Oh, that's such a pity. I still hope that I can buy some labor back and help my people relieve some of the burden."
Sumeria glanced at him, tactically afraid, she shrugged her shoulders and said nothing.
I remember last time this guy still used the word "Resident" to refer to those blue coats who couldn't speak, but this time he actually started to use "People".
Will it become a servant directly next time? It's really scary...
This guy must have been a demon in his previous life! No, it is in this life!
