Chapter 88 The balance debate

  Official website:

  【It’s snowing occasionally today, the surface temperature has dropped to 0 degrees, and the “Winter Is Coming” expansion is coming to an end. We release 10 additional test qualifications 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 getting colder, 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 testing 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.

  Fujito: "Wife, wife is outrageous! First it was 2000 silver, and then it was 5000 silver! Planner, come out and take care of your NPC! QAQ"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "I don't care, shady! Unless you send me money too! Goblin industry needs subsidies! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻"

  Midnight Killing Chicken: "The strength system needs to be enhanced! It's unreasonable that the ax can't cut through the crab shell! ┬─┬ノ(\'-\'ノ

  Big Eyes of Debt: "Intelligence players protest! We strongly demand that weapons stores add drones and floating cannons! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻"

  Makabazi: "Farming! I want to farm!"

  Stop talking nonsense: "Doesn't anyone care about the fisherman? 500 contribution points are too painful! QAQ"

  Yawyao: "Hahahahaha, hot chicken! You can die when fishing, weak chicken! {*≧≦}"

  The players on the official website had a lot of opinions, and they were almost arguing.

   Actually think about it, what is the most important thing about games?

   Of course balance!

  In reality, you can selectively ignore the gap between rich and poor, but not in the game! Everyone is the same liver, why are you so cool?

   Unreasonable.

  This is so unreasonable!

  Especially the outpost base is not as big as two playgrounds, so it doesn’t necessarily have to be 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 still 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, rationally analyzing 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 an MMORPG, 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's a good thing to be brave in innovation. Give the production team a thumbs up for their courage!"

  Chu Guang has finished reading his post. The place to learn from is to take notes in 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 after this post was posted, a certain small steel bar has come over.

Professor Yang of Raiden Law 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 rivers and lakes. 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!"

Um.

   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, the thinking of this little player can be regarded as a reminder from Chu Guang. You can trust the abilities of the players, but you can never overestimate their bottom line, let alone give up the constraints imposed on them by the rules.

   Even if I increase the shareholding ratio of players in the future, I will not let them exceed 50%.

   At the same time, a warning line for closing positions must be set for the inventory.

  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 give me a break and sell half of it.

   What, you want a shutdown? Limited production? Like the people of Boston throwing bricks into the water?

  Hehe, the NPC warehouse keeps ordering, you can stop production and try, the punishment is to reduce the shareholding [Time-limited task] Do you want to do it or not.

  There is always a way to deal with these little cleverness.

  Professor Yang doesn't know that his theory has caused a certain NPC to write two more strokes in the small notebook, but normal people probably wouldn't expect that the NPC in the game can visit the official website forum.

   At this time, the people from the cattle and horse team came out.

Fang Chang: "Ahem, to clarify the question raised by Professor Yang, 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 cattle and horse 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 seeing 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 are low enough, and the income from cutting a knife and burning bricks will directly eat dirt.

   In short, the first wave of selling is miserable!

  Mole on the run in the canyon: "You are enough! Give it to me! If you don't want to do it, do it to me! (Crazy

  Fang Chang: "Cough."

Professor Yang of Raiden Fawang: "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! (Proud)”

   Chu Guang was shocked when he saw this post.

   Fuck.

   This brother has learned the criminal law!

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Good guy, let's shoot and start in reality."

  Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "I think it's worse than mosquitoes! (Show teeth

  WC really has mosquitoes: "? What does it have to do with me."

  Irena: "Brother, you are a wolf. (Funny

  Fang Chang: "Pattern, pattern, do you think you are the only one who is smart? You want it? If you are smart, think about it again. Why don't I do this, and come here to post to declare that I don't do it. (Squint eyes

  Ye Shi: "Will you come to our factory to move bricks after the closed beta? I will appoint you as the workshop director. (Funny

  Old Bai: "Hahahaha, let's do the public beta! I think the public beta should be OK."

  Guang: Applause

  Fujito: "The planning is great!"

  Professor Yang, Thunder King: "...Uh, it's all theory, don't take it seriously, I'll just say it casually, cough cough. (Sweating soybeans

  Grandpa Ao Nai Wo He: "Laughed, what I said was true. Keep pretending. I'll see how long you can pretend. (Pick your nose

  Quit smoking: "Dad! Please, give me a chance. T.T"

   After closing the post and browsing the official website, Chu Guang 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 non-target group?

  Professor Yang belongs to the fish that slipped through the net, at least not the target group in the closed beta stage.

  Thinking about how to hack every day, using game bugs and planning to fight wits, is it worthy of the hard-working games made by others?

  Can't you just move bricks to NPC?

   They all agreed not to delete the file, let you be T1 and T0!

   "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.

   Breaking through millions or even tens of millions?

  Of course, Chu Guang felt that the designer of this shelter should take these issues into consideration, for example, there are exits on other floors that can go directly to the surface.

After all, it doesn’t make sense for such a large refuge facility to have only one exit to the outside world, and if the “technique for communicating with parallel worlds” is completed in this refuge, then the first-generation manager should leave it to him to produce this kind of training cabin technology.

   Waiting for the ability to send a large number of "players" from the shelter to the surface, it will naturally enter the closed beta.

   When the space limitations of the shelter itself can be separated and "players" are mass-produced on the surface, the public beta will naturally come.

   "Summer salt."

  Hearing Chu Guang suddenly call his name, 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 word slave trader, the little girl's face turned pale, her hands were holding 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, Chu Guangneng drew a tree diagram of the possibilities.

   Tsk, annoying.

  He hates guessing the most.

   Seeing that Chu Guang didn't speak, Xia Yan's face was pale and red, red and blue, the misunderstanding deepened, and the roots of his teeth trembled.

   "I, I, I, I, if 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 a leg left? Why did I sell you?" Chu Guang rolled his eyes and urged, "I'm going to buy some labor, and I'm asking if you are familiar with this field Business people, 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?

Um?

  Although I always felt that Chu Guang's answer was a bit problematic, it was not about selling myself.

  Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and her tensed shoulders also relaxed.

   Slowly leaning back against the wall, she raised her eyebrows, glanced at Chu Guang, 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? At least I am, a serious mercenary, not a predator." Xia Yan argued with a blushing face.

  Chu Guang shrugged and didn't comment.

   Is there a big difference between mercenaries and raiders?

  Even businessmen occasionally act as predators, let alone mercenaries who make a living by guns? But asking about the past is a very boring thing, and it's not important to him.

   "I really don't!"

   "Oh, that's such a pity, I still hope to buy some labor back to help my people reduce the burden."

  Xia Yan glanced at him, tactically frightened, 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 you become a servant directly next time?

   It's so scary...

   This guy must have been a demon in his previous life!

   No, this life is!
