The three-day test was over, probably because of taking care of the African Chief Lin Yu, and no one revealed the truth in front of him.

Until the day before he left, Lin Yu ran into Chuhe while eating in the company's restaurant, and offered to make a suggestion.

"Mr. Chu, I think the DNF game is really fun! At the beginning, I thought 2D and arcade games were not interesting, but I gradually developed my own character, and the fighting in the PK field is really exciting. , but there is one more important point, which is the problem of drop rate. During the test, the drop rate should be raised. However, I have completed four to five hundred dungeons in the past three days, entered sixty or seventy abyss parties, and have the lowest level The equipment is all pink artifacts, and there are a lot of golden epics that I don’t use.”

While eating the big chicken drumsticks, Lin Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a very calm tone.

"Well, this suggestion is worthy of our reference. We will definitely seriously consider the issue of the game's explosion rate." Chuhe, who was holding the chopsticks, could not help but twitch the muscles at the corner of his mouth, and said very seriously.

With such a high explosion rate, the other testers have long been wearing golden epic equipment. Although it is not the strongest suit of their profession, it is various parts. You are the only one with the pink artifact. Character and luck can no longer be simply described.

We must study the problem of explosion rate, otherwise, an African chief like you may not even think about graduating in DNF in his life, even if he spends money to become a local tyrant krypton gold player, there is probably no such hope.

"President Chu, I hope to see the DNF public beta sooner!" Before leaving, Lin Yu said with a smile.

After Lin Yu left, Chuhe led a group of DNF's planners to another meeting to discuss.

"Mr. Chu, is there any question?" Everyone looked at Chuhe curiously, all the feedback about the game had been selected a few days ago.

Some suitable ones will be modified immediately, and at the same time, some operational details of the game and UI design will also be adjusted.

It can be said that their current task is not small, because the basic content of the entire game has been completed, and the relevant version numbers have also been sent to the Ministry of Culture and other relevant units for review.

Therefore, they should fix and adjust the feedback received from the first-stage test and some bugs found as soon as possible, and then conduct the second test to ensure that there is no problem with the game itself.

A game, especially an online game for players, is actually not as simple as imagined. If the development and follow-up official review are all smooth sailing, then the biggest problem facing online games is when testing .

Generally speaking, the game will undergo several tests, and the first round is generally a closed test. Generally speaking, ordinary players will not know this kind of test. Just like this DNF test, it is conducted in secret. The content of the test Players who participate in the test must also sign a non-disclosure agreement.

After that, there will be the limited activation code test and the unlimited number test that players are more familiar with. Basically, during the test, the game is the same as DNF, and many subsequent contents have not been developed. The purpose of the test is not only to find BUG, Another purpose is to test the response of the game.

If the response is good, then there will be follow-up testing and development plans, if not, then it will have to be reworked.

If a game reaches the unlimited number test, it is basically not far from the public beta, and the only difference is to get the relevant version number.

"About the issue of strengthening equipment in the game, I think we need to seriously consider it." Chu He said looking at the crowd.

Like other online games, DNF also has the function of strengthening equipment, and the attributes of +15 weapons and blank weapons are also very different.

But it is different from ordinary online games. In DNF, the strengthening resources are basically gold coins, and a material called furnace carbon rock dropped by monsters, but after strengthening to 10, if the strengthening fails, it is not a drop Level, but the entire equipment is disassembled and smashed, leaving you with only a pile of materials.

"With such a strengthening mechanism, I think some African chiefs will never want to see weapons above +10 in their lifetime." Chu He looked at the crowd and said.

Hearing Chuhe's words, everyone immediately thought of someone they met during the test, and subconsciously nodded in agreement.

"Also, we have to take into account that the equipment will be shattered after strengthening. This will deal a great blow to the players." Chu He said, looking at the crowd.

Generally, games have to take into account the cost of abandoning pits, that is, how much money you have spent in this game, and to what extent this account has been built.

The reason why so many players still play many old games is due to feelings on the one hand and the cost of abandoning pits on the other.

Generally, if the equipment in online games is strengthened to a certain level, it will not be broken after failure, but will be directly reduced to 0. This undoubtedly increases the cost of abandoning the pit.

Take a gamble, if the enhancement fails and the equipment is broken, then you can find a perfect excuse for yourself. If the equipment is broken, just abandon the pit.

But if it fails, it just becomes 0, but the equipment is still there. This needs to consider the cost of abandoning the pit. Are the equipment still in the test? What if the next time I succeed in strengthening myself to more than 10?

Although it is said that the enhancement is the player's own choice, sometimes the player is very unreasonable, and for DNF's game equipment design, the cost of such enhancement setting is still too high.

"Add a strengthening protection scroll. When strengthening equipment above 10, you can choose to use the protection scroll. After failure, the equipment will not be broken, but the strengthening level will be cleared." Chuhe said to everyone.

"In addition, we can consider launching fixed reinforcement scrolls in the follow-up activity tasks, so that non-chieftain players can also experience the experience of +10 or more." Chu He added after thinking about it.

After all, for some African chiefs, even if there is such a thing as an enhanced protection scroll, it is estimated that there is no chance to strengthen the equipment to more than 10.

"Then Mr. Chu, in what form should the enhanced protection scroll be added to the game? Put it in the mall?" Someone asked Chuhe.

If it is an ordinary online game company, there is no doubt that such things as enhanced protection scrolls must be put in the mall, and it has nothing to do with ordinary players. Even if it is too much, this enhanced protection scroll needs to be opened. This kind of thing can be done.

"Players can purchase a limited number of enhanced protection coupons in the weekly mall, and they can also perform weekly tasks to exchange for enhanced protection coupons." Chu He thought for a while and said.

"In addition, regarding the enhanced protection volume, an attribute needs to be set to prohibit trading, and some pink artifacts must also be prohibited from trading, just like the golden epic equipment." Chu He said to everyone.

If these things can be traded, Chuhe has already predicted how crazy the studio will be.

Looking at the people who wrote down the things he mentioned, Chuhe couldn't help sighing in his heart, he had done enough for players like the great African chief.

I played DNF relatively early, but the version before the big transfer was withdrawn, and some activities have come back later~ The one who impresses me the most is the woman Kaili! I don't know how many weapons were destroyed in the hands of that woman. At that time, he was considered a top rich man with tens of millions of gold coins. But from a top rich man to a beggar on the roadside, only one enhancement is needed!
