This Game Is Too Realistic

Official website:

[It snowed heavily today and the surface temperature dropped to 0 degrees. The "Winter is Coming" expansion pack is coming to an end. We have specially released 10 additional closed beta qualifications to give back to the young players who have been waiting for a long time on the official website and insist on checking in. 】

[In addition, the temperature will be cold, so please remember to put on some clothes. 】

Today’s version number is still Alpha0.4.

The announcement on the official website still did not mention any news about the Alpha0.5 version, only an announcement about the "weather system" testing situation.

However, the content discussed by netizens on the forum today rarely has anything to do with the announcement made by the planning team.

Almost all the topics and slots focus on the in-game enhancements of professional players.

Teng Teng: "This is outrageous! First 2,000 silver, then 5,000 silver! Please come out and take care of your NPCs! QAQ"

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "I don't care, it's shady! Unless you pay me too! Goblin industry needs subsidies! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻"

Killing chickens at midnight: "The strength system needs to be strengthened! It is unreasonable if the ax cannot chop the crab shell! ┬─┬ノ('-'ノ)"

Big Eyes of Debt: "Intelligence players protest! Strongly request the weapon store to add drones and floating cannons! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻"

Makabazi: "Farming! I want to farm!"

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

Crow Crow: "Hahahahaha, you're a hot chicken! You can even die fishing, you're a weak chicken! {*≧??≦}"

Players on the official website have great opinions and are almost in a quarrel.

In fact, think about it, what is the most important thing about a game?

Of course it’s balance!

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

unreasonable.

This is so unreasonable!

In particular, the outpost base is less than the size of two playgrounds, and it may not necessarily be 20 acres in total. A brick factory actually has 15 acres, which is equivalent to setting up a new branch base.

Even if the player only has 20% control, it will affect the balance a bit.

No matter what, it has to be below 5% to be more reasonable!

Of course, there are also players who pursue another level of rationality, such as the canyon fugitive mole who has been clamoring to develop a "free trade" system.

This guy opened a special post and rationally analyzed the rationality of this.

"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 well done. Excellent, all the equipment in the game is produced by players, and your career is basically determined by what you wear."

“The design that impressed me most is that the cities in the game are economically independent from each other. Although there are auctions for transactions, they are not actively circulated. Players can buy stores, open workshops, and build their own equipment, or Rent it to players for a handling fee. The equipment produced can not only be auctioned to players, but also sold to the black market."

"The most eye-catching one is the black market. Equipment sold to the black market will be bought by 'monsters' and become 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 it.”

"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 wonder if you have noticed that different NPC bases actually use different currencies! So trade is mostly barter!”

"There may be exchange rate settings in the later stage, but such a system will be very complex, even close to a 'chaos system', making the changes in economic-related values ​​​​in the game unpredictable. I don't know whether the server's CPU can handle it. !”

"No matter what, being brave in innovation is a good thing. Thumbs up to the production team for their courage!"

Chu Guang has finished reading his post. What he should learn from is the old rule of taking notes. If you take too many notes, won't Alpha0.5 come out?

However, I don’t know whether the server can handle it or not. A few minutes after this post was posted, a small steel bar had already come over.

Thunder King Professor Yang: "Haha, I have never played the game you mentioned, but my point of view is still the same. It is a failure to allow players to overly interfere in things that should be done by NPCs! Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, you will never I can’t guess where the players’ bottom line is! If I were the director 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 future versions, not now.

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 what if you want to drive up prices and engage in starvation sales?

It depends on whether the NPC messes with you or not.

There are many more options to choose from in the game than in reality.

However, this young player's thinking can be regarded as a reminder to Chu Guang. You can trust the players' abilities, but you can never overestimate their bottom line, let alone give up using the rules to constrain them.

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

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

Once the inventory reaches the liquidation warning line, the balancing mechanism is automatically triggered. Even if you hold it in your hand and don't want to sell it, you still have to break the bones and sell half of it.

What, you want to shut down? Production limit? Do you want to follow the example of the people of Boston and throw bricks into the water?

Haha, the orders in the NPC warehouse are non-stop. You can try to stop production. The penalty is a [limited time task] with a reduction in equity. You can do it or not.

There's always a way to cure these little smarties.

Professor Yang didn't know that his theory had caused an NPC to write two more entries in his notebook, but normal people probably wouldn't have thought that NPCs in the game could actually visit the official forum.

At this time, the people from the Cow Horse Team came out.

Fang Chang: "Ahem, let me clarify the question raised by Professor Yang. First of all, you cannot treat the player group as a whole. Just like in chicken games, some people cheat, and some insist on maintaining the game environment, right? I can't control others, but we The Niu Ma Team still has integrity and will not do things like driving up prices in the game. We won’t do it now and we won’t do it in the future. Please rest assured.”

"In addition, we are actually part-time workers. 80% of the shares in the brick factory are owned by Shelter Collective, and we only have 20%. To be honest, this is a bit like a hot potato. The rewards are not proportional to the income. You don't think so. So good."

He didn't want to clarify, but seeing how intense the discussion was on the official website, he was afraid that the planners would interfere with the game and directly cut off the income from burning bricks.

Originally, 20% of the shares was low enough, but if you cut the profit of burning bricks again, it would be a waste.

In short, the sales will be miserable first!

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

Fang Chang: "Ahem."

Thunder King Professor Yang: "Haha, you said you wouldn't, so you won't? And what about the 20% 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 it!"

"For example, I can deliberately throw away part of the inventory and say that the firing failed, but actually secretly store it and sell it to players in demand through third-party players at a price lower than the market price. This not only bypasses the NPC's warehouse, but also bypasses Overcoming the restrictions of corporate accounts! You know what I mean, even if there is a loss on the book, players can still make steady money! And it is money that goes directly into their pockets! (Proud)"

Chu Guang was shocked when he saw this post.

Damn it.

This brother has learned the criminal law clearly!

WC really has mosquitoes: "Good guy, let's start by shooting him in reality."

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "I think it's worse than a mosquito! (Baring teeth)"

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

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

Fang Chang: "The pattern, the pattern, do you think you are the only one who is smart? You can only imagine it? If you are smart, then think about it again, why don't I do it this way, and why do you come here to post a statement stating that I don't do it this way. (Squints)"

Ye Shi: "Are you going to come to our factory to move bricks when the internal testing starts? I'll make you the workshop director. (Funny)"

Lao Bai: "Hahahaha, let's do a public beta! I think the public beta should be fine."

Light: "(Applause)"

Teng Teng: “Great planning!”

Thunder Dharma King Professor Yang: "...Well, it's all theory, don't take it seriously, I just said it casually, cough cough. (Sweat Soybeans)"

Ye Aonai said: "You laughed, what you said is true. Keep pretending, I will see how long you can keep pretending. (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 method of attracting people who are willing to take the bait is a bit inefficient, the advantage is that it can screen out a large number of non-target groups.

What are non-target groups?

Professor Yang is a fish that has not been screened out, at least not the target group in the closed beta phase.

I think about how to cheat every day, and use game bugs and planning to battle wits and courage. Is it worthy of the game that others have worked so hard to make?

Can't you just move bricks for NPCs properly?

We all agreed not to delete the files and let you be T1 or T0!

"We have to find a way to open the B2 floor...there are so many small players waiting to come online and move bricks."

I don’t know how many culture chambers there are on the B2 floor.

However, there is still a problem here. There are less than 100 players now, and the elevator capacity is already a bit tight. What will happen when the number of players exceeds 1,000 and 10,000 in the future?

Is it over one million or even ten million?

Of course, Chu Guang felt that the designer of this shelter should consider these issues, such as the existence of exits on other floors that can reach the surface directly.

After all, there is no reason for such a large refuge facility to have only one exit to the outside world. And if the "technology for communicating with parallel worlds" was completed in this refuge, then the first generation of managers should have left it to him to produce this kind of training. cabin technology.

Once a large number of "players" can be delivered from the shelter to the surface, it will naturally be closed beta.

When it is possible to break away from the space limitations of the shelter itself and mass-produce "players" on the surface, the public beta will naturally come.

"Summer salt."

When she heard Chu Guang suddenly calling her name, the proprietress of the weapons store who was sitting in the corner memorizing books until she felt dizzy was stunned for a moment and looked up at him blankly.

"what?"

"Do you know how to contact the slave traders?"

When she heard the words "slave trader", the little girl's face turned pale. She held the book tightly with both hands and seemed to shrink.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"...?"

Although he knew that she was probably overthinking, where did her imagination go? Chu Guang was able to draw a tree diagram of the possibilities.

Tsk, annoying.

He hated guessing.

Seeing that Chu Guang didn't say anything, Xia Yan's face turned pale and red, then red and blue. The misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, and he spoke with trembling teeth.

"I, I, I, I, if I didn't do something well, tell me and I will definitely change it. Don't, don't, don't sell me... please."

"...What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you still have one leg? Why should I sell you?" Chu Guang rolled his eyes and urged, "I plan to buy some labor and ask if you are familiar with doing this." Anyone who is involved in business can tell me to hurry up."

This guy is really too idle.

Generally speaking, when you hear that a company is going to lay off employees, the ones who are most afraid are definitely the ones who often take advantage of the situation. If you don't fish, what are you afraid of?

Um?

Although I always felt that Chu Guang's answer was a bit problematic, he was not trying to sell himself out.

Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense shoulders 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 am someone who can afford a slave?"

"Tsk, you haven't sold it before?"

"Who do you think I am? I am, after all, a serious mercenary, not a predator." Xia Yan argued with a red face.

Chu Guang shrugged and made no comment.

Is there a big difference between mercenaries and raiders?

Even businessmen occasionally appear as predators, not to mention mercenaries who originally relied on guns to make a living? 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 was hoping to buy some labor back to help my people alleviate some of the burden."

Xia Yan glanced at him, tactically afraid, shrank his shoulders and said nothing.

Remember last time, this guy still used the word "residents" to refer to those dumb blue coats, but this time he actually started using the word "subjects".

Will you become a servant next time?

It's so terrible...

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

No, this is it in this life!
