After having a big meal with Ma Yang, Pei Qian arranged the future development direction of Bunny Tail Live-Stream and found a good home for Hu Xianbin. That allowed Tengda Games to retain a good designer like Yu Fei. It could be said to be killing three birds with one stone.
After the meal, Ma Yang said that he was going back to digest the food and the work that Brother Qian had arranged for him.
It was obvious that Old Ma was still very concerned about this matter. However, Pei Qian was not worried because whether Ma Yang was concerned or not had nothing to do with the success of this matter.
Pei Qian, on the other hand, wandered around for a while. He was prepared to find a nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to have a cup of coffee, sit down, and digest his food.
Ever since Doubt
It had been nearly two months since the VR glasses hit the market.
At first, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was filled to the brim. Now, the popularity had finally died down a little.
After all, it had been two months. No matter how strong the addiction was, it was time for it to subside.
Quite a number of people had already bought VR goggles, so they didn't have to go to the internet cafe every day. Those who came to the internet cafe more frequently had basically cleared the game.
Therefore, the flow of people in the internet cafe gradually returned to normal, especially in some of the more remote branches. The coffee area often had empty seats.
But even so, the traffic in the VR experience area was not much different from that of an ordinary computer surfing area. It was still quite popular. God knows when it would completely cool down.
They could only blame Animal Island VR for being too playable …
Pei Qian sat down in the coffee area and sighed silently.
Forget it, since it's already like this, there's no need to be too conflicted.
After asking for a free cup of coffee, Pei Qian whipped out his cell phone. Indeed, Min Jingchao had sent him today's activity data.
Pei Qian placed his cell phone on the table. He brought his coffee cup to his lips with one hand and swiped the screen with the other.
"Hmm?"
Pei Qian's right hand had just brought the coffee cup to his lips when he put it down again.
Because he saw that the data sent today seemed to be a little off.
In the past two days, GOG's figures had decreased significantly. Today's figures were still decreasing, but the extent of the decrease seemed to be less obvious.
Pei Qian picked up the coffee cup once more and brought it to his mouth.
"Hmm … there are many reasonable explanations for such a large change in data."
"For example, gamers who are more sensitive to the stimulation of rewards would most likely go to play IOI at the beginning of the event. There would be more people participating on the first and second days. The number of new players participating in the event would definitely decrease gradually."
"For example, players who participated in the IOI event on the first day might be a little tired after playing for two days and want to return to GOG to take a look. That might also cause the decline in GOG's data to slow down."
"From the third to the sixth day of the holiday, gamers have the most time to play the game. They don't need to go out or visit friends and family. That's why many gamers who haven't played before have gone online or played with friends in GOG … Although there are still players being directed to IOI, the decline in the data has slowed down because there are more players online …"
"If it's IOI's data, the increase should be more obvious."
The coffee was a little hot. Pei Qian held the coffee cup and quickly thought of many possible explanations.
But then, he put down the coffee cup.
"Something's wrong. You can't think like that!"
"These explanations might make sense, but what if that's not the real reason? Haven't I been deceived by myself again? "
"I have to take this seriously. I have to presume that there's a problem with the event and conduct serious analysis and investigation!"
"It would be best if I'm worrying too much. However, if there's really a problem, I would know immediately!"
At that thought, Pei Qian immediately picked up the cell phone on the table and started scrolling through various game forums to check on the discussions of gamers, especially IOI gamers.
After all, he was actually on IOI's side.
It did not matter what happened to GOG. Everything would be fine as long as there was no problem with IOI!
"The matchmaking has indeed been much faster these two days, but … what happened to the many new players joining? My head is about to be smashed! "
"I can't play in the ranking competition at all. This ranking competition is completely based on looks and which big brother can kill faster … what's going on? It's not the end of the season. Why are there so many people training?"
"I have nothing to do. I'm a former IOI public beta gamer and a current GOG king gamer. I'll start my live-stream from zero until the end of the event. I'll go wherever I go. You're welcome to watch!"
"I feel like IOI's players have decent skills, but their awareness is not good. Their support is obviously half a beat behind. What's going on? It's not obvious if they're playing solo, but it's very easy to gain points if they have a good gay friend. "
Pei Qian could not help but tremble at that point.
Good lord, GOG's gamers did not seem to have good intentions!
Actually, that was completely predictable. After all, IOI required the game to be played for a long time. They could not run away after receiving the reward. Many GOG players were tired of playing matchmaking and would always consider playing the ranking competition to gain points.
In the end, there was a problem.
There might be subtle differences between GOG and IOI's game mechanisms, but IOI's complicated mechanisms, which were different from GOG's, had been simplified after many revisions. Many GOG players could quickly adapt to it.
What's more, many old GOG players had played IOI before. They had just given up halfway through.
So many GOG players with high levels had all plunged into IOI's ranking competition. They were competing with the original IOI players. How could it not be chaotic?
Many novice players had no choice at all. They could only see which side had more big shots. There would often be a fight between two immortals. Both sides would have one or two big brothers who had developed well. The others could only tremble and watch from the side. They were like ATMs. It was really not a gaming experience.
Many IOI players were looking forward to the emergence of a large number of new players and the idea of improving the game environment. However, that did not happen at all.
That was because this event did not attract new GOG players at all!
Although all players could participate in the event, only hardcore players who had been playing the game for a long time were willing to invest time and energy to pursue these rewards.
For many new and idle players, it was quite good to play two rounds of GOG with friends during the holidays. Happiness was the most important, and they could not be bothered at all.
That led to most of the people who came to IOI being GOG's core players.
It could not be said that there were absolutely no new players, but there were relatively fewer of them.
On the other hand, GOG's overall faster pace and more intense competitive atmosphere allowed GOG's players to have a sharper game sense and a more bloody game rhythm. They turned IOI's low-level fish pond upside down, causing many IOI's low-level players to start to doubt their lives.
Pei Qian felt very helpless. Who would have thought that GOG's players would be so strong?
Logically speaking, there should be an adaptation period when they changed to a new game, right? During the adaptation period, they should be around the same level as the original fishpond players in the game.
However, from the looks of it, that was not the case at all!
"Calm down, calm down.
"That shouldn't be too big of a problem. IOI's ranking mechanism is similar to GOG's after all. With such players wreaking havoc in the fish pond, their hidden points would definitely rise especially quickly. Soon, they would be matched with diamond or even higher enemies. The entire fish pond's environment would slowly recover."
Pei Qian comforted himself and continued reading.
"IOI is quite generous for this event. I think it's a little fake."
"It must be because they're organizing an event with GOG and feel bad not being generous, right? After all, they're giving so many rewards. If IOI doesn't say anything, wouldn't it be obvious? "
"However, no matter how I think about it, we're still lacking a reward! Isn't the reward for playing in GOG too rubbish? "
"Didn't they make up for it with other activities?"
"Long Yu Corporation is really scheming. Is Tengda really not going to sue them? They're doing their best to organize activities, give rewards, and guide players to your side. In the end, you're giving such rubbish rewards. Obviously, you don't want your own players to go over. "
"It's just business behavior. There's nothing to criticize. We can only blame Tengda for being too honest."
"That's not right. I think other activities are other activities, and joint activities are joint activities. How can these rewards be replaced? They should be given all of them! "
"I've found a good idea! Actually, everyone can do this: First, register a GOG account. After playing for a while, find the event page, and then associate it with your IOI main account. That way, the system will judge you as an old player who lost IOI to GOG. IOI's main account will be able to receive generous rewards! "
"Holy sh * t? That's true! You're a f * cking genius! "
Pei Qian was about to drink his coffee when he saw the post. He was about to drink it when he saw it.
There was such a f * cking operation?!
He quickly clicked on the post and studied it carefully.
Pei Qian understood after reading a few replies.
There was a very painful loophole in this rule!
Of course, when Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation wrote the detailed rules, they had also guarded against this special situation of 'eating both ends repeatedly'. How players would obtain the rewards depended on which game entrance they entered from.
For example, if one bound an IOI account to GOG, they would be treated as a GOG player. Regardless of whether the IOI account was a new or old account, they would be rewarded according to the rules of 'GOG to IOI'.
That was so that GOG's players would have enough reasons to stay after they switched to IOI.
It was the same for IOI to bind a GOG account. They would be rewarded according to the rules of 'IOI to GOG'. This reward was very low since Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation did not want IOI players to run around.
However, instead, they had created generous rewards in other activities to eliminate the feeling of imbalance that IOI players might have.
He had thought that there would be no problem with such rules, but he did not expect the players' attitude to be 'I want all of them'!
