What was a dungeon?
A dungeon was actually a checkpoint in a standalone game.
However, that was in standalone games.
In other words, in standalone games, there was no such thing as a dungeon.
Because there was no need.
In standalone games, no one was connected to the internet, so you could play by yourself.
The earliest game to introduce dungeons into the game was World of Warcraft in his previous life.
However, dungeons in World of Warcraft didn't appear as soon as they were released. They only appeared in later versions. As for which version it was, Chen Yu had forgotten. But no matter which version it was, there were no dungeons in World of Warcraft now.
Since there were no dungeons, he would let Kyushu OL be the first player in this dungeon.
"Zou Tao, I have an idea for a dungeon. Remember it and immediately develop it."
"Dungeon, Boss Chen, what's a dungeon?"
Thinking of dungeons, Chen Yu was a little excited.
If this super creative game was played well, it was possible to beat World of Warcraft in the future.
For this reason, after Zou Tao asked, Chen Yu carefully explained, "You can think of a dungeon as a game checkpoint. It is a checkpoint that we players need to pass. For example, when doing a quest, we need to go to a certain place to kill a boss and obtain the equipment or materials that the boss drops."
"Boss Chen, we have such checkpoints in Kyushu."
"I know, but dungeons aren't ordinary checkpoints. Ordinary checkpoints are accessible to all players. For example, in our game, many players have to go to the Apocalyptic Land to kill the boss to complete the mission. However, some super companies occupy the place, and ordinary players clear the place as soon as they come. What should we do? "
"This …"
Obviously, Zou Tao also knew about this problem. After thinking for a while, he said, "We're considering changing the boss's spawn location to a random location."
"Although this is effective, there's still a situation of stealing the boss."
"That's unavoidable."
Zou Tao said, "But this is also one of the ways to play the game. Without competition, the game won't be as fun."
"I'm not asking you to change this mode. Of course, we have to maintain the competition, but the dungeon I'm talking about is a whole new space. In this space, you can enter this area with your teammates, but those who are not in your team and are not your teammates are not allowed to enter. "
"Eh …"
Hearing this, Zou Tao was stunned.
It was the first time that Zou Tao had heard Chen Yu's words.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he found that this instance dungeon's setting was very creative.
"Boss Chen, your idea is very good. This way, we can perfectly solve the problems of clearing the market and monopolizing the equipment."
Zou Tao said with admiration.
Although Chen Yu did not specialize in games, in Zou Tao's eyes, there was only one person in Huanyu Technologies who understood games the best.
That was his boss, the man in front of him.
"I didn't propose dungeons to solve the problem of large companies monopolizing equipment and stealing bosses. Although he can also solve this problem, I proposed the setting of dungeons in order to enrich the gameplay of our Kyushu OL. "
At this point, Chen Yu changed the topic. "Zou Tao, have you noticed that the core of our domestic online games is PVP, while the core of foreign players is PVE? Why is Kyushu OL neglected in this aspect? Other than our R&D standards being slightly lower than Blizzard's, we are also not good enough in the PVE aspect. "
PVP referred to players fighting against other players.
PVE refers to the environment in which players fight against each other. It doesn't refer to players fighting against monsters or checkpoints.
No matter how bad the domestic PVE was, as long as the PVP was good, the game would be considered a success.
For example, legendary battle pet warriors.
Legendaries were simply ridiculous when it came to PVE. Leveling up was boring, and killing monsters was a waste of time.
However, when a Legend like Shabak came out, he was instantly enraged.
It was also because of the success of the Legend of Mir PVP that he had influenced a series of online game companies in China.
At this point, a series of game companies had focused on PVP.
It didn't matter if the PVE was bad, as long as the PVP between players was settled.
However.
For an outstanding game, not only did he need PVP, he also needed an even better PVE.
For example, why did the Infernal Domain succeed?
Other than being more hot-blooded in fighting, he had also put in a lot of effort in PVE.
This allowed players to fight against monsters and clear checkpoints in a variety of interesting ways to play the game.
At this time, when Chen Yu brought it up again, Zou Tao fell into deep thought.
"On the surface, the dungeon is a separate area. Other than his teammates, no one else can enter. However, in this separate area, we can open up a series of PVE gameplay. For example, the cooperation between the entire team. This cooperation includes the cooperation of the game's mechanics, the cooperation of the game's classes, the cooperation of the equipment … and even the cooperation of the use of potions.
"At the same time, we can also divide the dungeon into several levels. For example, Easy Mode. This mode is relatively simple, and ordinary players can pass it. However, we can increase the difficulty and enter Normal Mode. This mode requires a certain amount of mechanics to pass. However, Normal Mode is not enough. We can also add Hard Mode, Hell Mode, Nightmare Mode … The more difficult the mode, the higher the experience and equipment obtained.
"Moreover, we can also record the time to pass and enter it into the leaderboard."
Chen Yu said from time to time.
At this time, Zou Tao was completely stunned by Chen Yu.
Previously, he already felt that the dungeon gameplay was very promising.
However, he didn't expect that when Chen Yu revealed a little, he realized that as long as the dungeon was done well, they wouldn't be afraid of World of Warcraft. As long as this dungeon was done well, their reputation could beat World of Warcraft.
"Boss Chen, Boss Chen, can you repeat it? I didn't hear some parts clearly."
It wasn't that Zou Tao didn't hear it clearly, but he was afraid of missing something.
Such a super creative idea was simply reinventing online games.
He believed that with such creativity, he could completely change the entire structure of online games.
Therefore, even if he already understood what Chen Yu said, he was still afraid of missing something.
"Yes, I'll repeat it again."
The dungeon wasn't just a game idea.
It was also related to the war between Kyushu OL and World of Warcraft.
Before this, many elite players had always thought that World of Warcraft was better than Kyushu OL.
However, to be honest, World of Warcraft was only better than World of Warcraft.
However, if Kyushu OL could be creative and throw out this dungeon and perfect the dungeon gameplay to the extreme …
Then, the so-called World of Warcraft would be just that.
"Boss Chen, I understand. However, I have a few questions."
Zou Tao kept writing in his notebook and then asked.
"Go ahead."
"First question, can the dungeon only be entered in a team?"
"Not necessarily. There can be many modes, such as Solo Mode, Team Mode, Army Mode … or even an unrestricted mode."
"Is there a limit to the number of players?"
"No."
"Can you tell me more about the difficulty of the levels?"
"The difficulty of the levels is firstly to increase the gameplay, and secondly, it is also to encourage players to clear the dungeon. The harder the level, the lower the passing rate. It's normal even if a team can't pass the dungeon. Of course, you can use your imagination to decide what the specific setting is. I prefer the setting where a team of a few hundred players is wiped out by the boss. "
"A team of a few hundred players wiped out, damn …"
Zou Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
His boss really had a bad sense of humor.
However, thinking about it, wouldn't it be interesting if a team of a few hundred players was wiped out by the boss?
The corner of Zou Tao's mouth curled up. He decided to satisfy his boss's bad sense of humor.
