Chapter 357 The Beginning of Destruction

After leaving the group, not only did I not feel sad at all, but I felt much better.

Before, I watched these colleagues show off every day. Although I was determined enough in my heart, I was inevitably affected.

Now I don’t see it, I don’t feel annoyed, but I am happy.

Every day, I think about how to improve my League of Legends level and how to make the live broadcast more exciting.

It is already February, and the New Year holiday is getting closer.

The update of the League of Legends map version has finally stopped, and many important changes will be implemented in the terminal version.

At the same time, the actions of the Thunder Hero are getting bigger and bigger.

Today, the mount skin will be announced, tomorrow the hero skin will be announced, and the day after tomorrow will be the hero gift pack.

Except for the balance patch, everything will be released.

Seeing this, Mr. Ma is more certain that his route is correct.

The balance of "Raiden Hero" is very difficult to do!

Very difficult to do!

Does "League of Legends" have a balance problem? Yes, and it is quite serious.

But "Raiden Hero" is more serious, because there is more than one map, and there are currently five maps that can be played!

The map mechanism size is different, and the hero will show different characteristics.

There is also the existence of the shared experience value system, which is a magic weapon for a tacit five-man team!

But it is also the culprit that brings the level of experts to the same level as noobs.

These are not a problem in the early days when no one can play.

But as long as the understanding of the game deepens, these problems will be exposed.

Recently, he has observed many players complaining.

His operation is fantastic, but a novice drags him down and he loses everything. He can't carry it independently.

Teacher Ma glanced at the time.

Today is February 10th, and there are only five days left before the launch of the League of Legends PC game.

It is also today that Thunder Hero will start the last large-scale release.

Almost all players who have registered a Storm Entertainment account before can play this game.

It is also today that a large number of negative reviews of Thunder Hero emerged.

Open the live broadcast platform and click into Natashashasha's live broadcast room with a small account.

Natashashasha is a male anchor, but because of this female-style ID, she is respected by fans as Sister Na.

When he first entered the industry, because they were in the same guild, Mr. Ma played with him a lot and helped him attract traffic.

At this time in the live broadcast room.

"Turn on the E skill to avoid the damage of general attacks, W to charge and increase the damage of general attacks, AAAA, it's time to use displacement skills! Okay, Q behind, block the position and continue A at the same time, rescued? It's okay, we will catch up with R2 and take him away with one knife, no rush, A two knives refresh W to climb over the wall and leave."

In the map Black Heart Bay, a shadow hunter played a series of wonderful operations and escaped with low health.

He forced to kill one of the opponent's squishy skins and picked up the opponent's doubloon coins when he was one level behind.

However, the operation of one person did not reverse the decline of the battle.

In an important team battle that required paying doubloons and letting the Black Heart Captain fire, he was exchanged for five in a five-on-four situation, and lost the team battle shamefully.

The last wave of shells was fired, and the base turned into ashes.

Natashashasha operated the whole game, but still lost in the end.

"My teammates are too bad, they can't even win? Oh, I'm also wondering, how can my teammates win when they choose these weird heroes? They can't cooperate. Since the large-scale release of qualifications today, the game environment has been too bad."

[It's true that my teammates are too bad, so stupid]

[Today's game environment is too bad, how can we play with so many newbies at once]

[When will this matching mechanism be changed? I always encounter some weird things]

[This game is getting more and more boring]

Looking at the comments, Teacher Ma became more determined in his thoughts.

This shows the advantage of League of Legends, which can turn the tables by operation and show.

At this time, a paid eye-catching comment in the live broadcast room caught Teacher Ma's attention.

[Sister Na, when will you help Lao Ma?]

Natasha Shasha obviously noticed this comment, with a deep tone and a hint of ridicule, trying hard to hide her inner disdain.

"Lao Ma is now the top brother in the League of Legends area, why does he need me to lead him?"

As he said, he continued to choose the Fallen Knight and started the game.

After this was said, some viewers were a little unhappy.

[Old Ma took you with him a lot in the past, you don't appreciate it at all? ]

[White-eyed wolf, I misjudged you]

Faced with such viewers, Natasha Shasha also said bluntly: "What am I playing with him? I, a "Raiden Heroes" anchor, and a "League of Legends" anchor to play CSGO? You have to understand that Mr. Ma doesn't want to play with us anymore, okay?"

Although people with discerning eyes have long seen that he wants to transform, this is the first time he has said it so bluntly.

This caused an uproar.

[Haha, you idiot, I hope you don't beg for help after Mr. Ma becomes popular]

[We are all waiting for the end game of LOL. You don't think that the people watching the live broadcast during this period are all fans of your Raiden Heroes, right? ]

[If you don't understand, just ask, is this the little anchor who was so unpopular back then? 】

[If you have the guts, don't touch LOL in your life]

Looking at the rhythm of the barrage, Natashashasha raised the left corner of her mouth, then shook her head, turned off the camera leisurely and lit a cigarette.

She didn't say a word.

Although he didn't say a word, his expression has already revealed what he was thinking.

He turned off the camera while smoking just to cover up, to cover up his unconcealed mocking expression.

At this time, the game that had been waiting in line for five minutes entered again.

It was another weird lineup.

Seeing this scene, Teacher Ma shook his head slightly and didn't want to watch it anymore.

Maybe, the large-scale activation qualifications released today will be the beginning of the decline of the game of Thunder Heroes.

A large number of new players will completely expose the shortcomings of the game.

This is the beginning of the destruction of the reputation of Thunder Heroes.

The next day, which was the first four days before the New Year holiday, was also the first four days before the start of the League of Legends test.

Liu Hu has been very proud recently, and he walks with the wind.

The performance of Thunder Heroes is several times better than the most optimistic estimate before.

Although there are many negative reviews of the game as the number of players increases.

But what does it matter?

Is there any game without negative reviews?

Isn't there a brainless hater who doesn't like the game of Naughty Cat?

With this thought in mind, he walked into the company.

Although only half a month has passed, the size of the team has already expanded.

It can be seen that the company is optimistic about the project.

"Good morning, Director Liu."

"Brother Hu, the number of daily active players has reached 210,000."

"Director Liu, there are some problems."

Amidst the praises and greetings, there was a discordant voice.

Liu Hu looked over and recognized that this was an employee named Li Bo.

"What's wrong, tell me."

Li Bo walked up with a serious look on his face and said, "Director, it's like this. After the last large-scale release of the code yesterday, there were many criticisms among the player community, almost all-round denial of "Raiden Heroes."

Liu Hu nodded, not caring at all, and said, "I already know this, don't worry about it. This is because many peers are jealous of our achievements and are hiring water troops to blacken them without thinking."

Li Bo was stunned and said quickly, "It is almost impossible for water troops to blacken them without thinking. But there are also many real feedbacks from players, and there is indeed some truth. We Shouldn't we improve it as soon as possible? "

Before Liu Hu could speak, an employee who heard the conversation nearby flattered him: "Don't make trouble. Can you understand the game as well as Director Liu? The director said there is no problem, then there must be no problem. The director came from Naughty Cat!"

Hearing this, Liu Hu's expression did not show any joy, but said lightly: "Remember, I went to Naughty Cat because of my strength. I can't use my talents there, so I want to change jobs. Naughty Cat is not my end, but my starting point. "

As soon as these words came out, the flatterer's expression froze obviously, and then changed his face immediately.

"That's right, that's right. Lin Mo didn't know the strength of Director Liu, which made LOL have a strong enemy. "

Li Bo felt numb.

No, before the test of "Raiden Heroes", he was still complacent and proud of his identity as a former Naughty Cat employee.

It's only been a short time, and the winner of the two MOBA games has not been decided yet!

Is it too impatient to remove the label?

Isn't this a bit too impatient?

Does this mean that the game's current performance has proven itself?

Li Bo wanted to say something, but Liu Hu had already walked towards his office with his nose in the air.

He couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"Hey, at least focus on the balance of maps and heroes first."

He smiled bitterly and returned to his workstation.

Back in the office, Liu Hu had already thrown Li Bo's words out of his mind.

He leaned back in his chair, not wanting to work.

Looking at the spacious independent office, he couldn't help but sigh.

"This is what we call work! It's not like when we were in Naughty Cat, except for Lin Mo, no one had an office."

He was secretly happy.

The decision he made at the beginning was indeed right!

Now he not only leads a production team independently, but also becomes the production director, or chief designer.

This was something he didn't dare to think of when he was in Naughty Cat!

"As long as I am serious, the works I make are no worse than those so-called geniuses in Naughty Cat."

He glanced proudly at the resume on the table.

This is the resume of people who have worked in Naughty Cat and were selected by HR.

Looking at people who were in higher positions than me in the past, now they actually want to switch jobs and work for him.

I have received many phone calls and gifts these days.

A great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment filled my heart.

"Hey, Zhang Chengbo, you don't want to come yet, right? Fortunately you didn't come! Otherwise, I wouldn't have this position."

"Hey, how did I accidentally make a game that beat up my old employer? I'm so ashamed."

I YYed for a long time, fantasizing about the future of Raiden Heroes and the day when I won the annual best e-sports award.

Then, I started to work.

Evening.

It was almost time to get off work.

Liu Hu planned to leave early today, go home to pack up, and go home for the New Year.

In the era of electronic office, as long as you have a laptop, you can work anywhere.

Habitually opened the official forum and took a look at the player comments.

This time, his brows frowned.

"What's going on?"

The forum was full of smoke and miasma.

The environment is worse than ever.

Before, due to the efforts of the forum administrators, all the content that said the game was bad was deleted. Even if there were occasional slips, they would not last too long.

But now, so many posts exist at the same time, which can only mean one thing.

Something went wrong!

"Damn! It wasn't so troublesome in the morning?"

Liu Hu was shocked.

How could this happen in one day?

Although there were a lot of complaints in the morning, it was still acceptable. Why was it completely different in the evening?

Look at the content again.

[Damn, I really can't stand it. Where do so many newbies come from? No line, no team fights, no mechanism to play with hammer]

[Can this stupid matching mechanism be changed? Every time I line up to the small map, I will match two teammates of support heroes]

[Can the Protoss Assassin be weakened? Is the balance made by dogs? ]

[I played LOL and won several times with my girlfriend. I never won once with my girlfriend in this stupid game]

Some people criticized the matching mechanism, some criticized the game experience, and some criticized the hero strength. There were many opinions. Everyone had different opinions and their criticisms were also different.

But if we talk about it fundamentally, it was because the game qualifications were released on a large scale yesterday. Basically, anyone who wanted to play could enter the game unless they had just registered a new account.

In an instant, it caused a devastating blow to the game environment.

"Is it because old players can't rely on experience and skills to fight five, but will be seriously dragged down by new players in the game experience, causing word-of-mouth backlash?"

It's okay to ignore the bad reviews of that level in the morning, but it's not okay to ignore them now.

Thinking of this, Liu Hu immediately walked out of the office and saw the slacking duo who had taken his pentakill before, talking and laughing and preparing to leave work.

Seeing this, he walked forward with a stern face.

"Uh, Director Liu, what's up?"

Liu Hu said calmly: "Work overtime recently to optimize the matching mechanism. The time is tight and the task is heavy. If you can't finish it, don't go home during the New Year. Work is more important."

The two slacking off looked as pale as death.

That night, Thunder Heroes issued an announcement that it would optimize the matching mechanism to avoid matching new and old players together.

Three days before the New Year holiday.

More players entered Thunder Heroes, although the increase was obviously not as good as yesterday.

There were more negative reviews, and the problem of game balance was rampant.

Liu Hu was a little anxious.

The game balance team also welcomed overtime.

Two days before the New Year holiday.

The number of players is still growing, and the overall number of players has almost doubled tenfold compared to the first test.

However, the increase is still slowing down, which is obviously affected by the recent sudden negative reviews.

The day before the New Year holiday is also the day before the first test of League of Legends.

Liu Hu sat in the office with sweat all over his head.

At this time, the flight home had been refunded, and the entire production team was forced to stay and work overtime.

Dealing with various problems that suddenly broke out after the large-scale testing of the game began.

This year is not going to be a good year.

At this time, he was being questioned by the Baofeng Entertainment headquarters on the other side of the earth.

"I need an explanation from you. Different servers around the world have all had reputation problems. This is not a coincidence! What I want is the reason and the solution!"

The power of the game director varies in different game companies.

Some game directors are responsible for game content development, while others are responsible for wrangling with investors or the head office, asking for people, money, and resources, and mainly doing administrative work.

In Naughty Cat, whether it is the current Zhang Chengbo, or the previous Du Rui and Wang Yi, they are all Lin Mo's deputies in the development of game content, and they will report to Lin Mo, the boss, on any resources needed at the execution level.

In the current Thunder Hero production team, Director Liu Hu is in charge of game content development and is also responsible for administrative work.

Naturally, he is the first person responsible for project problems.

There was a problem with the game, and he was to blame.

At this moment, he finally felt the pressure on his shoulders for the first time, and he felt a little flustered and a little breathless.

How could the reputation of the game collapse for no apparent reason? !

What was the problem? ! (End of this chapter)
