Game balance problem
This article is not the theoretical article, just in the game balance problem caused by the various settings encountered in an internal test game, I hope to give the majority of planning.
Background: The game is the "Navigation Century" of the snail company. I am using a friend's closed internal test with an ordinary player's identity. It has nothing to do with the official planning of the snail. The views held by the article are a common Player's point of view. Because the time to get the account is relatively late, and before the game starts, the game change will be so huge, so early data cannot be accurately given. If you do not match the actual, please refer to it. There is also the time to join the game. It is joined for half a month after the start of the second server, and I just caught up with the pressure test stage of the second issue of the snail. August 20. Therefore, there is no record in what the game is just starting.
History of logging workers: Because I entered the game, I didn't join any trade union organization, and the work done was completed. Therefore, the game can only be engaged in collecting activities in accordance with the setting. I have chosen collection work is the simplest logging. About the logging, here is a brief explanation, according to estimates, each logging requires 5s, consumes 4 points, and gets a level 1 or level 2 log. When the energy is 4, it will exit the logging state, and the energy is about 1 point. (The above data is not officially announced, but it is only tested according to feeling). In addition to these basic data, it has also been tested in the initial city: the player entered the collection state in the beginning of the player, after 14 ~ 15 minutes collection, a total of 36 levels of logs, 30 two Level log. The player level rises from 1 to Level 7.
The log in the game cannot be used directly, but it must be used after synthesizing, each 3 original wood can be combined into 1 wood, after the same grade, there must be a corresponding level to synthesize wood, level 1 timber logging level to arrive Level 1 can, Level 2 wood should be 11, level 3 wood should be 21, and the remaining is pushed. Synthetic wood also consumes 5 points of energy. At the same time, the synthesis can also get the corresponding logging experience, different levels of experience, but all as the logging, the low level of experience is relatively low, and the experience of synthetic high-grade wood is relatively high.
Price: At that time, because the location of the position was not Athens, the player is not a lot, the wood collected in the first place is bought to NPC, and each level 1 original wooden sells 3 yuan, 1 wood sells 21 yuan, then I found it Selling to players in stalls, so the trees are basically not sold to NPC, and the specific price is unknown. When the pressure test is started, Level 1 timber price is 150, and the second-stage wood 300. This is the popular price of the time. If you quickly recover funds, you can sell 100, 250, if you are low, you will sell it immediately. 3, 4 grade wood, because it can't be collected, the price is unknown, then I know that the 3-level timber sells 1500, 4 grade wood 3000, 5 wood unknown (at that time, there are very few people, very few people It is necessary to use 5 grades, so it is generally not disclosed). The price of iron is slightly more expensive than timber, usually 120% of the price of wood.
Of course, if the market wants us to come in, I don't have to write this article.
In the early days of the game, just as I said above, it may be because I have just caught up the pressure test, so the new players are more, the price of low-grade timber begins to landslide, but the decline is not very big.
The first price fluctuation is approximately around August 1, and the game has been updated at that time, the original vessel is changed to determine the speed of the vessel according to the wind direction and the force. Although this can make the game more real feasible, but the programmer of snails is vegetarian, no matter how we adjust the direction of the vessel, you can't find an angle of the wind. So, from the boat from the vessel in the crawling at a distance of 2.0 ~ 3.0. This thing seems to have no effect on the logging workers, but the impact on the businessman is big, and the speed is slow means that there will be more replenishment, and more replenishment also account for the location of the goods, so the businessman is not I am willing to go out of the sea runner, and the merchants of a union at the night will gather "demonstration" in the suburbs of Athens. Of course, there is no impact on the collection of woodworking, but it is fatal as a golder businessman who is acquired wood, so the price of merchants is naturally pressed in the price of the goods. The price of the first-class wood is sold, the purchase price is 50 or can be able to complete the wood, the price of the second-level timber is about 150, the 3-level timber fell to 800, the four-stage timber prices fell to 1500 . It looks so that people are cool, but in order to raise money, I still throw my 3 4 wood at a low price. In the next few days, snails changed the style of wind, so that the boat ran reasonably, and the businessman has started to go out, but the price of the wood has not risen again. The second price fluctuation is about August 7th. At that time, the game was again updated. This update has not been explained in advance. So the snail has been turned over, the reason is very simple, the original wood The synthetic empirical value is lowered, and the adjustment amplitude is unprecedented. The synthetic experience of first-class timber is adjusted to more than 300, and the experience of secondary timber is adjusted to more than 1,000. The synthetic experience of the three-stage wood is adjusted to more than 2,000, more advanced The wood mite is not clear, but the amplitude will definitely be a lot. From the previous data, you can see what kind of impact on this synthetic experience will have the impact on the movement of workers in the future. In short, from then, the high-grade timber prices have soared, and the low level wood has a certain increase. Basically revert to 8.1 prices, and the price is still ongoing, then the price is how much I am not concerned, I started playing the same place (the experience value of the ground did not change), start playing the sea battle, lazy Take another wood. The price of the three-stage wood is between 1500 ~ 2000, and the 5th grade wood price is in 1W.
However, in the 13th, 14th, I started to have some tired of this game. I was very bored. I just did some boring things. I wanted to give up this game, but the snail officially released a large patch at the time. Package, and will increase the game on the 16th to the game, will increase the new map after the update, so it is junk time for me before 16, and what is not done.
The 16th update was a painful day for those who participated in the closed internal test. When I got a 150M update package, after the original game directory, I need to update 3,000 files when I entered the game. Depressed is that the update server cannot be connected, and the game update can be said to be a while in the forum. Because the update package does not work, all updated files have been updated to download once. And I finally grab the line in the afternoon, log in to the update server, next is a long update, I have been updated to 9 o'clock in the evening.
However, this long wait is worth it. The game has opened up a map of Africa and Asia. This makes people in the server are exciting. Everyone has begun to run in China, I am the same, open my boat, spend 5W The fee is finally reached in China, and I started back when I went shopping in China. On the way backward, I stayed in Cape Town, because there was a logging, and the level of logging is not low, at least 5 grades, the first idea is to hurry to empty the goods, bring small blue Come here to practice the logging level, and finally, this decision is wrong. The next day, when I spent a day, I practiced the logging from 36 to level 41 (just in the form of 5 wood), when I took the boat back to the Mediterranean sea, the high-level timber prices were like an avalanche, and they had a thousand feet. Because everyone knows to go to the European to log down, the amount of wood is at least 3 grade wood, so everyone goes, the high-level wood is no longer worth money, the price of wood is less than half of the original. This is caused by the market law. The price of level 5 is even more fell. In addition to the new map, in addition to the new map, the new collection area has also increased a lot of high-grade materials. Therefore, the first day of open, many unions began to impact high-level materials, hoping to be as early as possible. Level materials, less than the second day, 6 materials appear in the server, it seems that the trade unions still have a big role in these places, after all, the people are very powerful.
At about 20 August 20, there was an event of a shocked server, of course, this incident has nothing to do with the logging, but this is a shortcomings of snail planning, the origin is a very unused setting - fishing. In the past internal test, fishing can capture some fish and shells. In addition to the high-grade shells can sell some money, the fish caught in the fish is not used (can be sold, but only more than 100), so the 8.15 version is The fishing has been improved, that is, the fish takes the exchange to sell the experience value. Moreover, the high-level fish can get nearly a million experience, which means that if you catch a 9-level fish, you will immediately rise from 1 to 3 business. So, when everyone knows that after fishing, the entire server is boiling, everyone is in the sea fishing, and it has went to the place with high grade fish. So the entire server can only have a businessman with N 4 5 6-level merchants in one day. So when everyone knows this matter, the official of the snail is in a hurry, and the part of the fishing is closed, it is made up for your vulnerability.
In addition to the vulnerability of this brush, there is also a vulnerability of the brush boat, some can't use the system unusually restarted the vulnerability brush boat, brush the scene, brush money. Finally, the official emergency repair vulnerability is caused and returned.
There is also a prestige, the method is very excited, is the other party who kills each other. If the prestige of both parties is almost, the prestige after murder is the N times disappointed by the other party, so if everyone can PK can put each other. The prestige of two people is so fast, and one of my friends will let the prestige to brush to 100W at that time, I am the prestige of 2000.
Before the 8.28 snail is large, the server's high-grade wood still is at 8.16 level, but the low grade wood has a breakthrough, the original 200 level 1 material 500 can not receive, 2 Level materials have risen to 1000. At that time, it was really surprised, but with 8.28 comes, I said to my friend, "Materials temporarily do not accept first, after newcomers come, the price will naturally fall." But doing practical things, I am wrong, After the newcomers come, the number of people from the suburbs of Athens is generally 1 to 2,000 yuan higher than 8.28. It seems that I still be estimated. However, this has brought a consequence, after 8.28, the collected people have significantly reduced, and the money of newcomers is tens of thousands of money, enough for them, so many newcomers choose trade, or the flyer, truly workmanship There are still many people. The game is still continuing, but the subsequent improvement is all, many new people have chosen to quit after tried the navigation game, at least I will be 8.28, the newcomers who have helped, there are not a few remaining. I also have a lot of incidents in the sea game. At that time, playing the sea mainly practiced his programming, and started a few hanging outside when bored. At about 9.15, the server's update is taken up, and the price of the material is brought up. At that time, the sailing the success rate of each collection was reduced to the original half, and the low-level person went to collect high-level resources. So the price of the entire server was too much, Level 1 material 1500, 2 material 2500 , Level 3 materials 3500, all other prices have risen.
After 9.21 I participated in the full country's mathematical modeling competition, successfully analyzed the resource acquisition method of navigation, and developed an effective offline acquisition plug-in. This allows me to collect thousands of materials in 2 days, and I have made my bank deposit for the first time. However, after an update at the end of September, I was being drawn as a PK, so it was often killed, causing the last period to collect it. However, the funds that have accumulated earlier are very good.
Before 10.1 internal test, the price of materials has been steadily rising, but people who will then provide materials are less and less. The reason is to kill the emergence of garbage pirates of hang up workers, let a lively Satodian empty unreasonable. And some time the shortage of advanced materials has a shortage of it. One is the 5 iron that can be purchased at 1W, and it is difficult to collect to 10W. It is difficult to collect materials in the game, unless People like me, do you have a few numbers, or the powerful players of the computer have been opened (I heard a strong double CPU, 1G beta, the R9800 graphics card is 7 open, and I top Multiple 2 is opened), otherwise the material is basically difficult to collect. During the National Day, played a circle, come back to find a lot of players who play games, and there are fewer players who collect materials, and sell materials, basically there is no business.
On the first day of the beta, I wandered a circle in the new Shanghai server. I found that NPC products were at least n times more than the seal test. One was originally turned to the test 200 logged ax to the internal test of 600. The first-level weapon rose from 300 to 1200, and more exaggerated is the low-level labor suit, rising from the original 800 to 1W5. Small blue has risen from the original 1000 to 8500, the only decline is small red, fell from the original 500 to 250. Other high-level things don't know the price because there is no sea.
The price of wood and mine is similar to the first day and the original test. The primary wood 100 ~ 150, the level 2 of the wood and mine should be 300 ~ 400, which is slightly higher than the seal test. However, I heard that the experience value of logging and mining is doubled than the test, and there are many people collected, the price should be low, but practical things are still different, it is estimated that the resource consumption of the internal test server is also a test. N times. On the 5th, I went out to play and then look at the internal test server. I found that the price is slightly rising than the first day. It is estimated that many people have money after the money, no one is willing to provide materials. The changes in other things are also very large, such as casting and shipbuilding, original casting to be 3 iron 3 wood, internal measurement to 1 iron 1 wood, shipbuilding from the original 1 wood 2 iron, change to 3 wood 3 iron. In short, the internal test changes are much reasonable than the test test. This proves that snails have been mature after they have experienced testing, and I hope they can continue to operate games.
In addition to the above things, the most recent test appears, although this is the result of the navigation game, but because the current snail's PK system and pirate design are very unreasonable, it is more prone to success. And the combination of the pirate is difficult, and there is no solution to this in the internal test. Now I only hope that the snail can improve the design of the pirate when the snail is in public beta.
Even if the article ends here, even if the National Day is over, I will fade out the game, start my own navigation game, I hope I can go all the way.
