"Then we cancel the public notice system?"

Through Lin You's explanation, Shen Ping and Yu Wenwen finally understood: the atmosphere of the game they were responsible for was so harmonious that it caused them to misjudge the relationship between players in the game.

"It's not necessary to cancel it completely."

Lin You thought for a while and then said: "The announcement can still be made, but we will announce it after it is issued. If a player is really exposed to have serious bad behavior, we can cancel it or even further punish it."

"What do you mean by bad behavior here?" Shen Ping asked.

"Cheating for money, cheating for sex, etc. are directly related to reality." Lin You did not give any more examples, but these two words can basically be understood by everyone.

After thinking about it, Lin You added: "Also, if there are any intentions and behaviors to molest other players in the game, it will be considered."

This time, Qin Songyun and Fan Rui were also thoughtful.

Especially Fan Rui, after all, in Night City, players are allowed to wear only underwear on the streets.

There really needs to be a shameless person who wears a perverted outfit of coat and underwear. After opening the online connection, he goes to the streets to find players of the opposite sex. When he finds players of the opposite sex, he pulls open his coat——

"Let me show you something nice - blue and white striped panties!"

Thinking of that scene, Fan Rui couldn't help but cover his face silently, which attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room.

"What's going on?" Lin You couldn't help but be curious, "What are you thinking of?"

"No, it's nothing." Fan Rui rubbed his face hard to get rid of all the strange thoughts in his mind.

"Boss, keep talking."

But Lin You still looked curious: "No, actually I have nothing to say, how about you tell me?"

"Ah, there's really no need for that. I just think your tips, boss, make sense." Fan Rui began to change the topic.

"Then, the selection of honorary players will be based on the plan we have set?"

"Well, there is no problem with the plan, but the proportion needs to be adjusted. Both "Assassin's League" and "John Wick" have lowered the combat-related aspects and paid more attention to some non-combat players, especially to expand the gameplay, such as Those who climb stairs, parkour, and race bikes, don’t ignore the existence of these players.”

"What honorary players value more is not the level of game technology, but the players' loyalty and love for the game, as well as the time and effort they put into the game."

"I understand." Qin Songyun and Fan Rui took notes one after another.

Lin You was about to say something more, but Xiao Meng's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Master, the popularity of a player's topic has exceeded the warning line we set!"

Lin You's originally relaxed mood immediately became a little nervous.

"Then let's do this first. Select the quotas for November first and see how the players respond. If there are any inappropriate places, we will make adjustments later. Anyway, this kind of long-term work requires constant adjustments during implementation. It is inevitable."

After that, they sent a few people to draw up the list - Friday was November 1st, and the list needed to be announced. They only had two days left to screen the players, and the time was quite tight.

Afterwards, Lin You quickly returned to the space carrier to find Xiao Meng: "Xiaomeng, what's going on?"

No wonder Lin You was nervous.

The warning line set by him and Xiaomeng is different from the simple list of hot search topics.

The Lingxi hot search topic list pays more attention to the concentrated popularity of fixed topics per unit time, which largely depends on the keywords of the topic.

And it must be a concentrated burst of popularity in a relatively short period of time, in order to surpass other topics and make it onto the topic list.

What pays more attention to is "real-time".

——If it is this kind of problem, Shen Ping's team will naturally notice it immediately and communicate with the relevant game team to respond.

Although the popularity warning lines set by Lin You and Xiao Meng also rely on keywords, they are not a single keyword.

Xiaomeng will combine all relevant keywords under the same topic for statistics.

This kind of statistics is not limited to Lingxi platform, Lingxi, pilipili, Whirlpool forum, live broadcast platform, and even search engine hot words, the breadth of which far exceeds Lingxi's hot search list.

Correspondingly, the warning line was set very high by them.

However, Lin You and Xiao Meng don't care about "real-time". All the topic discussions obtained by Xiao Meng can be accumulated.

In this case, if the popularity can still reach the standard, it means that the relevant topic is "universal" to a large extent.

Moreover, this warning line is still the standard "reporting sorrow but not good news".

Players cheered, looked forward to, praised, made jokes and other positive topics, no matter how high they were, they would not touch the warning line. They would only be picked up by Xiaomeng and brought out some interesting ones when Lin You was bored and fishing. Let him pass the time.

Only those topics where players are dissatisfied, petitioning, and expressing their demands will really hit the cordon.

Therefore, once the topic discussed by a player reaches the warning level, Lin You will take it very seriously.

"Show me what the topic is."

"It's a connection problem." Xiao Meng answered Lin You while showing screenshots of topics that were more popular or more representative.

"Why can "Assassin's League" be connected unconditionally, "Light Encounter" can be connected unconditionally, "Paradise" can be connected unconditionally, and even "Journey" can be connected casually, but the latest "John Wick" does not allow direct connection Online??? Is this reasonable?"

"The difficulty is so high and you don't let people play online. You have to beat the level by yourself. Is this to torture the players?"

"To be honest, I don't like gun battles at all. I just like racing with others. But I can't clear the level, and I'm not allowed to connect? How about this!"

"Let's analyze it from the perspective of an industry insider: why Yunmeng does not allow players to complete tasks online, and why they object to this design in real names."

"Lin You, you are so cruel! My girlfriend and I bought the game right away and made an appointment to go see Izumo's Cowherd Shop together. But she almost finished the game and I was still stuck like crazy! Help! Baby!"

…

"???" Lin You immediately took a step back: "Going to Cowherd's shop with your girlfriend? What's the idea? Are everyone having such a good time nowadays?"

"Oh, this." Xiao Meng took a look and told Lin You: "The person who posted the message is also a girl!"

"???" There were more question marks on Lin You's head: Two female players? According to their orientation, shouldn't they make an appointment to go find the young lady together?

He shook his head vigorously, feeling that this world was really strange.

Of course, Lin You also understood that if this post was not so outrageous, it would not have received such amazing attention and discussion, and it would not have been shown to Xiao Meng.

It’s not that there are too many weird people, but that the weirdest people and things are more likely to appear in front of everyone.

Of course, except for this topic which is very popular because it is too outrageous, several others are very representative.

Because the first one was posted early, even though it was just a simple expression of dissatisfaction, it received support from many people.

The second complaint is that the difficulty is too high. I am waiting for the dynamic difficulty adjustment after dying again and again. I feel a bit frustrated. I want to ask for help.

The third one doesn't like gun battles and wants to play other content.

In this topic, not all people want to race. Some people just want to form a group to cause destruction. Some people want to go shopping with friends and look around. There are all kinds of people.

The fourth article is a video with a lot of gold content. Based on the combat skills of "John Wick" and the personal experience of several battles, the author deduced the design difficulty of the combat level and explained the impact of the battle if you form a team.

How much damage can be done to the experience.

But in the end, this person still said: Not everyone is a hardcore player, and all players should not be allowed to experience such a battle.

Referring to the third post, you can find that many players don't care whether the combat experience is enjoyable or not, because the content they want to play is simply not a gun battle...

This made Lin You feel very confused.

He didn't just talk about the combat system of "John Wick". He really participated in it seriously and put in a lot of effort and effort.

Many levels really required testing and adjustment over and over again. Lin You patiently worked on it for several weeks before he and everyone were able to complete it.

Not to mention Fan Rui and ordinary employees of the "John Wick" development team, Lin You was not willing to give up the carefully designed combat levels, and was thrown into a group of players by the players, and they were beaten and run over!

Of course, since the feedback from players has exceeded the warning line, it also means that this problem must be changed.

Lin You thought about it, then——

The online invitation function will be opened first so that players can form a team to meet in Night City, but once they enter the online state, the main mission will be frozen directly.

Even if the team kills the enemy, as long as the teammate exits, the mission scene will directly go back to before the connection?

As for those players who are eager for a large number of players to connect randomly, Lin You would not be happy to open it directly.

Because in that case, many players will really stop doing the main quests. Wouldn’t that be a waste of everyone’s efforts?

"How about..." Lin You came up with an idea, "A limited number of large-scale online connections?"

For example, only open online in specific areas?

——This function is ready-made, whether it is a casino or a concert venue, this function is needed.

For another example, is it limited to two days on weekends every week, or a fixed time period every night to unlock the online system?

This can not only satisfy players who need to connect online, but also retain players' motivation to complete the main plot to the greatest extent.

"Xiao Meng thinks it's okay!" Xiao Meng cheered as always.

Lin You smiled happily and touched Xiaomeng's pink head: "Xiaomeng, I have to leave for a while to discuss it with Fan Rui and the others."

"Yeah, Xiaomeng understands."

Lin You simply got up and went to find Fan Rui.

Opening up online play is not a decision that can be made at once, and the game content involved is not limited to the main storyline.

It is still necessary to get together with the development team to discuss and consider all aspects before making the final decision.

At the same time, Lin You couldn't help but think: In terms of game design, he was not the talented designer that the media boasted about, and he didn't even have much experience.

Those games that basically copy the original world are smooth sailing, but when it comes to adapting self-made games, it often happens that they are great and reasonable in imagination, but they are "unacclimated" after they are implemented.

But virtual reality games are a brand new thing, whether it is the original world or the current world.

Both he and Yunmeng's game designers need to continue learning, accumulating experience, and groping forward.
