Chapter 857: Tigule and Flor
There is a reason why Flor spoke so fiercely.
During this period, soe was also complaining because he was poached by Mars Entertainment, but they had no choice but to go to the high places and the water flowed to the low places.
As a game developer, it is difficult to refuse the invitation from Mars Entertainment. If Jester's next game is added, it is almost impossible for a practitioner in the game development industry to refuse.
Because Jester is a legend in this industry.
Many of his legendary experiences, many of whom have emerged from his development team, have become famous producers now. Even if these people leave Mars Entertainment, they will be hired by many game companies with high salaries.
So, soe also understands the thoughts of the person who resigns.
Although they also said that their game was not good and they were unfamiliar with the behavior of poaching people from them, all they could do now is to make the game well. Only by correcting all the things that players dissatisfied in the game and making the game perfect can we see how he ended when Jester's "World of Warcraft" came out.
After all, blacksmith still requires one's own strength.
However, because they were poached by Mars Entertainment, they are now facing a shortage of manpower.
Fortunately, the technicians say that Mars Entertainment seems not very interested in technical personnel. What they are interested in is the designers of career and system content, which is also the core of the RPG game development team.
With fewer people like this, there is no way to develop rpg games.
So, soe was also trying to recruit suitable personnel during this period. Later, they found that in terms of understanding the game, the high-end game players in the game may have a deeper understanding of the game than the designers of these games. It is said that Mars Entertainment had precedents for recruiting personnel from experts who played their games and conducting subsequent design of the game.
So, they want to try it out, too.
So they contacted several players who were very famous in EQ and wanted to ask about their attitude.
Of course, many gamers are happy to work at the game company they like. For example, in the world where Jester is located, if Blizzard wants to recruit a few people from their players to work at Blizzard, I think there will definitely not be many people who can refuse.
Flor is such a person.
He is not a fan of Soe. He just likes RPG games. He thinks EQ is the kind of RPG games he has been looking for for many years. So, when Soe's people contacted him and asked if he was interested in Soe and was responsible for some content design work of EQ, Flor almost thought about it for a moment and agreed in his heart. Of course, he did not agree on the spot.
He just replied that he would think about it carefully.
Then he went to the forum to post that mocked Mars Entertainment and Jester's previous statement that EQ had many unsatisfactory aspects.
After all, he is the one who is about to work at Soe, so of course he has to express his attitude.
Just as he was about to open another post and talk about what he might go back to work in Soe next time, he suddenly saw a prompt in his forum text message, which was a private text message.
After hesitating for a moment, Flor clicked on the text message. He originally thought it was just a message sent to him by a fan who was bored, but when he saw it, he was surprised.
The other party left a phone number in the text message and explained his identity. He was a Mars Entertainment person. He wanted to talk to him about some things, which made Flor fall into a daze. When he searched for it, the phone number was really a phone call for Mars Entertainment. He was even more confused. He really couldn't understand why the other party was looking for him.
After hesitating for a while, Flor still called the phone.
When he told him his identity, the Mars Entertainment operator immediately said that he would wait and transfer the cable for himself. He waited for about thirty seconds, and a hoarse male voice with a little magnetic came over.
"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
The voice on the other end of the phone first expressed a little apology, and then continued with a smile: "I am Jester Lee, I'm glad to know you, Mr. Flor."
In fact, Flor is just the name in his game. His real name is Alex. When he heard the call him Flor and the voice on the other end of the phone said that he was Jester Lee, he was even more shocked because he really didn't expect that Mars Entertainment wanted to see him was the legendary person who could not be in the legend.
For a moment, he didn't reply.
"What? It's a surprise? Actually, I'm also an EQ player, so it should be a great honor to chat with an EQ star player... So can you give me a chance to come to Mars Entertainment to talk to me about the eq game?"
Then, Jester's voice rang again.
Before Flor could answer, the voice came over again: "Oh, by the way, I am very interested in meeting your good friend Tigule, too. I wonder if I have this honor?"
Flor was also a little at a loss when he heard Jester's humble words. In fact, his usual personality is not like this. His personality is very ostentatious. You can know his personality by actively posting on the forum to mock Mars Entertainment. In fact, because it may be involved in the relationship that Jester was originally his favorite designer, his wording was already very restrained.
If he followed his previous habits, at least five arousals in one sentence would be indispensable.
"I think……"
Flor wanted to say something, but suddenly he found that he didn't know what to say. After all, Jester Lee is his idol. "Exotic Soul-Super" is his favorite game, and he thinks the greatest PC game and the greatest RPG game.
"Say whatever you want. I really want to talk to you and your friends, talk about the game EQ, as a player, and even ask you what you would do if you were asked to design such a game, if possible, there are fewer talented designers in the design group of "World of Warcraft".
Jester's voice came again.
But Flor was even more excited when he heard Jester's words.
Qualified as a developer of "World of Warcraft"!
For him, an ordinary player who has an extremely passionate love for RPG games! He actually had the opportunity to participate in the production of a very ambitious game!
This is simply something you can't even think about!
"I will contact Tigule right away... In fact, we both have some opinions about Soe. Some of their settings are really annoying. We are preparing to report this to them..."
On the phone, Flor suddenly talked about some of his bad views on eq.
Jester was also listening quietly.
Actually quite simple.
According to domestic sayings, Flor and Tigule are loyal enthusiasts of the kind of faith warfare and warrior profession. They believe that MT should be used as warriors, and other professions, especially Paladins, are not worthy of being warriors at all. However, during this period, Soe's changes to the game were strengthening the Paladin's T's ability, which made Flor and Tigule extremely dissatisfied with the famous warriors T in the game.
So, they have a lot of opinions about soe.
Of course, Soe contacted Flor. Flor was of course happy because he felt that he could correct these mistakes by entering Soe.
Yes, strengthening the Paladin is a mistake that cannot be tolerated in his eyes.
After Jester finished talking to him, Jester smiled.
Of course, he knew what later players called Flor and Tigule, and their opinions on the profession of Paladin have been around for a long time. They have started since the DND game era. Even in EQ, they claimed that they would never choose Paladin, of course. In EQ, they were called Touch NK as their main profession.
Later, the two of them were sent to Blizzard to design Wow.
Tigule was one of the main designers of the first edition of Wow, responsible for level design, while Flor was initially responsible for designing equipment items and other designs. Later, he became the production director of Wow.
Just like Flor is just a game name, Tigule is actually the name in the game. The real name of this player who is also very legendary is Kaplan. Wow received two exclusive interviews with Time Magazine.
Tigule is a relatively elegant person, whether in doing things or saying things.
Of course. In addition to being a veteran player of RPG games, he is also a loyal fan of FPS games. Later, Blizzard was preparing to enter FPS games. He was the production director of Overwatch, which was compiled from the scraps of the "Titans" project.
He spoke very fiercely, and a few accomplices were common in one sentence. In Tigule's words, that guy was so arrogant every day that he thought he was the most attractive player in the world. In fact, when he was in EQ, Flor was indeed the best player in the world.
Of course, almost all talented designers have this problem because they think they are the creators of the game, and their ideas and their opinions are absolutely correct.
For example, the influence of Tigule and Flor on wow was the first one.
Especially Flor, when he was a player in EQ, he made a big fuss because soe improved the ability of Paladin's profession T, and even directly attacked Soe, saying that if you don't weaken Paladin, he will always boycott your game and call on others to boycott it together, and claimed that the ability of the warrior tank should be ten times that of Paladin, and Paladin only qualifies the warrior healing.
In the end, Soe had no choice but to modify Paladin's ability.
Of course, these things have not happened yet.
Soon, Flor took the initiative to go to the forum to edit the post he had posted. Although Jester did not ask him to do so, in fact, Jester didn't care much about the content of this post.
Because he knew what kind of game he was going to do.
He was not imagining the blind man touching an elephant out of thin air. He had a very great game in front of him as a reference. He had played this game for ten years and was very clear about it.
It can even be said that he has seen almost all the methods of touching RPG in the next ten years.
Whether it is good or bad.
all.
Therefore, it is not difficult for him to make a game that is completely explosive. He has much more capital investment than Soe, more technical support than Soe, and even more powerful than Soe. The prediction of the prospects of such games is enough to make Jester so confident.
Flor's move was soon discovered.
You know, Flor is a person who never thinks he is wrong. Even if he is not considering everything carefully, and is caught by someone who is imperfect. When he is caught, he will talk about the loophole and he will not take the initiative to admit his mistakes, let alone edit the content of the post himself.
Soon someone asked in a post that Flor had edited, what was going on.
As a result, Flor said for the first time that he was not very thorough in his previous statement, so he edited it out, which was even more shocking.
Soon, he contacted Tigule. They were from a trade union and had a good relationship. When Tigule heard that Jester wanted to talk to him about how to design M Touch RPG, he was even more surprised.
A legendary-level big~ Boss actually wants to discuss with ordinary gamers like him how to make a game? How is this possible!
If Tygull was in Jester's position, he would definitely not have done so.
However, such a change of place made him admire Jester's humility even more. So, after a few minutes after Flor told him about this, Tigule agreed without hesitation and immediately discussed with Flor to the time to go to the Mars Entertainment Headquarters.
Of course, all expenses for going to the Mars Entertainment Headquarters, including the car and horse fees, are responsible for accommodation fees.
Chapter completed!
