Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 483 End of Public Beta
It has to be said that Zhou Dongsheng is very satisfied with every aspect of the unboxing system of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
After trying out 100 boxes, I didn't see a single rare red prize, let alone a gold legendary one.
Zhou Dongsheng said that this realistic drop rate is just perfect. If rare items are everywhere and everyone has a golden legendary 98K, how can the value of rare accessories be reflected?
How can we make players ecstatic when they get scarce items? After all, the principle that things are valuable because they are scarce is universal in reality, and it is no exception in games.
"This unboxing system is so good, my old friend. I was worried that because I came here to experience it, you would manipulate me and give me some rare items. If that happened, I would definitely be very disappointed."
Zhou Dongsheng said with great satisfaction.
It’s not because he has masochistic tendencies, it’s just that he is the boss, the one who makes money, not the player who spends money (funny).
Brandon Green breathed a sigh of relief, then said seriously, "Of course. I believe that as a veteran Battle Royale player, the boss must have a sincere respect for the game and would not like to cheat..."
"Of course, I think players will like it too." Zhou Dongsheng patted Brandon Grinder on the shoulder and said with a look of relief.
The two grown men smiled at each other. What bad intentions could they have? They just wanted to make money from the players without doing anything.
"Okay, I'm very satisfied with the unboxing system. Next, I'll focus on preparing for the official launch of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. I'll arrange people to take care of the details, such as shooting promotional videos with celebrity spokespersons and advertising promotion..."
"You just need to focus on operating this game well. This crucial step depends on you." Zhou Dongsheng said solemnly.
Brandon Greene's face turned serious, and he said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, boss. We promise that we won't fall behind. After all, this game is the product of all our hard work. What do you think, brothers?"
"Yes, boss!"
All the programmers in the office responded in unison as if they were injected with chicken blood.
"Good! As long as we fight well in this battle, the New Year's bonuses and red envelopes will not disappoint everyone." Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand, and countless pancakes appeared out of thin air and were scattered to all employees.
Zhou Dongsheng has mastered this art of empty talk to perfection, to the point where he can do it at any time, to the point where even street lamps would be eager to make a move when seeing him.
"Long live the boss!" Accompanied by the cheers of a group of employees, Zhou Dongsheng left the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds gaming company contentedly.
…
That night, every player who entered the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" game would see the pop-up announcement for the first time.
“Thank you very much to all players for their strong support during the public beta stage . The public beta stage of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has come to a successful conclusion. The game server will be shut down after 12:00 tonight for the final update and adjustment. It will be officially launched in three days. Please stay tuned…”
Although it was just a simple message announcing the end of the public beta, it still caused quite a stir among the PUBG players. After all, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is very popular right now.
As we all know, the time when players are most passionate about a game is naturally when they just get into it and have a preliminary taste of the sweetness of the game. This stage is when players are most addicted.
Zhou Dongsheng remembered that during the summer vacation when he just got into League of Legends, he played in Summoner's Rift almost non-stop around the clock, playing day and night until he reached the maximum level 30.
And I also touched the threshold of the qualifying round. Looking back now, I can still vaguely remember the nervousness and anticipation when I first entered the qualifying round. It was like stepping into the supreme hall of a player.
During the public beta period, the vast majority of PUBG players have just tasted the tension and excitement of battle royale games, and the sweetness of their first taste of PUBG is still vivid in their minds.
Of course, there are also many players who have not yet tasted chicken, so the enthusiasm of these first batch of chicken players is unprecedentedly high, and they still have unlimited desire to explore the island map in the game.
At this stage, the game suddenly announced the end of the public beta and would not be officially launched until three days later. This undoubtedly dampened the enthusiasm of the first batch of chicken-eating players.
Not only did it not extinguish the enthusiasm, but it became even more intense. After all, I was having so much fun that I was itching to suddenly have a three-day holiday. I felt like ants were crawling all over my body.
This is the case for players, not to mention the anchors who have tasted the sweetness of traffic. The top anchors naturally don’t care, as they can still live broadcast League of Legends and other game content.
But for some small anchors who have managed to accumulate a little traffic by live-streaming the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", these three days are a bit difficult to endure.
After all, almost all the users of the live broadcast room come for this game. Even if they broadcast other games, these users may not like to watch them.
And on the Shark platform, in Wei Shen’s live broadcast room.
Looking at the announcement that popped up in the game, Wei Shen scratched his head in annoyance, "The spring season is about to start, it seems that I won't be able to eat chicken for a while."
As "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has created an unprecedented wave of popularity on the live streaming platform, the word "chicken eating" has gradually become popular among anchors and players.
"While the game is still going on, let's secretly have a few more games. After that, the host will go prepare for the Spring Season." Facing the mockery on the screen, Wei Shen said optimistically, and then entered the game on his own.
When he first came into contact with the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", Wei Shen simply thought that the game was interesting, and out of curiosity, he secretly played a few games in private.
I didn't expect that I would get addicted to it all of a sudden. I really couldn't stop playing it, as if I had found the passion for playing games again.
Especially since he had just suffered a severe setback in the League of Legends project, the overwhelming abuse in the live broadcast room never stopped. Even Wei Jiang, who had trained himself with public opinion and taken out the Bible of optimism, cried out that he couldn't bear it.
Although he is a professional player of League of Legends, the once unshakable professional bond seems to have shown a crack. At this moment, the little bitch "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" took advantage of the opportunity and swooped in.
Running under the sunset on this Jedi island, Wei Shen felt that he had regained the purest and most essential joy in the game that he had lost.
Here, he can temporarily forget about the defeat in the World Championship and the insults from the audience.
You just need to devote yourself to this battle royale game, enjoy the fun of intrigue with other players, and finally win the game!
Especially after he became familiar with the game for a few times, Wei Shen's gaming talent, which could not be hidden at all, began to play a role, helping him win his first chicken in this game.
That feeling of satisfaction and pleasure seemed to sweep away all the gloom that had been suppressed in his heart for some time, making Wei Shen fascinated by it.
This game is so damn fun!
