When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 318 Knowing the mistake and still making it is an even greater crime!
The host quickly struck while the iron was hot: "If you were standing in the shoes of a friendly competitor, how would you adjust the balance?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in front of the stage looked towards the platform of Shengjing Group.

There was only an aisle away from the platform of Against the Heaven game, but the popularity on both sides was completely different.

The demo area for Astral World was barely full, while the queue for Shadow World lasted nearly two hours.

The players' choices are self-evident.

But some players also feel that the situations encountered in "Astral World" and "Shadow World" are not the same.

The "Starlight" value in "Astral World" is significantly higher, basically three times the "Natural Storm" value in "Shadow World".

Therefore, although both can heal the entire screen without CD, "Starlight" causes much greater damage to the game balance than "Natural Storm".

Until now, many players still feel that the "Protoss World" project team has no other way except to fix bugs and scrap "Starlight Allure".

The host's question effectively raised the doubts in their minds.

If it was the previous Lilith, she would be completely clueless at this moment and would not know how to answer at all.

But at this time she was already confident, because she had asked Gu Fan before and knew the standard answer.

Lilith cleared her throat slightly and said seriously: "It's very simple. If our Against the Heaven game encountered such a problem, it should be solved in three steps.

“The first step is to modify the game text description to make it consistent with the actual game mechanics.

“The second step is to seize the time to develop more powerful treatments for BD.

"The third step is to wait for the emergence of new healing BDs, which are accepted by players, and for some Starlight Milk to be transferred to other healing BDs, and then to adjust the Starlight Milk's value slowly and restrainedly.

"For example, cut 10% each time, or add a debuff to the Starlight Healer that reduces the amount of healing when it is continuously restored.

“The so-called game bugs, in the final analysis, are just ‘the design does not match the actual performance of the program’.

“But designs are also made by people, so why should designs be right and the actual performance of programs be wrong?
“Players’ liking is the only criterion.

“Therefore, for these bugs that players like, we cannot fix the mechanism. Because fixing the mechanism means that the gameplay is uprooted and there is no room for maneuver.

“It would be better to add some new rules or adjust the values. This way, we can maximize the players’ gaming experience and make balance adjustments at the same time. It’s the best of both worlds.”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was applause from the audience again.

There are also many players cheering from the bottom of their hearts.

"Yes, yes, yes! Ms. Li really hit the nail on the head!"

"Boss Li is really talented, totally different from those half-baked producers from other companies!"

"Yes, many players said before that this is a bug and must be fixed. It cannot be ignored. Fixing bugs is natural... Now, are you embarrassed by what President Li said? There is obviously a better way to deal with it, but you are not good enough and can't see it!"

Previously, players had a heated argument online over the issue of "Astral World" repairing the Starlight Milk. Those players who wanted to continue playing the Starlight Milk were chased by their opponents, saying "this is a bug", and they were very angry.

Now what Ms. Li said really expressed their thoughts.

I can tolerate you cutting the values, even cutting them by one third is fine, but you can’t just cut the mechanism!
The host couldn't help but applaud and praise: "Well said! President Li, that's great!" "Now I completely understand what you meant when you first said that you should put the player experience first."

Lilith showed a smug expression on her face and continued, “Not only that, I actually think that there are many other areas where our competitors can do better.

“For example, there is no need to restrict players’ access to equipment, and there is no need to deliberately increase the difficulty of the group.

“The game itself is just a numerical system. It doesn’t matter if all players have completed the Legendary difficulty raid. After all, the equipment produced by each CD is limited. Even if you play every week, it will take several months for all players to complete it.

"What's more, the difficulty of the raid can be further increased. After the legend, there will be nightmare difficulty, hell difficulty, and ultimate difficulty...

"Also, there is no need to have so many healers in a raid. What if two healers heal the whole raid? It is also fine to free up more healers to deal damage.

“The full-profession mode itself is a design that breaks the conventional norm, so in this mode, what designers should do is to continue to break more conventions, rather than using conventional thinking to restrict this mode again.

“I can only say that the competitors did not value the players’ gaming experience and fixed the bugs too roughly, which affected the ecology of the small groups. The small groups could not continue playing and quit the game, so the middle layer of the entire game collapsed, and it was not surprising that the game collapsed.”

The host was simply convinced: "Ms. Li said it very well!

"I suggest that every domestic producer should listen carefully to what President Li said and learn frame by frame! Always put the player's gaming experience first, this is the biggest secret to the success of Against the Heaven game!

"Okay, then let's watch another promotional video and everyone can take a short break. After the promotional video, the interview will continue!"

The trailer for Endless Fantasy Legend began to play on the big screen.

And off the stage, Lilith and Gu Fan also took a temporary break, each taking a sip of the mineral water at hand.

It can be seen that Lilith is eager to eat the potato chips and cola in the snack area below the stage, but she is being interviewed on the stage at the moment and can only suppress her impulse temporarily.

Gu Fan lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Boss Li, why are you saying this on stage?"

Obviously, this was not what Lilith really thought at all.

Lilith smiled slightly, with an expression that showed her plan was working.

“Isn’t this a very simple truth?
"You have an old saying, knowing the law and breaking it is a heavier crime!
"I am laying the groundwork for the future so that I can collect more negative emotions."

Gu Fan gave a thumbs up in silence: "Boss Li, that's a good idea!"

Sure enough, it's because of this!
Obviously, Lilith was not sincere in what she said. She was just parroting what Gu Fan had told her before.

But she chose to say it on this occasion so that all the players could hear it, actually just to create an illusion.

In this way, when the new version of "Shadow World" is launched, when "Endless Fantasy Tales" and subsequent new games are launched, players are suddenly abused, and these words will become the ultimate boomerang!
It could have been said that this was an unintentional act, and the players themselves might have excused Against Heaven.

But now, no more.

Players will surely ask angrily: You know everything, but you just don't do anything, right? So you did it on purpose!

This is what it means to break the law knowingly and commit an even more serious crime!
In this way, the players' anger will inevitably become more difficult to suppress, and Lilith will naturally gain more negative emotions.

Gu Fan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Okay, Ms. Li, you really have something..."
