Chapter 1001

Classification server!

People never thought that there would be the idea of classification server, but undoubtedly this is the best way to solve the problem of global interconnection. Of course, there are many problems.

For example, if dozens or even hundreds of cities launch attack applications to one city at the same time, then the demand for bandwidth and server is also terrible. What should we do if we really face this situation?

For this problem, Lin Feng has a long way to go.

"Guys, if global players launch attack applications at the same time, this is not a problem at all." Lin fengxiao said.

Everyone was stunned.

"It's very simple. There is no such thing as" portal "in World War II. Players who want to go to another city have to go through various means of transportation, and each means of transportation has its own transportation time. This time difference is enough to solve this problem." Lin Feng shrugged easily.

They clapped their heads and sighed that they were confused. Isn't it? World War is a simulated first person shooting game. It's not a Western Magic game. For example, like legend, there will be "transmission scrolls". If players want to move, they have to take transportation. Of course, they can also walk with their legs. But as long as it's not the instantaneous movement type, it will definitely need the halfway time.

In the world war, there are only a few cities near a city. It is impossible for hundreds of cities to be near, so there is a time difference in the transportation process. What's more, once a war is involved, the transportation of all kinds of large weapons will take more time.

"What if the players gather in advance? After assembling forces in one place, how about fighting again? " Minwu Lee said.

"Ha ha, this may indeed exist. If players do, we can't solve the hardware bottleneck technically. However, don't forget that there are no secrets in this world, especially in this virtual world. It is possible to mobilize troops secretly in a small area, but it is absolutely impossible to gather a large number of troops in a large area. " Lin Feng smiles.

This is a little helpless. In today's Internet age, it's really hard to have secrets, especially in games. This is more difficult! What's more, is the war based on the country? Once the country is involved, there will be a national complex. In today's era of globalization, all kinds of nationalities are living in a mixed state, so the secret is not easy to keep secret.

As long as there is one person who will post the news of the secret assembly of troops on the Internet, it will be known all over the world.

Minwu Li thinks about it, isn't it! This is also helpless shaking his head. No way, the Internet age is like this, in providing human convenience, but also to a certain extent deprived of human privacy.

"Lin, how to solve the problem of computer performance of players? You know, the better the player's computer performance, the more players "World War" can accommodate, the more wonderful the game will be! " Asked minwu Li.

Lin Feng smiles.

"Minwu, I just said that. I'll talk about it later." Lin Feng sold a pass.

Minwu Li is helpless.

"Boss, our department is developing Hero online, which will be available for public beta in mid-2005!"“ "The sixth game development department" minister Qiao said.

Lin Feng nodded. This will be an attempt of "second world" strategy online games. If the design is characteristic enough to be the same as its stand-alone version, it will set off the climax of online strategy games.

"Heroes online", what a game to look forward to. However, it depends on the design of "the sixth game development department".

Since then, game development department 7 and game development department 8 have reported on their respective progress, but not much exciting. Then, the ninth and tenth game development departments of Second World reported their work. This is also the first time that the two major game departments have participated in this meeting.

"Lin!" Mike mowami cleared his throat. Being the focus of attention makes Mike mowami proud and nervous.

After listening to a meeting just now, Mike mowami had a real understanding of the power of "the second world". Originally, he was quite confident about Blizzard, and thought that it would never be worse than any of the "second world" game departments. He even faintly felt that it would be better than the eight "second world" game departments. But now, he found that Blizzard also belongs to an upper middle game development department in "second world".

Think about "the fifth game development department" is about to test "World War", which has invested billions of dollars and cost more than three years. This hand, this progress, Blizzard and blizzard, even Mike mowami thinks that "the second world" is a little too cautious and too refined. This attitude is too Blizzard!

There is "infinite terror", the kind of craziness in the development process also makes Mike mowami feel inferior. This absolute contrast "blizzard" also "blizzard", this crazy degree can be called "blizzard".

After thinking about it, Mike mowami sighed.

"Lin, we Blizzard Entertainment, oh, no, the current focus of the ninth game development department is" StarCraft 2 "and..." Mike mowami was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Mike, when will StarCraft 2 come out?"“ Cui Ming, the director of the first game development department, asked subconsciously. As soon as he spoke, he knew that it was a bit impolite. He quickly got up and bowed to apologize.

There was a smile. It's not surprising that Cui Ming is impolite. He can only say that South Korea is too crazy about StarCraft. That's why he is so impolite after hearing about the plan of StarCraft 2.

"Everyone, at present, the focus of our department is StarCraft 2 and world of Warcraft." Michael mowami said slowly, "about StarCraft 2, research and development will begin after the launch of world of Warcraft. As for world of Warcraft, I want to hear Lin's opinions."

Mike mowami looks at Lin Feng. Originally, world of Warcraft was supposed to be tested in Korea before Christmas. As a result, under the command of Lin Feng's one sentence, it has been postponed until now. As for the time of public beta, it has not been decided. Mike mowumi needs an answer from Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiles.

"Mike, I think world of Warcraft should be tested in the most developed area of the global Internet market. Looking at the world, no region has more players than Chinese players, no region has more fanatical players than Chinese players, and no region can upgrade online games faster than Chinese players! So, there is no more suitable place for world of Warcraft's first public beta except China. " Lin Feng explained.

When they heard this, they all smile and say nothing.

Mike mowuami didn't know what people were laughing at, but Lin Feng's words were far fetched, but they were right. After thinking about it, he accepted Lin Feng's explanation.

People look at Mike - Mo Huaimi finally reluctantly accept Lin Feng's explanation, heart smile. Lin Feng's explanations are nonsense. In fact, Lin Feng is a little selfish, a little selfish for the welfare of Chinese players. However, the "second world" is in China, and the majority of Chinese people are inside the company. Lin Feng is also a Chinese, so many people know this selfishness.

Mike mowumi will get used to it in the future! You know, Lin Feng is a nationalist. Of course, he is not an extreme nationalist. It's just that, when possible, they will favor their own compatriots.

"Lin, we decided to test world of Warcraft at the end of this month, that is, January 18, 2004!" Mike mowami said.

But Lin Feng shook his head again.

Everyone was stunned《 World of Warcraft is a game launched by blizzard. With Blizzard's strength, it will not be bad. If we test earlier, we can make money earlier. I don't know why Lin Feng refused!

"Mike, you don't understand why I turned down the world of Warcraft beta, do you?" Lin Feng said.

Mike mowami nodded.

"It's very simple. Because I think world of Warcraft can be better! It can be better than it is now! " Lin Feng said.

Better《 Can world of Warcraft be better than it is now—— Said Mike mowami in surprise.

In his heart, "world of Warcraft" has been very perfect, Lin Feng has never carefully played "world of Warcraft" premise, actually said it can be better, this is too incredible!

But Mike mowami really wants to know what Lin Feng means better《 World of Warcraft can be better in any way!

Lin Feng fingers on the table, looking at the crowd, a face of enigmatic.

As a superior, sometimes it needs a little mystery, a little enigmatic, in order to let subordinates have a sense of awe. At this time, it's time to be deep.

After 1 minute and 15 seconds, Lin Feng slowly spits out his improvement plan for world of Warcraft.

"Mike, the first shortcoming in world of Warcraft is that long-range missiles are like automatic tracking missiles, and players can't dodge at all. Debate whether players are jumping, squatting, or running left and right, simply can not avoid the opponent's long-range attack. It's so unreal! In the previously developed "Diablo" by northern Blizzard studio, these long-range attacks can be dodged! " Lin Feng knocked heavily with his fingers.

Mike mowami was stunned. He has also considered this issue, but "Diablo" is a stand-alone game, which is relatively simple, while "world of Warcraft" is an online game, so the modification is too complicated. At the beginning, Blizzard Entertainment also held a meeting to discuss it, but after weighing the gains and losses, it decided not to modify it. The result did not expect, but was picked out by Lin Feng.

"As for the other point, I think about it. I think "world of Warcraft" should add a player release mission function. For example, when a player goes to an NPC to publish a task and wants to offer a reward to kill a player, or ask him to do a task or even need something (unbound), after applying to the NPC and paying the reward or item + task publishing fee, all players can accept the task. After completing the task, the player can go to the NPC to get the task reward and pay the handling fee. " Lin Feng said.

Mike mowumi took a cool breath. This idea is really interesting, very interesting《 World of Warcraft doesn't have such a function. It's really good to launch such a function. This is equivalent to a new occupation in the game - Bounty Hunter. And most importantly, it will make the game more fun.

Think about it. For example, if you want some equipment or props, but you can't get them yourself, you can complete them by releasing tasks. Of course, that's not what Mike mowami is interested in. The most interesting thing is that players can avenge those who have killed themselves by publishing missions. This is especially important for low-level players.

About 90% of the regions in world of Warcraft are neutral and PK places, and most low-level players or any player will always be killed by players who are higher than their own level, or with high operation level and good equipment. Generally speaking, sometimes it's hard to retaliate, or to say, it's hard to have time to hunt all over the world. Therefore, it is more appropriate to avenge by releasing a mission!

That way, the whole game world will be more exciting and attractive. Players can complete almost endless tasks. After all, the player may release all kinds of incredible missions, which is not possessed by the system mission theory.

"Lin, first, we need to think about it. But the second point is quite good. We will improve it immediately! " Mike mowami slapped the table. He has been deeply attracted by the idea of bellingfeng. If world of Warcraft adds the function of player releasing missions, the game will be more perfect.

It's not just world of Warcraft that has been inspired. Other game development departments have also been inspired by this. They have added player release tasks. This setting is not complicated in design, it just needs to be conceived. Unexpectedly, this idea was thought out by Lin Feng.

High! It's really high!

"Mike, on the first point, I also hope you can improve it. Blizzard's aim is not to keep improving, so is our company. If it can be more perfect, I don't mind spending more time! " Lin Fengshen repeated.

Mike mowami nodded. Since Lin Feng doesn't mind spending more time and money, he has nothing to mind.

"Lin, don't worry, I will make world of warcraft more perfect!" Said Mike mowami.

When Lin Feng smiles, it can't be better.

At this time, it's the turn of the tenth game development department, the former Northern Blizzard studio.

"Lin, the development progress of Diablo 3 is already on the agenda. After this vacation, the focus of our work is Diablo 3. However, I can't guarantee when it will be released for public beta. We can only promise that we will increase the speed as much as possible while ensuring the best quality!" Bill Roper said.

Lin Feng nodded. Blizzard North studio has always been like this. Naturally, I don't have to rush it.

Later, Lin Feng focused on the hardware development department. For a long time, the profit of "second world" depends on the game department. Now it's up to the hardware development department（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
