Chapter 518: Must a ranking competition be a good mode?

Translator: 549690339

After the new year, Chen Mo’s update speed for Overwatch had slowed down significantly. Even though new heroes and new maps were still being released, some players were already unhappy that it didn’t start playing ranked matches.

Although there were other modes for players to choose from, and the number of active players and various statistics of the Overwatch was steadily rising, the lack of a ranking competition was still a big regret.

In this case, the sudden appearance of gunfire would definitely poach a group of core players who were passionate about the competitive mode from Overwatch. For Emperor dynasty entertainment, this was the best time to start.

In the overwhelming publicity, gunfire instantly attracted a large number of players ‘attention, and its momentum even overshadowed Switch and super Mali Odyssey.

It wasn’t that handheld games and the Odyssey series weren’t good. On one hand, it was because of the market environment, and VR games were more likely to attract the attention of players. On the other hand, Emperor dynasty entertainment was very willing to spend money to promote the game. After spending a lot of money, it was very easy to create the illusion that the game was very popular.

And on the official promotional page of gunfire, a line of advertising caused quite a stir.

“An FPS game that can release skills. The ranking mode is fully open, waiting for you to reach the top of the gods!”

Obviously, this sentence was blatantly hinting that I’m a game similar to Overwatch, but I have a ranking mode!

Obviously, this kind of promotion would inevitably get a lot of scolding from the Overwatch players, but if they were afraid of being scolded, then Emperor dynasty entertainment wouldn’t be Emperor dynasty entertainment.

This kind of scolding wouldn’t affect the attitude of the players and bystanders of Emperor dynasty entertainment towards the game. It would only make the loyal players of Overwatch feel disgusted.

The two games were already in a life-and-death competition, so what was the big deal with a few scoldings?

This advertisement had indeed played a very good role in publicity. Some of the great gods who had been waiting for the ranking competition mode for a long time had their thoughts activated. They wanted to go to gunfire to beat some noobs and rush to the sky Ladder. At that time, they could also show off and do something.

On the official forum of Overwatch, a large number of questioning posts appeared.

......

“Why isn’t Chen Mo in ranked mode? Did you really forget about the Overwatch because you’ve been busy with the handheld game and the new game?”

“I don’t get it. Overwatch just updated a new hero and a new map. They obviously have the manpower, but why is the ranking competition so low in priority?”

“Yeah, a lot of people went to play gunfire because of the ranking tournament. Chen Mo shouldn’t be so slow to notice!”

“Look at League of Legends next door. They’re having all kinds of competitions. When will Overwatch do the same?”

Some of the Overwatch players were disappointed. To them, Chen Mo’s mistake was a low-level mistake. The problem could have been solved if the ranking competition was released earlier, why did it drag on until now?

Chen Zhao remained silent and did not respond to these suggestions.

……

Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s headquarters.

Jin jieguang came to Lin chaoxu’s office with a set of data in his hand.

“President Lin, this is the data for the release of gunfire. Please take a look.”

Lin chaoxu took it and read it carefully a few times before nodding his head in satisfaction.””Hmm, not bad. You’ve maintained it well too. It’s much better than ancient catastrophe.”

“And, chief Lin, there are a few statistics that you should pay special attention to. Compared to Overwatch, gunfire Wars has a clear advantage in the amount of time the core players are online and the satisfaction level of the core players. Obviously, this is all thanks to the ranking competition mode. ”

Lin chaoxu nodded.”That’s right. It’s just as we predicted.”

This time, with the release of gunfire, Jin jieguang and many other people in the gunfire project were all on tenterhooks, afraid that a tragedy like ancient catastrophe would happen.

“Ancient catastrophe” had a good start at the beginning, but in the early stages, there was a sudden massive decline in data, and it couldn’t be saved no matter how hard they tried. Lin chaoxu and Jin jieguang were very afraid that “history of gunfire” would repeat its mistakes.

However, up until now, gunfire had been developing very well. Although it was still far from the standard of Overwatch, Lin chaoxu firmly believed that at least this game wouldn’t die as quickly as ancient catastrophe!

……

In the classroom of world No. 1 University.

This time, there were even more students attending Chen Mo’s class, even more than the first class. Many of them were already standing in the corridor, just to catch a glimpse of him.

After the unprecedented success of Switch and Odyssey, many people’s views had been completely reversed.

Those who doubted Chen Mo were convinced. Chen Mo said he was going to make a handphone, and not only did he make it, but it was also selling so well. It simply subverted their common sense.

Indeed, listening to Chen Mo’s lecture gave one the feeling of witnessing history. Chen Mo had only made a simple prediction about mobile phones, and it was actually going to become a reality!

Today’s lesson went smoothly as usual.

During the break, a few students gathered around and asked questions.

“Mr. Chen Mo, can you buy a new Switch? I want to buy it. ”

“Does Switch have any new game development plans? It’s not like Thunderbolt gaming platform’s games, which you personally developed!”

“Mr. Chen Mo, which team do you think is the strongest in League of Legends? Is it the NRG?”

Chen Mo also had time to chat with everyone and answer their questions,

At this moment, a student asked,”Mr. Chen Mo, Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s gunfire copied Overwatch and even started a ranked match. It seems like the response is quite good. Why didn’t Overwatch start a ranked match?”

Chen Zhao didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he asked,””Is a ranked match a good game mode?”

The students in the front row were stunned.

Wasn’t that nonsense? The ranking competition mode would definitely be a good mode!

From Warcraft to League of Legends, you’ve proven it yourself!

There were too many advantages to the ranking competition. It could create long-term goals for the players, it could differentiate the level of the players, and at the same time, it could provide the ground for future professional competitions.

Without the ranked mode, League of Legends would have a hard time developing into a professional competitive game.

With so many advantages, why would Chen Zhao ask this question?

Chen Mo laughed,”there’s nothing that’s absolutely good in this world, and there’s nothing that’s absolutely good in games.” The games that have released the ranking mode are all developing well. This gives everyone the illusion that the ranking mode is a way of playing without any side effects. ”

“But it’s not like that.”
