This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 256 - 174: Professional Version Renamed

The "Game Partner" mechanism introduced by "Don’t Go Home: Marbles Storm" has sparked widespread discussion online.

Players governing players?

This novel idea has shocked the entire gaming industry.

Everyone is turning their attention to the game "Don’t Leave After School", curious about the changes this operational method will bring.

Chen Ba is also very interested.

Integrating the "Game Partner" mechanism into the official version was indeed a bold attempt, and he wasn’t entirely confident about it.

However, based on the feedback from players after the official update, there have been significant changes and positive impacts.

First of all...

In previous games, especially online games, the planning and operations teams were relatively mysterious, and even if players wanted to complain, they didn’t know how to reach them.

For example, when playing "League of Legends", if people felt a new hero was too overpowered, and that the designer was completely incompetent at balancing, what would they say?

"League of Legends designer, look at the monster you’ve created, this is K’Sante, with 4700 HP..."

You see!

Even if they wanted to criticize the designer, they didn’t know who to target! Most players didn’t know or recognize the names of the designers.

But in "Don’t Leave After School", since they launched this so-called "Game Partner" mechanism, the target for complaints has become very clear.

"Damn you, Cherry Pie Filling, are you out of your mind? If you are, please go get it checked! I beg you to stop making trouble, okay?"

Before, having no one else to yell at, everyone would unleash their frustrations at Ba, filling his ears with flowery language, so much that Ba didn’t dare to show up in the community.

Who would criticize Ba now?

Ba has relinquished control, only providing server support and retaining veto power; all the good and bad deeds are done by the "Game Partners".

So just identify your zone’s game partner and call them out by name directly.

"Alright, alright!"

Chen Ba is extremely pleased with the fact that he is no longer the target of complaints, as the game partners have taken the bullet for him.

Exactly!

This point alone makes game partners very useful. As the saying goes, a red flower needs green leaves to complement it. Without these game partners taking the heat, how could his community reputation have improved so much?

Besides being professional scapegoats, the biggest change the game partner mechanism brings to the game lies in player welfare.

These game partners are basically ordinary players themselves, so they know exactly how to please other players.

Welfare is definitely maxed out.

Moreover, regarding the game environment, these game partners are more devoted than anyone else. They are eager to be in the game 24 hours a day, constantly watching the number of active players in their zone.

Are active player numbers dropping?

Then they need to reflect on whether they’re doing a good enough job and why other zones have no issues while their zone is losing players?

Oh no, Celestial Punishment is coming!

To avoid Celestial Punishment and for their own interests, the game partners in each zone perfectly demonstrate what it means to be more proactive when volunteering than when drawing a salary.

A particular shout-out to Zone Five!

Because Zone Five operates under a tripartite balance of power, after the official version update, three game partners jointly manage the operation of this zone.

How do three people divide tasks?

The answer is in shifts, with each person on duty eight hours a day, and if there are any issues, they can take leave and find someone else to cover for them, embodying the spirit of being more involved in playing games than working.

Lu found this amusing.

"Goodness, if I didn’t know they weren’t paid, I’d suspect we’d hired them as employees!"

Such devotion brings tears to the eyes!

Hiring professional game planners or operators might not be as dedicated as this group of game partners.

Of course!

In terms of professional knowledge, professional game planners and operators are certainly superior to ordinary players. There’s no comparison.

"So, while dedication is commendable, it doesn’t necessarily mean they can do their jobs well."

Chen Ba explained, "The rich second-generation player in Zone Four has grasped this depth of understanding."

The rich kid in Zone Four plays for a maximum of three hours a day, which seems extremely lazy compared to the dedicated game partners in other zones.

But he is generous with money, and Zone Four players universally recognize and commend him.

He’s quite sly too; after becoming what is called a game partner, he immediately hired a professional game operations planner as an assistant to handle affairs in his zone.

Professionalism, this is what it means!

No one has ever encountered such a situation before, where they play a game but end up spending money to hire planners and operators to help manage the game.

This game sold to him for 68 yuan, is definitely the best deal Chen Ba has ever made!

Forget 68 yuan!

Even if he had to subsidize 6,800 yuan, Chen Ba would be willing, as this player self-funded a game planner and operator for free for Tianba Studio to use.

Family and friends, so touching...

The inaugural person to volunteer for work, the most touching individual to Tianba, this wealthy second-generation player from Zone Four is truly deserving. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Hahaha!"

Yang Dong, carrying ingredients into the room, heard their conversation and smiled, "You have to admit, Ba’s move has saved us a lot of effort."

If it weren’t for the game partner mechanism, the studio would have to assign special personnel for the subsequent operation and maintenance of "Don’t Go Home: Marbles Storm".
