Writing exercise

The game named revived witch had been online for two months after July in 2021, and the developer didn’t design new type of game mode and new content in the new version,but the game updated the difficult system of personal weapon for each character , which means a lot of people will pay money for it. And the power of charaters was over the value at that time. Also, It made the players angry that the easier way that players got best of equipments by using money to buy them.Finally, the core players need to pay fifty thousand yuan for a limited charater. All of these showed that the developer had pressures of income and they hoped the player spent money, but the player didn’t pay for it without new content. I think they can add some new challenges and missions for the new weapons and when players get weapons ,they can use them to finish the missions , so they may have a target for the new weapons. What’s more, they can draw a lesson from ONMYOUJI. This game developed the system of soul after publishing two to three years. The paid players can buy the soul directly and the free players can get it through playing the game. But the properties of soul is random, so they are relatively equal for them. A good game operator knows about the needs of players.If players want to experience driving, operator will offer the car race. If players want to make characters more handsome, operator will offer cooler clothes. If the game have some bugs, operator will give reasons and rewards to reduce the unsatisfaction of players.

Edited:

The game named The Revived Witch had been online for two months after July in 2021, and the developer didn’t design a new type of game mode and new content in the new version. But the game updated the difficult system of personal weapons, which means a lot of people will/has to pay money for it. And the power of characters was over the appropriate/suitable level at that time. Also, It made the players angry that the way to get the best equipment was by simply spending money/the way to get the best equipment became easier as players can simply spend money. Finally, the core players need to pay fifty thousand yuan for a limited charater. All of these showed that the developer had pressures of income and they hoped the player spent money, but the players didn’t pay for it without new content/they failed to attract the players with new content. I think they can add some new challenges and missions for the new weapons and when players get weapons ,they can use them to finish the missions , so they may have a target for the new weapons. What’s more, they can draw a lesson from ONMYOUJI. This game developed the system of soul after being published for/being introduced for two to three years/after 2 to 3 years on the market. The paid players can buy the soul directly and the free players can get it through playing the game. But the properties of soul is random, so the game is still relatively fair for them. A good game operator knows about the needs of players. If players want to experience driving, operator will offer the car race. If players want to make characters more handsome, operator will offer cooler clothes. If the game have some bugs, operator will give reasons and rewards to reduce the dissatisfaction (n) of players.
