The intriguing aspect of miHoYo’s move seems to be a subtle hint from a mastermind. The design of the three routes in the Abyss in “Genshin Impact” is truly a “sure bet!” It caters to both premium players and casual players, successfully regaining player retention and restoring reputation, truly achieving a “triple win!”
Hello, my name is Seventeen!
· The difficulty of the big world is surprisingly gentle
This time, the design of the three routes in the Abyss, particularly the幽战危境, is truly ingenious. The first three layers of difficulty are comparable to the big world’s difficulty. As long as you can form three teams, you can easily obtain 450 Genshin Impact resources. For casual players, it is truly a “benefit!”
The main reason is that before the difficulty level of the幽战危境 was 5, you could still team up with your friends to play. New players who can’t handle it can find a strong player to lead them, and they can fully enjoy the rewards. Even without character mastery, if your “big leg” is strong, new players can easily obtain a “artifact reset feather.” How else can it not be a “benefit”? If you don’t have a “big leg” player, you can look in the comments section, and you might find one!
Of course, for premium players, this also gives them a sense of presence. Looking at the high-difficulty副本designs in Genshin Impact over the past five years, the actual gaming experiences of premium players and casual players are not particularly different, which also leads to premium players not having much of a sense of presence. Even in the toughest Deep Sea Spiral before, the gap between casual and premium players was only about time, and the rewards were the same, and there was no ranking system.
Ultimately, in Genshin Impact, premium players don’t have much influence in the game, and even marketing accounts can manipulate them, saying they are “maliciously spending money.” However, after the three routes were updated, this issue was cleverly resolved. First, the first four levels can be played in co-op mode, so premium players can show off their strength more directly and easily. Second, after completing the difficulty level 6, you can also obtain an equipment cosmetic skin, a symbol of premium player identity, which was also released. The most crucial part is that there are two difficulty levels at 6, with a 360-second completion time obtaining the basic cosmetic skin, and a 180-second completion time obtaining the advanced cosmetic skin with effects.
This design is clear and straightforward, allowing all players to find their place. Casual players can fully obtain Genshin Impact resources; veteran players, light premium players, and technical players can also get an extra feather! As for the equipment cosmetic skin, it doesn’t have numerical boosts and doesn’t affect the gaming experience, so it is irrelevant to casual players; for premium players, it is a symbol of identity.
In this way, ultimately, it forms a situation where it ensures the basic gaming experience for casual players and maintains the base; at the same time, it also satisfies the emotional value of premium players, stimulating in-game consumption. The most crucial decisive move is that this strategy is difficult for marketing accounts to manipulate; it is fully defended from all angles, without any weak points.
During this period, the community atmosphere has been harmonious, and everyone is researching how zero-credit players can pass the difficulty level 5, and which low-starred characters have the potential to complete the difficulty level 6.
However, although miHoYo has already clearly defined the positioning, there will still be players who enjoy exploring and researching, trying various formations and strategies. By the way, the game’s developers have also cleverly designed the monster’s numerical values. Many people told me that they were just a little short of passing… and they still couldn’t pass even after several consecutive attempts.
This means that the developers have already finely quantified the relationship between character constellation values and monster health. The reason you are always a little short is not because of your fighting skills or artifact mastery; it is because of your low constellation values. This “a little short” continuously stimulates you, either by prolonging your time online or by stimulating you to consume, making you replenish the constellation values
