Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?!

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG" Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game. As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

Chapter 269: Why Can't I Beat the Minor Monsters?

"Wait a second, something's not right here,"

"Why can't I beat monsters that are the same level as me?"

Instructor Ding scratched his head, puzzled.

In other MMORPGs, this situation would be completely nonsensical.

At the time, his game character was level 6, the Imps were level 6, and the hostile wild monsters were level 6 as well. Plus, the hostile wild monsters didn't even have any special "elite" markers above their heads.

Logically, it should have been a fair two-on-one fight, so there was no reason he couldn't win.

But the issue became apparent after taking a closer look at the monsters' health—it was more than double that of the players'! And the damage dealt by the monsters was significant, too; one critical hit usually took away more than a fifth of a player's health, making it impossible to withstand several hits before dying.

Unconvinced, Instructor Ding changed his approach, switched to a different type of wild monster.

And still, he couldn't beat them!
