Design Meeting for Season-7 Battle Pass

Sales: Season-7 is on the Horizon, How is season-7 new map, Olympus, you've been working for 1.5 years ?

Design: It's beatifull, it's ready to go. It took a lot of sleepless nights.

QA      : We tested and we even invite pro streamer and content creator to pre-test it.

Sales: Wauww, you guys need to get HUGE bonus for this !

CEO: Agree, but how to get a lot of money from season-7 ?

Sales:

Challenging, we already short cut season-6 but rarely any people pay money to level up.

Most people max out very early, after that they don't play anymore so queing time getting longer.

CEO:

Make it HARDER then, force them to play EVERYDAY, and make it happen !

Your BONUS is ON THE LINE !

Design: That's easy boss, considered done.

Sales: Let's change to star system as well since other games do that way.

Design: No problem.

QA:    But people will not be happy about painfull grind and might not buy battle pass !

Sales :

No worries, based on stats, they always bought on 1st day 

By the time they realize it, it's already too late !

CEO : Perfect, Let's do it then !

Meeting end.

    Friday Meeting:

    CEO: Good morning guys, I had a good sleep last night. How about BP sales now ? 

    Sales: Still nightmare boss, sales doesn't improve !

    CEO: How is that possible ? We already give what they want.

    Sales: 

    People said American doesn't like math in school,

    but they actually know how to calculate. Check this out:

    CEO: Dang it, they're not that stupid after all.

    Sales : How to do then ?  Before we talking about bonus, now, we're talking about about getting broke and layoff. 

    CEO: Yeah, EA stock crash today, I feel the pain.

              

    Design: We can just reduce stars/level from 10 to 6 then it will be exact match.

    CEO: How, ? show me the math.

    Design: 5K/star * 6 star/level * 6 level = 180K .

    CEO: I think reduce from 10 to 7 will more make sense.

              Let me think over the weekend, will let you now.

    To be continue.

  • CFO: What is happening? Why our sales is plumetting to zero,

    we are not talking about bonus anymore, our job is on the line now.

                      

    CEO: Agree, let made challenges as easy as before.

    Design: Done boss, easy peasy.

    Marketing: We lost one week, no body playing right now, their BP is only 1-2, they won't make it to max level so they won't consider buying BP.

    CEO: What is your idea ?

    Marketing: How about give them free 10 level ?

    CEO: Great idea. Let wrap this meeting then.

    Marketing : Hold on, some people just like to play and have fun. They don't care about challenges.

    Also, most people can't play everyday. They only can play on the weekend.

    CEO: Should we put back +2 level and reduce star to 3,000 XP ?

    Marketing: I think so.

    Design: No big deal, we already know how to do it. Just need another green light.

    CEO: Hmmm....let me think again.

    To be continue..

  • Wife: Can you check why our kid keep crying everytime play Apex ??

    Kid: Why my 9 stars suddenly dissepear, I play so long & hard to get it !

    Dad(CEO): What ?? Let me start emergency meeting again !

    --------------------------------------------

    CEO : What is wrong with you guys, we should build trust but we keep loosing it !

    QA: We just follow last year, reset every week boss as per design.

    CEO: Yeah, but last year, we had logarithmic progress so no body cares.

               But this time is linear and painful. How can nobody think about it ?

    QA: We had firedrill everyday boss since BP fiasco started, no chance to breath.

    CEO: What to do then ? give them +11 BP now ?

    Dev: We can, but they won't play the games and next time they always demand free BP.

             How about just do double XP so they have to earn it back and keep playing ?

    CEO: Good idea but how to avoid it next time ?

              I hear we had warnings in the Apex forum but nobody notice ??

    Dev/QA : No body from Dev/QA read apex forum, we just read Reddit.

    CEO : Next time, you guys need to read Apex forum as well.

    Dev/QA: Ok boss.
