An ideal of a reward racing player community
Based on the user research conducted in the first stage of the investigation, the problem statement is defined as follows: How might we make Genshin Impact reward racing organizers who love a character and want to prove his or her worth(who/user) address the problem of the fact organizing a racing activity is troublesome and costly (what/need) to achieve the goal of planning the racing and organizing players of the events more efficiently and easily (why/goal)?
Currently, events such as the reward race are published in the form of a post in some of the famous player communities. Therefore, players interested in this topic have no way to locate the exact content through normal search engines. However, in the current racings held by the player community, the organizers face the problem of using dispersed tools and large quantities of work. They have to use a lot of different software to complete the racing. Competitors also need to find information about racings, submit results and receive rewards through different platforms. Such a trivial process often requires a lot of manpower and patience.
I’ve noticed that there isn’t yet a dedicated platform for racing lovers, or players who are interested in this topic, especially on integrated player platforms where players avoid talking about the strength of their characters to avoid conflict. So there’s no gathering place for this type of player.
My solution, based on the current situation, is to build a community of players (based on a paid service) with the theme of reward racing. Racing lovers can realize the competition information view, racing post, preparation, organization and communication with other players on this platform. The platform features a “crowdfunding” function that transforms the original “sponsorship” of the player community into a “crowdfunding” function that brings together like-minded racing organizers, reducing the manpower and financial pressure of organizing a racing. There is no need for mannual information collection which will be done by the platform. At the same time, the participants and spectators of the racing can also find the organization on this platform: the participants can find and participate in the racing they are interested in more efficiently, and see the comparison between themselves and their competitors more directly; Viewers can also find a special channel to watch what they are interested in and join the discussion, and they may even turn to the contestants or organizers.
