Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 279 This game is such a big pit! (plus more)

After a period of time, Lin Xiaoguang inexplicably found that he clicked on this game more and more frequently.

On the third day after the game was tested, the [Rebel Crusade] event officially started. There was a new event at 2 pm and 9 pm every day, which was to follow the legion to select a map and challenge the rebel troops.

As a legion ranked around No.5 in the entire regional server, Lin Xiaoguang's legion has a limited range of choices, because there are 8 small maps in the whole world, and the higher the level, the better the rebels will be refreshed.

But there seems to be a way to choose which place to fight.

If the levels of the maps are regarded as the No. 1 map, the No. 2 map ... the No. 8 map in order from high to low, then with the strength of their legion, it is most suitable to fight the No. 5 map, which is equivalent to the 1~ The No. 4 map was handed over to other legions, so that those stronger legions would not come to grab rewards from them, they only needed to deal with the weaker legions.

But this is just the most basic strategy. When this activity is really fought, you will find that it is not the same thing at all.

The rule of the rebel army is that the winner takes all. There are a lot of mobs and a small elite. The monsters drop props randomly, and the things they pick up are directly owned by the legion. After the event is over, the legion will auction it. The Legion Trial] is the same, the local tyrants pay, and the others share the money.

But this also means that the strategies that players can adopt are very diverse.

Lin Xiaoguang found that the officials of their legion were really busy.

In addition to constantly reminding members to participate in activities every day, they also have to formulate strategies and tactics for related activities, such as the [Rebel Crusade] event:
The first is to find players who are very stable online and already have the role of "Zero" to act as scouts.Because the rare character "Zero" has a special stealth ability, he can hide himself, detect the enemy's situation, and grasp the dynamics of other large armies.

This group of scouts was scattered to various maps to search for the location where the rebels refreshed, and to determine the movements of other large legions and report to the officials at any time.

Among them, the movements of the four legions that are stronger than their own are focused on. In principle, they will not fight with them, because the gains outweigh the losses.

After confirming the movement of other legions, the large troops began to dispatch to quickly clear the highest level of rebels that their legion could defeat. At the same time, a group of players were specially assigned. Stay at some key intersections on the map, or "scan the map" randomly to see if there are players from other legions who control the role of "Zero" stealthily preparing to steal chickens nearby.

There are also some situations where they will adopt a special style of play: quickly destroy the lower-level rebels on the seventh or eighth map, because these rebels are low-level, and the ones they want to fight are weaker ones The legion, so the speed will be faster. After the fight, quickly turn to the previous few pictures, find the weakest one and kill it in the middle. The goal is to grab the drop of the elite monster.

At this time, the battle will be very exciting. People from the two legions will collide head-on on the map, and the attacking players will change into characters suitable for team battles in advance, especially those local tyrants with a lot of money. Strong characters rush left and right in the crowd, and the whole scene is extremely chaotic.

The entire legion was screaming with excitement, this feeling of being overwhelmed really made people's blood boil.

Fighting and fighting, hatred appeared.

However, in this kind of game, hatred is generally temporary. Today A and B armies unite for hatred, but tomorrow they may shake hands and make peace and go to fight C army together.

After the hatred is established, the previous strategy will no longer work. It is often that the legion that has a grudge against us is going to fight the rebels, so we will fight that one too, and we have to hate you if the reward is no longer there!
Immediately afterwards, there were [Omnic Outbreak] and [Legion Battle]. The gameplay of these two activities is different, but they are all GVG activities. During their GVG activities, they started to become more and more serious.

Moreover, these gameplays themselves have a very clear guide for players and legions.

For the four major events, the better the rewards, the better, but the number of rewards is getting smaller and smaller.

[Legion Trial] is unlimited, and all legions can participate.

[Rebel Crusade] is one for each map, a total of 8, with different levels and rewards.

【Omnic Explosion】Only refresh 4~5 bosses in the whole server.

In [Legion Battle], there is only one super-large energy mine.

In other words, GVG activities are constantly narrowing the focus of players' competition, from more to less, gradually making players more and more intense.

And in this process, the various legions also began to merge continuously, but it was not an unlimited merger.

Each legion determines the upper limit of the number of people that can be recruited according to the level, so in the early stage, there must be a lot of small legions. Slowly fighting back and forth, the small legions can't get resources, and they start to be poached by the big legions.However, the large army cannot absorb players indefinitely, so the number of the army will change from a few hundred at the beginning to dozens to several over time.

In this process, hatred has been established, so the possibility of everyone forming a large army in the end is almost zero. Hatred drives different waves of people to fight each other, but there is also the possibility of cooperation, as long as no one army is allowed to dominate , the ecology of this game can be maintained for a long time without collapsing.

In this case, most core players need to play more heavily, and legion officials need to participate in activities very heavily.

Is severity a good thing?Look at it in two ways.

Many people are very repulsive to heavy games, the reason is very simple, tired.Take "Dawn Age" as an example. It was designed as an out-and-out serious game, because if an ordinary player wants to participate in all the activities in the game, he needs to go online about 7 times a day: 2 times Legion Trial, 2 Rebel Crusades, 2 Omnic Outbreaks at 12:2 noon, 3:6 pm, 9:10 pm, 7:[-] pm, [-]:[-] pm, and [-]:[-] pm. It also takes at least an hour for a legion battle at [-] o'clock in the evening once a day, as well as the daily basic game activities (swiping copies, drawing cards, strengthening, etc.) every day.

Calculated in this way, the game time of the players is at least about 3 hours a day, and it is scattered to different time periods, which is undoubtedly very serious.

Of course, for casual players, if they don't participate, it won't have much impact, just less rewards and dividends.But there are a lot of dividends in this game. In a regular event, even if there is no special drop, you can get dozens of star diamonds. If there is a special drop, you can get about 200.In other words, if you participate in all the activities, the basic income for the whole day is about 400 star diamonds, and if you are lucky, it will be more than 1000 star diamonds.

Converted into actual currency, that is about 40 yuan to 100 yuan per day.

It is conceivable that if you do not participate in these activities, you will inevitably be separated from other players.

This is a bad aspect of serious games, and it is also the reason why many bracelet games dare not make the game too serious, because they are afraid that the players will be tired.

However, there are more good aspects of heavy games.

First of all, hilarious.

A relatively relaxed and casual mobile game is often a deserted mobile game.Maybe there are tens of thousands of people, 10,000+ people in the same area server, but they just go online randomly every day to brush up the single-player dungeon, and it’s over. They don’t talk on the world channel, and they don’t interact with other players. Create a feeling of "no one plays this game" and "cool".

On the contrary, in a game like "Age of Dawn", a new player feels very good after entering.The officials of the legion are enthusiastic, and a large number of players are playing wildly in the wild. In addition to recruiting people, the World Channel also has scolding and chatting people. Just ask a question, and a large number of people will help you answer...

The meaning of online games is fully reflected in an instant, and the first impression given to players is different, "Our game is very popular", or so it means.

Secondly, it is conducive to cultivating player habits.

The player is actually a relatively lazy creature.If you don't think about playing a game for three days, there is a high probability that it will lie on your phone for a long time and be uninstalled one day in the future.This kind of laziness is common in the player community, and it is a black and white state.

That is to say, for many players, there are only two kinds of games in this world, one is the game that makes you crazy addicted, and the other is the game that you can play or not, and forget when you get busy. There is no middle option .

In this case, if two games are robbing the player's attention, then the heavy game will infinitely squeeze the living space of the other game, and firmly tie the player to himself.

Finally, it is more conducive to retaining core players.

Just like what Zhong Ming had planned before, players were classified according to the degree of liver krypton, and in the game "Dawn Era", both liver and krypton could get the maximum benefit.The only ones who are not so friendly are casual players who are light on the liver and light on krypton, but they can neither play a role in enlivening the game atmosphere, nor can they provide a lot of income, and they can only be wronged to sacrifice some.

But even for these players, even if they don’t participate in the event and don’t recharge money, they can actually continue to play, as long as they don’t blindly compare with other players, treat "Dawn Era" as a card game, and swipe copies every day. Playing alone, there is no problem at all.

And for those liver krypton players, the happiness brought by "Dawn Era" is by no means comparable to ordinary krypton gold mobile games.

Lin Xiaoguang played for a week, and unknowingly found that he had charged more than 2000 yuan into the game.

At first, on the third day, he bought a 98+30 double gift package and won the first deposit reward.This is the most cost-effective way of spending for every paying player. A monthly card plus a lifetime card, plus the only limited character for the first charge. For a rich person like Lin Xiaoguang, the more than 100 yuan is simply a drizzle.

Then on the fifth day, he really wanted the second rare follower dropped by the legion, and spent 800 yuan, which is 8000 star diamonds, to take it.Compared with the first one, it is 200 yuan cheaper, and this thing can actually be used until the later stage, which makes Lin Xiaoguang feel that it is very valuable, and it makes him feel good that people in the legion worship the boss one after another. After the consumption, the legion officials paid more attention to him, which also made him feel that he had a sense of presence in this legion for the first time.

The third time was the eve of the start of the legion battle, and there was an urgent need for a large number of players with "Natalie" in the legion.This is a rare character that can only be obtained by drawing cards. Her unique skill is to summon a powerful electromagnetic field, causing a double blow of electromagnetic field + lightning storm to enemies within the range. It can be said to be one of the strongest AOE characters in the game. , and is also the only strongest AOE character that early players can quickly obtain.

Although this character has very little effect when brushing dungeons, in large-scale team battles, as long as there are a large number of other players protecting her, giving her enough time to read notes and summon electromagnetic fields, her lethality can be described as terrifying .

In order to benefit the legion in the legion battle, under the instigation of the legion officials, Lin Xiaoguang took out Natasha without hesitation, spent more than 400 yuan, and then spent hundreds of dollars to smash her The highest combat power that can be upgraded at present.

In that legion battle, although Lin Xiaoguang's legion lost, Lin Xiaoguang won No.1 on the kill list with Natalie. The server was deeply impressed. After the legion battle, the top three big legions all sent Lin Xiaoguang poaching invitations, which made Lin Xiaoguang satisfied.

It wasn't until one night after Lin Xiaoguang played for a week that he suddenly regretted: it's over, he fell into the trap of Zhong Ming!
Before he knew it, he had spent four or five hours a day on the game "Era of Dawn", and had accumulated more than 2000 yuan into it, but he didn't know it at all.

What's even more frightening is that he seems to have formed a habit now, like having to drink a sip of water before going to bed every night, or going to the toilet before turning off the lights, and it has become a subconscious behavior.

Every day at 12 o'clock, I subconsciously turn on my wristband and go to the Legion Trial.

When he usually has nothing to do, he likes to go to the game to have a look, which completely fills up all his free time.

Lin Xiaoguang even joined the game group and met a lot of people, from all over the world. When it comes to the legion battle, the group will send a message to rule everyone to go online to play activities.Sometimes some local tyrants don't have time to go online by themselves, so they will hand over their accounts to trusted officials and ask them to help.It's not for rewards, it's just for the legion not to lose!
"Mr. Zhong is really awesome. He controls the player's psychology very well. I'm afraid this game is really going to explode..."

Lin Xiaoguang murmured to himself, he proved with his actual actions and vain money, how big a pit this game is!
