The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 933
Later generations of players call Warcraft 4 the watershed of Blizzard. The former is called the golden age of Blizzard, and the latter is called the golden age of Blizzard.Then he said with deep hatred that Blizzard has changed since Warcraft 4, and has become extremely expensive, and then lamented that the entire game world has become more and more valued on money. Without money, it is impossible to gain a complete game experience.

There are even players who directly set Warcraft 4 as the starting point for the change of the global game era, because the game Warcraft 4 is really profitable.

When the users started to download the game for free, they entered the city, and then the whole city was full of kittens and puppies, empty except for a simple thatched hut and a fence, there was nothing, shops and so on Also not open.

Then the only NPC in the city tells you that this is the spirit space opened up by the great titan, and the player is the last living titan. Then the player can come to the mortal world and experience various stories and experiences in the world of Azeroth.

Then it will take the player into the center of the city, and find a giant gate that looks very domineering and hundreds of meters high. After the player enters the gate, he can choose to play the game's battle plot, or go directly to cross-border Match battles are over.

I won’t talk about the plot of the game. Because of Boss Huang’s intervention, the script of the Warcraft project has always been the original one, and there has been no change of script writer. So starting from the first DLC of World of Warcraft, Titan Body, The entire historical plot of World of Warcraft is completely different from the previous life.

The plot of Warcraft 4 is based on how the hero of the human race, Jaina, gathered soldiers in the New World, then formed a human-beast alliance with Thrall, and then formed an alliance with the blood elves, and finally led the troops to counterattack the continent of Lordaeron. The power to cleanse the story of the Burning Legion.

To put it simply, it is a standard story of revenge, regaining the throne, and defeating opponents. Although it seems that the depth of the story is not as good as the story of Warcraft in another world, this story is more refreshing, especially in the end. Alsace, who had become the leader of the Burning Legion, was defeated, and after realizing what he had done, Alsace finally decided to die and push the entire Burning Legion away from the world of Azeroth. Even if the plot of 4 is over, it can be regarded as giving all three generations of players a good youthful memory.

Well, there is no need to worry about the plot issues in the later stage of Warcraft, because Boss Huang has already prepared a new story line that allows the two universes to collide. This will become the most grand poem in the history of online games, and we will talk about this later.

Anyway, the routine of the plot has not changed much. Like the three generations, each race has its own plot. Each plot can unlock a building and unit, and then rely on the plots of each race to develop a complete story line.

Of course, there are some easter egg battles and so on, so I won’t say much about them. Anyway, these battles are not to mention how exciting they are, but they are not much inferior to those of the third generation. The plot and battle of the era are still very satisfactory.

Especially when they found out that every time they complete a battle, they can automatically bring the buildings unlocked in the battle, as well as arms, and heroes into their city of Titans, gradually making the city lively, When the campaign is finally completed, you can go shopping in the city daily and experience the feeling of meeting various plot characters at any time.

This kind of experience made all the players happy, and at this time, Warcraft 4 ranked first in various game magazines and rankings with a score of 9.5 points or more, and even surpassed its predecessor Warcraft for a time. 3 ratings.

But soon, many players found that they were fooled. Although the game time of the entire campaign plot design was as high as 40 hours, in the real-time strategy games at that time, it was quite a long campaign plot. The focus is not on the battle.

As for the 40-hour campaign, generally speaking, it takes ordinary players about one to two weeks to complete all of them. After all, players still have to go to work.

But this time the frenzy caused by Warcraft IV is too intense, and the game itself is indeed very exciting, especially the various reward buildings and NPCs given to the city, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the players As for the players, they never thought that the game could be played like this!
So many players even asked for leave to play the game. As a result, in the 24th hour of the release, some players emptied all the campaign plots.

And after 72 hours, more than 30% of the players have completed all the campaign plots.And after a week, more than 60% of the players have also completed the campaign story.

Then these players found helplessly that they could no longer add any new additions to their cities.Because almost all the game buildings and NPCs come from the campaign story, although there are more than a dozen buildings and NPCs with achievement rewards from skirmish mode and ranked battle mode, but these rewards are too few, It takes a long time to obtain it, and more importantly, it is unstable, so those who love the city mode very much, especially when they like to watch the maids of various races entering their palaces, these players shouted for fresher ones. City content!

Do you know what is the most hateful thing? The most hateful thing is that these maids are either wearing thick armor or wearing a long robe, with only their arms and ankles exposed.

Even the elf female warriors, who only wear leather armor, are actually wearing armor all over their bodies, which is simply too much to outrageously.

At this time, Blizzard announced the Titan store in the city. There are two different products sold in the store, one is a blind box, and the other is various buildings, NPCs, and clothing used by NPCs.

Among the first batch of publicly sold products, there were two things that made all the players stare wide-eyed.

Among them is a set of costumes in all publicly sold products: silk stockings, which are divided into white and black. The effect is to make all the characters equipped with this costume show the effect of white silk.

Many players couldn't help it when they thought of changing their night elf maids into white silk.And the price is not expensive. A pair of stockings only costs 50 00 coins, which is less than 10 dollars. Isn’t it just that little money to buy a pair of stockings in reality?

Buying, not buying is not human!

As a result, this became the craziest selling item in the first issue. It is said that all players bought at least one item, and the outstanding players bought more than 1 items in one go, and then exchanged them for all the NPCs in their city. Put on stockings...including those male NPCs.

That's right, even male NPCs can wear stockings. Here I have to praise Blizzard for its meticulousness. They really made the effect of stockings for all NPC character models, even if it is a tauren. Exception, praise!

However, it is worth mentioning that stockings can only change the model display effect of the legs, so if you buy stockings alone and do not match other clothing that can match stockings, you will often see a wolf on the street wearing His Excellency Thrall, the orc great chief hero with heavy armor and white silk on his legs!

This is not an isolated case. There are even many players who buy stockings and put them on for male NPCs. As for what they are trying to do, it is not clear.

According to incomplete statistics, in just 4 months, Warcraft 4 was sold, more than 5 million pairs of stockings, and the income from selling stockings alone reached about [-] million US dollars.

In addition, another thing that amazes players is the luxurious rewards in the blind box.

First of all, it is naturally impossible to buy items sold in the blind box through other channels, and can only be selected in the blind box.And the rewards from the blind box are actually far better than the publicly sold products. The most common reward is a piece of NPC clothing.

Rare rewards are mounts and special NPCs. For example, the special NPC in the first phase is King Terenas Menethil of Lordaeron. This man died in Warcraft III, so it is naturally impossible to pass the battle. The epidemic group appeared in the city of Titans, but if you draw the blind box, you can get His Royal Highness who is miserable around you.

Some people may think that the King of Lordaeron is not well-known, so he cannot drive the sales of blind boxes.But the fact is just the opposite. Terenas has caused quite a wave of consumption, and many people buy blind boxes just to get such a King of Lordaeron.

This is because one player invented a mean play.

First of all, I want to praise the degree of freedom of Titan City, because there is an arena building in Titan City, and players who are kings can freely arrange NPCs to fight in the arena, and even enter the arena to meet someone in person. NPC battles are also possible.

At the same time, Alsace is an NPC that automatically joins Titan City after completing all the giant tasks, so players can completely set Alsace and Terenas to be the two NPCs fighting in the arena, Then the players can sit on the VIP high platform of the arena and watch the father and son fight mercilessly in the arena again with a smile.

It is worth mentioning that, because all heroes will appear in their prime of life after entering the city of Titans, while Arthas has gotten rid of the state of the Lich King, so these two opponents are heroes of the human race. It can be said that they are evenly matched.

So when these two heroes went to war, it was no longer the son stabbing the father, but the old father beating his son so violently that Alsace couldn't lift his head, and the two NPCs still had own lines, and after defeating his son, the old father would proudly say "Your father will always be your father!"

As you can imagine, when this video appeared on the Internet, it caused a huge response from players.

However, compared with the luxurious rewards in the blind box this time, it is still too far behind.This time the luxurious reward in the blind box is a building, that is to say, a special building that can only be obtained in the blind box: Liqiu Courtyard.

Aha, I believe that readers who hear this name will immediately understand what it is.

Well, some people may think that this is a trick to sell dog meat, just like many Chinese online games also have such buildings, but if you go in and take a look, you will find that the NPCs inside are dressed more tightly than the other. Not exciting.

Well, this is naturally the case in China and other countries that have stricter control over this aspect. Although the Chinese version of Warcraft 4 also has this special building reward, all the female NPCs or male NPCs in it wear the same clothes. They are stricter than one, and all of them are people who sell their skills but not their bodies.

However, players can see these NPCs of different races singing and dancing, and even playing the piano and strings, showing their talents to the fullest, which is a worthwhile trip.

But there are still some countries that actually don’t have any restrictions. At most, they just ask for some restrictions, so this special building in these cities is really...

Well, when it comes to this, everyone should understand how terrifying the blind box sales are this time.
