When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 546: The gold coins explode in days
Zhuge Jun suddenly turned over and sat up from the bed: "I just received it too, is this a world quest pushed according to the server time?

"Qinglin...isn't this the character you drew with your first number?"

Both of them felt a little strange. Isn't the way to trigger this world quest too weird?
Generally speaking, there are two most common ways to trigger this type of task: one is to unlock it along the task line, for example, after the player completes all the main tasks, a special world task will be unlocked; the other is to be triggered by the area, that is, when the player arrives at a specific area and meets a specific character, it will be triggered.

At this time, this task is triggered according to the server time.

Is there such a practice? Of course there is, for example, when the game is updated and a new activity task is released, it is pushed to all players according to the server time.

But this push from Against Heaven seemed to come without warning, because this was not the normal server update time, and there was no need for so many complicated updates to the beta version.

The most important thing is that everyone knows that once a game from Against the Heavens is launched, it will not be changed, including online games like "Shadow World", so this task was probably decided early on.

This is the time to update.

Then...why?

Zhuge Jun and Hou Ji didn't think much about it. Since there was a mission, they just did it.

The two ran to the area of ​​the Land of Earth, found Qinglin and received the mission.

This mission is generally very simple. Qinglin simply feels powerless when fighting against the enemies of the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom, and feels that he is too weak, so he has to participate in the special training of the immortals.

The brave man accompanied her to complete the special training.

During this process, players can also switch characters and control Qinglin, which can be regarded as the "character legend mission" in some games. It can better supplement the character plot and also play a role in sales.

Soon, after a series of puzzles and battles, the mission was completed.

If it were in other games, at this point, it would be nothing more than giving players some rewards, and that would be the end of it.

But in "Endless Fantasy Tales 2", a special interface pops up.

The above describes in great detail the effect of Qinglin’s special training: the numerical value has been greatly improved!

Basic attributes and skill multipliers have all changed accordingly.

Zhuge Jun was stunned: "Huh? What does this mean! The attributes of the character can be changed???"

Other games do have similar systems for character upgrades, such as increasing levels, increasing stars, or advancing, but those are fixed from the beginning.

"Endless Fantasy Tales 2" is different. In addition to the traditional character upgrades, this special training mission directly improves the character's most basic numerical settings!
In other words, each level is better than the previous one!

Hou Ji was confused: "Is it true? I'll go check it out."

He quickly switched back to the previous account and completed Qinglin's special training task again.

After the task was completed and all attributes were improved, Hou Ji randomly found a few stronger monsters to try out.

The conclusion is shocking: it has really been strengthened, and the strengthening is quite significant!
Don’t underestimate the improvement in numerical values. In many cases, the strength of everything is based on numerical values.

Although Qinglin is a character of wind attribute, which does not give her an advantage in terms of mechanism when facing enemies of fire attribute, but after being strengthened, the damage and monster gathering effect of her wind attribute ultimate skill are real!
Originally, Xiyun was used to hang water, and then Qinglin was used to release a hurricane to gather monsters and spread attributes. Although this set of moves can also produce a good combo effect, due to the lack of numerical values, the damage is not enough.

After that, there will be a gap period because you have to wait for two more big skills to charge. During this period, it will be very uncomfortable and you will be beaten by monsters.

But now, Qinglin not only has increased attributes, increased range and damage of her ultimate skill, but most importantly, the cooldown of her ultimate skill has also been shortened.

Coupled with the almost invincible monster-gathering effect of the ultimate move, the character that was originally despised by all dogs suddenly made a big comeback.

With a little training and combining it with the elemental reactions of other characters, you can perform a set of combos to instantly kill a group of monsters. The gaming experience is elevated to more than one level.

Therefore, all balance problems are ultimately numerical problems!
Without numbers, even the best mechanism cannot be utilized; but as long as there are numbers, even the worst mechanism can be utilized.

The improvement in Qinglin's numerical values ​​has resulted in a huge turnaround. From being ignored, he has become the most indispensable part of the team.

Hou Ji was stunned. He looked at the account with Qinglin in his hand, and then looked at the other account with Hanshuang.

This Qinglin seems to be even more fragrant?
Then why did I go to so much trouble to create another account to draw Frost?

Had I known this earlier, wouldn’t I have just been playing as Qinglin?

Hou Ji was helpless, but when he casually flipped through the forum, he found that he was not the most unlucky one.

Those who have been chasing strong heroes but missed them perfectly are the most unlucky!
The players who didn't get Lei Tu at first played for a few hours, then saw the discussion online and decided to create another account to get Lei Tu.
After I drew Lei Tu, Frost appeared, so I decided to draw another Frost.
I finally got Frost and started training again. Well, Qinglin suddenly became much stronger!
Looking at the character I drew first, hey, it’s not Qinglin, but another character. Are you surprised?

You can imagine how angry these people are.

They felt like they were being walked around like dogs. Of course, there were also players who wanted to watch the fun: "It's not like other characters are not playable, who told you to draw the strongest character?"

But it is clear that these players' anger is justified.

Because other games give characters gold coins, but that is measured in years;

But the gold coins that explode against heaven are measured in days!

The public beta lasted for only a week, and first Han Shuang defeated Lei Tu, and then Qing Lin defeated Han Shuang.

How can you do that? Are you still talking about the basic rules of the card drawing game?

Of course, some people also say that it is an internal test now and no money has been spent, so what is there to be angry about?
But obviously, this statement cannot calm the public anger.

First of all, although they didn’t pay, these people put in real time and effort;

Secondly, if I have paid, then isn't this behavior of exploding gold coins a scam? If the character I bought doesn't retain its value, isn't that even more reason to make a fuss?

In short, there was a heated argument online.

When Hou Ji saw these players whose defenses were broken, he actually felt that he was not so unlucky after all, and could even say that he was a little lucky.

After all, he has two accounts, one with Qinglin and the other with Hanshuang, and the gaming experience is very good, much better than those unlucky guys who always miss the opportunity.

……

night.

Lilith was reading the online discussions among players with great interest.

"Very good, Gu Fan, very good!
“I am very satisfied with the results of the internal test, which proves that the solution is completely feasible!

"We will do the same for the official version, and we will do it with greater efforts!"

Seeing the reputation of the beta version, Lilith couldn't help but feel full of confidence.

Obviously, the real purpose of this beta version is completely different from what players guessed.

Players thought that the closed beta of Against the Heaven should be similar to that of other game companies, right? It was nothing more than testing for bugs and getting feedback from players.

Their guess was right, but also wrong, because Lilith does look at player feedback, but it mainly looks at feedback on negative emotions.

Obviously, this was just an appetizer, just to verify the card drawing mechanism designed by Gu Fan before.

We haven't tested the "the more you draw, the more unlucky" part yet, only the "explosive gold coins" and "character numerical balance" parts.

The test results are very satisfactory!

This is the charm of the card drawing game. Slightly changing the data of the characters drawn by players is enough to make them have a lot of negative emotions.

Apart from this, other negative reviews of Endless Fantasy Tales 2 are roughly within the expected range.

It's nothing more than the expected criticisms about multi-terminal interoperability, pay-to-win mobile games, card draws, mechanism cuts, etc.

Speaking of this, Gu Fan felt a little bit regretful.

"Boss Li, I suddenly feel that if we open a new company to make this game, perhaps the effect will be better.

"The golden signboard of Ni Tian Tang is still too hard."

If a new company made this game, it would definitely not be able to use these IPs anymore, and it would have to become a copycat version. In that case, it would probably attract more criticism.

Perhaps this is a more perfect start for collecting negative emotions.

But Lilith didn’t care about it: “It doesn’t matter.

“Opening a new company certainly has these advantages, but there is also a problem, which is that we can’t monetize the golden signboard of Ni Tian Tang.

"Anyway, we must cash in this time and convert all the reputation we have accumulated into negative emotions!"

Lilith said this with great confidence.
