When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 563 Why are there more and more side quests?

This is a problem that everyone has ignored before, but now it seems that this problem is very serious, and it seems that there is no way to change it.

This video by Zhuge Jun is the key to transforming the strength party and Tuntun rats into the XP party.

If it really succeeds, there will be no strength party in "Endless Fantasy Tales 2", only XP party left, then this mechanism will no longer produce negative emotions, on the contrary, it will continuously create positive emotions!
Lilith felt a little crazy when she thought about this.

"Damn it!

"This Zhuge Jun! How could he be like this!

"That's obviously not what I thought!"

Obviously, Zhuge Jun predicted Lilith's prediction. Although he started from the wrong starting point, he accidentally reached the correct conclusion.

"Endless Fantasy Legend 2" has indeed arranged the enhancement of the hero and Xiyun throughout the whole process, as well as the enhancement of various unpopular UP pool five-star characters. The strength is spirally increasing, and every character can get a share of the benefits.

There are even two ways to enhance this:
The first is a pure design routine, like Xingying and Ningyun Zhenjun, the subsequent content is coordinated from the mechanism, which is a disguised enhancement;

The other is pure numerical enhancement, which not only enhances the characters whose numerical values ​​were deliberately lowered in the original design, but also enhances the weaker characters according to certain rules based on comprehensive data such as usage rate and total damage monitored in real time.

For example, after comprehensively evaluating multiple factors such as usage rate and total damage, one of the lowest-ranked characters is randomly selected and its specific attributes are enhanced according to a pre-set enhancement plan.

This was also pre-written in the program, and even Gu Fan didn't know who specifically would be enhanced.

But no matter what, Zhuge Jun guessed it right. The characters in this game will indeed be enhanced, it’s just a matter of how much.

Of course, with so many characters, it is impossible to treat them all equally.

Even if everyone has the opportunity to be enhanced, there will always be a few evergreen trees, and it is impossible to achieve absolute balance.

But anyway, this mechanism is much better than other card drawing games that never adjust the balance.

Players won't be too harsh on them. After all, XP players just want an attitude.

Generally, manufacturers just need to avoid doing something as lame as not reproducing an unpopular XP character for more than 300 days. If they enhance the stats of unpopular characters like Against the Heaven did, they would be simply being the Lord.

"Damn it, this Zhuge Jun, let's wait and see!
“I didn’t expect that you would repay kindness with hatred.

"Humph, I'm not panicking! Once the Fantasy Book takes action, everything will be fine!"

Lilith disappeared angrily.

……

At the same time, Chen Tingquan was looking at his task list and began to doubt his life.

"If I remember correctly, there was only one side quest in this list at the beginning?"

Looking back on his previous gaming experience, Chen Tingquan felt a little overwhelmed, because there were still several side quest items in his task list.

This is even after he has worked hard to complete many tasks.

At the beginning, there was only a very simple task, "Adventure in the Mountains", which was nothing more than fighting a few monsters and rescuing a herbalist who fainted on the road.

Even though the task of purifying the four blessed places was activated later, Chen Tingquan felt that it would only take a dozen minutes at most to complete.

But as the mission progressed, more and more things seemed to be wrong.

Because the further you go, the more new tasks these paradises will open!
The first paradise is open by default and the whole journey takes no more than five minutes.

The second paradise began to become complicated. After saving the Angelica Spirit, in order to make the thousand-year-old Angelica produce the best effect, you also need to find Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, Lycium barbarum, special water and a medicine furnace.

After finding the Codonopsis Essence, there is actually a mission.

In the plot setting, the effects of Codonopsis pilosula are similar to those of ginseng, but its medicinal power is relatively weak, so it can only be used instead of ginseng in the treatment of general deficiency syndromes. If it is a serious case of collapse, ginseng still has to be used.

In other words, Codonopsis has always felt that it lives in the shadow of Ginseng.

There are three different Codonopsis spirits here. They have all been affected by evil spirits and want to prove that they are stronger than ginseng, so they go to different places to start practicing.

Some buried themselves deep in the soil, trying to absorb more nutrients; some soaked themselves in water, trying to try hydroponics and use themselves for scientific research; and some simply parasitized other plants, becoming a hotbed for cultivating evil spirits...

At this time, the player has to find the three Codonopsis essences separately and complete different puzzles.

The one buried in the soil needs to be dug continuously according to the clues on the ground, and finally a big hole is dug out;

The one in the water needs to open the mechanism to release the water, and then defeat the monster under the water;

The one that parasitizes other plants must defeat all the evil spirits and complete purification, and then use special techniques to separate it from the original plant...

The same is true for other medicinal herbs, except that each herb has different task content and puzzle-solving methods based on its own medicinal properties and characteristics.

After finally finishing the second paradise, the third paradise has more content! The second paradise has five small branches, and each branch has two to four small branches.

The third paradise was even worse, with ten small branches appearing all at once, and each small branch had three to five smaller branches.

As for the fourth paradise, Chen Tingquan didn't even dare to think about it.

However, some players have already started to complain online. These hardworking players should be almost reaching the end of the mission and are almost losing their minds due to hard work.

According to these players, throughout the entire series of tasks, players actually need to rescue monsters corresponding to seventy-seven different medicinal herbs.

Each monster has a varying number of side quests, and the plots and decryption methods are also different.

For example, some require fighting monsters, some require cooking, some require searching, some require racing, and some are other miscellaneous puzzles.

The only thing they have in common is that they are not easy to accomplish.

It is for this reason that many players on the Internet call these monsters "Seventy-seven Living Dads".

When I first received this task, I thought it would take at most ten minutes to complete.

After finishing the first stage, I felt that twenty minutes was about right.

After finishing the second stage, I think two hours should be enough, right?

After completing the third stage, the completion time may be extended to days.

When reaching the fourth stage, many players began to seriously consider a question: Can this thing really be completed before the next version update?
Of course, the size of this task is not that exaggerated. All in all, it can be completed within 20 hours.

But the problem is that not every player can play for several hours every day.

If players play for an hour or two every day, this side quest alone will be enough for two weeks.

If some players underestimate this task at the beginning and have outrageous ideas like "finish it in an afternoon", then just do it and don't say anything.

Of course, we can't blame the players for underestimating it. This mission is very confusing from the beginning. It looks like just an ordinary side quest, and there is no corresponding big scene, which makes it easy for players to misunderstand.

If players were hinted at the outset that this task was long and complicated, perhaps after seeing the phenomenon of "task giving birth", players would have less negative emotions.

But how should I put it? This kind of misunderstanding and gap is exactly what Lilith wants. It is a great way to collect negative emotions.

In addition, there is another annoying thing about this task, which is that the further you progress, the worse the rewards become!

In theory, all the tasks in "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" will give game coins, which can be used to exchange for draws.

Therefore, players are generally happy to complete tasks.

Although the plot cannot be skipped, the previous main storyline is relatively condensed, there are not that many dialogues, and exploration, combat and dialogue are interspersed with each other. Coupled with the generous rewards after completing the task, players have no complaints.

But this branch quest is different. The rewards given in the beginning are normal, but they get less and less in the later stages!

Even in the middle of a series of quests, even the game coins that can be exchanged for draws are no longer given, and instead all that is given are character experience books, weapon forging stones, and other basic strengthening materials.

Although these things are useful, players basically don't lack them.

This is uncomfortable!
If you do it, it will be very torturous and the reward won’t be much; if you don’t do it, the task will just be hanging here and it will be painful to look at.

At this time, many players simply gave up the task.

No more! Out of sight, out of mind. As long as it’s not on my to-do list, it doesn’t matter where it is!
The herbalist Renxin is still unconscious and is being taken care of by the ginseng spirit.

But what? You stay unconscious.

In order to save you, I have run across most of Daliang, and I have tried my best. Anyway, you just lie there, and you won't die even if there is a ginseng spirit to keep you alive. I will rest first.

Although not completing the task will affect your lifespan, continuing to complete this task will affect my lifespan.

Many players eventually chose to reconcile with themselves.

But there is still a group of players who can never be so free and easy.

Those are the players who purchased the physical copy of "Fantasy Book"!
Because if you don’t complete this side quest, you won’t be able to stamp the Fantasy Book!

And every time you scan the corresponding chapter, it will buzz and vibrate, reminding you that there is something unfinished.

Who can stand this? Isn't this going to drive people with obsessive compulsive disorder to death?

There is no other choice but to keep doing it.
