Build a game empire from scratch

An hour later, under Yan Gaoqing's education, the deception of mowing the grass and enjoying the tour was exposed without any suspense.

The players were all stunned.

The plan to rush into Luoyang City to kill and kill, encountered a huge obstacle at the first step——

They can't get in...

[Vortex Forum] posts, almost the entire page is full of question marks.

Everyone is asking:

Where is the problem?

In Yunmeng's own virtual forum, the Chang'an section and the Dark Soul section are all frantically calling for bosses.

I hope to have some strategies, teaching, or skipping skills.

[Consonance] On social networks, the most frequently asked question is:

Where is the difficulty option of this game? Why can't I find it?

Someone even went to the comment section of the official accounts of Lin You and Chang'an to leave a message:

[ @Lin You, the current difficulty of the game in Dark Souls, is it another April Fool's Day joke? If so, please change it quickly! I can't wait for tomorrow! ]

This comment even got more than 30,000 likes!

Lin You replied deliberately: Give up, this is the normal difficulty.

But after thinking about his personal safety, he wisely gave up this idea and obediently became a dead person.

[Sorrow is everywhere], this is the key word in the first hour of the release of Dark Soul.

Seeing this scene, only Lin You and Xiao Meng were big enough to chatter silly.

The employees of the development team have panicked.

——It wasn't because of the public opinion on the Internet. After Lin You made troubles again and again, the employees of Yunmeng had already developed enough immunity to the public opinion on the Internet.

What really makes them flustered is——

Dark Soul created the most exaggerated refund data in Yunmeng's history!

In the past, of course, Yunmeng's games also had refunds.

But because every game and every area in the virtual world is connected to a certain extent.

Buying a game is not only playing the game, but also an upgrade, a cultivation of the virtual world.

Therefore, the game refund rate has always been very low, so low that it can shock all colleagues in the world to drop their jaws!

But Dark Souls breaks that history.

While Qin Songyun was surprised, he could actually understand:

Dark Soul is indeed a sufficiently hard-core game. After an impulsive purchase by too casual players, their mentality will be broken instantly, and it is normal to get a refund.

Moreover, Luoyang, the magical capital in Dark Souls, is obviously not a beautiful place, so it can be a place where you can go for a stroll if you have nothing to do...

They understand, but they're still a little uncomfortable...

The only good news is: Luoyang City will not be like this forever.

After a while, the players found that the city can still be beautiful, and the scenery party and collectors will still come back.

In the second hour of the release, things began to change——

The first thing to change is the old forum: [Vortex Game Forum].

The users here were once proud of being elite players. Accurate and hardcore game data and strategies.

Even if Yunmeng's virtual forum was completely crushed in terms of user numbers, the stable user group and strategy quality of [Vortex Forum] did not decrease in the slightest.

And now, the change of wind direction starts from here——

Among the players who opened the city gate first and entered Luoyang City, many of them were naturally the first to run the main line and compete for the honor of the world's first pass.

But there are also many people who stopped immediately and started making strategies immediately!

[Shanggao], [Superiority], [Green Smoke and Remnant Dreams] almost released strategy posts before and after.

Instead of simply releasing his own battle video, he carefully analyzed the boss' attack moves and behavior logic for everyone, and each gave his own summary and the best way to judge the timing of the shield counterattack.

[Shanggao] judges by looking at the shoulders, [Snakes add horns] by looking at the angle at which the boss's elbow is bent, and [Qingyan Canmeng] is the most special - listen to the sound of the boss's weapon breaking the wind, as long as you catch that Subtle and special sound, the success rate is almost 100%!

As the veteran moderator of [Vortex Forum] and the double identity of the beta player of Dark Soul, Shanggao also developed and demonstrated [No Shield Anti-Small Jump Speed ​​Kill], and [Micro Shield Anti-Turtle Slow Kill flow] two distinct techniques.

The former requires extremely high reaction speed, distance judgment and body control ability. It is a relatively high-level but highly ornamental skill.

The latter, like its name, is an imperfect [shield counter], although it can also resist damage, but it will continue to reduce the durability of the pot shield. Basically, after the battle, the shield will be useless.

But this trick also has a huge advantage: it's simple!

It is at least twice as simple as a perfect shield that does not consume durability!

Just one step behind the strategy posts of these three, all kinds of boss battle videos have sprung up in the forum like mushrooms after rain.

——The bosses are all out to show off their operations!

The more the player circle mourns that the game is too difficult, the more excited these bosses will be!

Not only to win, but also to play handsomely! Show it off!

However, the three guide videos were the most widely disseminated—less than 10 minutes after they were released, they were reposted all over the Internet.

When the big summer players saw that there was a strategy, they didn't bother to complain, and they started to study the strategy and played again.

...

...

Compared to Super Tomato taking 3 and a half hours to defeat Yan Gaoqing during the closed beta, the current players are much faster!

But this is not because Super Tomato is too good, and Yunmeng has not modified the difficulty.

The reason for this difference is actually very simple -

Players can communicate with each other.

Any discovery and any technique can be quickly disseminated, popularized, and optimized.

Especially the internal beta players have decrypted it one after another, and quickly pushed the boss to demonstrate to everyone, and even the internal beta players started to make strategies as soon as it was released.

Compared with building a car behind closed doors by one person, the efficiency is of course sky-high!

However, this rapid transformation only happened in Daxia for the time being.

And strategies are not omnipotent.

On Xia Yi's side, Mr. Counting has refreshed to - [Death]*48.

And Xia Yi's progress has just reached the second stage.

Now in the live broadcast room, her name is no longer Xia Yi, but [Cai Yi]...

On the live broadcast screen, Cai Yi, who had been abused for more than an hour, also started to go mad, looking at the BOSS's eyes with fire!

Fighting and shouting.

Every time before the shield is reversed, one has to shout - Shield is reversed!

Every time you stab the boss with a sword, you have to shout—Death!

So her battle process is almost like explaining while fighting——

Shield counter!

Death!

Shield counter!

Death!

...

As a result, Xia Yi's mentality exploded, but the water friends became more and more excited and happier the more they watched.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was so good.

...

After more than an hour after the release, the American players who were bewildered finally poured into Dark Soul in large numbers and began to attend classes.

However, they are likely to be the group of players who have been abused the most.

Because of their latency issues, it has not been fully resolved.

[Peak Battle] has not been able to achieve very good results, and Chang'an is also difficult to use the high-sensitivity and fast-break development routines, because they need to use a springboard to jump to the server in Mexico to enter the virtual world.

Even if the foundation optimizes the agent network uniformly and improves their game experience a lot, it still cannot fundamentally solve the gap caused by the lack of hardware.

——But the foundation is not doing charity this time. The income earned from the network agency is completely enough for the foundation to operate independently and continue to distribute money.

Lin You no longer needs to pay out of his own pocket to subsidize this [Foundation for Freedom of Life and Democratic Activities].

Not only do you not need it, you even earn it.

This also made him somewhat admire Elman—as expected of a mature capitalist with top-notch vision and skills!

To get back to the topic, the delay of American players is higher than that of most countries.

The problem caused by the delay is that when the boss attack speed is faster, the timing of the shield counter is more difficult to grasp, and it may even be a bit counter-intuitive-the more intuition it feels, the more likely it will lead to mistakes.

Of course, in the first stage of the boss, the problems caused by this delay are still within the tolerance range.

But after the transformation in the second stage, the difficulty of shielding, which is already extremely difficult to operate, will soar!

It's clearly not a pleasant experience...

Eika, who was once taken away by the FBI, is getting more and more violent now.

It wasn't until the 18th time that he felt that he was sure to succeed in the shield counterattack failed, and he was sent away by the ax that was inexplicably slowed down by the boss.

Seeing the big word death in front of him, he went mad——

After being resurrected, holding the sword in both hands, he stabbed desperately on the floor, shouting in non-standard Chinese while stabbing:

Shi! Shi! Shi!...

Fuck! Shit!!!

Fu~~~~~~ck!!
