Chapter 253: In-game Closed Beta
With the Bloodline internal closed beta game, they felt more and more about how difficult the game was to play.
First of all, the monster is too strong, and the player's early means of fighting the enemy are lacking, and I am afraid that even a wild boar will not be able to win without relying on crowd tactics.
In addition, there is no such thing as no experience, so naturally there is no such thing as leveling, and basically if you don't drink such things as genetic enhancement potions, the player's attributes will not change.
There is an alternate experience merit that serves to exchange the base for things like skills, weapons, materials, potions, and can also be traded between players.
In this way, merit has basically become the currency in the early stage, and merit between players has become the most important deposit, what is money?
The monsters are powerful, and it is difficult for players to become stronger, which is nothing.
As long as there are enough players, what monster can't be pushed down when united? What task can't be completed?
But one of the settings that the blood clan doesn't know how to complain about the most is...... The players themselves have their own factions.
In fact, this is understandable, after all, many gamers are divided into camps.
But there are too many camps set by Lan Mu, a country is a camp, and earth players are reincarnated into different exploration bases according to different countries, and people from the same country will be born together.
In this way, the player is equivalent to the difficulty of Hell mode from the beginning, and the future is dark......
Within a small area of one million square kilometers, there are all kinds of monsters, monsters, and dangerous areas. The north has a harsh climate and ice fields, as well as hidden undead creatures.
Although the southeast has a pleasant climate and is a great plain, it is the territory of native humans, and a powerful dynasty stands there, which is not in league with the player, after all, the player belongs to the alien invaders.
Not to mention the western and southern regions, the vast primeval forests and steppe regions are all entrenched by powerful races.
Therefore, the player's living environment is already very bad, and the result is infighting.
In the only gap, the player is divided into more than 200 camps, which is deliberately provoking contradictions in real countries.
When you are weak in the early stage, it is impossible to seize the land of the NPC's powerful country, right? So what to do?
When the living space expands, it will inevitably touch the territory of the exploration base next door, and when you run to ask, it will be all foreigners.
At first, everyone lived together peacefully, but what if the outward expansion was frustrated? What should I do if I can't win against NPCs?
In the end, war seemed inevitable.
This was indeed done by Lan Mu on purpose, he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to set it this way.
He did this with the mindful that where there is war, there is pain, and when there is pain, nightmares will grow.
But he didn't force the player to die, and he still left a way to live.
First of all, he did not set up any country to be sealed in the cracks, and there was no country that was surrounded by foreign countries on all sides.
More than 200 exploration bases are arranged in a circle in this area, and they can choose to unite!
Unite to expand in the direction of NPC forces, and through guò warfare can also be through guò other means.
Players can fight against NPC forces, fight endlessly, and fight! You can also blend in and become a member of the NPC faction.
This is a game with a high degree of freedom, and everything depends on the player's choice and the arrangement of fate.
Lan Mu himself can't fully understand what the future of this game will be.
……
On February 22, an unknown game company made a statement.
At the same time, a video of the game's promotional video began to circulate on the Internet, accompanied by a large introduction to the game's background.
"The first holographic virtual reality online game in history "Apocalypse" began internal testing, and the internal test number and game equipment ...... were randomly distributed worldwide at 7 pm on the 22nd."
The news was released by an American company called Angel Group. After investigation, it was found out that eight well-known American game companies were actually jointly established and merged their respective channels to sell this game.
From the review of this game to the pre-sale, the American government gave the green light to all the lines, and all the formalities were completed in half a day.
It's simply the best government game ever.
The propaganda gimmick lies in three points, absolute freedom, absolute realism, and 100% virtual reality.
After the announcement of the Angel Group in major online media, it first caused a sensation in the game industry, and then young people all over the world were shocked.
They flocked to the company's official website to check out the details.
After repeatedly checking the promotional video and the introduction of the game, a large group of skeptical people swiped the news on the official website forum.
"The gimmick is too big, 100% virtual reality, is that funny? If you get a CG, it's a game record, and eight major companies jointly spent a lot of money to build it, and the money was spent on promotional videos, right? ”
"This game is free, mainly sells equipment, you look at the pre-sale on the official website, the minimum is 500 US dollars, and the highest is 10,000 US dollars! I pay $10,000 for a game? And it's also a device that can only play this one game. ”
"Upstairs is definitely not really a fan of the game, although I don't believe it either, but I dare to buy a regular version for five hundred dollars and try the water. After all, virtual reality is something I want to play in my dreams, what if it comes true? ”
"Actually, I still believe it, maybe it's not as bad as I imagined? After all, it was jointly built by eight major companies, in short, it was better than the current game, and five hundred yuan was nothing. ”
"You look at the introduction carefully, you spent money on pre-selling equipment, and you just have a chance to get the internal test qualification, maybe you won't be able to draw the internal test number at all."
"Haha, there are 100,000 closed beta numbers, and in addition to throwing them away to various professional players, the rest is enough to distribute to the world. After all, you have to buy equipment to be eligible for internal testing, and I don't think many people are willing to spend money to test this water. ”
"Forget it, it's only five hundred dollars, I'll buy it!"
"I'll buy it too!"
"If I'm deceived, I'm out of luck!"
……
"True Ancestor, last night's beta test number distribution went smoothly......" said the American Blood Clan Game Tycoon excitedly
"Expected."
"A total of 155,000 players around the world have pre-sold, and 90% of them are buying the regular version of the device, because there are only 100,000 closed beta numbers prepared, so many people have not become internal beta testers, and they are complaining in the forum."
After hearing this, Lan Mu was stunned for a moment, and laughed dumbly.
In terms of publicity, he spent a lot of effort to directly integrate the game companies controlled by the eight blood clans, integrate their channels and word-of-mouth influence, etc., to promote this virtual online game.
In addition, some promotional videos have great effects, all of which are live games recorded directly by Lan Mu from the dream world.
Although players think that it is CG made of special effects, the game itself is definitely not like this. But Lan Mu doesn't care, they'll understand when they enter the game.
What about CG? For CG, people are also willing to pay for equipment out of their pockets.
What kind of gorgeous scene Lan Mu wants to create in the dream is just a matter of thought, and the remaining difficulty is only to record it and make it reality.
Originally, Lan Mu couldn't do it, but after becoming an angel and having the power of faith, it was different.
He created a substance between dream and reality, and used it to create a receiver of dream information.
Scenes are recorded in dreams and sent to reality, and only this receiver can receive the information and store it.
In reality, it is easy to do, copy to the server, a large number of technicians of the Angel Group actually do this, maintain the stability of the video function.
After all, what's the point of playing a game, players can't take screenshots and videos, and can't pretend to show off?
With this, players can record what they see and hear in the game, and the recorded material will come to life through the receiver, and then send it to the player's bound game account through the technical staff of the Angel Group.
This game account is also the account of the forum, and they can send it out to everyone on the official forum, or they can download it to their computer and collect it themselves.
"True Ancestor, according to your previous settings, these betalists will be distributed to different exploration bases. But now that some countries only have single-digit people who have qualified for the closed beta, is it possible to make an entire novice village only have six players? A populous country like Huaguo has 5,000 internal testers at the same time, which directly accounts for one-twentieth of the total. It's so unfair to those small countries. ”
Hearing this, Lan Mu had already expected it, and he said: "Tell the beta testers, this closed beta only has six novice villages, including Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, North America and South America. ”
"Understood, True Ancestor, the beta test time is set for eight o'clock tonight?"
"Well, let's do it."
The internal test is still very important, Lan Mu has to closely observe the situation of the internal test, in order to have no mistakes or omissions, he will carry out a certain number of patch corrections.
In order to be able
