Chapter 902: World of Warcraft begins public beta

Zhang Ziqiang and Qiu Ze rushed to level 22 a month before the summer vacation, and then after they rushed to level 28 in the second month, the two thieves and one virtue had been fighting for a long time in Talen Mill in the hills of Hillsbrad, and they did the task when they received the task, and they fought monsters when they encountered monsters, and killed the alliance when they encountered the alliance, and they didn't know how many alliance players of more than level 20 were killed near Nanhai Town, which caused the alliance to be angry and resentful.

A lot of people came to them with a small account, saying that everyone is a closed beta player, can they still play the game together? They also grinned when they heard this, and replied that their test was mainly for PVP, so the other party stopped talking.

This also leads to every time you go out of Nanhai Town to do a mission, the alliance players must go in pairs, otherwise they will be killed by these three sneaking tribe guys and they don't know how to die.

As time passed, their levels all became 30 full levels in the closed beta, and the alliance players who slaughtered Nanhai Town became their favorite, and their PK technology became more and more mature, whether it was 1VS1 or 3VS3, they basically would not fail.

Today is the first 3VS4, although the opponent is not at level 30, but there are 4 people, which makes them quite complacent.

"I killed more than ten batches of alliances today, that's enough, the bugs collected are the same as those submitted a few days ago, and I don't see any new problems. Let's go, go and finish the mission of Ravenhold Manor, this is a thief's professional mission, but unfortunately we can't even find the way! ”

Qiu Ze was most annoyed by this, as a thief, he often felt that his energy was not enough, especially when he was killing the alliance at the gate of Nanhai Town, he couldn't wait for his energy bar to be used up endlessly. It's a pity that this is not possible.

He had already calculated the thief's energy release and the formula for recovery, and the only thing that could increase his energy was the item Chrysanthemum Tea. In the closed beta forum post, a Rogue player mentioned that the reward item for the Ravenhold Manor quest was Chrysanthemum Tea, and he wanted to ask for details. It's a pity that the other party never showed up on the forum again, and he could only regretfully grope for himself.

"A thief who doesn't bring chrysanthemum tea is not a good thief!"

The three stealthy fellows began to wander around the hills of Hillsbrad again, and they in Madahar missed the entrance to the hill a few times, and they seemed to ignore another adage: "A thief who is not careful is not a good thief!" ”

……

When China's LongGame, Europe's Lost.EU, and China's EHOME finished in the top three of Dota's for the WCG2005 season, players all over China cheered again, and China had two more steel walls on top of eSports, two almost insurmountable mountains. On the Dota game, the Chinese have absolute strength!

The champion LongGame and the third runner-up EHOME were interviewed by Mango Channel after the awards, the two teams looked full of gunpowder on the surface, and LongGame unceremoniously played EHOME to 2:0 when they were grouped in the top four, but in private the relationship between the two teams is still very harmonious, one is a senior in the e-sports industry, the other is a new generation of dark horses, and everyone is still friends outside the field.

However, in the semi-finals, LongGame entered the winning group. EHOME fell into the defeated group, and the TV screen captured the unwilling eyes of the EHOME players and captured the painful expressions of the Chinese audience, and everyone agreed. The two Chinese teams that entered the semi-finals faced off in advance, which was God's arrangement, and God was jealous of talents. Otherwise, judging from the final result, it is not impossible for the Chinese team to win both the championship and the runner-up.

It was in this championship interview. Ye Fan, the captain of the LongGame club, announced a shocking news that WAR3 had ended the day before. He only finished fourth this year, so he decided to retire from the WAR3 program next year and move to the Dota project of the Dragon Esports Club, and will focus on club management and promotion of the Dota project, and will also participate in Dota competitions and work part-time coaching.

At the same time, the famous StarCraft player Ma Tianyuan also left the country, and he promised in front of tens of millions of viewers in front of the TV that if he won the world championship in StarCraft this year, he would retire next year to make room for his teammates, and he would join the Dota project with Ye Fan - when the Dota game ended, StarCraft would be the final winner of the group final the next day.

The next day, the StarCraft competition was also over, Ma Tianyuan really tasted victory for the first time, he lifted the World Championship trophy of the WCG StarCraft project for the first time, he kissed the gold medal on his chest, held the trophy high, years of hard work finally paid off, he received the highest honor, he finally qualified to enter the WCG Hall of Fame, he burst into tears.

The 9th WCG ended on August 20th, and the world's top players returned to their home countries, and the game was over, and players began to look forward to the 10th WCG next year.

The strategic deployment of Dragon Games for the next year has also been determined, the old project is still maintained, Dota will get more resources tilted, and next year WCG will add another shooting game "Halo 2" that switched from the Xbox360 camp to the DC2 camp, and a number of games will be developed in the second half of the year.

As the summer vacation draws to a close, students are returning to school, and Dragon is closing the internal beta of World of Warcraft in August.

Blizzard's programmers worked overtime to modify bugs, they modified some of the setting problems of the game itself, the operation of the server, the transmission efficiency, the fairness of the game, the main program version was re-upgraded, the skill effect of the characters was fixed, the calculation formula, the copy BUG, etc., the new public beta version of the patch is about 129M, which has been put on the official website for download at the end of August, ready for the open beta.

The students who played a summer vacation saw their friends of course with enthusiasm, and the most talked about topic must be the WCG that has just ended, and there are also a group of people who go to the Internet café to apply for a card, many Internet cafes have updated the latest computers during the summer vacation, as we all know, the epic massively multiplayer role-playing game "World of Warcraft" is about to debut, 128M graphics card, 512 memory and Loongson 2.0GHz CPU must be standard.

"I'll tell you, I made a name for myself in the first area of the internal test with a few small hairs, and the feared tribal sneaking three musketeers are us, and those level 30 players in the alliance teamed up to kill us, and almost turned over the hills and blades of Hillsbrad, looking for us all over the mountains, and finally we found the right time to kill a few!"

Zhang Ziqiang began to brag in front of several male classmates again, and everyone showed envious expressions, worshiping this great power who could get an internal test account, and I heard that this great ability could also become a combination that everyone feared in the first area of the internal test, and they were even more envious and only shouted gods.

His eloquence was very good, and he told Qiu Ze and their classic battle in a thrilling way, causing bursts of envy.

"At 5 p.m. on the 1st, the "World of Warcraft" public test, I specially invite everyone to participate together, we play on the same server, choose the same camp, create our own union, let us engrave the name of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications on the Hall of Fame of Longteng's "World of Warcraft", just like Ma Tianyuan, who has insisted on StarCraft for almost 10 years!"

"Yes! Let's follow Brother Qiang! ”

"Will that Qiu Ze participate? I heard that you guys are still going to update 3C, do you have time to play World of Warcraft? ”

"Qiu Ze will join in, he is my best haircut, his strength is definitely beyond your imagination! 3C, hehe, when the time comes, you see, we have our own arrangements! ”

"That's great, with the master belt, we can play more comfortably!"

Qiu Ze, the other protagonist of the discussion, is from the University of Science and Technology, which is still far away from the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, at this time, Qiu Ze did not hype up his achievements in games during the summer vacation in his class, but quietly listened to the conversation of his classmates, he was full of interest in what others thought of Dota, and the feedback from his classmates may also contribute to his Dota improvement.

The open beta of "World of Warcraft" has begun, and in the official statement of Longteng, the test time given is one month, which is much shorter than the nearly 4 months used in the closed beta.

The shortening of the open beta time is because Yang Yun and the people in Blizzard Studios agreed that World of Warcraft does not need to make structural adjustments, and the internal test effect is unexpectedly good, so the public beta time can be shortened, and the main test focus is on the operation of large servers, the exchange of massive numbers, and the queuing and allocation of interactive server groups.

After the end of the open beta, there will be no deletion, no fees during the open beta, and the character level will be adjusted from level 30 during the internal beta to the upper limit of the public beta at level 45, this preferential policy will make everyone cheer, and the long-awaited Warcraft fans around the world have downloaded the client in advance, registered an account on the Dragon Battle.net account, and called friends to prepare to enter the game.

Chinese gamers have long been accustomed to this rule, and they have experienced waiting in line for games since the days of "Immortal Road" and "Legend".

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon on September 1st, there were already many people skipping classes and waiting in front of the computer, almost all the Internet cafes outside the university were overcrowded, and the players who came a little slower were very annoyed, and more office workers hurried to the Internet café only to see full of people, and everyone was annoyed that they couldn't grab the machine.

At the gate of the Blue Moon Internet City on Yingqing Road at the north back gate of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, there are constantly groups of students entering and exiting, and there are also office workers who drive cars to come to surf the Internet......

The people who went in were all dumbfounded, there were too many of them! (To be continued......)
