Chapter 1093 - "Dark Under the Light" Truant Weapon
As for this official method of skipping class, how should it be escaped?
You'll have to think about it.
Previously, Pei Qian got himself an official truant weapon "Pudu", and only played the six reincarnation endings for a week, and he tried his best to hide it.
But I never expected that it was so deeply hidden, and it had to die seven times in the hands of a weak chicken monster to trigger, and it was still found by the players.
I can only say that I underestimated the boredom of the players!
The number of players in "Turning Back is the Shore" itself is large, and these players especially like to delve into the content of the game, so it is not safe to hide it deeply, as long as this item exists in the game, there is a possibility that players will find it.
And when it comes to "Eternal Reincarnation", the situation is even less optimistic.
After two years of accumulation, the player base of "Back to the Shore" has far exceeded that of the game when it was first released, and most of them are veteran players who have turned the game upside down.
After the DLC comes out, these old players will definitely continue to look for this new official plug-in like looking for "Purdue".
Just like "Dark", the cow level was made before, and with each subsequent sequel, players will go to great lengths to find the cow level. Even if they tell the players that there is no Cow Level, they won't believe it and will continue to have fun looking for it.
Therefore, the method of Tibetan Pudu will definitely not work, and it has to be done differently.
Moreover, Pei Qian felt that with the current changes in the game's combat mechanism, just hiding a powerful weapon would not be able to save him.
Because the previous combat system was relatively single, after dodging the mob attack, touch it, as long as you don't be greedy for knives, and understand the enemy's attack pattern, you can basically pass the level.
Purdue's weapon has a long attack range and fast movements, so it can easily kill most enemies in this battle mode.
But now the situation is different, you have to pay attention to your breath value, and it's useless to just dodge, you can't beat the boss's blood at all, you have to try your best to disrupt the boss's breath and play the execution action.
If you grind the blood little by little, with the current BOSS's blood volume, you have to fight until the Year of the Monkey, and it's easy to overturn halfway.
But want to hit the perfect parry many times in a row?
Pei Qian was very self-aware, and he felt that he would definitely not be able to do it.
In this case, what about giving a Purdue?
After all, there is a limit to the opening of official weapons, which can be supermodeled, but not too many supermodels. It is impossible to operate the boss in one knife and a second, and the system can't pass that level.
In other words, two conditions must be met for the new method of skipping classes.
The first is that the Tibetan method is different from Pudu, and it has to hide new ideas and try to make players unable to find them.
The second is to start with the game mechanics, the damage is not necessarily supermodel, but it must be able to help Pei Qian, a handicapped handicap, successfully defeat the boss under the new combat mechanism.
After having a specific direction, it was much easier to do, and Pei Qian quickly thought of a good solution.
"The difficulty of the game really needs to be adjusted."
"Since the setting of breath value has been introduced, it is no longer possible to use the original method to fight the boss. If the boss's breath value is full, and his physical strength is also full, but it is slowly grinded to death by the player, it is too unreasonable. ”
"So we should set it to: when the boss's breath value and stamina value are in a good state, even if the player hits the boss, the blood will not be lost much."
"And when the boss is at its peak, the player's attack is more likely to be parried by the boss. Specifically, whether it is a perfect parry, an ordinary parry or a mistake, how much HP and breath value are dropped, we use the artificial intelligence system to make a random, so that the player's combat experience has subtle differences every time. ”
Hu Xianbin: "Uh......"
He was a little short of words for a while.
Before, he asked if the difficulty should be adjusted, but in fact, he was asking if the difficulty should be lowered.
Because this combat system is obviously more complex and challenging than the previous combat system, if it is still the same difficulty as before, I am afraid it will be more difficult to clear the level.
As a result, Mr. Pei increased the difficulty!
According to Mr. Pei's design, players even completely lost the option of slowly grinding the boss to death, and could only go up to fight hard, and if they win, they could quickly kill the boss, and if they lost, they would be killed by the boss.
In this way, it is easy to eat, and every battle should not drag into a bladder game, but the vast majority of players should be the ones who are killed by the boss......
What will be the result?
I'm afraid that as soon as the DLC is released, it will be directly mourned all over the wilderness, and old players will have to be abused and cry.
Because this group of veteran players is very accustomed to the combat mode of the "Back to the Shore" body, when encountering a boss, they first observe the action and fight steadily, as long as they are not greedy for knives and try a few more times, they can pass steadily.
When they get to "Eternal Reincarnation", they will find that the more they observe the boss fighting, the more their breath value becomes more and more disordered, and the boss's breath value becomes more and more smooth......
Fighting, he was executed by the boss.
Although the players who know "Turn Back to the Shore" like to suffer, this is inevitably too miserable, I don't know if they can withstand it.
Li Yada, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly said, "That's ...... Mr. Pei, is there a weapon similar to 'Pudu' in the game? ”
"The tradition of mercy cannot be discarded."
"Turning Back to the Shore" was developed by Li Yada when she was the main planner, so her understanding of this game is much deeper than Hu Xianbin's.
"Purdue" not only gives players a way to skip class, but also an important part of the game's setting, which can be said to have become a tradition of the game "Back to the Shore".
With such a big change in the DLC, it's time for a new truant weapon, right?
Hu Xianbin's eyes lit up.
That's right, and "Purdue"!
Mr. Pei is very merciful to the players, and he arranged "Purdue" before because he was afraid that the disabled players would be abused too much and would not be able to clear the level, so he deliberately hid in the game and waited for the players to find out.
Now that the difficulty has increased even more, I must continue to have mercy, right?
Pei Qian said in his heart.
Pity the players?
Why do I pity the player?
I have mercy on myself, okay?
Without a truant weapon, can I beat this broken game?
But after thinking about it, everyone thinks it's not bad to pity the player, "Mr. Pei made a weapon to skip class in order to skip class for himself", this kind of thing is really not very emotional to say, and it will damage his glorious image.
Pei Qian coughed lightly twice and said, "This time we won't be using a weapon like Pudu." ”
"The protagonist of the original work of "Turning Back to the Shore" is set to be an ordinary person, and it makes sense to skip class with Pudu. But the protagonist of "Eternal Reincarnation" is a martial god, and it is reasonable to skip class with this weapon? ”
"Of course, the Martial God should take any weapon and slash everything."
Everyone looked at each other.
Hu Xianbin said: "Mr. Pei, you are right, if it is true according to the plot setting, but not all players are martial gods......"
Pei Qian smiled: "I know, don't worry." ”
"If you don't make a weapon like Purdue, there are other ways to do it."
"I see that in the plot setting, the protagonist of the martial god used up the wealth and treasures he had collected in his life in his old age, and let the skilled craftsman create a magic sword that can kill the soul, and let it be stained with the blood of a high-ranking monk."
"After that, the protagonist asks the witch Gu to create a pill that can make him enter the dying world, floating in the yin and yang worlds, and use the magic sword to kill the black and white impermanence, and go all the way to the infernal hell."
"According to the setting of the original work, the power of the magic sword is limited, and the more souls you kill, the more your power will gradually weaken."
"At the same time, in order to highlight the identity of the protagonist Valkyrie, we also encourage players to use a variety of weapons to match, and different main and off-hand weapons can have different combat skill effects and attack actions."
"So the final design became, the magic sword is equivalent to a special item for slashing, and players usually use a variety of other weapons to fight, and when the slashing action is triggered, then use the magic sword to kill."
"And as the plot moves backwards, the power of the magic sword will continue to weaken."
Everyone nodded their heads, which was the consensus of the designers in the development team.
If you only use the magic sword, the gameplay and flow of the whole game are too simple. Therefore, it is set to "fight monsters with ordinary weapons and kill with magic swords", which can not only encourage players to use a variety of weapons, but also restore the plot to the greatest extent.
At this time, Yu Fei, the original author of "Eternal Reincarnation", said: "Mr. Pei, in fact, I also came up with the setting that the magic sword becomes weaker and weaker the more I use it, and I just think that this setting helps highlight the tragic effect of the whole story." ”
Moreover, the magic sword weakened, so the protagonist's mind became clear, realized that he had made a big mistake, and eventually became the first prisoner. This makes more sense. ”
"But the plot is definitely in the service of the gameplay."
"If necessary, it's okay to change to a magic sword to get stronger the more you use it......"
Pei Qian raised his hand: "No!" Now this setting is perfect and can't be changed! ”
"I just think we can build on that and make some spin-offs."
"According to the current design, the magic sword has completely become a plot prop and cannot be held in your hand."
"But I think I can make it into a tool to hold in my hand and fight."
"It's just that its initial damage, attack range and other attributes are weaker than other equipment."
"Not only that, as the plot progresses, the protagonist kills more and more bosses, and the attributes of the magic sword will get lower and weaker."
"When you get to the later stage, it may not hurt to cut people very much."
"However, add a special effect to the magic sword."
"When the player only wields the magic sword and does not dual-wield any other weapon, each time they die, the enchantment effect will be increased by a little."
"And the effect of enchantment accumulated to a certain extent is that the protagonist will automatically make parry actions under the control of the artificial intelligence system."
"The deeper you get into the enchantment, the more often you automatically parry."
"Of course, the damage value of the magic sword is still very low, but through frequent automatic parrying and dismantling, even if the damage value is very low, it can still disrupt the opponent's breath value and achieve the killing conditions."
"At different stages of the game, there is a limit to what you can do."
"At the beginning, when the magic sword was very powerful, even if it died many times, the effect of entering the demon would not be obvious, it would just turn some ordinary parries of the player into perfect parries, and it was almost imperceptible."
"As the plot progresses, after the power of the magic sword is weakened, you have to continue to die in order to continue to improve the effect of entering the demon."
"Wait until the late stages of the game, and die enough times to achieve the effect of fully automatic parrying."
"But in this way, the player will not be able to play the original ending, but will play an ending of 'eternal reincarnation', and the protagonist will eventually become a hellish ghost, completely lose himself, and the whole world will become a purgatory on earth."
"Only if the player's magic value is not high and he can beat the game with his own strength, can he enter the normal ending of the Prison Suppressor."
