Summer of Pirates is the first special plot to open in the game, but there is no official explanation.

This is obviously a very strange thing.

No matter what, the special plot is a new element that appears in the game for the first time, and the official should give you some information, so that players can have a basic understanding of the special plot, so that everyone can play better. At the beginning, the relevant content was not exposed on the official website, which can be understood as the need for the confidentiality of new game elements, but Futu has issued an announcement on the launch of the plot, and the official is still as stable as Mount Tai, what do you want to do?

What everyone doesn't know is that the Odin company is now in a hurry like ants on a hot pot.

S City, Odin Building, Conference Room 1.

An emergency extraordinary session is under way.

"Why did the Summer of Pirates script start early? I need an explanation. ”

The general manager of Odin China had a serious expression, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the directors of the participating departments.

The director of operations said stubbornly: "The start time of the summer of pirates script is three months earlier than the earliest time we expected, and half a year earlier than the latest start time. The level 55 pirates make it very difficult for players to deal with, and most of the territories of the littoral players who have been attacked have suffered heavy losses, and as of now, there are 13 territories and legion stations that have been destroyed by the pirates, and it is difficult to count the serious losses of the troops. ”

"The only thing to be thankful for is that players have organized their own mutual aid to save themselves, and a large number of freelance players have taken the initiative to go to the coastal areas under the lure of pirate suits and ship vouchers. In recent hours, players have been largely able to resist the attacks of the pirates. ”

"But unfortunately, it's only the first phase of the Pirate Summer, and the pirates are relatively weak, so it's not difficult to foresee that when the second and third phases begin, the Littoral Territory and the Garrison will usher in a nightmare! I'm worried that people will pass on their grievances to the company. It is said that some people on the forum claimed that they would use 502 glue to paste our car windows, pierce the tire walls with screwdrivers, and practice calligraphy and drawing on everyone's car body......"

The general manager was shocked: "Is there such a thing? Just kidding! ”

"It's true, there are posts like this on the forum."

In a mournful tone, he said: "In view of the increasing danger of our colleagues being attacked by irrational players, I solemnly suggest that the company's legal department immediately issue an announcement to severely condemn similar violent acts; report the incident to the police; Then guide everyone to play sensibly, don't be extreme, and avoid them harming our car ......"

The legal manager's face turned green, and he said incoherently: "This, this, it's not good to do this......"

The public relations director was righteous and awe-inspiring: "Why is it not appropriate? No rules, no rules! ”

"Alright." The boss of China was speechless to the public relations director, this product is completely unsuitable for public relations affairs, and in this case, he must risk his life to suggest to the chairman that his brother-in-law who is not learned and unskilled be transferred away, even if there is really nowhere to go, he must leave from the position of public relations director, and the security work is more suitable for him.

The general manager tapped his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice: "Each special plot has a series of opening conditions, and all the preset conditions are met before Futu starts the plot." As far as I know, the opening conditions of the plot mission, after repeated deduction and demonstration by the computer model, why did the summer of pirates start so much earlier? Is it a dereliction of duty, or is there something wrong with the computer model? ”

According to the preset conditions, the summer of pirates was advanced by at least three months.

Note that three months is a realistic time.

According to the 8 times the flow of time in the game, even if there is no situation where the historical process is advanced, the earliest time for the summer of pirates script to start should be two years after the game. With so much advance in the story, the impact on the game's balance is obvious.

As we all know, [Three Kingdoms] is completely controlled by the Super Light Brain Floating Slaughter.

Special plots are no exception.

If the relevant conditions are met, the special plot will be opened.

Now the problem is that the Summer of Pirates has started much earlier than the official estimate.

This has a serious consequence: the monster is too strong.

The special plot is supposed to allow players to have fun and profit, but instead the pirates abuse the player to vomit blood, which obviously causes great dissatisfaction among players. Now it's the first stage of the plot, the pirates are not so strong, and when the monsters in the next two stages appear, the player's good days will come to an end.

On top of that, the early start of the Summer of Pirates will also lead to other head-scratching consequences.

For example: equipment faults.

Every piece of equipment in the game is designed by the developer, and according to the results of supercomputer simulation, it is exploded by a specific monster, and what monster drops how many levels of equipment are basically closely related to the player's level. However, due to the uncertain opening time of the special plot, after the special plot is opened, the player's overall level will be automatically matched in order to correct the game data.

If the Summer of Pirates is opened during normal times, the Pirate Outfit will be level 50 equipment.

In fact, the Pirate Set is the official set of level 50 main equipment, which is available for all classes.

However, the plot of Summer of Pirates is greatly advanced, and the system automatically compares and obtains an optimization result, level 40.

A level 55 monster drops level 40 equipment, which is a contradiction in itself.

Players are also immersed in the joy of having the opportunity to explode a new purple suit, waiting for everyone to react......

Level 40 purple equipment is good, but the original level 50 equipment is sold cheaply, and the level 50 main equipment is bound to be blank, and it is not difficult to officially redesign level 50 equipment, but the new equipment involves who drops it, which has an impact on the previously set equipment system.

It is not difficult to solve the problem of equipment fault, but another problem derived from it is really worrying everyone.

The game world setting is a systematic project, and the summer of pirates is advanced, which is likely to affect other plots, and even partially change the main plot of the game.

Case in point: a ship voucher dropped by a pirate.

If the voucher is directly exchanged for a warship, if the plot is opened at a set time, small warships have basically become popular, and it will not have much impact on the player's naval power. Now the plot is opened, so that the originally scarce small warships can be scaled up, which directly changes the strength level of the current player's territorial sailors.

The rapid increase in the strength of the sailor is likely to lead to the early opening of another special plot.

Domino effect.

The origin of everything is because the plot of Pirate Summer unfolds in advance.

Odin's Chinese boss wants to know why this is happening.

The planning department was responsible for the setting of the special plot, and the planning director stood up.

"The plot of the summer of pirates needs to meet 5 preset conditions at the same time to start, these five conditions are: after the battle against Dong Zhuo and before the battle of Guandu, the overall scale of the national player territory water division, the number of drowning water divisions, the highest level of warship manufacturing and the total number of historical talents."

"1. Arrange the plot between the two major battles, roughly control the effective development period of the plot, and if one of the other preset conditions is not met, the summer of pirates plot will not start. As you all know, this preset is the easiest to achieve. ”

"2. The overall scale of water divisions is set by the standard of not less than 500,000 water divisions in each territory of the country. This is not a key condition, considering that many territories may not have the conditions and subjective desire to establish a naval division, we set a relatively conservative goal, and this condition was achieved long before the battle against Dong Zhuo. ”

The planning director was remorseful.

When the conditions were set, I was worried that the vast majority of the 35,000 territories did not rely on the big rivers and seas, and not many people might be willing to build a water division, which made the plot impossible to unfold and wasted everyone's efforts. But the actual situation is different from what my colleagues in the planning department imagined. It doesn't depend on the big rivers and seas, there are always small rivers nearby, and the lords are willing to form sailors to play, and no one can say that they are wrong. Assuming that each territory has 500 sailor troops, only 1,000 territories are needed to form a sailor division, and the preset conditions can be easily achieved.

"3. The number of drowning divisions is not less than 5,000, which seems to be inconspicuous, but it is a key condition. According to the results of the supercomputer model, it is difficult to achieve the number of drowning doctors in a short period of time. But we didn't expect that a certain lord of Youzhou would not die, and often asked the sailor to train in the sea when the ship's level was not up to standard, and finally his sailor encountered a storm...... This was a mistake on the part of the planning department, which did not foresee such extreme players in the game. ”

The "extreme player" in the mouth of the planning director is, of course, the infantry lord.

"4. The highest level of warship manufacturing is that the player force can build the third warship by itself, and it is also the most critical condition for the start of the plot. According to the computer model, even if there is always sufficient funds, it will take three months for the junior dock to climb the technology tree and develop the third small warship, but it will be ......"

The Walker, the third small boat that the pirates drove when they appeared.

It is like a warship, and it is safe on the side. There are many husbands, few soldiers, all choose warriors, and the elite are full of husbands, and they are like flying, and they are not prepared, and they are very used for emergency relief.

The planning director said sadly: "We have repeatedly scrutinized the normal dock, and omitted the special dock!" Actually, we thought about the Wardock that might cause trouble, but at the time, everyone agreed that the Wardock could only be redeemed from the Quetta Shop. In the early stage of the game, the chance of players becoming the guardian of Kuita is very small, even if they become guardians, there are so many good things in the Kuita store, and the battledock was deliberately put into the second batch by us, so it is determined that the battledock will not appear so early, at least not before the battle to defeat Dong Zhuo! In addition, the battleyard also needs to climb technology, which should not affect the plot of Pirate Summer, but I didn't expect it to ......"

"A certain lord unexpectedly opened the Quita early, exchanged it for the Wardock, and also ensured the progress of the Wardock's research. It is precisely because of the unexpected factor that the preset conditions that were originally the most impossible to achieve easily were easily broken! ”

Odin's Chinese boss frowned, touched his chin and said, "The number of historical figures is also satisfied?" ”

"Yes, in view of the difficulty of historical figures, we have expanded the definition of historical figures, in addition to officials, strategists and generals and other civil and military talents, silent heroes, and craftsmen who have left a name in history have been included in the historical figure system. Summer of Pirates is a special plot that started earlier, and considering that the strength of players in the early stage is weak, it is difficult to attract historical talents to work, so we set the total number of people to be 10. ”

Odin, the Chinese boss, did not speak.

In all fairness, he believes that it is more difficult for ten historical talents to serve players at this stage, and the five prerequisites of the planning department are not major mistakes in theory. The reason why the plot of Pirate Spring was opened early seems to be mainly due to the drowning of the strange lord who spared no effort in his own sailor, and another strange lord who unexpectedly got the dock.

It's not that the planning department doesn't work hard, it's really too many strange things among players.

"Have you just reached the 10 historical figures nationwide?" The boss asked.

"It's not."

The planning director's tears were about to fall down in grievance: "In that battledock territory, there are 10 people in a family!" ”

Mr. Odin stood up suddenly: "This can't be! ”

He rarely cared about the trivial matters in the game, and it was the first time he had learned of such a strange thing.

Several department directors have confirmed that the summer of pirates is so early, and today they called everyone to this emergency meeting, and some people have learned some things in advance and know who the planning director is talking about.

Chase the deer collar!

Count the historical figures of the deer leader:

2 strategists: Xu Shu and Xun Yan.

5 generals: Qu Chen, Chen Zhi, Gan Ning, Wang Ping, Ma Yuanyi.

3 skilled talents: Zhang Zhongjing, Meng Yao, Pu Yuan.

"It's too much!"

"How can this be!"

Like an enraged lion, Odin's Chinese boss walked around the conference room.

"Check! See if he's cheating! ”

The technical director said expressionlessly: "We have repeatedly checked in the background, and all the data shows that there is no obvious sign of cheating. The reason why the Deer Territory is far beyond the ordinary territory is because the Deer Territory is the first to complete the hidden territory task, and there are two right-hand men by his side at the beginning, and the territory is getting stronger and stronger through snowballing development. But ......"

"But what?"

"I initially suspected that the Lord of the Deer Chase was so eye-catching, or that it had something to do with the company's staff, and that he had some inside information. After digging into the lord's recent game data, it was found that his understanding of the game was not perfect, and there were obvious deviations in some places, and we roughly ruled out the possibility of insider cheating. ”

"Throughout the trajectory of the Champions, the player has made the right choices at almost every juncture, and if he wasn't lucky, the accuracy of his judgment and sensitivity to crisis and opportunity is breathtaking. Of course, given that there is a super talent like Xu Shu in the Zhulu Lord, it may not all be the credit of the Zhulu Lord. ”

The meeting room fell silent.

The technical director is a technical nerd, unsmiling and unapproachable, but he has nothing to say about his ability, and he judges that there are no obvious signs of cheating, and anyone who disagrees is likely to be seen as doubting his professionalism.

The boss returned to his seat: "I know, let's talk about how to deal with the aftermath." ”

The conference room quickly became lively, and everyone offered their opinions.

"Activate the emergency intervention mechanism!"

"Level 50 series equipment needs to be reset."

"The strength of the pirates in the second and third waves of the plot must be weakened!"

"The first wave has to be weakened, the pirates are adjusted to level 50, and the radical players are threatening to get our cars!"

The PR director said angrily: "We can't bow to the evil forces, at most we won't drive recently." ”

No one heeded his advice.

End of meeting.

(Last month, he boasted about Haikou and resolutely completed all the arrears, but ......

Everyone is very kind, and it shouldn't force this cat to do anything, but you definitely won't, right?

A handful of guys waiting to see the jokes, thinking it's rare to live this cat? I trimmed my nails at the end of the month......

Well, let's talk about what's going on.

In recent months, he has been in a constant and prolonged state of writing constipation. Many times I sat in front of the computer from noon, and I didn't rush out 4,000 words until the early hours of the morning.

Can't write it.

I want to pay back those omissions, a total of 15 chapters, but I just can't write it.

It's not Kavin, it's not that I don't know how to write it.

I guess it's because there's a lack of passion for repeating yourself.

The same theme, outdated world view, the same background of the Three Kingdoms, change the soup but not the medicine......

When I wrote SimCity, I was often moved by the people and things in the book, Li Jin's Xiongnu grassland struggle, Liu Yu's sacrifice, Wang Yue's selfless dedication to brotherhood, Chen Gong's integrity and selflessness, Pang Tong's eccentricity, Lu Han's heaviness and calmness, and Di Yun's high-spirited progress, all of which can move me a lot.

But open this book, not at all.

There is no emotion, and there is no soul.

How can words that even the author himself cannot move you?

It's been a tough few months.

Some old book friends should know that the cat didn't plan to write about the Three Kingdoms at first, and was going to write a Warring States background as a transition back to the starting point, but everyone was not familiar with the Warring States period enough, and the editor in charge suggested that the cat also write the Three Kingdoms. The editor was right, the SimCity worldview was decent at the time, and it was hard for me to tear it down and rebuild a completely new worldview, but it was clear that the worldview was outdated now.

The book starts with a transition.

There is little innovation, and the results of the book have not been good, as expected.

After being away for too long, I need to come back to this circle and perceive this circle, which is very competitive, and I want to return with the most familiar construction stream. But in fact, I would rather write something else, and there are two new books that have already been outlined and set up, waiting for me to finish.

I should have opened a new pit long ago, but I always wanted to show you a more complete story. I was entangled all the way, and it was very painful for me to write, and everyone was not happy to read it.

The entanglement of the past few months has made me deeply understand: writing is absolutely not possible.

Instead of being cocooned, it is better to open a new book and write a story that interests you.

You don't have to worry about not seeing the ending of this book, and you don't have to worry about a hasty ending.

Another: There will be no additions to this book in the future.

Remember the 11 chapters you owe first, pay it back slowly, and if the new book is reviewed, you can transfer it to the new book.

Above.

Thank you. ）
