In general, Lu Xinlei is still relatively lucky. If she can cross this hurdle of herself, it is not difficult to find a clue to solve the problems in front of her one by one.

The most important thing is that today suddenly an old man who has lived for more than thirty years has helped her make these decisions, otherwise with her original awkward personality, she doesn't know how to deal with these problems that can be solved by Zhou Huan at once.

If it were purely from her own point of view, it might be a blessing in disguise? Lu Xinlei stared at the interface hanging in the download and couldn't help but be a little distracted.

Even if it is represented by Qixun in this world line, Dota in China is not fundamentally dissociated from the well-known game platform Sbeam produced by W Society, and the national server Dota can be connected with the national server login, or you can search and download it on the Sbeam platform, which is not much different from the original world line at this point.

In the girl's memory, the half who was familiar with Dota was more accustomed to playing games on the W platform, so the interface she was staring at now came from the Sbeam download tool. While waiting for the download, Lu Xinlei has already browsed all the heroes, the attributes and update logs of most of the equipment, as well as the current situation and development history of the professional league in the database of the official website and some forums that she was once familiar with.

While the information obtained from the current database may soon be outdated, the girl's brain, which is fully fed, reveals an unusual, overlapping processing ability that she herself is a little unaccustomed to, and this information that might have taken the old boy a whole day to digest is barely two hours before the eyes of this stubborn girl.

In any case, it is still a bit strange to use a mobile phone and a computer to open two different web pages at the same time, and judging from the operation of the girl's familiar driving, she is quite familiar with this way of reading.

In general, based on the initial version 6.78 of Dota after independence, to the end of August 2018, the version of Dota in this world line is probably the end of version 7.22 that Lu Xinlei once was familiar with, and according to some information revealed in the forum discussion, in September after the end of the Ti World Invitational every year, Dota will usher in a huge version change.

At this point, the world-online Icefrog — the lead producer of the Dota game — is not much different from the original world, and the most freelance designer on the planet doesn't use anything like a test suit to reveal his ideas in advance, so the version change every September is a huge, rigorous test of understanding for all Dota players.

It's no wonder that many people joke that Dota has been launching new series every year since Ti4, and by the end of The World Invitational 2018, they are already waiting for Dota 6 to come out.

The big major, that is, the intramural competition held by the Youyan Club, should be held after the version is updated, using the latest version.

It's hard to say that this is not an opportunity for Lu Xinlei, in her impression, The version number of the major version update after the end of the 2018 World Invitational is 7.20, which means that in this world line, Dota is 3 major versions faster than the same game in the original world, almost a year's worth of content, and the actual experience brought by these subtle differences may be reflected in the operation There may be huge deviations, and fortunately, in the next tournament she is expected to participate in, due to the updated major version, everyone should be back on the same running line.

As mentioned earlier, the Dota project team led by producer Bing Frog in W doesn't like to test servers, experience ahead, or update previews, and their most common method is to make large-scale updates without warning, like cramming the new version of the content to all gamers, including professional players.

In a world where such updates were criticized from time to time due to their considerable impact on the professional game, in this world, Ice Frog seems to have reached a certain level of agreement with the global professional leagues to place this update in the off-season after the major cup competitions in August and February. This model is much more humane than the original casual update.

This kind of dry thought lasted for about ten minutes before it ended with the prompt that the game was downloaded, and the girl smacked her mouth, feeling a little dry in her throat for no reason.

It's like I'm about to face my ex-girlfriend who has been separated for five minutes.

The account does not need to be specially registered, and the Sbeam platform, which has been represented by Qixun in China, can directly log in with Qixun's social account, and Lu Xinlei will also use this level of social platform, so she has not encountered any technical difficulties.

The real difficulty comes after she enters the game screen:

"Do you want to continue to use the Qixun nickname as the game ID?"

Dota allows multiple players to use the same nickname ID, or this is one of the features of the Sbeam platform, and it is relatively easy to change the ID on this platform, so the problem of choosing a name should not be called a difficulty.

But the girl did pause here, her input cursor had deleted the original nickname, and her fingers couldn't help but habitually want to type the original ID:

Bur……

There was a slight collision of consciousness in the girl's brain, which was still irreconcilable, and then the older part realized her gaffe.

Although this ID may not be used by anyone due to her absence, from the perspective of Lu Xinlei herself, it is too cruel to simply let her inherit everything from him - I want to think so, but the girl named Lu Xinlei stared at the three letters that had been typed in the input box on the screen and couldn't delete it.

That was pretty much all of the man's dreams.

She took a deep breath, then spelled out the entire word with her fingers on the keyboard:

Burberry。

This is probably the final result of the coordination between the two parties.

————————————————

In the girl's mind, Dota is actually not a very good game for beginners.

If the man really had to rate it on a 10 out of 10 scale, he would have given the game itself a high score of 9.2 or even 9.5, but he would probably only give it a score of less than 2 on the "Would you recommend it to other players?" section.

If other players don't like the ascetic self-cultivation, the score will drop to around 0.

The project team of W Club is very lazy to guide the production of this game for novices, and only scribbly explained the basic operation and game content of this game, but did not mention the important and rich game system mechanics behind Dota, and these mechanisms often play a key role in the actual game game. This kind of prevarication novice guidance of W Club is equivalent to teaching the new driver only which side is the accelerator and which side is the brake, and then throwing him on the road to figure out how to drive on his own.

And the other guys on the road generally don't like to listen.

This has become one of the many reasons for the slow decline of the original online Dota game, the high entry threshold and too unfriendly novice game experience will dissuade many gamers who may have potential, and the lack of fresh blood will make later novices even more unable to get the right game experience.

In other words, there are no newbies at all in Dota's Starter Village, and all the flags you plant are old birds in their starter suits.

Will anything change in this world? Lu Xinlei herself didn't know that on the computer screen in front of her, the simple and intriguing red square logo representing Dota was flickering uncertainly.

The novice guide begins, and the hero who appears in the center of the screen rides a night black beast, staring blankly ahead.

Luna, the Moon Knight, is a rookie guide hero, which is consistent with her memory. This is a more versatile hero according to the choice of equipment and talents, which can be used as the core of the scepter to take the mage output route, or you can rely on your passive skills to choose physical output equipment, and even due to the strength of the cast range talent and aura skills, it can also be used as a propulsion support.

The former man is a player in the top core position, and of course there will be no shortage of this hero in the hero pool, who plays money quickly and advances quickly, and has an obvious strong period. And in the new world, this once familiar hero has once again answered her call, urging his mount to run to the battlefield.

The first stage of the beginner tutorial can be said to be just a simple introduction to the operation of 1+1=2, and the second stage only tells the player the importance of skills and equipment, and the difference appears after the third stage, the 5v5 official battle with the low-level AI.

The final stage of novice guidance that should have been solved in one game was forcibly expanded to three rounds, in which the content of the guidance is getting deeper and deeper, the first game of the system arranges the information only to help players understand and use the mechanism of the line and defense towers, and the second game of the guidance goes deep into the wild terrain, vision and the use and control of map elements such as wild monsters, and a lot of game content that can only rely on the player's oral experience to learn has been directly integrated into the official novice tutorial.

I have to say that at this point, the impact of China Enterprise News on W Society in this world line is indeed very positive.

Although it is not clear whether these changes in the novice guidance were requested by the enterprise agent later, there are no other factors that may have such an impact in Lu Xinlei's impression.

The second game of the beginner's guide uses the method of increasing experience and gold income to speed up the game, so it ends fairly quickly, and the Moon Knight of the girl is ready to join the jungle during the lane match. Two of Luna's three basic skills are passive skills, the second skill Moon Blade can cause her attacks to catapult at other enemy units around her and cause damage, and the third skill can increase the attack power of all surrounding units.

Except for Roshan, a boss-level neutral creature, each jungle in Dota is refreshed every minute, that is, if you can efficiently deal with the monsters in the jungle, the benefits of drilling into the jungle are much greater than 8 minions per minute online.

These two skills of the Moon Knight also support this, and the rapid mode of greatly increasing economic income also makes the speed of development faster, so 20 minutes ago, she was already wearing her graduation equipment, carrying the Moon Blade all the way from the high ground in the middle of the guard to the front of the Scourge base, and then burst the Frozen Throne without a fight, winning the rookie guide.

"Beautiful, Lei Lei," the voice from Wu Leyi's eldest sister sounded behind the girl, and at the same time, her hand came to the girl's ear - she pinched Lu Xinlei's ear and twisted it gently, "Why did you suddenly remember to play a game?" ”

"Also, nothing." The sudden strange feeling made the girl a little uncomfortable, and she shook her head slightly, "I just want to play, for no other reason." ”

"Don't they all like to play this?" seemed to feel that the argument was not sufficient, Lu Xinlei added a sentence with a little weakness, but after the exit, she regretted it a little because she might want to cover it up.

"Hmm-" The girl behind her dragged a long note, her expression subtly changed a few times in the blind corner that Lu Xinlei couldn't see, and then took a step behind Lu Xinlei, who had already clicked on the next game of novice guidance, and took out her mobile phone:

"Big deal, big deal. Sisters, our Leilei seems to be in love. ”

She opened a small group of four people in the letter, quietly typed out this sentence and sent it out.

Then, she copied the sentence, opened another small group of four, and sent the same out.
