This timing is not entirely unexpected.

The employees of W are still more diligent to a certain extent, and they did update the games on the server at midnight, but this zero point refers to the EST time where the new headquarters of W is located.

W Club Resort in Florida — the nickname for W Society's newly relocated headquarters — is in daylight saving time, and it's exactly midnight, but it's not the same as the time zone in East 8? For the city and even the entire Celestial Empire, the time of their renewal was exactly twelve o'clock at noon.

What's it like to go out for a meal and come back to find out that you don't know how to play games anymore?

Thanks to the unified mapping of the Internet café's Internet speed and server, you only need to make an article in the server to update the game of all machines in the entire Internet café. But this time the weight of the major version update is really a bit too much, Rao is directly connected to the gateway, theoretically the fastest place in the Internet café network management machine also downloaded half an hour to complete the update.

"Dota 6 is here!" The moment after the version update package was downloaded and installed, the webmaster announced the matter loudly to all the waiting players in the booth hall, and of course, he was also glared at by the boss because of some uncivilized behavior.

But no one said anything, although such a roar is a bit harsh in this Internet café with a really good environment, but the message of the roar is very critical.

All the players who were waiting for the update invariably put down the game or movie they were watching, and restarted the machine, and they couldn't wait to try it out for themselves after a glimpse of the great update in the changelog.

The new season of Dota 2's new 17.23 version "Out-of-Worlds" has begun.

"So what do you think about this wave of updates?" After hastily solving the noon chewing grain, Lu Xinlei and her teammates had already returned to the box prepared for the team, "What the hell did W do it, so much update content has not been revealed from the sealed beta server. ”

"I think they may not have done any closed testing at all," Bai Wangyuan pursed his lips, and immediately after they assembled, they teamed up to start a man-machine competition, and the huge contrast in the game made him feel a trace of depression due to "unable to control the scene" in the novelty, "There are some systems that feel completely cool and released like this." ”

"I'm okay, I've changed two wild spots in the middle lane, and Radiant should take advantage of it." Lu Xinlei probably browsed the new map and said that it was okay, "The terrain of the wild area has changed a lot, and a pair of bounty charms have been brushed in the river, so I may hit it in the early stage." ”

"The outpost is now in the main field area of both sides, and if you occupy the outpost, you will jump every ten minutes to experience the whole team, and the first two jumps, that is, more than 9 minutes and 50 seconds and more than 19 minutes and 50 seconds, should be fought around here." Tian Ruize used the mouse command to circle the positions of the two outposts on the minimap, "Now the breakage of a tower in the advantage lane may lead to the loss of the outpost, and if we don't have this experience in ten minutes, our soy sauce may not reach six, and the pressure on the advantage lane is even greater." ”

"Isn't there a lot of pressure on the disadvantaged road?" Yang Zishuo patted the mouse, "Without the Holy Altar, if the inferior Luyi Tower is broken, the No. 3 position is really not mixed." ”

"Anyway, there are still dropped equipment, at least it won't be too bad."

"You have the other party to drop the equipment, not to mention that if the first wave drops a few garbage in five minutes, and a few good equipment are played on the opposite side, it won't be a collapse and a collapse......"

This version is indeed worthy of being called a "big version" or even Dota 6, and the addition of these elements can make another skin moba game directly:

The first is a major change to the map, especially the jungle map, and Dota's jungle map has a lot of destructible tree elements, which means that the core hero will have to re-plan the jungle route.

Map elements and strategic points have also been drastically changed, with the addition of a pair of outpost towers in both sides' main jungles, which can continuously provide vision around the area, and periodically provide experience to the whole team, which can be used as a teleportation target for the Return to City Scroll, but can be easily captured by the opponent if left undefended.

Three of the hero's basic stats have also been slashed: agility no longer provides movement speed, strength no longer provides magic resistance, and intelligence no longer provides spell strength. This is an equal one-shot nerf for all heroes.

Beyond these points, the biggest changes are:

"I'm stressed!" Xiao Chuang shouted, "Give me that knight's sword!" ”

Dota players can now wear equipment in the game.

In this version, mobs have a chance to drop neutral gear when killed, and these pieces of equipment are divided into five tiers based on strength and time of appearance in the game, with a team only being able to play four pieces of equipment in the equipment list in each slot, and the heroes in the game are given an additional gear slot to carry these dropped neutral gear.

Level 1 equipment can provide very critical attributes for support, and it is also a qualified early equipment for core heroes; The second-level equipment begins to have its own unique functions, which can become auxiliary or early core long-term carrying functional equipment; The best of the third-level equipment basically has the ability to allow the eldest brother to replace an equipment grid; Level 4 equipment basically has attributes and effects comparable to those of late-stage large pieces.

As for the level 5 equipment that will appear after 70 minutes, except for a disgraceful trident, the comprehensive attributes of each piece are stronger than all the purchasable equipment in the game, and once these equipment appear, it means that the game has officially entered the stage of fairy fighting.

Of course, every drop of neutral equipment creates a battle of wits among teams that are not very united.

With such a huge change to the gameplay experience, the two new heroes who have been added to the game are a little overshadowed by each other.

"I'm starting to lose understanding the game."

They are not the only ones who will feel this way, the vast majority of Dota 2 players around the world who have not received any news about the new version have similar feelings -

But it's not bad.

The brand-new, completely unfamiliar system and the huge freshness brought by the gameplay made them invariably put down the uncritical things in their hands and clicked on Dota2, a game that has quite a history, this game has entered the peak of the life cycle and is doing things at a high intensity at an annual frequency, and the hero talent system launched after Ti6 has completely rewritten the strength and restraint list of Dota heroes, and in the update after Ti7 ended, W Society redid a whole map and defense tower operation mechanism.

And now, a month after Ti8, W Club has once again pushed this game into uncharted territory.

"Tian She, this exhibition match can't be played yet." At the emergency meeting between the two teams, the captain of the school team cautiously asked, "I don't think it's very good-looking, what do you think?" ”

"Isn't it pretty?" With the buffer of man and machine just now, Yang Zishuo, who had already figured out the whole thing, disagreed, "Anyway, it's an exhibition game, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's just a game that makes the owner of the Internet café feel that the sponsorship is worth the money." ”

"That's right, and it's not very bad-looking, no one will play this version, and only when it is played is dramatic." One of the players on the varsity team nodded.

"Let me ask, I think they'd like us to fight."

After Tian Ruize said this, he stood up and walked to the place where the lounge and the hall were connected. The audience of the Big Major was chartered, and he wasn't worried about disturbing anyone:

"Brothers, now there is a question, do you want to see us and the school team play an exhibition game in the new version of the ship?"

The answer obtained is also yes.

"Look."

"Why don't you watch it."

"Let's learn how to fight the new version, I'm going to be fooled by these teammates."

"Actually, we don't know how to fight." Tian Ruize scratched his head, "But since it was said that there should be an exhibition match, there must be...... Or push it back for an hour.,The big guy opened the game and finished playing.,If you haven't opened the game, you can take a look at the version changelog again.,We'll start playing again at half past two.。 ”

This is a good time for them to get acquainted with the new version of the current game, and there is also a buffer time for these players - most of them still have a game of Dota on hand.

Those who would oppose had already left the Internet café before he spoke, so there was no objection, and the owner of the Internet café sitting in the corner also nodded with a smile.

Such a good business doesn't happen every day.
