The underground world where the Warlock players of the "Dark Harvest Council" are hiding has space constraints after all, so the layout of various facilities is still based on the theme of compactness and efficiency.

For example, the area where you use the Glory Star Battle.net to fight is similar to the Internet café on the market, with more than a dozen rows of computers neatly placed on the platform, and warlock players who need it can use it by finding an empty machine.

Su Ming quietly found the computer that was unused around the platform at the edge of the platform, and curiously turned on the computer to look at the "Hearthstone" in this small world that belonged to warlocks.

In fact, whether there are warlock players in the Glory Star World has always been one of the questions that have plagued Su Ming.

If we use the counter-proof method, assuming that there is a group of professional Warlock players, then there is a difficult question to explain: why can't they be seen in the usual Battle.net ladder matchmaking?

The matching functions of Hearthstone Battle.net are all controlled by Glory Star, the process is purely random, and there is no possibility of any artificial circumvention, even if there are few people in the Warlock profession, as long as they want to get the ladder ranking, they must match, in other words, it will inevitably be exposed!

But not to mention that Su Ming came to the Glory Star World to conduct hundreds of ladder battles and never bumped into a warlock, in the usual communication at various news channels, forums, Weibo and other social levels, this "taboo" profession is also the same as stealth, and there is no news.

It wasn't until Su Ming used his account to log in to Hearthstone Battle.net again at this moment, and these things that made him puzzled because of the lack of information before could be regarded as having the corresponding answers.

"I see, this is the secret of the warlock profession!"

……

The world on the ground,Where the sun's rays shine,Hearthstone Battle.net that regular players usually use,After the version update, the painting style has become very sci-fi,Light black background with metallic strokes,Virtual projection and a variety of black technology special effects ladder、Card store、Leaderboard and other functions。

And the "underground world" where Su Ming is now located, a place that belongs to the professional cultivators of warlocks, the Hearthstone Battle Network they use presents a different style of painting:

In the background, portals with green sinister fires, all sorts of powerful or very powerful demon lords, pools of sacrifice, and places where the shadows of blood converge.

If an uninformed person sees this scene at first glance, he is afraid that he will be frightened into the end of the world, and the demon army will soon destroy the rhythm of the universe.

Of course, at the top of the Hearthstone Battlenet, which is common in this underworld, the mysterious purple font outlines the name of this particular application.

"Hearthstone (Battle.net · PTR version)! ”

The moment he saw the three words PTR, Su Ming immediately understood the real reason why ordinary players in the Glory Star World never met Warlock players when they matched.

These Warlock professional cultivators in the underworld, the Hearthstone they usually use, belong to an independent "small server", and they will not communicate with the official server data that the public has logged in!

Curiously logged into the PTR battle network loaded on the computer here, and saw the various single cards in the card collection, Su Ming suddenly knew in his heart.

As expected, this particular version of PTR isn't actually meant for SS players, but has other roles and purposes.

In the PTR version of Hearthstone, Su Ming found that the three cards of [Happy Inventor], [Avina] and [Mana Floating Dragon] have all undergone slight changes:

[Happy Inventor], increased from 5 to 7;

[Avina], increased from 9 to 10;

Mana Floating Dragon, increased from 1 to 2.

That's right, the purpose of this special version of Hearthstone is simple, it belongs to the "early beta"!

Su Ming remembered that in the past, when Glory Star's Hearthstone Battle.net released balance changes, he would emphasize that "the above changes will be implemented in a month", and at that time he was still puzzled why he couldn't update it immediately, but now it seems that the answer is very clear.

During this one-month buffer period, the relevant changes were actually put into the PTR version, which was tested on this small Hearthstone server.

……

For example, the changes that Su Ming has discovered now that have not yet been announced on the normal server on the ground: the weakening of the three cards of [Happy Inventor], [Avina] and [Mana Floating Dragon], in fact, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it still has a lot to do with him.

In the "Changing Virtues" routine, the core KEY card is [Avina], and with [Forgotten King Kuhn] to complete the "All Creatures in Your Hand Become 1 Fee" routine in 10 rounds, you can do almost whatever you want to make a variety of combos that rely on the cooperation of multiple followers.

Su Ming himself knows very well that the "change of virtue" he is making now is actually only the weakest of the [Avina] routines, and the "Blue Dragon, 777, and Spreading Train King" that are destroying the world have not yet appeared.

So, in the changes that Glory Star has not yet announced, it directly gave AV Na a hard stab, 9 fees to 10 fees, not only makes the routine start need to rely on the support of [Activation] or [Lucky Coins], but also [Sweet Spiritual Power Melon] can no longer be directed to retrieve the core KEY card.

……

As for the weakening of the [Mana Floating Dragon], it is obviously aimed at the "Mystic Law" deck that Su Ming gave to Wu Tianming, which changed from 1 fee to 2 fees, almost directly sentenced this elemental dragon that had the opportunity to cultivate into a mana floating dragon to death, and its practical value was greatly reduced.

The first 1 fee station [Mana Floating Dragon], the high-quality attribute of 3 HP is an extremely headache for many professional decks, after all, when the early cost is in short supply, it is really not easy to come up with 3 points of direct damage.

As for the floating dragon that has been weakened into 2 mana, don't look at it as just a round late, with two or three crystals on the opposite side, the actual buffer range has increased by more than a star and a half.

……

After paying a moment of silence to these cards that were about to be announced to weaken the balance in the official Hearthstone server of Glory Star, Su Ming did not forget the purpose of his coming here, and immediately got busy in the card collection interface of his account.

For some reason, the personal account data of the PTR server seems to be the same as the official server, anyway, the cards that Su Ming obtained by opening the card pack in the system space can still be found here, just enough for him to form a very "people-friendly" card deck.

Looking at the "discard technique" players who were fighting in the PTR suit around him, Su Ming still couldn't help but feel the corners of his mouth twitch slightly, after all, from his point of view, discard technique is really a very weak deck.

Since this time is to avoid the limelight in the underground warlock world, according to Su Ming's style and habits, it is natural to let these players feel the fear of being dominated by powerful warlock decks!
