November 22, 0:00.

Nearly seventy-two hours after the sudden shutdown, an announcement appeared on the official website of Dream Company.

It reads as follows:

[Dear players, as you can see, in the S2 finals of the pinnacle that ended in the early morning of November 19, the plot of the V1.10 version of "Derivative Invasion" has come to an end.

Due to the unexpected change of several world-class bosses in the cross-version event, the plot of the new version of "Ragnarok" has been seriously affected.

In the past 70 hours, our technicians and script editors have worked overtime to deal with this incident and have made corresponding adjustments.

We're glad to inform you that the servers of Thrillerland will reopen on December 1st, and at that time, Thrillerland will skip V1.20 - Ragnarok and go straight to V1.50 Final - Infinity. Stay tuned! 】

The timing of this announcement coincided with the tipping point for the patience of thousands of players and studios......

Just as the Internet and various media began to appear similar to "Thriller Paradise server crashed, facing overhaul", "Dream Company is going to roll up and leave?" At the time of such rumors, this announcement came out, and those who relied on fabricating fake news and writing advertising advertorials to eat together were once again collectively tricked.

There are many "media companies" that specialize in this industry, and they have even prepared a series of follow-up drafts to discredit Dream Company, and then they only need to talk to a few interested online game companies, and then insert the soft advertisements of those companies into the article, and the money will be earned. However, with the fall of the bombshell of the dream company, ~ you have been busy for the past two days.

…………

On the other hand. How players reacted to the news...... It's also conceivable.

In the middle of the night, the discussion trend of the major forums shifted from the topic of "Summit S2" to the new version of "Infinite World".

Although there is still more than a week before the launch of the server, players are already eager to try it and impatient.

The number of registrations for Thriller Park has ushered in another significant increase, and the sales of game pods have also reached new highs.

In the period before the official announcement of the new patch, various "uncle parties" have also been dispatched to show their abilities...... They all took advantage of this time to spread false gossip. Each of them is conclusive and factual.

In general, there are two kinds of "uncle parties...... The first is the type that has a game mentality or wants to brush up on the sense of existence.,This kind of mostly just casually there according to your own desires.。

As for the second option...... Naturally, it was a hired gun. These uncles are often much more professional than the first one, and the level of writing articles and lying is not covered; The most common tactics are to cite a series of details that don't exist, or to add a few fake images to the post that the average person may not understand, to increase the credibility of the message...... It can be said that it is well-intentioned. Of course, the fundamental purpose is to mix some "information they want to convey" into the false revelations, so as to promote the sales of certain products.

For example...... For example, if you're selling in-game currency on a third-party platform, you should hire someone like that. Go to the forums with a wave of cadence and let him hint in the post that "the game currency is about to increase significantly in the new version". Another example...... If you sell game peripherals, you can put a fake message saying that "the new version of Thriller Park will support such and such a model of peripherals, and you will get a mystery prize when you buy it" or something like that.

Marketing tactics like these are no longer uncommon...... Those who are fooled should spend money to buy a lesson, and the next time they will have a long memory.

…………

Another twenty-four hours passed.

Finally. Dream Company puts the new version of the patch ...... It is also listed on the homepage of the official website:

V1.50――

【Version Overview】

The demon fights in the world, and the demon head is hidden.

The living God. The mirror world hides the shape.

The spirit king ascended the throne, and the corpse gods complemented each other.

The court has changed hands, but the truth remains.

After Ragnarok, the four pillars of gods fell one after another.

Four new forces rose rapidly from the ruins of the old dynasty.

Origin, Organization Z, Phantom Church, Reasoning Club, Blackbeard Pirates and other powerful people are also active in the main universe.

Thriller Paradise ushers in a new era of freedom and infinite possibilities.

【Character Adjustments】

In the new version, the player level limit will be adjusted to 60. Level 50 or higher levels will no longer increase in XP ratio.

The maximum number of players' skill slots will be adjusted to 15 slots, and the expanded 3 slots must be purchased through in-game currency purchases.

【Mode Adjustment】

Single-player survival mode and team survival mode (including normal and nightmares) generated in the sleep server will have a high chance of appearing in long-term scenarios.

The "Negative Game Determination" mechanic in Kill Games will now be more stringent, and the penalties for negative players will be increased again.

[Changes in Goods, Goods, and Services]

The mall space has been fully upgraded and rebuilt.

After the Derivative Invasion event, the shop owners and the system's guard robots underwent special training together, and their strength was improved.

All the shops have bought a lot of new goods. Includes new gear, weapons, hairstyles, costumes, and more.

The "pre-order function" has been added to the Scare Box, and players can apply for "automatic trading after meeting the purchase conditions" for a certain item in the form of collateral skill points.

【Gameplay Adjustments】

The graphics of the game have been greatly improved.

The title system will add a self-selection function, and each time the title is changed, players can choose whether to accept the title after observing the new title ability, and get a "old title choice" once.

Note: After this update, all players will be able to choose their old title once (this permission will be reserved for 24 hours after the player first logs in to the game) and choose once from all the titles they have owned in the past.

…………

Many of the keywords in the above content have hyperlinks, and you can click on them to see the relevant information.

For example, words such as "Demon Fight", "Immortal God", "Spirit King", "Origin", and "Z Organization" can all be viewed.

However, none of these NPCs, tokens, or organizations have image data. Some are just written records; Moreover, most of the content recorded is some well-known basic premise. For players who can get access to more in-depth game content, this information is of little significance, but for novices, it is quite a good science popularization.

And about the "level cap increase", the vast majority of players expected it. In fact. 99% of people expected that level up experience after level 50 would increase to nine figures based on previous trends...... Therefore, when they saw the sentence "The level of experience will not increase again", they were a little surprised.

In addition, there is another change that many people have guessed in advance, and that is the "Skill Column Expansion".

Indeed, judging from the current development momentum of the game, the twelve skill slots can no longer meet the needs of high-end players, and the expansion is also reasonable. As for the price...... Like expanding your bag, this advantage can be bought immediately by relying on "money". Definitely not cheap...... With this change alone, Dream Company can also make a lot of money.

Next, let's take a look at a new service introduced in this patch - the "pre-order function" of the scare box.

This feature, to put it simply, is for players who "have their eyes on an expiring piece of equipment, but don't have enough skill points at hand for the time being".

For example, let's say...... A player has a scare box that requires 1000 skill points to buy, but he only has 500 skill points on hand for the time being. Not available for purchase. Moreover, the item was about to be deleted in less than a day. It may not be too late to accumulate 500 skill points in the remaining day.

At this point, he can use the "pre-order function" and pay a deposit equal to 40% of the total price of the item first...... That's 400 skill points...... Have the system extend the life span of the item for it.

Of course, if the item is bought by someone else with the full amount before the deletion deadline, there is no way, and the deposit will still be refunded in full anyway.

And if the item is not bought by anyone within the deletion period. So...... As a "pre-ordered" item, it will not be deleted immediately, and will be placed in a specific "pre-order area", waiting for the "pre-orderer" to make up the full amount; At this point, only players who have paid a pre-order deposit for the item will be able to search for the item.

Then. Within the next 72 hours, the transaction will be completed automatically as soon as one of the pre-orders has a skill value that meets the full payment requirements. When the transaction is completed, the system will send an email to other players who have paid the deposit, stating that "the product you pre-ordered has been purchased first", and the skill value of the mortgage will be refunded along with the email.

However, if all players who have pre-ordered the item do not make up the full amount within the seventy-two hours, the item will be deleted and each pre-order will be deducted a late fee equal to 5% of the item's price.

The above is the general setting of the pre-order function.

Over the past few months, DreamCorp has received a lot of feedback from players in this regard...... Many players have said that sometimes they can find a piece of equipment they want in a scare box, but they can't afford to buy it. When I finish the script and get enough skill points, the thing has been bought, or it has been deleted because the retention period has expired...... This experience is undoubtedly quite depressing.

Although Dream Company seems to be very overbearing in many aspects, it is still very willing to improve this kind of problem that can improve the game experience and has room for improvement.

So, with this version upgrade, they developed this new feature (similar to this kind of minor service repairs that have little to do with the script space, Woody is not responsible, but the technical department of the game company).

In the future, if players encounter items that they want very much, but they still have a little skill value to buy, they can pre-order them first, so that they don't have to wait for the entire script to be finished and then come back to pay...... Anyway, as long as you pay the deposit, you can enjoy the service of "automatic trading with enough skill value".

So, finally, I have to talk about it...... It's the adjustment of the "title system".

In fact, this system has not made any major changes, and it is still up to the system to judge what new titles players will generate. However, this time around, players have the option not to accept the new title, and ...... Every time you change your title, you can choose one of all the titles you have earned in the past and change it. In this way, it gives players the opportunity to "transform", which also has a considerable impact on the PVP of future games.

Obviously, this change was also made based on user feedback......

There are many players who have asked customer service to get back the old title that has been replaced, because the new title is not as good as the old one.

This type of player...... Most of them have had a title ability that they are very good at, and their skills and equipment are all matched with that ability as the core, and the result is ...... One day, the title suddenly changed, and the combat power of the entire character was directly lowered by a notch.

In a situation like this, they can only consider themselves unlucky, because the title cannot be changed, and it is not changed according to their own will.

Now, this problem is solved......

…………

November 23, 2 a.m.

Dream Inc. always seems to have a way of pulling people's focus back when it's about to be taken away, even on these days of closure...... It's no exception.

Only one day after the new version of the patch was announced, Dream Company issued two more announcements on its official website.

The first one has nothing to do with most players - [From 3 pm today, the server of Thriller Park will be partially opened and the trial operation of the new version will begin. At that time, all players who have the "48-hour new version trial qualification" will be able to log in to the game. 】

The so-called "experience qualified" players have a total of 250 players on the whole server, that is, the top 50 teams in the S2 preliminaries. So...... This message has nothing to do with most people.

In addition, the details of this announcement also stated: During the limited time trial, the game will only open the queue for single-player survival mode and free exploration mode.

This is also expected, the whole server can be online with so many people, if you open a team mode or a killing game, when you are in a single row...... Either you meet acquaintances, or you can't match teammates or opponents for a long time.

Also, there is an expiration date for the event, and at 9 p.m. on November 29, the server will be shut down again, and those who haven't used up the forty-eight hours by that time will be wasted.

Let's take a look at the second announcement - [Crazy Thinking, will start official operation on November 25]

The reaction from players to this message was good...... But the practitioners in the gaming industry were caught off guard.

No one expected it...... This card game, which has been bounced for a long time and independently developed by Dream Company, will actually choose the moment when the new version of this thriller park is about to open...... All of a sudden, it went live. (To be continued.) )
