Chapter 373: The end of the battle is about to begin
After the mall incident, a week passed in the blink of an eye.
Today, it's April 30th, and when the bell strikes midnight, the preliminaries of the pinnacle battle will officially begin.
After this week, the levels of the four members of the Hell Front have naturally increased. Now Feng Bujue has become the highest-level one, he is already level thirty-four, and he is more than half experienced. And the three of them, like rain, sad spirit, and small sigh, are all thirty**.
In fact, if Brother Jue tries his best to level up, he can get 40% experience advantage by clearing a script, and it is not a problem to hit the first place in the rankings.
But he clearly wasn't going to do that
First of all, he didn't want to open up too much of a level gap with his peers in the club, because that would make the team script more difficult, and it would not be beneficial to his own professional growth.
Secondly, after the game's leading groups have basically crossed the 30-level mark, the ranking on the level leaderboard has maintained a very stable trend. If there is someone on the level list who advances by leaps and bounds, passes the level, and rushes all the way to the front, it is easy to expose this thing, even if it is anonymous, it is useless, you only need a row of team books, you will meet people, as long as you meet people, people will see your level. In the entire thriller park, there are only a handful of people who have reached level thirty-six, and most of the people above and below thirty-five are professional players who belong to the studio
Of course, there was another reason why Feng Bujue repeatedly gave up experience rewards - he wanted to smoke jīng good-level equipment.
The [Zero Magic Crusher Machine] is definitely an abyss of all evils, in addition to the three pieces of equipment that it confessed to in the early morning of the 24th, in the last seven days, it has swallowed a full ten jīng good-level items. Of the ten items, eight were drawn from the bonus prizes, and two were cheap chicken ribs that were unknowingly found in the auction house.
When Brother Jue made zuò for the second time, he also filled in three pieces of equipment, but failed.
This time, the manufacturing success rate of the machine was accumulated to 6.01%
And in the third time, a naïve person told himself that "nothing more than three" so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, filled in four pieces of equipment, and still failed
At this time, the manufacturing success rate of the machine has accumulated to 10.01%.
By the time of the fourth system, Feng Bujue's mentality was similar to that of those gamblers who sat in front of the slot machine and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and were still playing.
So, three more pieces, continue to fail
The success rate of manufacturing has reached 13.01%, but Feng Bujue's patience is close to zero, but he is not crazy.
Coincidentally, compared to the past, in the last seven days, the probability of Brother Jue drawing jīng good-level equipment has increased significantly, although he still occasionally gets things like stones and toy bats, but in most cases, as long as he chooses to draw equipment, at least something above the ordinary level can appear. It is estimated that this has something to do with the level, after all, he is also in his thirties, and the reward of [randomly selecting a piece of equipment corresponding to the level] can't give him a lump of, and indicate in the remarks that this is a piece of holy (holy_crap, slang, meaning similar to me strangle, literally translated as holy).
It's a pity that the quality of the items drawn has gone up, but the really valuable ones haven't been drawn, and they are basically chicken ribs, and they are also the kind of inverted handling fees when they are put into the auction house. Even if it is not filled in the crusher, eighty percent will be sold to the store. That's why Brother Jue filled them into the machine.
It can be seen that Feng Bujue is not a pure gambler, at least he has not lost his mind, otherwise he would have taken off all the good equipment on his body and filled it in the machine.
Compared with Brother Jue, in these ten days, the other players' expressions can be called real "crazy".
As the period of the battle for supremacy approached day by day, all kinds of cascading effects rolled up like stormy waves.
Let's talk about the forum first
During this time, the number of posts on the forum ushered in the second wave of peaks after the open beta began. Posts with titles like "How to quickly rush to level 30 within XX (XX here may be ten days, eight days, a week, and those who are fat dare to write even five days)" are everywhere, and they are all popular.
The replies in the post are also very interesting, for example, there is a guy who ran to all the similar posts to grab the second floor, and copied and pasted a sentence "Everyone downstairs, huā spent the time of leveling up on reading this guide, you have already regretted it." ”
In addition, posts with titles like "My opinion about the format of the tournament" and "At what time of day in May are you less likely to meet pro gamers" can also get a lot of clicks. To be honest, reading this kind of post is a real waste of time, if you can qualify by studying the competition system, the national football team has long been a frequent visitor to the World Cup.
There are also some that are pure strategy posts, such as "shè strike system player weapon selection and skill matching", "on the power of summoning special jīng lewd stream", etc., the level of this kind of post is uneven, and it is related to the poster's game level and text expression ability. Some people play well, but they may not be able to write a good strategy, and some people write in a chaotic way, but due to the limited level, their strategy may not be accurate.
The most important thing is that in a game like Thriller Park, where the player's personal characteristics are very distinct, it is really difficult to say whether learning other people's growth patterns is helpful or misleading
Let's talk about the game level.
Players of all levels are at an all-time high in their enthusiasm for leveling. Those who have not reached level 30 want to obtain the qualification for registration, and those who have reached level 30 want to establish a level advantage and accumulate strength.
Of all game modes, the queue rate for Kill Games has increased significantly recently. Many players who don't like PK or are not good at PK, such as Xiao Si, who are in the period before the start of the battle for supremacy, have also invested in the big cháo of "fighting with others", and gradually got used to the atmosphere and rhythm of the battle.
The buying and selling situation in the auction house is unprecedentedly hot, and in the past 26 days, the popularity, social influence, and number of players of Thriller Park have been steadily increasing. On the eve of the battle for supremacy, it surged even faster. The increase in the number of players, the number of people online, and the online time means that more scripts are generated, and more props are brought out of the script, and eventually these things will be reflected in the number of transactions in the auction house.
The Summit, as the first major event in the game, undoubtedly made the vast majority of players rush to it. When they become "old players" in the future, they can say to those newcomers: "Think about how I was at the beginning, when I first competed for hegemony", that is definitely a face-saving thing.
On the contrary, if you are already in the thriller paradise when the big event happens, but you haven't practiced to level 30, or you have entered the preliminaries, but you have not even finished the full fifty games and are eliminated, then there will be no reason to talk about it after that, and you can't help but have a feeling of "I have long been in the rivers and lakes, but there is no legend of me in the rivers and lakes, if you get to the bottom of it, you can only ask about my shame".
Of course, cases like Rain and Sorrow are exceptions, they are pure casual players, and they are all local tyrants. I'm not obsessed with winning or losing, and I don't want to be famous or anything. If this type of person is not interested in the competition, he will not participate if he does not participate.
After talking about the players, finally, I have to talk about the situation on the game company's side
As the Great War approached, Dream Company adhered to their usual style - to respond to all changes with the same. It is like the hateful face of the domineering leakage of a monopoly, which makes those fans who are both painful and happy silently hand over their knees.
It stands to reason that in this period, the average game company will launch various strategies to make money in a manner like taking advantage of the fire
For example, you can pack a bunch of special items, crown them with a bloody name like "Peak Quest Preparation Pack" or something, set a price of 998, and lure some turtles to the bait, so that they can brush up on their sense of superiority or something.
For example, you can give a price increase to a double experience card that has recently doubled its sales, or a package promotion.
You can also launch a few new props, such as a five-fold experience card and a script difficulty downgrade card, although it may disrupt the balance of the game, but as long as there is a so-called "limited sale", it can justifiably pit people at a high price. You can even have a "bundle sale", for example, you buy a game pod, and I give a virtual item or something
Over the years, these methods have been played by countless jiān merchants, and they can be said to have been tried and tested. With the current popularity of Thriller Park, it can be concocted in the same way, and it will definitely make a lot of money.
But Dream Company is so maverick and so stable
At this juncture, they didn't move at all.
Even the exchange rate between RM** and the game currency is still stable, just from 1:2000 to 1:1900. This fluctuation is not much different from the natural fluctuation of each week. Obviously, Dream Company does not mean to sit on the ground and start the price of in-game currency. This attitude, on the contrary, stimulated the market and gave players greater confidence in the game company. Many players who have never spent money in games are also impatient and have donated money.
However, Dream Company has another characteristic - if it is not a hit, it is just a blockbuster.
Sure enough, on the day of April 30, they announced a shocking news on their official website
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the specific rules for the preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals were promulgated, which were named [Battle of Insects], [Battle of Cocoons], and [Battle of Butterflies], and the top 3,000, top 100, and top 50 will be selected in turn.
After these three battles, only the fifty people left behind are eligible to participate in the real [Peak Competition].
And along with this pile of rule announcements, there is also such a message: [Until 0:00 on May 1, that is, the deadline for registration. The system will select 10 "Guest Players" from all the players who have registered to enter the Butterfly Battle directly. (To be continued.) )
