Chapter 180: The Gap in the Match Uniform
After lunch, they went to the renovated training room. The changes here are mainly concentrated on the second floor, and the staff dormitory on the third floor and the counter on the first floor are the same as before. The second floor, on the other hand, is the same as they requested, similar to a cubicle in an Internet café, with eight gaming loungers and supporting in-game viewing equipment.
With these instruments, non-trained members can also watch the internal gameplay on these instruments.
And this compartment is also as they requested, there is a separate lounge next to it, and there is a small kitchen, microwave oven and Xiaoice box next to it, which is fully equipped.
"Wow, that's amazing...... I feel like I'm a pro gamer when I sit down! Su Xing excitedly tossed and laughed on the game recliner, Gu Qinyan looked away, and said to Xu Shuo: "Actually, I don't know this guy well, +♂,a□nsh♀uba. ”
"I'm sorry to make you smile......" Xia Chiyu also bowed beside him.
"No, I actually think that's pretty good." Xu Shuo held his chin and smiled, "If you can always maintain a childlike innocence to experience the game, then the enthusiasm will continue forever, right?" When you become a professional, this passion is especially important. Maybe you'll understand this after you've been a pro gamer for a long time. ”
"As much as I'd love to say it's childlike, it's a pity he's just stupid." Xia Chiyu laughed dryly.
As he spoke, Xu Shuo clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, then I've seen the training room, so let's see what the competition clothes look like." And then...... Let's have a 1v4 match. ”
Immediately, Xu Shuo came to the computer and logged in to a game server account, and then set some information, then turned to Xia Chiyu and the four of them and smiled: "Okay, the server port of the game server has been connected." Now after you log in to AO, you should be able to see two sets of servers, one is the official server, and the other is the competition server, you can log in to the competition server directly with the original account. ”
After Xia Chiyu landed, he usually landed directly in the game. There is now an additional server selection screen. Xu Shuo continued to toss on the computer, muttering to himself, "Well, but it's a bit troublesome to connect to the European server." Due to network issues, it may take a while to connect, so the three of you should go up and see what the suit looks like. ”
Xia Chiyu nodded, then put on the game helmet, and the surrounding scenery quickly collapsed into green 0s and 1s, and then formed a new scene. Unlike usual, they weren't going online in the same location they had previously taken offline, but in an inn.
Gu Qinyan and awakening are next to him. The three of them are in the same place, and they walk out of the inn and find themselves in a city, which does not belong to any of the thirty-four arrondissements, but to the legendary "race suit", a world where zài exists alone. There is really only one island in this world.
After entering the door, there is an arena that occupies 80% of the entire island, and around this arena is a large number of small hotels where they were born, and some players can be seen coming out of the hotel. Then he walked directly into the arena, and there were not many people. Soon, Xu Shuo also walked out of the inn behind them.
"This is the game suit, and each small hotel can be seen as a game port." Xu Shuo explained to Xia Chiyu. "Actually, to put it bluntly, this place is not interesting, it is just a training server for players. There will be some game features that are not available on the official server, and you can open the PVP interface to take a look. ”
Xia Chiyu clicked on the PVP interface and found that there were many more options. Most of them are very convenient features, such as the ability for players to reset and redistribute their Ability Points on their own, as well as the ability to create unlimited in-game equipment. Then specify the attributes of these pieces of equipment yourself. At the same time, the player cannot die in this area, and the maximum amount of health can be deducted is 1 point.
"There are indeed a lot of convenient functions, the competition uniform is so ......cool," Xia Chiyu frowned.
"It's not cool to talk about this, now you can take a look at the equipment on your body." Xu Shuo said with a smile, Xia Chiyu clicked on it and looked at it, and found that although the equipment on his body was there, it was all red, showing "unavailable".
"Alright, you guys can make some more game gear." Xu Shuo said with a smile.
Xia Chiyu made a piece of competition equipment according to what he said, and then began to assign attributes, and then he found that something was wrong. The attributes of this piece of equipment are very low, more than a dozen points lower than the attributes of the equipment on their bodies!
"Why is this equipment attribute so bad, at most this is only the attribute of the same level blue suit, right?" Gu Qinyan frowned and said.
"That's not all, take a look at your character stats panel." Xu Shuo explained with a smile, "Isn't it a lot lower?" Because this is a competition uniform, your attribute points are only given as many as level seventy. ”
"Really, there are only three hundred and forty-five ability points to allocate after the reset!" Su Xing said in surprise, "So, the equipment level is also level seventy?" ”
"But even if the attribute of this equipment is level seventy, the attribute is a little lower, right?" Xia Chiyu was puzzled, "The added attributes of this equipment are similar to those of a level seventy blue suit, right?" ”
"Not bad." Xu Shuo smiled and said, "So, do you understand the purpose of this design?" ”
"I don't understand." Su Xing scratched the back of his head and said in distress, at this time Lacey also came out of the inn behind them.
Seeing this, Xu Shuo smiled and waved his hand to them: "It's good, everyone is here." Anyway, let's go first, find a training ground to occupy, and I'll slowly explain to you why the battle in the competition uniform is different from the official uniform. ”
However, Lin Qianxue and Zhang Zinuo were also launched on the competition uniform together.
"Eat fish, we want to see your training in the game together." Lin Qianxue pursed her lips and smiled sweetly.
"It's okay to watch, but please don't disturb the players' practice, two little beauties." Xu Shuo said with a smile, the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy again, "Otherwise, I will use my coaching privileges to forcibly kick you out of the server." ”
"Got it, really, I didn't do anything before I thought we'd be holding back." Lin Qianxue glared at Xu Shuo angrily and said, "You can figure it out, we are also investors, not to help you work!" ”
Zhang Zinuo persuaded with a wry smile on the side: "Okay, okay, we won't cause trouble." Qianxue don't talk about it. ”
So, the four of them followed behind Xu Shuo and walked towards the arena in the middle. However, the arena seems to be a dungeon-like place, where players enter through an entrance, but they are not in the same area.
"Don't worry, this place is equivalent to a copy of what we occupy." Xu Shuo explained, "In order to facilitate our individual training, if we want to play an exchange match with other training teams, we only need to start queuing at this venue, and then we will randomly select teams to play against each other in the corresponding type of competition." It is very convenient training ground. ”
The area they were in was just a blank field. There's nothing in it, but once training begins, it's up to insiders to choose the venue and convert it into a map of any arena.
"However, before I let you line up to communicate with the other players, I have to teach you some common sense first, so that you don't go out too ...... People who lose our speed e-sports, after all, our company's results are actually quite good. Xu Shuo said with a smile.
"We all know common sense, okay?" Gu Qinyan said a little angrily, obviously quite dissatisfied with Xu Shuo's disgrace to them. Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly and persuaded on the side: "You are modest, you are the last champion ......."
Xu Shuo was not angry. He just smiled and said, "I understand you thinking so, so let's move on to the previous question now." In your opinion, why are the equipment attributes of the game suit so much lower than that of the official server? ”
Everyone on the field shook their heads inexplicably, and Xu Shuo hugged his arms and smiled: "That's to deliberately reduce the player's damage." And extend the duration of the game. ”
"Wouldn't it? Why? Su Xing frowned and said incomprehensibly, while Xia Chiyu sneered: "Really? It turned out to be for this purpose...... In this way, there is indeed a considerable gap with the official server. ”
"Ouch, I've got it when I eat fish." Xu Shuo said with a smile. "Do the other three understand?"
Gu Qinyan thought for a while, held his chin and asked tentatively, "You mean, this is to deliberately reduce the player's damage. Isn't there a one-hit win in a battle? ”
"That's pretty much it." Xu Shuo smiled and applauded, "As you know, the pvp of the formal server...... Putting aside the attribute gap of equipment and the level gap of characters for the time being, even if it is in the fair stage, to put it bluntly, in many cases, it is who hits whom first, which basically determines the winner or loser, because too high damage will lead to a combo that will cripple the opponent. ”
"Especially for a profession like a mage, the armor is too low, and the attack is too high, usually either the opponent is directly seconds or is seconded by the opponent, which greatly reduces the competitive factor of the battle, and also leads the player who is attacked first to be directly at a greater disadvantage, and the error tolerance rate is too low. In order to avoid such a situation, the game uniform deliberately reduced the attributes of the equipment. ”
"This is done to reduce the player's damage and prolong the combat process, so that the player no longer has to seek a chance to kill the enemy directly. One advantage cannot bring absolute victory, only the accumulation of advantages and details in the battle can defeat the enemy. This leads players to have to make drastic changes in their strategy. ”
"A lot of times, if you use all your skills in order to gamble on a chance, you will only end up with a set of skills that have left most of the opponent's health. And you are no longer skilled, and the opponent seizes the opportunity to play several waves of advantages in a row and is defeated into a victory. This situation is also very common in matches on the official server. ”
As he spoke, Xu Shuo looked at Xia Chiyu: "Even if it is a mage with a crispy skin and a high attack, it takes at least three sets of combos to be killed by a profession like an assassin and a swordsman, and a mage needs two or three sets of skills to attack other professions." For normal classes, it may take four to five attacks to kill them. This is a clear difference from formal clothing. ”
Xia Chiyu held his chin and groaned, "Really? In fact, this is better, reducing the player's dependence on their own reflexes and equipment, and focusing more on strategic choices, which is indeed more competitive. ”
"The second difference...... Xu Shuo raised his index finger to explain, "and that is the significant reduction of the agility attribute, and the flow of the game has been greatly slowed down." ”
"As you know, agility can improve a character's reaction time and attack, spell guidance, and movement speed, and agility is an attribute that every class needs, so every piece of equipment has an agility bonus."
"The equipment attributes have been greatly reduced, which has led to a general reduction in the player's agility value by dozens of points, not only the movement speed and attack speed but also the cast speed, and even the reaction time will be shortened."
"When it comes to the concept of reaction time. Although the increase in reaction time seems to be small, the reaction time itself will speed up the character's reaction ability, so dozens of points of agility actually shortens the reaction time by about one second, which is a very obvious change. Players need to make the right tactical choices faster and more skillfully, and use reaction time more carefully. ”
As he spoke, Xu Shuo turned to Gu Qinyan and said, "The most influential ones are agile professions such as swordsmen, fighters, and assassins, because the official server moves and attacks very quickly, so the combos will become relatively simple. Due to the fast attack speed, it is much easier to hook up the next skill before the player's stun ends. ”
"But when you slow down, you need to be more careful with your timing. Otherwise, it's likely that the player will recover from hitstun before your next skill hits. Xu Shuo said that he turned to Reis and the others, "This point also needs to be careful with other professions, because the speed of each profession slows down, and skills and movement will be affected. ”
Su Xing and Reis nodded hurriedly, and Xu Shuo continued: "So, this is the difference between the competition uniform and the official uniform. The damage is reduced and the speed is reduced, which may not seem like a big deal, but it has a big impact on combat. Let's explain this point through the actual battle. Xu Shuo clapped his hands and said, "Venue switch, ancient Roman amphitheater." ”
The circular room they were in changed rapidly. From a pure white circular room to an ancient Roman Colosseum, with blood-stained sand and spectator stands. The noble king and the beautiful queen watched the game below from the most prominent vantage point. Xu Shuo waved his hand and said to himself, "Lift the number of people...... This will make it 1v4. ”
"The two little beauties should stand a little farther away and not get in the way." Xu Shuo instructed Lin Qianxue and Zhang Zinuo that after the two went to the spectator's stand, he clicked on the PVP interface. began to allocate points to make equipment, and at the same time, he also urged Xia Chiyu and the four of them: "Don't stand stupidly, you should also quickly allocate points to modify equipment." ”
Xia Chiyu also knew that there were some things that he couldn't understand. The direct experience is more direct, so I distribute my character points according to the way in the game, and then create a full set of equipment and start assigning the corresponding attributes.
The attributes of these pieces of equipment can also be freely selected as primary and secondary attributes, as well as armor types. So that those who are not mainstream can choose their favorite stats and armor types.
Xia Chiyu chose Bu Jia, and then assigned attributes to spirit, spiritual power, and agility according to priority. In his consideration, since the battle process of the match suit is long, it is better to appropriately allocate some spiritual power to increase the upper limit of mana. Of course, he doesn't know if this choice is correct, but after a few more plays, he should be able to choose the most suitable plus point.
Gu Qinyan and the three of them also chose quite carefully, and carefully assigned their attributes.
Xu Shuo was already done, changed his equipment and waited on the side, chattering: "So, do you understand what I mean now?" Equipment is not the most important thing, and talent is not the most important thing. Experience and skill matching are all that matter. You have a good mix of skills and give you plenty of experience...... That's my job. ”
"I'm all right." Gu Qinyan said confidently and put the equipment back on.
"You can't equip any artifacts or holy weapons in this place, and the same goes for magic weapons. This place is a stage for fair battles for every player. Xu Shuo hugged his arms and smiled, "So you know why those professional competitive players rarely appear in the AO to play in the arena or something, right?" It's because of the game uniforms that this place is stored zài. ”
"It's true that since the style of play is completely different, then there is no point in PvP in the official server. Those princes with artifacts and holy weapons will come to this kind of place, I'm afraid even ordinary players are not as good as ordinary players, right? Xia Chiyu thought secretly.
"I'm fine too." Lacey said with a smile, changed his weapon and stood next to Xia Chiyu and the others.
The four of them all chose their attributes and equipment, and Xu Shuo also smiled and set up a battle posture: "Then, let's get ready to start." It's not an official tournament after all, there's no countdown, just attack when you're ready. ”
"Hmph, you're welcome." Gu Qinyan snorted coldly, and was the first to attack, his body spinning, and he was ready to use wind shift. But this is when the difference in attributes is reflected. The skill of agility reduction guide zhì had a relatively obvious prelude, and at the moment when Gu Qinyan's body rotated, Xu Shuo began to move. Therefore, when Gu Qinyan appeared, Xu Shuo was already a little far away from the original place, and kept a certain safe distance from Gu Qinyan.
"What do you want to do?" Xu Shuo smiled and turned to Gu Qinyan. Xia Chiyu immediately raised his staff when he saw that the situation was not good, but Xu Shuo rushed to Gu Qinyan with a dragon teng, because the two were too close, Gu Qinyan did not have as much time to react as Xu Shuo before. Therefore, the distance was instantly shortened by the other party.
At this distance, Xia Chiyu's attack would affect Gu Qinyan, so he had no choice but to give up.
Gu Qinyan also understood this, so he planned to distance himself so that Xia Chiyu and the three of them could attack, but Xu Shuo didn't give him this opportunity, and turned around and swept Gu Qinyan in the face with a roundabout kick.
Gu Qinyan planned to use the instantaneous flash to open the distance, but the agility was not enough to guide the instantaneous flash and it was not released immediately, and Xu Shuo was aiming at this moment from the beginning, so Gu Qinyan's body had just erupted white fighting energy. was kicked by Xu Shuo and fell into a hard stun. Seeing this, Reis hurriedly secretly shouted that it was not good, and stepped forward to help Gu Qinyan.
It's a pity that Lacey is a knight in heavy armor. After the attribute was reduced, the speed was even slower, even if the star track was used, but the intention was too obvious, so Xu Shuo immediately hugged Gu Qinyan's waist. Turning to Gu Qinyan's back, he slammed back.
This time, he not only launched an attack on Gu Qinyan, but also blocked Gu Qinyan as a shield in front of him, forcing Reis to stop. After a back fall. Xu Shuo simply got up and did not continue to attack Gu Qinyan, but launched an attack like Lacey. Lacey transformed into a punisher state and greeted Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo was unhurried, and when he came to Resis, he did not attack, but went around to his side, raised his foot and kicked the side of Lacey's knee. Reston's stumbling and kneeling on one knee with a slowdown attached.
"This guy ......" Xia Chiyu found that Xu Shuo only started his actions after being quite close to Reis and Gu Qinyan, that is to say, he deliberately reduced the time for the other party to react.
On the other hand, Xu Shuo deliberately distanced himself slightly when he was attacked, so that he had more time to react and respond. Xia Chiyu took this to heart, and took advantage of the opportunity of Lacey to fight back against Xu Shuo and waved his staff.
But at the moment when Xia Chiyu cast the spell, Xu Shuo suddenly accelerated with a dragon soar, and flashed away the moment Xia Chiyu's vines emerged from under his feet. Xia Chiyu suddenly sighed: "This guy, while fighting with Reis, he still has time to look at my side......"
He has also heard that real professional AO players are all eyes and ears, especially in team battles like 3v3. Not only can they deal with the opposing player in battle, but they can also pay attention to the situation in the whole field, and while focusing on attacking the opponent, they can also pay attention to the movements of the other two enemies and control them.
"What about this move...... Su Xing grinned and raised his hand suddenly, but the black blade did not immediately rise from under Xu Shuo's feet, but a black shadow first appeared. Xu Shuo immediately noticed this, he chuckled, braked sharply, turned around and collided with Gu Qinyan who rushed up, locked his arm, and then took the blow together.
"Holy!" Su Xing suddenly scolded secretly, "Why did you stupid rush up at this time!?" ”
"I'm the one who was hurt by you!?" Gu Qinyan didn't have a good qi, and a strange blood-red fighting aura burst out from his body.
"Ah, yes. In short, let's make a big move first! If it's four to one, you can still get off in seconds if you directly open a big skill, right? Xia Chiyu came back to his senses and said suddenly, the staff hit the ground, "The end of the Seraph!" ”
However, before the Seraphic Angel could emerge from him, Xu Shuo, who had already let go of Gu Qinyan, had already turned to his side and a dragon Teng narrowed the distance. Only then did Xia Chiyu notice that Xu Shuo was not moving casually, but always kept in the center of the four of them, so that he could attack at close range at any time.
However, Xia Chiyu's Seraphic Angel had a spiritual force field effect when it was opened, and Xu Shuo suddenly collided with the golden light mask. (To be continued......)
