The atmosphere was boiling like fire, and the voices of the people were like the noisy waves.

Chu Guang, who was standing on the third floor, could see that his face was full of enthusiasm.

He could even touch it with the tip of his nose, the excitement and longing that came to his face.

The blood is surging in my heart.

That emotional resonance spread through the crowd.

He believes.

The people who are waiting for this moment are not just themselves.

At six o'clock in the evening.

The boiling sound in the square subsided slightly, and at this moment, the solemn and loud voice sounded above the square.

"Nearly 200 days and nights have passed since the gate opened. From the endless wilderness to the 10,000 acres of fertile land outside the farm, it only took us half a year. ”

"In this short period of half a year, we have expelled xenos, conquered barbarism, defeated the waves, advanced under artillery fire, and cultivated on barren soil."

"We accomplished what others saw as impossible, and it came with sacrifice, but we didn't leave anyone behind."

"Now we have enough reason to believe that we have the courage and the ability to take order to a more distant place!"

"Let's cheer for this moment!"

"For yourself, for everyone around you!"

"Victory is ours!"

"To all those who have fought for this land!"

The voice fell, and there was a loud sound.

Thunderous applause.

Cheers resounded through the square.

"Long live the manager!"

"Vault 404 is immortal!"

"Long live the People's Union!"

"Long live Demacia!"

“EmperorofMankind！”

"People live for—woo woo, let go of me, let me finish!"

Some people chant great and long live, others say something difficult and even confusing, but the pure emotion is really the same.

People are expressing their excitement in their own way, and venting their emotional resonance in cheers.

Wait for the surging sound to subside.

At the end of the opening ceremony, Chu Guang announced the resolution of the management of Vault 404 - in the background setting of Wasteland Online, the administrator's authority was also granted by the "overhead mechanism" located at the bottom of the vault.

“…… According to the collective vote of the management of 404, Vault 404 will fulfill the mission entrusted to us by the era of the People's Union, join hands with our fellow citizens who await us on the surface, reforge a new alliance from the ruins, rebuild a new world of equality and prosperity, and rebuild our homeland! ”

In the name of the alliance, the united front for the rejuvenation of human civilization was officially established!

In order to distinguish it from the old people's union, it is referred to as the "new alliance" or "new alliance".

A large area spanning Yumu District, from the North Fifth Ring Road of Qingquan City to Yuanxi Town, will serve as the first recovery area of the new alliance.

A large area of land from the Outpost to the Long Farm will be consolidated under the name of Dawning City as the capital of the new Alliance.

As for the legislative work and the building of the system, it will also be carried out later, so I will not repeat them here. There is still a lot of detailed and complex work, but fortunately there is also a lot of time, and people have enough time to explore and suit their own path.

IT'S LIKE DEVELOPING AN APP, YOU CAN TAKE OUT A WORKING BUG FIRST, AND THEN SLOWLY ADJUST IT TO MAKE THE BUG ACCEPTABLE TO MOST PEOPLE, OR AT LEAST NOT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE.

Programs that satisfy everyone 100% do not exist even in the era of extreme productivity and resource-rich prosperity, and even big data that has been honed for thousands of years can occasionally raise people's blood pressure.

But at the end of the day, something is better than nothing.

Chaos has been going on in the province of the River Valley for two centuries, and the people who live here have waited too long for this moment.

Even if the vast majority of Indigenous people do not understand the meaning of the Alliance, at least not yet, it does not prevent them from cheering for this moment.

They need a reason for unity.

A reason to be proud to speak.

Standing in the tin can, Bucky, rubbing his index finger against the lower edge of the helmet, looked up at Chu Guang who was standing on the third floor of the sanatorium with interest.

"New Alliance...... Sounds interesting. ”

witnessed the birth of a new force, and his trip to the west was worth it.

There's no change in the expression on Hea's face, and her mind is now full of specimens from the brood, DNA, and research on the serum that induces expression.

Having experienced a "farce", she has already seen through the boredom in human nature, and she is only interested in what is worthy of her interest.

Yin Fang, who was standing on the side, touched the bridge of his nose and said thoughtfully.

"It was beyond my expectations."

Bucky gave him a curious look.

"What surprise?"

"I thought he would make himself emperor."

Although he said this sentence in a mocking tone, Yin Fang was not joking at all.

Vault 404 didn't feel like a real Vault to him, at least not like the few Vaults he had been to.

Perhaps because of faith, perhaps because of his charisma, the inhabitants of this place obey and even worship him unconditionally.

He can do whatever the man wants to be. Not to mention being an emperor, I'm afraid no one can oppose him for even more exaggerated things.

In fact, with Yin Fang's understanding of Chu Guang, this man really rarely cares about means in order to achieve his goals, and some commotion operations can always make him dumbfounded.

Yet puzzlingly, he rarely does these things for himself.

Man is really a complicated thing......

"Long live the new alliance! Long live Dawning City! Standing at the edge of the crowd, Dietway cheered excitedly, even more exaggerated than the locals' movements, attracting the attention of others.

The store manager of the gray squirrel clothing store glanced at this guy in surprise, he had come here to buy goods, and he happened to catch up with this celebration, but he didn't expect to see old customers.

"Aren't you from Boulder City?"

"What's the matter?" With excitement on his face, Dietway said nonchalantly, "We are all survivors of Clear Springs City, we live in the same wasteland, is there anything wrong with me cheering?" No problem at all! ”

The people of Boulder?

He didn't remember having that label.

He was a merchant, a merchant who walked in the wasteland, he was neither born there, nor was he a retainer of the lord, and he followed whoever could make him rich, and he took the money with him wherever he could make it.

If you think you're a Boulder just because he's doing business in Boulder City, you're wrong!

Not only did Dietway think so, but Liszt, who was standing not far away, also had the same idea in his heart, but his mood was far more complicated than this guy's.

He has a good reputation among the merchants of Boulder City, and for more than ten years, he has only one idea of living in the inner city.

But recently, this idea has suddenly wavered a little.

It's pretty incredible.

Liszt has been to many more prosperous places than here, such as the ideal city of the province of the clouds, which is like paradise.

But he didn't think about it once, spending the rest of his life there.

The people there thought things completely different from what he thought, and even the simple contact of business made him feel that he and they were people of two worlds.

If you go to live there with your possessions, the biggest possibility is to sit and eat and get out of the dust. The people there never wanted to be tolerant of other people, and he didn't fit in with the local life at all.

But here it is different, whether it is a homeless person or a trader, as long as you obey the local law, you can be accepted.

Yes, it's the same with Boulder City, at least the outer city is accessible to anyone, but the two places give him a completely different feeling.

Liszt couldn't tell me how it felt.

But in short, it's different.

Xia Yan, who was standing at the door of the weapons store, looked at the blue power armor in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

The little fish straddling her neck swayed her calves excitedly, straightened her neck and looked left and right, and the plastic stick in her mouth moved and chewed.

She couldn't understand what Brother Chu was saying.

But it feels like everyone is happy.

Something very good must have happened!

Tail, sitting on the shoulder of the flesh, looked in the direction of the weapon store with envy and jealousy, and kept muttering in his mouth.

"Damn...... Why is it Boss Xia who is carrying the small fish! The tail also wants to be the mount of the small fish! ”

Sisi gave her a surprised look.

"Yikes! Can I call the police? ”

On this great occasion for the Aborigines and players to celebrate, a server announcement was also updated in all players' VMs at the same time.

and the forum's official website.

……

】

It's still the old rules.

At the same time as the announcement was released, Chu Guang posted the pre-edited post to Xiaoqi on the forum on the official website!

Developer Diary: Beta 0.1

"Hello everyone, I'm your dearest planner Ah Guang! It's been a long time since we've seen each other, but I've been watching you guys on the forum. ”

"After sacrificing 200 siege lions, our server has finally been given a new lease of life, and now we are able to accommodate 4,500 players online! At present, the helmet is being produced overtime, and we plan to release 10~40 activation codes and virtual helmets every day, in other words, every day after three days, there will be fresh and delicious - I mean cute little budding newcomers to join us! ”

"Aren't you happy? Isn't it exciting? Although there is a long queue in front of the gate of the new world, at least this gate has opened a small crack now! Don't give us a round of applause, just give a round of applause to the testers, who have suffered a lot in the server...... What? You also want to come in and suffer? Wait! There will be a chance! ”

"In short, thanks to the efforts of countless test players, our virtual community has begun to take shape, and Wasteland Online has finally ushered in the B round of testing! We promise to end the closed beta before the launch of "Give Him Love 6" and "Star Pie", and decide whether to add an closed beta before the open beta depending on the actual situation. ”

"Let's talk about the beta version this time!"

"In the new version, we will focus more on the development of the virtual community itself, enhance the cooperation between players and players, players and NPCs, and enrich players' career gameplay and choices."

"The traditional pick-up quest is still the most mainstream way to play, but it is no longer the only option, you can choose to skip the complicated quests, take the money saved from your part-time job to register with the 'Merchant Union' to become a merchant who travels from south to north, start with a small business and grow the business little by little, and then lose it all again."

"If you don't want to take all the risks alone, you can also rely on the abduction and abduction to pull your friend into your black car, and let him bear part of the cost, and the price is a little dividend."

"If you're not interested in doing business, and don't have the self-proclaimed crappy guy to haggle with the cunning Wastelander, you can also try to hire NPCs, or be hired by NPCs, run your own or someone else's trade routes, and eventually become a tycoon or a well-known old man."

"You can even sign up to be a caravan guard who is busy fighting fires, put aside the worries of money, and focus on enjoying the journey itself, anyway, death is just a CD for you to return to the city for three days."

"In addition to the above, we've also got a brand new content for combat pros - the blood-pumping Legion System!"

"In the new version, the combat mode of the player force will evolve from levies to standing corps, NPCs will set up one or more standing corps as needed, and some corps will be open to players to join, mainly for combat professional players who are not interested in command and focus on mainstream mission gameplay."

Of course, in addition to the standing legions formed by NPCs, the new version also allows players to form their own legions. If you're confident enough in your conducting art and have proven it to others, consider taking an unusual path as well. ”

"Anyone who has three or more Silver Medals and a Contribution Level of Senior Citizen can form a separate 'Legion' with at least two friends of Medium Citizenship or higher, set their own flag and number, and recruit other players who trust and share their interests to join the team."

"We have designed a special growth path for the Corps system, which is divided into ten levels like the skill proficiency system, and the scale is divided into ten-person teams, hundred-person teams, and even thousand-person teams.

"It is worth mentioning that although the XPCC was born for war, its function is not only to fight abroad, but also to maintain order, suppress rebellions, protect peace, expel aliens, fight against the tide, and build homeland."

"In peacetime, the Corps can choose whether to participate in tasks such as mercenaries, escorts, and weapons tests according to its own needs, and obtain funds from the missions to purchase and upgrade equipment. And when war breaks out, the corps will automatically respond to the call to war from the shelter and go to the front line to fight. ”

"We will strengthen the cooperation between life pro and combat pro gamers, and achieve the same game experience through a reasonable balance design. We'll give players more control over their loot, and we'll also encourage lifestyle pro players to support the front lines more logistically and take what they need from the loot they capture. ”

"Investing in a battle with a good chance of winning may be a surefire deal, but a risky battle can also bring huge dividends."

"But what needs to be understood is that although the player corps can decide the target of the attack to a certain extent, it does not have the right to declare war on its own, nor can it declare war on external forces on behalf of the new alliance."

"As the person in charge, the corps commander needs to strictly discipline his team. The cost of violating discipline is not only the revocation of the flag and number, but also the fact that major violations can even affect whether the account can continue to be used......"

The post was sent out less than a minute later.

The originally calm forum exploded in an instant.

"Damn!? The B round test is really open! ”

"Dog planning is awesome!"

"Ah Guang: That's right, your number is gone."

"Hahahaha!"

"Anyway, why didn't I see those sealed test targets on the forum today?"

"The marked ones are all online! These hateful Europeans! At this time, eighty percent of them are playing in the game, and they don't have time to show off in the forum. ”

"Gan! Why can't we wait for the new version to go live and have a celebration! Wouldn't I have missed the entire Spring Festival event directly! ”

"Calm down, even if the celebration is placed after the new version is launched, you will have to wait for three days before you can enter the game, not to mention that the maximum number of qualifications released every day is only 40, are you sure you can win the lottery?"

"Gan! Be so real! ”

"Don't say it!"

Since the last time the game screenshot function was launched, a large number of high-definition screenshots have poured into the forum, and the number of reservations has already broken through the six-digit mark and is heading for seven figures.

So many people queue up at the same time, and there are only 40 numbers at most every day, and there are always people who can line up and people who can't.

However, compared to the previous endless waiting, the release of accounts every day is always a hope.

It's not like the Alpha version, sometimes it's released several times a month, and sometimes it's not released a single number a month, which really makes people die.

Cloud players cheered for the arrival of the B round of testing, and the gossip section of the entire forum frantically swiped the screen, and only the few sections that were only available to closed beta players have not yet become lively.

But.

It's only a matter of time before it gets lively.

Online players' VMs will also receive updates to the version.

As soon as the celebration began, there was a long queue at the door of the save point, all of which were players who were planning to take a shortcut to go offline and join in the fun on the official website.

If you don't want to go to the save point, there are other options, and there are unlimited beers and corn wine at the festival, and you can buy a large glass or bowl for 5 credits.

The old players were even more convenient, and found a place to lie down that was out of the way, and then directly used VM to ask Xiaoqi to help pull the gate.

Since the previous Alpha 1.0 release, there have been simply too many ways to go offline tactically.

However, not everyone is in a hurry to run to the official website.

Why bother?

Friends are in the game.

Where is the discussion not the same?

on the square.

Looking at the server announcement that popped up on the VM, Commander Izumi touched his chin with excitement.

"Having your own station, funded by the Vault's official grants, and the ability to recruit players...... No limit to grades? That is, it is possible to recruit new people? ”

Although the level is not very good, he is the one with the highest proficiency in the command skills of the whole server.

The edge paddling was also clearly interested, and the requirements for the creation of a separate regiment were three silver medals and a senior citizen, and he fully met the criteria, one of which was a "special medal" with a shield on it.

The debtor who was standing next to him said with a smile.

"What is the name of the Death Corps?"

"Fuck off!"

Although he said to get out, he was obviously moved.

On the other side, several people from the cattle and horse team also gathered together to discuss,

After reading the quit smoking announcement of the server, I suddenly screamed in surprise.

"Awesome! In other words, is this corps system preparing for guild play? ”

"Eighty percent yes," Fang Chang nodded, and said thoughtfully, "The message revealed in Ah Guang's post is very clear, the new version will emphasize more cooperation between players and focus on improving the community. ”

When the mole brother on the side heard this, he hesitated: "Generally, MMORPGs will start to attract players to the guild gameplay after level 30 or even 60, right?" At present, the highest level of the server is less than LV20, will it be too anxious to start warming up now? ”

Generally, after the main quest of MMORPG is completed, the level is basically close to the full level, and if you want to increase the game content, you can only rely on constantly patching the plot, constantly sending expansion films, blackening popular characters, and whitewashing villains.

But that's clearly not enough.

Sylvanas couldn't burn the tree twice.

The strategy of most MMORPGs is to guide players to form communities, using guilds and relationships to bind players to the game.

Similarly, mentoring and marriage are the same.

However, Wasteland Online clearly doesn't have this problem.

There is so much to explore in the wasteland world, it's like a real world, even if the dog plan doesn't make any updates, the existing gameplay alone is enough for players to toss for a long, long time.

Fang Chang: "Actually, there is no difference, how can the average MMORPG liver reach level 50~60 in half a year, the upgrade difficulty of "Wasteland Online" is obviously much greater than that of traditional MMORPG, and it is normal to give high-level players more gameplay choices. ”

Lao Bai nodded.

"It's true that in the past, the server had few people and many tasks, but now the number of players has increased, and there are not enough trees near the park."

It's not just trees.

The garbage in the ruins will not be refreshed if you pick it up.

If you want to get more benefits, you can only go farther.

It's not just tree cutting and scavenging, it's the same for other professions.

After a pause, Fang Chang looked at his friends and continued.

"Let's make a prediction, in a maximum of two versions, the server will definitely open the dormant pod for saving for players to buy, allowing players to build their own save points, and even allow players to buy cultivation pods and set their own respawn points!"

Ye Shi hesitated, "What does this mean?" ”

Fang Chang only replied with two words.

"Territory!"
