347. If you want to improve the happiness of the people, you really have to work hard
The fact that the "Real Otherworld" development team is very diligent in fixing bugs has been widely known on the forum, especially after the number of players participating in the test has increased and the plot has advanced to cover the whole of Transancia, basically every Zhou Fa Ge will make an update announcement.
And after the assistant Xiao Cui appeared and was active in the forum, Xiao Cui would occasionally be in charge of the update.
For the most part, the update announcements are minor fixes to various gameplay features, and occasionally provide an overview of the development of the Crimson Keep and Transasia, so many veteran players joke that the weekly update announcement is a "work report" from the development team to the testers, the "Alpha shareholders".
However, for some players who are good at summarizing and observing, it is not difficult to find that the development team has been fine-tuning and guiding players' activities in the game in the form of update announcements and version updates.
For example, today's announcement is a very typical example.
[The 43rd Online Update Announcement of "Real Otherworld":
This online update focuses on some of the 'discordant elements' that emerged during Operation Hundred Days, as the prevalence of slave hunting in Translancia has caused concern among the Scarlet Archon Miriam and her administrative team about the surrounding situation.
She and her administration agreed that this was not a good time to provoke the "bad neighbors", and so urgently contacted the development team to patch the current situation.
Awesome!
My little players!
I've been doing testing for so long, and it's the first time I've seen a situation where the development team was forced to modify the mission gameplay because of some overly hardcore spontaneous actions of players.
Here's what this update looks like:
1. In order to draw the player's attention back to the internal affairs of Translancia and improve the happiness of the inhabitants of the territory, the scrambled Lord Murphy has decided to hold a month-long "Transencia Championship Tournament" in the fight club after consulting with his loyal servant Maxim.
Of course, although it is called the boxing championship, there is not only one event in boxing, and the Blood Rat Gang, under the orders of the governor, has opened up a competition venue in the sewers suitable for different sports.
Shooting, throwing, weightlifting, and even blind fighting events have all been confirmed.
The campaign is designed to be fun with the people, so the selection of fighters will include all of the citizens of Translancia who want to have some fun, so any young player who participates in the Championship will have a chance to see a familiar face on the opponent's bench for the duration of the event.
This includes, but is not limited to, Commander Maxim, Commander Adele, and Baron Kudell, as well as a number of major combat NPCs that have appeared in the plot so far.
Encountering them will trigger a series of amusement Easter eggs, and if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of defeating these NPCs, they will receive their own unique rewards.
Also, don't forget that the "Murphy-sama-sama's Challenge Letter" quest can also be obtained during this event.
As a reminder to all testers, the online addition of this activity is not just an attempt by the development team to cover up their mistakes.
It also has a strong correlation with the plot!
The cunning Northerners have maliciously added shameless prisoners and violent elements to the captives we have sent back to Translasia, and these fist-talkers want to get back to their old ways in Translasia, but the brave little players will tell them that they are no challenger when it comes to talking with their fists.
In this event, "Nordtov Advance Troopers and Thugs" will be randomly refreshed, and each time one of them is defeated, you will gain +1 Construction Points.
Get the top 3 in a single project and get +10 construction points.
Earn the title of individual event, gain +50 construction points, and earn the limited-time rare title "Champion of Trancia".
2. Rule-based restrictions on the gameplay of the "Slave Catcher" have been introduced:
The Scarlet Keep Administration does not want to see the current diplomatic security situation in the realm fluctuate, so as of the time the online update goes into effect, displaced people from the East Phorus and Kafhoka regions will no longer add construction points to players.
The income from the search of displaced persons through legal channels (e.g., the assistance of the Batasin Chamber of Commerce, the missionary work of the Avalon Church) and other means remains unchanged.
3. New channels for the search and acquisition of displaced people: The Call of the Mountain People:
The hill tribes of the ancestral woodlands in the northernmost part of the Sico Territory have just sworn allegiance to the Governor of Transania, and the Earl of Sico, who is in charge of them, Sharon the Younger, has been given a special task.
Because of the ambiguous territorial division of this unique group of people in Translancia and the surrounding region, His Excellency the Doge hoped to call on the mountain dwellers of the Saxes region to join Transencia through the liaison between the mountain people.
Players who are interested in helping the mountain people who have been persecuted by the Plantagenet Kingdom to enter the civilized land can go to the ancestral woodland and find the mountain elders to participate in the operation.
Saxophone mountain residents obtained through this channel search enjoy the same construction credit income as displaced people.
Prompt!
Traveling from the Ancestral Glades to the wild forests of the Saxophone region is full of dangers, even if the local mountaineers lead the way, the various dangerous beasts and treacherous terrain encountered on the way, as well as the mountain rangers of the Plantagenet Kingdom that can be refreshed at any time are all factors worth considering.
This activity is not suitable for the weak to participate in.
Therefore, the development team makes a special suggestion here, and asks players to consider trying this game after reaching the Black Iron Level.
4. The number of exotic items sold on Dorothy's black market has been increased, and the refresh time for each batch of items has been extended to 10 days.
5. The class system of the Sico Hussars was finally completed, and the superior class of the Hussars represented by the Valland Knights was born, the "Heart of the Wood: Holy Grail Knight", and thanks to the efforts of the Earl of Sharon and the Valland Knights, the Translancian official finally mastered the production method of the Hussar equipment.
This is a high-level psionic item, and it requires a certain level of manufacturing skills to master its complex crafting methods.
Manufacturing players can go to the Administration Office to observe a series of crafting drawings, and the Administration Office will also grant military orders according to the progress of unlocking the drawings.
6. Fix a small number of bugs. ใ
This update announcement made it clear at the beginning that it was a gameplay supplement to the current main quest, and it listed several restrictions that made the group of "hawkish" young players following the post feel like a mourner.
The big pigeon that took the lead: [Damn! The income of the slave catcher team was directly cut off, and when Zhanshan became the king and became a big bandit, the ideal of reproducing the Otherworldly Water Margin in Transylasia was shattered, and it was scattered, and it seems that the development team is still not free enough.
What do you say you are afraid of?
We're all in this situation, are you still afraid of being reported? ใ
Ah Ruen: [What kind of eyes do you have, you can't donate it to those in need, take a closer look! ] It's very clear, but the East Horus and Kavhoka regions can no longer use the tricks of the slave catchers, and the Cato area is not restricted.
In other words, as long as you want to, you can still do some sassy operations. ใ
Lumina Imprint: [If I'm not mistaken, the last time the wolf venom vampires who came to fight us were from the Cato region, right?]
According to the background, that place has now been given to the Wolf Venom Clan by King Louis as their base camp on the mainland. In other words, if we go over there to search for the homeless, we will have to fight the wolf vampires face to face? ใ
It's good to be alive: [This is obviously the Blood Vulture Clan carrying private goods, worthy of being the plot pro-son, and the development team actually acquiesced to the player's provocation of the Wolf Venom Clan. In other words, they didn't ban the Slave Catcher game.
It's just that the target is limited so as not to accidentally injure the 'friendly army', in fact, this is also good, draw a clear bottom line to control the scale and situation, I am actually worried that everyone will not be able to end up if they play too high.
With the overall strength of Transncia now, provoking the Plantagenet Kingdom so directly is the same as Guo Xiaosi jumping up and bursting Tyson's knee. ใ
Sister Pomegranate uprooted the weeping willow: [Your metaphor is really strange and expressive, no matter what! ] Let's go, let's box! Go to the Blood Rat Gang to sign up now, doesn't it mean that there is a chance to encounter a combat NPC?
Just to check the progress of our force increase during this time, I also plan to complete the legendary event to challenge Lord Murphy before the arrival of the Black Plague.
Alas, after opening the new version, Maxim's strong challenge has stopped, and I can't see anyone all day long, which is really sad. ใ
Ruthless Horse Fork: [This design must be an easter egg, it is impossible to let the NPC end up in a full state, otherwise who can beat it?] Everyone is skeletal-level, and even the reconnaissance skills can't see their specific information clearly.
It will only give you a hint of 'extremely dangerous' or 'like a god'. ใ
What color is loyalty: [Damn, I actually dare to use reconnaissance skills on my own NPC, awesome, brother! ] Doesn't that mean that this thing will cause hostility when it is perceived? You really don't even think about brushing their favorability. ใ
Ruthless Horse Fork Worm: [Sleeping!! Does this thing actually increase hostility when perceived? Scald! I said why every time I went to the sewer, Ms. Dorothy ignored me, so it was here.
Scald!
Losing five million, Ms. Dorothy's sassy tattooed big sister is my favorite. ใ
Frostfang's Claw: . When you get to know her, you'll know that your tattooed big sister is an unreliable veteran tease.
In addition, the prestige merchant of the Blood Rat Gang has set up a special batch of "treasure maps" this morning, and interested brothers can come and take a look, but this guy is always moving back and forth between several strongholds, and his location is not easy to find. ใ
Onboard Happy Bar: [!! Can you buy treasure maps now? Damn, the Vault Hunter gameplay has been greatly enhanced! Yaya will buy me a few and give you money when I go online. ใ
Frostfang's Claw: [Uh, I can bring it for you, I'll buy it at an internal discount.] But don't worry, this isn't the kind of treasure map you think it is, to be precise, it's the location of some of the tombs in the land of Translasia that might contain good things.
And it's sold as an 'employment agreement'.
After you buy it, you have to hand over a part of the proceeds to them as agreed.
Some of these tombs also conflict with the reputation of certain mainline NPCs, such as a series of treasure maps that describe 'Veteran's Graveyard'.
By doing this, you will be declaring that your reputation on the side of the Kadman People's Army is nullified.
So I feel like I'm in a pit. ใ
Haw Par Ride: [Whether the pit is pit or not mainly depends on the income, buddy tell us about the income of this thing? ] ใ
Frostfang's Claws: [I don't know, I'm personally disgusted by this kind of behavior, but judging by the income from the tomb of the original Earl Sico, it should be quite fat.
However, digging graves in this magical world is risky, and I have never seen those Yin people's mechanisms, and it is easy to bury them if you are not careful. ใ
Touching You Poor: [So is it part of the 'Evil Stream' gameplay?] If you can't brush the prestige of the People's Army, wouldn't you miss out on a set of veteran protective gear? ใ
Pretend not to use your hands: [The Blood Rat Gang where we assassins and thieves belong also sells prestige armor, which happens to correspond, and the acquisition of equipment does not actually affect it, mainly because it may interfere with the follow-up plot line.
But in mind, if you are really short of money, digging graves is also a good way to do it. Get rich quick, but there are certainly risks.
This is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise of the wise. ใ
Mrs. Wen Wan Atmospheric Water: [So, has the development team started to try to make different plot route choices to divert players?] These details are really well done.
In addition, we of the Silver Moon Pride Group have just discussed, and we feel that it seems that it is not interesting for us to monopolize the line of the Bataxin Chamber of Commerce, so I would like to share with you the tutorial of recruiting homeless people from the Bataxin Chamber of Commerce through formal means, and we have already opened up the relationship with Ms. Paryn, so you can just report our name in the past.
But don't do bad things in the name of the pride of the silver moon, little brothers, it's very bad to do so. ใ
Shrimp catcher: [Wow, Sister Shui is really beautiful and kind! ] It's a pity that I've already decided to go boxing, otherwise I'd have followed you to Kafhawka to see the world. ใ
Deadly Orchid Flower: [What's your sister?] At your age, do you want to call her aunt understand! ใ
Reed Female Sword Master: [o(โฏโกโฐ)o! Orchid Flower, you are dead, Mrs. Water is already sharpening her knife. ใ
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Cheche: [Auntie! I don't want to work hard, it's so hard. ใ
Mrs. Wen Wan Atmospheric Water: [Don't want to work hard? Come to Auntie, I'll give you a few mouths to make you sober up, okay? If you are young and don't work hard, you want to eat soft rice?
The threshold of this industry is also very high, little brother, don't underestimate the gold content of the cowherd. Cover your mouth and smile. ใ
โโ
The players on the forum began to talk about routine nonsense, and Murphy, who had been peeping at the screen, was also relieved.
He admits that he did think a little bit about it when it came to building points, but now that there's a patch for combat professionals, things are probably going to go in the right direction.
"Ah, I've always said that Natalie is the shepherd of Avalon, and now it seems like I'm a shepherd, and the slightest mistake in the whip in my hand can set off a chain reaction, and this time it's a lesson.
In the future, we must be cautious and cautious in the design of tasks. โ
Murphy touched his core orb and sighed, thinking in his heart that in fact, Transcia was not strong enough, if he could really restore the power of the Portia Confederation period, hey, what happened to his own little player who crossed the border and grabbed a few people? Do you really dare to provoke a full-scale war because of this?
When he sensed the slight discomfort of being a lord, a civil servant from the Administration Office knocked on Murphy's office door, and after receiving permission, stepped in and handed a report to the Governor.
Murphy took it and glanced at it, and then said in surprise:
"For this boxing championship, are they so enthusiastic about signing up? So are the lords of the Crimson Keep so idle every day now? โ
"The main reason is that there is a great lack of entertainment at the moment, and the people of Translancia have always been very aggressive."
The civil servant replied very decently:
"Your initiative has come at an opportune time, Your Governor, and our people wish to take part in such a large event before the uninteresting winter arrives, for today's harvest festival and several local festivals have not been carried out because of the war."
"Well, indeed, you didn't say I almost forgot, but the Holy Blood Day, which means a lot to the vampires, is next month."
Murphy glanced at the dense "contestant" statistics on the report, rubbed his chin and said:
"Maybe I should also prepare for the holidays for the members of the Vulture Clan in advance, this year is a memorable time for both Transencia and the Vulture Clan.
So let's get ready at the current pace and start the first bout of the Championship in two days at the Fight Club. โ
"Well, Lord Doge, Archon Miriam has a small proposal."
The civil servant glanced up at Murphy with a hint of timidity, and he whispered:
"Your Excellency Archon also believes that holding a large event at this time is good for the physical and mental health of the people, but as an advocate of the event and the most famous person in Transencia at the moment, Your Excellency Archon hopes that you will participate in this event in the form of the 'Opening Battle'."
โ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผโ
Murphy's face was full of question marks.
He really couldn't imagine that such a handsome person would appear in the ring of the fight club dressed like a boxer, so he immediately refused, but then hesitated for a moment.
He said:
"It's not impossible, but who will be my opponent?"
"Well, Archon Miriam has already arranged it for you!"
