443.The Dog's Quest Design: The Lady's Strategy - 10/25
(Add more for the "Yu Xiaohe" brother [5/5])
Murphy saw a series of discussions in the forum because of this "situation report", and he was satisfied with the situation analyzed by the young players, and at the same time felt that there were more and more talents in his "talent pool".
Although the fact that the "old company commander" took the initiative to come to build Transnesia is a bit unsettling, but in the current context of the impending black disaster, Murphy really has too many ways to persuade himself to accept this "kindness" with peace of mind.
At least before Maxim, the commander of the army, has grown up, these old knives and handles that have been kicked in another world and completely cultivated in the mode of "great power confrontation and regular war" are absolutely easy to use, and even better is that they still have the genes of guerrilla warfare engraved in their bones.
Murphy doesn't even need them to pay much attention, he only needs to insert these professionals into the command node of his own team, and he can make his army organization instantly increase by several orders of magnitude.
At present, several faction forces that will participate in the battle of the swamp have been instructed by Murphy to guide the young players into the swamp, and according to the speed at which they clean up the skeleton army on the periphery, Murphy and his "development team" have about a week to determine the mode of advancement of this battle.
To put it simply, it is the "combat mechanic" of the Plague Town, a regimental dungeon.
In the battle in the swamp, Murphy does not intend to use the Cadman People's Army, which is still training, as the soldiers recruited from the armed blood servants and civilians are still lacking in training, and Transasia's own firearms have not been fully equipped, so in Murphy's opinion, they still need to train more intensively.
Not to mention the hussars.
The swamp is not their good terrain, and the weight of the hussars, armed with men, horses, and armor, is a luxury to maintain a normal speed once they enter the swamp.
Therefore, due to the influence of terrain factors, this battle has been the "home field" of players from the beginning.
In Murphy's most optimistic estimate, he will only need to support a batch of supplies and a few high-level NPCs at most, and the rest of the battle can be completely led by the players, so as to check how powerful the players who have been strengthened by the talent can burst out against these vicious gnolls warlocks.
By the way, this is the last "combat test" before the arrival of the Plague, to determine the player's position in the Translane Armed System and the most appropriate responsibilities they will take on in the Plague.
With this in mind, Murphy left the Vulture Corridor in a hurry, spread his wings in the evening night, and rushed to the place where the eldest lady was currently under the guidance of the vulture Refno.
That is, the "Mage Tower" between the Smuggler's Woodland and the stronghold of Fort Riptide.
For the past few days, the eldest lady has been stationed here.
On the one hand, to prevent the gnolls of the Plague Clan from entering Transencia through the Smuggler's Woodlands again, and on the other hand, to sit down here, instruct the workers of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons to decorate her mage tower in detail.
Oh yes.
This mage tower has been ordered by the eldest lady to be the "Red Devil Pavilion", which is also the name of her own psionic organization that the eldest lady is forming.
Although the name comes from the spoof suggestions of the little players on the forum, the big lady loves it very much.
Especially after knowing the origin of the name, I like it even more.
To be honest, Murphy also felt that this slightly pompous name was quite appropriate here, at least much better than the "Far Eastern Aurora Magic Society" and "Kama Taj Supreme Mage" that he proposed.
"Why are you still so lonely here?"
Murphy's "super speed" allowed him to reach his destination quickly.
Because of the urgency of time, he rushed almost all the way at supersonic speed, and climbed into the room through the window of the tower with dexterity, only to see the eldest lady lying on a rocking chair, covered with a blanket and holding an arithmetic orb and looking at something.
This posture alone is somewhat similar to that of Tracey's salted fish, and sure enough, the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture Clan has successfully relied on his salted fish style to lead a group of people crookedly.
This is really a family misfortune.
And the place where Phimis is is honestly very cold, although the workers of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons have repaired it a lot in the past few days, but there are no carpets, no chandeliers, no ostentatious and extravagant decorations, not even large tables and wooden cabinets, making this place look completely less like the majesty of a mage tower.
Like a miserable "beggar's hut", Lord Femis is the little beggar who lives here.
In the face of Murphy's ridicule, the eldest lady snorted, hid the orb in her hand into her sleeve with a flip of her wrist, and stood up from the rocking chair that the players "worshipped", she crossed her waist and said majestically:
"How do you have time to come to me, you busy man? And I haven't built this place yet, so when the final repairs are complete, I'll be able to move everything from my fellowship in the Vulture Corridor.
At that point, my 'Red Devil Pavilion' will definitely be the best and greatest mage tower in Translasia! ”
"I absolutely believe in this, I can doubt the strength of the eldest lady, but I must not doubt the aesthetic standard of the eldest lady.
By the way, we don't have a mage tower in Transncia at all, so as long as your mage tower is built, even if it's a shack, it's definitely the best and best mage tower in this land. ”
Murphy gave a small compliment and complained by the way, and then got down to business in the eldest lady's angry gaze, that is, about the eldest lady's battle idea design for the team 003 dungeon.
Murphy is qualified enough to inquire and guide this matter, after all, the group books that he has been the "designer" in the past are quite good.
Whether it's "Into the Vulture Corridor" or "The Battle of the Under Armour Hills", it is a good example of the perfect cooperation between the locals and the Warriors of the Otherworld, and through the tacit cooperation of both sides, it has accomplished miracles that are almost impossible to achieve in the eyes of others.
And whether from Murphy's point of view or from the player's point of view, these two teams are the finishing touch in the current game system.
In addition to the factor of equipment update, the dungeon snapshot of the two team books can help new players effectively understand the two important events that happened on this land that can affect the direction of Translancia, and the "NPCs" of the assistance nature existing in the two team books are based on the players at the time of the raider, which makes the old players who have participated in the quest more bragging capital.
It's also an effective way to deepen their ties with Transansia.
And if you count the factor of equipment, the existence of two regiments is even more meaningful.
The Family Guardian set from "Into the Vulture Corridor" is still the most valuable piece of equipment in the game so far.
Even if new forces continue to come up with new replaceable equipment, this comes from the accumulation of psionic weapons in the 400 years of the Blood Vulture Clan, which is synonymous with excellent armament, even at the level of the entire continent.
At present, T1 players in the game almost always have a family guard set to ensure basic combat power, while T0 players have obtained more awesome weapons through excellent performance in several events, but these overly supermodel weapons are rare and fragmented, and cannot be obtained through normal gameplay methods.
Therefore, even though it has been almost three months since the capture of the Blood Vulture Corridor, the 001 group book is still hot, and the most desired thing for those newcomers who have just passed the Black Iron Trial every week is to participate in the weekly "Charity Belt New Dungeon" organized by the Silver Moon Regiment/Big Bird Regiment/Beast Regiment/Hammer Scythe Regiment.
However, there are only so many badges dropped by bosses.
The once-a-week rate doomed players to spend time acquiring enough equipment to move them from settling down to carrying a flag and a stick in Translasia.
The most troublesome thing is that there is a limit to the number of family guard sets produced by the 001 regiment, and the remaining number of this set can be checked from the quartermaster of the Blood Vulture Clan.
It has only 444 sets in total.
186 sets have now been redeemed, which means that with the influx of new players now, this set will definitely be swapped out and out of print before the Black Plague arrives...
Feed!
Do you hear that?
This is a good thing that will be out of print in the future!
Whether it's for actual combat value or collectible significance, the warriors who claim to be veteran players can't have a set?
And if No. 001 represents the qualification to step into the field of "game play", then No. 002 "Battle of Under Armour Hills" represents the player strength of a certain team.
Because of the magical and demanding "three boxes" design, the No. 002 group has put forward a harsh challenge to the technical requirements of the team members, and it is not very difficult to defeat the only boss Kenpot, and there is already a complete sneak strategy on the forum, but it is too difficult to win three reward chests within the specified time.
So far, the team that has really hit the three boxes is Brother Bang's Hammer and Sickle Group and Brother Woo Meow's Big Bird Group, and the girl group has not been able to complete this challenge, which can be imagined how difficult it is.
Of course, the biggest reason why the girls can't always hit three boxes is that there are so few of them.
Although this group book has become a "flex mode" after forming a copy snapshot, and no longer needs 140 people to participate in it, and at least 7 people can enter the challenge, but the girl group is so "streamlined" that it is difficult to even get together seven people
They only waited for Lao Huo's "Four Golden Flowers" to complete the Black Iron Trial last week, and finally got someone to go in and try it, but because of the poor cooperation, they only got Master Murphy's reward chest.
The crotch-pulling results of this box are really not good to show off in the forum.
Being able to hit three boxes in the 002 team is undoubtedly the best proof of the strength of the T0 player team in the current game, and now Brother Bang and Brother Meow will play this sign to show the strength of their team when recruiting.
And compared to the good equipment produced by the No. 001 regiment, then the No. 002 team produced the best weapon of the current version.
Based on the perfect three chests, you can get 4 "Vanguard Badges" for a single dungeon, and with this unique badge, you can go to Madame Trass to order three weapons: "Cold Fang", "Ranger", and "Nightfall".
This is a high-level psionic weapon imitated according to the weapon style of Murphy, Kudell and Big Phimes, corresponding to melee defenders and DPS and psionics respectively, not only the attributes are super awesome, but also the appearance is quite stylish.
Although it is an imitation, the attribute gap with the genuine is not too large to be unacceptable.
However, in contrast to their excellent stats and appearance, these replica weapons are quite expensive.
Each weapon requires 10 Vanguard Emblems to customize, and even a perfect three-case would take three weeks to get a weapon each time, and due to the 100% realism limit of hell, Madame Tracey can't refresh these weapons indefinitely.
After placing an order, you still have to wait a week to pick up the goods, Rao is a complicated process, and there are already a number of real high-level toys who have obtained these weapons, and basically every day you can see these guys wearing weapons on the streets of the Crimson Keep to show off.
And there are rumors that if you hit the perfect three chests, there is a certain chance that the boss will have the blueprints of three rare weapons: "Flail Biter", "Bone Shield: Clan Heart", and "Fist Blade: Wolf Fang".
These are all the sidearms of the great warlord Kenpott, not only have powerful attributes, but also have the voodoo blessing of the jackals, so that they are not inferior to the box weapons.
This rumor was not proven on the forum for a while ago, until a good person repeatedly asked Fa Ge, who was annoyed that Fa Ge finally spoke the truth and gave the answer that there were indeed these three things in the "drop list".
However, the drop rate is very low, and it appears as an "easter egg" weapon like the "Soul Reaver Scythe".
It's even worse now.
After the five-person book of "The End of the Rat King", the No. 002 group book has also become another place used by many luck parties to test their character.
All in all, Murphy, the dog planner, is very satisfied with the design he gave the two team books, and no one has criticized the backstory and combat mode of the two team books except for the complaints about the difficulty issues received from the players.
So he continued this idea to complete the background and style design of the 003 regimental book "The Land of the Rotting Corpse".
As for what the specific combat mode of this group will be, this is not something that Murphy needs to consider.
Because the "combat design" of the new regiment is the work of the eldest lady.
Philimis was unhappy with Murphy's arrangement when she attacked Kenpot before, she took on the job at that time, plus the plague clan she was going to attack this time was good at psionic energy, and this aspect is still Murphy's weakness.
The lord obviously knew how not to express his opinions casually on things he didn't understand, so as not to laugh at the truth of generosity, so he was very relieved to hand over this matter to the eldest lady.
The latter was a true psionic master in the Vulture Clan other than Tracey, and she must have had an accurate idea of how to dismantle the psionic defenses of Plague Town.
As Murphy expected, when he asked the question, the eldest lady grabbed a rolled-up scroll from her psionic bag and opened it in front of Murphy's eyes.
It was the specific terrain near Plague Town, on which the eldest lady had marked with different colored markers, and Murphy noticed that there were three different colors around the town.
He raised his eyebrows, and then he heard the eldest lady say to him:
"Those gnolls are cunning, and the town they are now occupying is the old camp in the swamp established by Boris's vanguard during the Second Black Plague, which was originally established with the siege in mind, so the terrain chosen is high in the swamp.
This makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
And it happened to be stuck on the road to the Forbidden Territory in the eastern part of the swamp, so we now only have three attack directions to choose from. ”
Fimmis leaned on the staff of the night whistling that was taller than her, and said eloquently:
"The most troublesome thing is that the Warlock Tower in Pesticulus Town happens to occupy one of the three psionic nodes within the Filthy Swamp, which means that once that tower is up for defense, it will be replenished by the psionic energy within the swamp.
At its scale, the psionic defenses it can hold up are no weaker than normal walls, making it difficult to breach it in a short period of time.
But the good news is that I've been studying the tower for the past few days, and I've found that it was built too early, and the human psionic theory was still very rudimentary at the time of the Second Black Plague, so the defense system of this Warlock Tower is very flawed.
To put it simply, the limit of psionic energy it can invoke is still within my range, and it only takes one precise psionic counter to temporarily overload the mage tower's defenses.
But each overload can only last up to 6 hours. ”
Philimis pointed her staff on the ground and made a light sound, and in the beating of the scarlet light at the top of the staff, she raised her head and said to Murphy:
"I've seen a lot of warriors on the forums complaining that the loot after each battle is not well distributed, and even if it is evenly divided, there will be those who contribute a lot who are not satisfied, so I decided to use this opportunity to give those players a chance to prove themselves.
Every time I've finished countering the Mage Tower defense in Plaguetown, I'll allow a Warrior Guild to attempt to attack Plaguetown, and if they can't end the fight within six hours, they'll quit and hand it over to the next guild!
This was done on the condition that the warriors had to clear the Skeleton defenses around the town, so I set up three directions for them to attack.
Not only can you avoid the problem that the width of the battlefield prevents the attack from proceeding smoothly, but each attack direction will face different types of enemies.
With Ling's idea, you can make three different 'Foreshadowing Quests', and after the outer defenses of the three lines of defense have been broken, you can use the strategy of Plague Town as the core content of the rotting corpse land.
Through the player's repeated attempts to consume the core strength of the Plague Gnolls, and finally weaken them to a certain limit, there will be a lucky guild to complete the slaughter of the flesh.
I learned a new term on the forums, we need to shape a 'copy group'!
An internal healthy competition that allows warriors to play as a guild instead of as a whole! A very free attempt, as long as it is within my ability, I will support them in all kinds of help they need.
If they're willing to take the time to help us capture the other two psionic nodes within the swamp, Tracy and I can also support them with different power stat boosts.
That's my strategy and design thinking. ”
She looked at Murphy and asked:
"What do you think?"
"I was blown away by your performance every time it mattered."
Murphy said in amazement:
"You are really a genius in this area, my dear Fei Fei, it seems that the top spot of the development team will be handed over to you in the future. Hey, I'm old and can't keep up with the development of the times, and I will be the world of you young people in the future. ”
"You're serious, Murphy."
The eldest lady rolled her eyes and said:
"I'm just collecting their whimsical ideas at the Forum Tavern, but honestly, it's a lot of fun, I never thought that there could be so many different options for a war.
But this is also a plan that can only be used against the undead Otherworldly Heroes, after all, our warriors do not have the power to use their lives to try and solve difficult solutions.
They were born for war!
It's our job as the 'guides' to make sure that every sacrifice they make is meaningful and valuable, and our relationship reminds me of the 'Valhalla' of the Western Saharian legends, where we are the goddesses of war of the Berserker, and the players are the undead Heroes who have died in countless battles and have been brought back to reality.
I now probably know where your confidence in victory in the Black Plague comes from, Murphy.
As long as those gnolls can't defeat us all at once, as long as they can't kill us all, we'll always come back! Yes, as long as Transnicia persists, as long as Transencia never gives up, those gnolls will never want to trample on this land.
I'm as confident as you are now, Murphy.
I believe that we will be able to work together with the people of the other world to create miracles. ”
