679.Witch Offering - Monthly Pass Plus Update [9/10]
After the boss of the development team was temporarily offline, Xiaofei, a member of the test team who had been considered to be not working well, finally fulfilled her duties.
Three hours after the sudden server shutdown incident, an official post was posted on the forum, and the development team finally explained the cause and solution of the incident in good faith:
[Description of the 51st Online Update of "Real Otherworld":
1. The main cause of the server downtime problem has been investigated by the development team, and the cause is that a special bug hidden in the character modeling program about the 'two forms of jackals' was triggered during the server operation, which caused large-scale data redundancy and caused the main framework of the program to crash.
At present, the development team has temporarily sealed the Jackal race selection function, which is expected to reopen in 24 hours!
In order to compensate players, the development team decided to provide all players with two copies of the legendary skins of "Philei, King of the Conquest of the World" and "Primordial Son Hogg" as free of charge in the original racial appearance settings of the Gnoll.
Please note!
This compensation expires after 30 days.
2. A note on the loss of player equipment that occurred during the internal testing phase.
First of all, the development team had to make it clear to players that the loss of equipment due to death was one of the advanced gameplay of this game, and the development team originally planned to test this feature in the next game stage, but the problem occurred due to the sudden server downtime.
After urgent consultations with the strategy team, the development team decided to bring forward the gameplay mechanics that were originally scheduled to be released after the end of the Black Disaster!
The following is the description of the function of "Real Atlas Map Layering Mechanism":
In order to achieve the goal of a 100% realistic gaming experience, the development team will launch a new map mechanic after this online update, and all map areas of the entire world will be divided into three levels: 'High Security', 'Low Security' and 'Chaos'.
The important areas of Transencia and the kingdoms are the 'High Security Zone'.
In the event of a battle in this area, even if the player dies, their equipment and property will be properly protected by the various factions.
This area is highly recommended for novice players.
The border areas between Translancia and the kingdoms are 'low-security zones'.
In the event of a battle in this area, there is a small chance that the player will lose their equipment and property after death, but the various factions in the area will do their best to help the player recover their losses.
It is recommended that players above the Black Iron Level move around the area and always be vigilant against accidents.
Areas such as the Dark Mountains, Ice Bays, and Misty Seas, where no sovereign power exists, are all 'chaotic zones'.
When fighting in this area, players have a high probability of losing all their equipment and property after death, and due to the lack of effective counterbalances in this area, players need to rely on their own wits and strength to recover their losses.
But the development team hereby solemnly reminds!
All of the equipment and possessions that have been generated in Atlas will never disappear into thin air! Thieves and robbers will always leave clues after they have done bad things, and players will eventually recover their losses if they persevere.
In addition, the development team will also be able to open the 'Blind Prophet' Lady Visioner's 'Prophecy Lost and Found' service, and if a player who has suffered a loss asks for help, Lady Villanzer will be happy to use her shocking prophecy to help players.
But beware, as a Shadow Elf magnitude, Lady Villanser believes in the principles of 'fair trade'!
Therefore, players should be sure to bring a good sacrifice when asking for her help, or be prepared to receive some very difficult paid tasks from Lady Veranther.
3. Compensation scheme for player losses due to server downtime:
After urgent consultations, the development and testing teams decided to compensate for the damage caused by this unplanned outage, and if players do not plan to use Lady Villanzor's 'Lost and Found' service, they can go to the Scarlet Keep Treasury and receive gold compensation based on the estimated value of the lost equipment.
In addition, the development team enthusiastically helped these players who had suffered losses to develop a new quest chain called 'Mejewa Vaults'.
Interested players can go to the Adventurers' Guild's station in the Maginot Line and look for President Natalie to trigger the quest, which will give the player access to the Vault of Mejeva City.
Please note!
This quest is only available to players who have lost their gear due to server downtime, and while rewarding but unpredictable. 】
Such an explanation posted on the forum naturally sparked a heated discussion among players.
On the one hand, the development team of this chicken thief's "Real Otherworld" is so proficient in the art of "turning bad things into good things", and made up the setting of the map system with a work mistake, and it is well written.
In particular, EVE players couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw the familiar high-security and low-security zone settings, remembering the miserable scene when their poor mine ship was blown up.
On the other hand, the development team does have sincerity.
Instead of a simple and boring compensation for lost items, three solutions are given.
Players who are not convinced can ask Veranser to predict who their losses will be, and go and grab it back yourself!
Players who don't have so many ideas of fighting and killing can go directly to exchange for losses.
And the last option is obviously that the development team played a trick, saying that there is a secret treasure ahead, which player can resist this temptation?
While the fools were still thinking about how to choose one of the three options, the little clever ghosts quickly tasted some strange ideas from the development team's statement.
"Holy! Choose what to choose! I want all three! ”
Brother Meow on the forum is noisily saying his thoughts:
"People didn't say that there were three routes, you can only choose one!
Gather the lost brothers to get the Shadow Elf Treasure first, and then ask Lady Veranther to divinate the location of her lost equipment, and everyone will go and grab it back on the way, and teach the damned gnolls a good lesson.
In the end, if you really can't get it back, go to the Crimson Keep to cash it out.
Tsk, one fish and three eats!
That's a beautiful thing. ”
", brother, steady! This idea is awesome! ”
Ta Ta Kai and a self-touch Ta Ta Kai below immediately expressed their admiration, the armor that these two unlucky guys changed from the Black Flame Pass burst out before it was hot, this will be the time of heartache, seeing Brother Meow's idea of eating one fish and three foods, he suddenly became excited.
But it didn't take long for someone to find out what was wrong.
Lady Gentle Atmosphere: [Wait!] Brother Meow, you didn't suffer any losses at all, weren't you picking and choosing from the quartermaster when you dropped the line? My husband saw it with his own eyes! You can't take on this task at all. 】
King Meow: [Who said I didn't lose!] Mrs. Shui, you can't talk nonsense, I obviously 'lent' some of my unused equipment to Meng Xin, and many people can testify to this!
Now that the newcomers have lost their equipment, isn't it also the loss of me?
Of course I can take on the task!
In addition, President Natalie's side triggered a recovery quest line for the "Avalon Relic: Verdant Wind", which only members of the Avalon Church can take.
Why don't you hurry up? 】
Mrs. Wen Wan Atmospheric Water: [?!] Wait for me, go right over! I suddenly remembered that I had borrowed some equipment for my belly brother, and that the unlucky guy had been following a group of men to explore the kobold crypt and had lost it.
Hey, I can go find the Vault too.
All right! 】
Female Swordmaster: [Tut-tut, someone has learned badly, but I won't say who it is, and my stupid mother has lost all the weapons I lent her, and I have to find justice for her. 】
Frostfang's Claws: [Miss Dorothy told me that this is a real Great Vault!] Godslayers, come quickly. 】
So the little players who were very easy to fool immediately let go of their unhappiness and ran to trigger the mission, so that Willancer, who was about to travel far away, quickly assembled an expedition of 500 people.
A small part of them are unlucky people who have lost money due to server downtime, and most of them are unlucky team members.
This is an obvious bug in the task sharing of the team mechanism, but the development team turned a blind eye and didn't see it, and the rest of the players didn't want to come, mainly because the Splitting Claw Clan attacked again, and the Black Flame Pass now needs someone to defend, and they can't get out of the way when they are recruited by Lord Heather for a while.
That's all it over.
But Murphy's side ran into a bit of "trouble".
"Make it clear to me! What is a 'transfer of power'? ”
In the living quarters of the Swamp Exhibit, Murphy, dressed in a casual robe, stared weakly at Tracey, who was preparing an awe-inspiring ritual.
He whispered:
"You said you could transfer your ancestral power to me? What does this mean? ”
"Don't worry, it's not a complete stripping transfer, just a 'copy' of the power I have and give it to you, I will become weak because of it, but considering that my rank is much higher than yours, this weakness will not affect my combat effectiveness."
Tracey explains:
"This spell is an evil spell that I discovered from the Wave Fishman when I traveled across the continent.
This is how they will create 'Wave Destroyers' for their tribes, and each of their members will inscribe such a sorcery rune before the battle, so that when one fish-man dies, its power will be transferred to the others.
Until the end of the day there are one or two super awesome bastards left.
The Wave Fish People are very capable of giving birth, and those guys are oviparous, which is much more fertile than the Kobolds, but unfortunately their combat effectiveness is generally very vegetable, but the civilization system is more advanced than the Kobolds. ”
"It's a witchcraft, Trace, I know you care about me, but you don't need it."
Murphy shook his head and said:
"You're going to put me in a spiritual debt."
"You owe me a lot, Murphy, it's not a bad one, and of course I owe you a lot."
Tracey snorted, and started the ritual without giving Murphy a chance to refuse.
The black smoke poured out from the various items that were lit, and it seemed to take away some of the power in Tracey's body, and then under Tracey's manipulation, the black smoke gathered together to form a black round pearl.
It must have been uncomfortable, making Trace's cheeks pale, but as she said, with the power of the Golden One, such a little pain would not cause long-term damage.
Maybe all you need is a night's sleep to make up for the lost energy.
She handed the black pearl to Murphy and motioned for him to eat it.
Murphy couldn't refuse this kindness, he took it and put it in the palm of his hand to start the item identification:
Name: Power Transfer: Eternal
Grade: Disposable consumables
Effect: Transfer Trith's ancestral power [Eternal] to the user's body, after the transfer is completed, Trith's ancestral power will be weakened to its original form, and the user will gain the ability of the Eternal, which is also in its original state.
Item Description:
[The side effects of this thing are much bigger than you think, and it is by relying on it that Tracey survived under the plot of Salokdal, and this wave belongs to the witch who handed over her life-saving means to you.]
The hardest thing to suffer is the grace of the beauty, my poor alpha.
By the way, considering that you will most likely get something tonight, I suggest you go to the Family Planning Supplies Dispenser and pick up a 'safety kit' before you run errands. 】
"That's enough."
Murphy was a little numbed by the damn hint.
He glanced at Trace, who was resting on the chair in front of him, and swallowed the black pearl in his hand with his eyes closed.
The thing melted in his mouth and didn't smell anything, but as Murphy absorbed the power, he could hear some sounds from the waves, and there seemed to be phantom sounds ringing in his ears.
Without his own reaction, the Omega Purification Program was mobilized.
It was just a single contact that completely dispelled the thoughts of the evil god who tried to invade Murphy's consciousness through this ritual.
This is also the reason why Tracy dares to use this evil magic ritual to transfer power to Murphy, who is the only one on the continent who has the ability to be completely unaffected by the evil god ritual.
In the next moment, a prompt popped up in front of Murphy's eyes:
"The power is being accepted! Ancestral Power: Eternals has been obtained!
Vampires with the power of this ancestor will remain young forever and will not grow old until eternal death comes.
Vampires with the power of this Ancestor permanently increase their maximum health by 30%, and do not die immediately when taking critical damage, but suffer from the debuffs of rank slippage and power dissipation.
Before the state disappears, another fatal wound will result in eternal silence.
Prompt!
The Power of the Ancestors: The Eternals has been proven to be an essential part of the Golden Transcendental Law of Time, and it resonates wonderfully with the power that Infinite Mannis has bestowed upon you.
The duration of Celestial Acceleration and Astral Delay has been increased to 30 seconds, and the cooldown has been reduced to 8 hours.
The duration of Time Exile has been increased to 10 minutes, and energy cost has been reduced by 30%.
Prompt!
Ancestral Power: Eternals is a passive skill that cannot be practiced and cannot be used through practice, but can be strengthened by tapping into the vampire's ancestral power. ”
"You gave me your most important power, Trissy."
After Murphy obtained the Eternal's talent, his health bar skyrocketed by 30%, alleviating the weakness in his body a bit.
He stood up and walked over to Tracey's side, lifting the other man's coquettish face, and he saw Tracey's unconcealed exhaustion and suppressed pain.
The side effects of this ritual are absolutely significant.
"I'm just"
Tracey whispered:
"I almost lost you, Murphy, it turns out that the moment you fell, my already broken heart, I almost couldn't suppress the demon in my heart, and I almost made her appear again.
It's not that you need me, I need you too.
Luna's series of was already making me feel gazzy.
I really failed in the first half of my life, not only did I almost kill myself, but I was also an unqualified elder.
Luna is the demon I created, and I tried to turn her into another Scarlet Witch.
It turned out that my training was too successful.
I don't want you to suffer the same result. ”
"What more can I say? It seems that I'm not the only one in the Blood Vulture Clan who has psychological problems. ”
He hugged Tracey, and the Grand Duke stretched out his hand to hug him, as if holding something that had been lost and recovered, and she hugged it very tightly, for fear that Murphy would suddenly leave this world quietly like those strangers.
Murphy sensed the emotion, and he guessed that Triss might have discovered the "truth" about him.
But she would never say it.
It's a secret that belongs to both of them.
"You see, after the death, even if it was only for a second or two, I realized that the two of us had been wrestling with something strange."
Murphy kissed Tracey's earlobe, and he whispered:
"I think we should probably take the final step, you say?"
"You madman, did you just come back to life and think about doing bad things?"
Triss pushed Murphy away in disgust.
She complained:
"So what did death teach you? Do you have fun in time? ”
"It taught me to cherish the people in front of me, and it also taught me that men should take the initiative."
Murphy grabbed Tracey's fingers and pulled her up from the chair with a gentle force, but the next second, the Scarlet Witch turned around and pulled Murphy back into the chair.
She reached out and unfastened her clothes, and sat down on top of Murphy in a very strong posture, staring into those eyes.
She said:
"There are some things that you can't turn back from once you do them, and my troubles will become your troubles."
"We'll be tied together when I'm rescued, we'll be tied up when you're rescued, isn't it a little too late to say that?"
Murphy reached out and put his arm around Tracey's neck, pulling the delicate face of a midnight rose towards him.
The two kissed each other, like a spark rising up, detonating the gasoline called affection in one moment, and then the next moment, the fire burned the plain.
Tracey's slight cry of pain and Murphy's heavy breathing were intertwined, like a boat sailing on waves, lifted into the air and falling down by waves of waves, not knowing at which moment the ship would be wrecked and killed.
"Call Me By Name"
He looked at the Grand Duke in front of him who swayed like a dancing girl, and saw the scar in the dimly lit bedroom, and he didn't feel that the mark of the past had ruined Tracey's beauty.
He reached out and stroked the scar.
The action made Tracey tremble for a moment, and then Murphy pulled her around the neck, and whispered something in Tracey's ear after a hot kiss that even the vampires felt suffocated.
"Murphy."
Tracey responded immediately.
She threw her head up and bit Murphy's neck, like a vampire in her first embrace, and she gasped and said:
"You're my Murphy!"
"That's good."
