Lin Luo and his friends made such a promise on the last dusk of the heroic city-state.
When the sunset completely sinks into the sky.
Lin Luo feels that version maintenance has begun.
This is the last night in this edition of the City of Heroes.
From now on, this version will exist only in memories.
He gradually felt an uncontrollable force slowly pushing himself out of this world.
I gradually detached myself from the world until everything in front of me became blurry.
Lin Luo suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was lying in the game cabin. The massage waves of the game cabin were soothing his body's fatigue.
"……call!"
Lin Luo looked at the time, it was now around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Of course he felt mentally exhausted, but fortunately he had a game cabin and solved the problem of eating by himself.
He hurriedly wiped his body with hot water, fell on the bed like a piece of brown sugar, and fell asleep soundly!
Maybe he worried too much about the game, causing him to dream even when he slept.
He dreamed of many impossible things. He turned into a pig with three wings, soaring slowly in the clouds. Then a man jumped out and chased him, killing him, and finally he fell to the ground.
, smashed into meatloaf...
"……ah!!!"
Lin Luo woke up suddenly, feeling like he had slept for half an hour.
But when I woke up, it was already four o'clock in the morning the next day!
"Oh no, I actually slept for more than ten hours?"
Lin Luo rubbed his eyes and felt that his mouth was dry and he felt dizzy, typical sequelae of an overnight stay.
He quickly went to get a glass of water, came back and turned on the computer to take a look.
At this time, the official forum and other related social platforms have exploded!
He opened WeChat on his phone and looked at it. Tata and Azijun had already started chatting.
Tata Kai: Sister Azi, have you had a rest?
Azijun: Have a rest. Have you checked the official website for major version updates?
Tatakai: I didn’t have time to see it.
Only then did Lin Luo remember the big version update.
No need to think about it, this is definitely the most important thing at the moment!
All players must pay attention to the version updates of this game!
He quickly clicked on the official website, and sure enough, the version update page was clearly displayed on the cover of the home page.
"New World Hero City 1.10 Major Update Contents and Trailer Promotional Video"
Lin Luo clicked on the page and saw that the updated content of this new version was simply huge, consisting of a text version and a video version.
The text version is the specific updated content.
The video version is a trailer for the next version.
Lin Luo looked at the huge information content in the text version. The first was the cordial greetings from the "Nine Pandas", the master planner of the Hero City game.
'Hello to all the adventurers who follow the Hero City of "New World".'
‘I was planning ‘Nine Pandas’, and I didn’t expect to meet the adventurers again.’
‘It’s hard to imagine that the 1.01 version of the public beta is progressing so fast. This caught our planning team off guard. We sincerely feel the players’ unstoppable enthusiasm and vigorous positive spirit.’
'With the 1.01 version of "Legends Rise, Ashes Fall", the second brand new version is about to appear. We will officially release the second version of 1.10 at 16:00 on July 25. The following are the new contents of the new version.'
Next are the very familiar three elements of version update.
The first element is naturally the updated content of the game.
The new version adds feature one:
Server merge.
"In the first version, the designers separated the server not only for technical testing reasons, but also for the experience of ordinary civilian players, so as to avoid various forces fighting soon after the server was launched, and expert players forming teams to seize the upgrade area, etc.
The occurrence of this behavior will undoubtedly cause huge harm to innocent ordinary players, and they may even be persuaded to quit before they are familiar with the game."
"We decided to merge the entire server in version 1.10. Many ordinary players have already had psychological expectations. They have also found their own partners, and at least they have a place in the future game environment."
…
The new version adds feature two:
The difficult time is paused.
“Considering that more and more players may be exposed to difficult tasks or events in future versions, we have added a ‘time pause’ function to the game.”
"When adventurers are performing some extremely difficult tasks or dungeons, the captain can initiate a 'time pause'. All dungeons or task activities will be suspended for 1-5 hours to allow players to get enough rest time. This function is available every time
It can only be used once per calendar day (natural game day: 48 hours)."
…
The new version adds three functions:
Central, affiliated auction house.
"With the arrival of the server merger, all players will exist on one server. Players are destined to be unable to rely solely on shops and merchants to trade. In order to avoid this situation, we have opened the central auction house. The central auction house exists in the Hero City. All players
All can be used, and adventurers need to know the specific information by themselves."
"In addition, there will also be affiliated auction houses in the city-states of Demacia and Noxus that will be opened soon, but they can only be used in the city-states."
…
The new version adds four functions:
Pets, mount system
"With the arrival of the server merger and the two major city-states, adventurers can set foot in a wider area. Do the poor adventurers really have to walk on their feet? - Of course not, you can now obtain it in various ways.
Mount, your mount will become your companion when crossing mountains and ridges!"
"Considering that many lifestyle players have relatively few entertainment options, a variety of thoughtful and cute pets have begun to come online. Lifestyle players can raise and cultivate pet eggs to provide suitable pets for other adventurers."
"Tip: Regardless of pets or mounts, they can be obtained or exploded from the corresponding rare locations, and the explosion rates vary."
"Tip: The levels of pets and mounts are the same as the regular levels in the game."
…
The new version adds five features:
Noxus and Demacia regions open
"Adventurers who are familiar with the League of Legends universe should know that there are various mysterious and ancient city-states in Runeterra, among which the city-states of Demacia and Noxus are the most famous."
"In the major event of the last version, all adventurers who chose the military camp, you were welcomed by the city-state of Noxus. After level 20, you can freely enter and exit this city-state."
"In the major event of the last version, all adventurers who chose the federal camp, the city-state of Demacia is willing to accept your visit. You can freely enter and exit this city-state after level 20."
"Tip: Players from both camps can theoretically enter the other side's city-state, but you must go through a series of difficulties. Adventurers need to explore this on their own."
…
The new version adds six features:
Player transfer function
"After experiencing the baptism of a version, all combat, life, and merchant players who have reached level 20 can transfer to various professions through different job transfer tasks."
"Tip: Each player can visit the corresponding legendary hero, become his (her, it's) disciple, and learn the power of job transfer. This difficulty is very high."
"Tip: You can also transfer to a rarer hidden profession, but you must pass a more difficult job transfer task."
…
The new version adds seven features:
Legion system
"I believe that most players have fantasized about those magnificent union landscapes, fierce and exciting union wars, and the happy union atmosphere."
"The legion system is an organization similar to a labor union in Hero City, but the reason why it is called a 'legion' rather than a 'union' is that it only requires players to form their own legions and slowly explore the secrets. This may be the most frustrating thing about version 1.10.
A brand new feature that makes people’s blood boil.”
…
The above are the updated contents of the seven major games in the new version.
In addition, there are many very small contents that players need to explore on their own.
…
After reading so much, Lin Luo finally understood how big an update this version was.
Many new features have appeared, including pet mounts, job-changing NPCs, and legions, two major city-states...
"Let's slowly explore these things in the game and continue to look at the second element."
The second element of version update.
It’s the balance of various professions in the game.
'As the war in the heroic city-state came to an end, the adventurers encountered various tasks and monsters, and the five major professions each played their own role.'
'Our designers found that the powerful archer profession was particularly outstanding in the first version. A certain archer player who was too strong even completed a hidden level event mission, which forced us to re-examine the strength of this profession.
, maybe we should make some adjustments to this ruthless hunter.'
The following are version highlights, adjustments to the entire game and major professions.
"The intensity of the shooter profession will cause too terrible damage to a calm and skilled player, and players with rich financial resources don't seem to worry about consumption at all. Maybe we should make some adjustments to the data."
"The professional passivities of level 8 and 16 of all shooter professions have been adjusted. The attack range of the archer has been weakened to 30 meters. If the gunner's firepower bursts too long, the attack power of the gun will be reduced. The load consumption and fatigue value consumption of the gunner will be increased.
, which allows them to have high output but at the same time have to bear corresponding risks.”
"The headshot damage of all shooter professions will have an independent cooldown of two seconds. They can no longer output endless headshots."
"The shooter's skill percentage has been adjusted to a certain extent, reducing the blessing of the physical panel."
Lin Luo frowned and looked around, and was so angry that he almost punched the computer screen to pieces!
Dog than designer balances on feet.
The three balances are, to put it mildly, adjustments, but to put it bluntly they are all weakening.
The first one weakens the marksman profession's passive, the second one weakens the sustain damage, and the third one reduces the burst damage of the skill.
But what is very puzzling is that the designer independently strengthened the damage of the crossbowman.
This made Lin Luo very confused. Is it to save the sewer profession?
As expected, Lin Luo scrolled to the bottom of the announcement, and the comments from players were filled with curses.
"You motherfucker designers, shooter players are all your dads!"
"If the shooter player cuts the dps, you will fight? Come on, you can fight. I won't fight anymore. Are you satisfied?"
"I'm anxious upstairs. How do you rate the enhancements to mages and warriors in the new version?"
"I, a priest, would like to say something fair. I can accept cutting down on battery life and burst. Why should I cut down on professional passives, especially the archer's range? Those stupid archers in my group die several times every time they play. This
Wouldn’t it make you die faster if you go back and slash again? By the way, what is the explosion rate of that Sima’s resurrection skill? Why doesn’t any priest I know explode it?”
"The grumpy girl upstairs! The Shield Warrior would like to ask if the movement speed can be increased. This profession is too slow to run!"
Lin Luo took a rough look.
Among the five major professions, only the marksman profession has been weakened, especially the gunner and archer.
The intensity of shield combat remains unchanged, the output of swordsmen and ax combat is greatly enhanced, and the chip warrior is also greatly enhanced.
All mages have their mana consumption reduced.
The strength of the priest has not changed, and the strength of the assassin has not changed.
…
After reading the adjustments to the professional balance, Lin Luo saw the final third element.
This element is the final trailer, which is the video version.
Lin Luo dragged the webpage to the bottom and saw a promotional video.
This should be the trailer for the next version.
Lin Luo clicked on the video and enlarged it to full screen. This video was more than twenty minutes long, which showed that a lot of thought was put into its production.
There was no picture on the dark screen, as if everything had fallen into darkness.
Lin Luo thought for no reason that when he was offline before.
Just when the sun sets into the sky, darkness falls on the world.
As time went by, a ray of dawn rose from the east, and the morning sun fell on the earth. Lin Luo suddenly felt like watching a documentary, because this heavy and vicissitudes of life gradually became more solemn.
The camera gradually rises with the perspective of Hero City, exciting shouts erupt from the earth, and the terrifying Ash King descends into the world.
Lin Luo reacted suddenly.
This video is exactly the day the players were fighting the Federation Guard Battle!
He saw a roaring archer standing on the world crystal. He raised his bow and arrow and shouted:
"Brothers! I will defend the World Crystal!!"
"The big event is over, the Federation will definitely win! By then everyone will make a lot of money, and everyone will have explosive rewards!!!"
obviously.
The person in the video is himself.
Lin Luo watched quietly. This scene was added to the trailer, and it must have its purpose.
As soon as the screen turned, the players began to attack the King of Ashes crazily.
With unlimited firepower and countless flying cannons, the King of Ashes is under a fatal threat!
He unleashed the roar of the blue dragon, and the arrow that never stopped rose into the sky, breaking through all the dark clouds and distances, and gradually turned into a divine light that penetrated the heaven and the earth!
This scene.
It was the scene of Lin Luo and all federal players slaying the evil dragon.
Lin Luo glanced at the video, only less than a third of it had passed, and there was obviously new content behind it.
The huge arrow that never stops pierces through the sky and the earth endlessly.
Lin Luo's perspective became higher and higher, and he saw the entire layout of Rune Land, the huge snowfield with frost all year round, the roaring waves, the island shrouded in black mist, the mysterious and ancient Eastern Holy Land...
The scene changes!
The land near the sea in the far west.
A solemn and pure white city appeared in the field of vision.
In the city-state, countless people looked up at the divine light that penetrated the sky, with shocked expressions in their eyes.
"The power of legend."
In the quiet and spacious grand square, a tall and majestic man wearing pure white armor holds a huge and majestic sword in his right hand, looking up at the divine light.
"I didn't expect this newborn city to have such a powerful force."
Heavy and soft footsteps sounded, and two figures walked from the back of the square.
One of them was wearing golden armor and a crown on his head.
His face was strong and handsome, and his body was tall and straight. All the people respected him and performed the most respectful etiquette.
The figure following him was slim and graceful, with a blue cloak hood draped over her shoulders.
She suddenly felt an unprecedented powerful force being generated in the distance, and the divine light that penetrated the heaven and earth shattered everything. She raised her head, revealing her delicate and bright face, and the glimmer of light reflected in her sky-blue eyes.
She saw the King of Ashes at the end of the clouds.
She exclaimed:
"Look, it's the Destroyer - the Lord of Ashes!"
The general in silver armor raised his head and sighed:
"Yes, Lux. This evil dragon came to the new city-state and lost his life because of it."
The girl said in disbelief:
"This city-state has only been established for five years, but it actually destroyed the Ash Dragon?"
at this time.
The majestic man wearing a crown closed his eyes and seemed to feel something.
He suddenly opened his eyes and murmured to himself with a solemn expression:
"Another dragon-slaying warrior!"
…
Behind the distant eastern mountains of Hero City.
The sky is a heavy color that is hard to dissipate all day long.
A majestic empire full of oppression and iron-blooded atmosphere stands here.
The old voice hidden in the dark hall said with some disbelief:
"What? There is someone in that emerging city-state who can actually kill the King of Ashes?"
Another lazy and charming voice said:
"This is a force that cannot be underestimated. That emerging city-state may become our enemy, or it may become our ally, but the prerequisite for both is that we must understand them."
Boom!
The dark door was kicked open by violence.
Countless lights and shadows scattered in the hall.
The burly general holding a giant ax faced the violent sunlight with his back, causing his face to be dark, with only the dark figure surging with burning evil aura like a god of death.
He rumbled in and said in a decisive tone:
"No need to discuss, I have given the order, and the Noxian diplomatic mission has already set off!"
The other two voices were dissatisfied and said:
"You should obtain our consent before giving the order, Darius!"
The latter snorted coldly, and the huge ax hit the ground with a bang:
"I don't need anyone's consent!"
The burly general's voice was as cold as a prison, and he could not refute:
"Because only I can lead us to victory!"
…
"This is Demacia and Noxus."
Lin Luo could see it at a glance without even thinking about it.
These two familiar architectural city-states are so recognizable.
"That is to say...from the perspective of the residents of the second world, the City of Heroes successfully killed the King of Ashes and proved its strength to everyone."
Only if each other's strength is equal, or not much different, can there be fairness and reciprocity between countries, at least in Runeterra.
The strength of Hero City has finally been recognized by the two major city-states.
They border each other, make alliances, and test each other. This is the subsequent plot of the second version.
All subsequent events are no longer limited to the Hero City, but involve events in three huge city-states.
version of the trailer, it’s not over yet.
The last twenty seconds were frozen in the sky above the heroic city-state.
At this time, the stars are changing, and the cycle of time is turning rapidly.
Viewed from a grand God's perspective, everything in the heroic city-state began to become orderly and progressive.
The powerful new force has led to more and more wanderers, aliens, and mysterious figures joining the heroic city-state.
The development speed of the heroic city-state is so fast that it is unimaginable!
The territory here gradually expanded. More and more envoys from various countries and mysterious aliens poured into it. The territory began to expand to double, twice, four times, eight times...
This new city-state, which was not famous at first, has gradually become majestic and majestic, making people admire it.
I don't know when it will start.
A force called the 'City of Heroes' gradually emerged in Runeterra.
It stands in the center of the entire Runeterra, like a thriving tree, gradually becoming taller and stronger.
The last moment of the picture.
Berent appeared in front of the World Crystal in the center of the main city.
The presidents of the five major trade unions chanted ancient and obscure mantras together.
This huge world crystal began to gradually emit flashes of light, and finally emitted a ray of light that shot straight into the sky!
Berrent shouted devoutly:
"Warriors from another world, welcome to the heroic city-state again!"
There was a snap, and the screen fell into darkness again.
The trailer ends here.
…
"interesting……"
Lin Luo watched the trailer repeatedly, and there were many metaphorical details in it.
He didn't see these details the first time, but he gradually discovered them after thinking about them.
After checking the time, I still felt sleepy, so I took another nap until I started taking it.
Lin Luo fell down with his head down, and when he woke up again, his brain was much clearer.
He opened the group and found that Tata Maotou and the others had already played the game and were constantly posting screenshots to the group. He was very happy.
"Shit! Overslept!!"
Lin Luo quickly washed his face and ran to the game cabin, where the game began to load gradually.
