Valentine's Day is also New Year's Day... It has only been a few days, and everyone's life is back on track.
Even before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling came back from Europe.
Feng Bujue asked Xiao Tan why he didn't take his wife on their honeymoon? Xiao Tan said to him, "Actually, if you love the right person, Valentine's Day will be celebrated every day." Then Brother Jue played a trick on Xiao Tan.
Gorgeous combos that may not be seen in fighting games.
Later, Feng Bujue heard from Ruo Yu that there were two reasons for this: First, most of their relatives and friends came during the wedding. Everyone got together happily, and this year’s New Year was also celebrated.
There is no need to visit relatives; secondly, around the end of the year, the probability of various supernatural phenomena will increase significantly, which means...Jiu Ke will be very busy. So, Xiaotan, the "trainee" who has just joined Jiu Ke
, was called back by Section Chief Gu, and followed Bao Qing and Qi Zhi for "practical study".
After talking about these two objective reasons, Ruoyu added, "Besides, as long as couples love each other, every day is a honeymoon. Have you never heard of the saying, 'Actually, if you love the right person, every Valentine's Day will be a honeymoon."
Have you ever had it?"
Hearing this, Feng Bujue immediately complained: "When you guys speak such lines so confidently, you should know that you are just quoting lyrics, right? And the song is clearly called "Happy Breakup"! And... you are
You are the last person qualified to quote this sentence! Why are you discussing a stupid love with me before your seal is unlocked?"
After he finished speaking, Ruoyu unleashed a set of gorgeous combos that you might not even see in fighting games.
…………
In short, this year has passed in such a harmonious atmosphere.
During the Chinese New Year period, Dream Company was closed from New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year as previously notified.
Originally, Feng Bujue didn't think there was anything wrong with the game company having a New Year's holiday, but after chatting with Ruoyu, he combined it with the sentence "the probability of various supernatural phenomena will increase significantly around the end of the year"...
This holiday seems more reasonable.
In any case, on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Zero, Thriller Paradise, Crazy Thinking and Dream Company’s online mall were reopened on time without missing a second.
At the same time, the announcement that was released at the end of last month and has been hanging on the homepage of the official website: [The pre-selection rules for Thriller Paradise's "Peak Contest S" will be announced later this year] has finally been replaced.
The content that replaces it is exactly the instructions related to the Summit Contest S competition.
The "long-term competition system with a mix of individuals and teams" that has been pondering by major studios for nearly a month has finally surfaced.
Like the previous two times, the competition format this time once again surprised people.
First of all, in the S competition, you must form a team to participate. The number of teams is limited to seven people, and there are no substitutes.
Secondly, s actually had “no preliminaries”, or in other words, its “preliminary process” had already started at a time that no one knew about...
Nearly a year after the game was launched, Dream Company announced a shocking setting: In fact, from the earliest closed beta version, Thriller Park has always had a built-in "hidden points" mechanism.
The mechanism will give each character a certain score based on their "performance" in the script, and this score... this score that the players themselves don't even know about is actually one of the important basis for the system to generate the script process. That is to say
...It is directly related to the difficulty of the scenario this player has ranked.
"Hidden points" is not the same concept as the "player combat power ranking" in the early game, and the later "player comprehensive strength ranking"; for example, "a first-level player kills an enhanced zombie with bare hands" and "a five-level player kills an enhanced zombie with his bare hands"
"Level 10 players try their best to challenge a mini-boss", regardless of factors such as level, equipment, skills, etc., from the perspective of the parties involved, the difficulty experience is similar; although from the perspective of "combat strength" or "comprehensive
In terms of "strength", the two players are far apart, but the hidden score evaluation obtained by this behavior is not much different.
In addition, the "hidden score" is calculated as the "average score", not the total score. It does not mean that you can clear more scripts if you clear the level. According to Dream Company's attitude, this score is the system's way of judging the player's "comprehensive ability."
"High or Low" is the most accurate rating, because this is a scoring mechanism that has nothing to do with equipment or skills, and purely depends on the player's "performance".
Of course, players who occupy a high position in the power rankings generally have a low hidden score; even if a large part of the "hard power" of professional players can be supported by the studio, if their own abilities are not good enough, they will naturally
You won't get as many resources.
So... Now let’s go back and talk about the “no preliminaries” thing, it’s easier to explain.
Different from the previous two competitions that had both a "threshold" and a "preliminary" setting, this time, as long as the "threshold" is crossed, it will be a semi-final.
And this threshold is [the total hidden score of the seven members of the team exceeds 500]. As long as the team meets this condition, it can directly enter the knockout stage.
What is the general concept of "500 points"? Judging from the big data released by Dream Company this time, excluding players with unstable scores below level 10, the average hidden score of Thriller Park players is 6 points;
Anyone with a hidden score higher than this score can be regarded as having a level above the average.
Looking at it this way, even if there are seven players who are just at the average level, the total score of the team is already 44. Of course, such strength is not enough to qualify...
If you want to participate in the S competition, the average hidden score of the seven people in a team must reach at least 71.4. Since the score does not count decimals, it is basically the standard of 7 points per person.
Compared with s1 and s, the "threshold" this time has been lowered in a sense; if there is a person with a particularly high score in a team, for example, someone with a hidden score of more than 100 points, then
The requirements for other people will be correspondingly relaxed, which makes it possible for some people with less than 7 hidden points to participate.
After talking about the threshold, let’s talk about the competition system. The competition system is very simple. It takes the form of a knockout. In each round, all participating teams will be paired up to compete. The losing team will be directly eliminated, and the winning team will be promoted until there is only one team left.
Then of course he is the champion.
The matching method is "completely random", which means...even if the probability is very low, the possibility of a "Order vs. Gods" showdown in the first round is not impossible.
Also, if there is an odd number of teams in any round, then after the random matching is completed, the team that is alone will have a bye and automatically advance.
Such regulations... undoubtedly increase a lot of contingency. A very likely situation is that the strong professional teams under the studio will encounter each other in the first round and one team will be eliminated, while some casual player teams rely on
Defeat opponents who are worse than you, or get a bye... go further than the strong teams.
Major game studios must have some criticisms about this; but on the contrary, the majority of players are naturally happy to hear it.
There is a type of game in this world that makes money by extracting money from 1% of the most experienced players. The gameplay of this type of game is secondary, and the experience players get is completely determined by the amount of money invested. Except for those who have invested a lot of money
In addition to players, the remaining 99% of casual players are one of the functions provided by game companies to experienced players; for games like this, operators do not need to consider too much the experience or opinions of casual players.
Anyway, after making a quick buck, I shut down the server, changed the shell after a while, released a game that changed the soup without changing the medicine, and made money again.
But...Thrillerland is not such a game.
After the competition between s1 and s, Dream Company discovered a problem. In the competition, the "sense of participation" of ordinary players was too low.
According to the previous competition system, the vast majority of non-professional players were almost wiped out in the preliminaries. Except for extreme exceptions such as "Hell Front", other casual players... regardless of individuals or teams, even if they entered the semi-finals
They are all in one round. It can be said that from the start of the rematch, the competition has completely become a duel between various studios and individual professional players.
Although this is a normal phenomenon, and players also like to watch this kind of high-level competition, Dream Company still feels that... it needs to be changed.
Therefore, this new competition system, on the basis of ensuring that the level of participating players is "above average", gives the 99% of casual players a lot of room for performance; "the strongest team will win" does not mean
Change, the difference is... this time, various teams, casual players and weird players who had difficulty advancing in the previous competition system have the opportunity to appear.
Finally, let’s talk about the specific format of the competition.
"Peak Battle" is just like its name. Starting from S1, the theme of the competition is fighting, and this time is no exception. It will adopt a duel mode similar to S1 "Butterfly Battle" and the same competition system as the tennis team competition.
That is: three singles, two doubles, best of five games.
The first game is a 1v1 "Vanguard Battle".
The second game is v's "backbone battle".
The third game returns to 1v1 and is called "Joining the General Battle".
At this point, if a team has achieved three wins, then the game is over and there is no need to play the next two games.
If the winner has not yet been decided, then the fourth game, V’s “Vice Commander Battle” will follow.
If the first four games are tied at 2-2, there will be one last "big battle".
Calculated this way...to complete five games, exactly seven people are needed.
In addition, although the order of the above five games is fixed, the positions of the players can be changed in each game. For example, the person who is the vanguard in this game can be the general or play doubles in the next game. There is no limit; however;
...The appearance arrangements for each game must be submitted within ten minutes before the start of the game. Once the list is confirmed, substitutions cannot be made.
Seeing this, many people must have thought of it... Everyone has heard the story of "Tian Ji Horse Racing". If you can guess the opponent's formation before the game, it is not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong. And s
As always, the matching list for each round will be announced the day before the game or even earlier. This period of time is the time for both teams to engage in information warfare and formation games.
The above is almost the first wave of news about Summit Contest s released by Dream Company.
Feng Bujue read the relevant rules as soon as possible this time, but after reading it, a question immediately appeared in front of his eyes. There are only six people on the Hell Front. Where should he find the seventh member?
