As the old saying goes, the first month of the year is still in the middle of the year.
Of course, that is an old saying... For most people nowadays, "Chinese New Year" is roughly equivalent to "holiday", and "holiday"... is likely to be over by the third day of the Lunar New Year, and at most it will only leave you
They rest until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year; even students who are on winter vacation have to start school again around the Lantern Festival.
Therefore, in modern people's concept, the second half of the "first month" is a very ordinary day, when you should do whatever you want.
But...the seven people on Hell's Frontline don't have to think about that.
Either their working hours are not fixed, or they can't work. There is also a professional gamer who has not signed a contract yet, and his job is to play games...
In short, these guys...have a lot of online time.
In order to prepare for S3, everyone is very serious this time. Even Miss An, who has to work in the company during the day, has also found a way to adjust her working hours (actually, I just told my family that I will only work half a day starting from tomorrow).
, you decide your own commuting time) so that you can play games with your teammates during the day and strengthen your running-in.
According to the announcement released by Dream Company, the registration time limit for S3 is one month. The registration starts at the moment when the S3 competition system is announced, that is, at midnight on February 21, 2056; at midnight on March 20, 2056, the registration system
will be closed. At that time, the system will immediately randomly match all registered teams and generate a list of matches for the first round of the S3 knockout round; and twenty-four hours after the list is announced, the first round of competition will officially begin.
Like the previous two competitions, this "one-month" registration preparation period is undoubtedly another conspiracy of the game company to make money...
Needless to say, the group of upper-level players who are determined to participate will definitely have to increase their investment. When everyone is spending money to increase their strength, if you still maintain the usual rhythm, it is equivalent to regressing.
Once this trend comes, the transaction volume of the official mall and auction house will definitely surge again. Not only can Dream Company recover a large amount of game coins from players, but it can also earn a large amount of percentage-based income during this period of overall price increase in the auction house.
Commission transaction taxes and fees.
In addition, the "extra recharge" income for casual players is also a focus of this operation.
At this stage, the largest player group in Thriller Paradise is the group of ordinary casual players with a hidden score between 55-75 and a level of 45-50; these players are usually motivated by "relaxation, excitement, and fun."
They play with the mentality of "making friends", etc. They entered the game earlier and the online time is relatively fixed, but... they don't have a strong will to improve the strength of the game characters.
Because Thriller Park will generate scripts suitable for its hidden segments based on factors such as player level, investment, and even personality, whether such purely casual players are above average will not affect their gaming experience (Snowner
Except for characters who have been trained up to level 40 by others).
However, now, the situation is different... S3's completely random matching rules greatly increase the chances of ordinary players to advance; theoretically speaking, if there is an extreme phenomenon where "the promotion routes of all professional giants converge before the semi-finals"
, then it is not impossible for a "civilian team" to win the runner-up...
Under such stimulation, the enthusiasm of casual players for S3 can be said to be unprecedentedly high; although everyone also understands that that "theory" is just a theory, similar to "After the World Cup qualifying group is completed, fans first
After calculating the score, I feel that the national football team can theoretically qualify this time." This kind of mentality...
But no matter what...people all have dreams.
Besides, there is no registration fee for the games in Thriller Park, so you don’t lose anything by participating in the game. If you lose, you will be eliminated in one round, but if you win a game, you can win for half a year.
Dream Company has captured this mentality and specially set aside this "month" so that players whose "hidden points" are not enough to qualify for the competition can improve their scores.
As long as casual players prolong the game time, "get serious" and play with a different mentality, their hidden points can indeed be improved in the short term. Once people start to "play games seriously", they invest appropriately.
It's normal to put some money in... After all, Thriller Park is a game with economic and age thresholds. Almost all players in this kind of game have the ability to make money. It's just a matter of more or less.
…………
If there is a book, it will be long; if there is no book, it will be short.
In the next month, nothing special happened. Everyone on the Hell Front also steadily improved their strength.
During this period, Feng Bujue still played more solo queues, because the other six people could just form a team; and, it has to be said that Brother Jue was indeed a team cancer... When he was in the team, it would be better to increase the difficulty of the script.
Secondly, the key is that many of his decisions and resourcefulness will also affect the normal flow of the script.
Therefore, this month, Feng Bujue is mostly still playing solo.
Of course, it doesn't matter to Brother Jue whether he's playing alone or playing in a group; he can handle any mode or script, but... there's a situation that makes him feel very weird.
That is...as mentioned above, "nothing special happened."
For Feng Bujue... this is the most bizarre thing.
When the end of this "gamble" is coming, at the end of this "candidate game", everything seems so calm.
Woody himself didn't come to contact him, and he didn't send Molly Aoi (aka Arthas) to bring him a message or anything; Vincent, Simon and the gang didn't come to contact him; the guys in Paradise didn't make any move at all either.
…
Not only in the real world, but also in the game world...
Since the last "Monster Kingdom Defense", in the past month, including other members of Hell Front, Feng Bujue and none of them have arranged a script that takes place in the main universe of Thriller Paradise; but from the comments on the forum,
Judging from the reaction, the system should not have stopped generating scripts with the main universe as the background, because other players have participated.
Brother Jue tried forming a team with players outside the club, and also tried queuing various books with only nightmare difficulty... but he just couldn't.
There is no way to enter the main universe, and there is no chance to enter the other world. Even the derivatives have never been encountered... The horror paradise Yue Feng Bujue played this month was extremely "normal", so normal that he doubted whether he had opened it.
Wrong way.
And this phenomenon also made Feng Bujue understand that this time... something big might really happen.
I won’t mention those existences in the game world, but even Woody and his gang of gods and demons couldn’t send even a single word... This shows that some more powerful force has intervened and taken control of the overall situation.
