In the past few days, the game forum has become even more popular than the day the public beta started.
During the two months of Thriller Paradise's open beta, the number of registered players has exceeded three million. As soon as the server was cleared, these players naturally gathered in the forum.
Of course, at least 60% of them are purely casual players. These people just play casually after work and study. They only browse forums for more than ten minutes and then turn off.
The other 30% are die-hard players who are keen on this game. They usually go online whenever they have time, and are very interested in game-related information and information. The active participants on the forum are basically these people.
The last 10% are naturally industry insiders. For example, studio players, individual professional players, studio employees, Internet trolls, etc... These people are generally the leaders of topics and trends on the forum.
For them, this forum is a battlefield without smoke, words are their bullets, and information is the barrel of their guns. The battle here is far more dangerous than in the game...
"Hype", "public opinion guidance", etc., it's hard to say, but it's not difficult to say...it's not too difficult either.
The more classic cases include:
A and B are yelling at each other, but the essence is to compliment each other.
A keeps praising B, and then is quickly slapped in the face by C. This is actually A and C cheating on B together.
Person A scolds Person B as if his intelligence and face have both collapsed, but in essence he is trying to bring trouble to Person C.
A deliberately provoked B's fan C, but was finally slapped hard in the face by C with actual actions. However, in fact, A and C may both be fans of B, and the three of them just performed together.
In short, there are various techniques, each with its own merits. Some can achieve the goal, and some cannot. Some are so clever that you help count the money after being deceived, and some are so low-end that passers-by will see through them at a glance and be left speechless.
There is no doubt that cyber trolling is also a science, a very dark and in-depth knowledge.
This is a game of IQ and EQ between one group of people and another group of people. And the people they want to win over and influence are those who follow public opinion and are incapable of thinking for themselves or are too naive.
"[Vote! Who do you think is the real champion!]..." Feng Bujue looked at a voting post prefixed with the word "hot" and said with a smile, "Ha... Who are the people who are eating this bowl of rice? Are you still here?
It’s really hard work…”
At a glance, you can tell that this kind of post is the work of studio staff, and most likely it was done by "Order" or "Gods". Anyway, "Stars" will definitely not post this kind of post. The most they can do is let their own people edit it.
Enter the post and everyone will vote for Tianmaxing...
There is also a hot post. The title is: [Dream Corporation tampered with the rules midway, and there are many shady secrets in the peak competition. A rematch is inevitable!] This looks very much like the style of Corpse Knife.
It is worth mentioning that there are signs that [Corpse Knife is King], the number one master of Corpse Knife, seems to have left Corpse Knife Studio. His photos and information have been removed from Corpse Knife's official website. Horror
In the park, the character "The Corpse Knife is King" has also been deleted.
This incident has caused quite a stir among people in the industry. In addition to being interested in the reasons for his resignation, people are more concerned about his whereabouts. If he does not retire or change careers, then where will he go? Yes
Join another studio, or become an individual professional player? Is there a clause similar to "non-compete" in the contract that Corpse Blade terminated with him?
Although he worked in Corpse Knife and his reputation is not very good. But in business, if he is really capable, other studios will definitely not turn him away. When the time comes, he will use "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" and "the prodigal son turns back."
If you repackage it with words like ", he is still a star player, and he can also hack the Corpse Knife...kill two birds with one stone.
"Well... although there are a lot of posts, the smell of gunpowder is not very strong." Feng Bujue scrolled through the posts for a while, and he soon discovered that the hot topics related to the competition were basically posted by various trolls.
They are competing against each other. But the focus of most players has already shifted to the "new version".
It seems that Woody's method of pretending to defeat Guo and secretly tricking Chen Cang is really effective. Taking advantage of the big changes in this version update, all the sequelae left by the game and the secrets of the existence of the derivatives have been revealed.
"But... 90% of the posts are still serious nonsense..." Feng Bujue continued to scroll through the posts and saw a lot of interesting things.
Many posts are very funny just by looking at the titles. For example, [My opinion on the free exploration mode], [Is it really that difficult to kill a derivative? Let me teach you!] and so on... Even if you are a novice, you can also
It's impossible to believe this purely yy strategy.
There are also some regret posts, such as [I should have sold such and such equipment earlier if I had known better], [It seems that the price of equipment will not fall]. These people are quite reliable, at least they have seen that "
The impact of the "Equipment Binding" setting will be brought about. In the future, there will no longer be a situation where "a piece of equipment is used from level one to more than ten levels, and when it is used up, it can be listed in the auction house for money."
Obviously, this "sudden" version update of Thriller Paradise has objectively nipped in the cradle the "pre-update trend" that is common in many other online games.
After reading the posts aimlessly for a while, Feng Bujue began to deal with the short messages on the forum.
The number of messages received in his forum account will never be less than in the game mailbox... After all, he is a celebrity...
Fortunately, the forum SMS box and the in-game mailbox have a "smart association" function, and the blocking lists are interoperable. In other words, those who are blocked by Brother Jue in the game will also be blocked in the forum.
However, despite this... Feng Bujue's text message box still accumulated tens of thousands of text messages. He just scanned and scanned, deleted and deleted, and turned through hundreds of pages before he saw the message Xu Huaishang sent to him a few days ago.
My own news. Now that the finals have been played, these words have no meaning. However, at least they show that Goddess Xu has a good character.
…………
On the morning of June 2nd, Dream Company finally gave the latest announcement on the official website: [The server will be opened again at 0:00 on June 3rd, and the updated version is v1.10 - Derivative Invasion. ]
As soon as this news came out, Internet trolls announced that they were off work. Major game studios immediately returned their attention to the game... The opening of the new version means that there is still a lot of work to be done, and they have not
I no longer have enough energy to dwell on the battle for supremacy that has passed.
Anyway, after these two months, all organizations or individuals engaged in the game industry, ranging from Order and Gods to Ice Emperor and individual players, have all seen it... "Dream Company"'s attitude towards the outside world can be basically summarized.
Three sentences: 1. A dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water; 2. If you like to play or not, it is useless to blackmail me; 3. If you dare to kick your nose in the face, I will kill you.
In front of such an operator, all unconventional means...are just a cloud.
…………
June 3rd, midnight.
Feng Bujue logged into the game in sleep mode.
Recently, in order to exercise, he adjusted his biological clock and started to pay attention to his diet. Therefore, by twelve o'clock in the evening, he must have fallen asleep...
"Players ranked tenth to fourth will randomly receive three skill cards corresponding to their highest level specialization, four random skill cards for other specializations, and a skill value of 5,000 points..." Feng Bujue logged in as soon as he logged in.
Space. He murmured in his mouth, "Hmph...Brother, today will happen too!"
As a man who has been abandoned, abandoned and despised by the God of Luck, it is such a joy to be able to get seven skill cards at once...
He couldn't wait to open his mailbox, and sure enough, the prize email was highlighted and placed at the top of the mailbox interface.
[Congratulations. You have achieved the tenth place in the Peak Contest.] The title of this email is also very pleasing to the eye.
The attachment to the email is seven skill cards. As for the five thousand skill points, Feng Bujue had already opened the menu and looked at them just now, and added them when he entered the login space.
At present, Feng Bujue's strongest specialization is fighting. After the peak battle, his fighting specialization has reached A level. Therefore, he got three fighting skill cards at once. But...his bad luck.
It manifested itself at this moment, because his other four skill cards were two for reconnaissance and two for medical treatment.
Except for fighting specialization, Brother Jue's specializations are 1b, 4c, and 2d, and he just picked the skills of the two relatively weakest specializations...
Fortunately, these skill cards are not bound. He can give them to his teammates on the Hell Front for use. If no one wants to use them, he can sell them. Otherwise, half of his prizes would be useless...
"Hmm... an ominous premonition." Feng Bujue just glanced at the specialization categories of skills and felt something bad at that time.
He is a person who prepares for the worst in everything, so he has considered several worse situations before. For example... all the skills he drew were F-level.
It's not impossible... The prize terms say "randomly obtain three skill cards corresponding to the highest level of 'specialization' and four random skill cards of other specializations." The point of this sentence is...
'Specialization' corresponds to. Not to 'highest level'.
Therefore, in theory, it is possible for a player to draw seven all S-level skill cards, or it is possible that all seven of them are F-level skill cards...
This reward related to character is really interesting. If someone really gets seven S-level skills at once, then the improvement he gets may be greater than the top three. Even if four of these seven cards are permanently learned,
No, he can also exchange it for money, or give it to teammates in the same club.
But if someone has a very bad character and gets seven F-level skills... then this reward is really pitiful. It can even be said that it is not even as good as the reward for 100-51st place... those ten double experience cards
, 20,000 game coins, and limited edition T-shirts, the total value is definitely higher than ten F-level skills. Fortunately, the top ten still have 5,000 skill points to get, at least this thing is in hard currency.
It will never depreciate in value.
"No way..." Feng Bujue put aside the four cards of the medical and reconnaissance specialties and started to look at the first of the three combat skill cards:
[Name: Gangjiao]
[Skill card attributes: active skills, permanent mastery]
[Skill Category: Fighting]
[Effect: Issue a weak long-range slash (cooling time of fifteen seconds)]
[Note: The strong wind generated by the high-speed kick evolves into a vacuum slash. ps: This skill really has nothing to do with Lan Jia! 】
"It's strange that there is no talent!" Feng Bujue roared and complained, "This is a complete copycat! The consumption is one-tenth of Lan Jiao, and the power is probably not even one-tenth! And it's damn...
Is there a fifteen-second cooldown?”
This skill really doesn't need to be considered before you can give it up...
Brother Jue is an A-level combat expert and possesses the genuine Lan Jiao. There is absolutely no need to learn this copycat version of Gang Jiao. Besides... players only have twelve skill bars in total, and Feng Bujue has already equipped them.
With eleven skills, it's impossible to bring this one along.
"Okay! That's right! One-seventh of the prize is wasted..." Feng Bujue muttered, "In a sense...it's one-third." He raised his head, not knowing who he was talking to.
"Ah~ I thought someone was protecting me... It seems I misunderstood? You don't want to win the bet, do you?"
Of course...it's impossible for anyone to pay attention to his rogue-like behavior.
"Hmm..." Feng Bujue waited for a few seconds and saw no response, so he had to give up. He was just giving it a try anyway.
Turning his eyes again, he picked up the second fighting skill card...
[Name: Naughty Child’s Legs]
[Skill card attributes: active skills, permanent mastery]
[Skill Category: Fighting]
[Effect: Ignore the specialization level, 100% trip all monsters that can theoretically fall, and provoke the opponent to attack you (no cooldown time)]
[Remarks: You are a naughty blue cat who is kicking you three thousand times!]
"Ha! Ha! Ha! The sky...oh no...the underworld has eyes!" Feng Bujue laughed three times. It seemed that he was still very satisfied with this skill.
That's right, this is the permanent version of [Baby's Whip Kick] that can be learned at F level and can only be used three times. This is a typical "strategic" skill, with an A level rating and a consumption of up to 500 physical energy points.
, enough to illustrate its value.
"Uh-huh..." Feng Bujue quickly stopped his smile, "You have to be calm...calm down...don't lose your composure due to great sadness or joy. I can't express my emotions and anger..."
It's strange to say that when in front of others, Feng Bujue can naturally excel in acting...but when he is alone, he will show his secondary side from time to time. This may be because he lives alone at home and has been doing this for a long time.
The sequelae of "Chuuni Cuisine".
"Okay... As long as the third card doesn't cheat..." Feng Bujue finally picked up the last fighting specialization card and put it in front of his eyes.
[Name: Wild Ball Fist lv1]
[Skill card attributes: active skills, permanent mastery]
[Skill Category: Fighting]
[Effect: Put out both fists together and launch a melee attack against the enemy directly in front (can be launched at will without target, cooling time is one hour; limited to three times in each scenario, unlimited use in free exploration mode)]
[Note: This skill will be upgraded due to the increase in the number of uses. Every sixty punches can be upgraded by one level, for a total of ten levels.]
