"Ding! Congratulations on completing the plot mission [Loyalty to the Black Hint]. You have gained 2,000,000 experience points, 300 gold coins, and a random piece of level 50 purple jewelry."
When I think about Chu Tian's way to complete this task, which is also the only way, I understand what he means.
Yes, this task is impossible for most players
Because... the rhythm in the game is messed up
Due to the player's own rigidity and bloodthirsty, everything is in chaos
Chu Tian analyzed all the information he had obtained in detail, but he always felt that there was still something missing.
I'll clarify it again, and it's still like this after simulating it several times.
A very crucial step is always missing
The plot flow is relatively simple
First talk to Mrs. Aurora and ask her to join your team. Then go to the witch hut to receive the fine steel coin quest. Then go to the dragon fly nest to kill the hard dragon fly to obtain the "Devil's Eye" item needed in the witch hut.
This is also a difficult point in the mission. I believe that 30% of the weak player team will be wiped out in front of the hard dragon fly boss. It requires very skilled cooperation and a certain spirit of sacrifice.
Then take the 5,500 fine steel coins you obtained and go to the mountain fortress to upgrade Aurora's 10 vampires and skeleton soldiers.
Actually this is a trap
Of course that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t upgrade
But it doesn’t matter which player upgrades. These upgraded vampires and skeletons play almost no role in the battle in Glory City. How can you say that the opponent has 3,000 monsters plus a priest boss?
So what do they do?
Help Aurora upgrade and reduce players' consumption in the upgrade process of Aurora!
To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of cannon fodder
Did you hear something wrong?
Yes, this link is prepared for those players who are relatively weak. If a strong team like Chutian comes in to do this plot mission, they can completely skip the side mission of upgrading Aurora's troops and directly cover her.
Just upgrade to level 51
Aurora's level is already at the critical level of 50 to 51. You can complete the upgrade by killing just a few groups of monsters.
After upgrading, she must! Definitely! Will! Learn basic siege skills, which is another key point in the mission.
The purpose of this key point is to knock down two arrow towers and... a city wall
The purpose is to allow players to successfully enter the city
At this point in the plot mission, it can be said that 70% is completed.
The remaining 30% is the most difficult part of this mission. It can be said that 99% of the teams will be wiped out at this place. As long as they do not meet one condition, they will be wiped out countless times if they do it countless times.
Let’s not talk about why for now, let’s talk about another question first
Speaking of which, do you feel like the players have no role in this plot?
If we talk about hard dragon flies, players can completely skip them and not fight them.
If Aurora is brought up to level up, she will have enough cannon fodder to make the war in Glory City a little more stressful, but the actual problem will not be big.
In this way, what role do players play?
A lackey who follows behind to watch the show?
Then why did Aurora say at first that the player will help her complete this task?
When Chu Tian thought about this place, he suddenly understood why even such a strong team as Sister Hong could not make it through eighteen times.
The reason is that a key condition is missing
The passing conditions provided by the plot mission are incomplete, and players need to fill in the last one by themselves.
That's why Chu Tiancai said that the rhythm of the hero world is now chaotic.
Hero World is a role-playing game imitating Invincible Heroes
After level 30, mercenaries of various races will be provided for players to hire.
In addition to players needing to master the corresponding military ranks, they also need to possess a very crucial thing...
followers
That is, the hero who can truly lead troops in Heroes of Invincibility
If Chu Tian guessed correctly, according to the game designer's concept, the first follower should appear when the player is level 30, even if the strength will be very poor
It's a pity that at that time, players were all keen on gaining merit in PK group battles and had no intention of exploring and searching. A large number of tasks involving followers were shelved and no one took them up. They were played completely as an ordinary role-playing game.
As a result, this plot mission is absolutely impossible to pass now.
According to this game concept, no matter how weak the player is, he should have his first follower at level 50. After passing the first few more difficult places and mastering the last bit of siege skills, this plot will be easier to pass.
It's just that the development pace of the game is abnormal now, which has affected a large number of players. To be precise, it seems that Chu Tian is the only one with followers.
As a result, this task, designed as an intermediate level of difficulty, became an impossible task.
Without followers, there are no mercenaries
Without mercenaries, there would be no one to block the massive monsters to protect Aurora and gain valuable time when players go to kill the crossbowmen on the arrow tower.
nature becomes impossible
The main purpose of increasing the strength of Aurora's men is also here - to help those weak players who are weak and have relatively low-level mercenaries.
In fact, after Chu Tian thought about this, he really couldn't laugh or cry.
When Tianheng Entertainment designed this plot mission, they tried to find ways to help disadvantaged players pass it in many places.
The result is that even powerful players can’t get through it now.
I don’t know if this is ironic or not.
I'm afraid when those game designers saw the insults from angry players on the forum, they felt bitter in their hearts.
But it passed anyway
Will of the Undead (Purple) Necklace Attack +57 Mantra +55 Magic Value +330 Dark Resistance +10 Abnormal Resistance +3 Requires Level 50 Bound...
How to say
Worse than the best, worse than the best
The mid-range type can meet the needs of some ordinary players without being too despised by currency players.
It's fair enough
It's a pity that when they got to Chutian, they could only throw away warehouses and even stores.
Especially Hao Ying, she looks like she is planning to throw it away in the store.
Her ability to carry three black flame dogs now relies entirely on the "spiked collar" on her neck, which is said to be an orange outfit but is essentially an artifact. It's strange that she can replace it.
…
Spiked Collar (Orange) Necklace Attack +61 Mantra +67 Magic Value +460 Number of Controlled Cerberus Type Creatures +1 Required Level 40 Description: With this collar, I can also control more misbehaving Cerberus!
…
When I came out, I found that things were not over yet. There was still a follow-up to the level 50 plot mission, but everyone was not in the mood to continue.
Sister Hong expressed everyone's feelings in one sentence: "Now the plot requires the use of followers. The importance of mercenaries in the mission will only be greater after the mercenary assists. It is better to let it go first, wait until everyone has followers, and then we will talk about the plot mission."
Unlike ordinary tasks, you can’t do it casually.”
"Especially in this heroic world"
Feng Yun lamented and added
The story missions of other ordinary role-playing games are just ordinary boss killings, and what kind of mission items are obtained?
It's better here, just ask the players to start practicing team siege.
Return to the city and split into two teams to act separately.
The twins led by Sister Hong, Xu Ting and others went to clear the battlefield
Chu Tian and Feng Yun went to 'abduct' and bring back some more little vampires.
I just went to resupply and prepare to leave the city, and happened to run into the dark blue pair.
Ecstasy and Bones, a little girl who used to be as noisy as Lily in the battle group, is now much calmer and more honest, greeting Chu Tian and Feng Yun with a reserved smile.
Sure enough, women with families are different, like Feng Yun from his family.
"Brother Cat, what are you going to do for a spring outing?"
The dark blue color has not changed much. I asked Chu Tian
Chu Tian thought about what he was going to do for Feng Yun and nodded: "Absolutely."
Unexpectedly, his dark blue eyes lit up and he asked excitedly: "Does that mean you are very free?!"
Hearing Deep Blue ask this, Chu Tian understood a little bit.
At this time, Ecstasy and Bones quietly pulled the dark blue color from behind, looking quite embarrassed.
When Feng Yun saw it, he smiled at Ecstasy and said: "It's nothing. It's our duty to help the brothers and sisters in the group."
Only then did Ecstasy feel relieved, and he thanked Feng Yunrou with a smile and said, "Thank you first, Sister Young Mao."
Chu Tian secretly gave a thumbs up to Deep Blue. This guy said he was fat and was really out of breath. He puffed up his chest proudly and had the attitude of a villain saying, "That's no big deal."
But they forgot that Chu Tian was the witness of their love. He didn’t know what was going on and he didn’t bother to expose this guy’s true face. Anyway, the dark blue color is very good for ecstasy and corrodes the bones. All the friends in the group knew it.
"Say, stop beating around the bush and ask me for help if you need anything."
"I knew Brother Cat would be the best to talk." First he flattered Chu Tian a little and gave Chu Tian a thumbs up.
Chu Tian hid his smile: "You are poor, just tell me"
When Dark Blue really wanted him to say it, he felt a little embarrassed instead, scratched his head and laughed: "I'm so embarrassed to say it, little soul. A special pharmaceutical formula requires a kind of herb. I want you, Brother Cat, to... uh, help us."
, take some”
"Take it?" Chu Tian raised his eyebrows.
"Forget it, Xiaolan, Brother Cat is too reluctant."
The ecstasy corrodes the bones and we must retreat.
Stopped by Feng Yun, he persuaded with a smile: "Don't say that."
Chu Tian nodded: "Where? As long as I can get it, I will definitely get it back for you."
Deep Blue and Ecstasy looked at each other in surprise, and submitted a team application to Chu Tian and Feng Yun
"Brother Cat, say on the team channel"
At this time, Chu Tiancai remembered that the four of them were on a busy street. Many people were attracted by the words "special pharmaceutical formula".
Anything in the game becomes extraordinary as long as the word "special" is attached to it
Ecstasy and Bones did not hide any secrets and generously sent the pharmaceutical formula - of course I had already learned it - to the team channel.
Fire Dragon Potion. Legend has it that the potion that can subdue the fire dragon requires materials: dragon fruit, hot spring water, and Fenchen Sand. It requires expert pharmaceutical skills.
