But these entanglements only flashed through his mind.
In order to create Qianxue, the skeleton Tang Dynasty, he invested a lot of resources and energy.
Although the overall cost of building Qianxue is not outstanding compared to those previous main accounts, the money has been spent, and it would be too wasteful if there is no sound.
Without thinking any more, he returned his gaze to the news on the screen and suddenly discovered that there was more content underneath.
"The collision of "steel" and "iron", the All-Star war is about to break out!
The Martial God Altar All-Star Competition brings together the top combat powers of "Fantasy Westward Journey", allowing them to collide and compete on this platform.
Every team participating has the ability to win the championship, and every battle they have is a peak showdown.
Who can stand out from all these battles and successfully advance to the finals?
The finals will be held in Shanghai on January 6 and January 7, 2008.
At that time, eight server teams that stand out in the qualifiers will be invited to gather in Wuxi to determine the annual winner!
And when the time comes, who will be able to defeat the rest and win the highest crown? Let’s wait and see!”
This explanation did not go beyond Fang Yun's expectations. After all, even in the previous life, the All-Star Game was not held entirely offline. Only the more important semi-finals and finals of the semi-finals would be held offline.
The atmosphere of offline competitions cannot be compared to that of online competitions. Although this may be Fang Yun's first time participating in offline competitions in his two lifetimes, he feels a little nervous, but rather than nervous, he is more excited about it.
But what really matters right now is not this, but the content below.
"The introduction of the new "forbidden selection mechanism", the tactical play style is changeable and tit-for-tat!
This year's Wushentan All-Star Game introduces the "forbidden selection mechanism" for the first time. The new gameplay will inevitably bring new challenges and new opportunities to the participating teams.
In the top competitions, enabling the "banned selection mechanism" can promote the diversity of martial arts, enrich tactical play, and at the same time provide a more enjoyable competition for the audience.
It is hoped that the two competing teams can use the "banning mechanism" to figure out and understand the intentions of the other team.
Of course, the use of the "banned selection mechanism" is limited to the semi-finals of the Martial Arts All-Star Tournament Finals, the third place competition and the championship competition, which are the top events of Fantasy Westward Journey..."
"this……"
Looking at the four big words "forbidden selection mechanism" specially marked in red by the editor, Fang Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to complain.
The ban selection mechanism has been mentioned before. To summarize briefly, it will be a special sect BAN selection.
When a certain sect is too strong in a certain version, or the chemical effect created by the appearance of several sects at the same time is too overwhelming, then the selection ban mechanism can be used to impose restrictions to a certain extent, thus making the game fairer and more enjoyable.
Be more sexual.
The ban-selection mechanism has long been a standard feature in major competitions in the previous fantasy world, and veterans like Fang Yun are even more familiar with it.
However, the reason why old games like Fantasy Westward Journey have a ban mechanism is mostly due to the new sects that Wangyi later launched.
These new sects are often extremely strong when they are first launched, and even after being weakened several times later, they are still active on the front lines of the Martial God Altar, greatly squeezing the living space of the old traditional sects.
At the same time, these new sects are not only very strong in themselves, but also can easily produce powerful chemical reactions when paired with some old auxiliary sects, thus deriving sets of routines that are hard to guard against.
Because of this, when it was discovered that the old and new sects were increasingly unbalanced, the official had to introduce a ban mechanism. On the one hand, it would limit the appearance rate of those new sects, and on the other hand, it could be regarded as catching up with the times.
Of course, with the continuous updating and balancing of game versions, the subsequent banning mechanism has little to do with the new and old martial arts, because the official is also constantly strengthening those old martial arts.
The subsequent banning mechanism has become more in line with its own meaning, which is to allow players from both sides to defeat each other, forcing both sides to come up with more routines and tactics, and to maximize the excitement of the event.
The problem is, it's 2008 now.
In an era when Fantasy Westward Journey only has 12 sects, it is not so clear whether the sects are strong or not. After all, everyone is an old friend who has been through the process since the closed beta, and each of them has been strengthened by the official countless times.
Compared with weakening, there is no substantial gap at all.
In such an era where the sects are relatively balanced, Wang Yi suddenly decided to launch a ban mechanism, which made Fang Yun feel a little baffled.
"Could it be because of the protests on the forum?"
After thinking for a few seconds, an idea emerged in his mind. Fang Yun raised his eyebrows and suddenly gained some insights.
After Qian Cheng came back strong and won the 27th Martial Arts Championship with a crushing performance, the debate about him in the forum has never stopped, and it has not completely stopped until now.
This is also normal. At that time, Qiancheng had just changed weapons and his total damage had directly exceeded the shocking number of 3100. When he came to the Martial God altar, it was Ultraman beating Spongebob, and he stood out as a bully.
people.
He was so comfortable bullying others, so naturally there were various complaints from the victims.
As a forum surfer, Fang Yun frequently browses the major forums of Fantasy Westward Journey. Whenever he goes to a forum, nine out of ten the most discussed posts are about Thousand Cities.
All these posts discussing Qiancheng have one problem, that is, the damage done by Qiancheng is too terrible, and the existence of such players is too harmful to other players, both physically and psychologically.
Not to mention that not only does his damage be exaggerated, but the configuration of his teammates is also at the top level.
Many players are even discussing that if Qiancheng brings four nannies to the game by himself, all the players in the server will take turns to play in a group, and they will be unable to do anything to him until the end of time.
Such a 360-degree blind spot, powerful enough to intimidate people from thousands of miles away with just one ID, some people are crazy about him, while others never want to see him again.
Now, the officials seem to have heard the voices of these players. While launching the second All-Star Competition on time, they have also revealed the trump card of the banning mechanism.
It is foreseeable that with the emergence of the banning mechanism, from the time Fang Yun and the others enter the All-Star offline competition, whether it is the semi-finals of the semi-finals or the finals, the Datang Guanfu sect will probably be welded to death in the banning seat and will never be able to compete.
Can't let it out!
"Brother, is this considered a 'sanction'?"
Looking at the detailed introduction about the selection ban mechanism in front of him, Fang Yun, who realized something, was helpless and felt a little relieved.
Although this was obviously an attempt by the officials to balance the situation, the method they ultimately chose was not to attack the sect of Datang, but to make a fuss about the rules of the competition.
Fang Yun guessed that this should be because the officials also realized that in addition to Qiancheng, the Tang Dynasty sect itself had actually begun to develop towards the sewer. If it cuts down further, there will probably be a group of people visiting the Wangyi headquarters.
But even so, the emergence of the banning mechanism still brought some trouble to their entire team. Fortunately, he had a lot of numbers in his hand. Even if Qiancheng couldn't play, he still had enough cards to deal with it.
After withdrawing his thoughts, he continued to slide the mouse and slowly dragged the web page in front of him to the bottom.
"At the top of the starry sky, the winner of the Diamond Ring of the Martial God Altar is crowned!
In order to thank players for their love for "Fantasy Westward Journey" and their support for the Wushen Altar All-Star Competition, and of course to encourage more PK masters to participate in this event, "Fantasy Westward Journey" also brought participating teams
Rewards with a total value of over one million!
In addition to in-game rewards, members of the championship, runner-up, and third-place teams will each receive exclusive star competition championship rewards!
Champion reward:
The champion Chi You will receive a trophy, a cash reward of RMB 1 million, 5 exclusive star competition champion Wushen diamond rings, and 5 Chi You figures.
All members of the team can receive: 2 advanced Warcraft Secrets, 2 level 150 book iron sets, 2 level 150 enchanted orbs, and the title of "God of War" exclusive to the champion.
Runner-up rewards:
200,000 yuan in cash prizes, 5 exclusive Martial Arts Silver Rings for the runner-up in the Star Competition, and 5 Chi You figures.
All members of the team can receive: 1 advanced Warcraft Essentials book, 1 level 150 book iron set, 1 level 150 enchanted orb, and the runner-up’s exclusive title of Martial Saint.
Third place reward..."
After carefully reading the final awards for the Champions League and Asia Season, Fang Yun smacked his lips, thinking that this netizen's handiwork is really not small.
Compared with the first All-Stars, the final rewards of this All-Stars can be said to be fully upgraded. The championship bonus jumped directly from 500,000 to 1 million, and the number of 150 book irons and enchanted orbs was also doubled.
Based on such a generous foundation, the official title for the champion has also been iteratively upgraded, directly turning it into the extremely eye-catching "God of War", which is extremely attractive even to Fang Yun.
And even if you are the runner-up, not to mention anything else, the cash reward of 200,000 is enough for countless players to follow suit.
But he knew that wasn't the most important thing.
The reward for being the champion of the Martial God Altar may be just the icing on the cake for Fang Yun, but for Beast Master and other players, this level of reward cannot be described as generous. Anyone with some ability will never let go of this opportunity.
It is foreseeable that with the comprehensive upgrade of the scale of the event and the rewards, the second All-Star Competition will inevitably set off a wave in the fantasy world and even the entire gaming industry, directly surpassing the influence of the first All-Star Competition and becoming a new domestic gaming event.
milestone!
"Although the competition is good, it's a pity that we have to wait a month..."
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Fang Yun, who had not experienced passion for a long time, wished that the All-Star Game would start tomorrow. Unfortunately, the reality is that registration for the second All-Star Game has not even opened, let alone officially started.
But it doesn't matter. Although the most exciting All-Star can't play for the time being, there is a martial arts world waiting for him at the moment.
It's been a while since he participated in a major tournament, and Qianxue was about to finish his game. Since he couldn't play in the All-Stars, it would be good to play a round with the hot players in the martial arts world first.
After making a decision, he glanced at the All-Star Game news again, made sure there was nothing missing, closed the page, and then entered the forum.
The news of the upcoming All-Star Game even made him feel excited. You can imagine how excited other players would be. He wanted to see what the forums at this time had to say about the upcoming second All-Star Game.
But what surprised him was that when his mouse came to the forum option and he left-clicked it, the expected window did not pop up.
"Is this... stuck?"
After clicking a few more times, there was still no pop-up window. Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
This picture was not unfamiliar to him, and it was obviously stuck.
In his opinion, the timing of the lag was quite clever. As soon as the official announced the news of the All-Star Game, the forum immediately froze. Apparently, the traffic to the forum was too high at that moment, causing the server to be overloaded.
After being reborn for so long, this seems to be the second time he has encountered a forum explosion. The first time, like today, was the day when the All-Star Game was officially announced.
He didn't expect that even though he had already suffered a loss once, the netizens still didn't have a long memory. He had already been sprayed with blood for this incident last year, but it happened again today.
If netizens could hear his voice at this time, they might not be able to help shouting that he was wronged.
Following the announcement of the last All-Star Game, which caused the forum to overload and explode, NetEase immediately upgraded the server, but did not want the upgraded server to explode again after the news of the second All-Star Game was announced today. Obviously this time
The number of visits is even more terrifying than last time.
Unable to enter the forum, Fang Yun didn't force himself. He was too lazy to go to other forums and just switched the window and returned to the game.
He guessed that the forum would not be able to repair it in a short period of time. Instead of wasting it there, he might as well go back to the game and do some things of his own, such as helping Qianxue get the last few graduation outfits.
Returning to the game and arriving on the Qianxue, he controlled Qianxue to return home directly. First, he emptied all the backpacks, and then began to pick up the goods from the warehouse one by one.
These goods are all composed of necklaces and shoes. After all, Qianxue's whole body is now missing these two items. As long as she has them all, she can graduate directly.
The level of the necklace ranges from 120-150. After all, Qianxue itself has no requirements for spiritual power, and it is even better to go lower if possible.
But the shoes are different. Since the Skeleton Tang Dynasty has high requirements for speed, the lowest level of this batch of shoes is level 140, and most of them are level 150. Fang Yun spent a lot of energy to get these shoes.
He took out a cart of necklaces and a cart of shoes, and without stopping, he controlled Qianxue to go outside to meet a trumpet that stored identification talismans. Under the leadership of the trumpet, he flew directly to the longevity village.
Originally, he wanted to go to Qilin Mountain, but now Qilin Mountain has gradually begun to be occupied by those who follow suit, so now he can only fight guerrillas everywhere.
After running all the way to Changshou Bridge, Fang Yun opened his backpack, and after trading with the trumpet, he rubbed his hands and prepared to start the appraisal.
