ps: Today’s second update, there will be another update tonight. Please support and encourage me~~~
--------------------------
Sterling is the real name of the kid "Knights of Lake Cocomia". Since he has been quite popular in recent years, before Heroes of Might and Magic Online started its internal beta test, he had already received it from the American branch of Longsheng Company.
Invitation letter for internal testing.
Just like young people of his age, Sterling is fashionable, rebellious, flamboyant, and full of energy. Moreover, he yearns for an adventurous and exciting life and all unknown challenges.
The reason why Sterling can still be cared for and loved by his predecessors is because he knows how to measure and advance and retreat, and is not reckless like most ignorant young people. This is also a major secret to his success.
Before receiving the invitation, Sterling had already heard about this cross-century online game that was about to cause a sensation through the Internet, the media and word-of-mouth among friends, so without further ado, on the day he received the invitation, he officially
He replied that he was very willing to participate in the closed beta test, and then, he met "Liu Yun"...
Compared with Liu Yifei's previous obscurity, Sterling already has countless fans and supporters, so he will occasionally post videos about his gaming situation and some exciting but not involving too many inside stories of the game.
Go to your own website and Weibo.
As you can imagine, one is the latest online game that is the most popular nowadays and is extremely difficult to obtain a closed beta account, and the other is a competitive idol that is sought after and worshiped by countless young people. When the two are integrated into one, the energy they can generate is huge.
At that time, Sterling's website and Weibo received hundreds of thousands of views every day. Countless people were constantly downloading, commenting, and analyzing Sterling's game videos. Naturally, they were filled with countless praises and praises.
Terin, I have long been used to all this~
According to his own plan, Sterling joined the elves. Although he did not know much about this game before, his experience in online games for several years helped him quickly integrate into this new world with its attribute point weighting methods, academic skills, etc.
The promotion method and the extreme state of the character's ability are the basic elements that he must master, and then, they are the rules for how this world operates.
After rushing around in multiple online games, Sterling has already developed his own way of getting familiar with online games, and he knows that each game is a brand new world, even if the similarities between these worlds are as high as 99%, but
If he can't really master the 1% difference in rules, it will still be difficult for him to keep his top position. He is a good master, and he is also the most mentally consuming kind of data flow.
Just like when Liu Yifei first tried to integrate into this magical world, Sterling spent a lot of energy and time trying a variety of different things, such as the character's basic running speed, movement reflex speed, bow and arrow flight speed, weapons
The damage effect caused by the sharpness of different armors, etc.~
Masters of stream of consciousness need keen senses and long-term experience accumulation, while data flow is really a genre that requires hard work to figure out the various setting data of the game. If you don't master one more data, you may be at a critical moment.
One step ahead of others
From this aspect, Sterling and Liu Yifei have the same idea.
However, the difference is that Liu Yifei knows more about the world of Invincible Heroes. He also knows how this game will probably conduct so-called wars. At the same time, he also has considerable insights into the entire war system, especially in
In terms of army composition and war layout, Liu Yifei can be said to be completely ahead of most players, so Liu Yifei is collecting the information he needs in a directional manner.
And what about Sterling? He has rich experience as a master in various virtual online games. He knows which basic data is the most important when entering a game, and which data can provide him with great help in the battle process. Mastering these
, and repeated practice and consolidation, he will not be bad at basic player PK, at least at the upper level.
With a certain amount of combat effectiveness, Sterling's adventurous battles will be easier, which will help him accumulate advantages in the early stage. When others can only fight a wild monster alone, he may have already used his own abilities and advantages.
In one versus two or even one versus three, at the right time, he can completely kill some elite monsters to help him get a complete set of equipment as soon as possible.
Both of them were trying to integrate into the world in their own way, and in the end, they met unexpectedly - not on an adventure in the suburbs, but on a battle formation, during a mission...
It was already in the later stages of the closed beta. As the end date of the closed beta counted down, the players gradually became chaotic and crazy. Players with territorial lords began to quickly fight and merge with each other. Some even knew that they were fighting.
However, the opponent will also want to use all his strength to launch an invasion.
It was a chaotic time, but I have to admit, it was also an exciting time.
Of course, the end of the closed beta is not a trivial matter after all. Longsheng Company also wants to take advantage of the upcoming end of the closed beta to go a little crazy and release some gadgets that should not appear at this time, both
It can attract those high-end players, and it can also create a profound temptation for the general public. If the plan goes well, and all this is made into a new promotional video, the real iron-blooded fight between players will be better than any gorgeous animated CG.
It can attract the attention of the majority of players.
Against this background, the most rewarding and attractive mission during the closed beta period was launched, called - Traces of the Supreme.
The situation of the mission is very simple. In a lord battle, each race takes four extremely powerful player lords. The goal of the mission is to eliminate all enemies or be the first to break through the blockade and reach the destination. The reason why this mission is attractive
, in addition to a large amount of gold coins, experience, reputation, and equipment rewards, it will eventually give players a clue to find the recruitment point for their own seventh-level creatures.
Yes, seventh-level creatures, in Invincible Heroes, under normal circumstances, the strongest troops that the lord may recruit, the strongest creatures that should not appear during the closed beta period, will be the final reward of this mission~
Of course, everyone knows that there are quite powerful wild monster guards in the wild creature recruitment buildings. Even if there are clues, how to defeat the guards and finally recruit seventh-level creatures is not a problem that the system needs to consider.
.
And through the subsequent videos, everyone also learned that Liu Yifei was the only player to see a seventh-level creature during the closed beta period, and he was also the powerful being who dared to stand against the seventh-level creature. Therefore, the final winner of this mission was naturally
It's Liu Yifei...
However, at that time, no one could foresee what would happen next. Every player lord who learned the news flocked to their racial mentor (this was a setting during the closed beta period, I don’t know if you still have the impression)
?At that time, players of all races gathered in Jiuxin City, and every
There is only one mentor for each race, collectively referred to as the race mentor), and the selection conditions are also very harsh. The lord's adventure level, lord level, and military strength are all included in the assessment. Even if they are selected in this way, the number of people is still small.
There are too many, and two or three rounds of elimination within the clan are always inevitable.
After a series of fierce competitions, Sterling finally stood out and became one of the four representatives of the elves~
However, there is one thing that is more tragic, that is, the overall level of mercenaries of the elves is extremely strong. The first four levels of creatures are basically all the lords can come into contact with during the closed beta period, and the four types of mercenaries of the elves
Except for the relatively slow speed of the dwarves, it is almost perfect
Centaurs, needless to say, these guys have always been known as the "king of first-level soldiers" among the eight tribes. Not only are their attributes extremely strong, but after being upgraded to advanced forms, they can evolve the ability to attack in medium and long distances, and throw
A short spear can be used even at short to medium distances
The relatively powerful third-level soldiers dare not resist easily, and their extremely high agility also ensures the centaurs' strong battlefield survivability. It can be said that in addition to the relatively high cost of building recruitment buildings and recruiting, centaurs
The centaurs and horses are absolutely perfect~
Dwarves, the status of this unit is a little embarrassing. Their speed is comparable to that of ghost corpses, which dooms them to a tragic fate. However, dwarves are very convenient to build recruitment buildings, and are affordable. They can also be expanded quickly to reach the target in a short time.
Charge troops
It has the effect of strength, and it has thick health and high defense, and also has its own anti-wear talent. Since there were almost no strong mid-to-high-level long-range troops during the closed beta, these short guys are actually very useful ~ after all, low-level long-range troops
The troops really don't have much of a deterrent effect on them.
Elf shooters, let alone this, are the absolute main force of the elves. The "rapid fire" ability mastered after upgrading to the great elf shooters makes the damage output of the elf shooters explode. They are absolutely popular among the lords of the elves.
Of course, player lords who want to grow bigger are absolutely unwilling to sell these precious mercenaries.
Pegasus Knights, although their blood skin is too thin and their defense is low, still does not involve too many high-level creatures, so they barely have room to play. They are also the elves' troops responsible for gaining speed and providing long-range suppression. Absolutely
Elite.
From this point of view, the elves' army is indeed stronger in the early stage, so when they go to war, their advantage is still quite large~
However, there is an advantage externally, but it does not exist internally. Everyone is the same anyway, and because the strength of the mercenaries is generally strong, the battles are even more intense. This is also the main reason why the strength of the elven player lords has shrunk significantly after the mission.
, 30% to 40% of the total force was consumed internally...
Sterling also anticipated this situation, but he did not expect that his opponent would be so desperate. During the elimination process within the clan, in order to preserve his own strength, he deliberately did not pursue his opponent fiercely.
, generally as long as he suppresses the situation, he will try his best to persuade the other party to surrender~
However, the special period determines the players’ special mentality.
Anyway, the closed beta is about to be exhausted. These troops, strongholds, etc. cannot be left for the open beta. Idle is idle. There are many people who want to go crazy and pursue their dreams. This has resulted in Sterling trying to let go, but the other party is chasing after him.
A fierce beating situation~
When the final selection was over, Sterling's third-level elf archer died a little miserably. Because he was the main force, he was more vulnerable to intensive attacks from the opponent. The two sides shot at each other, and often the elf archer died the fastest.
During the closed beta test, Sterling played as an elf archer. He really couldn't save him even if he wanted to, so he could only rely on a first-aid tent to save everyone~
In addition to the Elf Archer, a small third of Sterling's Pegasus Knights are dead, and the rest are just fine. When deleting, each person can bring up to 300 combat units. Sterling has accumulated a lot of
The dwarves can't use them. In addition, he has a lot of centaur spear throwers, so in the finals it somewhat made up for his long-range weakness.
"So, you are saying that you were finally taken advantage of by that 'Liu Yun' because your strength was weakened by the lords of the same clan during the selection within the clan?
I know a little bit about this matter. During the closed beta, although most of our guild members were busy collecting information on various aspects, we also sent two guys with some strength to compete in the elimination selection, and they were all eliminated by the masters.
Well, the level of that competition was indeed very high, and it was also the last bit of madness..." Ryan said, rubbing his chin.
"Well... I can't say that~ I feel that everyone in the clan has the same deletion. Like the ghost clan, the first level is skeletons, the second level is corpses, the third level is undead, and the fourth level is vampires.
.To the outside world, the third- and fourth-level creatures also have considerable advantages, but the confrontation within the clan does not matter, and they are collectively abolished~
Although their soldiers are not as strong as ours in terms of attributes, their situation is similar. Their losses should not be much less than ours. At most, they are not as fierce as ours. You still have to die~
So I lost, and Liu Yun should have also lost part of his troops. Based on this logical inference, there is no advantage~
And..." As if there was something unspeakable, Sterling whined.
"And? Are there any other situations?" Ryan's interest has been completely aroused~ There are really not many opportunities to understand the strength of "Liu Yun" "up close". Ask more, and you will always know more about yourself.
is beneficial.
"Ryan~~~ restrain yourself, don't be so excited, let Coco Boy speak for himself, since there are no outsiders here anyway, he will naturally say what needs to be said." Phelps coughed slightly and said.
"Haha, it's actually a bit embarrassing, and there's no secret. The main reason is that I lost very miserably at that time. The difference in strength was not one or two points, so I personally feel that even if I didn't lose those elf shooters and Pegasus knights, it seems that
There is no hope..."
"How is that possible?" As soon as Sterling finished speaking, Ryan suddenly forgot about Phelps' reminder and said with a shocked face, "Since you can stand out from the selection within the clan, why should you be the one at that time?"
Only the best can do it. Even if there is a gap in strength, it is absolutely impossible to be that big. Could it be that the level of the lords of the ghost clan is so high? I don’t believe it.”
"Um... I just said that I lost a lot to Liu Yun. As for the other ghost lords, I don't know. Through the video analysis at the time, I don't think the other ghost lords are that strong, and Later, I also found two famous ghost lords to fight twice, but they were just average. Moreover, our elves defeated the troops in the early stage, but I had a big advantage~
But the really weird thing is that in that competition, I didn't even see any other ghost lords... No, I should say that, I couldn't even step out of the house... . . ”
It turns out that the format of the competition was that each lord had a starting point. The starting point was a small supply station. The supply station was refreshed every ten minutes. Each refresh could provide each soldier with a medium life (for mercenaries). The potion can instantly restore 300 points of life. However, the trouble is that it is bound after being received. The potion cannot be transferred, and each soldier can only carry one~
Each lord leads the army from the supply station, and there are four small checkpoints ahead. After passing the four small checkpoints, the path forward for the four lords in each clan begins. From here, you may encounter enemies at any time. Other lords of this race, and there are two medium-sized checkpoints on this road. After passing the six front and back checkpoints, the paths of the eight races began to merge, and finally merged into one avenue, leading directly to the last big checkpoint.
After passing the test of this major level, the destination is finally reached. All the rewards and clues to the location of the seventh-level creature recruitment building are there.
Therefore, in fact, this competition is equivalent to asking everyone to fight a breakout battle regardless of consumption. Even if the opponent is not eliminated, whoever can break through first and pass the final hurdle can still win.
And if you are worried about excessive consumption, then the lord can actually choose to stop and rest slowly, waiting for the mercenaries to slowly recover their blood ~ or run back every ten minutes to receive a bottle of blood recovery potion. But in this way , the lord is giving up the advantage of time to others~
You know, it's not just about who can pass the final level first, but all the levels on the road can actually be occupied.
As long as the attack is successfully completed and all hostile creatures inside are eliminated, the player lord can control the level. It will be refreshed every five minutes. Each time the lord is refreshed, he can choose an upgrade item, such as traps outside the level, horse rejection (all (For ground troops) or the thickness of the city defense or even building an extra arrow tower are all possible. In short, there is an opportunity every five minutes.
Therefore, the slower you move, the more difficult it will be to break through later because the power of the same level in the hands of players is definitely greater than that of NPCs. After all, the lords who can come here are not fools~
"That means you didn't even step out of the house..." Ryan asked with a slightly changed expression.
"Hey~ I'm ashamed, Lion King, you guessed it right. Until the end, I couldn't even get through the second medium-sized level, because the people standing on that level were all Liuyun's troops... . . .”
