Now in the world of Heroes of Might and Magic OL, there are eleven countries in the human camp, four countries in the elf camp, three countries in the tower camp, one country in the swamp camp, and two additional national-level Free Alliances.
, so the Alliance of Light has a total of twenty-one national power groups.
As for the Dark Alliance, there are nine countries in the hell camp, five countries in the ghost camp, seven countries in the dungeon camp, one country in the barbarian camp, and three additional large tribes at the national level, so the Dark Alliance has a total of
There are twenty-five national power groups.
Although this first full-server competition is hosted by a game company and assisted by the game mastermind, it is also closely related to the power structure of NPCs.
The reason is closely related to the registration method and promotion method of this competition.
Within three days after the registration date, all cities recognized by the system will have an NPC named "Challenge Competition Registration Officer" refreshed next to the city's parliament hall. There are no restrictions on this competition. Anyone found within the registration date
After registering with the registration officer and handing in the registration fee of one gold coin, any player can be qualified to participate.
Although the competition formats are diverse, the final promotion methods are exactly the same.
After all players register, the system will notify them of the competition location by sending an email on the night of the third day. Generally speaking, the competition will take place wherever they register.
However, the competitions in all regions do not start at the same time. The system stipulates that the "single professional arena competition" of various races and countries will be held first.
The initial competition level is "Small City", that is, all players who register in small cities will compete the next day after the registration closes.
The format of the competition is a knockout round. The winner will advance directly and the loser will be eliminated directly. There will be no resurrection group.
In the end, a maximum of fifty "promoters" will be selected from all the small towns participating in the competition and enter the next round of the "Midtown" level competition.
The location of the "mid-city" level competition has been raised to a medium-sized city. All "small town players" who have successfully advanced and players who registered locally will compete in a single elimination round again. There is still no resurrection group. In the end, each medium-sized city will allow the winning players to advance.
The maximum number is fifty.
After the "Middle City" level competition is over, the next day is the "Big City" level competition. The format is the same as the previous two rounds. There is still no resurrection group. If you fail, you will be eliminated directly. Each large city allows the winner to advance.
The maximum number of players is twenty.
After the "Big City" game comes the highlight of the "National" game. This is probably the craziest time for players.
After three consecutive days of competition, players from various races and professions in various countries have begun to stand out. Any player who can win the "Big City" game is definitely not a mediocre player.
After gathering powerful players selected from various large cities, the "national" competition will be divided into two days. First, on the fourth day after the official start of the competition, the top thirteen players in each profession in the country will be determined, and later in the day
A resurrection match will also be set up. Players who are eliminated in the competition of each profession on the day can enter the resurrection group after paying a large amount of "resurrection money", and the top three in the resurrection group will be determined, and then merged into the previous thirteen
Strong and become one of the top 16 players in this country and profession.
On the fifth day, the semi-finals and finals of various professional single-player competitions officially began.
The system will determine the top four in each profession in each country on that day, including the national champion, runner-up, third runner-up and fourth place in this profession.
The official competition has come to an end here, but on the sixth day, there will be a "race" competition that exceeds the restrictions.
The top four super players from each country will have to accept the challenge of the fifth to eighth players, which are the players who had no choice but to lose in the previous top eight competition. After a life-and-death showdown with these people, the winner will continue.
, can participate in the highlight of the sixth day - the "race" competition.
Being able to enter the top competitions of various races and professions, these people are undoubtedly the top players of their own profession. After gathering together, they will compete in the final competition to decide who is the real "number one in their race"
Judging from the announced competition format, it seems that it is most advantageous to go directly to large cities in various regions to sign up for the competition, because this way you can directly avoid the fierce fighting in the first two rounds and at least get to the level of the "big city" competition.
In fact, things are far from that simple.
Although throughout the entire process, the system continues to use a single-round knockout, but during the competition, there is also the participation and consideration of the points system~
Every time a player participates in a game, no matter he wins or loses, he will first gain one hundred competition points, and then the winner will continue to add one hundred competition points. During the game, if the enemy's health is damaged, his own remaining health will eventually turn into
Points are accumulated to the player's total points.
Don’t underestimate these points.
For example, in the previous "small city", "middle city" and "big city" level competitions, the number of players who could successfully advance in each city was also strictly limited, but the number of participating players in each location was different.
In the final elimination and promotion process, it is the "points system"'s turn to show its effect.
When a full round of competition ends and the number of remaining players is more than fifty but less than one hundred, which is not enough to continue the next round of knockout, the system will give priority to the fifty players with the highest points to advance.
Of course, being disqualified does not necessarily mean that those who are disqualified will be eliminated. Those who are confident in their own strength can use all their "points" as bets to challenge any player who is qualified to advance.
Once the game is won, the challenger is promoted, and the loser is eliminated directly. Each player has only one chance to challenge and be challenged. If the challenged party successfully defends the title, he can eat half of the opponent's bet in one go and add it to his own total points.
.
This format is even used in "national" competitions.
The reason why "points" are always emphasized is because this value also reflects the player's combat achievements and strength. In addition to the system-specified reward items in various levels of competitions and rankings, these "points" can also eventually be used for
Players win rewards
The designated rewards issued by the system are mainly various weapons and equipment. The rewards that can be exchanged for these points are even more diverse, including high-quality strategic materials (such as flying knives, arrows, magic scrolls), and high-end supplies.
Products (such as healing potions, life potions, full-repair potions), various mounts, and even pet eggs released by the system in advance (do not overlap with the battle pets of the hunter profession, and recipients can obtain pets regardless of profession)
It can be seen that, to a certain extent, accumulating more points in lower-level competitions will also be of great benefit to one's future promotion path. After all, the opponents in the future will definitely be stronger. If you can win in the final promotion stage,
If you squeeze out an opponent with higher points, it will undoubtedly be a very satisfying thing~
At the same time, people who have full confidence in their own strength can also accumulate more points to obtain better item rewards when the results are finally settled.
After the "race" competition on the sixth day, all players will have one day to rest, and the team competition will officially begin on Monday of the next week.
The team competition is divided into two parts: mercenary team battle and player guild battle.
And the two parts have respectively set up limited-level competitions and unlimited competitions.
As the name suggests, the "limited-level competition" is a safe competition for groups of the same level to compete, taking into account the differences in the number of people and strength between each power level. The mercenary group battle is divided into G-level competitions (standard fifty people).
There are four parts: F-level competition (standard 100 people), E-level competition (standard 300 people) and D-level competition (standard 500 people).
The "limited-level competition" of player guild battles is divided into two parts: the first-level competition (standard 500 players) and the second-level competition (standard 1,000 players).
In contrast, the unlimited competition is much more cruel and terrifying because the groups gathered here are of all levels, and there may even be extreme situations where a newly established G-level mercenary group will face off against an old and powerful D-level mercenary group.
At the end of the unlimited competition, the top four mercenary groups will compete with the top four player guilds in the finals to determine who is the real number one force in the current Heroes of Might and Magic OL world.
There has been an ongoing debate over whether the mercenary group is stronger or the player guild is stronger. In the constant conflict of forces, the mercenary group and the player guild occasionally win or lose, but the mercenaries
The development of the corps has been upgraded to E-level, and D-level has basically reached an extreme level. If you want to further upgrade to C-level or even B-level, the amount of time required is really unimaginable~
In comparison, the players' guild is still an emerging organizational form. The basic level can have a scale of 500 people, and the level 2 can have a scale of 1,000 people. From this point of view, I am afraid it will exceed
There is more than one mercenary group.
Of course, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the game and attract more groups to participate in the unlimited game, in the unlimited game, each participating player will gain points five times faster than in the limited game.
That is to say, everyone who participates in a team can basically get 500 competitive points. Once the team wins, even if no one is killed, each team member can gain 1,000 competitive points.
Compared with single-player professional arena competitions, although the scale of team competitions is much larger, the number of games is much smaller, but this does not mean that the competition period of team competitions is shorter.
In fact, in order to increase the enjoyment of the game, just like the original "Eight Races Mercenary War", at the end of the team competition, the powerful groups from each race will gather together for a true "World's Best Gang" battle.
For this purpose, the entire team competition lasts for one week.
In the third week after the official start of the competition, the final part of this all-server grand arena competition is also the most eye-catching part. It is the "All-Professional Brawl" that countless people are looking forward to.
In this part of the competition, the points accumulation rate is twice that of the previous "Professional Individual Arena Competition". The winner of each game will receive at least 400 points, and even the loser will receive at least 200 points.
Points earned.
In this part of the competition, there are no restrictions on occupations and levels. The format of the competition is the same as the original "Professional Individual Arena", with the regional level as the promotion route, all the way to the final winner with the title of "The Strongest in All Professionals and All Servers".
Arena match
After learning the details of the entire competition process, countless players went crazy with excitement overnight. Everyone entered a state of excitement. On the second day of registration, many Light League city jails were full of people due to excessive use.
Players who are excited and "pick quarrels and cause trouble" in the city.
But even though they were imprisoned, these players were still extremely excited. Even though their weapons were confiscated, some even started fighting with others in hand-to-hand combat with their bare hands.
Because there are no restrictions on this competition, even criminals who are "serving their sentences" also have the right to participate in the competition.
The chaos once spread to the point where the NPC lords all had headaches.
Of course, although they are extremely excited, the players will not lose their minds yet~ The game is about to begin, and every little bit more strength means that they can go further in the game and earn more.
Let’s use the game company’s promotional slogan: This is a high-quality equipment and item distribution conference. We strive to let every player gain something and get satisfactory returns for their efforts.
Therefore, at this critical moment, no matter how excited everyone is, they will not be so crazy as to do something that involves killing people and stealing goods. After all, if you commit these things, you may be directly executed by the city guards if caught.
Not to mention losing levels, the important equipment on his body may also be exploded, which would be too tragic.
Therefore, despite the fact that there are countless criminals and players imprisoned in the prison, they are actually all small things like sneaking around and disrupting public order. The real murderers and the like have actually subsided a lot, and they are also working hard to kill monsters.
With my own sin level, I hope I can get the opportunity to register in the city at the last moment and participate in this super feast that is rare in the history of the game.
The propaganda is still going on and the madness is still spreading~
However, the clock never stopped for a minute or a second. As the sun set and rose again in reality, the game date in the game world finally arrived.
On this day, countless registered players gathered in the small cities where they signed up to compete, eagerly waiting for the moment when they would compete in the competition. But what they could not expect was that maybe in the next second, a future world-class strong player would appear.
The reader may pass by them, or even compete with them on the same stage...
"Hey~ time, time, time... I still don't have enough time. I can't even level up. I hope there won't be any big problems, but I finally got all the important equipment back." A man was sitting alone.
The figure standing in the corner was wearing a robe with a large hood. He looked like a man dressed as a spell caster and murmured.
"I don't know how the situation is at Xue Lan. I've been gone for more than a month. I hope she doesn't have any big problems. I don't know if she has a competition today..." the figure continued to mutter.
.
"The third game has been confirmed. Please go to Arena No. 8 immediately. Please go to Arena No. 8 immediately. If you are not familiar with the venue, please turn on the venue guidance function immediately..."
Following the guidance of the phantom road signs generated by the system, this figure slowly walked forward in the crowd. Although the road was a bit crowded, he still arrived at his destination smoothly, and he also saw the result of the last competition.
"Well... you haven't learned the academic skills of combat casting? Is this guy definitely a second-level player? Even if he lacks it, he won't lack so many skill points, right~
Although wizard-type professions don’t cast spells as frequently as mage-type professions, if you don’t learn any combat spells during a duel, wouldn’t it be a target? What a joke..."
Seeing that the remaining victor wizard on the stage was still arrogantly waving his hands to the "audience" below the stage, the figure sighed on behalf of the dear friend who finally left the stage in a state of disgrace.
"Now, contestant No. 117 and contestant 321 are invited to take the stage... Contestant No. 117 and contestant 321 are invited to take the stage..." After the winner was also teleported away, on the empty arena
Suddenly a mechanical electronic synthesized sound sounded.
As soon as the sound came out, no one below stood up, but the surrounding "audiences" couldn't help but burst out in uproar.
"No. 321? Is that that person?"
"I heard that yes, someone saw him play before, and it was indeed the name reported by the system when it confirmed his identity after taking the stage."
"Is it really that person? Is there a mistake? How did he come here?"
"Who knows~ Maybe you want to come here to earn more competition points. Playing one more round will earn you hundreds of points. Don't waste it."
"Tch~ Is he so brave? He's not afraid of being overconfident and capsizing in the gutter."
"Haha~ It's interesting. When you say this, I really can't tell who is bolder~ If you have the ability, you should go up and see if he will capsize in your gutter."
"**He** has eaten shit and has such a bad mouth? Believe it or not, I cut you?"
"It stinks, but if you have the ability, I'll see you in the ring, and let's see who will do it and who will fall."
"Okay, okay, are you two annoyed? It's not your turn to go on stage now. Besides, it's still a question of whether you two can be next to each other. Why are you so excited? Just shut up and watch someone come on stage."
For a moment, the whole place couldn't help but fall silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the only figure standing on the ring...
