After Liu Yifei and others successfully conquered the mine dungeon in the dwarf village, everyone in Plague City had a rare free time.
The dwarf tribe entrenched in the mountains far away from the dwarf village has not seen any movement. To be honest, this makes Liu Yifei feel quite strange.
Now that everyone is here, you should come over and say hello no matter what, right? Either fight or make peace, in short there must be an explanation. What is going on with hanging around like this?
There was even one time when Liu Yifei couldn't bear it any longer. Taking advantage of the dark night and high winds, he rode Gregory and hovered over the opponent's newly established stronghold for a while, trying to find out the opponent's true identity.
But what Liu Yifei didn't expect was that the system actually prompted "the other party's information is not visible."
This is really a heck of a situation~
Liu Yifei has never encountered this kind of thing. Even in a system city where a spiritual or even legendary city lord is in charge, as long as you have the ability to fly above people's heads and hover for a while, you can basically understand the situation in the territory.
What kind of state is this "invisibility"?
Liu Yifei went offline and called the game company to complain, but what he learned surprised him
The customer service staff actually told him that the system was preparing to be upgraded and that all matters could not be updated until the upgrade was completed.
upgrade???
The system is actually being upgraded???
What is this situation?
Liu Yifei, who didn't know what was going on, didn't tell anyone else about it, but kept it secretly in his mind. However, he had no intention of relaxing about various matters in the territory.
The comprehensive upgrades that can be seen everywhere in Plague City continue.
Even with the more than 100,000 laborers invested by His Majesty Toradere to help with the construction, the comprehensive construction and upgrading of the fifth-level city is still a big project.
In particular, Liu Yifei's original foundation is still too weak. Many buildings that should be built at level 4 are not in place for upgrading. Therefore, the territory is jumping directly from the three poles to the full level five state. Various processes are required.
You can imagine how complicated it is.
Liu Yifei does not need to worry about the construction of the territory. He is still only concerned about the accumulation of military strength in the territory.
"Heroes of Might and Magic OL" has always been a war game, and based on what he has seen and felt in the past two months, the game itself is obviously shifting from RPG to strategic war. This is reflected in the recent emergence of more and more player lords.
It can be felt that the game has reached a stage where player lords are gradually allowed to apply for permissions.
Of course, there are only so many villages and towns arranged by the system. If you want to seize a territory, you must be quick enough.
If you want to start from scratch and go to the wild to choose an address to build a small village after obtaining the authority of the lord, the difficulty is not high. For Liu Yifei, who has experienced monster sieges, the grand scene at that time is really fresh in his memory.
.....
In addition to the emergence of more and more small village and town-level territories, there is also news that some powerful players with huge cash investment have begun to try to develop their own small village and town-level territories to a higher level.
The most classic among them is naturally the "Monster Destroying City" incident involving "Migal" that Liu Yifei encountered when he went to the Elf Tribe.
Liu Yifei is really unkind. Not only did he watch the show from a distance, but he also took great pleasure in his misfortune and helped him shoot a lot of aerial videos.
From the top to bottom view of the video, you can have a very clear grasp of the entire situation.
Liu Yifei even uploaded this extremely exciting and exciting video to the forums of the Jingling Tribe and the Ghost Tribe afterwards, and then set it as a paid download video with a download limit of one United Coin per person.
, you are basically exposing other people’s scars and putting money into your own pocket.
Although more related videos were quickly posted on the forum, and most of them were free, the angles they chose were not as good as Liu Yifei's. Most of them were from the inside of the town looking out.
It's probably a video of the player responsible for the defense in the town committing suicide.
Although someone disrupted the situation, the videos Liu Yifei took still provided him with an income of hundreds of thousands of United coins. This is why Liu Yifei was not in a hurry to sell gold coins and equipment to make money.
Because Liu Yifei discovered more and more that with his knowledge and the large number of videos of great value accumulated in his hands, as long as he was willing to post these videos on the forum, if he dared not talk about them, he would get back more than a hundred
Ten thousand joint coins is still no problem at all.
It's just that these videos recorded by Liu Yifei contain more or less important information. As long as a person who is interested can do a little digging, it is not difficult to analyze what he wants from them. In addition, Liu Yifei has not been in short supply recently.
Money, so he failed to become a qualified video intelligence dealer.
Except for Michael's extremely tragic example of group destruction, all other town-level lords' attempts to upgrade to a first-level town were all in vain~
Obtaining the construction permit of a first-level town does not seem to be too difficult. As long as the player lord has a good favorability with the superior NPC city lord in his jurisdiction, and then makes more local contributions, he can successfully obtain this quota.
But how to convert this quota into real results has stumped a group of people~
Scan all the posts on the Eight Tribes Forum, and you will probably find more than thirty videos of "town upgrade failure". These were self-exploded by the brave "lords". As for the other secret videos that have not been exposed,
, and countless people fell in front of the huge monster.
Compared with the tragic collective failure of small town upgrades, a small number of village-level lords have successfully upgraded to town-level territories.
Based on the players' careful induction and summary, they finally found a bumpy road to success amidst countless failures:
First, the terrain of the territory must be good.
Village-level strongholds can only build very crude "fences" that are no different from fences.
You want to expect this thing to help you withstand the endless army of monsters. It is nonsense. Once your stronghold is in the open land of the plains, you can basically be sentenced to death~
The best situation is that there is water, mountains or other things on one or both sides of the territory to help you block the monsters, so that the player lord can concentrate his troops to deal with the other monsters.
Although there are usually corresponding monsters in the waters, they either cannot come ashore, or their strength will be greatly reduced after landing. In short, they are much easier to deal with than the beasts on land~
Second, be sure to carefully collect detailed information about the monsters around your territory.
Once a stronghold is confirmed and upgraded, the monsters' spawn points or "territory" will be invaded, so the monsters' attacks are almost endless.
However, the system will not refresh monsters located too far away. Generally, information on monsters within ten miles of the territory must be collected to facilitate targeted response measures.
At the same time, the lord also needs to master the effective tactics of boss-level units of this kind of monster.
Because based on actual experience, we know that when monsters siege a city, a boss will definitely be spawned, and often there will be more than one boss spawned. At least there will be a boss for each type of monster. If you can't find a way to fight among the luàn army,
If you kill the enemy boss, congratulations~
Because you will see the boss hiding shamelessly in the distance and constantly directing his subordinates to attack your territory. And if you encounter a boss who is not very good at commanding and only charges with brute force, then the situation may not be the same.
There is an improvement, because the defensive line deployed by the player is very likely to be easily torn down by the opponent.
Third, and the last and most important point is that if you want to ensure the success rate of territory upgrade, then invite as many people as possible to help.
The success of the city defense battle in Puni Village has a lot to do with the extremely powerful personal combat abilities of Liu Yifei and others, but it mainly lies in the field control ability of a super powerful boss.
If nothing else,
oThe durability and defensive power of the wall of bones that you summoned at that time are by no means comparable to that of the poor fence~
If the intensity of the monsters' attack on the defense line was one-tenth of the strength of the wall, the existence would have collapsed long ago...
But it’s not possible for every player lord to have it in their hands.
ol This type of super subordinate, even strictly speaking, there are almost no players who have recruited their own subordinates in the game~
After all, if you want to recruit subordinates, you must first become a lord of a party, and it is obviously difficult for a lord at the level of a small village or town to make powerful NPCs willing to become strong men who are loyal to them...
Without the help of a boss who can powerfully control the field, players can only use long-range strikes or build earth walls, traps, trenches, etc. outside the village to prevent monsters from causing premature damage to the village itself.
Any of these methods require a lot of manpower to complete the work.
It doesn’t matter how the player lord sends people to build a defense line at the beginning of the war. It’s just the defense personnel inside the territory. If you don’t stand up with three to five hundred people, you can’t even think about it.
This is just the upgrade of a small village to a small town. If a small town is upgraded to a small town...
Thousands of people may not be able to care enough
Of course, the last upgrade of Michael's territory was more complicated. It involved factions and interest groups, which made NPCs also take action against Michael. Under normal circumstances, this situation is not easy to trigger. Players have to
The most important thing to consider is the attack power of the monster itself.
Of course, no matter what kind of upgrade situation it is, the most ideal state is naturally success~
Once it fails, the broken defense line will no longer be able to resist the invasion of monsters. Because the monsters were severely enraged, their attack power at that time was also unprecedentedly high. It can be said that it is a typical situation where the hatred tank is full. If the player lord's little
Once the stronghold is destroyed, they will hardly choose to retreat.
In this way, once the territory upgrade fails, it almost means that all the wealth and previous efforts have been wasted. It also makes players more cautious to a large extent, and they do not dare to upgrade the territory casually. Even if they want to upgrade, they must
Spend a lot of time planning various things, but even so, there are still not many examples of villages being successfully upgraded to small towns~
While Liu Yifei was busy hoarding his internal strength, he was browsing various popular videos on the forum that he had ignored some time ago, and a large part of them always revolved around the theme of the year-end competition in the arena...
Half a year is an extremely important landmark moment for any game.
At the end of half a year, whether the game can achieve any amazing results, whether the online rate of the game can always maintain its peak, whether the game has any hot topics that can be talked about, and other factors will directly determine the game.
Operations in the next one or even two years
Fortunately, judging from the current good market response, the next year will be a prosperous year for "Heroes"
The year-end arena competition is an important official event. It is intended to continue to increase the popularity of the game. It is also used as a kind of feedback to give players a chance to enjoy PK, and to provide generous rewards to the winners in the PK.
It's a pity that this activity cannot be separated from the word "official" and cannot demonstrate the enthusiasm of players to actively participate in the game.
However, a "system battle" triggered by Liu Yifei at the right time did the game company a big favor.
This battle that took place in the southwest of the Kingdom of Dickwell did not attract widespread attention from players at the beginning.
After all, there was a team competition in the arena at that time, and many players' enthusiasm had been aroused by the previous professional individual competition, so they paid more attention to this matter.
But as the subsequent plot trends became more and more shocking, and the scale of the battlefield became larger and larger, the attention of human and elven players first shifted to the plot battle.
Coupled with the unexpected "turbulence" of the last day of the battle, this incident aroused widespread attention and heated discussion among players after it was over.
Although the "shattering battle" that took place over the City of Glory was not captured by ordinary players, various signs are enough to indicate that something very "spectacular" happened there. The impact of this event was so great that it affected the entire game world.
triggering "large-scale" "visions" at the same time
What players call strange phenomena is actually the aura of the local superpowers emanating from them.
And as the news about the final "shattering battle" spread, one name really entered the field of vision of all players at the same time.
Liuyun
This name is no longer an unfamiliar word to many people~
From the earliest "ghost clan's top master", to later "the ghost clan's most perverted lord", and later to the uproarous strategic map battle missions where thousands of people were surrounded and killed
And all the things that happened on the world map later, and then the Elf húnluàn two months ago, the super PK with millions of people, the plot battle of the human race...
The name Liuyun has been used in various events, big and small, almost to the point of being "pervasive".
If a person's name appears in one or two similar things, the players will be shocked at most, or think that the player is too lucky. But it happens again and again, and he is frequently active in various situations, so
But his performance made other players who were also players angry.
That's right, it's anger
Players can tolerate the gap, they can tolerate someone who is stronger than themselves, but they cannot tolerate the existence of a player who is too strong like a god or monster.
In addition, players have also noticed that this player named Liu Yun is very powerful in a very strange way. If you want to say that he is a super rich man, it doesn't seem like it, because many times you go to see him even after a month.
equipment, his main equipment has not changed much, that is to say, he has not frequently replaced the super strong ones to strengthen his strength.
So, why did he step on everyone's head almost as soon as the game was launched?
Discussions on similar issues became more and more noisy. Gradually, many of Liu Yifei's deeds during the internal beta were revealed. Especially at that time, Liu Yifei also had many opponents. After all, lords attacking each other would inevitably cause hatred, so some of those
People at the time also came forward to allude that Liu Yifei seemed to be incredibly powerful from the time of internal testing~
Rumors are terrible, especially when large-scale rumors break out due to the envy, jealousy and hatred of many people, the harm is even more terrifying.
Slowly, and I don’t know who took the lead, players continued to come forward and accuse the game company of cheating. It must be because they secretly leaked important information to outsiders, and this is how a character like "Liu Yun" was created.
After all, for most players, it is completely incomprehensible that he is so strong...
This discussion has attracted a lot of attention
Later, he even stole the final individual unlimited battle style.
The forum is still full of discussions about the "Shocking Battle" and Dui Liuyun himself. In comparison, there are only a few comments under various exciting game videos.
Today's "Invincible Heroes OL" is basically a melting pot of young people from all over the world, attracting almost 99% of the world's young people between the ages of 20 and 25 into the game, and game players between the ages of 26 and 30
There are also countless.
"Young people" are a group who are easily provoked and whose emotions are easily controlled.
Due to not having much experience in the world, very few young people can develop a relaxed and calm attitude towards life. Envy, jealousy and hatred for Liuyun have become the best trigger for their emotional burning.
Soon, players' criticism of Liu Yifei turned into doubts and distrust of the game company.
This time the problem becomes big~
Once there is a large-scale lack of confidence in the game or the game company among the players, it will be easy for the players to leave the game. As long as there are similar or even slightly worse games on the market during this period, the players will be very decisive.
quit.
At this time, the final unlimited personal battle finally ended. The half-year public beta operation of the game was completed, and the game system entered a state of comprehensive upgrade that lasted seven days during the Chinese New Year.
In the past six months, young people have devoted almost all their spare time to the game world. Now at the end of the year, the game has suddenly announced that it will cease service and upgrade, which will undoubtedly cost the lives of the players.
Unfortunately, the performance of Heroes of Might and Magic OL was too strong some time ago. There are no other new games launched in the near future, so many people want to have some fun~
As a result, more people will post various posts on the game forum every day to vent various emotions.
This time the game company really can’t bear it~
Because judging from the current situation, the suspicion among the player community is gradually rising. If we don't come up with some "strong" evidence, I'm afraid that the official operation period after the New Year will really be in a worse situation.
As a last resort, the main person in charge of the gaming aspect of Longsheng Group had no choice but to condescend and come over to Liu Yifei to discuss some issues.
I think Longsheng Group is a very successful international super group with countless business projects and properties.
It's just that Longsheng Group has never received such widespread attention in the past, and the virtual game "Invincible Heroes OL" is also their main investment project that they plan to build in the past two years, so there is no room for any sloppiness. Once these projects are affected by
If the reasons affect the stock trend of Longsheng Group itself, the losses will be even greater.
The manager of Longsheng Group who is responsible for the game market found Liu Yifei through the contact information Liu Yifei left at the local Longsheng Group branch during the internal testing period. It was just the afternoon of the first day of the new year.
I hurried over and apologized profusely~
You can't do it without apologizing. On the first day of the new year, I delayed someone's schedule because of my own affairs. This is not a small crime. If someone is unreasonable and can be thrown out of the door by you, even though the other person is in the society,
Although his status was not low, he could only put down his reserve and chat with Liu Yifei about daily life.
Add both sides together.
The current preparation of Longsheng Group is to have a detailed discussion with Liu Yifei, hoping that he can make concessions and allow Longsheng Group to publish some of Liu Yifei's data on the forum, especially the adventure aspect, and provide clear screenshots to regain players.
The trust made everyone believe that Liu Yun was indeed strong, but not unreasonably strong. It just happened that many conditions came together and combined organically to continuously amplify his own strength.
Later, Longsheng Group also hoped that Liu Yifei would agree to make a short biographical film about Liu Yifei's gaming adventures. The duration of the film would be about 45 minutes, and it would mainly record some dangerous or embarrassing scenes in Liu Yifei's past adventures, especially those.
The scene where Liu Yifei was "powerless to fight back" when facing a super strong person.
Longsheng Group hopes to embody Liu Yifei's "mortalization" in this way and tell everyone that he is not an unreachable monster.
He will also face failure or even danger. To be precise, Liu Yifei faces much more danger than ordinary players~
The game company wants to tell players that in the game, only hard work will bring rewards. The reason why Liu Yun can appear extremely powerful in front of others is because he has made great efforts and sacrifices behind the scenes.
