After a casual search, sure enough, many game forums have been flooded with "Dark Sand"!
Although the number of closed beta players is not large, those who are awake and posting during this time are basically all closed beta players.
Because other players are basically still sleeping at 6 o'clock in the morning.
After experiencing the game, this group of people obviously had a strong desire to discuss it, and they immediately flooded the page.
The special sections related to "Dark Sand" on many forums were just chatting with melon-eating people eating melon seeds the day before, but now they have immediately turned into high-intensity discussions about the content of the game.
"This game is really amazing! I didn't expect that what was advertised on the official website was actually true. It is indeed 100% real! I was completely shocked when I entered it!"
"Yeah, it's so real. I almost thought I had traveled through time. It turns out that this is how the protagonist in online novels feels like traveling through time!"
"The NPCs in this game only play real. I thought the guards standing on both sides were just decorations, but I went up to them and kicked them, and they were taken down immediately..."
"You're too tough upstairs. These NPCs all look like real people. How can you get away with them?"
"I think these NPCs can pass the Turing test properly. The degree of freedom in this game is too high! Even a subtle expression may cause NPCs to react differently. No wonder the recruitment announcement for internal beta players said that for players
There are requirements for your acting skills!”
"Yeah, I suffered the disadvantage of not knowing how to act. I was discovered as soon as I entered the main hall..."
A large number of posts are about being shocked by how realistic the game is.
There are also some players who are speculating on why this game is so realistic. It is almost like a product of two eras from other virtual reality games.
But they are obviously using the same virtual reality equipment.
Some people who have researched virtual reality technology have also made some speculations, saying that the current neural connection technology actually has a high theoretical upper limit, but the software level does not dare to be too radical for fear of causing slight damage to the human brain, so other games
The company's virtual reality games are relatively restrained.
And this game is likely to use some powerful technical means to greatly increase the upper limit of current virtual reality technology.
Just like the same console before, some games can only use 60 to 70% of the functions, but some games can be optimized by God to not only make full use of all functions, but also achieve 120% of the game effect.
But anyway, these are just guesses.
After all, this is a mysterious giant company that can advertise on the world's top news and social networking sites. The 100% real virtual reality technology and the NPC that can pass the Turing test just add two unknown mysteries to it.
The players were curious, but not too entangled, because they felt that sooner or later there would be an explanation for this kind of thing.
Relatively speaking, they are still more concerned about the content of the game.
The topic of how to clear the dungeon is the mainstream topic.
"So, has anyone cleared the level? I don't even remember what I went through this night, I just remember dying non-stop!"
"There are four dungeons in total. I tried the Assassin dungeon first and was killed by Emperor Yan Ling. I was even more afraid to enter the Warrior and Ranger dungeons, so I went to experience the Scribes dungeon. After entering, I found that I
I was locked up in a dungeon and couldn't do anything. I was tired, hungry and injured. After a while, someone came to interrogate me. I didn't know how to answer, and then I was dragged out and beheaded..."
"I think the most nightmare is the soldier dungeon. The war scenes are so real! After I was killed twice, I didn't want to play anymore. I can only sigh, I'm glad we live in a peaceful age!"
"So no one has cleared the level? Not one of the four copies has cleared the level?"
"No, I've read all four copies anyway, and I have no clue."
"The goal of the Assassin dungeon is relatively clear, but I don't know how to complete the assassination. I feel that it requires good acting skills; the scribe's dungeon is not yet clear about the specific clearance conditions. It seems that I want to find a way to survive in the dungeon; the warrior dungeon
The dungeon should be about defending the city; the ranger dungeon seems to be about killing a bully, but that bully is too strong, very vigilant and has a lot of subordinates. Anyway, I died in four dungeons over and over again, and I couldn't get through any of them."
"The difficulty of this game is too ridiculous. Is it just for people to play?"
"Is there any official feedback channel? Can the difficulty be lowered a little?"
"Yes, this game is the most difficult one I have ever seen. It's even a bit anti-human. It's such a waste of such good technical skills!"
Zhao Haiping briefly looked through these discussions and found that most players' first impressions of this game were similar to his own.
The technology of this game is really awesome, it's almost like time travel, but the shortcoming is also obvious, it's just too difficult!
Throughout the night, no player was able to clear any of the novice dungeons. This level of difficulty is probably unprecedented, and it is unlikely that anyone will come back in the future.
After all, when most game companies make games, they still have to consider pleasing players. Even if it is a suffering game, it should at least set up a difficulty curve. In the early stage, make a few easier bosses to trick players into killing them.
But what about this game? Not only is it difficult and there is no guidance, the game itself does not have any entrance for feedback. You don’t have to spend a penny to play the game. Qualification for the closed beta is drawn by lottery. It even limits the game time and can only be played at night.
Maybe...this is just having money and being willful?
…
Zhao Haiping got up, washed up, and went to work as usual.
If the game wasn't only open at 10pm, he might just take annual leave and start farming at home.
Just sitting at the work station, I still habitually take out my mobile phone, start fishing, and continue to browse the forum.
I can't help it, I'm addicted.
He was a bit tortured last night and couldn't bear it. In fact, even if the game time was not up, he almost wanted to quit the game and take a rest. After all, there was still some mental pressure from continuous fighting and death.
But after taking a break, Zhao Haiping felt that he could do it again.
Maybe after re-entering the game, I can kill everyone?
It's a pity that the game is under maintenance.
Zhao Haiping flipped through the forum again and found that there were more discussions about "Dark Sand". Obviously, after the first batch of closed beta players completed the discussion, more awakened netizens joined the discussion.
Some people wonder if these beta testers are bragging. After all, this 100% real virtual reality game sounds too much like Zenith Star Technology. They wonder if this is a large-scale scam. There are also rich people who want to buy the beta testers at a high price.
If you are qualified, go in and experience it for yourself.
There is still no big breakthrough in terms of puzzle solving in the game content.
At first, Zhao Haiping felt a little puzzled that so many players didn't figure out the reason?
Later I realized that maybe this was because the number of closed beta players was smaller than I thought.
If there are really hundreds of thousands or millions of players entering, maybe someone will figure it out on the first day, but what if there are only a small number of players? Then the probability of passing the level will definitely be greatly reduced.
Just when Zhao Haiping thought he could only figure it out on his own, a post caught his attention.
"I struggled with this game all night yesterday, but I also came up with some ideas. I got up this morning and checked some information. I came up with some guesses about how to clear the game. I would like to share it with you! I hope everyone can work together and clear it as soon as possible!
"First of all, I can only be regarded as a history buff, but I usually play a lot of puzzle games. There must be many big guys who have richer historical knowledge than me. There may be some omissions in my guess, so I should just use it as a starting point.
"At present, I can basically confirm that these four trials are real events in history.
“Needless to say, the ‘Assassin King Kills the Driver’ in the Assassin Trial is the scene in which Nie Rang assassinates Emperor Yan Ling. Anyone with some basic knowledge of history should be able to guess this.
"The 'please for the people' in the scribes test should be a matter of the Wei Dynasty. At that time, Yang Yan, an ordinary official in the Wei Dynasty, wrote a memorial. As a result, the emperor at that time was furious and threw him into prison and tortured him.
Finding the so-called "backstage" triggered a huge political turmoil. The goal of this copy should be to refute all the officials who came to interrogate with reason and evidence, and torture them before
He must find a way to survive until the emperor dies and a new emperor succeeds to the throne.
"The 'successful general' in the military soldier trial should be something that happened in the middle and late period of Da Chu. At that time, Da Chu was in civil strife and Beidi invaded. The famous general Geng Zhong guarded the northwest border for more than forty years until all the soldiers were gray-haired and only seven
Fourteen people insisted on waiting for reinforcements and finally survived.
"As for the Ranger Trial, it should be a matter of the Liang Dynasty, but firstly, I rarely explored this dungeon at that time, and secondly, I didn't find any iconic names, place names, or specific times, so I can't accurately pinpoint it yet.
What event.
“In fact, after locating the historical prototypes of these dungeons, we can roughly guess their clearance conditions.
"Furthermore, combined with these four different identities and the dungeon trial, I have some guesses about the deep mechanics and themes of the game. However, no one has passed the level yet, so I still cannot accurately grasp the full picture of the game.
So I won’t talk about these conjectures for now, and everyone can explore on their own and come up with other ideas.”
