Chapter 21 The True Meaning of the Martial Soldiers
Let’s look at the discussions among the players on the forum.
Sure enough, as soon as this customs clearance video came out, the entire forum changed direction instantly!
Many people used to complain that the difficulty of this game is unreasonable. On the surface, the degree of freedom is high, but in fact, the degree of freedom is very low, and there is no fun in the game. But after the video came out, these people all shut up!
In the past, many players felt that this game had been boasting a degree of freedom for a long time, but in fact it was not very free. Take the Soldier Trial as an example, how could there be any degree of freedom in this game?
The player is just a small soldier with no right to speak. At most, he can choose one of three average talents and skills to kill the enemy. Facing the endless stream of Beidi barbarians, no matter how the player makes a choice, the final result will be
The results are not much different.
It's all death anyway, the only difference lies in the way of death.
But after seeing this video, they realized that this was not the problem of the game, but their own problem!
This game actually has so many hidden mechanics!
Especially when they saw this big boss player step by step from an ordinary little archer to a lieutenant, and then to a key figure in saving the entire city, the players were all shocked. Apart from shouting 666, they had no words at all.
"Damn it, this game can still be played like this?"
"I felt dizzy. No wonder I couldn't get through the second stage. It turned out to be because I didn't lay a good foundation in the first stage."
"The boss is so fierce! Has he learned martial arts in real life?"
"It turns out that one day is set aside in the second stage to convince the general! In other words, the degree of freedom in this game is indeed very high. As long as you behave in line with the character, anything is possible?"
"It seems that what limits players is not the game itself, but our own imagination! Who would have thought that giving advice to the general would really be useful?"
“It’s not like a game at all, it’s like you’ve really traveled to that world!”
"I'm done with my studies. I'm going to fight the Martial Soldier dungeon tonight!"
"I wonder which big boss is the one who made the first call? Who is the boss? Can the big boss come out and share his experience?"
The previous atmosphere of mourning on the forum has been wiped out, and players have once again ignited the fire of hope for this game!
Is this game difficult?
Difficult! Of course it is difficult!
The most talented players have to spend a full three or four days to pass a copy of the novice trial.
But does this game have a high degree of freedom? Is it fun?
Before this video came out, many players might have given a negative answer, but now, the answer is undoubtedly a resounding yes!
In other words, it is precisely because the difficulty of this game is so high that its mechanism is so free and it is so fun!
Everyone in the game is like being played by a real person, with their own ideas. Some people will be timid, and some will shrink. Depending on the situation, everyone will make different choices.
This will, of course, significantly increase the difficulty of the game.
But it is precisely because of this that players can get a magical experience like time travel. After racking their brains to find a way to pass the level, they will feel extremely refreshed!
Of course, only Zhao Haiping has passed the level so far, and no other players have passed the level.
But after watching Zhao Haiping's clearance video, these players can also feel the joy of completing the level.
Just like many high-difficulty action games, novice players can feel the exhilaration of watching the video of the boss not hurting the boss, and look forward to being able to do it after hard work.
As a hardcore player of action games, he has been active in the forum before and often posts harmless clips of other action games, so he is still well-known.
In this post, the logo of "Master Player of "Dark Sand"" was placed directly after his name. It was golden and very conspicuous.
And the content of his post was wildly forwarded by players and became popular instantly!
"Hello everyone, I am Zhao Haiping, who has just passed the warrior trial.
"I'm still very excited, because I know that the players in this closed beta are all real elite players, and everyone has their own strengths, so being able to complete this first pass is also very beneficial to my entire gaming career.
A meaningful day.
“I won’t go into too much nonsense. Let me briefly talk about my understanding of the game “Dark Sand”.
“I have seen many people online complaining that this game is too difficult and not fun, but I hold a different view.
“I think challenging such a difficult game is the greatest pleasure in itself!
"In this trial dungeon, I died hundreds of times in the three different stages. Especially in the first stage, I was basically numb to death, and only then did I get a perfect start as a second-in-command in the second stage.
"And during the challenge, I also received a lot of help from Chu Ge and tried many possibilities. It wasn't until I was sure that the start of the second and third stages was affected by the first stage that I was really on the right track.
"I believe that other dungeons should have similar special mechanisms. As long as you find the solution, you can see the possibility of completing the level!
"Finally, let me talk about my understanding of the game "Dark Sand" based on my feelings in the warrior dungeon.
"At the end of my clearance, there was this sentence written on the clearance interface: 'I believe that after this simple trial, you will understand the true meaning of the identity of a warrior.'
"What is the true meaning of the identity of a warrior soldier?
“At different stages of the challenge, my understanding of this identity is constantly changing.
"At the beginning, I thought that the soldiers were just ordinary soldiers. When the Beidi barbarians came over, I would not desert, I would try my best not to paddle, and fight with the other soldiers. If I couldn't beat them, I would retreat.
Shrink down and let the brothers come on top.
"Later on, in the second stage, I felt that warriors were just insignificant people. No matter how hard they tried, when facing an enemy several times their size, the only option was to fight to the death.
"But I soon discovered that the identity in this dungeon can also be changed. The better my performance in the first stage, the higher my status will be in the second stage. In this way, I have the ability to influence the direction of the dungeon.
.
“That is to say, ‘a warrior begins in the army’. Although a soldier’s status is low, he can become a warrior in his own right by fighting bloody battles in the army and growing continuously!
"Later, I suggested to the general to dig wells and kill horses, and in three stages I ran out alone to find reinforcements, all as soldiers, which changed the outcome of the entire historical event.
"The name of the copy of the soldier is called 'One General's Success'.
“Originally, I thought it just meant ‘one general succeeds and a thousand bones wither away’, which was emphasizing the cruelty of war.
"The performance in the game is indeed the same. In the soldier trial, I have seen and experienced too many deaths. General Geng Zhong left his name in history, but the more than seventy white-haired
The names of the veterans have not been handed down, and the more Chu soldiers who died defending the city have not received any ink in the history books.
“General Geng Zhong’s success is preceded by the corpses of countless nameless soldiers!
“But later, I felt that this was not the true meaning of the words ‘one general succeeds’, or in other words, not the full meaning.
"Compared to General Geng Zhong, who is famous in history, I actually admire that deputy general more.
"This deputy will accumulate military exploits step by step from an unknown soldier at the bottom, and will be noticed by General Geng Zhong with his outstanding performance. In daily operations, he must have put forward many suggestions similar to digging wells and killing horses. It can be said that if
Without this lieutenant, General Geng Zhong might not have been able to accomplish the feat of guarding the city for decades!
"But this lieutenant did not leave his name in history.
"And we have reason to believe that there are many people around General Geng Zhong who, like this deputy general, have tried their best to make their own contributions.
"When I personally played the role of this lieutenant, racking my brains, exhausting all means, and dying countless times before reaching the heights he had, I truly felt the greatness of these historical figures.
"Because he only had one life and no strategies to look at, and he did great things that I couldn't even imagine!
"So, 'one general succeeds' also reminds us that this is not the achievement of General Geng Zhong alone, but the result of countless people with the status of 'war soldiers' who threw their heads, shed their blood, and worked together!
"This is what I think is the real uniqueness of this game. It is really difficult. As for the gameplay and entertainment, it varies from person to person. Maybe for some people, it is really not fun.
"But I think the game "Dark Sands" is unique enough and thought-provoking enough. All players who have qualified for the closed beta should really experience it!"
