As a special agent leader of the special department, his mission is to investigate the mysterious game "Dark Sand".
As long as there is progress in the investigation, new reports must be submitted to the superior department every day.
After clearing the Assassin Trial, he had written down the entire process of clearing the trial in detail in a report, and also made some analysis on the game "Dark Sands" and this mysterious company.
But these are still far from enough.
I originally thought that being the first player to pass the Assassin Trial would definitely get in touch with the official, but I didn't expect that the official was quite cold and had no contact except sending him a message.
Du Gang also tried to reply to this message and wanted to contact the customer service of the game, but received no response at all.
I have no choice but to think of other ways and continue the investigation.
I woke up this morning and took a look at the official website of "Dark Sand" and found that all four trial dungeons had been breached. Logically speaking, today's report has been completed.
As long as we analyze the situation of these four copies and come up with some ideas, we should be able to compare.
But Du Gang is older than the average players after all, and his professional knowledge in history and other aspects is not very good, so he racked his brains for a whole morning, but still has no clue and can't think of anything new.
angle.
"I would rather go out to the field ten times than write a report. Oh, it gives me a headache!
"It would be great if someone could write this for me."
Du Gang smoked a cigarette with a sad look on his face.
The biggest headache for him is writing reports. If it is a normal report, it is handed over to a special pen in the team to complete. He can slip away as much as he can.
I can't help it, I'm really not good at it. Just like when I was in school, some students would write a composition of several hundred words just for fun, while some students would have to write it out word by word.
But this time it didn’t work. I couldn’t hand it over to a dedicated writing staff in the team, because he was the only one who got the qualification for the closed beta of the game “Dark Sand”.
Others have no idea what he experienced in the game. How to write this report?
So he had to come in person.
After holding it in for a long time, I gained nothing. I have written all the previous reports that can be written about the Assassin Trial. I really can't think of anything new today.
I had no choice but to open the official website to see the discussions among players and find some inspiration.
As he turned over the pages, Du Gang's eyes lit up.
Because he saw that Chu Ge, who had cleared the scribe copy and posted the most guides so far, posted a new post!
And the title of this post is very informative at first glance.
"Briefly talk about the overlooked details of the four novice trial copies of "Dark Sand", and analyze the cultural connotation of this game."
Du Gang felt as if he was suddenly greeted by the rain after a long drought. Isn't this exactly what he needs?
Quickly click on the post to view it.
Although the Scribes dungeon was completely conquered only last night, before that, Chu Ge, as the person with the fastest progress in the Scribes dungeon, had also posted some strategy posts online.
It's just that the content of those strategy posts are relatively simple, or concise, and are just pure text information.
But this time it’s different, Chu Ge posted a video!
The official just happened to open a forum on the official website and also opened a video function, which happened to be used by Chu Ge.
There are not many comments yet, but every time you refresh, you can see that the number of comments is growing rapidly, which shows that the video is still popular and has great potential to become popular in the future.
Du Gang immediately clicked on the video to view it.
…
The materials used in the video are all official clearance videos of the four trial dungeons.
It can be seen that Chu Ge's editing skills are not very good. He just symbolically edited some scenes corresponding to the copy based on the content of his own video, which is not that particular.
But this is enough.
The significance of this video lies mainly in what Chu Ge said, not in the pictures.
"Hello everyone, I am Chu Ge, the first player to clear the scribe dungeon. Today's video is mainly based on some of my experiences in the scribe dungeon to analyze the details in the game "Dark Sand" that many people have not noticed.
“You can view this video as a guide to this game, providing guidance for future game content, or you can view it as an appreciation and analysis of the game to better understand the differences between the game “Dark Sand” and other games.
Very different.
"Without further ado, I will explain the differences between these four identities in the order of assassin, ranger, scribe, and warrior, as well as the details in the trial copy.
"The first is the Assassin copy.
“When most players first enter this game, the first thing they experience is the Assassin dungeon.
"In my opinion, the assassin copy is the best representative of the game "Dark Sand" because it clearly points out the three difficulty directions of the game for players: knowledge, combat power and role-playing ability, which is what we often say
's acting skills.
"Compared with other dungeons, the Assassin dungeon has the most comprehensive requirements. The Soldier dungeon mainly requires combat power, and some additional knowledge; the Scribes dungeon mainly requires knowledge, and some additional acting skills; the Ranger dungeon almost only requires combat power.
"Assassin's dungeon is indispensable for all three. If there is any shortcoming in any aspect, you will not be able to pass the level.
"This is also the biggest difference between the game "Dark Sand" and other games: its difficulty comes from three dimensions, so it is indeed too difficult for players who have just entered.
“But after I finished the game, I felt that Dark Sands is the game that truly takes the concept of role-playing to its extreme.
"The rules of other role-playing games are obviously too loose. It doesn't matter whether you are running around or doing irrelevant things in the game, but this is not the case in "Dark Sand". If you do anything that is not in line with the character, you will be punished.
The NPC in the dungeon becomes suspicious and leads to failure.
"Of course, this does not mean that the game does not have a high degree of freedom. As long as what you do matches the character, you can also do things you have never thought of before and naturally turn the situation around.
“This is true role-playing, more real than a movie set!
"So, the Assassin Trial is a guide, reminding us that if you want to pass this game, you need to have at least two of the three: combat power, knowledge, and acting skills. One is outstanding, the other is just average, and the last one is
Use talents and skills to make up for the items, so that you can continue to play.
“Next, let’s talk about the Ranger dungeon.
"The difference between the Ranger dungeon and the Assassin dungeon is that this is a dungeon that almost only requires combat ability. Even after watching the clearance video of the Ranger dungeon, many players will feel that the style of this dungeon is obviously different from the other three dungeons.
.
"After all, the other three dungeons all have corresponding historical events. As for the Ranger dungeon, I don't know who the protagonist is at all, and I can't even search for the name 'Xue Tianba'.
“I think this can be explained from the positioning of four different identities.
"In fact, it was difficult to distinguish between knights and assassins in the two dynasties of Yan and Chu and before that. While knights performed chivalrous acts of justice, they often broke the law, or became impoverished because of their righteousness and sparse wealth, so they relied on some
It is a very common phenomenon for powerful people to become retainers. These powerful people often order them to assassinate political opponents. Therefore, most of the famous assassins in history have experience as knight-errants and retainers.
"But in the game "Dark Sands", assassins and rangers are distinguished into two completely different professional identities, which re-strengthens their connotations.
"It can be seen from the exclusive talent skills that the assassin's characteristic is to assassinate those key figures who occupy high positions but cause great harm. Careful preparations are required before the assassination, and the assassination is done by any means, just for success; while the ranger's characteristic is to replace
In Tian Xingdao, most of the people killed were gentry and powerful people, and after killing, they would aim to escape intact.
"The most important thing is that the definition of ranger status in "Dark Sand" is different from the definition in history.
"We all know that there is a saying that 'a chivalrous person breaks the law with force.' The most famous chivalrous man in the Chu Dynasty was named Zhou Jie. He was not handsome, short in stature, vicious-hearted, and had a bad temper. He often got into fights because of minor conflicts.
In fights, he was not serious or serious, and he killed many people. He also did other things, including hiding fugitives, making counterfeit money, digging up other people's ancestral graves, and so on.
"Later, as he became more and more famous and had more and more followers, he began to whitewash himself, showing that he could repay evil with kindness and show his magnanimity, but in fact it was all just a show. Someone reported his illegal behavior to the government, and as a result
He beat the complainer to death directly at the yamen gate.
"In short, he was executed by the emperor in the end, and his entire family was executed. But such a person can be said to be a full-fledged gangster, and a very bad kind, but he was the most famous ranger in the Chu Dynasty. This is obviously
It does not conform to the interpretation of the identity of "Ranger" in the game "Dark Sand", nor does it conform to the public's first impression of the identity of "Ranger".
"In the Ranger Trial of "Dark Sand", a ranger image that is more in line with the public's imagination was proposed.
"If you think about it carefully, who is Xue Tianba? He is a bully and powerful, but in fact he is closer to the historical image of "Ranger" like Zhou Jie.
"Xue Tianba comes from a wealthy family and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. The first time he encountered a player, he would pretend to fight the player with bare hands and did not immediately attack the player or call him. This shows that he has some chivalry.
Spirit.
"However, he oppresses the good, commits all evil, and harms everyone, which shows that what he thinks of as 'chivalrous spirit' is actually a very low-level sense of loyalty.
"On the other hand, the ranger played by the player risked his life to kill Xue Tianba, not for fame and profit. This incident has not even been recorded in the history books.
"Purely to do justice for heaven and take care of the injustices in the world. When the government and ancient laws cannot uphold justice, there will be knights who will come forward to uphold justice.
"And this process is extremely dangerous. Xue Tianba is very powerful, has great martial arts skills, and has many servants and thugs under him. But even so, the ranger played by the player still killed him and retired successfully.
"This is 'I will tell you today, no one will have any injustice', this is 'Kill a person in ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles'!"
"So, the profound meaning of the Ranger dungeon is: Are you going to be a fake ranger like Xue Tianba, or a real ranger like the protagonist? When you can not gain any fame or fortune, but still risk your life to complete something almost
You can only be considered a true ranger when you undertake an impossible mission and seek justice for the poor and weak people!"
