Chapter 343 City Esports Competition
A few days later.
Discussions about the "Veteran Equipment BUG" continue to ferment on major platforms.
However, the discussion has also decreased a little.
To be more precise, "the popularity is still there, but no one treats it as a bug anymore."
The few players who initially shouted "Officials, please fix it soon" have fallen silent, and some even added in a subsequent thread:
"I retract this. I was wrong. This isn't a bug. This is a feature."
"I'm now focusing on training to wear veteran gear, and I can't stop!"
What's more, some people directly started making a video tutorial on veteran equipment configuration on Bilibili, and even came up with the title:
[A must-read for the poor! How to train ten equipment veterans in one chapter!]
[Is the PVE main quest difficult? Use this set of equipment to blast through the enemy lines!]
[I suspect this game has some RPG genes hidden in it!]
[Who should I give the equipment to? Infantry, Assassins, Grenadiers, and all those who can be upgraded to Veterans!]
Another anchor on a video platform released a clip of the actual recording.
Because in mission mode,
The later levels will be very difficult.
The player successfully passed the level by constantly combining different equipment and different veterans.
It immediately attracted the attention of many people.
“I would call it the most interesting setting!”
"This is actually an infantryman?!"
"Did the planner see this? Hurry up and add a veteran illustration system!"
"Do you have a guide on the best pairing?"
"I feel like I'm a little reluctant to let this veteran with his equipment go to the battlefield!"
On the same day that this video went viral, another discussion thread topped the trending search list:
Regarding the rationality of the veteran system: I believe this is not a bug, but rather the essence of the campaign gameplay that is deeply buried.
The poster is obviously a pedantic player.
He just came out and posted a long post, listing the eight great benefits of [Equipping Veterans]!
Among them, the number one reason is:
"It greatly enhances the strategic dimension, making the main quest more directional and no longer just mindlessly piling up troops."
"Previously, the main quests could only be completed with the help of traditional units. Now, by training a few veterans and equipping them with equipment, they can be transformed into functional units. We can even create things like 'High Mobility Steam Cars' and 'Blood Bull Assassins.'"
In the level of Chapter 10, a brother posted:
"Without the equipped soldiers, I wouldn't be able to get through the final breach battle in this chapter!"
"The wave of Whale Abyss aliens behind us suddenly charged forward, carrying an explosive infection mechanism, and blew up four of my strongholds in one go. I really couldn't withstand it."
"I trained a dozen or so soldiers who were originally assassins into veterans, stuffed them all into a 'heavy deck' formation, and charged directly into the back row. I withstood the attacks for a long time before I completely wiped out the enemy ranged soldiers!!"
"PVE missions are inherently difficult, and with limited resources and commanders' limited mobility, if soldiers can't equip their equipment flexibly, then this level is simply impossible to beat."
Lu Ming looked at these comments and growled in his heart.
"Good boy! You don't have any analytical bottleneck at all!"
He flipped through one of the long articles and saw the following at the beginning:
"I have always believed that a truly excellent RTS game should have a certain development dimension."
"While maintaining its core real-time strategy gameplay, Ming Dynasty Edict quietly incorporates a nebulous mechanism of 'soldier growth + equipment expansion'."
"From a design perspective, this can be fully understood as a form of 'non-public experimental content,' giving players room to explore independently."
"If the Beiming team intends to keep this mechanism, I believe the depth of the entire campaign gameplay will be taken to another level!"
What is "fuzzy mechanism"?
What is "experimental content"?
Are you here to give me a golden body?
What's even more outrageous is that this long article has attracted many people's approval.
"There are so many ways to play with soldiers wearing equipment. I suggest that this be popularized!"
"It would be nice if PVE and PVP didn't have to be completely separated. It would allow for more fun!"
"Yeah! I'm also stuck on the plot. Veteran gear is really a lifesaver!"
The comment with over 10,000 likes even directly made a doggerel:
It's not easy for a soldier to wear armor.
The lives of the five generals at the three passes were in jeopardy.
Once you become a god and wear the equipment,
It’s easy to penetrate the Whale Abyss!
Lu Ming's eyes twitched as he watched, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Are you playing a game, or writing a legend about a soldier?"
This is a BUG!
Are you on the wrong channel?
From a communication perspective, this wave of public opinion is gaining a crazy positive momentum.
Especially those players who originally thought PVE was "monotonous" suddenly found new goals and a sense of accomplishment.
Lu Ming was speechless. Although the BUG he had planted had been discovered,
But why did players give it all positive reviews?
Does this allow them to enjoy the benefits of the BUG?
However, Lu Ming firmly believed that
This is just an accident!
The remaining BUGs should be able to play their original role!
…
Two days later,
There is no news about new BUG issues.
I don't know if someone found it out but didn't say anything, or if there was no reaction at all.
Lu Ming and others were getting a little anxious.
Could the casual markings made at that time really be so harmonious?
How about an activity where everyone can find the differences?
Lu Ming was a little worried.
The testing of "Songmai Qiandeng" has been completed and it is ready to go online at any time.
When Lu Ming was hesitating whether to go online,
The phone rang again!
Lu Ming glanced at the note. It was Lin Zhi calling.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Lu!"
"There is something I need to report to you in advance."
"What's up?"
"Mr. Ke from Lemon Tang came to see me again."
"I've searched for it several times!"
"He said he wanted to hold a city-wide esports individual competition for 'The Great Ming Imperial Decree'."
Lu Ming: “…”
"What?"
"Mr. Ke means that Lemon Tang is developing very fast now. Since their previous collaboration with "Involuntary", it has become popular again."
"So, what Mr. Ke meant was that they would be responsible for organizing the event themselves, and would be in charge of the local venue, prize money, commentary, and advertising resources."
"They also said they've contacted internet cafe alliances in several cities and are planning to launch an 'RTS Reignition Plan', starting with regional tournaments and culminating in a major finals. It won't be large-scale, but they've already made a complete implementation plan and it will be ready to go soon!"
"So, they want our authorization. Simply put, it means using 'The Imperial Decree of the Great Ming Dynasty' as the only designated competition event, allowing them to promote it, and even allowing some of the game content to be pre-installed and installed in designated internet cafes."
"Um……"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment.
"Also, Mr. Ke specifically mentioned on the phone that he's an RTS player himself. He thinks Ming Dynasty Decree is very suitable for competitive play. It's fast-paced, highly entertaining, and has a fully utilized multi-faction mechanic. Most importantly, there's ample room for maneuvering, allowing for a high-level difference in play."
"This kind of reversal is also very entertaining!"
"Actually, I personally think that organizing a competition like this is a good idea. Esports competitions are very popular right now. If our game can become popular and attract a lot of players!"
“This is definitely our first step into esports!”
“…”
Lu Ming was silent for a moment.
Ke Zhiyuan's face immediately appeared in his mind.
He excitedly patted his chest at the meeting and promised to give away free milk tea nationwide...
As a result, that wave of operations directly caused him to lose hundreds of millions.
It even made him quit drinking milk tea!
Lu Ming hasn't recovered from his shock yet.
Lu Ming is still thinking!
