Chapter 99 Why didn't anyone rescue the princess

?

Tianba Community.

The official communication community, which originally had an average daily active volume of several hundred or several thousand people, suddenly attracted tens of thousands of people with the hot sales of "Divine Grace Continent".

Guo Mo hasn't been to the community for a long time.

The main reason is that he has been very busy recently. His grandfather was sick and hospitalized, and his parents were away and couldn't come back, so he simply stopped broadcasting for a week and concentrated on taking care of the elderly in the hospital.

Grandpa's operation went smoothly. He was discharged from the hospital yesterday and today he went to take a walk and play chess with his old friends.

Guo Mo, who was bored at home, simply turned on the live broadcast to tell old viewers about his grandfather's situation and learn about the latest information of "Star Emperor".

That’s right!

As a host of "Star Emperor", how can I not get some game information after stopping for so long?

Mainly to check the update announcements! During his hiatus, did Tianba Studio release any new characters? Were the characters he often played weakened or strengthened? Was there any change to the game?

With this thought in mind, Guo Mo opened Tianba's official website, logged into his account skillfully, and then clicked on the player community.

As soon as he entered the community, he was confused.

From the time his grandfather fell ill, to when he stopped broadcasting and went to the hospital to take care of him, to when his grandfather was discharged from the hospital... calculating the time, he hadn't been to the community for at most half a month.

How come the community has changed so much in just half a month? In the past, the Tianba community was a familiar page for reading posts. Whether it was the Cowherd Sect or the Gu Mua Sect, or the Immortal Kings and Emperors who had gone a long way on the road to becoming immortals, everyone exchanged their experiences here.

But now, the player community has divided into different communication sections based on different games and groups of people.

"Cattle breeding", "Real estate transactions", "Digital technology", "Anime online", "Brother Ba support" and "Station management"...

What? What is this? Every name of these sub-sections made Guo Mo feel unfamiliar and difficult to understand. He could only understand "Station Management", which should be the section for feedback and handling of community and official website issues.

With a hint of curiosity, he moved the mouse, selected the "Cattle Breeding" section with the pointer and clicked the left button to confirm.

[Rational discussion, is Brother Ba like this? Why hasn't "Han Chuang Ku Du Simulator" been updated for so long? ]

[A review of the 6th offline gathering of the Cowherd Cult, the location of this gathering...]

[The hard drive is broken, please send me another copy of the old scalper's rough picture! ]

Got it, this is the headquarters of the Cowherd Cult! It is also the player exchange section of "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator".

Guo Mo seemed to understand why this section was called "Cattle Breeding".

Next up, real estate transactions!

This section is more lively than the previous one, and is filled with various game discussions about "Living Under Someone Else's House Simulator".

There are also old players who come forward to tell new players from their own experience that there are two types of house purchases: basic needs and investment. But no matter which one it is, the sooner you buy a house, the better...

Next one, digital technology!

As soon as he opened this section, Guo Mo immediately felt like he was back home.

Sure enough, this is the "Star Emperor" player exchange area, and 80% of the posts here are related to the game "Star Emperor".

Why 80%?

The remaining 20% ​​of the posts cannot be said to have nothing to do with "Star Emperor", but they are mainly related to "Xianyu Digital".

After taking a look at the latest popular posts and pinned posts in the "Digital Technology" section, Guo Mo had an idea.

During the week when he was off the air, "Star Emperor" did undergo a round of routine maintenance updates, but did not introduce any new characters or game balance changes.

Most community players are condemning Brother Ba, saying that he has forgotten his old love since he has a new one, and that "Star Emperor" has not released any new characters for five months!

"Indeed!"

Guo Mo thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

It has been five months since the last new character [Skybeauty Supreme] was released in "Star Emperor". It is time to release a new character to appease the restless players.

Keba brother...

Not only do they not release new characters, they are also too lazy to release new skins. However, Xianyu Digital is very active in restocking. When the 40 series was out of stock across the entire network, Xianyu Digital never ran out of 4090 and 4080. No matter when you go to buy them, they are always in stock.

Focus on a relationship-based household!

I don't know how many times Brother Ba sold his butt to get so many graphics cards in stock from the graphics card manufacturers. All scalpers have to get the goods from Brother Ba. His background is so strong.

The most outrageous thing is that someone once shared his shopping experience, saying that he bought a defective card at a certain Tmall flagship store of Renshuo and immediately asked the customer service for a replacement.

Because it’s 4090, the flagship store doesn’t have much stock, so a direct refund can be processed, but it’s more difficult to exchange for a new card.

Finally, the customer service said helplessly, I will give you a full refund. If you really want to buy my 4090, go to the next door Xianyu Digital and have a look. Brother Ba must have the product...

"Hey, Brother Ba!"

Guo Mo shook his head and was too lazy to complain about Brother Ba. After all, Brother Ba had just released a new game, so it was normal that he had no time to update "Star Emperor".

Speaking of new games, he immediately became interested.

He also plays "Divine Grace", and he is one of the first players to get the early access version. He is still very curious about this game.

So... this "Anime Online" section, couldn't it be the communication area for players of "Shennun Land"?

With a hint of curiosity, Guo Mo opened the "Anime Online" section of the community and browsed the posts in that section.

He thought that since this was a gaming community after all, the topics discussed here wouldn't be too outrageous.

Who would have known...

The players of "Divine Grace Continent" seemed to think differently from him.

In the "Anime Online" section, no one seriously discusses games. Everyone discusses animation production, video editing, soundtrack synthesis for dubbing and music, and script copywriting.

"ah?"

Guo Mo took a look at the community section introduction without giving up: Welcome to "Anime Online", this is the player exchange section of "Shennong Continent", please check the top post for content standards and rules...

You didn’t go the wrong way!

Isn't this the community for players of Shen'en Continent? How come it looks like a professional animation forum? After a closer look, it seems that there are quite a few foreigners active here, speaking Japanese, English, French, and various professional terms that make people dizzy.

The content of the posts varies.

But the theme is the same, they are all questions or answers about how to use the software "Shennong Continent" to create exclusive Shennong animations.

"software?"

Seeing that people in this forum are used to referring to "Divine Grace Continent" as a software instead of a game, Guo Mo felt a little angry.

How can you talk nonsense?

"Shennong Continent" is clearly an excellent RPG turn-based adventure game, so how can it be an animation production software? In order to correct this mistake and eliminate the unhealthy trends in the forum, Guo Mo thought about it, and finally clicked to post a message and typed out a line of words on the keyboard.

"Have you forgotten your identities, the king's instructions, the princess by Daming Lake, and the mission you shouldered?"

Go and save the princess!

These people were truly unworthy of the title of "heroes". As soon as they walked out of the palace's main gate, they immediately forgot about rescuing the princess.

Are you doing this right by the king? He gave you a huge reward of 10 gold coins! ...

"Princess?"

"Oh, that's right! If he hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that 'Divine Grace Land' is an adventure game about a brave man fighting a demon king."

Chen Ba also saw Guo Mo's post and suddenly realized, "It's been so long, no one has yet to complete the level and defeat the demon king, right?"

“There are still some…”

Zhong Shengwei coughed and said with a slightly awkward expression: "So far, there are about 8,000 players who have achieved the level-clearing achievement."

"The clearance rate is not even 1%?"

Chen Ba's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "So low? No, what are the heroes doing? Why don't they go and save the princess?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Who will save the princess?"

"The serious heroes are either watching anime or making them. The matter of rescuing the princess has probably been forgotten long ago."

Zhong Shengwei smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Ba, haven't you noticed that even the player exchange forum of "Shennong Continent" has become a professional animation forum?"

"I know this..."

Chen Ba nodded.

He is also a person who surfs the Internet frequently, and he must have paid attention to the official forum of his own game.

At the beginning, the "Shennong Land" community was indeed discussing the game seriously.

But since the discovery of the "Shen's Grace Animation Player" and "Shen's Grace Animation Production" features, the community has changed.

People either share and recommend the Shen'en animations that they think are good in the community, or post questions related to the production of Shen'en animations.

The Divine Grace animation is a new thing.

If you want to learn about this new thing, the official forum is a good channel.

As a result, with more and more laymen interested in "Shennong Animation" pouring in, the official player community of "Shennong Continent" has become a platform for technology sharing and communication.

There are many animation professionals active here. From their communication, you can not only learn some knowledge related to animation production, but also understand and grasp the latest industry news.

game?

Who wants to talk about games with you! If you want to talk, let's talk about which new Shen'en animations have been released recently, how are their performance and word of mouth? Is the professional version of "Shennen Continent" worth buying?

How can a novice use "Shenn's Land" to make an animation like "The Adventures of Jayne"?

Only when the conversation was in full swing, an inappropriate voice might appear in the crowd: "Um... I just bought "God's Grace Continent", how should I match the lineup?"

Is this trend good or bad?

Chen Ba didn't know either. Anyway, he was only responsible for arson. As for who would be burned after the fire was set, it was none of his business.

He's just a game developer with a few side jobs at best, that's all.

As the main business, game development and updating are the core business of Tianba Studio and also what Chen Ba is doing.

He didn't need to worry about "This Brave Man is Too Steady". If the dubbing and editing could keep up, it would have been completed in a few days.

However, the launch of the new character of "Star Emperor" gave him a headache...

As a multiplayer online fighting game, "Star Emperor" has undergone multiple rounds of updates, and the number of characters has gradually increased from the original 6 to 14.

To be honest, having too few characters is not a good thing, but having too many characters is not a good thing either.

Because in a fighting game like this, the more characters there are, the more complicated and difficult the balancing task becomes, and the systems involved become more and more bloated.

New characters are definitely going to be released.

There hasn’t been a new character released for five months, and the Chen Ba family tree has been rotated by players. If it continues to be delayed, the consequences will be disastrous.

But as the number of characters increases, the debate about Ban/Pick becomes more and more serious.

Players unanimously requested that the Ban/Pick mechanism be introduced in the ranking mode of "Star Emperor" so that players can disable some characters.

There are also many people within the studio who support this plan.

The Ban/Pick mechanism can greatly reduce the workload of "game balance". For some characters with obvious restraint relationships, players can just ban them.

For example.

The Star Emperor is very effective against the newly released Skybeauty Supreme. It’s very simple. When you want to play Skybeauty Supreme, just ban the Star Emperor.

In this way, the next time a new character is released, you only need to consider the overall balance, and there is no need to consider whether there is a restraint relationship between the characters.

Just restrain yourself!

At worst, I'll just ban him, so what can you do if you can restrain him? Unless a character has too many natural enemies and there are not enough ban slots, it won't be a big problem.

There are hundreds of heroes in League of Legends, and there are many heroes with obvious restraint relationships among them. When playing solo, just ban the natural enemy and you're done.

"But there are 15 characters. If each character has two ban slots as you said, and you choose one more, the options are very small."

Chen Ba has no problem with the Ban/Pick mechanism, but he has a problem with the number of Ban slots.

The opinions of players and those within the studio are more inclined to allow one person to have two ban slots, thus completely solving the problem of "natural enemies".

But Chen Ba felt that the number of characters in "Star Emperor" was still too small. If both sides banned four characters at once, and the other side picked one more, they would only be able to pick one out of ten.

Not a lot of choice!

Some players may not have many specialized characters, only two or three, and if they are unlucky and all of them are banned, they will feel that they are being targeted.

"Then who can he blame if he doesn't practice his role?"

Yang Dong feels that since the Ban/Pick mechanism is to be introduced in the ranking competition, it will largely test the player's "comprehensiveness".

If you don't have many characters you are good at and you have no choice but to play them after they are banned, you can't blame the mechanism for being too cruel, but should blame yourself for not practicing enough characters in your daily life.

Everyone has the same ban position, why don't others worry about this problem, but you are the only one who is worried? What's more! Even in a game like League of Legends, where the red and blue sides have a total of ten ban positions, there are still a large number of "special skills guys" active.

So this problem is not as serious as Chen Ba thought.

It is a low probability event that all your favorite characters are banned. The high probability event is that your opponent does not know you and does not know what characters you are good at, and just randomly bans two based on personal preference and restraint relationship.

If it's just a coincidence that you are recognized and all your best characters are banned, then your loss is indeed not unfair.

After all, they are more prepared and have special tactics, but you are not prepared at all and are unwilling to spend time practicing your character. Who can you blame if you lose? 　I will update regularly in the afternoon and evening, starting with 8K. If I have more free time, I will update 10,000 per day. Thank you Xieyangluan and Yidiandian for your rewards, and thank you for your monthly tickets and subscriptions! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
