Chapter 239: Karma evil cultivator, death is not a pity!

As an MMORPG online game, "Cultivation Fantasy" has PVP gameplay like other games.

PVP is free PK.

As long as the player leaves the safe zone, he or she may be attacked maliciously by other players. Unprovoked attacks or even killing of players will result in deduction of merit and karma.

When Chen Ba first designed this PVP gameplay, he wanted to simulate the process of "killing people and robbing treasures" in the world of cultivation, so that players could feel the cruelty and darkness of the world of cultivation.

The idea is good.

Because other MMO online games also have this kind of gameplay mechanism, Chen Ba doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it.

But he never expected that in the game "Cultivation Fantasy", because of the existence of merit and karma, the free PK turned into a confrontation between the "good" and "evil" camps.

"Dual-camp gameplay?"

"Yes! It's a bit like the battle between the Horde and the Alliance in World of Warcraft. The actual game environment is even more cruel than this."

Chen Ba explained: "Killing the evil cultivators of the karma route will gain merit rewards, but killing normal merit cultivators will not only not get any rewards, but will also have their merits deducted..."

Normal people know how to choose.

By the same token, evil practitioners who follow the karma path need endless karma in order to increase their strength.

To put it simply, Chen Ba did not design the so-called faction gameplay at first. What he wanted was free PK, revenge when there was revenge, grievances when there was grievance, and just killing and stealing treasures from whoever he disliked.

But because of the existence of the merit and karma system, the players divided themselves into two camps.

Moreover, there are huge conflicts and contradictions between the two camps. On the surface, in order to increase strength and improve the realm of cultivation, they have to kill the players of the enemy camp.

Secretly, players who take the merit route and players who take the karma route are two completely opposite groups. They dislike each other, so it is understandable that they quarrel.

"Hypocrite, dog of heaven!"

"You're full of foul language and polluting the game!"

Karma players account for a small proportion, even less than half, only 30%. But these players are all very powerful, including krypton gold masters and technical gods, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are invincible at the same level.

Because of this, this seemingly unbalanced "dual camp" gameplay actually maintained a balance in a strange way, and the merit monks did not gain an advantage.

"So that's how it is..."

Xiao Lu said with a click of his tongue: "I thought that the average quality of people in "Cultivation Fantasy" was really that high, and everyone was a role model of morality!"

"How is that possible!"

"The situation you mentioned does exist. Players who pursue merit rewards are indeed of high quality. They are upright even when playing other games."

Chen Ba smiled and said, "But it's not the same for players who pursue karma, because they don't want merit, they only want karma, so their average quality is worrying."

The better ones may just not be able to control their mouths and like to curse and swear at others in the game, but they don’t do anything too bad.

As for those evil cultivators who would do anything for strength, their bottom line is much lower...

"The Heavenly Dao program runs in the background, monitoring the player's behavior. In addition to issuing merit rewards, it also gives karma."

Chen Ba shared a piece of little-known knowledge.

This is also a point that is ignored or even despised by most people. Because for most players, karma is a pure calamity. Who would want this thing?

But they don’t want it, but players who take the karma route want it!

"so……"

Chen Ba raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "Cultivation Fantasy not only has a group of high-quality merit players, but also a group of karma players who chase chickens and dogs and do nothing."

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Lu was a little confused. What did Brother Ba mean by this? Did he mean that the bug in the Heavenly Dao program of "Cultivation Fantasy" had a negative effect? ​​"Of course there is!"

Before Chen Ba opened his mouth, Yang Dong beside him had already thought of a possibility and couldn't help but complain: "If someone uses bugs to gain merit, there must be someone who uses bugs to gain karma."

Players are divided into good and evil, and different camps have different positions, but game bugs don’t have these...

This is just like a machete. Some people use it to cut watermelons, while some people use it to stab people. People can be divided into good and evil, but the knife as a tool cannot.

"You are right."

Chen Ba nodded: "It is true that some Karma players took advantage of the bugs in our game and went to other games to stir up trouble, causing chaos in other games."

Everything is for the purpose of becoming stronger! Killing unscrupulous foreigners can earn you merits, so if you help unscrupulous foreigners kill Chinese players, won’t your karma increase?

Killing the cheating dog can gain merit, so if I think about it the other way around, and directly kill the green players with cheats, can't I gain karma? Xiao Lu: "..."

He shouted in his heart, "Wow!" The merit players called these karma players evil practitioners and beat them up whenever they saw them. He thought it was too much.

Isn't it just a different way of playing the game, a different style of gameplay? Calling others evil practitioners and calling on everyone to join in, saying there is no need to use any martial ethics to deal with evil demons? Isn't this too extreme?

But now, after listening to Brother Ba's story, he just wanted to say that it was a good kill! There was really no need to be moral when dealing with these evil demons, and the brothers were too gentle! "Is this how the game is played?"

Xiao Lu was very confused. At first, he was surprised when some players gained merit by killing foul-mouthed foreigners in other games.

I never expected that there are even more heavyweight evil players in "Cultivation Fantasy". In order to become stronger and increase their karma, they do all kinds of disgusting things that harm others and themselves.

"Don't worry, there aren't many players like this. Most of them have their own bottom line. At most, they will scold and swear at others, but they won't do such a thing."

Chen Ba explained: "But there is indeed a small group of players who act recklessly and do whatever it takes to gain strength, ruining the reputation of "Cultivation Fantasy" everywhere..."

Thinking of the phone call he received this morning, Chen Ba moved to Bengbu.

The call was from a friendly company.

The person in charge of the friendly company told Chen Ba on the phone that one of their Moba games suddenly had a lot more players who were AFK, taking showers, swearing at others, and disgusting their teammates.

"No, what does this have to do with me?"

Chen Ba was quite puzzled at first. If there was a problem with your game, how could it have anything to do with him? He didn't play this game, so it couldn't be him who ordered it, right?

"It's really your fault!"

"Do you know where these players come from? They are all players of your "Cultivation Fantasy". Can't you do something about it?"

Chen Ba: “…”

They had come to his door and produced evidence. Even though Chen Ba had a thick skin like a bend in a city wall, he still felt embarrassed and blushed.

Evil cultivators, they really deserve to die! This group of evil cultivators, not only do they bring disaster to the fairy world, but they also go to bring disaster to other games for the sake of karma, making Chen Ba lose face in front of his peers. This is really unforgivable.

Because of this, Chen Ba specially convened a meeting to discuss whether to remove the special mechanism of "karma"? "The existence of the karma mechanism has indeed brought a bad influence to "Xiuzhen Fantasy", but I think this mechanism cannot be removed."

Yang Dong expressed his opinion.

He said that it is the players' freedom to play the game however they want. As game developers, all they can do is watch the fire from the other side of the river, and the issues in the game should be resolved in the game.

Once karma is removed, the only path left in the game will be merit, which will undoubtedly be a torture for many players who don't like being bound and yearn for freedom.

Also, it’s not good for the gaming environment.

Half of the credit for today's high-quality players and the harmonious atmosphere of "Cultivation Fantasy" can be attributed to these evil cultivators.

As the saying goes, red flowers need green leaves.

Without the contrast of these evil players, how can the high quality and cultivation of the virtuous players be highlighted?

"I think so."

Xiao Lu agreed. His opinion was the same as Dong Ge's. Karma cannot be removed. At most, a few patches can be made to restrict the players.

How many karma players are there?

Compared with the huge number of merit players, the impact caused by these karma players is extremely limited. Overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, so there is no need to remove them.

Most importantly…

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

These karma players, in order to gain karma and improve their strength, do bad things everywhere and behave like inhuman beings. It sounds like their behavior is extremely bad, enough to be shot in five minutes.

But what does this have to do with "Xiu Zhen Fantasy"? What does this have to do with Tianba Studio?

As long as they accumulate karma and don’t bring it to the games under Tianba Studio, we can turn a blind eye and pretend we saw nothing.

If competitors complain or make complaints, that is their business. If their accounts need to be blocked, they should be blocked. Tianba Studio has no obligation to help them clean up their messes and resolve their problems.

“That makes sense!”

Chen Ba thought about it and felt that Xiao Lu was right. As long as these karma players didn't do anything stupid and didn't cause trouble in Tianba's games, there was no need for him to care about them.

Cheat to earn karma? How abominable! But what does this have to do with Tianba? He should be banned in whatever game he cheats in.

It's impossible that Player A cheated in the game "XX Assault" and Tianba Studio blocked his game account of "Cultivation Fantasy"?

This is totally unacceptable.

As for swearing, AFK and so on, Tianba Studio has no right to interfere.

The only thing they could do was to send out a large number of "meritorious" players to wipe out this small group of evil karma monks.

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lu and Yang Dong widened their eyes and asked in surprise, "Send the Merit players to wipe out these Karma players?"

"Yes, you heard it right."

"There are bounty daily quests in the game, right? We can change that and add a few new bounty quests."

Chen Ba explained: "For example, if a bounty is offered for a certain evil karma cultivator who has committed many evil deeds, the player can accept the task and then go to other games to arrest and punish him."

"After completing the mission, you can get a lot of merit rewards! With merit, I believe players will be happy to accept this kind of bounty mission..."

Any evil will eventually be brought to justice!

The method Chen Ba came up with was actually to fight poison with poison, allowing players who pursued merit to hunt down the karma players who were causing trouble everywhere while playing other games.

Whether you punish him directly in the game or report him to have his account banned, you will be rewarded with a lot of merits.

Driven by the merit rewards, there is no need to worry that these players will not be tempted. As long as someone is tempted, the days of these karma players will not be so easy.

"That's a great idea, but I have a question..."

Xiao Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "The bounty you are talking about should be a cross-game one, right? But if it is a cross-game bounty, how can the Merit players discover the Karma Evil Cultivator?"

Zhang San accepted the bounty from karma player Li Si, but how did Zhang San know what game Li Si played, or even what his name was in other games?

"Heavenly Procedure!"

Chen Ba knew what Xiao Lu was worried about, so he explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not letting the Tiandao program directly leak the player's privacy, I'm just adding a reminder function."

Zhang San played League of Legends with "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" in the background, and Li Si also played League of Legends with "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" in the background.

If both parties have the game background running, then when they are matched to the same game, the Tiandao program will remind Zhang San and Li Si: You have met a merit/karma player!

No need to know who the other person is.

As long as you defeat the opponent, even if you have not accepted the bounty mission in advance, the bounty will be automatically completed and you will get the corresponding reward.

certainly!

The prerequisite for doing this is that "Xiuzhen Fantasy" and the Tiandao mission process must be running in the background of the computer, and the "early warning reminder" function must be turned on.

If you exit "Xiuzhen Fantasy", causing the Tiandao program to be unable to monitor in real time, or if the early warning prompt is not turned on, then this cannot be done.

“Okay, okay!”

Xiao Lu was speechless and couldn't help but complain: "'Xiuzhen Fantasy' has really become an idle game. You just go offline and play other games when you log in, right?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true..."

Chen Ba was also embarrassed.

As an MMO online game, "Xiuzhen Fantasy" quickly became an idle game after the bug of cross-game merit brushing was exposed.

Wow, hundreds of thousands of people online at the same time, this game must be very popular, right? Yes, it is very popular!

But when you go online, you will find that 90% of the hundreds of thousands of players online at the same time are AFK in the safe zone, with their characters not moving.

What were they doing?

They are not going to the toilet or playing with their phones. These people all have "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" running in the background and are going to play other games.

Some people are sniping at the middle door in FPS games, some are laughing while brushing the jungle in MOBA games, some are brain overload in Teamfight Tactics, and some are uppercuts and lowercuts in fighting games...

People play all kinds of games, but no one plays "Xiu Zhen Fantasy"! This is why, when "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" became popular, the players of other games did not leave, and the PC game market seemed to have not changed at all.

nonsense!

What games did these hundreds of thousands of players play before and what games do they play now? Just keep "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" in the background. Where do the players of other games come from?

People often say on the Internet that "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" has very high configuration requirements and requires at least 16G of memory to play.

But the official recommended configuration is only 8G memory, why is there such a big deviation? This is of course because only with 16G memory can "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" run in the background while switching the screen to play other games!
