Chapter 526 World of Warcraft Public Beta Activity
In mid-July,
Diablo has been on sale for a while.
But it still maintains a high level of popularity.
No, it should be more accurate to say that
after the launch of the season mode of Diablo, the popularity has increased!
In the past few days, most players have already completed the plot and have a comprehensive understanding of the relevant gameplay.
The level of the season mode is reset to zero, and the introduction of the season theme gameplay gives them a chance to start over.
At the same time, because of the addition of the leaderboard and the expert mode,
a wave of level racing has been set off!
All players are studying how to quickly reach level 70 and how to match equipment and skills to reach higher levels of the Great Secret Realm.
The subjective initiative of players has directly reached a new height!
What's more interesting is
that because Diablo is good enough and the season mode is attractive enough, almost all Diablo players have played the season mode.
If Diablo players want pets linked to World of Warcraft, they must complete a series of season tasks that are slightly difficult for ordinary players.
This made many players who played Diablo remember the name of "World of Warcraft".
After all, what you can't get will always make you commotion.
Seasonal tasks often require a difficulty of torture 4 or torture 6 to kill a specific BOSS, which is still a bit difficult for many players.
Everyone wants to complete the season tasks and get pets linked with "World of Warcraft".
The name of the game "World of Warcraft" has spread.
At this time,
Linmu Studio also seized the opportunity and started publicity.
But it didn't steal the show.
The popularity of "Diablo" was more important in the early stage, so the main publicity method used was to take advantage of every opportunity.
Later, the publicity will be gradually increased.
But this is enough.
As time goes by,
slowly,
"World of Warcraft" began to emerge, and Linmu Studio mentioned it from time to time, which made many players realize something.
Especially players who like online games and MMORPGs.
Is this... going to be publicly tested?
Many online game-related forums are discussing this.
Among the many games in the Linmu Carnival, only World of Warcraft does not have an accurate public beta time.
So apart from making an appointment for the test, all players can do is wait.
But during this period, Linmu Studio has been promoting three stand-alone games most of the time.
This inevitably makes them a little anxious.
However,
with the end of the second round of testing,
Diablo was released.
The situation seems to have changed a little...
Many online game players began to look forward to it, especially after the linkage between World of Warcraft and Diablo.
Everyone is looking forward to the official public beta of World of Warcraft.
And this expectation is gradually heating up!
Days passed like this.
Linmu Studio began to increase the promotion of World of Warcraft.
First, the Vaporwave game platform, the online store page of World of Warcraft was launched.
This is not a buyout game, but all the games under Linmu Studio are on the Vaporwave game platform.
And then there are also channels for purchasing game point cards and monthly cards.
This is like a signal.
Soon,
Internet cafes in Pengcheng City also began to appear in the promotional materials of World of Warcraft.
Those large chain Internet cafes all maintain very good relations with Linmu Studio.
They want to launch a popular online game more than Linmu Studio.
And Linmu Studio has a good reputation and brilliant record, so as soon as Linmu Studio opened its mouth, the laying of promotional materials spread out at a very fast speed.
Many individual Internet cafes that are not chain Internet cafes even began to spontaneously copy the promotional materials that Linmu Studio gave to the chain Internet cafes.
Then they posted them outside the windows of their own Internet cafes.
Because they are the first line of contact with players, they know better than anyone how powerful the online games launched by Linmu Studio are.
More and more players saw the promotional pictures of "World of Warcraft" outside, took pictures, and posted them on the forum.
Most of the promotional pictures are the same, the main body is a magnificent stone gate, and two statues holding huge swords upside down stand on both sides of the gate. It can be barely seen that they are wearing hoods, but under the hoods, their faces are not clear, and only two blood-red eyes can be seen.
Above the majestic stone gate, there is a giant stone snake coiling, ready to strike, with its fangs bared and its eyes equally red.
On the other side of the gate is the picturesque Azeroth.
The World of Warcraft logo is located in the lower right corner.
Anyone who has played Warcraft will be able to tell what this is at a glance.
The Dark Portal!
The bloodthirsty army known as the Horde invaded Azeroth through this gate, and then began a long confrontation and war with the Alliance in Azeroth.
Is it going to be publicly tested?
All players' expectations have been raised to a new high.
Linmu Studio was also very cooperative.
The public beta date had already been confirmed.
So after the players' expectations reached a high point, the public beta date of the game was announced directly on the homepage of the Vaporwave game platform and in the new batch of "World of Warcraft" promotional materials.
Vaporwave game platform homepage.
The promotional picture of "World of Warcraft" is integrated with the background of the entire game platform.
At the top of the platform homepage is a huge character painting.
On one side is the tribe, with the main color red, and on the other side is the alliance, with the main color blue.
The two sides are facing each other.
A bunch of major Warcraft characters that players can name stand on both sides, facing each other, staring at each other.
In the middle is the classic spherical logo of "World of Warcraft".
Below is a line of gray-toned large characters symbolizing iron and blood——
["World of Warcraft", officially launched on August 3. 】
Not only in China.
Vaporwave game platforms in all regions have replaced this huge promotional picture.
It can be imagined how much Linmu Studio values this game.
When players opened the Vaporwave gaming platform and saw this trailer,
you can imagine how excited they were.
Many players even jumped up and down after seeing it.
Because it's finally here!
The relevant gaming community has been looking forward to this game, but players who didn't have the opportunity to try it out or participate in the test spent the New Year in the same place!
"It's finally here!! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? Two whole months!"
"...You're embarrassed to say two months, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? Two years! I've been playing Shengo for two years! Finally, there's a game that interests me, and it feels more reliable than Tianhu's MMORPG! Although I won't abandon Shengo for this game now, I don't know in the future. I've really suffered for Tianhu for a long time!" "I
was fortunate enough to participate in the trial play. It's finally open. Let me think about it, how am I going to catch a cold on the day of the public beta... No, how am I going to ask for leave."
"That day was Saturday, and Linmu Studio was as considerate as ever! I feel sorry for the guy upstairs who has to ask for leave on Saturday! I want to play for a day!"
"So cool! The promotional picture is so cool!!! Tianhu, open your eyes and take a look! This is called publicity and promotion! You guys should learn from it!"
"You can't learn it. The red and blue tones are in opposition to each other... This should be Lin Yao's idea. Maybe she drew the concept map! She seems to like these two tones very much. I discovered it in the first "Breakout" challenge, and the effect is really good! It's really handsome! If Tianhu had Lin Yao, I would have defected to the enemy long ago."
"Speaking of which, Tianhu seems to be holding activities recently, very intensively. The latest announcement said that the event date seems to be postponed to August."
"Hahaha, Tianhu is anxious, he is anxious [picture], but it's normal. Now the most advantageous game type is being challenged. "World of Warcraft" is coming in full force. Even salted fish have to struggle. I just don't know how the effect will be."
"Tianhu is dead!"
"Dear bosses, will Linmu Studio hold a public beta event? All the online games under Linmu Studio have done it before, right?"
"I hope so, but I guess Tianhu doesn't want Linmu Studio to add fuel to the fire."
"..."
Tianhu.
Li Guangsheng also opened the forum. After seeing the statement "Tianhu is dead", the veins on his forehead suddenly popped up.
"World of Warcraft" hasn't been publicly tested yet!
How come Tianhu died!
You died!
Bastard!
However, Li Guangsheng got frustrated
as he was angry . Although the players exaggerated a bit, they were not wrong... Tianhu is indeed facing a severe test. If it was an MMORPG launched by other game companies, he would not be so nervous, but the problem is that this is Linmu Studio. So, he really hoped that Linmu Studio would not hold a public beta event as the players said... Now Tianhu has been roasted. Please, don't add more firewood! Especially, don't add Lin Yao! Please, it will really be cooked! Li Guangsheng superstitiously put his hands together and began to pray to an unknown god... To be honest, a middle-aged man put his hands together and muttered to himself, which is quite eye-catching. But in fact, praying is useless. ... Linmu Studio. Lin Yao ran around during this period of time, and after going through the current matters of Linmu Studio, he plunged into the "World of Warcraft" project team. They began to prepare for the related server opening activities. However. Because it was only two months after the Linmu Carnival, regardless of whether players were aesthetically fatigued, Linmu Studio itself could not stand it if they held large-scale activities. Therefore, this server opening activity had nothing to do with offline and large-scale activities. It was just a very simple activity. Lei Hongguang originally thought it was inappropriate and wanted to suggest that some offline related activities must be held. But when Lin Yao suggested that she would also come forward, he shut up.
The server opening event this time was actually very simple. Before the server was opened and the internal test data was deleted, Lin Yao and the staff played a group game together.
In addition to the players, many internal staff members of World of Warcraft also participated in the test.
These people are all at a high level.
Some of them have even reached the top of the version.
After all, their data has never been deleted. They have been playing since the game was available.
However,
after the official public beta, these data will not be retained. After all
, they are not playing with GM accounts, but real player accounts. They
have been upgraded one level at a time.
This time, playing a group game together, in addition to showing the charm of the game to the players, can also be regarded as a perfect ending for these staff members who have invested their feelings in the internal test.
"Qi Jianhua, you should also participate in the group game event before the public beta."
Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing confirmed the list of people who would play the group game together, and soon came behind the last person.
"But I'm only level 30! Boss."
Qi Jianhua looked up at Lin Yao with a sad face.
"Why?"
Lin Yao was a little curious. She had heard about what the PC department staff did at night. Didn't they all get together to play games?
Qi Jianhua was one of them.
The members she had just found were all of high level, so why was Qi Jianhua, who was playing with her, only level 30?
"No one led me. Those bastards said I was a jinx, a top war criminal, and that carrying a hammer was more useful than me... After leading me through the monastery a few times, they ignored me."
Speaking of this.
Qi Jianhua immediately got excited, waved his fist, and said angrily: "It's obviously these bastards who are incompetent, why blame me as a tank."
"There's such a thing!?"
Lin Yao slightly widened her beautiful eyes, then thought about it, patted his shoulder, and said indignantly: "That's too much, I'll let Lei Hongguang give you a full-level account, and then you can prove it to them! You are not the top war criminal! Not a jinx! More useful than a hammer!"
"Boss..."
Qi Jianhua heard this, looked at Lin Yao, and showed a touched expression.
For a moment.
He even forgot.
The public beta event was live, which would be embarrassing.
Lin Yao did not stay for long, fearing that he would react, and turned around and took Mu Wanqing away.
When Qi Jianhua came to his senses and wanted to ask for details, Lin Yao had already run away.
Lin Yao returned to the "World of Warcraft" project team, then found Lei Hongguang and told him her ideas.
But she hadn't finished speaking.
When the person in charge, Lei Hongguang, heard the words "Qi Jianhua" and "group", he slid down from his chair...
"Boss, are you sure? Do you have to let Qi Jianhua participate? Can I quit?"
Lei Hongguang held the chair and looked at Lin Yao, looking like he had no desire to live.
He started asking a series of deadly questions.
"Don't be like this! Although Qi Jianhua is a gun, blind, and a bit of a loser, one person can't influence much! Let him participate, and if he participates, it will be a topic!"
Lin Yao shook her head, a smile appeared on her face, and insisted on doing so.
After all, besides her, the most famous person in Linmu Studio is Qi Jianhua.
As for the event.
It's better to be lively!
It's decided!
...
July 27.
As the promotion of "World of Warcraft" gradually increased.
The public beta date was approaching.
The popularity began to rise wildly.
Discussions about "World of Warcraft" were everywhere.
At this time,
the popularity was like a flammable gunpowder barrel.
All that was missing was someone to ignite it...
Li Guangsheng of Tianhu, of course, hoped to maintain the status quo,
but it was obvious that Linmu Studio didn't want to.
On the same day,
a new promotional picture appeared on the Vaporwave game platform.
Although the main body was still "World of Warcraft", many familiar figures appeared on it.
The leaders that the players had met at the Linmu Carnival almost came out in full force!
[On July 31, the internal beta data of "World of Warcraft" will be deleted, and the public beta will begin soon. The staff of Linmu Studio will personally draw the curtain on the internal beta of the game!
Linmu Studio's internal union "Shark and Girl" will live broadcast the strategy of the 40-person group in the game - Molten Core! The leader is Lin Yao!
Please look forward to it! 】
Players saw the promotional image and the words "Team Leader Lin Yao".
The gunpowder barrel was instantly ignited.
Players celebrated the New Year in the same place again!
Here it comes! Here it comes!
The reserved program of Linmu Studio's new online game!
Internal staff will join the battle to let players experience the charm of the game before the public beta!
And the name Lin Yao is too appealing to players!
As soon as this event was announced, even players who don't usually play online games couldn't help but set an alarm clock to go and take a look.
After all, who doesn't want to see beautiful, considerate, moving, and very...charming girls playing games!
In addition.
Although after Qi Jianhua's sudden rise, some players' purpose of watching such activities has gradually changed to watching for fun...
But the vast majority of players are still looking forward to playing the group game with the staff of Linmu Studio.
Many players know the concept of group games.
They are curious about the difference between the internal staff of the game company and the players when playing games.
Therefore,
before the live broadcast started,
the expectations were raised very high.
The popularity also began to soar.
The live broadcast website that Linmu Studio cooperated with even directly warmed up for this event on the homepage on the day the news was announced.
In the end,
the players started to party before the live broadcast started.
Li Guangsheng of Tianhu saw this scene and fell silent.
And in the midst of the players' party,
the day came to July 31st...
the last day of July.
That night,
the picture had not appeared yet.
The live broadcast had not started yet.
The popularity of the live broadcast room quickly rushed to the top of the hot list of the live broadcast website!
Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng also went in.
Then they saw this terrifying popularity and almost cried...
At the same time,
Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao was fine.
But some staff members were quite nervous.
The team members joined the group one after another.
Lin Yao looked at the time and asked everyone to gather at the entrance of the Lava Heart.
Because the game has not been publicly tested, it is impossible to release all the content through live broadcast, so Lin Yao has done the door opening task in advance.
This live broadcast will only reveal the content of the group book.
Moreover, she will not finish this group book.
She will only go through it once, and the specific content will be left to the players to experience.
"Miss Mu, it's a pity, it would be great if you could play games."
Lin Yao also made some preparations for this event, mainly recalling the operation.
And this time, the character she controlled was a mage.
She originally wanted to pull Mu Wanqing along, but unfortunately, the black silk glasses girl was not very good at playing.
"It doesn't matter... I just watch you play." Mu Wanqing smiled lightly.
"Okay."
Lin Yao didn't say much after hearing this.
She showed a nostalgic expression, looked at the screen again, and after confirming that everyone was there, she directly started the live broadcast.
Command, Lin Yao's main perspective, appeared on the playback window of the live broadcast website.
"Good evening, everyone."
Lin Yao was the first to say hello.
As she finished speaking, the staff members in the same channel also began to greet each other in a frenzy.
The real-time comments in the live broadcast room.
Soared rapidly!
Words such as "wife" began to roll wildly.
Soon, the real-time comment system exploded.
Because the comments rolled too fast, not many people even paid attention to the actual game screen.
"..."
Lin Yao secretly glanced at the comments, too lazy to pay attention to these stupid players.
After she finished greeting, she began to adjust the team's squad occupation ratio according to the team members' equipment and talents.
At the same time, she began to confirm whether each member of the team had repaired equipment, whether they had brought enough potions, spellcasting materials, cooking dishes, arrows, etc.
Lin Yao confirmed in an orderly manner.
The staff members who went to the group with her were all shocked!
This really looked like a team leader.
On the other side.
The audience of the live broadcast website finally came back to their senses from the first wave of revelry and began to listen to Lin Yao's command and observe the actual game screen of "World of Warcraft".
Li Guangsheng of Tianhu stared at the screen.
Overall.
The UI of World of Warcraft is nothing special, and it is no different from most MMORPGs on the market. However, after taking into account universality, Lin Yao reset the game with the best graphics, so the viewing experience is very good.
Lin Yao is currently in front of a huge cave entrance, where a green energy curtain rotates, and the structure inside can be vaguely seen.
It is a huge cave, empty and desolate, which forms a sharp contrast with the small game characters, as if it is a giant's open mouth.
After noticing the actual machine screen, the players finally stopped calling their wives and started discussing the game.
At this time.
Lin Yao has also divided the team and confirmed the details.
"Come on!"
Lin Yao said at last.
"Oh!" The other staff members responded excitedly.
They learned it from Zhu Nianqiao.
After all, it is rare to play games with Lin Yao, and they don't feel ashamed to play with each other.
Lin Yao smiled and officially entered the group copy.
The audience watching the live broadcast were also touched by this scene. This was also the reason why they liked to watch the staff of Linmu Studio playing games together, because they felt that they were no different from the players.
And then,
Li Guangsheng discovered.
This is a large-scale group copy of forty people!
"How is this possible... How can so many people coordinate..." Li Guangsheng muttered to himself with an incredible expression.
On the other side.
Lin Yao has led the team members and officially entered the empty and deserted cave.
Lin Yao took the lead and turned the camera left at the end of the cave.
A touch of red came into view.
That was the color of magma.
And further ahead, two lava giants composed of lava and magma appeared on the screen. They stood at the entrance of the passage on the left side of the cave with great pressure, like two door gods.
When the lava giant saw the densely packed forty players approaching, it immediately reacted, triggered hatred, and began to walk towards the players.
Real-time comments soared again.
"Fuck!!! The picture is so good! It feels like it can kill all the MMORPGs in the world in seconds!"
"Awesome!"
"Is this the group copy of "World of Warcraft"?"
"..."
Real-time comments soared.
But Lin Yao couldn't take care of it.
"T, go and lure the monsters, separate them! Pull the two lava giants apart, otherwise the two AOE melees will die... Yes, lure them to the wall, remember to lean against the wall to build aggro, because the monsters will be knocked away, and the melee with low health will turn back to protect themselves."
Lin Yao began to command the T to lure the monsters: "Also, give the melee the aura of strong attack, and give me an owl beast by the way, let's start fighting!"
"Wait, the Ts at the back of the rankings should be careful not to steal aggro from each other, the priests with the holy talent heal the T, the priests with the discipline talent heal the whole group, the shamans cast healing chains on the melee units, and the druids give rejuvenation and healing!"
"The aggro is stable, so DPS professions should increase their output!" Lin
Yao's voice began to sound, and the command really sounded like that.
On the live broadcast website,
in the screen,
as Lin Yao commanded,
each team and each profession began to perform their duties, killing monsters and switching to monsters in an orderly manner. This is actually one of Lin Yao's purposes, to give players a clear concept of cooperating with the group. Li Guangsheng looked at the live broadcast screen and fell silent. And the players watching the live broadcast. At this time, their enthusiasm was also mobilized! "A 40-player raid, damn! It feels so exciting!" "Yeah, from the promotion, this is just one of the 40-player raids, interesting!" "Fuck! Lin Yao! Wife! Do you really understand?!" "What's so strange about this? Isn't it known that Lin Yao likes games? Isn't it normal for her to be able to play!" "But she's too skilled! I'm going to fall for her! I feel like she's so cool when she's directing!" "ID! ID! I want Lin Yao's ID, I want to add her as a friend during the public beta! I want to play with her!!!" "Fuck, this time they're really doing it... Just a demo game? Didn't they say Qi Jianhua would participate? Why is it so dull?" "..." In the game. Lin Yao didn't read the real-time comments. Soon. The two gate gods, the lava giants, were solved. Because it was a live broadcast, she didn't jump down to take a shortcut, but pushed forward step by step. The process was quite smooth. It was so smooth that Lin Yao was a little surprised. Yes. Isn't Qi Jianhua here? It seems that this group of people... just think Qi Jianhua is bad, what a jinx, the number one war criminal... Lin Yao directed the team to advance all the way, and also thought of Qi Jianhua. She felt that Qi Jianhua was discriminated against. At the same time. She began to subconsciously look for Qi Jianhua's figure. But after searching for a while. Didn't find it. "Huh? Where is Qi Jianhua!?" Lin Yao couldn't help but make a puzzled sound. "Qi Jianhua?... Yes! Where is Qi Jianhua! Go find him!" Lei Hongguang and Zhong Xiu heard Lin Yao's voice, and after a brief confusion, they realized something, and their voices suddenly rose... A little distorted, and with deep fear. At this moment. It happened that the whole team pushed to a pass in an open area. "I'm here! I'm here!" Qi Jianhua also heard Lin Yao's words and shouted. Lin Yao controlled the perspective to look over. Qi Jianhua didn't know how to run ahead. And now, he was rushing towards the main group. At the same time, they also brought five lava giants, four flame kings, and two lava runners... Each of them brought a bunch of monsters, and they rushed towards the group in a mighty manner. "I've pulled in the monsters! Come on, come on!" Qi Jianhua's excited voice was heard again in the black channel. After listening to Lin Yao's words, he felt that he needed to prove himself - to prove that he was not the number one war criminal and a jinx, so as soon as he entered the group, he wanted to do some "little things" within his ability for the team. That is to pull monsters! And seeing the mighty monsters behind Qi Jianhua. In an instant. The whole group, including Lin Yao, turned pale... "Fuck!!!!"
"I knew it!!!"
"Qi Jianhua!!"
"Are you the guide!!!"
"Kick him! Kick him now! Boss!"
"Kick him! Kick him! Kick him!"
The black channel instantly became noisy,
with curses and shock mixed together.
Then, after a while, Qi Jianhua was kicked in unison...
Lin Yao held the mouse, looking at the pile of monsters that could be wiped out with the current level and equipment, and was stunned. She
wanted to hold her head.
No wonder Qi Jianhua was the number one war criminal...
She had only one thought at the moment, is this 'Pure Love You' reappearing in another world...
And in the live broadcast room.
At this moment, the players who were watching the live broadcast.
They were laughing like crazy!
