Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 290 First experience with World of Warcraft

Night is deep.

"Boss, is this copy of the martial arts world too difficult?" Xu Changlong looked at the player feedback reports from today's trial session and was a little worried.

"Is it difficult? That's right. It's not difficult to play a level 40 book at level 20. Although the values ​​have been balanced, it's good. It's challenging to arouse players' interest."

Chen Hao's voice came from behind the big ass computer monitor. Looking at some websites above, there have been some media reports about the martial arts world trial. In addition to unanimous praise, the difficulty of the copy was also mentioned.

"What if it's too much and not enough? Will it have the opposite effect?"

Chen Hao stood up, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, don't underestimate the resilience of the players. Although most players have not passed the level, it is this kind of unrequited desire that I want. Peace of mind and prepare for the end of the year. internal beta."

After speaking, he took the trial report from the opponent's hand and looked at the content above. Some players said it was a bit difficult, while some said it was very challenging and gave the dungeon BOSS mechanism a high rating.

"It's okay. These players are pioneers. After the closed beta, they discovered why the dungeon was so simple. This is called suppressing the desire to advance."

Judging from the online and on-site reviews from players, they were all within expectations. Chen Hao packed up the things and said, "Let's go, call it a day, get off work!"

On January 1, the World of Warcraft demo will be held.

Same location, different themed scenery, familiar long queue.

At the end of a team, Xu Xiake was explaining the process and experience of yesterday's trial. Several new comrades before and after him were stunned.

Then a new team with him as the center was formed again.

Queuing, checking tickets, entering, waiting, the same process.

"Ever since the Alliance and the Horde have fought side by side to resist the Burning"

I've watched "What to Burn" eight hundred times, ESC skipped it!

Then it’s time to choose a camp and profession. Unlike the world of martial arts, World of Warcraft has the concept of camps and races. The camps are divided into alliances and tribes.

Unsaid, Xu Xiake chose the tribe according to their previous communication.

The Shaolin correspondent should be the warrior here. It goes without saying that he likes characters who can withstand beatings. Could it be that he has a hidden masochistic tendency.

The racial selection looks like a tall and powerful tauren with rough skin and thick flesh.

Others chose the tauren druid, necromancer, orc hunter, and troll priest.

Everyone's birth point is different.

But you still have to do the task first, but the difference compared to the martial arts time is that there is no road guidance, and you have to guess based on the description of the task content.

This is very inhumane. Children, you still guess.

After wasting some effort, completing a few tasks and killing some monsters, I reached level 15.

Then sitting in the village, the wyvern came to Orgrimmar, the main city of the tribe.

Xu Xiake was the first to arrive in the main city. As soon as he entered, he was scurrying around like a headless fly. This is an empty auction house. This is a hotel. Where is this?storehouse?It seems like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.

Fortunately, they were in a team. Only the Necromancer was born in another continent and came a few minutes late.

After gathering, I searched for a while before finding the first dungeon in the Shadow Zone of Orgrimmar: Lava Rift.

15 minute left.

Warcraft, animal husbandry, virtue and hunting gathered together.

The battle began, and under the command of Xu Xiake, everyone gradually and cautiously tested, and then found that they were not as exaggerated as the captain said, and basically pushed forward all the way.

What these players don't know is that when there is a good tank player on the team, the difficulty will drop by an order of magnitude.

Xu Xiake has become an excellent hatred control master, taking care of basically every monster. Even if there is an occasional disobedient OT, he can be brought back with a taunt.

<divclass="contentadv">Even when it came to the BOSS battle, it was just a close call and passed easily.

He muttered in his heart, is this all?Compared with yesterday's [-]-meter sprint, the dungeon of World of Warcraft was as intense as an old man walking.

Although it is also different from traditional online games on the market, the team still requires certain coordination skills, and the overall game experience is quite good.

With old comrades carrying the banner, it only took the group 12 minutes to defeat the final BOSS in the Lava Rift Valley and clear the dungeon.

Become the No. 1 team to pass the game.

After it was over, Xu Xiake picked a figure of a tauren warrior.

When he came to the play area, he saw the people around him discussing happily, which gave him a slight sense of superiority.

You guys who have never seen the world, how are you doing now? When you see the world of martial arts, you will be scared to death!

Playing the game again, he declined the invitation from his previous teammates, instead rebuilt the game and chose a hunter to start his own adventure.

Kobolds, vultures, and murlocs. At level 10, I caught a small wild boar as a pet. This little thing has its own charge, which is quite fun.

He beat monsters, climbed mountains and waded in rivers, but unfortunately he only had a double jump, which made him feel like a local monkey. He didn't have the great lightness skills of the martial arts world, which made him very unhappy.

Seeing that the final trial time was about to come, he climbed up a big mountain, jumped, bang, fell to his death, ending his short life, and then turned into a dead soul.

On the way back to the hotel, Xu Xiake didn't have the excitement and aftertaste of yesterday. He always felt that something was missing.

Isn't World of Warcraft fun?Fun, excellent game modeling and physics engine, open world, time system synchronized with reality, groundbreaking item drops, etc. are enough to kill most online games on the market, but he just can't bring up the passion of yesterday.

What's missing?He silently looked at the tauren warrior in his hand, and suddenly had some understanding and a sense of substitution!

Regardless of race, tauren, trolls, orcs, or professions in World of Warcraft, except for warriors and mages, few people know about druids, shamans, and priests. What’s more, the architectural style and monster types in the game are all Western. Cultural categories inherently give him a sense of alienation. This is the gap between Eastern and Western cultures.

There is no joy, hatred, chivalrous tenderness, only magic and barbarism, technology and ruthless work.

Compared with the Manchu-Han banquet like World of Martial Arts, World of Warcraft is more like the KFC you just passed by. It's okay to eat once in a while, but you will get bored easily if you eat it every day.

When he was playing the dungeon just now, he noticed that a buddy opposite him left the game before he finished playing, saying he was a little dizzy.

I don’t know if this guy is dizzy with 3D or is a little uncomfortable with the game scenes inside.

Just like when he played CS, he felt dizzy and vomiting after playing for less than half an hour, just like motion sickness.

But he got used to vomiting and vomiting, and now he feels like walking on flat ground when playing 3D games.

After returning to the hotel, he put his things back in the hotel, went directly to a nearby Internet cafe, uploaded the photos to his computer, and started writing about today's game experience on Century Friendship Network.

After he won the prize in the trial game, he had an idea. He registered an account on Century Friendship Network, and then advertised on the 17173 Martial Arts World and Swordsman World forums, saying that he would live broadcast the trial experience with pictures and texts simultaneously on Century Friendship Network. Welcome to all players. Follow the account.

The nickname of the account is: Xu Xiake’s Travel Notes.

Logs and pictures will be published every night, including privacy-protected screenshots of the trial lottery, photos of train tickets to Beijing, etc., so that viewers who cannot make it to the scene can also have a sense of on-the-spot participation.

During the two days of trial sessions, experiences, prizes, game experiences, etc., the photo album contains photos from various trial sessions.

He also responded to these people’s questions through updates and comments,

Attracting a large number of people to follow and comment,

In just a few days, it has accumulated nearly tens of thousands of fans.

At first he didn't know what fans meant, until he saw a small question mark in the upper right corner, and when he moused over it explained another sentence, the transliteration of Fans, and he understood it in seconds.

Now Xu Xiake's content on Century Friendship Network has become an alternative small sharing session.
