Wang Li was feeling depressed when the system announcement sounded again.
System announcement: The hero from thousands of years ago has returned to the Apocalypse Continent. The dusty history has been revealed. The new expansion pack [Lord of the Dead] is about to be launched. The game will start updating in thirty minutes. Players are asked to leave the game before updating...
"A new expansion pack, are we going to open a new expansion pack?"
Seeing the game announcement, players in the game were excited.
Expansion pack is the most important way to update online games. It is usually called version update. It is also the most important advancement of the game. Therefore, every expansion pack update proves that a major event has happened in the game and there will be a earth-shaking change.
For example, when you wake up, the expansion pack is updated, and the continent of Arad explodes, it is an update of the expansion pack.
Another example is World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm and the Burning Crusade, etc. These changes at this level must be updated with expansion packs.
Every expansion pack update is the end of an era and the beginning of a new era. It will either open up a new map, start a new plot, or start a new career.
To put it simply, the expansion pack update is an extremely disruptive game change.
Under normal circumstances, expansion packs are updated when the player level is capped and equipment skills begin to reach the top level. There is no plot to play and players start to lose. A new version will be opened to extend the life of the game, whether it is for players or not. Whether it’s a game company, it’s a very important matter.
Sometimes game companies will give advance notices for half a year or even a year in preparation for a new expansion pack, and players will also prepare for a long time to welcome the new version.
But this time the expansion pack left everyone confused.
What the hell? The game has only been launched for more than a month. It just started official operation last week. The level is currently capped at level 60. Most of the players are still below level 30. How come a new expansion pack is suddenly launched? This is too shameful. .
It's like when players were still saving money to realize their dream of buying a car, suddenly the expansion pack was updated, and cars eliminated the popular aircraft.
You can imagine the player's mood at this moment.
I'm so excited, I can't wait for this game. The player level has not yet been capped, and a new version has been released. This is really unexpected.
…
The players were confused, and the game company was even more worried.
Do you think they want to update?
The expansion pack is equivalent to the author's manuscript, which is one chapter less, not to mention how rare it is.
When the game is first released, designers do have time to save several versions of expansion packs, which will be released in the future. It is necessary to leave time for designers to design subsequent plots in the few years before they are released.
Expansion packs are usually updated manually, and games like this rarely happen in the past.
However, since "Apocalypse Era" is a brand-new mode, in order to give players a second-world experience, the expansion pack also adopts a mission-triggered mode. As long as the player completes the corresponding plot mission, the expansion pack will automatically open.
For example, the upcoming [Lord of the Dead] expansion pack is a task that can only be completed after players reach level 60.
The higher the game level, the more difficult it is to level up.
Level 60 will have to be at least half a year later.
The game designers never thought about opening expansion packs.
But no one expected that in this era when the average player level was less than level 30, someone would inexplicably pass the plot of [Lord of the Undead]...
this……
Now it is difficult to describe the mood of designers with words and ink.
Now everyone's hearts are beeping. They really didn't expect such a perversion to exist in the game.
The company has already received a call from above: "What's going on? A new expansion pack has been released out of nowhere. Is there a bug in the game? Fix it for me quickly!"
If the top catches up, the bottom will run and break its legs.
After a thorough investigation, the monitoring team finally identified the culprit of this expansion pack update.
"Huh? This guy looks familiar."
When they locked onto Wang Li's character, everyone in the monitoring team suddenly realized that they had seen this strange archer somewhere.
A tall and burly figure, a giant bow, giant arrows...the glasses on his head, the eyes of the Creator...Oh my god! !
Everyone was stunned when they saw the eyes on Wang Li's head.
"Your uncle, why is it him?" The members of the monitoring team responsible for the investigation all cried.
"You should say why it's him again..." Others corrected on the side.
Damn it, the last time I killed Arugao, it had already attracted the attention of the monitoring team, and the video was later used as propaganda material.
Less than ten days after Wang Li was last targeted, Wang Li was once again targeted by the monitoring team.
This time, Wang Li also caused big trouble by releasing the planning and designer's expansion pack.
Everyone in the monitoring team was crying without tears. If I had known that this kid was so perverted, he should have been humanely destroyed by a thunderstorm. Then, if he said it was not intentional, he would have been fired as a temporary worker and compensated with some money. It won't cause such a big mess.
"How did he trigger the mission?"
The monitoring team was very curious about Wang Li's ability to trigger this task.
This mission can obviously only be triggered after level 60. Wang Li's current level is only level 30, so why was it triggered in advance?
Logically speaking, he is not even qualified to enter the Dark Temple.
"Check! You must check it for me!"
The team leader pointed angrily at Wang Li on the screen and said: "We will never tolerate any suspicion of cheating!!"
This time, the team leader got really angry.
After all, this incident alarmed Penguin’s upper leadership. If the explanation is really unclear, the following people may be held legally responsible.
Yes, it is legal responsibility, because everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, and the monitoring team is jointly and severally liable if something like this happens.
Normally, players who cheat for a small amount of time will be banned for a few days and banned for a few days at most.
Nowadays, if cheating is discovered, the account will be permanently banned, which shows how seriously the monitoring team has paid attention to Wang Li, a dangerous person.
He is no longer an ordinary problem that harms the balance of the game.
Such behavior of releasing expansion packs in advance is likely to affect the life of the game.
Destroying the balance of the game is the player's own business.
Endangering the longevity of the game means destroying the jobs of game workers, which is completely different in nature.
The monitoring team quickly got to work and began to query Wang Li's game logs.
Finally, the specific reason was found from the background data.
shoe! !
The specific reason appeared on Wang Li's shoes.
According to normal game logic, Wang Li cannot follow Gulu into the Dark Temple at this level. However, Wang Li's shoes have the special effect of Shadow Foot Mark and can teleport directly and unconditionally behind the target.
After a series of accidental operations, I got stuck in the Dark Temple due to a bug.
