It was already 11:10 after the two men opened up the wasteland, and everyone was still chatting with a little excitement.
After all, the "rabble" in Wandering Cloud will face the legendary Mulu next. Some people in this team have played before, and some have not.
The backbone of the team, such as Ye Xue, Luo Xi, and Kongcheng, who are old wanderers in the clouds, have worked with Lao Ba before to open up wasteland, so they have a relatively clear understanding of the boss Mulu.
The previous team that was wandering in the clouds, despite the ups and downs in pioneering the wasteland, actually does not mean that the team is really so bad that it has no hope of beating Mulu.
The core problem of this team is that there are many small groups. During the process of Muru's land reclamation, they had serious conflicts with each other's game concepts. They eventually parted ways after the old president chose AFK due to illness.
Most of the people in the team have little experience in land development.
The more typical ones are the two girls, Xiaowei and Wanwan. They have seen or heard about other people opening up wasteland, but for different reasons, they have never had the opportunity to face Mulu directly.
Of course, there is also one person who is definitely far superior to everyone else in terms of "land reclamation experience" and is the best among them all.
It can even be said that the total number of times other people have opened up wasteland is not as many as his alone.
He is Chen Yu.
After more than ten years, Chen Yu once again stood in front of this nightmare-like boss. It can be said that Chen Yu had mixed feelings in his heart.
It may be difficult for latecomers to imagine the land reclamation environment more than ten years ago.
At that time, Chen Yu had just entered college. Five nights a week, he would go to the Internet cafe on time to open an all-nighter and join the group early - not necessarily all night. Internet access cost two and a half yuan an hour, and an all-nighter only cost eight yuan.
After dinner, buy an extra large bottle of jasmine honey tea from the store next door, and then fight in front of the boss until one o'clock in the morning.
This is his daily routine.
But at that time, Chen Yu didn't feel tired or bored.
Because there were more than 20 people who accompanied him to destroy it, and after more than a month of destruction, and finally after trying all the methods but still unable to reach P2, the guild chose to give up.
The most advanced play style at that time was probably the violent AOE play of six sheep, three defenses, cavalry and six warlocks.
It was at that time that Chen Yu started to take up other professions, turning from a thief of faith into a team leader.
If you look at it from the perspective of today's players, they were indeed a bit good back then. After all, these days, some of the elite wild groups could clear SW in the first few weeks. Compared to Chen Yu's group back then, they were much better.
But even so, Chen Yu and the others were still the strongest team in the server back then, and were far ahead of other guilds.
If you want to play the Sunwell and get Gemini equipment, there is no other place in the server where you can go. There is even only one guild in the same server that can stabilize FARM.
So even if they are extinct for a month, they still have substitutes and can constantly try different tactics.
In fact, in comparison, many of today's nostalgic server teams are not necessarily that strong. Many players look silly and dull, and there are also newbies. Compared with the players back then, they are not as attentive to the game, but the pioneering The pressure is obviously less than before. Why?
Chen Yu also thought about this problem in his spare time.
He carefully compared the people of the two eras and felt that the current players have three main advantages.
First, World of Warcraft, especially the three versions of Classic, Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, are games that were played more than ten years ago.
Players back then had never seen the same type of game and had to figure it out bit by bit. But for today’s players, playing games from more than ten years ago is an open-book exam. What’s more, most of the old players in the nostalgic server have very rich experience. World of Warcraft game experience. ''
Second, the Internet is much more convenient now than it was in the past. Now the classic server can solve most of the game problems at least by searching. And what about that year?
Chen Yu still remembers the night when 2.3 was just updated. He and a group of T4 level friends went to Zul'Aman to try it out. They could only find drops but no gameplay guide on the Internet. When fighting against Elkizon, I was killed by lightning storms four times before I discovered that I could dodge.
Third, today’s players are much more utilitarian than back then. Perhaps it’s because the college students back then have grown up. Now, for most players, they can clear the dungeon quickly and easily, and then play every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The most important thing is that the car drives.
So if you are a good player and don't learn or practice (or don't buy), you will soon be boycotted and despised by everyone. The only thing left behind in the big waves is at least the group leader who feeds you the details of the game. A player who can eat it as soon as it reaches his mouth. So even if we are all rookies, there is a big gap in our level.
At that time, Chen Yu insisted on using the talent of combat dagger to open up wasteland and reached the T6 dungeon before returning to the Viper Temple, picking up a moxa claw and starting to play with combat swords. It was just because of a second-level obsession: "As a thief, of course I am the best with daggers!" He didn't bow his head until he reached the Dark Temple.
And now? On the first day of TBC, he asked Feixue Zizi, "How do you choose a weapon specialization?" Feixue replied: "The sword master is much better than other weapon specializations. There are two forging hammers that can be used to double the sword and hammer." Otherwise, they will all be sword masters." From then on, he never touched a war dagger again.
There are still many detailed advantages left, such as the popularity of various convenient playing methods, the use of analysis tools such as WCL, the evolution of plug-ins such as WA and EXRT, and of course the improvement of network and hardware. Over the past ten years or so, both people, the game itself, and the environment have changed too much. Therefore, purely in terms of the ability to play dungeons, today's players have greatly improved compared to those of more than ten years ago, regardless of whether they are mid-range, high-end, or low-end.
After clearing out several waves of monsters, Chen Yu stood outside Mulu's room while controlling a milk rider that did not belong to him.
At this moment, two pictures from ten years ago seemed to overlap, and endless memories came to mind.
He has always believed that he has no regrets in his Warcraft career. When he defeated the boss, he sang to his heart's content. When he failed to defeat the boss, he tried his best and had a clear conscience. Therefore, he never felt that he needed to make up for any past regrets. The classic server was simply a game he loved.
But at this moment, he, who had always been calm and calm, suddenly burst into tears.
"This is my youth!" His nose was slightly sour, he couldn't help but rub his eyes and sighed.
In YY, Kongcheng was still talking about the boss's skills and fighting methods according to the script.
He is actually quite disgusted with this kind of thing. After all, Kongcheng himself is a priest player with a good dungeon attitude. In his opinion, it is what a group member should do to do his homework before clearing wasteland. It is not easy to command and lead a group to clear wasteland. Having to be a nanny is just too much.
But then Kongcheng discovered a problem, that is, in the Wandering Clouds group, each group member's personal understanding ability is completely different. You may tell people like Luo Xi, Chen Yuyexue and others once and he will understand and do well, but if you tell people like Hua Hua You and Qiu Feng Xiaoxiao several times, he may still not be able to understand and need to be killed several times. Only then did he realize: "Oh, that's what happened! I finally understand!"
The same goes for the strategy guide. It is true that some people read the strategy guide as if they were reading a book from heaven. If they don’t actually kill it several times, they will not be able to watch the video and read the strategy guide at the same time and do cloud reclamation.
So in the end he compromised.
For the sake of the team and in order to successfully open up wasteland, he not only has to talk about skills and tactics, but he also has to find ways to explain it carefully and well, so as to stuff the pie into the mouths of the team members.
After he finished speaking, a tired male voice suddenly sounded in YY: "I'm here. Sorry, I've been delayed for a while. Do you still need some foreign help?"
"Who are you?" Kongcheng asked.
"I'm the Knight of Ten Dollars. Sorry, everyone, I'm late."
Everyone was a little curious about the Ten Yuan racing group. Ye Xue smiled and said, "Ten Yuan, didn't I say you were going to have a race? Why did the race last so long?"
Shi Yuan was dejected: "The monsters have been destroyed and turned into idiots. If you don't handle it well, reset it. If you reset it, you will continue to destroy it. But the results should be okay."
Chen Yu interrupted: "How long?"
"Forty-four minutes on the clock, LOG will not be passed for the time being. We have optimized our playing style a bit, and I don't know if we will be banned by WCL. We will not pass it for now, just continue to practice, and we will talk about it after foreigners have used the same playing style. . It will take about forty-three minutes to upload it.” (It’s a fictional racing group, don’t sign in. There aren’t many groups that can score 43 points in the fourth week of the national server, please make a note to avoid misunderstandings.)
"Wow!" Wanwan exclaimed, "It's so fast. We haven't even beaten the first player in the forty-three minutes since we entered the game!"
"Why do we have to wait for foreigners to pass on the story?" Meng Laosan also asked curiously.
"Well, WCL, foreign websites can't help it. The rules are set by others. We can only follow the rules when racing. Some tactical details are a little trickier. If you don't clean it up, it doesn't count as taking advantage of the rules. If you are banned, it will be equivalent to a ban. One less CD was played." Shi Yuan explained patiently, and then asked: "Are there any more pits for cavalry? Where have you been?"
"Muru, Naiqi, you can come and clear up the wasteland. You are much better than me." Chen Yu gave in directly.
It’s not that he disliked the difficulty of clearing up Mulu and didn’t want to fight. It was precisely because he actually got a milk rider in the nostalgic server that he discovered that the usually stable breasts of the Ten Dollar Knight were quite powerful, except for last week’s little show by Femis. Other than that, basically nothing went wrong.
The milk rider is a position with no room for error. Ten yuan is a skilled worker. For the team, it is definitely better to play the milk knight with ten yuan.
Shen Jia also typed a line of words at this time: "You are not short of people, are you? Then I will get off, and my son will come to pick me up."
In fact, her son did come to pick her up, but she refused.
After all, the roads here are spacious, the street lights are bright, and it is very close to the hospital. There are many pedestrians passing by, so it is relatively safe. She didn't want to bother her son with another trip to pick him up. But she felt uncomfortable playing games alone in an Internet cafe while leaving her husband and son, who had just returned home from vacation, in the hospital.
So when she saw someone who could take the blame, she decided to go back and spend time with her family.
"Okay, Sister Wuyun, you are busy with your business, your family is more important." Wanwan nodded.
She asked Chen Yu for his opinion again: "Chen Yu, do you use thieves to fight? Or use Sister Wuyun's hunters?"
"Be a thief." What he was thinking about was that the possibility of passing Mulu tonight was very slim. At this time, he had to adjust the keys and plug-ins to change someone else's account. If he wasted too much time, he would lose a few skills. It was better to use the thief to try it out first. The situation cannot be discussed further.
After Chen Yu and Shi Yuan changed their numbers and entered the book, Kongcheng was in place to confirm and prepare to start the battle.
In Ye Xue's words: "Destroy a few first and show them their skills."
The boss of Mulu is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the boss body will not attack, but various mobs will be continuously refreshed on the field. There will be a wave of void guards every thirty seconds, and a wave of humanoid monsters every minute. There are three front doors and three back doors, a total of six.
Each of these mobs has its own skills, which puts huge pressure on the tank. If the latter wave comes out and there is still a backlog in the previous wave, it will easily lead to a collapse.
Generally speaking, Mulu's main pressure point comes from the first stage. Under the pressure of the tight timeline, he will be exhausted all the time clearing the mobs. It is difficult to balance the output of the boss body, and then he will fall into a state of chronic death.
Based on Chen Yu's impression of land reclamation more than ten years ago, this is a boss that places great emphasis on "hitting wherever you point it", which requires execution. At the same time, the hardware pressure is not small, especially for a less powerful boss like Wandering in the Cloud. For the group.
Let the hunter block the boss and everyone enters the scene.
According to Kongcheng's arrangement, everyone starts with a full blast to suppress a wave of the main body, and then waits for the first black water.
Managalm was slow to release the black water, and it had a continuous effect of losing 3,000 blood per second, and it couldn't be healed, so it was a matter of respect to die first. Fortunately, he had the ability to fake corpses, and Kongcheng decisively asked him to fake corpses.
everyone
The second person to die was Ye Xue. He was playing a milkshaker. The second wave of humanoid monsters spawned. A berserk raccoon didn't catch it, so he hacked Ye Xue to death while he was breastfeeding with two knives.
"Pull it!? There is a humanoid monster in the crowd! What are you doing standing there?" Seeing that the old man's ring had turned into an archangel, Kongcheng hurriedly called a tank to pick up the monster.
Before she finished speaking, Luo Xi fell down.
"How did you die!?"
Kongcheng directly opened the death record and took a look: "Three fireballs in a row!"
His first reaction was to complain about why he didn't interrupt the fireball spell, but then he thought about it, no, it might be an instant fireball!
The mage monster among the humanoid monsters will release fireballs, and he will also give himself a buff. The effect is that he cannot move, and the next five skills are all instantaneous. If the monster has this buff, it cannot be interrupted. It must be stolen or dispelled before it can continue to read.
"Wanwan, take a look at what's going on in WCL, and focus on whether the Dark Oath Wrath Mage has any instant buffs when he releases these fireballs."
