For the players, three days is neither a short time nor a long time.
To put it short, it’s because the game “Dark Sands” is too time-consuming.
In this game, players are always in a state of deep sleep and can focus very focused on the game goals. In addition, the content in this copy is complicated and there are too many things that need to be verified, so the game time always passes without realizing it.
It’s said to be long because three days is enough for players to make a huge leap forward in the dungeon!
While Meng Yuan was trying to clear the trial copy himself, he was also paying close attention to the discussions among the players.
So far, there have been many excellent posts on the official forum about the appearance of "speed pass" and "high score".
"Optimization of the first battle process: quick acquisition of the artifact Yi Dao, optimal enemy-killing route planning, and safest escape strategy!"
This post is mainly to help players plan the process of the battle with Magistrate Tang. It is mainly suitable for early combat characters such as Min Fu and Gao Ze. The content includes which bandit is easiest to seize the knife from, and how to weaken the enemy with as much health as possible. There is vitality, when should you break away decisively, etc.
"Identity selection analysis: How to determine whether you should choose an ordinary identity or a special identity based on gameplay!"
This post analyzes the identity selection issues of several major genres.
Players have discovered that characters with special identities like Su Xianjun, Yang Xinyan and Gao Ze are not necessarily better than ordinary ones.
Special identities consume identity points, and generally have strong physical fitness. They are also key figures in the plot and are more likely to affect other characters. However, choosing ordinary identities and cooperating with these special identities can actually be beneficial in certain gameplays. Play a bigger role.
"Even handicapped players can learn how to quickly kill Shadow Warrior in 3 minutes!"
This post is mainly to solve the difficulty of some players not being able to kill Shadow Warrior. From the perspective of selection of combat talents, ambush locations, assistance from other characters, etc., players with less combat effectiveness can also successfully kill Shadow Warrior and ensure a smooth process. conduct.
After all, the advantage of some players is not in fighting, but in playing roles, recruiting local heroes, etc.
In addition, there are many other strategies, covering all aspects. Players have almost turned the entire Trial Fantasy content upside down.
That is to say, there are no bugs in this game, and there is no way to play evil speedruns. Otherwise, Meng Yuan has no doubt that players can do things such as "jumping directly on the roof of the theater at the beginning, killing Shadow Warriors and setting the theater on fire to complete the level" that will make people's eyes dark.
In short, after three days of hard work, those players who previously only had a "D-low" rating can basically achieve a stable "C-upper" or even "B-low" rating after constantly optimizing the clearance process.
As for the players at the top of the rankings, their ratings have been reduced to "lower"!
As for the highest score of "Above", no one has been able to give it yet.
In fact, this is not to blame the players, after all, the original "Above" evaluation was originally based on the three talents of the sequencer.
With three talents available, the Orderer has more space to play in the dungeon than the player. Moreover, the three talents can cooperate with each other and stack up with each other, which makes it possible to achieve a top-notch rating.
Therefore, for Meng Yuan, it was enough to surprise him that players could only take one talent and still get a "lower" rating.
Of course, the crazy involution of the players also created huge pressure on Meng Yuan. He also suffered a lot even with three talents, and he could barely keep up with these top players. By playing Su Xianjun, he barely managed to keep up with the top players. Got the rating of "under the first grade".
In addition, during these three days, Meng Yuan also opened up a 100% pain experience mode to those players who successfully climbed onto the leaderboard.
This is of course hoping that they can adapt to this change in pain earlier, so as not to be unable to adapt after entering the real historical slice, resulting in a decrease in combat effectiveness.
From the current point of view, these top players who are really at the top of the rankings are basically pursuing no injuries and adapt quickly.
But when it comes to real historical slices, it's hard to say whether they can still perform to their due level.
In short, everything is ready.
Meng Yuan published an announcement on the official website and also sent individual notices to the selected players.
Tonight at 10 o'clock, it's time to finally test the results!
…
"Good guy, Chu Ge, you have been chosen!"
Li Hongyun looked at the "Ultimate Trial List" on the official website of "Ansha" with unspeakable envy and hatred.
Although this ultimate trial is 100% painful, among all the closed beta players, only five were chosen!
Many hardcore players would rather die in pain than give it a try.
Chu Ge took a look at the list: "Well, as expected, this selection is quite reasonable."
As expected, the official selection was based on the previous rankings, and the selected players were all familiar faces to the players. They were all top players in various professions, so the other players had no objections.
Four players, Zhao Haiping, Huo Yunying, Xia Ruoling and Chu Ge, were selected as representatives of the four professions respectively. At the same time, they were also the top four in the rankings. This result was already within the expectations of most players.
As for the last candidate, although it is also fifth on the list, everyone has no impression of this name.
This is a player named Meng Yuan. His profession is a ranger, but he never posts any strategy posts online, so no one knows him.
Only Zhao Haiping, Chu Ge and a few other players who had participated in that offline event near Tiandu City knew that this was the guy from before who was "not good but very brave".
It seems like this guy has made great progress!
In short, the candidates have been decided, and other players have also sent their blessings, hoping that they can successfully pass the final trial.
After all, whether you can pass this final trial directly determines whether the game can normally start the "Expedition of the Orderer" gameplay.
…
10 at night.
Xia Ruoling entered the sequencer's space on time.
However, what is different from the past is that this time she is no longer the only one in the Orderer space, but four other figures appear at the same time!
Although she had never met Zhao Haiping, Chu Ge and Huo Yunying before, she knew them all after watching the video.
But the last player, Meng Yuan, has never been seen.
After everyone briefly introduced themselves and greeted each other politely, they quickly became familiar with each other. After all, we are all players, so we naturally have a common language.
For Meng Yuan, he had watched these people pass the customs, so of course he was very familiar with them.
It's just that at this time, he still reduced his presence as much as possible and gave the stage of performance to the players.
Always keep in mind that you are just a gamer.
As for this place, of course it is the real Orderer space. Because it is here that we can open up a path to a slice of history.
"So, what should we do next?" Zhao Haiping asked.
Everyone looked around and saw no new portals appearing.
The original location of the portal in the dungeon "The matter has yet to be settled and the coffin must be closed" is now empty.
Chu Ge thought for a while and said: "It seems that the ultimate trial has not been officially activated yet.
"That's fine. This period of time can be used to go over the battle plan again and assign tasks.
“Although it is a multiplayer cooperative dungeon, the official also said that the difficulty of the final trial will be greatly increased, and the plot development may be significantly different from that of ordinary dungeons.
"We definitely have to plan ahead."
As a player who is accustomed to "plan before taking action", before taking on this ultimate challenge that only has one chance and is 100% painful, you must confirm your battle plan again and again.
Otherwise, if everyone goes in and fights their own way without cooperating, wouldn't it just mean catching people blind?
Others also nodded, and they had no objection to Chu Ge's command.
In fact, Chu Ge had already sent them a combat plan for the multiplayer mode before. The combat plan basically sorted out all the details of the current clearance strategy and divided it into several different mission lines.
It's just that who will perform which task has not yet been finalized.
After all, before the list was finalized, Chu Ge was not sure whether there would be any changes in the rankings, so he did not finalize the candidates.
