After waking up from reality, players also began to discuss the game experience in the copy of "Eight Thousand Miles of Road Yunheyue".
"The two-in-one copy of Qi Chao feels pretty good!"
"It's not only good, it's much better than the previous copy of 'I'm still trying to talk', okay?"
"I was originally thinking that this new copy should be the two emperors of the Qi Dynasty, Taizu and Taizong, right? These two emperors are so different from the founding kings of other dynasties, and it is not interesting to experience it. In the end, it ended with Jing Pingzhi becomes the core."
"The power of demons is getting stronger and stronger, so the content of the dungeon must also become richer."
"This dungeon has indeed fulfilled a lot of dreams. The three lines of scribes, generals, and princes can all kill the emperor, kill traitors, and finally recover Yanyun. Although the routes are generally similar, after playing, I found that the details are very different. "
"It's really nice to be able to help General Han Fuyue embark on another path."
"However, I feel that the early stage of conquering the dungeon is a bit too long, while the final trials and the Orderer's Expedition are a bit too simple."
"After all, the big demon Xingtian this time is a brainless one. It mainly depends on his hard strength. The main difficulty lies in the initial stage of conquering the dungeon, but once you find the method, it will be much easier to defeat such a brainless monster. ”
"This should be considered part of the game settings."
"I just don't know if there will be a particularly smart witty monster in the future."
"Don't be too smart. I think the difficulty of solving the puzzle is just right now. If it's any harder, Chu Ge will have to be strengthened to the epic level."
For players, this copy can be said to have swept away the gloom of the entire Qi Dynasty.
In fact, the players were a little frustrated playing the dungeon that they had just tried to stop talking about.
Whether it is Yu Jiaxuan or Wang Wenchuan, they failed to realize their ideals and ambitions. Especially Wang Wenchuan, although his concept of reform is very good, the goal of reform can only be finally achieved when players collectively travel through time.
Under those conditions, it was an impossible task after all.
But for General Han Fuyue, the goal he wanted to achieve was within easy reach, but he failed because of the obstruction of the ignorant emperor and treacherous ministers. This is even more regrettable.
It is quite gratifying that players can help General Han Fuyue change his destiny.
Especially since he successfully killed Xing Tian who was guarding the Qi Dynasty this time, he should have gained a lot of upgrade experience.
What kind of skill levels will be opened this time?
Players can't wait to see the new version update announcement of "Dark Sand", as well as the new film and television works brought by the copy of "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon".
…
"New version update announcement of "Dark Sand":
"After the players worked together to help General Han Fuyue reorganize the government, avenge the Jingping Incident, defeat Yanyun, and create a glorious and prosperous age, the historical slice of 'Eight Thousand Miles of Road to Clouds and Moons' has been successfully conquered.
“The scope of the Fortress of the Orderer will be further expanded, the city construction plans available for selection, the list of weapons purchased by players will be updated, and the abilities of the Orderer will also be upgraded accordingly.
""Dark Sand" will enter a new version preparation state for seven days:
"1. The customs clearance clips of "Eight Thousand Miles to the Clouds and the Moon" will be available on major online video platforms in the form of interactive videos, and the revenue will still be returned to players.
“This episode will allow players to independently explore the various possibilities of that era, and will add the most suitable player clearance videos as supplementary materials, so stay tuned!
“2. In the land-conferencing gameplay, the scope of the Orderer’s fortress and player’s fiefdom will be further expanded. After connecting the new historical slices, the surrounding terrain will undergo more changes.
"More new craftsmen and shops will appear in the fortresses and fiefdoms of the Orderers, and more resource points will be unlocked. Influenced by the developed commercial economy of the Qi Dynasty, the commerce in the city will be more developed and prosperous.
“Players can use construction points in the Fortress of the Orderer to purchase various new weapons such as axes, machetes, hooks, heavy shields, and heavy cavalry armors.
"3. The heroic spirit summoning function has been upgraded.
"Heroic spirits that can currently be summoned are: General Deng Yuanjing, Sheng Taizu, Prime Minister Wang Wenchuan (not in a war state), Yu Jiaxuan, and General Han Fuyue.
“4. Issuance of qualifications for internal testing.
“At this stage, an additional 50,000 internal beta qualifications will be issued, bringing the total number of internal beta players to 200,000.
“New internal beta quotas will be selected according to the original mechanism.
"Special note: Depending on the historical slice, the number of players supported by the Orderer Expedition gameplay is also different. In some special circumstances, entry into the Orderer Expedition may require screening. Players are asked to work bravely in their own advantageous projects. Be first.
"5. Unlock the subsidiary identity: 'Plain Man'.
"On top of the four basic identities of soldier, assassin, scribe, and ranger, unlock the subsidiary identity 'Pig', which is parallel to the 'Cavalry' and 'Divinity Machine' subsidiary identities, and open the exclusive Trial Dungeon: The Rise and Fall of the World.
“After clearing the exclusive trial dungeon for the common man, you can obtain the subordinate identity of the common man and obtain exclusive talents and skills.
"Remarks: You can only choose one of the three subordinate identities among 'Cavalry', 'Divine Machine', and 'Plain Man'.
"Seven days later, the game will open a new version of 'The Crown of All Nations'. The specific update content is as follows.
"1. A batch of new talents and skills have been unlocked in the Orderer's talent and skill library, and the 'D', 'E', and 'Ji' skill levels have been unlocked.
“2. Some of the talent skills will be unlocked as permanent talent skills. Permanent talent skills will not occupy the original talent skill slots.
"3. Unlock the new copy 'Now the Universe is Peaceful'.
"The demons related to the historical slices of the Qi Dynasty and the Sheng Dynasty have been completely eliminated, and those who want to restore order can directly overcome the barriers and reach the heyday of the Liang Dynasty with Liang Taizong as the anchor.
“However, because the demon entrenched in the Liang Dynasty obstructed at the critical moment and used another historical slice to block the power of the sequencers, the sequencers need to break through two historical slices in a row, and the overall difficulty of the current copy will increase.
“After clearing the current historical slice, we will directly use Liang Taizong as the anchor point to unravel the entire history of the Liang Dynasty.
"Players can explore the specific gameplay by themselves."
…
As soon as the update announcement came out, players immediately started a heated discussion.
"The series will be updated in the form of interactive videos? Interactive videos?"
"Is it the kind of interactive video that's similar to a text adventure game? You can choose your own options and see different story directions?"
"That's it! This dungeon is really suitable for interactive videos, because there are many identities, complex plots, and each story line is relatively independent, and there is no particularly strict main line."
"It's quite interesting. No wonder you can only watch it on the website. After all, you need to use a keyboard, mouse or remote control to operate it."
"With the technical level of "Dark Sand", this interactive video must be much more beautiful than ordinary interactive videos, right? All of them are large-scale interactive videos performed by top players... I am really looking forward to it just thinking about it!"
"We have updated some equipment, including maza knives, big axes, hooks and sickles, as well as new armors and vests... Okay, we have to start moving bricks and changing equipment again."
"The business in the Fortress of the Orderer is more prosperous? Is there more food?"
"I would like to say that since the Goulan culture of the Qi Dynasty is so popular, can there be some brothels in the Fortress of the Order for me to listen to music."
"Do you want to listen to music? I don't even want to expose you!"
"The skill activation this time is so ridiculous, three skill levels were activated at once! It was activated to 'D' level instantly!"
"It seems that killing Xing Tian this time is indeed a great victory. Such a big demon is too rich, far beyond the comparison of the previous little demons."
"Yes, Fei Lian escaped during the Dasheng Dynasty, and although Fei Lian also escaped this time, he was forced to leave behind a large amount of demonic energy. It can be said that he ate at least 1.5 demons' power this time. It’s three or four times more than the previous estimate.”
"A new batch of closed beta players are going to suffer in the basic trial."
"I'm a little worried, can they really keep up with the progress? After coming in, they will first go through four basic trial dungeons, then there will be three dungeons of Dasheng Dynasty, two dungeons of Qi Dynasty, and two subsidiary identity trials. Lian...the content of this game is enough for them to play for several months."
"There's nothing to worry about. There are a lot of monsters. Have you forgotten that Li Hongyun made his first pass not long after he entered the game? I can only say that you can't imagine the real boss."
"Yes, this game is just fun for most people. Only the truly top players can dominate."
"The copy of the Liang Dynasty should be the copy of Emperor Taizong, right? Thinking about the records in history, it's really hard to imagine how players can recreate it..."
"By the way, shouldn't we be more concerned about this new subsidiary identity? We can play this right away, without having to wait for the new version seven days later. Moreover, what kind of identity is 'Piff'..."
This new subsidiary identity still surprises the players.
Because although the previous two subordinate identities are special, they basically have traces to follow.
For example, "cavalry" is a vital unit in the cold weapon era. We must find a way to arrange horses for players. Without horses, many battles cannot be fought at all.
As for the "magic machine", it can build weapons and firearms, and at the same time increase the accuracy and safety of guns, cannons, trebuchets and other equipment. This can be regarded as a quite justified status.
But "every man"...
What is it?
The concept of common man has existed since ancient times, and its meanings are just a few.
The first meaning, and its original meaning, refers to the common people.
For example, "The three armies can seize the commander, but an ordinary man cannot seize the ambition." Another example is, "Do not avoid the superiors if you punish them, and do not spare the ordinary men if you reward the good."
The "common people" here refer to ordinary people.
The second meaning refers to a foolhardy person, which contains a certain degree of contempt.
For example, "the bravery of an ordinary man and the benevolence of a woman", or the anger of an ordinary man, grabbing the ground with his head, all have the meaning of "incompetent rage".
The third meaning refers to mediocre and ordinary people, or simply a nickname used for insults. For example, "a common man in the market" or an "old common man".
No matter how you look at it, the word "everyman" is not an obvious compliment.
It is often used in a derogatory sense, and even if it adopts a neutral meaning, it means nothing more than ordinary ordinary people.
Of course, if you forcefully extend it, it can also be used in some complimentary ways.
For example: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."
But here comes the question, how should the common man be tested?
Just by looking at the name, many people have guessed that this may be a subsidiary profession that does not require much skill. However, considering the consistent difficulty of subsidiary status, players are still full of curiosity about this new subsidiary status.
…
Zhao Haiping's home.
He finished his daily exercise in his small gym, took a hot bath, and then ordered a takeaway, preparing to watch the interactive video of the new copy of "Dark Sand" while eating.
Yes, he is no longer at work.
Because... the income from "Dark Sand" is too high, who is still working?
Although this game is only played at night, it does not delay work time, but over time, as you make more and more money, going to work is completely unnecessary.
Now Zhao Haiping can still exercise during the day, and then read historical materials and understand some historical details to prepare for subsequent copies.
Isn't this more interesting than going to work?
Moreover, relying on these dividends, Zhao Haiping has also changed to a new house and has a large number of fans online.
In short, the trajectory of life has also undergone considerable changes.
Turn on the 100-inch large-screen TV, find the online video APP, and click on the new video of "Ansha".
This video is an interactive video, so it is not broadcast on traditional TV channels and cinemas, but is broadcast online.
Players can view it through the computer webpage, software or TV APP.
Zhao Hai was lying on the sofa, happily eating French fries while looking at the picture on the TV screen.
…
The first thing that appeared in the camera was a rather bustling and lively small town.
There are four gates in the city wall, divided into north and south roads, east and west divisions, and there are many temples.
There is also a ferry next to the city, where merchants gather and all kinds of goods are piled up.
Of course, Zhao Haiping recognized this place at a glance: Cenqiaoyi.
This was a very famous place throughout the history of the Qi Dynasty: Emperor Taizu bullied orphans and widowed mothers here... Oh no, it was the place of Longxing. Later, during the Jingping Incident, the Jin people also raided this place.
In the final trial copy, players basically defeated the golden soldiers near here.
The words "Cenqiao Station in the seventh year of Chonghe" appeared again in front of all the audience.
Then, the camera gradually zoomed in and kept circling around Cenqiaoyi. While showing the players the customs and customs of the entire Qi Dynasty, it also focused on introducing the different identities that the players can choose.
For example, when passing by Cenqiao Station, you can see the assassin Green Forest Man, and when the camera comes to the capital, you can see Li Hao as the censor Zhongcheng. Looking further west, there are Green Foresters as rangers and soldiers of the Zhending Army as warriors.
Every time you pass a character, a new option will appear on the edge of the video, and players can use the remote control or archery to choose.
You can choose characters, and you can also choose actions under certain circumstances.
For example, if you choose an assassin player, you can choose to stay in Cenqiaoyi, or go to the capital or other places; in Cenqiaoyi, you can choose to fight on the city walls, or hide in civilian houses to assassinate Jin officers, etc. .
In short, this interactive video is a simple summary of the main choices of more than 100,000 players in the real trial fantasy world.
Every player makes different choices when facing this situation, with more than 100,000 different routes.
Most of the routes are similar.
The official of "Ansha" unified the route of "staying in Cenqiaoyi" and chose the actual picture of one of the players to display.
Of course, the selected player must have good operation skills, excellent acting skills, and an image that fits the role.
In this way, although this interactive video will inevitably lose a certain degree of freedom, allowing viewers to only choose from a few specific options, it will have a different kind of fun.
This choice, on the one hand, allows the audience to reduce some useless efforts and avoid repeated meaningless attempts; on the other hand, it ensures interactivity and allows the audience to be willing to try more different options.
It's a bit like the gameplay of an interactive movie game.
Different from interactive movie games, because it is based on "Dark Sand", players have already performed a variety of operations, so the options are several times higher than ordinary interactive movie games;
Moreover, it does not require any configuration. After selecting any option, the video data can be transmitted directly from the server without being restricted by the terminal. Whether it is a computer web page or a TV, you can have a smooth experience;
More importantly, "Dark Sand" made a lot of unique designs when making this interactive video. For example, when the player is thinking about different options, the two videos will be connected in some clever ways, making the whole process smooth and natural.
This game even adapts to the remote control. Just hold the remote control and click up, down, left, and right to quickly select different options. Once you get used to it, you won't feel the fragmentation of interactive videos at all.
Moreover, after completing the first stage, the video will perfectly connect to the second stage.
After reaching the second stage, players have more options, and they can completely reproduce the special routes of Chu Ge, Fan Cun and Zhao Haiping at that time.
Of course, considering that some players may not want to use their brains and just want to watch the most perfect clearance video, this interactive video also prepares a "best version" of the video at the beginning.
For example, the best version of the video of the character "Li Hao" is that during the Jingping Incident, he first served as an official in the capital and helped Li Boxi fight against the Jin Dynasty. Then he was kidnapped and returned to the Qi Dynasty to protect General Han Fuyue and on the ship. Kill Qi Gaozong and so on.
By choosing this essence version of the video, players no longer need to consider these complex options, just like watching a movie, watching the entire process of a complete route.
…
"Is there no dialogue this time?"
Zhao Haiping still felt a little regretful.
Because the previous two dungeons, Sheng Taizu and Wang Wenchuan, both had dialogue sessions. Traveling through history and talking to the ancients is indeed a dazzling experience.
But on second thought, this copy is really not suitable.
General Han Fuyue is a relatively pure person, not as complicated as Sheng Taizu and Wang Wenchuan. The dialogue... actually can't tell anything.
It is actually a dream come true for players to be able to fight side by side with General Han Fuyue, to be able to help him change his destiny against the will of heaven and fulfill his unfinished ambition in the illusion of trial.
All in all, this interactive video is innovative in form, allowing players who have not experienced this dungeon to experience to the maximum extent the different actions taken by characters with different identities in the historical period of the Jingping Incident and the impact they had on history. Impact.
However, there is no more innovation in terms of content, and it is still based on the operations performed by players in the game.
This is not bad, it is a fairly stable choice.
This allows players who have not been able to experience "Dark Sand" to try their plot-breaking abilities and better feel the charm of "Dark Sand" and its historical content.
…
10 at night.
A new group of players have entered the game world of "Dark Sand" with excitement.
This time, "Dark Sand" has opened up 50,000 people for internal testing of the game. Of course, the actual number of players admitted is far more than 50,000.
These players still need to go through selection before they can obtain official game quotas.
However, the players selected at this time are definitely different from the initial batch of players.
They have longed for the game "Dark Sand". They have watched a lot of clearance videos, and have memorized various strategies by heart. They are just waiting to clear the four trial dungeons after getting the qualifications.
Therefore, obtaining the qualification for this trial is becoming more and more difficult.
This is quite normal. After all, games are like this. The first batch of players are often abused to the point where they can’t find anything to do. However, as the game content remains unchanged, as more and more players become more experienced and veterans gradually understand the game mechanics, later players Newcomers progress faster.
It's just that in this increasingly intractable situation, some players have to consider finding another way if they want to qualify for the closed beta.
Luo Ying looked at his hands in disbelief in the Orderer's space.
He turned and jumped just like a normal person.
"This... this game is really amazing..."
Tears almost burst out of Luo Ying's eyes.
In reality, he is a patient with ALS, and the problem has become quite serious by now.
ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that causes the gradual death of certain nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. These motor neurons, which are supposed to control muscles and allow the body to make various movements, are damaged at this time, resulting in The muscles are weak and stiff, as if they are frozen.
For Luo Ying, this was obviously a nightmare-like experience.
In the first two years, he could still play some not too complicated games with his hands, but gradually he could no longer hold chopsticks.
After learning about the game "Dark Sand", Luo Ying has been looking forward to experiencing the game.
But today, he finally got his wish.
At this time, in front of him, there were trial dungeons for the four basic identities of warrior, scribe, assassin, and ranger, as well as trial dungeons for the three subsidiary identities of knight, divine machine, and common man.
New players are free to choose any dungeon they like to challenge, and the final selection result is calculated based on various factors.
Generally speaking, players are more likely to choose the four basic trial dungeons because they are generally less difficult than the subsidiary identity trials and have richer strategies.
But from another perspective, they will also be more curly.
After all, everyone has seen the guide, so it’s hard to say who will stand out.
For Luo Ying, he obviously has no advantage over ordinary players.
After all, he has almost forgotten the feeling of body movement, and his control of strength needs to be re-trained. What's more, he hasn't read so many strategies or done any special research.
Therefore, after a brief consideration, he stepped into the "Plain Man" exclusive trial copy.
Perhaps in such a newly opened trial fantasy world that no one has experienced before, it can actually stand out among novice players?
