In the game world, players have initially conquered the level 120 area.
The number of people playing games is also increasing.
At the same time, their motivation to play the game is extremely strong, but they will not completely sink into the plot and scenario settings given by the NPC.
As the number of tourists increases,
Some players have discovered clues in the game. When they accept tasks, they always feel that the tasks given to them by NPCs are always on the evil side.
Virtual games are so realistic that if you do them too much, you will feel nauseous.
Many new players complained to customer service after playing this game, and some even left negative comments in the game's rating area.
"Why is this game so evil? Is the designer using his feet to create the plot?"
"I found that many tasks contain worship content from time to time. Although the worship statues are all different, there is too much content. Is the designer a pig brain?"
"Come out with me and beat you to death. What kind of bad game did you make? If it wasn't for the future of Orange Star, I would have deleted the game a long time ago! Scattered negative reviews!"
"+1 for sporadic bad reviews! Rubbish game!"
Zero to five stars, this is the scoring rule for Orange Star games.
Players generally don't give zero stars, and few do.
Many virtual games are released to the market after careful development, and their quality is guaranteed no matter what.
But this time it was different. The demonized "World" made new players angry, claiming that it was an evil game and was full of weirdness.
Online games containing violent elements are inevitably linked to fighting and killing. When NPCs discover violent elements, they secretly add some content that can lead people astray, making players fall unconscious.
However, not everyone will take this path. After some people discovered that the plot of the game was terrible, they left a negative review in the rating area.
Even though they knew that there was something really wrong with this game and that they were fighting to save all mankind, they still felt depressed and couldn't express their anger.
There were more and more sporadic bad reviews in the comment section, until it reached millions of ratings, and Orange Star executives began to take it seriously.
At first, artificial intelligence did not capture the evaluation elements of scoring, which led to many researchers not paying attention to the field of game scoring.
After all, this game has mutated. Why should we still focus on whether it is fun and whether it can be used as food? Wouldn't it be better to use this time to conquer the game?
A researcher gradually began to pay attention to this matter after receiving real-name complaints in reality, and people began to complain every day.
"The shortcomings of the novice missions mentioned by these netizens seem to be different from the missions we played at the beginning." A researcher analyzed.
"The game has mutated, and the NPCs in it also follow the original plot. Changes are normal."
"But such a change is too weird, look at the complaints from netizens..."
Seaside worship, choice of faith, two-way plot choice between chaos and reason...
Each mission does not clearly point to this weird choice, but the NPC always inserts a small node inadvertently.
For example, when you pass by a place on your mission, there will be an inexplicable statue standing on the roadside. You are in darkness. It is pitch black. Your ears hear something, but you don’t hear anything. You think it is an hallucination.
This kind of thing is hard to guard against. As long as you rely on NPCs to earn experience and props, you can't avoid going this way.
Many players did not pay attention to these things, and their spiritual awareness was also low. They just smiled happily and went straight away. They only thought about fighting monsters, experience, coins, equipment...
The Dark Ghost in the game did not realize how eager the players were for the hard needs of "killing monsters, upgrading, and equipping", so much so that they ignored the "worship" elements that were interspersed from time to time in the missions.
"There is a problem. This game is really problematic. We have to shut down the computer again and reorganize the strategy." The boss of the General Research Institute sat in the conference hall and read tens of thousands of selected zero-point negative reviews in one night. My head is too big.
The more I saw, the more shocked I became.
This kind of game, this kind of task arrangement, and a small inadvertent design can easily plant a seed of worship in the hearts of players.
Ordinary players may not attach so much importance to the magic of "worship", but as researchers, they have truly seen the power brought by Cthulhu.
Look at the evaporated researcher Liu Siting. His words can give people headaches for no reason, and he can also disappear in the room. This is beyond the scientific scope of Orange Star and is simply unreasonable.
That night, experts studied all night and believed that the entire game had mutated, so the NPC mission system was also out of control, and there was no guarantee whether the plot line would still follow the original plot line.
There are various signs that the Cthulhu sect has penetrated into the NPC plot system in the game.
"Stop the service. We have to work out a plan. We can't let the evil god succeed." The boss of the General Research Institute immediately made a decision and decided to stop the service.
If something goes wrong, the game will be stopped.
The current thinking of Orange Star is to stop the server if it cannot be played, and wait until they can think of a way to restart the game.
"Researcher Li Shen, I want to hear his opinion." Many old men opened their eyes and looked for the young figure with red eyes in various seats at the conference table.
"He is too tired and is resting in the mental health room."
"That's it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the automatic door of the conference hall opened.
Li Shen, wearing a white research coat, walked in slowly. The coat moved automatically in the wind, and his eyes were bloodshot on his determined face.
"I already know the situation."
"I suggest that all mission plot lines published by NPCs be abandoned, and players rely solely on monster spawning and upgrading, and rely on the efforts of the player team to slowly level up."
Li Shen sat in his usual seat, scratched the air with his hand, and submitted his voice and text document to the conference report waiting room.
After Li Shen arrived, everyone looked strange.
His aura is different from everyone else's. He seems crazy, but everyone feels that he is not crazy and is unusually calm.
Every speech Li Shen makes is very radical, but it sounds effective. Many old men don't have Li Shen's courage to risk everything.
It's easy to say it's easy to burn the boat, but it's extremely easy to overturn the situation.
After walking on the research path for a long time, my motivation has been polished by the cruel reality over and over again, but no young people dare to pursue it.
"Speaking of online games, the core of upgrading is inseparable from monster spawning. The plot is just a guideline for players to continue playing. Without the guidance of NPCs, we can still reach the full level with our own efforts." Li Shen finished. , frowned, his head hurting for a while.
That weird voice sounded in my head again.
Some people can no longer hear that troublesome sound, but Li Shen doesn't know why, the sound in his head always lingers, which makes him feel extremely irritable and wants to kill the source Liu Siting.
