This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

Chapter 99 Why no one went to save the princess?

Sanda Buluo, Tianba, Mu.

Tianba community.

The official communication community, which originally had an average daily activity of hundreds or thousands, saw an influx of tens of thousands of people following the popularity of "God's Grace Continent".

Guo Mo hasn't visited the community for a long time.

The main reason is that he has been busy recently. His grandfather was ill and hospitalized, and his parents could not come back from home. So he simply stopped broadcasting for a week and concentrated on taking care of the elderly in the hospital.

Grandpa's operation went well. He was discharged from the hospital yesterday and went to see his old friend for a walk and play chess today.

Guo Mo, who had nothing to do at home, simply started the live broadcast to tell the old viewers about his grandfather and learn about the latest information about "Star Emperor".

That’s right!

As a "Star Emperor" anchor, how can I not know about the game information after being off the air for so long?

The main thing is to look at the update announcement!

During his hiatus, did Tianba Studio release any new characters? Have the characters he often plays been nerfed or buffed? Has the game been changed?

With this idea in mind, Guo Mo opened Tianba's official website, logged in to his account skillfully and clicked on the player community.

As soon as he entered the community, he was confused.

From the time his grandpa fell ill, to when he stopped broadcasting and went to the hospital to accompany him, to when his grandpa was discharged... Calculating the time, he didn't visit the community for at most half a month.

How come the community has changed so much in just half a month?

In the old Tianba community, you would see a familiar page for reading posts. Whether it was the Cowherd Cult, the Gu Mua Sect, or the Immortal Kings and Emperors who had gone a long way to become immortals, everyone would exchange their experiences here.

But now, the player community has divided into different communication sections based on different games and groups of people.

"Cattle Breeding", "Real Estate Transactions", "Digital Technology", "Animation Online", "Ba Ge Support" and "Station Management"...

What? What is this?

Each name of these subdivided sections made Guo Mo feel strange and difficult to understand. He can only understand "Site Management", which should be a section for feedback and handling of community and official website issues.

With a trace of curiosity, he moved the mouse, selected the "Cattle Breeding" section and clicked the left button to confirm.

[Reasonable discussion, is Brother Ba similar? Why hasn't "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" been updated for so long? 】

[Review of the 6th offline gathering of the Cowherd Cult, the venue of this gathering...]

[The hard drive is broken, please send me another copy of the old scalper’s dirty pictures! 】

Got it, this is the headquarters of the Cattle Herding Cult! It is also the player communication section of "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator".

Guo Mo seemed to understand why this section was called "Cattle Breeding".

Next, real estate transactions!

This forum is more lively than the previous forum, and it is filled with various game discussions about "The Survival Simulator".

There are also veteran players who have come forward to tell new players with personal experience that there are two types of home buying: immediate need and investment, but no matter which one it is, the sooner you buy a house, the better...

Next up, digital technology!

As soon as he opened this section, Guo Mo immediately felt like going home.

Sure enough, this is the communication area for "Star Emperor" players, and 80% of the posts here are related to the game "Star Emperor".

Why 80%?

The remaining 20% ​​of the post content cannot be said to have nothing to do with "Star Emperor", but it is mainly related to "Fairyland Digital".

After taking a look at the latest popular posts and pinned highlights in the "Digital Technology" section, Guo Mo had an idea.

During the week he was off the air, "Star Emperor" underwent a round of routine maintenance updates, but no new characters or game balance changes were introduced.

Players in the community are basically criticizing Brother Ba, saying that he forgets his old love when he has a new love. "Star Emperor" has not released a new character for five months!

"Indeed!"

Guo Mo thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case.

It has been five months since the launch of a new character in "Star Emperor" [Tianniu Supreme]. It's time to introduce new characters to appease the restless players.

Brother Keba...

It’s okay if there are no new characters, and I’m too lazy to come up with new skins. However, Fairyland Digital is very active in replenishing supplies.

When the 40 series is out of stock across the entire network, Xianyu Digital has never been short of 4090 and 4080. No matter when you buy them, they are always in stock.

Focus on a relationship account!

I don’t know how many times Brother Ba had to sell his butts to get so many graphics cards in stock from graphics card manufacturers. Scalpers had to get the goods from Brother Ba. The background was simply too hard.

The most outrageous thing is that someone previously shared his shopping experience, saying that he bought a defective card at a certain Mao flagship store in Renshuo and immediately asked customer service for a replacement.

Because it is 4090, the flagship store does not have much stock, so direct refunds can be processed, but getting a new card is more difficult.

In the end, the customer service said helplessly, I will give you a full refund. If you really want to buy my 4090, go to Xianyu Digital next door and have a look. Brother Ba must have it in stock...

"Oh, Brother Ba!"

Guo Mo shook his head and was too lazy to complain about Brother Ba. After all, Brother Ba had just released a new game and it was normal that he didn't have time to update "Star Emperor".

When it came to new games, he was immediately interested.

He also plays "God's Grace Continent" and was one of the first players to get the early access version. He is still very curious about this game.

So... this "Animation Online" section is not the "God's Grace Continent" player communication area, right?

With a trace of curiosity, Guo Mo opened the "Animation Online" section of the community and browsed the posts in this section.

He thought that this was a gaming community after all, and the content discussed would not be too outrageous.

Who knew...

The players of "God's Grace Continent" seemed to be different from what he thought.

In the "Anime Online" section, no one is seriously discussing the game at all. Everyone is discussing animation production, video editing, dubbing and soundtrack synthesis, and script copywriting.

"ah?"

Guo Mo glanced at the introduction of the community section without giving up: Welcome to "Animation Online", this is the communication area for players of "God's Grace Continent", please check the top post for content specifications and layout rules...

You're right!

Isn’t this the “God’s Grace Continent” player communication community? Why does it look like a professional animation forum?

After taking a closer look, there seemed to be many foreigners active here, speaking Japanese, English, and French, mixed with various professional terms, which made people dizzy.

The content of the posts varied.

But the theme is the same. They are nothing more than asking or answering questions about how to use the software "God's Grace Continent" to create exclusive God's Grace animations.

"software?"

Guo Mo was a little angry when he saw that people on this forum were accustomed to referring to "God's Grace Continent" as a software instead of a game.

How can you talk nonsense?

"God's Grace Continent" is clearly an awesome RPG turn-based adventure game, so why is it an animation production software?

In order to correct this mistake and eliminate unhealthy trends in the forum, Guo Mo thought for a while, finally clicked to post and typed out a line of words on the keyboard.

"Have you forgotten your identity, the king's instructions, the princess on the shore of Daming Lake, and the mission you shoulder?"

Go and save the princess!

These people simply didn't live up to the name of "brave". After leaving the main gate of the palace, they turned around and forgot about rescuing the princess.

Is what you are doing worthy of the king? He gave him a huge reward of 10 gold coins!

"Princess?"

"That's right! I would have forgotten if he didn't mention it. "God's Grace Continent" is an adventure game in which a brave man fights a demon king."

Chen Ba also saw Guo Mo's post and suddenly realized: "How long has it been? No one has cleared the level and defeated the devil, right?"

"There are still some..."

Zhong Shengwei coughed and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "So far, there are about 8,000 players who have achieved customs clearance."

"The clearance rate is not even 1%?"

Chen Ba's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "So low? No, what are the brave men doing? Why don't they save the princess?"

"Who will save the princess?"

"A serious hero is either watching animation or working on animation. The matter of rescuing the princess has probably been forgotten a long time ago."

Zhong Shengwei smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Ba, haven't you noticed that even the player exchange forum of "God's Grace Continent" has turned into a professional animation forum?"

"I know this……"

Chen Ba nodded.

He is also a person who often surfs the Internet, and he must also pay attention to the official forum of his own game.

The "God's Grace Continent" community was indeed discussing the game seriously at the beginning.

But since the discovery of the “Shen’en Animation Player” and “Shen’s Animation Production” functions, the community has changed.

Everyone either shares and recommends Shen’en animations that they think are good-looking in the community, or posts to inquire about Shen’en animation production-related issues.

Divine grace animation is a new thing.

If you want to learn about this new gadget, the official forum is a good channel.

As a result, with the influx of more and more outsiders interested in "God's Grace Animation", the official player community of "God's Grace Continent" has become a technology sharing and exchange platform.

There are many animation professionals active here. From their exchanges, you can not only learn some animation production-related knowledge, but also understand and grasp the latest trends in the industry.

game?

Who is talking to you about games?

If you want to talk, let’s talk about which new divine animations have been released recently. How are their performance and reputation? Is the professional version of "God's Grace Continent" worth buying?

How can a novice use "God's Grace Continent" to create an animation like "The Adventures of Jayne"?

Only when the conversation is in full swing, an inappropriate voice may appear in the crowd: "Well... I just bought "God's Grace Continent", how should I match the lineup?"

Is this trend a good or bad trend?

Chen Ba didn't know either. Anyway, he was only responsible for arson. As for who the fire would burn after it was ignited, it was none of his business.

He is just a game developer with a little side job at most, that’s all.

As the main business, game development and updates are the core business of Tianba Studio, and it is also the ongoing work of Chen Ba.

He didn't need to worry about "This Brave Man is Too Stable". If the dubbing and editing hadn't kept up, it could have been completed in a few days.

However, the introduction of new characters in "Star Emperor" gave him a bit of a headache...

As a multiplayer online fighting game, "Star Emperor" has undergone multiple rounds of updates, and the number of characters has gradually increased from 6 at the beginning to 14.

To be honest, too few characters is not good, and too many characters is not a good thing either.

Because in a fighting game like this, as the number of characters increases, the balancing work becomes more complicated and difficult, and the systems involved become more and more bloated.

New characters are definitely coming.

There have been no new characters for five months, and Chen Ba’s family tree has been turned over by the players. If it continues to be delayed, the consequences will be disastrous.

But as the number of roles increases, the debate about Ban/Pick becomes more and more serious.

Players have unanimously requested that the Ban/Pick mechanism be introduced in the ranked mode of "Star Emperor" so that players can ban some characters.

Within the studio, there are also many people who support this plan.

Because of the reference to the Ban/Pick mechanism, the workload of "game balancing" can be greatly reduced. For some characters that have obvious restraints, players can just ban them.

for example.

The Starry Sky Emperor is very resistant to the newly released Cerambyx Supreme. It's very simple. When you want to play the Cerambyx Supreme, just ban the Starry Sky Emperor.

In this way, the next time a new character is released, you only need to consider the overall balance, and there is no need to consider whether there is a restraint relationship between the characters.

Just be restrained!

At worst, I will ban it, so what can you do no matter how restrained you are? Unless a certain character has too many natural enemies and not enough classes, the problem is not that big.

There are hundreds of heroes in League of Legends, and many of them have obvious restraint relationships. When playing solo, you can just ban the natural enemies.

"But there are 15 characters. As you said, each person has two classes. If you choose another one yourself, the options will be very small."

Chen Ba has no objection to the Ban/Pick mechanism. What he has an objection to is the number of Bans.

The opinions of players and within the studio are more in favor of one person and two squads to completely solve the problem of "natural enemies".

But Chen Ba feels that the current number of characters in "Star Emperor" is still too few. Both sides ban four characters at once. If the other party chooses another character, they can only choose one out of ten.

There’s not a lot of choice!

Some players may not specialize in many roles, only two or three. If all your bad luck is blocked, you will feel that you are being targeted.

"Then if he doesn't practice his role, who can he blame?"

Yang Dong feels that since the Ban/Pick mechanism will be introduced in the ranking match, it will largely test the "comprehensiveness" of the players.

If you don't have many good characters and you can't play them after being banned, then you can't blame the mechanism for being too cruel. You should blame yourself for not practicing with too few characters.

Everyone has the same class, so why don't others worry about this problem, but you are the only one who worries about it?

not to mention!

Even in games like League of Legends, where the red and blue teams add up to ten teams, there are still a large number of "unique skills" active.

So this problem is not as serious as Chen Ba thought.

It is a small probability event that all the characters you are good at will be banned. There is a high probability that your opponent does not know you and does not know what characters you are good at. They just randomly ban two characters based on personal preference and restraint.

If it is such a coincidence that you are recognized and all your good characters are banned, then you are indeed a fair loser.

After all, others are more prepared and have specialized tactics, but you have not prepared anything and are unwilling to spend time practicing your role. Who can you blame if you lose?
