Chapter 221 The Dark Dragon Supreme that provokes public anger

Chapter 221 The Dark Dragon Supreme that provokes public anger

The number of levels in "Ancestral Tree" will automatically increase. This incident almost stimulated the sensitive and fragile nerves of players, who are worried that the game file size will also increase accordingly.

Don’t blame them for their wild imagination, it’s mainly because there is a precedent from “Global Evolution”!

certainly!

Facts have proved that this was a false alarm. "Ancestral Tree" is not "Global Evolution", and the increase in the number of levels will not cause a major change in the file size of the game client.

"why?"

Xiao Lu doesn't seem to understand why the two games are so different in nature?

"Global Evolution" is just the first level of NPC evolution, and the game files have expanded rapidly, making it impossible to hold them back.

But "Ancestral Tree" has thousands more levels, but the game files are almost unchanged. Are the thousands of extra levels fake?

"It's not fake..."

Chen Ba explained: "The subsequent level growth of "Ancestral Tree" is a new level in name, but it actually does not add new things."

This is the fundamental reason!

The extra thousands of levels may sound bluffing, but the monsters are still the same monsters, the traps are still the same traps, and the map elements are still the same map elements.

Nothing new is produced, only old things. How can the game client files change?

In order for Xiao Lu to understand easily, Chen Ba also gave an obvious example.

Minesweeper!

Do you encounter different situations every time you open Minesweeper? At first glance, is it a new level every time you open it?

But in fact, there is a set of generation algorithms behind this, and the game elements are just a few grids, numbers, and mines. So the changes come and go, seemingly endless, but in fact they do not go beyond the original game framework.

Not to mention thousands of dollars.

As far as the game framework of "Ancestral Tree" is concerned, even if the so-called 100 million level does pop up in the end, no matter how big the game client is, it will at most store a little more user information.

"Then global evolution..."

"As I said, the problem of client expansion in Global Evolution is because NPCs have generated new game content during the evolution process."

Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "These two are not of the same nature, do you understand?"

The level changes in "Ancestral Tree" are like the changes between Arabic numerals from 0 to 9. The game itself contains all numbers from 0 to 9, so whether it is 999 or 888, they are all included.

The same is true for "Global Evolution". The evolution of NPCs from stages 1 to 9 is also included. No matter how much you evolve, it will not change the world.

But starting from the 10th stage of evolution, the nature has changed. When imitating apples, the number 10 is not used, but is replaced by X.

X is not included in the original game framework, so new game content and game files are generated, resulting in client bloat.

"Okay, I don't understand this."

Xiao Lu sighed and said, "But Brother Ba, our game seems to have a new problem."

"what is the problem?"

"After a certain player evolved beyond level 20, he shared his experience tutorial of evolving from level 19 to level 20, hoping to cultivate new strong players for the player camp."

Xiao Lu explained: "But based on feedback from other players, it was found that the evolution experience this player spent to evolve from level 19 to level 20 was not comparable to other players."

"What...what do you mean?"

Chen Ba was confused when he heard this. What does it mean that the experience required for evolution is not adequate? Is he cheating?

"It's not cheating, this is what happened..."

In the game "Global Evolution", there is no traditional experience value and level system. Instead, there is an evolutionary system.

By killing ferocious beasts, spirits and sea beasts of the same level and taking their flesh and blood essence, you can obtain a certain amount of [evolution].

When the [Evolution Degree] reaches 100%, you can start the evolution ceremony, evolve to the next stage, and gain greater strength.

The problem lies in [evolution].

Assume that this player who posts in the community and imparts experience and insights evolves from level 19 to level 20. The required evolution experience is 100 points.

Then after verification by other players, the experience they need is 110 points...

The difference is 10%!

10% is quite a lot. You must know that player evolution is inherently more difficult than NPC. The higher the level of evolution, the more difficult it is to obtain and accumulate evolution.

With the same evolution result, why is there an unfair situation where one gets 100 experience points and the other gets 110 experience points? Could it be that Brother Ba is causing trouble on purpose?

"None of my business!"

Chen Ba cursed angrily: "I have been playing with the new game "Ancestral Tree" these days, how can I have time to cause trouble behind my back?"

"Besides, even if I do evil, I will do it openly. As for doing such small tricks to secretly change the values?"

"Then look at this situation..."

"Don't worry, I'll investigate!"

Chen Ba did not rush to make a conclusion, but first went to the Tianba community to take a look at the original post, and then contacted the player who posted it and asked him if he had made PS modifications to the picture.

After technical inspection and the player's confirmation, the picture itself is OK and this is the original picture.

Then, Chen Ba logged into the game again and used GM tools to create a level 19 evolution account on the spot, trying to break through to level 20.

The required experience has indeed increased!

And the increase has changed from 10% to 20%! He repeated the test several times and determined that the increase was always 20%, not 10%!

Why has it changed again?

Chen Ba, who wondered if something major had happened in the game during this period, called the game's background log to check the details.

Soon he found the answer!

It turns out that between the time when the first level 20 player posted a message and other players reported that the experience value was inaccurate, and then when Chen Ba verified it, another level 20 evolved player was born in the game.

"He is 10%..."

When Chen Ba checked the evolution and changes of this player from level 19 to level 20 in the background, he came to a conclusion.

"For each additional level 20 player, the evolution cost required to evolve from level 19 to level 20 will increase by 10%!"

"ah?!"

Xiao Lu was greatly surprised, as if he didn't expect such a mechanism to exist in "Global Evolution".

"Ah what, is this weird?"

Chen Ba touched his chin and said, "In those fantasy fairy novels, there have been similar settings for a long time."

Because the space of one side of the world is limited, it is difficult to raise a real dragon in shallow water. Therefore, the stronger the person, the more difficult it will be to break through, and some even need to overcome tribulations.

This is heaven and earth suppressing the number of strong people to prevent the proliferation of strong people from causing too huge a burden to this world.

That's why in a world like the one that covers the sky with a snap of a finger, there is a saying of "One Emperor in One Life". The pioneers who have attained enlightenment and become emperors will block the way of those who come after them, making it impossible for others to attain enlightenment.

The situation in "Global Evolution" is somewhat similar.

The supreme law of this world, or the will of the world, can also be the game mechanism, which cannot accommodate so many powerful people who have evolved beyond the 20th level.

Therefore, every time a level 20 evolver is added, the path for latecomers will become more difficult, and the difficulty of breakthrough will become higher.

"Are NPCs unrestricted?"

"It's also restricted, but... the NPC evolves faster, so the players don't know it."

Chen Ba has figured it out.

Although NPCs and players can theoretically evolve infinitely after the game unlocks infinite evolution, the increase in panel strength is also limited.

Just like in traditional MMORPG games, it is more difficult to upgrade the level as you go up. The experience required to upgrade from level 99 to level 100 is likely to be more than the sum of levels 1-60.

Reason along this mechanism.

Chen Ba quickly deduced that the upper limit of the online mode of "Global Evolution" is 50 levels!

And this level 50 evolver should be the only one in the entire server! Regardless of whether it is an NPC or a player, as long as a level 50 evolver is born, the difficulty for the second person to break through level 50 will be like climbing to the sky.

Unless you are particularly liver-like and have liver all over your body, it will be difficult to break through level 50 in such a harsh environment...

Don’t talk about level 50!

Maybe at that time, there were only a few players who had broken through level 30, and those who had broken through level 40 were the strongest among the strong.

"That doesn't count as infinite evolution."

Xiao Lu said thoughtfully: "Originally, the NPC camp had the advantage of having many strong players, which made the players fearful. If this is the case, then in the later stages, the NPC camp will most likely not be able to defeat the players."

Before, it was a quick step and a quick step!

NPCs evolve faster than players. One step ahead means they are always ahead. It is almost impossible for players to overtake NPCs.

But if the upper limit of this game’s load capacity is level 50, then there’s something to be said for it!

When the strength of the strong NPCs is about to reach the upper limit of the game's load capacity and they are unable to increase their strength quickly, the players will probably catch up.

The players have rich fighting experience, and all of them are immortal. If they fight in the same realm, the NPCs will have to shed their skin even if they are not dead.

so……

The finale of "Global Evolution" is already foreseeable. This rebellion started by some NPCs will most likely end in failure.

"It doesn't matter, I will take action!"

Chen Ba disagreed and said: "The human-machine war in "Global Evolution" will not end easily. I will help the NPC camp when they show signs of decline."

What is the upper limit of level 50?

The so-called upper limit of load capacity can be changed. As long as you make a few modifications, the upper limit may become 80 or even 100 levels. Then you can play again?

…

The discussions that took place within Tianba Studio were unknown to the players of "Global Evolution".

But they did feel what it means to conquer ten thousand paths with one force, and what it means to move quickly with one step!

As a large number of top players entered the 20th level, players in the second tier were shocked to find that when it was their turn to evolve, their evolution experience almost doubled?

The defense is broken, the defense is broken!

If I had known there would be such a mechanism, I would have stayed up all night to become the first player to evolve to level 20.

it's good now……

Slowly step by step, top players have evolved to level 21 or even level 22, while there are still a lot of people stuck at the level of level 19 to level 20!

If "Global Evolution" players are the most vulnerable group this summer, then "Star Emperor" players are the second most vulnerable group.

Tianba community, digital technology section.

The entire forum was shrouded in deep resentment. Ten posts were refreshed, and nine of them were discussing the official strengthening of the Dark Dragon Supreme.

"Huh? Strengthened again?"

"The Dark Dragon Supreme is the designer's father? With this winning rate and strength, do you still want to pursue enhancements?"

"I'm shaking and cold, when will Emperor Xuanyang stand up?"

"The Dark Dragon Supreme has been slightly strengthened for five consecutive versions. Brother Ba, are you blind? You have a winning rate of 62% and you still haven't cut it once?"

"Stop scolding, stop scolding. My brother-in-law's second uncle's cousin works in Tianba Studio. I heard her say that this was an order given by Brother Ba himself..."

Community players are complaining.

The Dark Dragon Supreme is wreaking havoc on the Road to Immortality, and not only ordinary players are affected by this, but even the GAL league environment is also affected.

Players do have grievances.

A large number of new and old characters have the lowest winning rates and lowest appearance rates, but Tianba officials turn a blind eye. New skins are coming out, but there is no enhancement.

And the Dark Dragon Supreme is firmly at T1 strength. It doesn't matter if it is not weakened. The designer is still chasing to strengthen it and puts all the food in his mouth. Who can bear this?

If you have any grievances, vent them.

After five consecutive updates, the move to strengthen the Dark Dragon Supreme finally caused a backlash for Chen Ba. The rating of "Star Emperor" fell below 8.0 for the first time, and most of the reviews on the steam platform were negative.

"Then let's cut it!"

Chen Ba is not the kind of stubborn person who insists on confronting players. Although he strengthened the Dark Dragon Supreme for the sake of his old father, it did anger other players.

If that's the case, let's chop it off.

First, calm down the restless players and save the endangered game reputation. As for the old father, go home and explain it to him!

Old Chen is not an unreasonable person. Although he likes the Dark Dragon Supreme, he has not enjoyed the intensity of these versions.

Things are changing!

The scenery was endless before, but now it is as if it has been returned to the dust, and there is no problem of too big a gap in my heart.

What's more, Chen Ba still has remedies.

He has already studied and understood the mechanism of the Dark Dragon Supreme. In two days, he asked the designer to make a new character that was highly similar to the Dark Dragon Supreme, with enhanced mechanical skills.

It's a bit like Kotina and Seraphine in League of Legends. Their positioning skill mechanisms are highly similar, making them perfect substitutes.

There is such a new character, and Lao Chen will probably like it very much. As long as he plays a new role and no longer thinks about the Dark Dragon Supreme, then he can knead him as much as he wants?

When the time comes, the Dark Dragon Supreme will directly chop it to death, weakening it to settle in the sewers, allowing the players to completely calm down their resentments.

Simply kill two birds with one stone!

As for the Dark Dragon Supreme, who has gone out of business and settled in the sewers, will the new character who is his replacement become a new target?

There is a high probability that this will not happen.

Because Chen Ba has learned his lesson, he will no longer give the characters that his father likes to play and enhance them to the strongest version.

Shoot the first bird!

The Dark Dragon Supreme was criticized and scolded, and the players of "Star Emperor" became angry. Isn't it because of the popularity?

Five consecutive versions have been enhanced, and they don’t know how to restrain themselves at all. Who else would you criticize?

We can't do that this time.

At least it won't be so blatant and enhanced in five consecutive versions. Players will at most say that the new characters are very strong, but they won't think they are supermodels or perverted.
