[5. The content of B2 layer of Shelter No. 404 will be opened after the copy "Blood Hand Clan" is cleared. ]
[6. Wasteland Tips: The weather is getting colder, so remember to put on more clothes. In addition, if you see the owner of the weapon shop dozing off, please remember to wake her up to prevent her from catching a cold. ]
On that day, at six o'clock in the evening, the official website updated the announcement on time. The comment area below the announcement was quickly occupied by those little players who bought houses on the official website.
Tail: "Throne! (>ω?*)?"
Quit Smoking: "First!"
Quit Smoking: "Fuck! My first floor!"
Pick up garbage level 99: "Fuck, I thought it was updated!"
Spare someone: "I was so excited!"
Irena: "By the way, there are new players joining the game. Which batch of new players will be online tomorrow? (Funny)"
Stop bullshitting: "The fifth batch! A total of 40 people! So cool, hahahaha, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night. I can have fun tomorrow night!"
Macabazi: "Brother, don't be too happy too early. This game is not just about liver, I tell you!"
Midnight Killing Chicken: "Strength department, form a team, are there any new players who want to chop trees together? Come and chop trees, the axe is always the god!"
Spare someone: "Don't fight with me! Ha ha ha, the new players are mine!"
Night Ten: "Brother Dao! Stay calm, your mature and steady image is broken!"
Elderly Abin: "This guy is so scary. (?Д?*)"
Xiao Xiaoxiao Bookworm: "Is this game serious? Is it serious? Nervous."
The official website is as joyful as ever, full of joy.
Tomorrow is the fourth day of the launch of Alpha 0.4, when 40 newbies will arrive in the game world.
And the population of Shelter 404 will also rise to 90 people!
Chu Guang took a look at the number of reservations, which just broke the 800 mark. This time, thanks to the illustrations drawn by a mole on the forum, many passers-by came to join in the fun.
Chu Guang clicked on the post and took a look, and found that the painting was actually of himself.
Hey, you know what, the painting is pretty handsome.
No, it should be said that it is quite similar.
Canyon Runaway Mole: "What else do you want to see? There seem to be only these few NPCs."
I am the darkest: "Books! I want to see books!"
Rainy Night Without Umbrella: "I want! I want Teng Teng and Ya Ya's books! (Nosebleed)"
Teng Teng: "No, you don't want to! (#`Д′)??╰ひ╯"
The Little Match Girl Selling: "Ya Ya and Leech!"
Canyon Runaway Mole: "Fuck, you are a pervert."
Chu Guang watched and laughed.
Great, his game is getting more and more lively.
Today, the official website of "Wasteland OL" released an announcement. Although there is no new news about the development progress, but some settings that are gradually released as the game plot progresses, many smart little players still read a lot of important information from it.
Cow and Horse Club Group.
The cow and horse group players headed by Lao Bai and others basically log off and get up on time from one to six o'clock, and their work and rest time is quite like that of the Yang world.
Every time they go offline, the first thing these people do when they get up is not to wash their faces or brush their teeth, but to open their phones and brag in the group.
At this moment, the focus of the topic is on the announcement on the official website today——
Lao Bai: "Fuck, the amount of information in this update is a bit large!"
Quit smoking: "Good brother, tell me quickly! T.T"
Lao Bai: "In a word, a new NPC is added! A new "power relationship" setting is added! There are also new NPC "background story" and "personality" settings! If this is put in other games, it would be enough for the dog planner to brag about three versions!"
④Who knows: "It's a pity that Brother Ye Ao has left the group, otherwise there would be fun now. (grin)"
Ye Shi: "Who knew that his psychological endurance was so poor, I just said that the dog barked again, and he rolled away. (funny)"
Kuangfeng: "Isn't the point to mute it?"
WC really has mosquitoes: "(funny)"
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "(eating melon)"
Without Brother Ye Ao, the fun of the cattle and horses has been reduced a lot.
But this guy is now very successful, and has been upgraded from a group pet of cattle and horses to a pet of the Wasteland OL forum.
Fang Chang: "Don't worry about that person, let me talk about my analysis first. Although the official website did not release new content in the form of 'Alpha 0.5 version' this time, in fact, this soft update is enough for a version! My guess is that maybe this part of the content does not require new closed beta players? So the official did not update the version number."
Lao Bai: "That makes sense. Every time the version number is updated, it seems that the closed beta qualification will be issued. The lack of an update to the version number means that the content of this test is actually still within the framework of version 0.4."
Fang Chang: "Correct! In fact, you should have noticed that the frequency of our communication with NPCs has almost doubled since the last version. First, the caravan visited, and then the nearby natives came to cooperate. Today, a caravan composed of players was organized to go to Brown Farm. Who wants to guess what this means?"
Seeing no one answering,
Guessing that everyone was listening too attentively, Fang Chang stopped waiting and continued typing while asking and answering his own questions.
"This means... a wider world! Think about it, from the perspective of the planner, why do we need to update the setting of 'force favorability' at this time?"
Ye Shi: "Uh, I can't think of it, how about you explain it in detail?"
Fang Chang: "I still remember what Brother Guang said at the beginning, "Wasteland OL" is going to create a completely real world! Since it is a real world, then NPCs will definitely evaluate the player's behavior and respond accordingly, right?"
Ye Shi: "It seems to make sense, but what does it have to do with the wider world you mentioned? NPCs originally have a favorability setting."
Fang Chang: "That's a big deal! Players are set as members of Shelter 404. There is not only a relationship between players and NPCs, but also an evaluation of the players as a whole by NPCs! For example, if one of our players kills an aboriginal today, the relatives, friends and neighbors of the aboriginal will not greet us with a smile tomorrow, right? Even if neutrality does not turn into hostility, it will turn into vigilance!"
Ye Shi: "Fuck? You mean, joint liability?"
Kuangfeng: "This is a bit difficult. It's okay now that the circle is small, but it's hard to guarantee that everyone is normal when the circle is large."
Fang Chang: "Not really. There are few veterans who make trouble. Most of them are newbies. Generally, these newbies have no guns, no money, no attributes, and no operation. If a conflict really occurs, they will be beaten by NPCs. It's better to find the problem early and deal with it early. After a period of time, they will develop and the archives will be valuable. There will be sunk costs. Do you understand what I mean?"
Kuangfeng: "That makes sense."
Ye Shi: "??? What? What do you know?"
Fang Chang: "Newbies making trouble is a problem that the server operation and maintenance personnel worry about after the internal test. Let's not discuss it here. In short, the opening of the faction favorability system shows that the planners have consciously guided the players to consider the problem from the overall interests of the shelter. Why do you do this suddenly? It is obviously paving the way for adding a wider range of "NPC forces" to the "opening of new maps"!"
Lao Bai: "I agree with Fang Chang's point of view. I don't know if you noticed that the 5th item of today's update announcement mentioned that the B2 layer of the shelter will be opened after the "Blood Hand Clan" dungeon is cleared! What does this mean? It is obvious that the new map has been preloaded, but it has not been opened yet."
Ye Shi: "Fuck, is this testing the AI or testing us again?"
Fang Chang: "I think it's both! After all, games are for people to play. If they want to create a world close to the real world, an open virtual community, then they have to test the behavior of players in this community and adjust the server rules and gameplay. I have to praise the production team. This idea is simply invincible!"
Lao Bai: "Okay, don't brag for now. Tell me what you think? What should we do next? Or hunting?"
Fang Chang: "After winter, there are fewer and fewer prey, and the benefits of hunting are not high. Since the war with the Blood Hand Clan has begun, I guess the administrators will soon increase the bounty on the predators, and the next stage of the gameplay can be developed around this."
Kuangfeng: "That makes sense. "
Ye Shi: "By the way, we bought the land but haven't started the construction yet. When will we build the house?"
WC Zhenyou Mosquito: "Yes, yes, I'm waiting to open a studio. (Funny)"
Kuangfeng: "Don't worry about it. Our efficiency is too low. Why not hire a few people to build it?"
Fang Chang: "I think so too. Let the life professional players build the house. We should focus on earning money to upgrade the equipment."
Chu Guang, who hadn't peeked at the screen on Penguin for a long time, felt a sense of emotion when looking at the computer screen.
He is worthy of being Brother Fang Chang!
He understands the version better than the planner himself.
"Starting tomorrow, the bounty for looters will be increased."
"After capturing a hostile force target and confirming that it is a looter, an additional reward of 20 silver coins and 200 tribute will be given on top of the original 5 silver coins reward. Bring back a looter corpse, and you will get an additional 10 silver coins and 200 tribute coins on top of the original 5 copper coins reward. "
"If the opponent is a centurion, the additional reward will be doubled!"
"By the way, in order to prevent newcomers from giving away heads, we have to limit the level of bounty missions. Hmm... For the time being, let's set it at LV2, and adjust it later depending on the situation. "
The first-tier players have basically reached LV2 in their gene sequences, and high-level players like Lao Bai who entered the game earlier have even reached LV4.
Being able to reach LV2 means that you have a certain understanding of the game, and the bonus brought by the basic attributes can also prevent players from being at a disadvantage when facing predators.
Of course, the most important thing is that players at this level have savings. With a little more effort, they can afford the cheapest iron pipe rifle in the weapon store.
Chu Guang checks the lockers every day.
In addition, he has Xiao Qi keep a record of every silver coin issued. It can be said that Chu Guang knows how much money the players have better than the players themselves.
In fact, land itself is not expensive, only 10 silver coins per square meter.
At this moment, most players have saved enough money to buy land, but they are just suffering from the fact that they have not yet saved 2,000 contribution points to upgrade citizens.
It's just right, don't save anymore, and those who have money should take it out to buy guns. Buying guns to fight bandits can not only make money but also earn contributions.
Once the dungeon is cleared, this opportunity will be gone!
"It depends on the situation. If not many people buy it tomorrow, let Xia Yan give a 10% discount on the basic guns in the weapon shop. "
Of course, the promotion only includes iron-barreled rifles and revolver rifles, but not bullets.
A steel-core copper bullet produced in Boulder City is sold for 1 silver in the weapon store. The rolled copper shell bullet produced in Honghe Town is sold for 5 coppers.
If it is a "low-quality" bullet made by the owner of the weapon store with black powder, it will be slightly cheaper, and you can buy one for 2 coppers.
Too expensive?
Go and complain to the owner, it has nothing to do with me, the manager.
It's not my store.
Chu Guang's face was full of smiles.
Finally, I don't have to worry about the ammunition of these players.
When the players buy the guns, they can waste ammunition as much as they want, anyway, they bought it with their own money.
Xia Yan, who was sitting in the corner reciting a book, suddenly shivered without warning.
Although the air outlet was blowing warm air, her back was chilly. She always felt that the man sitting in front of the computer was planning something "evil" again.
The corners of his mouth were raised to his ears...
