Chapter 210: Old Thief! What are you doing?
Although they had received the inside information early on, the other side had added another "evil" old thief to the development team, which already had an extremely luxurious lineup.
But when Pei Yunteng really saw such a soul-filled dark night cat demon in Glory, whose claws could draw half of its blood, he still felt as if his eyes went dark.
"You're just like me... Putting a soul-type BOSS into the competitive game. Does this mean that both teams will lose half of their members before the fight even starts?" Pei Yunteng laughed.
As early as when he heard about Honor's development plan, Pei Yunteng had already anticipated the compatibility issues of the development team.
In this world, apart from Tenghai and StarCraft's Baoyu, there are almost no studios with mature experience in developing competitive games.
So even if Kotick can do whatever he wants in Europe and the United States with the influence of his family, he can't put together a top-notch competitive game development team.
Therefore, we can only ask designers from independent games and 3A masterpieces to take charge.
However, Pei Yunteng's previous life history has proved countless times that the development logic of stand-alone games and competitive games is fundamentally different.
Every profession has its own specialties, and this has never been an empty statement.
There is no doubt that the cat demon in front of us, who will probably be nicknamed "jail boss" or "dean" in the future if he does not change, is the embodiment of this kind of acclimatization.
But now is not the time to discuss this.
"How do we fight this? The damage is so high!"
Lu Boyuan was already panicking at this time, as the damage caused by the cat demon was completely beyond his expectations.
What does it mean to have half blood in one claw?
Even if you spend hundreds of millions to build a godly priest, if no one cares and just heals Yunshanluan, you can't save Yunshanluan's life.
"It doesn't eat frozen things!" While Lu Boyuan attracted hatred, Dai Yanqi's Luanlu Yinchen drew an ice line barrier next to the cat demon.
This was supposed to be a powerful control with a 100% chance of freezing the target, but the cat demon didn't even seem to slow down its movements.
Dai Yanqi was dumbfounded.
Thanks to the excellent engine, the reactions of the bosses in Glory when being controlled are generally quite realistic, but the effects are generally weakened.
For example, a levitation skill called Sky Strike can still make the BOSS float in the air when it hits the BOSS, but the effect is greatly reduced. This can be regarded as a balance for the BOSS.
However, the cat demon in front of him could no longer be discounted, and forced immunity was directly activated.
“How can I beat him when he’s not vulnerable to control and his damage is so high?” As a professional player, this was the first time that Dai Yanqi felt as helpless as a newbie in front of the boss of Glory.
Jiang Botao and Zhou Zekai looked at each other and could feel the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Lu Boyuan was half dead after being hit by a claw, let alone these fragile ones.
Xiao Shiqin racked his brains to think of countermeasures, but he did not have enough information to make a judgment and could not come up with a good solution for the time being.
"You can't use the same mindset as you did when fighting a Glory BOSS to face the monsters here." Someone suddenly spoke up.
Pei Yunteng controlled the horizontal sword and strode forward with a heavy sword in hand. Xiao Shiqin had no time to stop him because his position had already surpassed Lu Boyuan's Yunshanluan.
The dark night cat demon roared and grabbed with another claw.
As the original BOSS, this guy's only moves seem to be flying and clawing, which are a bit monotonous.
But Pei Yunteng is already in his thirties, and he is not a professional player, so his operating skills are far behind the others.
Wouldn't he send President Pei away with one claw? Xiao Shiqin was very worried that this big boss would become autistic because of the bad gaming experience.
However, Pei Yunteng dared to go up, which meant he was ready.
The heavy sword slashed towards the cat demon's claws, hitting the cat's claws at a very direct angle, making a crisp sound.
Hengdao was fine, but the huge dark night cat demon suddenly lost its balance and stumbled back a step.
Sure enough, there was a backlash!
Since there are the old thief Miyazaki and Eiji Aonuma, Pei Yunteng doesn't believe that there is no counter-attack.
The most likely thing to be countered, besides the knight with a shield, is the swordsman's block!
Sure enough, the effect is outstanding.
Hengdao immediately picked up the heavy sword and slashed at the cat demon that had lost its balance.
There is no need for any high-level skills, just continuous normal attacks and some small skills with very short lead-in times, patiently wearing down the cat demon's health bit by bit.
Seeing that the cat demon was about to get up, he immediately put away his knife and rushed and stabbed it to create distance.
“Don’t treat him as a BOSS. Think of this battle as using a blank account to accept the challenge of a newbie with god-level equipment!” Pei Yunteng said succinctly.
He couldn't explain to this group of people what soul combat was at the moment, and could only use a not-so-appropriate description to explain it.
"Observe its pre-swing, grasp the opportunity, don't be greedy, don't try any blood exchange ideas, staying alive is more important than anything else!"
These two explanations are almost the same as saying nothing, but fortunately, everyone here is a professional player.
After the initial killing blow from the cat demon's two claws, he finally came to his senses a little.
Zhou Zekai took the lead and stepped forward, using his gun and body skills to the fullest. The several leg and foot skills originally used for attack were all transformed into displacement and posture adjustment.
He was self-taught and basically every time he got close to the attack, he could accurately grasp the cat demon's afterswing, and even without the invincibility frame, he managed to exchange blood without any damage.
As almost the most flexible profession among everyone present here, coupled with professional players who have developed this profession to the extreme, its lethality and mobility are unquestionable.
After praising Zhou Zekai's performance, Pei Yunteng tried hard to recall the suffering he had endured in the French Ring DLC several years ago. He controlled his sword and charged forward with a certain tragic momentum...
……
Han Yong observed the expressions of the professional players and thought to himself that something was wrong.
If the contestants had looked relaxed, curious, and inquisitive at the beginning, now they were left with only two emotions: one was dullness, and the other was disbelief.
"What's going on..." Han Yong was completely confused.
He has thought about whether the game will be fun or not after the revision, and whether the players will be pleasantly surprised or disappointed.
But what's the reason for their current reaction?
Han Yong himself is not very good at playing Glory, and he is just doing his job according to orders, so he has not personally tried out this new mode to see how it feels.
Just when he was at a loss, someone patted him on the shoulder.
It’s Pei Yunteng.
After defeating the Dark Night Cat Demon with several other people, obtaining its drops, and learning its rules, Pei Yunteng knew that there was no need to continue.
He already had an idea of what kind of new thing Rong Yao had come up with.
I simply said goodbye to my teammates and quit the game.
Anyway, without any warning, their opponents will most likely suffer more than one casualty, so the advantage is still on their side.
The two came to a meeting room, and Han Yong couldn't wait to ask: "Boss Pei, what happened to them?"
"I was killed by Chu Jian. My thinking was not changed. That's it." Pei Yunteng spread his hands.
What is the core of the battle strategy of these professional players, whether they are from Honor or LPL?
Fight.
In a battle, if I take away 70% of your health and you take away 50% of mine, then I make a profit.
Under this premise, giving up some dodging in order to maximize damage is a feasible approach.
In other words, the average person is a greedy person.
If you play with this style and face a soul-type boss, and are caught off guard and killed for the first time, it would be a miracle if you don’t get stunned.
If I'm not mistaken, more than one team should have been wiped out by now.
"What should we do then?" Han Yong couldn't help but ask, although Rong Yao's life or death didn't seem to be a topic he should worry about.
"This is actually not a big problem. Just practice it a few more times and you'll get used to it, and it will be fine. Don't worry about it." Pei Yunteng shook his head.
The first time you kill a soul, it’s terrifying. After you fight more, you will become more and more proficient.
As long as these professional players are not hopelessly lazy, by the time the Glory rematch comes, they will basically be able to easily defeat these wild monsters.
"Does that mean there is a bigger problem?" Han Yong keenly noticed the implication in Pei Yunteng's words.
"Well, I thought this new version would be stiff, but I didn't expect it to be so stiff." Pei Yunteng sighed.
How does Pei Yunteng evaluate the peak duel mode of Glory?
To put it simply, it is a hodgepodge of things that was created by copying the core ideas of Tencent's e-sports games with Honor's existing resources and mixing them with the designer's extremely strong personal style.
The core idea is to integrate the original process of beating bosses and brushing equipment into a game of Glory, and add some randomness through the way bosses drop items.
Then after the team has completed their equipment, they will have the final battle.
During this period, in order to add some diversity to the game and combat, many designers also added a lot of creative ideas.
For example, some building materials that can change the terrain to a certain extent, or a poison circle to prevent the two sides from fighting for too long...
"It sounds... quite exciting?" Han Yong was a little confused.
As a low-level player, he found Pei Yunteng's description quite interesting and wanted to play it.
"Yes, it's a great idea, but it's not suitable for Honor, and even less suitable for e-sports." Pei Yunteng breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not deny that by taking out the mechanisms of Showdown and breaking them down, several historic hit games could be produced.
But if you stuff them all into the framework of Glory, it becomes a huge hodgepodge.
In short, it is stitching, but it is not clear at all.
"Is it that serious?" Han Yong scratched his head.
"You'll know when the update goes online in a while." Pei Yunteng smiled.
"You mean just ignore it?" Han Yong could probably tell that the new version of Honor of Kings would not be able to pose any threat.
"No, on the contrary, we need to promote it vigorously. Tenghai will make every effort to seek cooperation with the Glory Professional League in the new season." Pei Yunteng shook his head.
Although the mechanisms of today's Honor of Kings are very complicated and chaotic, one can vaguely see the prototypes of some of the popular games in the past.
Promote it and let its mechanism become popular, which will also pave the way for Tencent Hai's new games in the future.
"By the way, my name, Teng Hai, also has the character Teng in it."
"It's not too much to do some of Tencent's dirty tricks..."
Second update, because writing the report has been delayed until now, I'm so depressed
Last time, many people questioned it, saying that the game was a bit outrageous, and it was true.
After all, this isn't a game made by Lao Pei...
However, the reason for doing this is not only the author's slight resentment, but also some plot ideas.
I will finish writing this part in the next few days...
good night.
