Chapter 295: The glory ends, a whale falls and everything comes to life

The outside world still does not know what cruel things Codick can do to Teng Hai and Pei Yunteng in his extreme anger.

But there is one thing that the outside world is very clear about.

That is the update of glory, which suddenly stagnated.

You know, in the period after the major update of Honor, the update speed is quite frequent, which is very different from the indifferent appearance of no update in the past three years.

Although there are helpless reasons behind this diligence.

After all, they are not the original development team and have no experience in developing competitive versions.

Under Kotick's urging, the Honor development team didn't even have time to make too many optimizations, and had to work overtime to release the new version just as MSi ended.

Since the new version was launched, feedback has been flying in like pieces of paper, ranging from serious bugs to details that disgust players.

This forced the production team to work overtime to modify their shitty code.

There is no need to say much about the changes in the gameplay rules, such as adjustable BOSS difficulty and the punishment switching flow.

Just the balance adjustments for different professions, something that has never been done in the more than ten years since the launch of Honor of Kings, have been carried out at a terrifying speed of almost twice a week during this period.

The "basic balance of professions" that Honor was once proud of is like a joke in the face of the new mechanism in the new version.

Countless front-line professional players such as knights, rogues, judokas, and other players of healing professions such as priests, almost every day they wish they could let the production team's horses fly into the sky.

If it were the previous Honor, relying on its absolute monopoly in the two fields of online games and e-sports, no matter how fierce the players made a fuss, they would just laugh it off.

After all, summoner is a profession with unlimited potential, but it has been stuck in the sewer of Glory for more than a decade, and the official has not been kind enough to adjust their values.

But times have changed. Now Honor has not only suffered a major defeat in the field of e-sports, but has almost lost its position in the field of online games.

It is true that Tenghai has not yet entered the MMORPG market, but games such as League of Legends are already big players in Internet cafes.

The current Honor does not have the capital to neglect its fans.

There is no other choice but for the production team to repeatedly modify the values ​​of each profession based on the most popular demands from players every day.

Because the workload of modifying the mechanism is really too heavy, we can only make adjustments to various values.

But as we all know, the biggest feature of balance adjustment is that it can never adjust the environment to balance.

Especially, the gameplay of Honor is far more than just the peak showdown.

Today, we strengthened the priest or knight based on the feedback from players in Peak Duel. Tomorrow, normal PVP players will follow suit, and we have no choice but to continue strengthening them.

After more than a month, the strength of each profession in Glory has almost increased compared to when the new version was first launched.

Uh...except the Summoner.

Because the player community is too small and their voice is not loud enough, their voices were not heard by the planners until recent days, and the decision to change the intensity of the changes was made.

According to rumors, the summoner enhancements will be announced and launched together with the major version changes made to address the low-viewing content of the game.

Summoner players rushed to tell each other and were as happy as if it were Chinese New Year. Even the well-known summoner player, Zhu Xiaoping, the current god of aircraft carriers in World of Warships, said that if summoners could be strengthened, he would definitely play Honor of Kings for a few days.

As a result... there was no follow-up.

Ever since Kotick's crash, although the Honor server is still in operation, no updates have been released.

Even after a bug occurred, routine version maintenance was stopped.

One day, two days, three days...

At the beginning, players were joking that balancing Summoner was so difficult that the official was helpless.

But as time goes by, anxiety gradually begins to spread among the player community.

Could it be that... Honor officials are really being bullied by us?
To be honest, the vast majority of the audience who participated in the charge did not actually have much expectation for the effectiveness of the charge.

The most optimistic scenario would be to force the official to hear their voices and make corresponding changes to the game content.

After all, history has proven countless times that players' enthusiasm is really not offensive to the vast majority of manufacturers.

Pretend to be dead for a while, then give out some compensation, and afterwards find some knowledgeable people in the blue high-end forums to clean up the mess, pass the blame on, and nothing happens.

Even though Kotick was charged with many extremely serious crimes this time, and almost touched the bottom line of players all over the world,

The best-case scenario they could expect is that Kotick himself leaves and the game is changed again.

Anyway, Honor is an old IP that has been popular for many years. Even if it pretends to be dead for a while, it will completely lose the qualifications to challenge Tencent, but at least it will not be completely finished.

The competitiveness is there.

But judging from the current situation, the situation seems to have been led in a direction that no one expected.

After players in countless countries and speaking different languages ​​waited anxiously for nearly a week, the release of a piece of gaming news ended the discussion about the current state of Honor.

The well-known Japanese game company Nintendo has released their next first-party masterpiece, a 2D Zelda-like game - "Echo of Wisdom".

(To be honest, this is the game I'm most looking forward to this year besides Black Monkey, no doubt about it.)
Although the current production progress of this thing is estimated to be at the level of just creating a new folder, it does not prevent Nintendo from warming up it with full confidence.

Nintendo’s release of a new game isn’t a big deal; the real highlight is the game’s cast.

Aonuma, the producer of Nintendo's Hell Legend game who was previously revealed to have participated in the production of the new version of Honor, is actually the game director and producer of this game.

Even the designers have returned to their hometowns to work on new projects. So is there any need to say more about the situation of the Honor production team?

It's probably finished.

After this news broke, the entire Honor gaming community exploded again.

Fans were shocked and helpless to find that this legendary game that had dominated the gaming industry for many years and was destined to have a separate biography in the history of gaming seemed to be really coming to the end of its life cycle.

For a time, a sad atmosphere lingered in the Honor divisions of major platforms, especially for the Summoner players, who felt as if they had lost their parents.

No... Even if you want to send it, can you give us some reinforcements first before sending it?

When will my summoner player be able to stand up?

The angry summoners went to the live broadcast room of Zhu Xiaoping, the strongest summoner player so far, to complain.

Only to find that their backbone had already leisurely boarded his beloved small aircraft carrier.

Watching Zhu Xiaoping chatting and laughing with the old viewers in the live broadcast room, he casually sent a four-fire meal to the opposite side with a monkey.
Accompanied by a large number of comments in the live broadcast room saying that Ke Fengshen is invincible, he happily gained 3,000 pure experience points in a single game amidst laughter and joy.

The confused summoner players seem to have found a path they had never imagined.

For a period of time thereafter, a large number of new monsters suddenly flooded into various servers of World of Warships.

They are precise in their operations, extremely quick in their reactions, and have strong psychological qualities.

After logging in, he seems to have no interest in the big ships and big guns that most players like to see. As soon as he reaches a certain level, he immediately switches to the aircraft carrier line.

Then, whether randomly or in ranking, a large number of accurate and powerful aircraft carriers emerged.

During that period, even the noble Harlan, who had full air defense, did not dare to type "noob CV F**K me" on the public screen...

The situation in World of Warships is just the tip of the iceberg of the chaos that has occurred since Glory was confirmed to be suspended.

The collapse began in a regular season game one day later.

The two teams in the match were Baihua, which had former Blue Rain runner-up team member and All-Star Berserker player Yu Feng, and Linhai, a nobody in the league whose only contribution was letting Zhao Yang go to Fanhua.

In the contest between these two teams, Baihua should have had an absolute advantage.

But the result was that Linhai won easily with 2:0, which surprised many fans who only read the battle report.

The reason why Baihua lost to Linhai 2:0 so easily is very simple:
They didn't even send out a single main player.

All the main players were declared to be on rest due to "special reasons", and all those who played were from the youth training camp.

Although Linhai no longer has Zhao Yang, it is not something that a few ordinary youth training players who have never played a game can challenge.

With Baihua taking the lead, the trend of main players taking a break spread quickly like a virus to all major clubs.

After the hundred flowers, there is the void, the howling, the tiny grass...

In less than a week, except for a few underdog clubs that had little presence in the first place, most of the teams retained their main lineups and rushed to the top of the standings.

There is not even a single familiar name on the list of players sent by any club with a bit of strength.

Either they are marginal players or they are from the youth training.

If only the main players were on hiatus, that would be fine.

After all, this can also be understood as a protest by major clubs against the official Honor, similar to the "no revision, no resumption" demonstration.

What really made fans completely despair about the future of Honor was that almost on the same night when the truce was announced, these professional players chose to start broadcasting at the same time.

Moreover, not a single one of them broadcasts glory.

Han Wenqing opened the League of Legends client for the first time in his live broadcast room. When the ID "Hu Tianguiyan" appeared on the screen, countless Tyranny fans and Ye Han CP fans were so excited that they almost fainted.

Although Han Wenqing announced at the LSPL that he would enter the LPL, the outside world actually had doubts about whether this veteran had the ability to compete in the LPL.

After all, for a 28-year-old Deng, learning a new game from scratch and then facing the baptism of the world's top league is not easy no matter how you look at it.

But now, Han Wenqing revealed that he is the most mysterious top lane king in the national server, Hu Tianguiyan.

So what are you worried about?
Just wait and see the battle between Ye and Han next year!

With Sun Xiang shouting and yelling, the Samsara team quickly formed a five-man team in the ladder, allowing the CSGO official matches, which had not yet formed a system, to feel in advance what the strength of the top professions was.

The domineering scene of Zhou Zekai instantly aiming and killing someone with a sniper rifle made fans who knew nothing about CSGO vaguely understand why Zhou Zekai completely ignored Bai Yanfei after firing a shot.

On the Thunder side, Xiao Shiqin had just logged in that night when he was caught in a series of life-threatening calls from Brother Sun.

(Although Brother Sun and Brother Huang were exposed in the Oil Cup a few days ago, there is nothing we can do. CN StarCraft cannot avoid these two guys. I hope everyone understands)

Brother Sun discovered a young man from Beijing named Li Shao and brought him into the Star Club run by Brother Sun.

At that time, Brother Sun planned to pay Li Shao a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan, but Li Shao misunderstood it as asking him to pay 2,500 yuan a month in tuition.

Lamenting that prices outside the capital were more affordable, Li Shao immediately transferred 2,500 yuan to Brother Sun.

Previously, with the help of Brother Sun and Brother Huang, Xiao Shiqin and Li Shao played a few games against each other, and both were shocked by the high level of performance of the other.

Xiao Shiqin almost went crazy during the time he was preparing for the Glory match because the Thunder really needed him to lead the team.

I finally waited for him to resume broadcasting StarCraft, and that night I fought with Xiao Shiqin for 300 rounds.

Then Xiao Shiqin captured Meng Huo seven times.

……

After making up their minds to give up Honor of Kings, former players of Honor of Kings went to their respective live broadcast rooms to play the games they believed in and firmly believed were their future prospects.

And just at this time, those die-hard fans of Honor of Kings, who used to quit as soon as they saw the players broadcast other things, flocked into their live broadcast rooms with unprecedented confusion and loss.

Many of them, who had their guard down to the lowest level, were unknowingly attracted by the games played by the other players.

Those who still have deep feelings for the game Honor at this time are basically old players who have played it for many years.

They regard everything in Honor of Kings as their second life. Just like the professional circle before being impacted by Tenghai, they have no idea about the development of games other than Honor of Kings.

After all, in their view, Honor, which possesses an unbreakable technological gap, is the most advanced representative in the gaming industry.

Until now, after more than a year of dying struggle, Glory is still inevitably heading towards decline.

Having freed themselves from the shackles that had restricted their vision, they suddenly discovered that the games out there had already shown a diversity of things that they had never experienced before.

So, these days, many Honor players, even long-time fans, have begun to step out of Honor and try out those popular games.

As we all know, Honor players may not have anything else, but in terms of technology alone, they are definitely the ceiling group among players.

Eyesight, reaction, hand speed, operation accuracy, mentality...

All the attributes required for video games can be exercised in Glory.

This is also one of the main reasons why the major clubs did not directly announce their withdrawal from the competition, but instead allowed their youth players to gain experience in the league.

When this group of players who have been well trained in Glory poured into other games, after the initial discomfort, they immediately set off a storm that swept across all major games.

It even indirectly triggered another wave of technological innovation among the players of these games.

As the saying goes, when a whale dies, all things come to life.

When Glory, the giant that has dominated the gaming world for many years, finally falls, all the creatures around it will receive unprecedented fertile nutrients.

This is probably the meaning of whale fall.

In this tide, there is a game that was just launched not long ago. It was not very popular at first, but it suddenly started to spread like a virus.

So much so that by the time people reacted, a behemoth in the online game field, whose popularity was almost comparable to that of League of Legends, had already grown up quietly.

The originator of the battle royale game in this world——

Eternal and endless.

　Here is the first update, there will be more later.

　　First of all, I wish all grandpas a happy Chinese Valentine's Day.

　　There should be two more chapters tonight, and I'll try to update three chapters starting tomorrow, depending on whether I've finished writing the short storyline or not.

　　Therefore, considering that the author is so hardworking and is still updating on Valentine's Day, it is not too much to ask for some monthly tickets or rewards.

　　I also thought about Qixi Festival...
