Chapter 1055 After 11 months of operation, we have successfully degraded from an open world to a linear narrative (sad）
“Bang bang”
A knock on the door at dawn interrupted Murphy who was working at his desk. He looked up from the mountains of books on his desk and saw Tris walking into the room with a cup of coffee..
She wore the Heart of Blood around her neck, letting the scattered light linger on her chest, giving Tris' already generous and wealthy body a different kind of "holiness", and her posture was quite gentle. The virtuous feeling of his wife coming to visit her husband who stayed up late at work also brought a softness to Murphy's eyes. However, before Murphy could show a happy smile, he saw Tris sitting on the sofa and picking up the fragrant aroma. The overflowing coffee was brought to her mouth and she took a sip.
This made Murphy's expression completely collapse..
Okay.
I thought this was prepared for him, but it seems like I was overthinking it..
“Why did you drink coffee? Is it the Duke of Blood Vulture who has been addicted to alcohol all day and finally succeeded in emptying his wine cellar?？”
Murphy immediately said with a straight face：
“Don't pretend to be pitiful for me. With Transia's ongoing financial constraints and operations that are repeatedly on the verge of bankruptcy, as the governor, I can't spare a few pennies from my pocket, so I can't buy anything for you. liquor.”
“I still need you to find a way to get me some wine? What do you think of my dignified Duke of Blood Vulture?？”
Tris curled her lips disdainfully and said：
“I randomly send out a few favorability tasks, but I can’t get any good wine I want? If I take out a few items from the treasure chest of Salokdar as rewards, my powerful little players may be able to cross the gray desert to the ancient kingdom of Kalum and help me snatch the wine from the Dragon Emperor's royal cellar..
It's just not necessary. Their value should be used in more reasonable and important situations..”
“Oh, now you are a stupid little player when you speak or speak..”
Murphy snorted and continued to revise his copy without looking up.：
“If this spreads out, others will think you are the administrator. Unfortunately, as an important member of the development team, I have not seen you make any efforts for the upcoming version 0. Fortunately, I don’t have to pay you, otherwise I have really dissolved the company now, and I feel like disbanding on the same spot.
Um？”
Before he could finish his sour complaint, a cold wine glass was placed in his hand..
The vampire raised his head and saw Tris placing the scarlet-like blood drink on the table, and magically took out a fresh lemon and placed it on the corner of the cup..
It turned out that this was the energy drink I just gave him for working at night..
“Why did you just put one piece in? When the players saw it, they thought I couldn’t afford it. Put a few more slices. I like the ones with a stronger lemon flavor..”
Murphy leaned on the chair and chirped at the bartender like a customer ordering a cocktail, which immediately put a murderous look on Tris's pretty face, but then she shrugged, and when she opened her left hand and closed it casually, There was an extra lemon in my hand, and I gathered my spiritual energy and turned it into a small blade. I cut a few slices on the spot and inserted them into the corner of the cup..
Only then did Murphy nod with satisfaction..
As soon as he picked up the drink, he heard Tris say in a conspiratorial tone.：
“You are really capable. If you have the guts, just drink.”
“whispering sound”
Murphy sneered, opened his mouth and fucked a third of it, then made a cheerful sound, turned to look at Tris, and said：
“If it's really poisonous, you still have about ten seconds to save your little cutie, or we can take advantage of this last moment to say something.”
“Bang”
A stack of compiled manuscripts was slapped on the table by Tris. She glanced at Murphy and said businesslikely.：
“All the information you asked me to prepare is here. It turns out that you are not the only dog planner in the development team who cares about official business..
Where you can't see it, Professor Malcolm has almost edited a set of "Encyclopedia of Alien Worlds: Race and Civilization" for the forum, and Maxim and Adele are working hard as administrators. , dare not relax for a moment.
Little Sharon has been learning alien knowledge on the forum and compiled it into our local teaching content. The only eldest lady who is dawdling also manages the forum's image database very well. My suggestion is that you'd better take the time to Let's all take a vacation or something..
Otherwise, we will have to find a way to report you to Alpha Company's Human Resources Department for exploiting employees..”
“Have a holiday? These are the two words that capitalists hate most, second only to salary increase..”
Murphy picked up the copy that Tris brought and flipped through it. After a few minutes, he nodded and said：
“Very good. It covers 47 medium- and long-term exploratory side missions and special gameplay related to treasure hunting. It also comes with a part of the analysis of the humanities and customs of the Songhai Empire. People who have not lived there can't write it..
Especially the side missions in the Port of Origin, the Holy City of the Moon and the Ptolemaic City are very sophisticated and I appreciate them very much..
I knew it would be absolutely fine to leave these things to you！
This thing is enough to support part of the introductory game content. With these tasks as a guide, it is enough for players to expand their activity trajectories to most of the Songhai Empire. I will hand these things over to Penny soon..
As the guiding NPC of this DLC, she must be proficient in remembering these contents, but this is not a problem for the mechanical mind..
Come and take a look at this, I just made it.”
Murphy picked up a copy of the copy he had compiled on his desk and handed it to Tris. The latter took one look at it and her expression became strange..
“What's this? Official guidance for newcomers? I remember there was no such thing before.”
Tris said curiously：
“According to our experience, if we drop the players anywhere and give them some main line guidance, they will find a way to trigger the clues and proceed step by step. All we have to do is to track their movements and find the right path at the right time. Give prompts at time nodes or spatial orientations.
In your words, a standard open world exploration mode, everything is unknown and exciting..”
“There is nothing wrong with the original model, I just think we can adopt a more effective training method. After all, after this new wave of newcomers enter, the player base will exceed 10,000, and we can no longer just copy small and sophisticated game modes..
We must rationally utilize the resources at hand to shape warriors in batches.”
Murphy explained while holding a glass of wine.：
“For example, in the pure rookie stage before the Black Iron level, you hang around the Crimson Castle, and most often go to Smuggler's Woods and the Cadman River to hunt fishermen. After completing the Black Iron Trial, you go to Cadman City to help residents clean up the remaining residue in the city. astral creatures, and purify those supernatural phenomena that have not subsided to this day..
The next upgrade area is in the underground palace of Baphomet, where the situation is becoming increasingly weird. Help the members of the Midnight Faction there to suppress the violent and dangerous goatman cultists, and unlock the potential through continuous fighting..
The last upgraded area is the Brass Ruins that will be officially opened in the next DLC. The situation there is more dangerous and complex, but the benefits are higher..
I can't let a bunch of black iron newbies go there and kill other forces..
Just like a linear level, Tris, after challenging an area and getting full rewards, you can go to the next area..
According to the results of the questionnaire conducted by Maxim on the forum a few days ago, we must admit that although there are a lot of plot parties, as the total number of players continues to increase, this linear mode can satisfy most ordinary people. Player needs for power and gains.
The most common shortcoming in the questionnaire results is that although the current game has a lot of content, it lacks effective guidance.
And when a player can fight his way out of the brass ruins with rich loot and return fully loaded, he will definitely be qualified to become a member of the backbone that Transia needs most at the moment..
That kind of player has strength, skill, will, equipment accumulation, and a clear goal of his own..
As long as you give them a clear main line, they will run all the way in that direction.
