Chapter 34: Chapter 34 We are a serious company
Post body:
[I admit it! I was really naughty! But I can't blame it, I should blame the talent of "poison intuition". Anything with poison will glow green in my eyes, which is really driving my obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy! ]
What the hell?
Chu Guang was stunned at first, and then he was completely surprised.
"Can it be identified directly with the naked eye? Is it so awesome?"
But what is the judgment rule for "poison"? Is there a dosage limit? And what is the trigger mechanism of this talent?
I don't understand...
Chu Guang decided to put aside the things he couldn't figure out for the time being and continue reading.
The post continued.
[...According to the task assigned by the manager, I started by picking mushrooms and raspberries in the forest. Relying on the effect of the character's talent, I can basically identify poisonous berries and mushrooms, so the efficiency is quite high. I picked several plastic buckets back in a short while. ]
[I thought I had picked all the mushrooms near the sanatorium, so I wanted to walk further away to have a look. As I walked, I came to a place that looked like a parking lot. There were quite a lot of mushrooms there, and I picked quite a few. When I was about to go back, I suddenly saw a very tall and large concrete pipe, which looked a bit like the entrance to a sewer, with a large green light coming out of it! ]
[I didn't think too much at the time, and I thought there were so many mushrooms inside, so I might as well go in and take a look. Anyway, I can identify the poisonous ones, so I just don't touch them. ]
[Plus, there were no dangerous monsters around, so I walked over and stuck my head in to take a look... I swear, I really just took a look at that time! ]
[Then something terrifying happened! ]
[A piece of meat... I don't know what kind of meat it was, anyway, it hit me in the face. At that time, I couldn't breathe at all, and I couldn't open my eyes. Soon I couldn't even move. It felt like I was swallowed by something? ]
[In short, although I didn't feel any pain, the feeling was really terrible! Almost at the moment of losing consciousness, I suddenly woke up from reality. Everything that happened just now was like a nightmare. ]
[At first I thought I was offline, so I quickly put on my helmet to reconnect, and then I saw the words "Connection interrupted" written on the helmet, and then it changed to "Restricted login". No matter how I tried, I couldn't log in. ]
Awesome!
It's really a free gift...
After reading the post, Chu Guangren was stunned.
This player is really brave. He seriously used his face to explore the bushes. He would definitely not dare to do such a thing.
The netizens under the post were also quite unfriendly.
Some people have already obtained the closed beta qualification and are completely watching the fun, but more are netizens who can't make an appointment no matter what, and they have condemned this shameful waste.
You know, the resurrection CD is at least three days!
This is equivalent to wasting three days of game time!
What else can you do with this time?
Ye Shi: [It's okay to lose your head, headless senior sister? (funny)]
Quit smoking: [Fuck?! That's it? That's it? If you really can't play well, please donate your game qualification to someone who needs it! Damn! T.T]
Debt eyes: [You are really cheap, isn't this a free gift? Why don't you let me do it!]
Irena: [Keep updating! Tell me in detail how it feels when you are eaten? (funny)]
All the good names are taken by dogs: [You said that and I'm thinking about it wrongly, brother, let me talk for a moment. (funny)]
The post probably started to go wrong from here.
It was originally a good post for help, but no one cared whether her problem was solved.
In the end, maybe because the official ignored her and the netizens were too stinky, the post slowly turned into a debate between the host and the netizens, and she was furious and arguing with the netizens.
This little player's mouth is also poisonous enough, and it is obvious that he is an old troll.
Chu Guang couldn't stand it anymore, locked her post, and sent a private message to her in the background.
"Hello, I'm the game planner of Wasteland OL. We have received your feedback. According to the death penalty set by the game, it takes 72 hours to resurrect. Please wait patiently for the resurrection CD to end, and then you can log in to the game again."
Ya Ya: "Ah? I have to wait for three days... Can it be changed to one day? I can recharge, you tell me how much."
Chu Guang: "This is not a matter of money."
Ya Ya: "Can't you make some concessions? Please, planner brother, I really didn't mean it, just help me. By the way, what is your Penguin account? Can I add it? It's troublesome to type here, let's chat on Penguin. (Poor)"
Chu Guang: "Rules are rules, I can't help you with this."
Ya Ya: "Really can't you make some concessions? (Poor)"
Chu Guang was indifferent and continued to type.
"I haven't finished what I said yet. In addition to the resurrection CD, the first death in the game will also deduct 500 contribution points from the player."
Ya Ya: "Contribution points will also be deducted? But, but I don't have that many..."
Chu Guang: "The trouble is here. Currently, you only have 30 contribution points, which come from collection tasks. These contribution points are not enough to pay the death penalty."
Ya Ya: "What if it's not enough? (Nervous)"
Chu Guang: "The current setting will affect the NPC's evaluation of the player, in other words, it will reduce the favorability."
Ya Ya: "Loss of favorability?! Don't! QAQ"
Are you scared now?
What were you doing before?
"Obviously you don't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. Imagine that the role you play is responsible for saving civilization. However, as a human elite who went to the surface to support construction, you not only did not create any value, but also caused so much trouble to everyone. Don't you feel guilty at all?"
I didn't even earn 500 free coins, but I wasted a large can of active substances.
How shameful!
Ya Ya: "But, but this is a game..."
"Yes, it is a game, but it is not a game for you alone," Chu Guang typed righteously, "You should have played a script-killing game."
Ya Ya: "Play, play..."
Chu Guang: "This is equivalent to a 30-person dungeon, 29 people are playing seriously, but there is one person playing blindly, and he is holding an identity card. You should know how bad this behavior is to other players."
In fact, it's not that exaggerated. It's just a newbie. If he dies, he dies. But Chu Guang feels that if he doesn't react at all, these players will not remember it.
Must be educated!
But maybe he said it too harshly, this little player is too thin-skinned, or maybe he was really cheated when playing script-killing games in real life.
Yaya, sitting in front of the computer, was almost crying after being told so much, and she typed desperately to apologize.
"I'm sorry, I'm wrong! It's my fault! QAQ"
A series of messages flashed in the chat window, and Chu Guang, who was about to continue typing, felt a little embarrassed.
Why do I feel like I'm doing PUA.
Forget it...
It doesn't matter.
Chu Guang: "You don't have to apologize to me. I just want to explain the game's penalty mechanism and why it is set up like this. You can tell other players about it in your post later, and I will unlock the post."
Chu Guang: "In addition, I have to emphasize again that Wasteland OL is positioned as a hardcore game. At least in the early stages of the game, there won't be too many casual elements, and this is also what we decided when designing the entire game framework. If you really can't accept the setting, I suggest you change the game, or wait for the public beta version to be launched and play it with rich content."
Ya Ya: "No, I want to play! I'm going to die without a helmet! QAQ"
Ya Ya: "Well, planner brother, I have no objection to the death penalty, how can I recover the lost favorability? Is it useful to admit your mistakes after resurrection? QAQ"
Chu Guang: "Maybe it's useful, but it doesn't make much sense. The manager's AI personality and behavior logic are set to be neutral and lawful, and his evaluation is mainly determined by whether the player's behavior is in line with the overall interests of the shelter. So if you want to make up for it, let him see your hard work, don't do those mindless things."
Yaya: "I see, then... can I make a small suggestion?"
Chu Guang: "Go ahead."
Yaya: "Can you give some krypton gold gifts in the future? The kind that can increase favorability. I see other games have them, such as Big Nosed Mole Manor... I can buy them with money!"
Chu Guang typed with a frown on his face.
"My friend, don't always think about using money to solve the problem. We are a serious company!"
The person is gone, what's the use of his money.
Can he burn it to spend?
Yaya, who was sitting in front of the computer, was stunned, his hands stopped on the keyboard, and his mind didn't turn around for a while.
A serious company...
Isn't it just a scam?
Those who don't want money are not serious...
After closing the webpage, Chu Guang put the matter of this little player aside for the time being, and then logged into his own Penguin account.
Interestingly, the Niuma Club group was discussing the post on the official website.
It seems that everyone is still very concerned about the death penalty in the game.
Spare someone under the knife: [I have played it, to be honest, this game is really awesome, I take back what I said before, I am convinced! ]
Ye Aonaiwohe: [Fuck, you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also been bribed by the dog management? ? ? ]
("Ye Aonaiwohe" was banned by the administrator for 1 hour.)
Ye Shi: [Dog barking again? ]
Lao Bai: [No bullshit, have you seen the post on the official website? It's the person who died today. ]
Ye Shi: [I saw it, the ID is Ya Ya, the one with long legs and a height of 180! The group owner should find a way to add him to the group. (Funny)]
Lao Bai: [Get lost, go by yourself. ]
Fang Chang: [After reading the post, I summarized three points: 1. Losing consciousness and death in the game will cause the connection to be forced disconnected. 2. The excessive pain has indeed been removed, which is the same as what I tested before. I have to say that the game officials are very smart! It doesn't feel unreal at all. If it hurts too much, I'll quit. Now it's just right! But I still say that it would be nice if I could adjust it myself. (grin)]
Night Ten: [One more thing? ? ]
Kuangfeng: [Let me add that, if you don't commit suicide, you won't die. ]
Fang Chang: [Correct answer. ]
Quit Smoking: [I vomited. Why can't I make an appointment? I really want to play! T.T]
Lao Bai: [Uh, why don't you ask Brother Guang to play with you? ]
Quit Smoking: [I asked him, but he asked me to wait. T.T]
Night Ten: [My condolences. ]
Lao Bai: [Huh? Not really, did you secretly black him? This guy does hold a grudge. I saw that he is a Scorpio. ]
Quit Smoking: [No way, how dare I black him! I am Brother Guang's most loyal lick dog, okay! ! ! T.T]
Lao Bai: [That's strange. I'll ask for you another day. ]
Fang Chang: [By the way, has the garbage picker level 99 been launched? ]
Ye Shi: [I don't know. Can I tag you? ]
Lao Bai: [@Garbage Picker Level 99. ]
Garbage Picker Level 99: [Ahem, what's up? I'm in the group. ]
A spam group is not as interesting as peeking.
Besides, it's a group of familiar people, and it's hard for him, a newbie who has just joined the group for a few days, to get in the conversation.
Fang Chang: [I see your character is a lizard man. How do you feel when you take off your helmet and return to reality? For example, what's the incongruity? ]
Chu Guang, who was also peeking at the screen, also became interested when he saw this.
He was also very curious about what it felt like to be a lizard man in the game.
Especially without a small tail and with a big tail, he didn't know if he would get used to it.
Garbage Picker Level 99: [Uh... it seems not? It feels pretty good. I have strong athletic ability and quick reaction in the game. There is nothing wrong after I exit the game. However, there is one thing that I am not used to. I always want to eat raw meat in the game. I feel hot all over when I see blood, but it is fine after I take off the helmet. It is very magical. ]
Fang Chang: [Gan! Why can't I choose a female character even if I choose a non-human character! ]
Kuangfeng: [Ahem, be rational, brother. ]
Lao Bai: [You make me a little scared. ]
Fang Chang: [Get out! I just want to try what it feels like. I am just curious. You know. ]
Ye Shi: [No, no, no, we don't understand. ]
Kuangfeng: [Speaking of which, Ye Shi also picks up garbage. When you two went out hunting with the manager today, did you encounter predators? ]
Garbage Picker Level 99: [Yes! There are two predators and a domesticated mutant hyena. They were executing a scavenger at the time. When we found him, the man had been killed by the plot! Then we killed the two looters and took their equipment. ]
Fang Chang: [Taming? It turns out that alien species can be tamed. I wonder if players can keep pets in the future... I guess this should be the official foreshadowing. (Touching his chin)]
Kuangfeng: [Did you kill the NPC? ]
Garbage Picker Level 99: [Well, the manager ordered the attack... It shouldn't be considered a violation of the regulations in the Residents' Handbook, right? I later looked it up and found that it only stipulates that neutral and friendly NPCs are prohibited from being attacked. ]
Ye Shi: [Well, I think those should be wild monsters that are spawned, not NPCs, right? But the bleeding effect is... It's really realistic, I almost thought someone was really dead. ]
When he saw this, Chu Guang fell into deep thought.
He had previously speculated whether the world that players see is filtered, and now it seems that this is really possible.
However, this filter is not necessarily the kind of filter in the beauty camera, but more likely a kind of conceptual blurring.
Just like the way this device handles pain.
Pain beyond the limit will be blocked by the player's brain, and sensory impact beyond the tolerance range should also be processed with corresponding "emotional blunting".
Otherwise, the brain's "fuse mechanism" will be triggered, and the player will be awakened directly from the "nightmare", and the connection will be interrupted?
Obviously, these details have been considered by the designer of this device.
After analyzing this, Chu Guang suddenly felt a little envious.
When he first came to the wasteland, it took him a long time to overcome these psychological barriers.
Kuangfeng: [Do they speak Mandarin? ]
Garbage Picker Level 99: [The words they speak are very strange, the pronunciation is a bit like Chinese but not, I can't understand it anyway, it should be randomly generated by the program. ]
When depicting alien planets or different worlds, many film and television works or games will have similar settings, creating a "foreign language" by disrupting the normal sound sequence of a paragraph, and some are simply made up.
For example, the little man who hums and hums in The Sims.
From the perspective of level 99, Wasteland OL should also adopt a similar design.
In this regard alone, this game is quite realistic.
Fang Chang: [Well, the arrangement of this plot is actually quite interesting. I feel that it is to remind us of the hidden crisis in this wasteland. Just like the mutant tribe we explored before, the purpose should be to create a sense of crisis. ]
Ye Shi: [Uh, isn't it a randomly generated plot? ]
Fang Chang: [Everything you see is a designed program. There is no real randomness. ]
Lao Bai: [I think what Fang Chang said makes sense. It just happened on the day when the new player went online... It feels a bit deliberate. ]
Fang Chang: [It can only be regarded as a guess! I think this plot can be understood as that as the scale of the outpost expands and the overall strength of the players increases, the conflicts between the players and other forces and alien species in the wasteland will gradually intensify. Fighting for survival resources and space may be the main theme of the next stage of the game. ]
Fang Chang: [We can actually start preparing for war now! I estimate that if it is fast, the Winter is Coming expansion will end, and the next expansion will be the Stronghold Conflict. ]
Kuangfeng: [Awesome...]
Garbage Picker Level 99: [6666, this analysis is good. ]
Ye Shi: [Awesome, this wave of Fang Chang is in the atmosphere! ]
Quit Smoking: [Fuck! I really want to play! T.T]
Then the group members began to exchange skills in traditional steelmaking and making gunpowder, and Chu Guang in front of the screen was stunned.
Good guy, this brother has considered everything for me, the planner, even if I didn't consider it.
What a talent!
Chu Guang sighed in his heart, and copied and pasted the content of the brother's analysis to save it in the document.
You are all right.
You are all old knowers.
If anyone asked about it in the future, Chu Guang decided to just explain it this way.
