Chapter 265 How Is This Different From the Strategy?
More than 120 active players are already considered a lot. If the inactive players in the guild are counted, there are already 400 to 500 people. This can be regarded as one of the top ten or even top five guilds in the entire server.
The upper limit of the number of guild members is 999. As for the number of server members, the peak number of online people on a single server of "Shadow World" is 8,000. However, there will be a dynamic plane mechanism between different servers, and the data between servers can be interoperable.
Among them, there are various races and camps.
The camp setting of "Shadow World" is different from other MMORPG games. Guilds can form people across camps. Therefore, although Lecturer Ding belongs to the demon camp, he has also added a lot of humans and orcs to the guild.
At present, the top guilds in the server have begun to prepare for the group book, and Lecturer Ding's brotherhood has also begun to prepare.
Although the official did not directly say how many group books there are in this game, considering that most of these group books have pre-tasks or door-opening tasks, the players will soon figure it out after some exploration.
In the current version capped at level 60, Shadow World has three group dungeons, namely "Lava Pass", "Snow Mountain Summit" and "Bone Burial Ground".
However, the only one that players can really challenge is "Lava Pass", because each group dungeon has a pre-requisite five-person dungeon, and the strength of the group dungeon can be roughly determined by the strength of the five-person dungeon.
The pre-requisite five-person dungeon of "Lava Pass" can be challenged normally; the five-person dungeon of "Snow Mountain Summit" can barely kill the monsters, but the boss cannot be beaten; and the pre-requisite five-person dungeon of "Bone Burial Ground" is even difficult to kill the monsters.
After reaching the maximum level, Instructor Ding began to let these members of the guild form teams freely to brush the pre-requisite five-person dungeon of "Lava Pass" to upgrade equipment, obtain fire-resistant equipment and materials, and also to assess everyone's daily attendance and organize fixed teams to prepare for land reclamation.
And with his full level, the No. 1 group in the guild can finally start trying to enter "Lava Pass" to challenge.
"Come on, I'm at the maximum level. I'll go to the five-man dungeon to get the fire resistance equipment in the speed group. We'll start the Lava Pass on time at 8 o'clock!"
As a big anchor and guild leader, Ding Lecturer certainly has some special treatment when playing games.
At present, there are more than 20 players in the guild who have reached the maximum level two or three days earlier than him. Lecturer Ding carefully selected 19 people from them to form the main force of the guild.
The team dungeons in "Shadow World" are all dynamic difficulty. The minimum number of people can challenge is 10, and the maximum number can be increased to 25, with a dynamic difficulty ladder for every 5 people.
Under different dynamic difficulties, the boss's health and damage will change accordingly, but the health will increase more and the damage will increase less. The drops will change, but not much.
In general, if you want everyone to get the most drops, a 10-person group is definitely the best choice. But a 10-person group means a relatively low tolerance rate.
The more people there are, the higher the tolerance rate, but the corresponding drops for each person will also decrease.
But in general, under the dynamic balance mechanism, this difference is not too obvious.
Instructor Ding formed a 20-person team, which was obviously a decision made after considering the dynamic difficulty mechanism in the game as much as possible.
The other 19 people in the group had completed the pre-dungeon development work in advance, and the fire resistance equipment was almost complete, and the pre-dungeon could be passed stably.
At this time, the four skilled workers led Instructor Ding through the pre-dungeon and got the fire resistance equipment, so they could naturally start the group.
"OK, brothers, I announce that the first guild activity of the Brotherhood has begun!
"Everyone can pay attention to my live broadcast room and experience the whole process!
"You can join me, brothers, those who have completed the door task can run the dungeon to pull people.
"Please pull, please pull!"
While organizing people to run the dungeon, Instructor Ding boasted to the audience in the live broadcast room about his learning experience in the past few days.
"In the past two days, I have also watched the development video of the current largest guild "Dawn". In general, the difficulty of Lava Pass as the first team dungeon is acceptable. They spent three days exploring the land, defeated five bosses, and got stuck at the sixth boss.
“I looked at it and found that at least the first three bosses have relatively simple mechanisms. If we work hard today, we should be able to defeat the first boss and even get familiar with the second boss’s fighting style.
“So everyone should have confidence and don’t be afraid of difficulties. Just do it! ”
Although Shadow World is a new game, there are no ready-made strategies or plug-ins on the Internet, but the pioneering ability of hardcore players should not be underestimated. They soon figured out many ways to beat bosses and selflessly shared them online.
Although the high difficulty of Shadow World has discouraged a large number of players, the players who stayed are indeed all masochists and elite players.
Soon, the main force of the Brotherhood set off in a mighty manner!
They came to the main city closest to the lava pass, and used the flight point to fly to the camp near the lava pass, and finally rode on their mounts and headed towards the pass.
The whole process was magnificent, coupled with a unified guild name, not to mention, there was really a special sense of epic.
Crossing the dungeon entrance and clearing the terrible flame dragon monsters, everyone soon came to the room of the No. 1 boss.
Instructor Ding did not forget to liven up the atmosphere.
"Oh, is this all the monsters in the dungeon? It's nothing!
"Brothers, think about the earliest MMORPGs, when the monsters at the entrance could wipe out the team for a week!"
Old players know that what Instructor Ding said is true. At that time, some of the team wiped out because of attribute differences, and some were simply due to game mechanisms.
For example, some mechanisms are that a bunch of monsters must be killed at the same time. As long as the time difference between killing is too large, the first to die will be resurrected.
At that time, the players did not know this mechanism, and they were stuck for a week and did not kill these monsters. This kind of thing was quite normal twenty years ago.
In comparison, the difficulty of the group copy of "Shadow World" is not so outrageous.
Arriving at the No. 1 boss room, Instructor Ding began to show his understanding impatiently.
"Well, according to the previous opening video of the "Dawn" guild, this first boss is a DPS detector, but generally speaking, it is not particularly difficult.
"In the plot, it is a kind dragon imprisoned by corruption, and we must kill it as quickly as possible. If it is not killed after 4 minutes, it will directly enter a frenzy state and cause the team to be wiped out.
"During the battle, monsters will spawn in the field, and after killing the monsters, an energy field will appear. Entering the energy field at this time can greatly increase your DPS. At that time, everyone will move according to the situation..."
Instructor Ding began to talk nonstop.
However, as he was talking, someone in the voice software asked weakly: "Wait, instructor, are you sure this is a dragon? Isn't this a person?
"Or will he turn into a dragon after the fight?"
Instructor Ding was stunned for a moment. At this time, he looked up at the high place in the boss room and found that it was true. There was no giant dragon in the empty hall. There was only an ordinary NPC who looked like a human standing there.
"Huh? Isn't that right? "
Instructor Ding almost thought that his memory was wrong. He cut out the desktop and reopened the pioneering video he had watched before.
That's right!
In the pioneering video of the "Dawn" guild, in the open space of the first boss room, there was a huge dragon, even occupying one-third of the entire room.
And this dragon did not become like this in the middle, but was so big at the beginning.
Instructor Ding was very puzzled and changed to another guild's pioneering video.
It's the same!
There is a dragon in the room, not a humanoid NPC.
Instructor Ding also wanted Look for it again, but the game has not been launched for a long time. Considering the leveling speed of most players, there are not many guilds that can really open the group and upload videos, so there is no way to verify it.
He searched for relevant information on the Internet, but couldn't find out anything.
Apparently, it seems that no other guilds have encountered similar situations, or they have not posted them online after encountering them.
Lecturer Ding was a little speechless. What should he do?
He had made full preparations, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Now even if he wanted to prepare, it was too late.
"Forget it, let's fight first! Start the monsters!"
Lecturer Ding gave an order, and the leading main tank stepped forward to talk to the NPC.
"Haha, very good, another group of poor people who strayed into the abyss, so let the game begin!"
The NPC shouted a line with domineering power and then teleported away, and a large number of monsters instantly swarmed on both sides of the hall.
Lecturer Ding was shocked. This was completely different from what was said in the strategy!
