Chapter 349: Still a Historical Issue!
In Wei Chengjie's imagination, Mr. Gu was probably waving a feather fan, chatting and laughing, and everything was under control.
But in fact, Gu Fan's villa was in chaos.
Lilith was so angry that she went crazy in the living room. She walked around angrily and ate potato chips to calm herself down.
Gu Fan huddled in the corner of the sofa, silently using a laptop to look up the underlying code of the game to find out the cause of the bug.
Obviously, the problems in the two games this time were a heavy blow to Lilith!
Wasn't the situation originally very good?
The rating of "Endless Fantasy Legend" has stabilized, so it should be safe, right?
The new version of "Shadow World" was criticized crazily, and the negative emotions contributed by the players who quit the game were endless.
But in the blink of an eye, these two games had a moth again. Many players who quit the game returned one after another. Not only did they no longer contribute negative emotions, but they also generated a lot of positive emotions!
This was completely unacceptable to Lilith!
At this moment, she was eager to know what exactly caused this bug?
If Gu Fan couldn't give her a reasonable enough explanation, she had already made up her mind to get angry!
"Boss Li, I probably... found out."
Seeing Gu Fan looking up, Lilith immediately stepped forward quickly, with her hands on her waist, trying to put on a condescending attitude to Gu Fan who was sitting on the sofa: "Hurry up! What's going on! Let's start with the "Breaking the Oath" talent!"
Obviously, the collapse of the new version of "Shadow World" is due to the "Breaking the Oath" talent.
If it weren't for this talent that converted elemental damage into arcane damage, then players would not be able to increase other damage through arcane conversion. All the outrageous plots afterwards would not have happened.
What's more, this "Breaking the Oath" sounds suspicious. It is obviously the mutual conversion of light and dark spells. How can it be related to elements and arcane?
I'm afraid someone is playing tricks!
However, Gu Fan was very frank. He turned the laptop around and showed Lilith a few lines of code on the screen.
"Boss Li, strictly speaking... this should be considered a historical problem, a scrapped design in the original version of this game."
Lilith was stunned for a moment: "Scrapped, scrapped design?"
She certainly understood the so-called scrapped design, which was nothing more than some designs that were originally intended but not completed.
There will be scrapped designs in any game, after all, there are almost no games in the world that can be completed 100% according to the original design plan.
Lilith looked at the computer screen doubtfully, but these codes looked like heavenly books, and she didn't understand them at all.
Only when Gu Fan explained almost word by word could Lilith roughly match them.
"Boss Li, look, in the design of the original game, that is, "Demon World Dispute", it was originally hoped that players could freely choose talents and skills to create the BD they wanted.
"So, in order to further enrich the gameplay of the game, the talent of "Breaking the Oath" was designed.
"In the design of the original game, many attributes in this game are opposite, and they are the two sides of the coin.
"For example, light and dark, elements and arcane, physics and spells, and so on. "
Lilith frowned: "Wait a minute! I understand that light and darkness are opposites, so why are elements and arcane also opposites!"
Gu Fan explained: "This... According to their original setting, elemental power is obtained in the process of communicating with nature, just like shamans and druids, they can have a certain physical quality, as long as they have strong faith, they can gain power; while arcane power relies on their own wisdom, there is an essential difference between the two.
"So, when a wise man who communicates with nature gives up communicating with nature and turns to seek his own wisdom, he will gain arcane power.
"According to the original design, the talent of "Breaking the Oath" has many different conversion methods, which is also to provide players with more choices and more possibilities.
"But due to the lack of ability of the production team, they later abandoned this fancy plan and only retained the most basic one: the mutual conversion of light and dark spells.
"Then this talent was changed to a priest's exclusive talent, and a professional task was tailored.
"But...they didn't change the already written underlying code.
"After all, under normal circumstances, only priests can choose this talent, and priests only have three skills: light, discipline and darkness, and it is impossible to choose elemental and arcane damage."
Lilith was stunned: "In other words, this bug already existed as early as version 60?"
Gu Fan nodded: "Yes.
"The reason why players in version 60 didn't find it was mainly because the elemental damage in that version was normal, not too high or too low, and players didn't think of converting it into other damage. Moreover, after players in version 60 unlocked all professions, almost no one played arcane magic anymore, so no one had any crooked ideas about the glyph of "Arcane Conversion".
"But in version 70, the elemental damage was raised too much, and players made too many attempts around elemental damage, and this bug was dug out..."
Lilith still had a face full of disbelief, but her reason told her that what Gu Fan said was probably true.
Because this thing can't be faked.
The 60 version of "Shadow World" is still operating normally, and the code has not been touched. The original version of "Clash of the Devils" is still there.
Lilith only needs to find someone to check it, and she will know whether this bug is a historical issue as Gu Fan said.
Since Gu Fan dares to say this, he is probably already confident.
"Damn it!"
Lilith was very angry. This half-finished "Disputes in the Demon Realm" had caused so much trouble for her!
The inexplicable all-professional gameplay before was due to the historical issues left over from "Strife in the Demon Realm", and now "Breaking the Oath" is due to the historical issues left over!
How big of a piece of pie did the producers of "The World of War" draw?
It's okay if you haven't finished eating the cake. Can you please stop throwing the sesame seeds left over from eating the cake? It’s very troublesome to clean!
But Lilith obviously didn’t want to be blamed for the historical issues. She still said unreasonably and confidently: “Okay, I know there are historical issues here, but don’t others have a little bit of responsibility?” !"
Obviously, this "other person" is very inclined to refer to Gu Fan specifically.
Gu Fan looked confused, like a programmer who didn't understand the world at all: "Mr. Li, what do you mean specifically?"
Lilith was so angry: "Then please explain what the glyph of Arcane Transformation is about? And why are there so many elemental damage-increasing equipment?"
