Chapter 120 Alpha0.61 Version! Major Adjustments to the Dungeon Gameplay! (1/2)

On the way back from the abandoned department store, the four members of the Niu Ma team felt that the wind blowing in their faces was sweet.

The sun was setting.

When Fang Chang and his group appeared at the north gate of the outpost with a full cart of supplies, almost all the players' eyes bulged out.

"Fuck?!"

"Awesome!!!"

"Did you f*cking adjust the control console???"

"Planning dad, please, cut it down quickly! If you don't, these people will go to heaven!"

A full cart of loot!

And all the things visible to the naked eye are good stuff!

This is too exaggerated!

The sisters Qiu Cao and Qiu Ye, who were sitting in front of the stall, were attracted by the movement over there and looked over. Especially the younger sister, who stretched her neck curiously, wanting to see clearly what was in the caravan.

But just when she was about to stand up, she was pulled back by her sister.

Qiu Cao shook her head and touched her sister's head.

"Don't look around, it's impolite."

Qiu Ye pouted aggrievedly and lowered her head.

"I know."

However, she was still very curious.

Although she couldn't understand what the blue coats were saying, and couldn't see clearly what was on the caravan, she always felt that they seemed very excited.

Could it be...

A baby was born?

The players were full of envy and hatred, and kept shouting that it was too unreasonable. Many people shouted "Dad, the planner".

Hearing someone shouting "The planner", Ye Shi couldn't sit still. With A Guang's personality, he must be peeking at the screen at this moment, and he must have heard it!

Without hesitation, he shouted back.

"Cut the chicken! Do you know how hard it is for me to go down? Two crawlers! One in front and one behind! There are also hundreds of gnawers. Do you know how we defeated them? Damn, I cut two of my knives and bent them!"

Looking at Ye Shi pretending to be cool, Fang Chang couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Lao Bai didn't waste words. He directly took Ye Shi's collar and led him away like a chicken.

"Fuck! Stop pulling me, I haven't finished talking yet!"

"Behave yourself!"

"That's right! Behave yourself!"

Kuangfeng and Fang Chang, together, pulled the wagon full of supplies, passed through the north gate without stopping, and headed for the NPC warehouse.

If these newbies knew that this full wagon of supplies was just the tip of the iceberg in the shelter, I wonder what they would think.

As for how rich the supplies on the wagon were?

A summary in one sentence.

These supplies were so rich that the warehouse manager had to ask for help from his superior, Old Luca, and Old Luca was helpless in the face of the supplies in the wagon. He didn't know what to do, so he could only continue to report to his superior, the manager.

"... Sir, I really don't know how to set the price, so I can only trouble you to decide it yourself." Standing in front of Chu Guang with trepidation, Luca lowered his head as if he had made a mistake.

Without bothering to answer him, Chu Guang walked straight to the wagon, took a look inside, and his eyebrows suddenly jumped fiercely.

Damn!

I'm rich!

Looking back at the four excited little players, Chu Guang nodded with approval.

"Your performance exceeded my expectations... To be honest, I didn't expect you to bring back so many things."

Seeing the expression on the manager's face, the four little players became even more excited.

We're rich!

Fang Chang raised his head and chest, and said respectfully.

"Dear manager, it is our honor to contribute to the great cause of rebuilding civilization!"

Ye Shi also spoke on the side.

"Yes! It is our honor!"

"I am very happy that you think so, but clear rewards and punishments are also an important part of rebuilding civilization. I will calculate the rewards that belong to you," Chu Guang glanced at the caravan and continued, "It will take some time to count these supplies. I will give you a suitable amount before midnight... including the settlement of other resources you found in the dungeon."

Chu Guang had previously used a drone to OB them and collected their chat recordings in the game, so he knew very well what they were doing there.

The four players didn't doubt how the manager knew about it. After all, what's so strange about NPC knowing the whereabouts of the players?

Not strange at all!

This guy can even kick people offline.

But when they heard the manager use the word "copy" to refer to the shelter they found under the department store, the four people showed excitement on their faces.

Copy!

Sure enough, the one they cleared was a hidden copy!

Although the copies of this game are all one-time...

Fang Chang looked respectful.

"We are not in a hurry, everything is up to you!"

He left the caravan next to the warehouse.

Fang Chang and his group carried Irena to the corpse room, and then took the elevator back to the shelter, ready to log off and get up.

Chu Guang threw the job of counting the spoils to Xiao Qi, and then asked Luca to issue a task to recruit some strength and physical players, and take them to drag the supplies under the department store back.

"...The map has been updated in your VM. If you can't find the way, turn on the automatic route finding."

"Remember, after you get there, bring back everything you can take away!"

"Don't leave even a screw behind!"

After explaining these things, Chu Guang got on the elevator and returned to the shelter. He turned on his computer and started editing the update announcement for version Alpha 0.61.

That's right, the version number is not 0.7, but 0.61.

This update is only a supplement to version 0.6.

As for why the sudden update?

In fact, it is not entirely due to the issue of "revenue settlement" in the Cow Horse Squad copy. A large part of the reason is that there is a problem with Brother Mole's team.

Let’s talk about the Cow Horse Team first.

It can be said that the battle against the abandoned department store was fought very beautifully.

Chu Guang almost didn't worry, they wiped out all the aliens in the underground garage and returned with a cart full of supplies.

And these materials are very high-quality industrial raw materials!

Especially those high-quality metal materials such as chromium ingots and tungsten ingots. There were a lot of them packed in the caravan, weighing more than a thousand kilograms at least. If you want to buy these materials, you can currently only import them from Honghe Town, and the prices are not cheap.

As for precious metals such as gold and silver, they are excellent conductors and are indispensable if you want to make precision instruments.

Not to mention those non-metallic consumables and chemicals, they are all valuable good things.

The key question now is, how to calculate the income?

If it is processed to the NPC warehouse, his little players will definitely lose blood. Many varieties have no corresponding orders at all and can only be recycled as garbage.

If you want to maximize your profits, you can only drag it to the market at the north gate and sell it slowly, but in this case, you may not be able to sell out all the items until next month.

After all, the number of life players who can use these materials can be counted on one hand.

The most reasonable solution is for Chu Guang to directly set a price and buy the materials produced by the entire copy in the form of reward settlement.

Equivalent to bulk commodity wholesale.

This is actually not bad. After all, distributing money to players means moving silver coins from one pocket to another for Chu Guang.

Now that there is a bank, even the step of moving your pocket is omitted.

Revenue settlement is a minor issue.

What the Alpha0.61 version really wants to solve is the imbalance of dungeon gameplay and problems with the distribution mechanism!

This problem did not appear on the Cow Horse Team, but on Brother Mole's "Greenhouse Ruins", it was actually a bit serious.

The dungeons of "Wasteland OL" are different from traditional MMORPGs, and even strictly speaking, they cannot be regarded as "dungeons".

First of all, the copy of "Wasteland OL" will not be refreshed after being cleared once.

Secondly, the number and difficulty of monsters do not increase with the progress of the strategy. In many cases, they decrease with the progress of the strategy.

This may be in line with the logic of reality, but it is not in line with the logic of the game.

After all, orthodox RPG games will give players time to level up and put the most difficult BOSS at the end of the level.

However, in "Wasteland OL", the hardest bone to crack is probably the first line of defense. After breaking through the first line of defense, the rest is harvesting.

This mechanism determines that the farther the dungeon is pushed to the back, the easier it will be. Players who open up the wasteland will have a thankless job. They may not be able to reap any benefits even if they throw their lives and equipment into it.

Obviously, Elder Brother Fang probably thought of this in advance. After discovering something good, he did not announce it on the forum at all, and a group of people quietly made a fortune there.

It wasn't until he couldn't chew anymore that he went to the forum to shake some passers-by of the physique system. During the specific discussion, they left the private chat without saying a word. Until the dungeon was cleared, many players still didn't know that this dungeon existed.

If they can eat a fish from beginning to end, there will naturally be no problem of uneven income distribution or being picked off by other players.

But when it comes to the "Greenhouse Ruins", it's a completely different situation.

From the time the dungeon was developed to now, the number of players who have downloaded the dungeon there has quadrupled, and it has almost become a hundred-regiment battle!

Chu Guang couldn't believe it if he hadn't seen it through the drone and VM map. Nearly fifty players had been squeezed into the first floor of the greenhouse, which was not spacious to begin with!

And the terrible thing is that these later players have almost no output. They just harvest the cocoons of the devil moths in the back, pick them up and run away.

If the players who are bleeding and sweating in front of you don’t have any objections, then it’s a ghost!

According to the posts on the forum, Chu Guang gradually realized that the current copy had serious "bugs" in the gameplay mechanism.

Under the current gameplay mechanism, first of all, the value of intelligence cannot be reflected, and secondly, players who open up wasteland have become taken advantage of. The money earned is either the old YB who silently made a fortune, or those who sneaked in to pick up the leaks later.

Is this reasonable?

Not reasonable at all!

If this is still the case in the closed beta stage, who would be stupid enough to share the strategy?

As the embodiment of justice, Chu Guang will certainly not sit idly by.

Fairness is the second principle after the server environment. Since there are bugs in the existing gameplay mechanism, adjustments must be made!

[Alpha0.61 version update: Dungeon rules adjusted! 】

After typing a line of title, Chu Guang continued to edit the adjustment details in the document.

The first is the definition.

Including special facilities such as alien nests, hidden resource points, shelter ruins, etc., as long as the search value is greater than 100 silver coins and has a certain threat level, they will be marked as "dungeons" on the map.

The income from small dungeons will be settled immediately after clearing the level. Large dungeons may be divided into multiple small dungeons, and the income will be settled in stages according to the progress of the strategy.

In principle, you must first obtain "exploration rights" to enter the dungeon.

Players can only have the right to explore one copy at a time, and this copy is only authorized to one player.

Authorized players can organize their own teams and enter the dungeon to explore. If other players illegally break into a copy that has been authorized to explore, it will be regarded as an infringement of the right to explore. Fines will be imposed depending on the specific circumstances, and the infringed players will be compensated.

Based on the time when the VM uploads the map data, the first discoverer of the dungeon will automatically gain priority to explore the dungeon after the clues are uploaded and the judgment is completed.

"One dungeon doesn't require so many players to rush in. It's inefficient and prone to trouble if they all rush into one dungeon. It's better to spread out and explore more dungeons."

“Protecting the rights of discoverers of ‘high-value resource points’ can also encourage players to discover more good things.”

"Well, not only do we have to limit the number of authorizations, but we also have to limit the time...to exclude people who are occupying the toilet and not giving up."

Chu Guang continued to edit the document.

Depending on the copy type, the authorization period for priority exploration rights is between 3 and 7 days!

During the period, the discoverer of the dungeon and his teammates can give priority to exploring the dungeon, or they can transfer the priority exploration rights to other players through trade.

However, it should be noted that the transfer will not trigger a restart. In other words, the transferred party can only obtain the remaining time of the license.

If unfortunately, the player still fails to clear the dungeon before the expiration of the priority exploration rights period, the priority exploration rights will be removed.

At the same time, Outpost will re-evaluate the difficulty of the dungeon based on existing intelligence, set a guaranteed pass reward, and then conduct a public auction for the right to explore the dungeon.

50% of the proceeds from the auction will be used to compensate players who have lost priority exploration rights, and the other 50% will go to the outpost.

This can also be regarded as compensation for the players who open up wasteland.

After all, every bullet fired is money, so it would be too pitiful to have no compensation at all.

Of course, the wasteland pioneer player who has lost the priority to explore can also participate in the auction if he thinks it is worth continuing to pay for this copy.

After the dungeon is cleared, Outpost will evaluate the dungeon's income based on the specific circumstances and give a reasonable valuation.

Players can decide by themselves whether to settle the copy income with the preset guaranteed reward or the evaluation price given by the NPC.

If not selected, the maximum of the two values ​​will be used by default.

At the same time, after the dungeon is cleared, the right to explore will automatically be invalidated.

Players can continue to look for the next dungeon as a target for the strategy, and the outpost will also re-plan the plots, areas, and facilities to complete the strategy.

Players can make reasonable suggestions.

But whether to adopt it or not depends on the judgment of the relevant NPC.

As for the dungeons explored before version 0.61, the priority exploration rights will be removed by default and will directly enter the auction process to re-dispose of the exploration rights.

According to the rule of whoever discovers who gets priority, the [Edge Paddling] who is the first to mark the dungeon entrance through the VM and successfully upload the map data back to the shelter will probably become the biggest winner of this version update.

Although he has lost the priority right to explore, according to the auction rules, he will receive 50% of the auction proceeds from the exploration rights as compensation.

As for whether he wants to give a share to [Maka Bazi] who will accompany him to the OB, that is a matter between the two of them.

…

When Chu Guang uploaded the announcement of the Alpha0.61 version update to the official website, it was exactly 6:30 in the morning in the real world.

This is also the busiest time of the day for the official website.

No surprises.

Almost as soon as the announcement of version 0.61 update appeared on the homepage of the official website, the topic in the forum immediately exploded.

Tails: "Throne! (｀∀´)Ψ"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Bookworm: "!!! Big news! This time the version number has become 0.61!"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "The official has finally noticed the problem with the gameplay mechanism of the dungeon. If we don't care about it anymore, we really can't lead this team! T.T"

Elf King Fugui: "I feel sorry for Brother Mole, he is almost driven crazy by the newcomers who are riding cars. (Funny)"

Roshan Damomo: "Wait a minute, what does this announcement mean? From now on, a dungeon can only enter one fleet at a time?"

Tails: "What?! Tails can no longer fish in troubled waters?!!!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ"

Sisi: "Awei, please stop it, please don't be so confident."

Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: "Hell, one dungeon is bound to one person? If there are more people in the future, will the server be able to handle it?"

Stop talking nonsense: "I think it's unreasonable! It's an auction again! Mosquitoes will definitely raise their cards blindly!"

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Gan! Am I that kind of person? And even if I raise the sign, I won't leave it alone, okay?"

Stop talking nonsense: "Have you ever been to the front line?!"

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Why haven't you been on it before? Although I didn't go up there, my equipment did!"

Stop bragging: "Stop bragging! You killed a lot of monsters, but you didn't kill a lot of fish!"

Teng Teng: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. When will my textile machine be ready? The child is going to cry. QAQ"

Ya'er, I need to go to the toilet: "Don't cry, Teng Teng! It's almost done, there are still a few parts left! No, we have the workbench and the rubber for the piston. I promise to get it done for you within three days!" "

Mole on the run in the canyon: "Speaking of which, who of you knows the dungeon profits of Elder Brother Fang and the others? Why haven't I seen them showing off?"

Irena: "(funny)"

Night Ten: "(Funny)"

Lao Bai: "...Speaking of which, when will the exploration rights for the 'Greenhouse Ruins' copy begin? (Squints)"

Gale: "Exciting. (Funny)"

The canyon is trapping the mole: "Wait!! What do you want to do? (Horrified)"

Fang Chang: "Ahem, Brother Mole... I'm sorry."

The canyon is trapping the mole: "Good brother, give me a chance! I really want to get through! ∑(っ°Д°;)っ"

Fang Chang: "Definitely next time!"
