The game "Apocalypse OL" has become so popular that it has gone viral.
Cheng Shaofeng released the original pictures taken in the world, and the reporter of Game Wind and Cloud News reported "Please Master Punish Fugui", which is equivalent to the official announcement of the existence of this game. It is not one of those pie-in-the-sky games.
Some games take 4 years to draw! Can you believe it
Although it is still in the internal testing stage, all the players who have participated in the internal testing have given it full marks and positive reviews!
Websites such as Mouxia.com, Mouminxingkong, and MouDM have already opened columns for "Apocalypse OL" to record news and pictures about the game. Commentary posts and prediction posts by various gaming experts are also very popular.
But... the resources column is empty.
There are no download resources, let alone pirated ones, there is no official diversion, and there is not even a link to a helmet.
The 'Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow' that was never absent was nowhere to be seen.
When Cheng Shaofeng was frantically operating the game in the wasteland, this game was already known to everyone on the Internet!
The number of reservations on the official website of "Apocalypse OL" has increased from hundreds of thousands to 20 million!
This is not fake data made by some websites for the sake of appearance, these are real players.
Under the huge traffic, a magical creature emerged on the official website - cloud players.
Although they have not entered the game, they know the game's mechanics, maps, and characters like the back of their hands!
Daily guidance for 330 players in internal testing.
Highlight one: sense of participation.
Cheng Shaofeng just released a hot patch announcement for the version update, and it was immediately captured by the cloud player community!
The little one is also very cute: "I said last time that this game is too rigid to limit it to only two professions! Nowadays, online games have no profession restrictions. Sure enough, this update specially added universal skills. Haha~ Someone is crowdfunding to make a game. I won’t say who it is."
The First Show-Off King: "What are the universal skills? Someone in the beta test can write them down quickly so I can see if they can fit into my BD. I just put together 2 new builds, which are definitely paths you have never imagined. Whoever V-scores me 50, I will teach you how to dominate the entire server today!"
Mr. 91 Wei: "@Peak Squad@Special Agents Team@Firepower Team@Retarded Team, can you guys do me a favor and transcribe all the NPC dialogues of the newly added Wanderers? I will help you analyze whether there is any hidden plot."
You give me a name: "It's just a minor version change, it won't affect the normal gameplay. According to the divination I just did yesterday, everyone should now move to the southwest, there are adventures there, are there any friends who want to try it? We'll split the profits, you want the iron coins, I want WeChat transfer."
Loli babbled: "Idiot, big idiot! There are four mountains to the southwest of Huo Town."
You give me a name: "Uh... further southwest?"
She said it was from a tan. "Don't do useless things. Hurry up and work on your skills. I can't help but put together an invincible BD. In addition, all the internal test players, please be more conscious and post the new inlays and equipment attributes to facilitate my selection."
One of the big players among the cloud players even made a website for this game!
The equipment, inlays, professions, skills, consumables, monster attributes, etc. currently in the game have been integrated, which is completely in line with the game settings of "Apocalypse OL". Cloud players can directly set their own levels in it and match them at will, cloud BD.
Compared to the game where every choice must be made with great care and every skill point and attribute point must be carefully considered, the advantage of cloud BD is that... it can be adjusted at any time.
Many cloud players even use their own cloud BD solutions to teach internal test players how to play the game.
Don’t say it, don’t say it!
Although cloud players often make weird remarks and point fingers,... there are actually quite a few people with creative thinking!
They have created several theoretical models on this website, which seem quite constructive.
Several have been applied.
One of the more typical cases was successfully tested today.
The gun and shield tactician invented by the cloud player 'Once made a pledge with the gods'!
Required conditions: Players must be level 10 or above and choose the Inquisitor + Soldier profession.
When these two occupations were combined, the names of the occupations changed.
Tactician!
Tester: Riben Guizi.
As an old player who participated in the internal beta test earlier, although Riben Guizi is not a first-tier player, at least his upgrades have not been delayed and he is now at level 12.
After saving a number of skill points, I found Yun BD, Gun and Shield Tactician, who had signed a pact with the gods, on the official website. I was immediately amazed and decided to become his test subject.
'Once Signed with God' defines this BD in eight words: "Long-range shooting and close-range smashing, both offensive and defensive."
The weapon is a combination of pistol + shield.
The shield defends against long-range and close-range attacks, and the pistol is the main attack.
If it's close combat, just put away the pistol and fight with the shield in both hands.
The reason for this fighting style is related to a skill of the soldiers - shield training.
Shield Training
Train how to use the shield smoothly and flexibly, so that the shield is no longer a burden in battle.
Passive Skills
0/10 level
Next level: 1
Block success rate +2%
Shield damage +2%
Applicable occupation: Soldier
Required Soldier Occupational Specialization Points: 1
A relatively unpopular skill, but it gave inspiration to 'Once Pledged with the Gods'.
"The Inquisitor class has strong output capabilities, but its power plummets to zero when it is attacked. If I pair it with a class that makes up for this weakness and introduce a shield system... what will happen?"
All offensive skills of the Inquisitor profession, including normal attack - gun shooting, are difficult to use when the enemy gets close.
First of all, the performance of firearms in close combat is extremely poor. Although it is said that guns are fast and accurate within 7 steps, but... the enemy is close to the face, and guns have no way to fight against their melee weapons, and it is very easy to accidentally injure teammates.
Similarly, Storm Box, Meg's Ice Rune, and even the new skill Command of Pain all indiscriminate damage within a certain range. If teammates are around, the effect will be killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own.
It would be nice to have a close combat weapon at this time.
Shield!
It can be used as a cover for defense when shooting, and can be directly swung up and smashed in close combat.
Thanks to the shield training skill, players who learn this skill will become experts in using shields.
Moreover, there is another speculation about "having signed a pledge with the gods".
After learning the skill of Ranged Expert to the maximum level, every attack will be accompanied by energy damage, using energy to enhance the power of the firearm. The bullets fired by a pistol can be comparable to those of a rifle, and the power will continue to increase with the level.
Then... shield training must have a corresponding mechanism!
It's hard to say what form it takes, but the combination of these two combat skills has already formed the basic foundation of the tactician. Assisted by rhythm strike, an attack mode that perfectly suits guns and shields, the excellent speed burst of Windranger can make the attack both aggressive and elegant.
If you don't have the skill points to learn explosive ammunition and ice barrage, you can go to the lord's store to buy them. Anyway, now when you attack the Red City, ammunition is 30% cheaper, so you can stock up more.
Following the guidance of 'Once I Signed a Pledge with the Gods', 'Riben Guizi' built his own new structure.
The weapon chosen was the latest 17-round automatic pistol sold in the Lord's Store, which was shaped like a Glock 45 and had just been transported from the Colossus City.
One gun cost 800 iron coins, and he bought two, one with normal bullets and one with special bullets as a backup.
Several magazines and several ice and fire bullets.
The shield was an epic piece of equipment that he had obtained by disassembling a giant-tusked boar that was a small boss in the wild.
Boar's Guardian Buckler
Quality: Epic
Frontal Damage Limit: 330
Physical Damage: 52
Health +339
Defense +35
Defense ability +3%
Grants skill: Wild Boar's Fury
Sends out a wave of energy around you, pushing away everyone around you
Energy consumption: 30
Skill Cooldown: 30 seconds
Range: 4 meters
Physical Damage: 123
There is a chance that the opponent will enter a traumatic state, causing continuous damage (depending on the opponent's physical defense, the triggering probability, damage, and duration will increase or decrease).
It can be said that the shield that was created a few days ago was a key factor in Riben Guizi's choice of the gun and shield tactician.
In order to have this dish of vinegar, I have to make some dumplings!
High defense, high bonus.
When Riben Guizi held the shield, he felt like he had instantly become Captain America!
If this shield didn’t look like a flattened pig’s head, it would look more like one.
Now, he holds this shield like a butcher selling pig heads on the street...
Fortunately, the attributes are really good. The shield in "Apocalypse OL" should be considered top-level equipment.
The shield is inlaid with polished jade, giving +1 to each of the three attributes.
A commonly used pistol is inlaid with serrated spikes, gaining an armor-piercing aura that increases piercing damage by 25%, which is a perfect bonus to the firearm.
Piercing damage is actually a type of physical damage, and is also weakened by the opponent's armor. Most ordinary firearms are pure piercing damage.
The other pistol is inlaid with Burning Remnant, which grants Fireball and increases a small amount of fire damage, and provides an additional bonus when using explosive ammunition.
You can match other parts of the body with whatever you have. Currently, most of them are inlaid with versatile inlays such as polished jade.
One can increase all attributes by 1 point, which is equivalent to giving 3 level attribute points for free, which is very powerful at this stage.
As the bodies of the charred people were continuously transported into the Scourge Base, the price of polished jadeite fell, and everyone could afford it.
Riben Guizi used this configuration to join the battle between Hongcheng and Jiaohua people.
He just raised his shield and shot, with the front of the shield blocking the opponent's rays, blocking them all. Except for some impact force, his body was hardly harmed.
A max-level long-range expert makes each of his bullets carry energy attacks, making a small pistol more powerful than a rifle!
Three for a rhythm strike, six for a scorched man.
When the charred men got close, a wild boar pushed them out in anger and shot them piapiapia with a small pistol.
Fully automatic pistols fire very fast!
Teammates fighting together in Hongcheng could hear the "clang clang clang" sound of Riben Guizi's rhythmic percussion throughout the whole process, just like typing on a mechanical keyboard, which was extremely refreshing.
The most important thing is... this combination allows Riben Guizi to almost not need any teammates and can perform crazy operations by himself.
Can defend and attack.
Even if the Scorched Man broke through to him and was bounced back by the Wild Boar's Rage Skill, he could still calmly step on the Wind Walker to distance himself, and then piapiapia~
Unable to meet the conditions for shooting, he put the pistol back at his waist, wielding the pig-head shield with both hands and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the charred man.
Shield training is an offensive and defensive skill. It not only teaches users how to use shields for defense, but also teaches users how to use shields to counterattack. It is very useful.
If players don't have this kind of combat experience and are asked to operate on their own... then it really requires three systems, hands, eyes, and brain, to perform three sets of operations.
Eyes: “I see!”
Brain: "Here's what to do next!"
Hand: "I'll fuck your mothers! What the hell is this operation, GG!"
Of course, this is still a good situation.
In most emergencies, this is the case...
Eyes: “I see!”
Head: "Eh? Who am I? Where am I? What should I do? Makabaka makabakamu~"
hand:"?"
Combat dexterity skills are still very useful, otherwise no matter how good the equipment is, it will be difficult for the player to play its role.
Riben Guizi changed his job to a tactician, focusing on dealing damage, while auxiliary support such as electric shock was left to other Inquisitor teammates. The people in the mentally retarded team were doing very well in the Red City.
He used his strength to verify the BD of the cloud player "who had made a promise with the gods" and won a great victory.
Of course, we can’t trust everything the cloud players say, otherwise… the fun people will take action.
For example, many of the guys from the Retarded Bar have already started having fun.
Core retard: "Tell me, what sentence has a completely different meaning when read backwards?"
It immediately attracted a lot of people who were having fun.
"I'm in junior high school."
"I'm crazy about you in this life."
"You who are in school enter the society."
"A brother who is eight levels lower than me."
"A sister from a wonderful school."
All of them are heavyweights!
Xiaoxiao blushed and wrote "Brother Zhao, I want you to do something for me." After reading the answers... she deleted her comment silently.
The girl replied in a long-winded and sad voice: "You can never imagine how perverted netizens are..."
The official website of "Apocalypse OL" is extremely lively with the cloud players who really want to discuss, set the pace, and have fun.
It took a long time to get back to the topic.
There isn’t much content in this update. Apart from the fun stuff, the main focus is still on general skills and new professional skills.
After the post was posted for a while, most people flocked to the new post just opened by 'African Thin Dog'.
"Discussion on the practicality of the game's new general skills and the current new construction"
As the player who loves to share and communicate the most, Xigou posts all his new skills as soon as possible.
General skills: Vine Binding, Iron Sand Palm, Rock Spikes, Ignition, Fire Spell, and Diamond Body.
Occupational skills: Summon Plague Demon (Dead), Grave Will (Dead), Blood Explosion (Mystical), Weakened (Mystical)
"The data panels for all skills are already here. What do you think, masters?"
Xigou also had to admit that there were quite a few big names among the cloud players.
After they cleared another Red City area under the arrangement of the special forces team, they have reached level 14. It is time to consider the issue of a second career.
While the players were chatting enthusiastically, Xufeng, who never missed such a moment, did not join in the discussion.
Because he... just came out of Tuoba Liang's room.
When he submitted the task, he heard part of the conversation between Tuoba Liang and the lord, so after Tuoba Liang returned, he took the initiative to visit him.
The martial artist who shared the brain globally was obviously no match for the modern player Xufeng. He didn't know who had occupied the host and was stunned for several times, but was soon revealed the truth by Xufeng.
"The frontline battlefield... a secret kept secret by the lords. It's a high-level dungeon. Level 1s are everywhere. Transcendents are worse than dogs. The mortality rate is extremely high. The situation is extremely complicated. However... the chances are much greater than staying here."
Xufeng clenched his fists, he used to be a professional Diablo player, after entering this game... he never got back to his peak moment, and was always suppressed by the chosen team like the Peak Team.
One step faster, every step faster.
He believed that his understanding of the game was not worse than theirs, but... not better either, so it was difficult for him to surpass the top team by just grinding the game step by step.
In addition, as a lone wolf player, he yearns for a life of revenge and satisfaction like a swordsman.
"There are too many teams in the base... I don't like group monster hunting. I might as well go out and try it myself."
Now, he knew a piece of information that no one else knew, and this was his only chance to surpass others at this moment.
“Although the future is uncertain, I will never feel happy if I don’t try.”
“Let’s go!”
