Chapter 286 Beta0.1 version update! Brand new business gameplay and corps system!

  The atmosphere at the scene was boiling like fire, and the lively voices were like roaring waves.

   Standing on the third floor, Chu Guang could see the enthusiastic faces.

   He could even touch it with the tip of his nose, the excitement and longing that came to his face.

  The blood is surging in my heart.

   That emotional resonance spread through the crowd.

   He believed.

   The person who is waiting for this moment is not just himself.

   At six o'clock in the evening.

  The boiling sound in the square subsided a little, and at this moment, the solemn and loud voice sounded above the square.

   "Nearly 200 days and nights have passed from the moment the gate was opened. It took us only half a year to go from the endless wilderness to the ten thousand mu of fertile fields outside the farm."

   "In this short half-year period, we expel the alien species, conquer the barbarians, defeat the tide, advance in the fire of artillery, and cultivate the barren soil."

   "We accomplished miracles that others thought impossible, and it came with sacrifice, but we didn't leave anyone behind."

   "Now we have enough reasons to believe that we have the courage and the ability to bring order to farther places!"

   "Let's cheer for this moment!"

   "For myself and everyone around me!"

   "Victory belongs to us!"

   "To all who fought for this land!"

The voice of    fell, and it was loud.

   thunderous applause.

   Cheers resounded throughout the square.

   "Long live the administrator!"

   "Vault 404 is immortal!"

   "Long Live the People's Union!"

   "Long Live Demacia!"

   "Emperor of Mankind!"

   "People live for - woo woo woo, let me go, let me finish!"

   Some people shouted greatness and long live, and some people said some incomprehensible and even confusing words, but the pure feelings were the same.

  People are expressing their excitement in their own way, venting their emotional resonance in cheers.

  Wait for the turbulent sound to subside.

At the end of the opening ceremony of the celebration, Chu Guang announced the decision of the management of Vault 404 - in the background setting of "Wasteland OL", the authority of the administrator is also controlled by the "overhead agency" located at the bottom of the Refuge granted.

"...According to the collective vote of the management of No. 404, Vault 404 will fulfill the mission entrusted to us by the People's Union era, join hands with our compatriots who are waiting for us on the surface, rebuild a new alliance from the ruins, and rebuild an equality A prosperous new world, rebuild our home!"

   In the name of the Alliance, the United Front for the Restoration of Human Civilization was officially announced!

   In order to distinguish it from the people's alliance of the old era, it is referred to as "New Alliance" or "New Alliance".

  From the North Fifth Ring Road of Qingquan City to Yuanxi Town, across a large area of ​​Yumu District, it will be the first restoration area of ​​the new alliance.

   And a large piece of land from the outpost to Changchang Farm will be merged and managed in the name of Dawn City, as the capital of the new alliance.

   As for the legislative work and the construction of the system, it will also be carried out later, so I will not go into details here. There is much more detailed and complex work, but fortunately there is also a lot of time, and people have enough time to explore the path that suits them.

  This work is like developing an APP. You can first come up with a bug that can run, and then slowly adjust it, so that this bug can be accepted by most people, or at least not uncomfortable for most people.

   A program that satisfies everyone 100% does not exist even in a prosperous era where productivity and resources are extremely rich. Even with the big data that has been tempered, it will occasionally raise blood pressure.

   But at the end of the day, something is better than nothing.

   Chaos has been going on in La Valle for two centuries, and the people who live here have been waiting too long for this moment.

   Even if the vast majority of the aborigines do not understand the meaning of the alliance, at least not yet, it does not prevent them from cheering for this moment.

   They need a reason to unite.

   A reason to speak proudly.

  Bachi, who was standing in the tin can, rubbed his index finger against the lower edge of his helmet, looking up at Chu Guang who was standing on the third floor of the sanatorium with interest.

   "The new alliance...sounds interesting."

   Witnessed the birth of a new force, and his trip to the west was well worth it.

  Hya's face didn't show any change in expression, she was now full of specimens from the mother's nest, DNA, and research on the expression-inducing serum.

   Having experienced that "farce" back then, she has already seen through the boredom in human nature, and she is only interested in things worthy of her interest.

  Yin Fang, who was standing aside, touched the bridge of his nose and said thoughtfully.

   "It exceeded my expectations."

  Budge gave him a curious look.

   "What surprise?"

   "I thought he would make himself emperor."

   Although he said this in a mocking tone, Yin Fang was not joking at all.

   Vault 404 didn't feel like a real sanctuary to him, at least not like the few sanctuaries he'd been to.

   Maybe because of belief, maybe because of charisma, the residents here unconditionally obey and even worship him.

   As long as the man wants, he can do whatever he wants. Not to mention being an emperor, and even more exaggerated things, no one can oppose him.

   In fact, based on Yin Fang's understanding of Chu Guang, this man really seldom cares about means in order to achieve his goals, and some cowardly actions can always make him stunned.

   Yet inexplicably, he rarely does these things for himself.

  People are really complicated things...

   "Long live the new alliance! Long live Dawn City!" Ditwi, who was standing on the edge of the crowd, cheered excitedly, even more exaggerated than the actions of the locals, which attracted the attention of others.

  The owner of the Grey Squirrel Clothing Store, Er, gave this guy a surprised look. He came here to buy goods. He happened to be in time for this celebration, but he didn't expect to see an old customer.

   "Aren't you guys from Boulder City?"

   "What's the matter?" With excitement on his face, Detway said nonchalantly, "We are all survivors of Qingquan City, we live in the same wasteland, is there any problem with my cheering? No problem at all!"

   People from Boulder City?

   He doesn't remember having this label.

   He is a businessman, a businessman who walks on the wasteland. He was neither born there nor a vassal of the lord. Whoever can make him rich, he will follow whomever he can, and he will take the money wherever he can make it.

   It would be a big mistake to think of him as a Boulder man just because he often does business in Boulder!

   It wasn't just Ditwee who thought so, Liszt, who was standing not far away, also had the same idea in his heart, but his mood was far more complicated than this guy's.

   He has a good reputation among the merchants of the Stone City. For more than ten years, he has traveled south and north, and he only has the idea of ​​living in the inner city.

   But recently, this idea has suddenly been shaken.

   This is pretty incredible.

  Liszt has been to many more prosperous places than here, such as the ideal city in the province of clouds, which is like paradise.

   But he never once thought about spending the rest of his life there.

   The people there think about things completely different from what he thinks, and even with a simple touch in business, he can feel that he and them are two worlds.

  If you live there with your property, the biggest possibility is to sit and eat and then get out. The people there never thought of accommodating other people, and he couldn't integrate into the local life at all.

   But it is different here, whether it is a refugee or a businessman, as long as they obey the local laws, they can be accepted.

  Yes, the same is true for the Stone City, at least the outer city can be entered by anyone, but the two places give him completely different feelings.

   Liszt couldn't describe that feeling.

   But in a word it is different.

  Xia Yan, who was standing at the door of the weapon store, stared at the blue power armor in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

   The little fish that straddled her neck shook his calf excitedly, straightened his neck and looked around, chewing the plastic stick in his mouth.

   She couldn't understand what Big Brother Chu was saying.

   But everyone seems happy.

   Something good must have happened!

   Tail sitting on the shoulders of the flesh, looking at the direction of the weapon store with envy and murmured in his mouth.

   "Damn...why is Boss Xia carrying Xiaoyu! Tail also wants to be Xiaoyu's mount!"

  Siss gave her a surprised look.

   "Hey! Can I call the police?"

   In this great moment for the natives and players to celebrate together, a server announcement was also updated in all players' VMs at the same time.

   and the official website of the forum.

  【Wasteland Online Beta 0.1 version update announcement! 】

  【Major update:

  4. Fix a few bugs.

  …

  】

   is still the old rule.

At the same time as the    announcement, Chu Guang posted the pre-edited post to Xiao Qi on the official website forum!

   "Developer Diary: Beta0.1 Version"

   "Hello everyone, I'm your dearest planner, Aguang! I haven't seen each other for a long time, but I've been watching over you on the forum."

"After sacrificing 200 siege lions, our server has finally been reborn, and now we can accommodate 4,500 players online at the same time! At present, the helmets are being produced overtime, and we plan to release 10~40 activation codes and Virtual helmet, in other words, every day after three days, there will be fresh and delicious - I mean cute little cuties join us!"

"Are you happy? Are you excited? Although there is a long queue in front of the gate of the new world, at least the gate has opened a small gap now! Don't applaud for us, dedicate the applause to those testers. , they have suffered a lot in the server... What? You want to come in and suffer too? Just wait! There will be a chance!"

"In short, with the efforts of countless test players, our virtual community has begun to take shape, and "Wasteland Online" has finally ushered in the B round of testing! "End the closed beta test before the launch, and decide whether or not to add a closed beta test before the public beta based on the actual situation."

   "Tell me about this beta version!"

   "In the new version, we will focus more on the development of the virtual community itself, enhance the cooperation between players and players, players and NPCs, and enrich players' professional gameplay and choices."

"Traditional quests are still the most mainstream way to play, but they are no longer the only option. You can choose to skip complicated quests and register with the 'Travelers Guild' to become a traveling merchant with the money you saved from part-time work. Start with a small business and grow the business little by little, and then lose it all again.”

   "If you don't want to take all the risks alone, you can also rely on cheating to pull your friend into your black car and let him bear part of the cost, and the price is a little dividend."

"If you're not interested in doing business, and you don't have the confidence to haggle with cunning wastelanders with crappy words, you can also try to hire NPCs, or be hired by NPCs, to run your own or other people's trade routes, and eventually become A tycoon or a famous old man."

   "You can even register to be a caravan **** who is busy with firefighting, putting aside money worries and focusing on enjoying the journey itself. Anyway, death is just a three-day return to the city from CD for you."

   "In addition to the above content, we have also prepared brand-new content for professional combat players-that is, the corps system that makes people's blood boil!"

"In the new version, the combat mode of player forces will evolve from conscripts to standing corps. NPCs will set up one or more standing corps as needed, and some corps will be open to players to join, mainly for those who are not interested in command and focus on the mainstream. Combat pros with mission gameplay."

"Of course, in addition to the standing corps established by NPCs, the new version also allows players to set up their own corps. If you have enough confidence in your command art and have proven this to others, you can also consider taking a path. Unusual road."

"Any player who has three or more silver medals and whose contribution level has reached a senior citizen level can form an independent 'corps' with at least two middle-level citizens or above, set their own flags and numbers, and recruit others who trust themselves, And join the team with like-minded players.”

"We have designed a special growth route for the Corps system. Like the skill proficiency system, it is divided into ten levels. The scale is divided into ten-man teams, hundred-man teams, and even thousand-man teams. Accumulation of military merits can be promoted, and the maximum number of recruits can be increased. , a bigger location and a bigger budget.”

   "It is worth mentioning that although the Corps was born for war, its function is not only to fight externally, but also to maintain order, suppress rebellion, protect peace, expel aliens, fight tides and build homes."

"In a peaceful state, the corps can choose whether to participate in tasks such as mercenaries, escorts, weapons testing, etc. according to their own needs, and obtain funds from the tasks to purchase and upgrade equipment. When a war breaks out, each corps will automatically respond to the war in the sanctuary. Call, go to the front line to fight."

"We will strengthen the cooperation between life professional players and combat professional players, and let two different gameplays get the same game experience through a reasonable balance design. We will give players more power to dispose of loot, and will also encourage life careers. Players are supporting the frontline more logistically and taking what they need from the captured loot.”

   "Investing in a battle with a high chance of winning may be a sure-fire business, but a battle full of risks may also bring huge dividends."

   "But it should be noted that although the player's corps can determine the target of the attack to a certain extent, it does not have the right to declare war on its own, nor can it declare war on external forces on behalf of the new alliance."

   "As the direct person in charge, the corps commander needs to strictly restrain his team. The price of violating discipline is not only the withdrawal of the flag and number, but major violations will even affect the continued use of the account..."

The    post was posted in less than a minute.

   The forum, which was originally calm, exploded in an instant.

   "Fuck!? The B round test is really open!"

   "Dog planning is awesome!"

   "Aguang: Well said, your number is gone."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

   "By the way, why didn't you see those with closed test targets on the forum today?"

   "The marked ones are all online! These nasty Europeans! Eighty percent of them are having fun in the game right now, and I don't have time to show off on the forum."

   "Hey! Why can't we wait for the new version to go online and have a celebration! Did I just miss the whole Spring Festival event!"

   "Calm down, even after the new version is launched, you will have to wait three days to enter the game, not to mention that there are only 40 qualifications released every day. Are you sure you can win?"

   "Hey! Do you want to be so real!"

   "Don't say it!"

   Since the last game screenshot function was launched, a large number of high-definition screenshots have flooded into the forum, and the number of reservations has already broken through the six-digit barrier and is heading for the seven-digit number.

   There are so many people queuing at the same time, and there are only forty numbers at most every day. There are always people who can line up and some people can’t.

   But compared to the endless wait before, the release of accounts every day is always a hope.

   Unlike the Alpha version, sometimes it was released several times a month, and sometimes it didn't release one issue a month, which was really frustrating.

  Cloud players cheered the arrival of the B round of testing, the gossip section of the entire forum was frantically swiping, and only the few sections that were only limited to beta testers were not lively.

but.

   It's only a matter of time before it gets lively.

  Online players' VMs can also receive version update messages.

As soon as the    celebration started, there was a long queue at the gate of the save point, all players who planned to take a shortcut to get offline and go to the official website to join in the fun.

  There are other options if you don’t want to go to the save point. The beer and corn wine at the celebration are unlimited, and 5 silver coins can buy a large glass or a large bowl.

  It is even more convenient for the old players. They found a place to lie down without getting in the way, and then directly used the VM to ask Xiaoqi to help open the brakes.

   From the previous Alpha 1.0 version, there were simply too many ways to tactically go offline.

   But not everyone is in a hurry to run to the official website.

Why bother?

   Friends are in the game.

   Where is the discussion not the same?

on the square.

   Watching the server announcement popped up on the VM, Commander Quan Shui touched his chin with excitement.

   "Have your own resident, with funds allocated by the sanctuary, and you can recruit players... No level limit? In other words, you can recruit new people?"

   Although the level is not good, he is the one with the highest commanding skill proficiency in the whole server.

   The edge paddling is obviously also very interested. The requirements for the establishment of the Independent Corps are three silver medals and a senior citizen. He fully meets the standards. One of the medals is a "special medal" with a shield painted on it.

   The debt-eyed big-eyed who stood next to him said with a smile.

   "How about the name Death Corps?"

   "Fuck off!"

   Although he said **** off, he was obviously moved.

   On the other side, several members of the Niu Ma team also gathered to discuss,

   After reading the server announcement about quitting smoking, he suddenly cried out in surprise.

   "Brilliant! By the way, is this Corps system preparing for guild gameplay?"

"80% yes," Fang Chang nodded and said thoughtfully, "Aguang's information in the post is very clear, the new version will place more emphasis on the cooperation between players and focus on improving the community. "

Brother Mole on the side heard it, and hesitantly said: "General MMORPGs will not start to attract players to the guild game after level 30 or even level 60? The current server level is less than LV20, so let's start warming up now. Are you in a hurry?"

   After the main quests of MMORPGs are generally completed, the level is basically close to full level. If you want to increase the game content, you can only rely on constantly patching the plot, constantly sending expansions, blackening popular characters, and whitewashing villains.

   But that alone is clearly not enough.

   Sylvanas can never burn a tree twice.

   The strategy of most MMORPGs is to guide players to form a community, and use guilds and interpersonal relationships to bind players in the game.

   is similar to apprenticeship and marriage.

   However, "Wasteland OL" obviously does not have this problem.

  There is so much to explore in the wasteland world, it is like a real world, even if the dog plan does not make any updates, the existing gameplay alone is enough for players to toss for a long time.

Fang Chang: "In fact, there is no difference. Generally, MMORPGs have reached level 50~60 in half a year. The upgrade difficulty of "Wasteland Online" is obviously much greater than that of traditional MMORPGs, and it is also good for high-level players to choose more ways to play. normal."

   Lao Bai nodded.

   "Indeed, the server used to have few people and there were many tasks. Now the number of players has increased, and there are not enough trees near the park."

   is not just a tree.

  The trash in the ruins will not be refreshed if you pick it up.

  If you want to get bigger benefits, you can only go farther.

   Not only felling trees and scavenging, but other occupations were the same.

   paused for a moment, Fang Chang looked at his friends and continued.

   "Let's make a prediction, there will be at most two versions, the server will definitely open the dormancy pods for archiving to players for purchase, allowing players to create their own save points, and even allowing players to buy training pods and set their own resurrection points!"

   Ye Shi hesitated: "What does this mean?"

   Fang Chang answered only two words.

   "Territory!"
