With the development of the game market, phenomenal blockbuster games can be described as endless, but unexpectedly, the MMO games that were once loved by players have always been tepid. The reason is that the "old mode" of the traditional MMORPG may be fundamental, after all, the current players are paying attention to short and fast, while the traditional MMO's large number of main quests, dungeon gameplay and limited-time multiplayer activities are overwhelming, so the situation is getting worse, and there are few new games.
The disadvantages of traditional MMORPG games are well known to manufacturers, so many game manufacturers have begun to play the idea of "change" and integrate popular game elements into traditional MMORPG to attract more users. Among them, the most radical is the non-NetEase martial arts online game "Against the Cold Water". Recently, the game official broke a big material - "Against the Cold Water" is about to usher in the biggest change in history, the traditional MMORPG is completely modified into an "open world" game, and the players will collectively complete the great migration...
According to the official statement of "Against the Cold Water", in the expansion pack "Destroying the World" that the game will be launched on January 20, the original pattern of the jianghu will usher in a huge change. The cause of this great change is that an "old acquaintance" on the jianghu brought great trouble, and then as a fuse to create a lot of turmoil in the jianghu, and then by people or natural disasters, so that the jianghu fell into the most severe situation in history! Under the crazy attack of countless enemies, the players of "Against the Cold Water" had to unite, break the "dimensional wall", and collectively enter a different world for refuge.
And this other world, is a huge map beyond all the previous scenes after the listing of "Against the Cold Water", according to the proportion of character buildings in the game, the other world gameplay map area is about 2400 square kilometers, which is full of extreme weather, powerful monsters, special events and even the test of terrain environment.
What is even more "heart-pounding" is that after the players cross into the other world, because of the impact of magnetic field changes and other influences, the original jianghu cultivation is scattered, and the martial arts are all lost, so they have to face the harshest environmental challenges in the most unfavorable situation, the giant tree cliffs that need to be climbed, the baptism of magma and storms, the powerful and mysterious hostile forces, etc., through their own efforts, little by little, they will re-accumulate strength in this other world. Open-world maps are vast but not empty, including many map devices and items such as camps, shrines, treasure chests, etc., everything can be interacted with, and even the harsh natural environment can sometimes become a "boost" for players. Heavy rain, sand, snowstorms and even volcanic eruptions will cause players to suffer damage, slow down, or reduce the light power point recovery, so when fighting with others, if you make reasonable use of the influence of the surrounding environment and weather, you may be able to do more with less and successfully challenge opponents who are stronger than yourself!
Unlike the traditional MMORPG numerical challenge, this otherworldly challenge is also more multi-layered. Players can only explore the initial circle at first, but as their martial arts improve, if they can successfully challenge the powerful guardian leader, they can unlock new circles for more risky exploration. As long as a team of players successfully challenges the guard leader of the current circle, all players can be "liberated" and can join forces to enter the next circle. It is worth noting that the new environment is bound to be more dangerous, and players still have to do what they can.
The new expansion pack of "Against the Cold Water" personally breaks the core numerical drive cage of the traditional MMORPG, turning the core of the player's game into an exploration of the world and a challenge to the environment, which not only meets the growth needs of players, but also becomes more "free" and "personalized". What do you think of the biggest change in the history of the game?
