The years when PUBG swept the world created a world-class impact.
At that time, watching the live broadcast, eight out of ten anchors were "eating chicken", and major game manufacturers also saw the potential of battle royale games and went to do chicken eating games.
Facts have proved that the phrase "good money expelling bad money" at least makes sense in the end circle, and in recent years, "PUBG" has basically been played by no one, after all, the strength of the blue hole crackdown on plug-ins is understood by everyone.
On the contrary, rising stars such as "Fortnite" and "Apex" are getting better and better, especially "Apex", which has been at the forefront of popularity on Twitch, and the player growth in the past two years has been very rapid.
The first two days also happened to be the day of the settlement of the "Apex" season, and as a result, in these few days, the entire game environment underwent unexpected changes.
Suddenly, those big anchors seem to have begun to "roll up", and some anchors who used to broadcast live for several hours a day were a whole day.
From 23:00 the first day to 20:00 the next day ▼
After looking at it, I realized that they were for a title in the game called "Top Hunter".
The ranking mechanism in Apex is that players can earn points in each game by killing enemies to improve their rankings, etc., and after the points are accumulated, they can improve their rank.
You can earn up to 250 points ▼in a match
In the game, there are six large segments from bronze to master, and each segment has four sub-segments, reaching more than 10,000 points, which is the "master" position, and as long as the large segment is reached, it will not drop again.
In addition, don't think that as long as you play more points, you must know that "Apex" in the qualifying game is to charge "ticket money", the higher the level, the more it costs, the master will play a game to 60 points, that is, the full score of the master segment will get up to 190 points.
If a person who is unlucky enough to go in and does nothing is beaten to death, it is directly -60 points.
The top hunters are also strictly speaking masters, but this title is far from being comparable to the "master" rank, because it can only be obtained by the top 750 players in the full server.
Therefore, these anchors will continue to play after reaching the master to fight for the title of hunter, after all, the anchor still has this line of noodles.
According to the previous season data, as long as there are about 18,000 points, you can keep the title of hunter.
However, this season someone found a bug that allowed PC players to go to the NS server to play games and get points.
Playing this kind of shooting game, the key rat player playing Joy-Con player is really slaughtering pigs, unless the strength difference is particularly large, otherwise in general, the key rat player is dominant.
As a result, if you want to win the title of "Hunter Hunter" this season, players must have at least 22400 points.
You can imagine the mood of the 751 guy, just one point away, he can get the title of hunter, but now he is just a "master" like thousands of people behind him.
This has led to the fact that the anchors, who originally broadcast eight or nine hours a day, had to roll all night at the end of the season, because if he stopped, others would soon overtake him.
If that's all there is to it, when there is less than 1 hour left in the season settlement, Apex's server has also been attacked by DDoS, and many anchors who are qualifying for the game have suddenly broken the line and lost a large wave of ticket points.

Because of persistent DDoS attacks
I can't play the game anymore
DDoS attacks have always been criticized by players for Apex, and even the servers of a professional match have been attacked, resulting in nearly 1 hour of a game that was originally played every 20 minutes.
And now, the closer it gets to the end of the season, the more frequent DDoS attacks become, and the more difficult the runners' path to breaking points is.
Some anchors on Twitch even specifically called friends to go to the server with fewer queues, and when they arrived, they directly landed on the ground to fight and get points, so as not to suddenly drop the line and lose the "ticket points".
For the title of a hunter, the anchors have been rolled in for dozens of hours, and even DDoS attacks have forced the anchors to find "actors" in full view, which is really a strange scene I have never seen before.
Bad friends who play the game should feel that most of the games that are popular on the market now will have a competitive element.
Its intuitive embodiment is the rank and ranking mechanism, such as "Harry Potter: Magic Awakening", "Glory of the King", "Decisive Battle heian Kyo", "Peace Elite" and other mobile games.
In games with a ranking system, once the player has reached a certain level, as long as they do not continue to play, they can stabilize in this position before the end of the season and receive a settlement reward.
This setting is actually humane for players, giving players a clear goal to chase, such as this season to take which position of the reward to play slowly, before the end of the season can be achieved.
But later the game manufacturers found that something was wrong, these players reached the desired position in advance after the Buddhist system, the number of active people at the end of the season was low, what can I do?
As a result, some manufacturers have launched some rankings with quota restrictions, such as the glory mark of a single hero in "Glory of the King", and the highest national uniform is strongest only a small number of people can get it.
Originally, the dan position was there, generally as long as the player's level was enough, how could a season be played.
Now this thing has a "limit", or a point ranking system, you don't beat people are still playing, people's scores are higher than you will squeeze you down, which is equivalent to playing in vain before.
As a result, players suddenly "rolled up" and tried to "protect" their own rankings, and the means can be described as all-purpose.
For example, find stable teammates, find thighs, or even directly find substitutes to play their own numbers, find actors to deliberately lose to themselves.
There is a hero "Yao" in "Glory of Kings", because it is assisted by no attack means, it is difficult to play a very eye-catching performance.
Some players will spend a lot of money to find substitute training, and find actors in the high sub-bureau to deliberately lose to themselves to "eat points".
Other heroes are all "technology rankings", except for Yao's national service combat strength rankings, which are jokingly called "Yaobus rankings" and "wealth lists".
To say that these game manufacturers for the player's "vanity" this piece is really pinched to death, as long as a vain ranking, can let rich players throw money, powerful players smash the liver, willing to fight.
And the more players "roll" the more powerful, the greater the manufacturer's income, whether you contribute money or activity, the manufacturer will certainly not lose.
Players themselves can only get this title that lasts for one season, and they have to start all over again next season.
Speaking of this, I suddenly found that this is so similar to some situations in reality, and I can't help but feel a little emotional.
Sometimes, it's not bad to be a salted fish with peace of mind.
