Hello everyone, I am Dr. X.
Just entering 2022, what concept is the hottest at the moment? The metacosm dared to say that it was the second, and no one dared to call it the first.
Not to mention those who sit on the top floor of the building all day to play technology, speculate in finance industry elites, even the food stalls where we usually go out shopping can give you a concept of a food meta-universe, just to fool you into buying a few more strings of stinky tofu skewers.
However, although there are many people who speculate in the metaverse at present, there are very few people who can make money from the concept of the metacosm, and there are even fewer honest children who can do a good job in the construction of the metacosm and promote the development of the metacosm step by step.
Let's say that Facebook's Zuckerberg, with a good CEO improper, is going to die in the meta-universe project, and as a result, he lost a full $40 billion, lost himself out of the top ten of the world's richest list, and evaporated $237.6 billion with the entire company, which is equivalent to giving 16 B stations to the chewing.
Looking at this, you may have to ask, since even Zuckerberg can't figure out the construction of the meta-universe now, then this concept is not equivalent to the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, is the trap used by those financial masters to cut leeks, the ultimate big project that we can't see in our lifetime?
To be honest, the metaverse is not a particularly sophisticated thing, and ArenaNet is on the MMORPG online game "Guild Wars 2" new DLC, which has created a future city that is most in line with the definition of the metaverse at this stage!
>>> the launch date of the new DLC national service of "Guild Wars 2" will be announced soon!
Key point one: cyberpunk, intelligent weapon crisis, wild beasts, compatible with all the fierce battle 2 yuan universe!
At present, the more popular metaverse on the Internet is defined as a virtual reality space parallel to the real world, in which users can study, work, make friends, shop, travel and all other social actions that can be realized in reality.
That is to say, the metaverse must have the ability to accommodate all the activities and cultural elements of real life, and also need to realize the transformation from reality to virtual, so that we can wear a VR device like "Ready Player One" to let go of our imagination and do whatever we want in the metaverse!
In Dr. X's view, this time the new DLC dragon desperate situation that will be updated by "Guild Wars 2" will have a bit of a taste of the MMO meta-universe.
In this MMO meta-universe, you can ride the velociraptor, griffin, flying scale dragon and other wild beasts, shuttle between high-rise buildings:
You can also build your own high-tech robot and have fun in the cyberpunk-rich city of New Kaining:
Will he even experience a crisis of intellectual weapons and discuss the problem of "weak flesh and blood, mechanical ascension"?
As for the magic fighting spirit, forest spirit, lost civilization and other elements commonly found in the Western magic system, they are also readily available and available in the new DLC of Guild Wars 2!
Of course, ArenaNe designers have not forgotten the dragon slaying main line that has lasted for ten years, and arranged a super dragon that can instantly submerge a great empire with seawater, allowing players to experience the most dangerous "dragon desperation" in history!
In short, looking at the series of new DLC promos released by Guild Wars 2, Dr. X would like to call it "the strongest MMO meta-universe masterpiece of 2022"!
After all, put cyberpunk, wild beasts, intelligent crisis, magic fighting, evil dragons... These popular elements are all mixed together, and just imagining the collision and connection between them is enough to make people rub their hands with excitement.
Key Point 2: Imperial Sword Immortals VS Japanese Sword Drawing? Comparable to the ultimate melee scene of "Runaway Player"!
In another metaverseal Out of Control movie, the male protagonist Played by the little, Ryan Reynolds, has shown us the unique magic of the meta-universe, that is, we can freely collect props, and launch the Guan Gong Battle Qin Qiong anytime and anywhere, or captain America's magic battle of Mario.
In the new DLC of Guild Wars 2, players can easily achieve the magic fight of "Imperial Sword Immortal VS Japanese Sword Drawing" with the help of the new specialization system.
(Imperial Sword Immortals)
As for whether the Imperial Sword Technique under our Oriental Occult System has higher damage, or is the Sword Drawing Technique improved by using steam technology more domineering? This question has to be left to everyone to find the answer in the game on their own.
(Knife extraction)
At the same time, we can also fire ultra-long-range laser cannons with the Gundam:
Or with the help of the amplification of certain potions, break through the limits of the human body, use the strength of the flesh and the martial arts to learn, and confront the wild beasts head-on...
The most crucial thing is that the new DLC of Guild Wars 2 does not set very hard rules and restrictions for this MMO metaverse, but instead leaves a "program BUG" for each player, so that everyone can achieve true freedom of creation by constantly modifying a small jade robot called Jade bolt.
With the power of some of the tool tables on some maps, the player can not only modify the Jade bolt to automatically recover and build aerial ropeways, but also control this small robot to explore unknown dangerous areas:
Even controlling Jade Bolt to perform some field rescue activities and resurrect teammates who fell to the ground, this has a bit of the taste of intelligent robots in "Super Marines", and I don't know if ArenaNet designers have plans to develop Jade bolts into the field of artificial intelligence.
Post-lesson summary:
As the saying goes, freezing three feet is not a cold day, and the super classic magic masterpiece "Guild Wars 2" can show players some of the characteristics of the meta-universe in the new DLC, and it is also the result of the ten years of efforts of ArenaNet designers to continuously subvert the traditional MMORPG.
In this game world that breaks all the planning, we don't need to brush the dungeon explosion equipment day after day, there is no specific daily task to clean up, and even the class has broken through the limitation of the "War Method Pastoral", you can switch from a mage to a tank BD with one click, you can play how you want, and it is really naturally compatible with the concept of part of the metaverse.
Perhaps, ten years ago, Guild Wars 2 was planted by the designers to plant the seeds of the meta-universe, and now the arrival of the new DLC Dragon is the best time for it to blossom.
