"This year's end game, one by one either equipment binding can not be sold, or PK has to go to the arena, the friction between players is at most just a war of words, there will be no gain and there will be no loss, everyone plays their own, no passion, just like work, it is not clear whether I play the game or the game plays me ..."
This is my once obsessive online game friend's evaluation of the current end of the game environment, to be honest, as long as the players who have experienced the era of online games will have a lot of resonance, this is the biggest pain point of online games today. He's right, but he's not entirely right.
Because just on April 1, NetEase has a game that is trying to change this situation and let end gamers regain the fun of the game. That's right, I'm talking about the Epic of Taia, which has just started the Pioneer Undelete test.
In this game, whether it is trading or PVP, it is very flavorful! Not only can you PK at will in the wild, but even in the dungeon, there is no restriction, and the word "binding" has never appeared in the game, as long as the character death equipment may explode. At the same time, every piece of equipment you get can be given new value by pricing it yourself, and you can even trade offline, just ask you what you smell right?
0 binding, redefining the value of equipment
In games, a piece of equipment can often carry many things, especially when it is "free". For example, when it is worn on the body, it is an increase in combat power; when it is traded, it is an equivalent commodity; when it is given and inherited, it is an emotional bond and symbol between players. And these are all things that "binding equipment" cannot do.
This time, "Taiya Epic" introduced a "no binding" setting, all equipment can be traded, can be given away, and can even be monetized. In this regard, the pleasure of obtaining the best equipment is not only the improvement of combat strength, it can also be the experience of getting rich overnight, and it can also be the double happiness of sharing to your brothers. This setting, while primitive, is more realistic and interesting.
Free stalls, reproducing fireworks in the market
The most important way to trade in The Epic of Taia is to set up a stall! I don't know when it started, the trading system in the game has become a cookie-cutter auction house, and there is no longer a player's call to buy and sell in the world channel, which is like the development of the e-commerce industry in recent years and the impact on the traditional industry, although everyone gets a more efficient experience, but loses the fireworks of bargaining with the boss in the night market. The same is true in the game, where time is saved, players play price wars on their own, and the transactions have completely lost their original temperature.
To be honest, the last time I saw so many people crowding into the city to set up stalls was the last time... I haven't seen a game where I can set up a stall for a long time, and this has always been one of the most classic ways to trade in the game! Every time I hit the best props, I will try to find the most conspicuous position in the city to set up a stall, and incidentally change the name of the stall to the name of the best props, so that even players who have no needs will stop and visit when passing by, this sense of achievement is something that those auction houses can never get today.
Need the best equipment, you can monetize it with one click
Give money first, or give goods first, this is the problem of offline transactions, because there is no effective guarantee, offline transactions often appear some extremely unpleasant events, if you go to the three-party trading platform, there will be a variety of scammers and cumbersome procedures waiting for you. And the Epic of Taia came up with a clever solution - the treasure cabinet.
As a first-hand trading platform for NetEase, treasure cabinet has a fairly high compatibility for each of its games, in "Taiya Epic", as long as you reach level 25, you can see the button of treasure cabinet in your backpack. This is undoubtedly the best answer for players who want to earn some pocket money in addition to gaming. Super convenient, one-click monetization.
Asymmetric setting, return to the original transaction
There are stalls and treasure cabinets, so there must be one-on-one transactions, right? The answer is: no!
Presumably, such a setting will definitely make many players wonder, but in fact, the official intention is very deep. Trading only in the treasure cabinet and stalls is not just a simple pursuit of retro, but can form an asymmetry of information, and finally form a real, most primitive trading environment.
In a new game, the transaction price of each piece of equipment is given by the player himself, and the world channel is always rolling with various transaction information dazzling, but as long as you are patient enough to spend some time wandering around the stalls, you will gradually understand the market price of each piece of equipment, if you often visit, you can also pick up a lot of cheap-priced treasures, and this, is not the most original "night market"?
The trading system with temperature in "Taiya Epic" is not simply a pursuit of cumbersome, it is more of a sentiment, a tribute to and inheritance of the golden age of end travel. As long as you are patient, you can experience the different happiness that the current common trading system cannot bring you. At the same time, the setting without binding also gives all equipment the possibility of monetization, coupled with the implantation of the treasure cabinet, it can escort all players to safely trade.
Overall, the "unbound" and "free trade" settings of the game "Taiya Epic" have earned us the reputation of the classic online game nostalgia party, if you are also a player with feelings for the end game, then this game is definitely worth trying!
