It has been a thousand years since the Journey to the West team returned from study, and the Quicksand River, which once imprisoned the "Rolling Curtain General" Sha Wujing, has now become a "banishment place" for violating players...
Looking at the April 11 maintenance preview, there is a clause about the Quicksand River penalty rules - characters cannot be listed during the punishment period, and life-killing incense cannot be used when the experience is negative.
Preview content is maintained on April 11
Regarding the penalty rules for these two adjustments, I personally say that I applauded my hands. Some people say: Isn't this what the jianghu is like? Some people say: Fighting, killing and killing is the jianghu! I admit that the big talk also needs PK, and it also needs means to solve personal grievances, but many people forget about ordinary players who are sneaked in for no reason.

Once Chang'an West gathered PK, I remembered a very ridiculous thing: at that time, the Chang'an West City Gate was a ring for martial arts to recruit relatives, and I remember that there was a player there to compete and recruit relatives - all kinds of world shouts to promote. I'm also a hilarious person who drives my little male demon to see the hilarity. As a result, too many people have caused disputes. A group of people who were still making noise in the competition ring just now moved directly to Chang'an West to kill, which was very convenient.

The current PK is not simple. For example, there will be a special "PK player" looking for various gangs to collect "protection fees", do not pay? Then slaughter your ordinary gang and see how you develop! Moreover, undertaking various grievances to deal with, it has become a "jianghu organization" in the journey to the west.
Selling yourself to sneak attack, kill gangs (network map)
These players have their own theoretical knowledge system for sneak attacks, have their own character equipment building plans, and rely on their own desire and impulse for "fighting". Once a gang or a single player is targeted, it can seriously affect their gaming experience. For example, give you a look when you run the fifth ring, and give your team another look when you team up.

The individual or gang that is threatened also adopts various counterattack strategies for this purpose - to hire other capable players to kill in the opposite way! And once the event continues to develop, it will affect the entire server. Such as the Crystal Palace incident, the Ling Yan Pavilion incident and so on. The employment relationship is actually a relationship of interests, and it is inevitable that some people are "fueling the waves" behind this.

The end result is that capable players are drawn into various disputes. Ordinary players are worried about being involved in the fight at any time and panic for a long time! Some of the top teams are even more defensive against sneak attacks from a certain purpose and prevent the astrolabe from falling - that will seriously affect the state of the competition. To this end, the official has updated many adjustments to the penalty - strengthening the ability of the Celestial Soldier, limiting the number of times the Death Incense is used, increasing the vitality consumption when the Life-Killing Incense is used, extending the prison time, increasing the punishment after affecting the player's experience, and so on.
This adjustment is also for this reason, and it is impossible to use the incense endlessly. Punishment and being killed will lose experience, if you want to go to malicious sneak attack, go to hang up to upgrade it! And the character can't be listed on the treasure cabinet during the punishment period, which basically cuts off some people's idea - I was punished twice and then went to the grid to change the number and continue to kill.
For the adjustment of PK gameplay, it is necessary to retain the "fun" of this gameplay, but also to take into account the feelings of ordinary players, which is not an easy task in itself. What do the old irons think about malicious killing, collecting protection fees, etc.?
