Hello everyone, I'm Little Zero~
The day before yesterday, after the Blizzard press conference announced that the WLK nostalgic suit will cancel the dungeon finder, it triggered a heated discussion among everyone.
Among the players who agreed to cancel the random version, most of them believed that it was the emergence of the random book that made the social interaction between Warcraft players begin to become blurred, and eventually evolved into a game mode similar to the current single-player game. As a large-scale social online game, the communication and interaction between players is a very important part of the gameplay. So when the social link gradually disappears from the world of Warcraft, it can also be understood as the beginning of warcraft to the destruction.
But! One thing we have to figure out is that the presence of random books doesn't limit social interaction between players. Even with random books, players can continue to speak freely using The Secret Language, The Regional and World Channels, and even the Guild Channel.
The reason why players believe that the "random version" ruined the social network of Warcraft is because in the WLK version of that year, World of Warcraft ushered in the first wave of "ebb and flow" in history. As players gradually left World of Warcraft, the previously lively guilds gradually became deserted, and most of the fixed teams began to "lack major generals". In this case, if you want to team up to play a 5-person book, the best way is to "random book". Slowly, the "random book" became a mainstream, and the social relationship centered on team brushing became more and more loose, and even lost its necessity. Such a change makes many players think that the emergence of "random books" has diluted the connection between players. But unbeknownst to them, the fundamental reason why players began to rely on "random books" is that they can no longer form or are difficult to form a 5-person team.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that the vast majority of those players who left the World of Warcraft in that year should not be because of some of the mechanics of Warcraft. But because you are about to graduate from college, or just graduated for a year or two, it is the right time to stand at a turning point in your life. After all, the year 2010 when WLK was launched was the fifth year that Warcraft entered China, and if you started entering Azeroth in high school, then this period is exactly when you are close to graduating from college. There were so many new players in the TBC period of the 10,000 years, which should also be attributed to the convenient game environment during the university period.
Back to the topic. Even if the "random book" destroys the interaction between the Warcraft players of that year, then in the current nostalgic suit, is the "random book" really still a mechanism that cannot be tolerated? The player base of nostalgic clothes now is completely different from that of that year. Players who used to like to play in groups have long been for the sake of being a member of a family or a leader at work. They have less and less time and energy to devote to the game, so they slowly become a "lone wolf player" who mixes up the stones, or a stable guild "Invisible Man".
So for such a group of players, can the "random book" provide a convenient and efficient way to team up? Don't hang a tank or heal into a group like this, hanging in the collection stone for a night or shouting through the throat of the world channel. And after WLK, there are so many copies, the whole map is so big, and the teleportation and hearthstone of each main city are not as convenient as the current official clothes. So when the time comes, the "random book" will definitely save players a lot of time.
Since the benefits of the "random book" are so many, why are so many people applauding after the cancellation of the "random book"? In this regard, Xiao Zero believes that the favorite to cancel the "random book" should be GZS and those "brush" players. Because after having a "random book", you can brush the book while doing tasks, and the upgrade speed will definitely have a qualitative change. As a result, the number of players who practice and stand up for pile upgrades will drop sharply, which will have a great impact on their income. Just like on a treasure now, the formal service generation training to the full level is only a few dozen pieces, and the level of upgrade difficulty will directly affect the price of these services. Not only that, but GZS's aviation business will also be hit hard.
Small Zero Summary:
To sum up, the "random book" should be more beneficial than harmful to the current player base. After all, players with many friends can directly ignore this mechanism, while lone wolves and casual players can use this feature very well. In the nostalgic costume that has long been blurred by "social", the emergence of "random book" will not make it worse, but will bring enthusiasm to live lone wolf players. But it is such a function that Blizzard is directly buried in the snow. Why did Blizzard, who had been advocating "original taste" before, suddenly make such a decision? From such a decision, can we assume that the WLK nostalgic suit will not be an "original" version, but a version that has undergone a wave of magic modifications?
So what are your thoughts on dungeon finders? Raise your hands in support, or are you upset and helpless?
