In the past ten years, "World of Warcraft" has been firmly on the throne of "MMO brother", and players never thought that its status could be replaced until the emergence of "Against the Water and Cold" veteran uniform.
Because of the breakdown of the agency negotiations between Blizzard and NetEase, the "World of Warcraft" national server was forced to close, and in order to cope with the impact of Warcraft's closure, NetEase chose its "Against the Water and Cold" baton, which had the best picture performance and the strongest technical power, and asked them to overhaul the game system with the help of the former Warcraft team, and completely customize the content according to the needs of Warcraft players.
The most attractive thing about the veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold" is undoubtedly its extremely conscientious setting, the game adopts pure point card charging and season-based gameplay mode, greatly simplifying the character development system, all equipment needs to be obtained through in-game gameplay such as quests and battlefields, and pick up bindings, attribute fixation.
Civilian players can pay up to 54 yuan per month to keep up with the graduation of the army god costume. With these people-friendly characteristics, the veteran uniform has attracted more than one million players in just over 60 days since it was launched, and there is a single server queue of nearly 20,000 data, and there is no doubt that the fire has become the "MMO new brother" and successfully completed the task of taking over Warcraft.
It stands to reason that a game that "rushes to the horse" can achieve such achievements, which can already be described as a "miracle". But what people didn't expect was that the ambition of the veteran suit of "Against the Water and Cold" obviously did not stop there, and it seemed to want to truly become "the second World of Warcraft".
This is undoubtedly revealed from the latest new season trailer of the "Against the Water and Cold" veteran uniform.
Since its launch, the veteran uniform has said that he will learn "World of Warcraft", adopt a season-based update mode, and use more phased goals to balance the gap between players, so that ordinary players can catch up with the army as much as possible and enjoy the fun of the game itself. The frequency of season-based updates is promoted by the frequency of three seasons per year. In other words, the veteran uniform, which officially launched on January 13, will usher in its first season update in May.
In this season update, the "Against the Water" veteran uniform not only launched a new class, but also added a large number of new quests and new gameplay, covering a wide range of PVP, PVE and equipment system changes, and the amount of content is so abundant that it is jaw-dropping.
According to the official statement of the veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold", the biggest highlight in the new season is the addition of the "Hongyin" profession. As the ninth class in "Against the Water and Cold", Hongyin has always been praised by players as the "son of the development team", not only has the highest appearance of all genres, but is also a team battle core that integrates assistance and output, has a flying form and combines with other players for strong BUFF blessings. Many players thought that this most popular Hongyin profession would not land in the veteran uniform until at least the first anniversary, but they did not expect to meet her so soon. Its significance is no less than that of the "Death Knight" online.
In addition to the Hongyin profession, the PVE gameplay content that Warcraft players are most concerned about has also been greatly optimized and blessed. In the new season, three six-player quests will be launched in one go, and players will meet the daily needs of players. A new team quest "Kunlun Virtual" will also be launched, which will make the game's quest experience more like World of Warcraft through a comprehensive rework of the old boss system and the design of the new boss "White Stone Mother".
And the official revealed that the Kunlun virtual copy is the first large-scale 12-person group developed after the original Warcraft R&D team joined, which will undoubtedly make Warcraft players more excited.
In terms of PVP, there are also many "new tricks" in the new season, and the well-received martial arts chicken-eating gameplay "Decisive Battle Floating Boat Island" in the official service and the hearty fast-paced battlefield "Decisive Battle Xinglan" will be registered in the veteran uniform, which is also the content of many players' hearts.
The 6V6 squad dart and gang declaration gameplay that were previously mentioned by players on social media such as Tieba were also officially announced, representing that the veteran uniform official has been paying attention to the dynamics of players, taking player needs as the core to prepare game content and achieve "co-creation of rivers and lakes".
With so much content prepared in the first season update, the conscience of the veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold" needless to say, and the official attitude will obviously shock players even more. According to the official statement, the veteran uniform is by no means a temporary replacement for Warcraft, but the ultimate solution for the project team and even the entire NetEase Group to serve MMO players for a long time - in the future, the veteran uniform will maintain this order of magnitude of content update every new season, and the long-term planning of the game has also been completed, which will definitely bring you a world of rivers and lakes with diverse gameplay and rich content.
As the official statement of "Against the Water and Cold", if the veteran uniform can really maintain this long-term plan, it is undoubtedly equivalent to "rebuilding" a "World of Warcraft". What do you think about this "ambition"?
