Nearly six months after its launch, the veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold" has become an unstoppable miracle in the history of online games.
This game was born in "danger", originally NetEase was forced to implement an alternative in order to cope with the "World of Warcraft" national server shutdown, from the game project to the launch of just over two months, at that time was almost not favored by players. However, less than a month after the game was launched, it attracted millions of players, not only a large number of Warcraft players, but also many martial arts game enthusiasts, not to mention PDD and other returning bigwigs.
More importantly, the veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold" also successfully reversed the brand's reputation in a very short period of time. Previously, when it was mentioned "against the water cold", the player's first reaction was "there is a mine at home to play", and now when it comes to "against the water cold", everyone's first reaction is "now very conscientious", which can make such a big change in the attitude of players, which is even more unexpected.
In the face of the miracle created by the veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold", the players themselves can't believe it.
Some people feel that the veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold" can create such a miracle because the current MMO market is too low, and players have no new games to play.
Some people also feel that the veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold" can get the support of so many players because of the adoption of a very conscientious operation model, and the official service attitude is directly full, so as to achieve the players' "responding to needs".
Frankly speaking, these are the key factors for the success of the veteran uniform, but more importantly, the key to the miracle of the veteran uniform in Against the Water has more to do with the fact that it is a "resurrected" game.
"Against the Water and Cold" was originally a martial arts online game with the best picture performance and the richest gameplay mode on the market, thanks to the relatively late launch time, it brings together many entertainment modes of MMOs, and attracts many players with extremely high immersion and positive update iterations.
However, the original gameplay mode of "Against the Water and Cold" may not be suitable for everyone.
The most playable content in Against the Water was the "Reforge" system. The system plays the rare entry mode of props like fire, as long as players collect enough equipment and good entries, they can combine up to 6 rare terms of peerless divine weapons through continuous creation.
This mode of creating top-level equipment through continuous creation is very playable, but it also means that the equipment data between players will be pulled apart to a greater extent.
After the launch of "Against the Water and Cold", many local tycoons used unimaginable financial resources to search for all the rare equipment that could be traded on the market, and then put it into forging without thinking, once creating the myth of "one piece of equipment is worth a Ferrari", and also firmly welded the notoriety of "having a mine at home to play" firmly welded to the body of "Against the Water and Cold".
Frankly speaking, although equipment forging is "krypton gold", it is completely dominated by the market, and the price is also the result specified by the players themselves. But this mode helplessly makes the vast majority of ordinary players become eternal "laggards", as cruel as real life. Therefore, "Against the Water and Cold" is inevitably spit on by players.
The veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold" resolutely cut off the cash cow of "equipment reforging", and instead adopted a pure point card system season-based model. All equipment in the game must be obtained by replica bosses or battlefield ranks, and the value of equipment is completely fixed, ensuring that all players are on the same level.
This mode makes many local tyrant players who are accustomed to "krypton gold can become stronger" very different, and even some local tyrants with krypton gold tens of millions directly shouted the official in the post bar, saying that this "can't pull the difference at all" game is not fun. But for the vast majority of ordinary players, this mode is what they really need, and it is the most authentic appearance of an online game.
After all, online games themselves are virtual worlds for players to dream about.
Lost the former "cash cow", but got unprecedented support in the history of online games, the miracle of the success of the veteran uniform of "Against the Water and Cold", to put it bluntly, is to return to the heart of online games, so that all players can enjoy the fun of the game itself at a fair and just starting line.
This may not be an inspiration for the current game market.
