When "Against the Cold" announced that the theme of the new expansion on April 11 was "horror", many players didn't care, after all, everyone is an old player, and they can be regarded as well-informed, compared with single-player games that emphasize the sense of atmosphere, how terrifying can MMO be?
And when the new version of the PVP gameplay mode was announced, players still couldn't help but gasp - this is too outrageous, right? It turns out that the official said that the new expansion is a horror game, and it is really not a joke!
The reason is very simple, the PVP gameplay of the new expansion pack of "Against the Cold" adopts a more exaggerated "deathmatch" mode than eating chicken, and the main focus is on a dangerous and non-ending death.
Players who have played "Against the Cold" know that digging ores in the decisive battle of Kunlun map is an important way to accumulate points and get treasure chests. In the current version, players play guards to get ores, focusing on a "sneaky", away from the crowd, and when no one is around, you can happily hand in the task. Although this mode is comfortable, it is somewhat lacking in the feeling of tension and excitement.
In the new version, if you want to get resources in the PVP map, you can defeat the treasure guards to get a mining pickaxe, and then exchange the mining pickaxe for resources, and the more mining pickaxes you get, the more rewards you will have.
While collecting Pickaxes, players will also be faced with two choices - either find guards to fight, or raid other players to loot more Pickaxes!
Players can keep at least one Pickaxe, and if you have more Pickaxes in your hand, you can pay three Pickaxes to travel to the "Dead Capital Region" on the second floor of the Kunluntai Ruins to participate in fiercer and more brutal fierce battles to obtain rarer and more valuable Gold Pickaxes.
After entering the Deathmatch map, players will not be constrained from attacking each other, and they will fight at any time. And the rules here are even more cruel than the first layer, as long as the battle is lost, the player will lose half of the pickaxe and be teleported directly out of the field, with no second chance.
In other words, through the scramble for the first layer of the map, players will be graded in the first round - those with more resources will be able to pay the pickaxe to enter the Deathmatch map. In the Deathmatch map, the game becomes more direct, and from the moment you enter the second-floor Deathmatch area, players can completely unsympathize with each other and frantically plunder the whole field, or be sent away by opponents who have the same idea as themselves.
This kind of rule is more intense and exciting than "eating chicken". After all, even if you reach the finals, players can still choose to survive, and the deathmatch map is a map where the strong take all the weak and have no chance to turn over, and only the most aggressive, most combative, and most experienced people can fight here to the end and get rich rewards.
Judging from the design of the rules of the game's PVP gameplay, the theme of the new expansion pack of "Against the Cold" is simply and directly refreshing and exciting. This design has also been unanimously affirmed by MMO veteran players.
Some players said: My combat genes are ready to move, and a man must enter the deathmatch map! Another player said: You can fight casually, and the rewards are good, you can get half of the loser's mine pickaxe, which one can refuse this kind of design!
Of course, in addition to the deathmatch mode, the new expansion pack of "Against the Cold" has more exciting PVE and interesting PVX gameplay waiting to be launched. So, what do you think of this deathmatch gameplay where the battlefield atmosphere comprehensively surpasses that of eating chicken?
