Chapter 204 Master Difficulty and Terra Construction Competition
It has been almost a month or so since the release of Terraria.
As word-of-mouth continues to grow, the game's sales have quickly exceeded the three million mark, and are still climbing towards higher sales.
Moreover, because of the ultra-high degree of freedom that comes with the sandbox game itself.
This makes Terraria extremely replayable.
Just a few days ago, the record of the number of people online at the same time among all the games currently online on Steam reached a record of 200,000!
This is undoubtedly a very scary number.
Er Xiao also completed the classic mode challenge with Xiao Shisan, and together with a group of water friends who were better at playing, the six of them embarked on a journey of pioneering the most difficult master mode.
The second time I played it was completely different from the first time I played it.
As soon as you enter the game, everyone has already completed a clear division of labor.
Lao Lu, Chang Wan, Xiao Shi San, and Wu Sheng Tui, who had relatively high game levels, were divided into two groups to explore the world on both sides.
I saw mushrooms, sunflowers, death grass and other good things on the road, so I picked them up by the way.
As for Goudan who is more colorful, there is Erxiao, an NPC who honestly works at home to build a... mansion!
The other one dug up Hell Express hard.
After quickly completing the first wave of primitive accumulation by smashing jars, exploring caves, etc., the arrival of merchants and bomb dealers quickly put the game on the fast track.
Many rabbits transformed into stewed rabbits, making outstanding contributions to the economic stress of this six-person team as water friends shouted "Cooking Saint".
"The attack power of these monsters in Master difficulty is unreasonably high. In Classic difficulty, they only scratched me for a dozen times. Now I have lost half of my HP after being touched."
"The water in the snow now also has a new cold effect, and it will slow down after walking into it."
"Be careful. After we go to the rotten land and blow up the shadow ball, and get the gun, we can try to challenge the Keye."
While everyone was having a heated exchange on how to play the game next, the hard-working classmate Erxiao was still waving his manuscript to find a way through.
Build a BOSS-fighting site, search the world for accessories that improve mobility, dig a large amount of iron ore underground, and make medicine...
It has to be said that although six people have improved the efficiency of the game, it has brought about an obvious problem: resources are a bit insufficient.
Mainly it’s a matter of accessories. Normal difficulty is okay, but in master mode it would be too difficult to defeat the enemy without a pair of running shoes or a hook.
That is to say, the master mode has been greatly improved in terms of explosion rate and money drop, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle.
The whole process of beating the BOSS was just like the BOSS with the best skills, which was madly outputting six times the blood volume, while Erxiao and Goudan kept running away and dying.
"Tell me about you, Erxiao, what are you really good for?"
Goudan was jumping up and down on the platform crazily while looking at Erxiao's tombstone and taunting him. But in the next second, he was bitten to death by Ke Yan who was sprinting very fast between stages.
"How are you better than me?"
Erxiao replied without hesitation.
"Two colored pens, stop talking and come back to life quickly, we won't be able to stand it anymore!"
The live broadcast room is filled with a happy atmosphere.
After quickly fighting off the Goblin invasion, Erxiao, who was lucky, successfully found the game's biggest profiteer underground - the Goblin merchant.
Everyone understands the astronomical number of gold coins required for recasting.
After successfully harvesting a large number of spiked balls from this place, although the AI of the master mode BOSS has been greatly adjusted, under the crazy relay running of corpses by several people, the black and straight World Devourer was killed by everyone. Down.
Equipment is updated and the game progress is gradually accelerated.
The laying of the world's railway tracks, the exploration of empty islands, and the great development of the world.
Fishing, growing vegetables, flying kites.
Defeated the queen bee, tortured the skeleton king, and the slime that was almost forgotten by everyone.
The entire early stage process of Terraria takes the longest time.
The last BOSS, the Wall of Flesh, commonly known as the Mountain of Flesh, is also the switch for the difficulty mode in the entire world.
The world of Terra before defeating the Strong of Flesh and the world after that were completely two levels of difficulty and two concepts.
It is also called "meat front" and "meat queen" by countless players.
I don’t know how many players thought they had successfully cleared the game after Wall of Flesh.
After returning home, wearing a hellstone suit and being severely tortured by powerful monsters from all over the world, I felt the panic and surprise.
In order to smoothly pass through the initial dangerous period after the meat, the six people did a lot of preparation work before the meat.
After ensuring that he could get through the dangerous period of the flesh queen immediately, he cruelly sacrificed Ji Dao and successfully summoned the wall of flesh and blood.
"Eat my bee grenade!"
Erxiao was running on the hell platform while feeling proud.
No skills are required, just build the platform long enough and then keep throwing bee grenades behind you. It's too simple.
"What kind of random killing combination? Erxiao is complicated and the others are responsible for the random killing."
"I still remember the tragic beginning of Erxiao's classic difficulty, when he was killed by monsters indiscriminately."
After defeating the Wall of Flesh and releasing the ancient soul of light and darkness, the game officially enters the later stage.
In the later period, the world of Terra lost a lot of the fun of exploration.
Your next task is to follow the process of the New Three Kings, Plantera, Stone Giant, Cultist, Four Pillars, and Moon Lord.
Defeat all the BOSS one by one, and the game journey will be over.
People with good skills will also defeat the Duke of Pig Shark immediately after the meat.
Of course, in the process, you will also experience events such as pirate invasions and solar eclipses.
Overall, the journey in Terraria is fun and exciting, especially with friends.
Seeing the six people finally successfully defeating the Moon Lord and officially announcing the end of the show, many water friends were quite reluctant to leave.
“Actually, I’m quite envious that the six of them, Erxiao, can get together and play games happily like this.
My friends who used to play games with me all have their own jobs and lives, and now I have less contact with them, hehe. ”
"Who says it's not the case? Seeing Er Xiao and the six of them together, cooperating with each other, and cheating on each other, it seems like I have returned to my childhood days."
"Some games cost 300 yuan and can be played for 36 hours. Some games cost 36 yuan and can be played for 300 hours."
"Three hundred hours? A thousand hours!"
It was also amid the lamentations of countless players about the passage of time and the never-to-be-returned happy days that the past happy days were gone. On July 6, the original intention was to join forces with Xiaopo Station to hold the first event after the launch of Terraria.
[Terra Architecture Competition]
put up.
As an important part of the entire Terraria gameplay.
Although the vast majority of players can only build humble dwellings like matchboxes, they are in the hands of a very few folk masters.
Those humble pixel blocks can be constructed into stunning and beautiful works of art.
In this architecture competition, the creators of the architecture need to find the note about #terraArchitectureContest# by themselves, and then choose to complete the upload.
In the first round of auditions, Xiaopo Station will use big data algorithms to place these videos on the homepage of users who have searched for Terraria.
Number of plays, number of likes, number of coins. All can become important factors affecting whether the work can be promoted.
After selecting an uncertain number of works with top data, the second round of voting will begin.
At that time, Xiaopo Station will release a separate interface about the "Terra Architecture Competition" on the official homepage.
All viewers can see the overall preview of the building and the corresponding video portal on this page. They can freely choose their favorite works to vote.
The prize for the first place is 100,000 yuan, and you can also get a free three-day trip to the Chuxin headquarters. In addition, there are a lot of gifts and peripherals.
The second place is 50,000, the third place is 30,000...
In addition, this activity is also held in Europe and the United States, which is operated separately from the domestic one.
As soon as this news came out, it naturally caused a burst of carnival in the Terra circle.
Originally, many architectural masters only created beautiful buildings because of their hobbies.
Now that hobbies can actually make money, great creative enthusiasm has exploded.
Classical, fairy tale, magic...
Correspondingly, as various styles of buildings were uploaded to Xiaopo Station, they won the love of the majority of Terra players.
Because the bonuses are so generous, more and more players and even non-players have begun to join this carnival.
Instructional videos such as "Teaching you step-by-step how to build a beautiful house in Terraria" have also begun to gain a lot of popularity.
Although most players also know that the top prize is definitely the exclusive domain of the construction boss, but what if it happens?
At this time, there was a communication group for salted fish players.
Erxiao: "Goudan, you want to compete? You don't even know how to join in the fun in prison?"
Goudan: “I can learn if I don’t know how.”
Chang Wan: "Good! Very energetic! I support you, Goudan!"
Goudan: "Your verbal support is of no use. Hurry up and support me with action. The thing I want to do is relatively big, and one person will definitely be too busy."
Mirror Wusheng commented: "You haven't even learned how to crawl, so you want to run away? You should first make an advanced version of the matchbox that can be read before you say this."
Goudan didn’t come here to show off to the group today.
He immediately shared what he wanted to do with the big guys in the group.
mirror Wusheng commented: "Count me in."
Chang Wan: "You wait, I will learn now."
Lao Lu: “Count me in too.”
Erxiao hesitated for a while, and finally said weakly in the group:
"Count me in, but when you upload it, don't add my name."
It is quite difficult for a few people to learn videos and then start from scratch.
But nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing, Goudan also specially invited professional composition artists to help with the design.
Soon, as the prototype of the building to be built was sketched out, the building was officially on track.
As time comes to August.
Goudan successfully uploaded the video in time for the registration deadline.
In fact, this kind of behavior will lead to disadvantages.
The earlier someone uploads it, the more people will see it, and the greater the chance of being shortlisted.
But there is also an advantage of nighttime broadcasts, that is, creators can have more events to refine their works.
Therefore, the peak period for video uploads is actually mid-July.
With the end of the first round of auditions, there are currently a total of 66 works left on the main page, and Goudan's architecture is among them.
As a first-time fan, Erxiao naturally cannot miss such a grand occasion.
As the voting began, the broadcast also attracted a group of water friends in the live broadcast room to start looking at the works of these architectural masters.
"Face the front line of the 'Terra Architecture Competition', let's see what the construction masters do... Damn it!"
The first piece of work that came into view made all the players in the live broadcast room, including Erxiao, exclaim in surprise.
Judging from the main structure of the house, it looks like an upright boot.
The long interior is divided into small rooms of different sizes. It looks like multiple matchboxes stacked on top of each other. There is nothing special about it.
What really makes people scream is the huge undead bone dragon behind the main building.
The frost torches, as well as the use of various wall coverings and circuit blurs are superb.
"Gitui, this is so handsome!"
"Actually, I think Matchbox is pretty good too."
Everyone was completely shocked by the unconstrained design ideas and hands-on abilities of these big guys.
Continue browsing, such as the Moon Tree, Yanguo Dragon, and super-realistic giant spaceship, which also left a deep impression on everyone.
Of course, players' preferences are also diverse.
Some people focus on details, some focus on design, and some believe that big is beautiful and more is good.
However, when Erxiao's mouse opened the work uploaded by Goudan, everyone in the live broadcast room fell silent.
An extremely huge boot, it’s impossible to see what it is in the game.
But when Goudan opened the mini map, with the zoom of the world, he finally saw the blurry appearance of this building clearly.
It is surprisingly a dark elf, one of the protagonists in the mirror, and the pixel depiction on the chest is even more important.
Open the long hand.
Letter to:
"Mr. Luo! It's time to release the mirror DLC!"
"Okay! This is good! Vote and let Mr. Luo see it."
"Indeed, various games released at the beginning of each year are constantly being promoted.
Some have DLC, some have speed-running competitions, and some have construction competitions. Are we, mirrors, stepmothers?
Angry! ”
"Mr. Luo! You have no heart! Brothers have been fooled by you for so long, aren't you going to give us a solution?"
Three days later.
Seeing a video with a sharp increase in the number of votes, Luo Bai wiped the non-existent sweat on his head.
"It's such a big departure, who brought up the old score again?"
I immediately decided to release the news about the upcoming Chuxin Game Festival in October to distract everyone.
