Chapter 169 New arms, new mechanism
Eyeworms are a special unit among the Zerg.
The price of its nest is naturally quite expensive, with the price of one nest reaching 500,000 energy devourers.
Even if Jiang Yao is rich and powerful now, he can't help but feel a little pain in his body with this kind of energy-devouring power.
But if he wanted to get higher-level units, whether it was an eyeworm nest or a poisonous baneling nest, Jiang Yao had to arrange it.
"I didn't expect the production efficiency of this Euglena nest to be so low." Looking at the situation of the Euglena nest at this moment, Jiang Yao couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
Only two eyeworms can be produced in a day, but according to Jiang Yao's estimation, players will most likely not buy it.
Even if it is purchased, only a very small number of players may spend money to buy it.
After all, in war games like this, players probably think that going to the battlefield and fighting in various ways is the real fun.
As for Mission: Impossible or Investigation Intelligence, it is estimated that most players will not be interested in them. After all, there is an old saying that an assist that does not want to output is not a good assist.
From this we can see the important position of output in the hearts of players.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao quickly discovered a new problem, that is, the Zerg troops are very complete, not only offensive, but also auxiliary.
Each different type of arms cooperates with each other to create a powerful Zerg army.
"If players only want to play offensively and ignore the auxiliary skills, this is a big problem." Thinking of this, Jiang Yao couldn't help but start thinking about how to solve the stunted situation he was about to face.
If you have fewer auxiliary units in your hand, you will encounter some special wars.
If those auxiliary units are killed, something big will happen.
Especially when the opponent has some invisible units, and there are only one or two eyeworms at home, and then they are killed by others, then won't the opponent's invisible units carry everyone?
Although there are still relatively few civilizations in this universe that have perfect stealth technology, it is not ruled out that one day you may not be lucky enough to encounter it.
"We must find a way to allow players to voluntarily purchase these auxiliary units."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao also started to think about it.
At this moment, on the other side, players are mining crazily in the mining area.
"Damn it, brothers, I have to say that this planet is really rich in resources."
"Isn't that right? When I was in Novice Village, I discovered a troll mining area and an alien mining area. Looking at the density of ores in those mining areas, I was thinking that they might be the most dense mining areas in the game."
"But when I came here, I admitted that I was hasty."
"What is a pile of ores? What is a pile of ores? This is it!"
"No wonder these cockroaches are transporting truckloads of cockroaches out, it's so dense."
"After this round of digging, I feel that our troops can be upgraded to another level."
"That's right. Although we are still at a loss on the main battlefield, this mining area alone can make up for our deficit."
While the players were still talking about it, an announcement in the chat channel caught their attention.
"Brothers, look at the announcement. It has been updated again."
"Updated again. Should we stop the service or update without stopping the service?"
"The service will not stop, and some new features have been added in the update."
"Let me take a look at what it is."
With that said, all the players clicked on the announcement out of curiosity.
The first thing that catches the eye is the announcement of new military units.
"There's a new unit, and I haven't even bought the Hydralisk yet."
"This new unit seems to be an auxiliary unit, used for reconnaissance and stealing intelligence. Mimicry only has no attack power."
"This thing belongs to a space soldier and can fly in space."
"What's the use of flying? It has no attack power, brothers."
"It should be possible once it evolves." One player said uncertainly.
"It should be there after it evolves, but I'm thinking it might not be particularly strong. This thing should be just like the worker bee. After evolution, the development direction will be biased toward assisting."
In this way, players have been talking about this new unit. All in all, most players think that the new unit is very useful.
After all, the role of this auxiliary unit on the battlefield will never be inferior to that of any offensive unit.
But the psychology of most players is like this. If it is useful, I just won’t buy it.
Alas, I just play.
Compared to auxiliary units such as Euglena, players prefer offensive units that can burst.
"By the way, brothers, have you seen another new feature?"
"You see, it's a guild function."
"Don't many games have this thing? Register a guild and bring a group of people together." One player said indifferently. "I don't think it's that simple." At this moment, the Emperor Penguin said.
"Although on the surface, this is just an ordinary guild function, and many games have been released since the beginning, the nature of this game is completely different from other games."
"Understand that the evolution points in this game can be linked to the real soft girl coins. This time, in addition to adding the guild function, a guild ranking function has also been added."
"The monthly ranking of the union will be calculated based on the merit points obtained by each guild member. The guild ranking first can open a special union store."
"Although there are purchase restrictions on the props in the union's special store, every member can purchase them."
"That is to say, if a guild dominates the rankings for a long time, the gap between it and other guilds will become wider and wider."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
"I took a look, and it was about this guild store. In each issue, 5 items will be randomly produced, and each guild member can choose one of these 5 items to purchase."
"In addition to the regular arms, there are also opportunities to get discounted purchase coupons, discounted evolution coupons and other rare items."
After hearing what the Emperor Penguin said, other people would naturally understand what it meant.
In order to prevent one guild from dominating the rankings for a long time, Jiang Yao also set restrictions on these guilds. The initial recruitment limit for union members is 100 people.
When the guild's contribution reaches a certain level, the maximum number of members in the guild can be increased by consuming a large amount of evolution points.
Through these restrictions, some relatively powerful guilds cannot immediately open up a large gap with other guilds, giving other guilds a chance to catch up.
In this game, it’s not that the more krypton gold you earn, the more merit points you get.
You need to complete tasks, you need to trigger hidden tasks or defeat a large number of enemies.
In order to surpass the stronger guilds, some middle-ranked guilds will definitely constantly look for enemies to attack and gain merit points by defeating them.
And what is the most efficient way to find the enemy? Isn’t that just the one who bought eyeworms?
Moreover, Jiang Yao has added a union function this time, which not only allows players to buy eyeworms, but also has another purpose.
That is to change the current status of player combat.
Work together to defeat the enemy, and then everyone points out evolution points after making up for the losses.
This model seems very reasonable, but it will make players lack competition and make some players lose their fighting spirit and passion for playing games.
They spend most of their time mining. If there is no mine left, they may just wander around, waiting for a large-scale war to make a profit.
But if you ask them to go out and actively look for monsters on their own, many players will not be happy because they will have to bear the battle losses by themselves.
Moreover, Jiang Yao also saw the problems in such a distribution plan, which was very unfair to some Kryptonians.
The contributions made by others should be deducted from the total evolutionary points, but what about now? It will be deducted only after the battle damage has been compensated.
Many times it is even said that there will be situations where there are no evolution points for them to deduct, and even if there are some deductions, they will not be able to score much points.
It doesn't matter in the short term, because now everyone is having fun together.
But over time, some people will always feel unbalanced. Just imagine that in a game like this, I might kill 20 to 30% of the monsters, but in the final score, there would be no evolution at all.
If it weren't for the reward of merit points, Jiang Yao would have probably already had a rich man step forward.
Just like when you play a game, you just start playing with everyone. Maybe you get more points when you go out to kill monsters and so on, and everyone thinks it doesn't matter if I get less points.
But as time goes by, you will always suffer. No matter who you are, everyone will have resentment in their hearts.
But things are different after you have a guild. First of all, everyone has a different feeling when playing together in the guild. Secondly, everyone's efforts can also be rewarded accordingly, which is the guild store.
After the ranking is established, players will also have a sense of comparison among themselves, and everyone is willing to pay a little more for their guild to strive for that ranking.
In addition, since you become the guild leader, it is very simple to organize the members to go out to play and go out to kill monsters. Has this become your job?
If you don't organize activities for a long time, people will think that your guild is not interesting and leave on their own.
With the guild leader out to organize, the first point is that he can exercise his commanding ability. If there is a problem with the second point, the battle damage will most likely be borne by the guild leader.
In this case, many players will not need to go out for large-scale battles, and there may be more or less small-scale battles in normal times.
Of course, apart from this, there is another more important point.
That is a battle damage distribution mechanism. For example, when all players have their own guilds.
In the subsequent large-scale battles, will these guilds each make up for their own battle losses, and will their own spoils be divided among their own people?
It won't be as hodgepodge as it is now.
Just like in a large-scale battle, who is responsible for the frontal battlefield and who is responsible for cutting in from behind.
The several guilds responsible for the frontal battlefield will definitely share the spoils of the frontal battlefield.
The person responsible for cutting from behind must be several guilds who cut from behind to share the spoils equally.
After that, the casualties of your own guild will be compensated for what should be compensated, and then divided accordingly.
In this way, no one will feel that it is unbalanced. Although no matter how you play, the rich will still get less points in the end.
But this feels different.
