My players are all actors

Chapter 39 The Real Ranger

in the afternoon.

Du Gang is still worrying about today's report.

As a special service team leader of the special department, his mission is to investigate the mysterious game "Dark Sand".

As long as the investigation progresses, a new report is submitted to the higher authorities every day.

After clearing the Assassin Trial, he has written the whole process of clearing the trial in detail in the report, and made some analysis on the game "Dark Sand" and this mysterious company.

But these are far from enough.

Originally thought that he would be the No.1 player who passed the Assassin Trial, and he would definitely be able to connect with the official, but he didn't expect that the official was quite cold, and there was no contact other than sending him a message.

Du Gang also tried to reply to this message, trying to contact the game's customer service, but he didn't get a response at all.

I had no choice but to think of other ways and continue the investigation.

I woke up this morning and glanced at the official website of "Dark Sand", and found that all four trial copies had been compromised.Logically speaking, today's report has been settled.

As long as we analyze the situation of these four dungeons and come up with some ideas, we should be able to make a difference.

But after all, Du Gang is older than the average players, and his professional knowledge in history and other aspects is not very strong, so he racked his brains for a whole morning, but he still didn't have a clue, and couldn't think of anything new. angle.

"I'd rather do ten field trips than write a report, oh, headache!

"If only someone could write this for me."

Du Gang was smoking a cigarette with a sad look on his face.

The most troublesome thing for him is to write reports. If it is a usual report, it is handed over to a special pen in the group to complete it, and he can slip away as he can.

I can't help it, I'm really not good at it, just like when I was in school, some students wrote a composition of hundreds of words just like playing, and some students had to collapse word by word.

But this time it won't work, and I can't hand it over to a special pen in the team, because he is the only one who has obtained the qualification for the closed beta of the game "Dark Sand".

Others don't even know what he experienced in the game, how to write this report?

So he can only come in person.

After holding back for a long time, I got nothing. I have written all the previous reports that can be written in the Assassin Trial, and I really can't think of anything new today.

I had no choice but to open the official website, wanting to read the discussions of the players and find some inspiration.

Flipping through the pages, Du Gang's eyes lit up.

Because he saw that Chu Ge, who had cleared the copy of the scribes and posted the most strategies so far, posted a new post!
And the title of this post is full of dry goods.

"Briefly talk about the neglected details of the four novice trial copies of "Dark Sand", and analyze the cultural connotation of this game by the way."

Du Gang felt that he was like rain after a long drought. Isn't this exactly what he needs?
Quickly click to open the post to view.

Although the scribe dungeon was completely conquered only last night, before that, Chu Ge, as the person with the fastest progress in the scribe dungeon, also posted some strategy posts on the Internet.

It's just that the content of those guide posts is relatively simple, or concise, and they are all pure text information.

But this time it was different, Chu Ge sent a video!
The official just opened a forum on the official website, and also opened the video function, which happened to be used by Chu Ge.

There are not many comments yet, but every time you refresh, you can see that the number of comments is increasing rapidly, which shows that the video is still hot, and the potential for subsequent explosions is great.

Du Gang immediately clicked into the video to view it.

……

The materials used in the video are the customs clearance videos of the four trial dungeons released by the government.

It can be seen that Chu Ge's editing level is not very good, but according to the content of his own video, some images corresponding to the copy are symbolically edited, and he is not that particular.

But that's enough.

The significance of this video lies mainly in what Chu Ge said, not in the picture.

"Hi everyone, I'm Chu Ge, the first player to clear the scribe dungeon. Today's video is mainly based on my experience in the scribe dungeon to analyze the details of the game "Dark Sand" that many people haven't noticed.

"Everyone can regard this video as a strategy of this game, providing guidance for everyone's future game content, or as an appreciation and analysis of the game, so as to better understand the difference between the game "Dark Sand" and other games. very different.

"Not much nonsense, next I will explain the difference between these four identities in the order of assassin, ranger, scribe, and soldier, as well as the details in the trial copy.

"The first is the assassin copy.

"When most players first enter this game, the first thing they experience is the assassin copy.

"In my opinion, the assassin dungeon is the best representative of the game "Dark Sands", because it clearly points out the three difficulty directions of the game for players: knowledge, combat power and role-playing ability, which is what we often say acting skills.

"Compared to other dungeons, the requirements for the Assassin dungeon are the most comprehensive. The pawn dungeon mainly requires combat power, and some additional knowledge is required; the scribe dungeon mainly requires knowledge, and additionally requires some acting skills; the ranger dungeon almost only requires combat power.

"Assassin dungeons are indispensable for all three, and if there is a shortcoming in any aspect, it will not be able to pass the level.

"This is also the biggest difference between the game "Dark Sand" compared to other games: its difficulty comes from three dimensions, so it is indeed too difficult for new players.

"But after clearing the level, I think that the game "Dark Sand" is the game that really takes the concept of 'role-playing' to the extreme.

"The rules of other role-playing games are obviously too loose. It doesn't matter whether you are running around or doing irrelevant things in the game, but "Dark Sand" is not. If you do anything that is not in line with the characters, you will be punished. The NPC in the dungeon suspects and thus leads to failure.

"Of course, this is not to say that the degree of freedom in the game is not high, as long as what you do is in line with the character design, you can also do things that you have never thought of before, and turn the situation around logically.

"This kind of role-playing is real, and it's more real than a movie set!

"So, the Assassin's Trial is like a guideline, reminding us that if you want to pass this game, you need at least two of the three: combat power, knowledge, and acting skills. One is outstanding, the other is passable, and the last one is good." Items should be supplemented with natural skills, so that you can continue to play.

"Next, let's talk about the ranger dungeon.

"The difference between the ranger dungeon and the assassin dungeon is that this is a dungeon that almost only requires combat ability. Even after watching the customs clearance video of the ranger dungeon, many players will feel that the style of this dungeon is significantly different from the other three dungeons. .

"After all, the other three dungeons all have corresponding historical events, but in the ranger dungeon, we don't even know who the protagonist is, and we can't find the name 'Xue Tianba' at all.

"I think this should be explained from the positioning of the four different identities.

"A ranger and an assassin, in fact, in the two dynasties of Yan and Chu and earlier, it was difficult to distinguish. While a ranger is a chivalrous man, he often violates the law, or because of his righteousness, he is impoverished, so he is attached to some It is very common for powerful people to become disciples. These powerful people often order them to assassinate political opponents, so most of the famous assassins in history have the experience of being rangers and disciples.

"But in the game "Dark Sands", the distinction between assassins and rangers as two completely different professional identities re-strengthens their connotations.

"It can be seen from the exclusive talent skills that the characteristic of an assassin is to assassinate those key figures who occupy high positions but pose great harm. As the sky follows the law, most of the people who kill are gentry and powerful, and after killing people, they will also aim to retreat completely.

"The most important thing is that the definition of the ranger's identity in "The Dark Sand" is different from the definition in history.

"We all know that there is a saying called 'A chivalrous man is forbidden by martial arts'. The most famous ranger in the Great Chu Dynasty was Zhou Jie. He was not handsome, short in stature, vicious in heart and bad in temper. He often fought with others because of minor conflicts. Fights, the shots are not serious, and many people have been killed. Other things, including hiding fugitives, making fake money, digging up other people's ancestral graves, and so on, are all done.

"Later, as his fame grew and he had more and more younger brothers, he began to whitewash himself, showing that he could repay grievances and show his tolerance, but in fact this was all a performance. Someone reported his illegal behavior to the government, and the result was He directly beat the complainant to death at the gate of the yamen.

"In short, in the end, he was executed by the emperor and his entire family was ransacked, but such a person can be said to be a proper underworld, and he is a very bad one, but he is the most famous ranger in the Great Chu Dynasty. It does not conform to the interpretation of the identity of "Ranger" in the game "Dark Sands", nor does it conform to the public's first impression of the identity of "Ranger".

"And in the ranger trial of "Dark Sand", a ranger image that is more in line with the public's imagination was proposed.

"Think carefully, everyone, who is Xue Tianba? He is a bully and powerful, but in fact he is closer to Zhou Xie's historical image of a 'ranger'.

"Xue Tianba has a wealthy family and has practiced martial arts since he was a child. The first time he encounters a player, he will pretend to fight with the player's bare hands. He didn't immediately copy or call someone, which is enough to show that he has some chivalry. Spirit.

"However, he oppresses the good, does all the evil, and harms one side, which is enough to show that what he thinks of as a 'chivalrous spirit' is actually a very low-level sense of justice.

"On the other hand, the ranger played by the player risked his life to kill Xue Tianba, firstly for fame and secondly not for profit, this matter has not even been recorded in the history books.

"It's purely for the sake of doing justice for the heavens and managing the injustices of the world. When the government and ancient laws cannot uphold justice, there must be a ranger to stand up for justice.

"And this process is extremely dangerous. Xue Tianba is powerful, martial arts is superb, and there are many servants and thugs under him. But even so, the ranger played by the player still killed him and retired.

"This is what is meant to be 'show the king today, who has any injustice', and this is what is meant to be 'kill one person in ten steps, never stay a thousand miles away'!
"So, the deep meaning of the ranger dungeon is: Do you want to be a fake ranger like Xue Tianba, or a real ranger like the protagonist? When you can get any fame and fortune, you have to risk your life to complete an almost You can be regarded as a true ranger when you perform impossible missions and seek justice for the poor and weak people!"
