Chapter 772: A Gift to Players: Stormwind City (Three Watches)

Regarding Stormwind City, in fact, Chen Mo made a building block version when he was working on "Minecraft" before.

Therefore, the entire architecture of Stormwind City has been reproduced, and Chen Mo doesn't need to make too many introductions, just let the project team make a high-definition version of Stormwind City according to the one in "Minecraft".

Use the Pangu engine and use the highest art effects at the level of Uncharted. It's too time-consuming to make an entire World of Warcraft, but it's much easier to just do Stormwind.

Chen Mo not only wanted to reproduce the Stormwind City in his previous life, but also to further expand the scale of the entire urban area.

After all, the new Stormwind City needs to accommodate a large number of real-life players, and no matter how big a city is, it will definitely be crammed. In that case, the bigger the better, and the more lively the better.

Of course, it can't be infinitely large.

The size of the towns in the previous games is well thought out, and if you build Shining Gold Town or Stormwind City strictly according to the medium size, then just one Shining Gold Town will be larger than Elwin Forest, and the player will need to walk for ten minutes to leave the town to fight monsters.

As a result, Shining Gold was reduced to a size that could span east and west within a minute's walk, and the same was true for Stormwind.

In other words, if you consider the scale of Stormwind City in the previous game, it is at least ten times smaller than in the middle, and if according to the setting in the story, the population of Stormwind City and the surrounding villages and towns reaches 200,000, and gamers will wonder, where are these 200,000 people?

You can't really make 200,000 NPCs.

Therefore, Chen Mo still carried out a relatively conservative expansion, and the size of the entire Stormwind City, the length and width were all multiplied by 2, which means that the area actually became four times the original size.

The scale of the building cannot be enlarged compared to the same period, so it needs to be filled in with more details, such as more houses, NPCs, etc.

It's not okay to build too big, because the game content that players need is relatively limited, and in the main city, it is actually used to use auction houses, buy items from merchants, or find important NPCs to take on tasks. It's bigger, it looks good at first glance, but it's worse in terms of practicality.

If players have to run for half an hour to enter Stormwind, they are wasting their lives. Moreover, there are not so many rich details to fill, there are too many fills, the houses are the same, and they are either empty or some useless NPCs, which also affects the game experience of players.

Therefore, the Stormwind City finalized by Chen Mo was 4 times the original area, and some key parts, such as the central square and other areas where players often gather, were appropriately enlarged.

Although this area is a little worse than the area in the original book, for players, the city is magnificent enough.

In the future, if more cities are to be built, they will basically be done according to this size, and of course, if there are special circumstances, they may have to be expanded. However, Chen Mo didn't want any special circumstances, after all, it was still more troublesome to change.

In fact, a fantasy city of this scale can only be built in a virtual world.

Someone has calculated that if you consider building a theme park according to the size of Stormwind City in the previous World of Warcraft game, the investment is basically unimaginable, and the costumes of NPCs alone are estimated to be tens of thousands of sets, and if you want to reproduce the entire urban area, you may not be able to invest tens of billions, and it is basically impossible to recover the cost.

With this in mind, it would be a good deal to build Stormwind in the virtual world.

It's not enough to build Stormwind City, you also have to have a related supporting gameplay.

For example, the function of NPCs, such as the player's clothing, such as the gameplay in the city......

You can't just be an empty shell where players can't do anything.

Therefore, Chen Mo easily found a job for the players, so let's brush the dungeon.

Anyway, there is a ready-made copy in Stormwind, Stormwind Prison. The weapon system and combat system are selected from "Dark Souls", and the equipment is also modified with "Dark Souls", as for the player's profession, it's good to start with the four classic professions of the War Law Shepherd, each profession symbolically comes with three skills, plus the weapons that come with the combat system of the Black Soul, which is enough for players to play for a while.

What the? What if you say that the player has swiped through the dungeon?

Again, this is the combat system of Dark Souls, so it's so easy to brush it up, okay?

Even if you have a high level of play, you can clear the level...... Wouldn't it be okay to do more drops and lower the drop rate? If players want good equipment, they have to continue to suffer, and they have to farm more dungeons, which is where to go.

What the? You say it's too cheating?

It's an amusement park, and it's not a real MMORPG game, it's just for players to enjoy, and it's already very conscientious to do this.

In addition, there is a wide variety of merchants in Stormwind, each with a different function.

For example, the Career Trainer allows players to choose or change their class and learn class skills.

Various merchants can sell weapons, equipment, food, drinks, special items, and much more to players.

Some trainers can teach the player specialized skills such as tailoring, jewelry processing, enchantment, etc., of course, these are a bit more and open up little by little.

This new Stormwind City will be given to players as an update to "Seaside Mansion" and as a major update to the Double 11 event.

It's completely free.

……

……

Approaching Double 11, many people are feeling sorry for their wallets.

After all, Double 11 is cool for a while, and you have to eat soil for the whole month. Maybe next month's credit card is paid off, and you have to continue to eat dirt.

Many players are lamenting that there is no money.

The wallet has been hollowed out by "Uncharted" and "The End of America", and there is still a warm cry waiting to be fed in "Seaside Mansion", and there is really no money to go online to buy losers.

However, there are still some players who can't resist the temptation and start looking at various discounts online.

Digital products, clothes, shoes......

Anyway, whether it is large or small, the things that are usually reluctant to buy are bought on Double 11.

The game has to be played, and the days have to be lived, and the usual money is used to buy games, and many things are discounted during Double 11, so it's time to buy some necessities.

As a result, the players were thinking about what to buy, and Chen Mo's Weibo directly made all the players explode on the spot!

"! I can't live this day! Go and read Chen Mo's new Weibo! ”

"Mom, Chen Mo is going to mix Double Eleven? Is this the murder of our wallet-kun?? ”

"I wasn't calm anymore...... Go and take a look, you won't be calm after reading it......"

"What do you mean, Chen Mo is going to lose again?"

"It's not just a loss, it's just a loss!"

"The largest game company in China, Thunder Mutual Entertainment has gone out of business! Chen Mo owes 350 million for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and ran away with his sister-in-law! The original price of more than 1,000 or 2,000 games, all half price, all half price! Chen Mo bastard, you are not a person, you pay back my hard-earned money, pay me back my hard-earned money! ”

Many players were shocked, what is Chen Mo doing, why does Double 11 have to be mixed?
