Thriller Paradise Chapter 1325: Competition related
Valentine's Day is also the New Year... Only a few days have passed, and everyone's life is back on track.
The seventh day of the new year did not arrive, Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling returned from Europe.
Feng Bujue asked Xiaotan why not take his wife to her honeymoon? Xiao Tan gave him a sentence-"In fact, I love the right person, Valentine's Day is celebrated every day", and then Jue brother put a set of gorgeous combos for Xiao Tan that you might not see in a fighting game.
Later, Feng Bujue heard from Ruoyu that there were two reasons for this: First, the relatives and friends of their two families basically came during the wedding, and everyone gathered happily this time. There is no need to leave relatives for the New Year this year; secondly, before and after the New Year, the probability of occurrence of various supernatural phenomena will rise sharply, which means...Jiuke will be very busy. Therefore, Xiao Tan, who had just joined Jiu Division, was called back by Section Chief Gu and followed Bao Qing and Qi Zhi to "practice and study".
After talking about these two objective reasons, Ruoyu added another sentence--"Furthermore, as long as the husband and wife are in love, and every day is a honeymoon, you have never heard of a saying, "In fact, you love the right person." , Valentine's Day is celebrated every day'?"
Feng Bujue heard the words and immediately complained: "You guys should know that they are only quoting the lyrics when they say this line with confidence? And that song is clearly called "Happy Breakup"! And... …You are the least qualified to quote this sentence, okay! You can’t tell me about your love for your seal?"
After he finished speaking, Ruoyu gave a set of gorgeous combos that you might not see in a fighting game.
…………
In short, this year has passed in such a harmonious atmosphere.
During the Chinese New Year, Dream Company was also as notified in advance-from New Year’s Eve until the sixth day of the month.
Feng Bujue originally didn’t think there was anything wrong with the game company’s New Year holiday, but after talking with Ruoyu, he combined with the phrase “the probability of various supernatural phenomena occurring before and after the new year will rise sharply”. Look... This holiday seems more reasonable.
In any case, by midnight on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the online shopping malls of Thriller Paradise, Crazy Thinking, and Dream Co. reopened on time within a second.
At the same time, an announcement that was released at the end of last month and has been hanging on the homepage of the official website: [The pre-selection rules for the "S3 of Thriller Paradise" will be announced after the year], which has finally been replaced.
The content to be replaced is exactly the game-related instructions for S3 Summit.
The "long-term competition system with a mixture of individuals and teams" that allowed major studios to ponder for nearly a month finally surfaced.
Like the previous two times, the format of this competition is once again shocking.
First of all, in the S3 competition, you must form a team to participate. The number of teams is limited to seven people and there is no substitute.
Secondly, S3 actually "has no preliminaries", in other words, its "preliminary process" has already begun at a point in time that no one knows at all...
Almost a year after the game was launched, Dream Company announced a shocking setting: In fact, since the earliest closed beta version, Thrillerland has always had a built-in "hidden points" mechanism. , This mechanism will give each character a certain score based on their "performance" in the script, and this score... the score that the player does not know at all is actually one of the important basis for the system to generate the script. That is to say... it is directly related to the difficulty of the script that this player ranked.
"Hidden points" and the "player combat power rankings" in the early game, and the later "players' comprehensive strength list" are not a concept; for example, "a first-level player kills an enhanced zombie with his bare hands" and "A level 50 player does his best to single out a small BOSS". Regardless of factors such as level, equipment, skills, etc., from the point of view of the parties, the difficulty experience is similar; although from the "combat power" or From the perspective of "comprehensive strength", the two players are far apart, but the hidden score evaluation for this behavior is not much worse.
In addition, the "hidden score" is calculated as the "average score", not the total score. It does not mean that more scripts can be cleared; according to the attitude of Dream Company, this score is the system judges the player. The most accurate scoring of "comprehensive ability level", because this is a scoring mechanism that has nothing to do with equipment and skills, and purely depends on the player's "performance".
Of course, players who occupy high positions on the strength rankings generally do not have low hidden scores; even if a large part of the "hard power" of professional players can be supported by the studio, but if their abilities are not good , Naturally will not get so many resources.
So... now it's easier to explain the "no preliminaries" thing again.
Different from the previous two competitions that have both a "threshold" and a "preliminary", this S3, as long as the "threshold" is crossed, it is a semi-final.
And this threshold is-[The total hidden points of the seven members of the team exceeds 500], as long as the team meets this condition, it can directly enter the knockout stage.
What is the general concept of "500 points"? Judging from the big data released by Dream Company this time, under the premise of excluding players with unstable scores below level 10, the average hidden score of Thrillerland players is 62; as long as the hidden score is higher than this score, It can be considered that the level exceeds the average.
Looking at it this way, even with seven players who just reached the average level, the total score of the team is already 434. Of course, such strength is not enough to qualify for the competition...
If you want to participate in the S3 competition, the average hidden score of seven people in a team must reach at least 71.43. Since the score does not count the decimal points, it is basically the standard of 72 points per capita.
Compared with S1 and S2, this time the "threshold" is lowered in a sense; if there is a team with a particularly high score, for example, someone who has a hidden score of more than 100 points Existence, the requirements for other people will be correspondingly relaxed, which makes it possible for some people with less than 72 hidden points to participate in the competition.
After talking about the threshold, let's talk about the competition system.
S3’s competition system is very simple. It takes the form of a knockout. In each round, all participating teams will compete in pairs. The losing team will be eliminated directly and the winning team will be promoted until the last team is left. That is naturally champion.
The matching method is "completely random", which means that...even if the probability is low, there is a possibility that "Order VS Gods" will happen in the first round.
Also, if there is an odd number of teams in any round, then after the random match is completed, the single team will be bye and automatically promoted.
Such a regulation... undoubtedly adds a lot of contingency. It is very likely that the professional teams under the studio will encounter each other in the first round and one of them will be eliminated, and some casual player groups However, the team relied on defeating opponents worse than their own level, or byes... to go further than the strong team.
For this, the major game studios must have quite a bit of criticism; but relatively, the majority of players love to hear it.
There is a type of game in this world that specifically relies on squeezing 1% of deep players’ money to make money. The gameplay of this type of game is secondary. The player’s experience is completely determined by the number of money invested, except for those In addition to players who have invested a lot of money, the remaining 99% of casual players are one of the functions provided by game companies to deep players; for games like this, the operator does not need to think too much about the experience of casual players or what they think Yes, anyway, after making a quick cash, I close the service, change my shell after a while, and push out a game that changes soup without changing medicine, and fishes it again.
But... Thrillerland is not such a game.
After the match between S1 and S2, Dream Company found a problem-in the competition, the "sense of participation" of ordinary players was too low.
According to the previous game system, most non-professional players are almost wiped out in the preliminary stage. Except for the extreme exception of "Hell Front", other casual players...whether individual or team, even if they enter The semifinals are also a round trip. It can be said that from the beginning of the rematch, the competition has become a duel between various studios and individual professional players.
Although this is a normal phenomenon, and players like to watch such high-level games, Dream Company still feels... to change.
Therefore, this time the new competition system, on the basis of ensuring that the level of participating players is "above average", gives the 99% of casual players a lot of room for performance; "the strongest team will win" this The point has not changed. The difference is... This time, various teams, casual players and strange players who were difficult to advance in the previous competition system, have the opportunity to appear.
Finally, let me talk about the specific format of the game.
As the name implies, the theme of the competition from S1 ~IndoMTL.com~ is battle, and this time is no exception.
S3 will adopt a confrontation mode similar to S1 "Butterfly Battle" and the same format as the tennis team competition.
That is: three singles matches, two doubles matches, three wins in five rounds.
The first game is the 1V1 "Pioneer Battle".
The second game is the "backbone battle" of 2V2.
The third game returns to 1V1 and is called "Participating in the General".
At this point, if a team has won three wins, then the game is over and there is no need to play the next two games.
If the winner has not yet been divided, then the next is the fourth game, the 2V2 "Vice General".
If the first four games were a two-to-two tie, there will be the last one—"General War".
Calculated like this... It takes exactly seven people to play five games.
Although the order of the above five games is fixed, the position of the players can be changed every game. For example, the person who is the vanguard in this game can be a general or play doubles in the next game. There is no limit; but... the appearance arrangements for each game must be submitted within ten minutes before the start of the game. Once the list is confirmed , You can't change people.
Seeing this, many people must have thought of it... Everyone has heard the story of "Tian Ji Horse Racing". If you can guess the opponent's formation before the game, it is not impossible to defeat the strong by the weak. . As in S2, the matching list for each round will be announced the day before or even earlier. This period of time is the time for both teams to engage in information warfare and platoon games.
The above is almost the first wave of news about the peak S3 released by the Dream Company.
Feng Bujue went to read the relevant rules the first time this time, but after reading it, a question immediately posed in front of him—there are currently only six people on the front line of hell, where should I go to find it? What about the seventh member?
