The server shut down more than an hour before Feng Bujue turned on the computer, and many things have happened since then. At the moment, the forum he was browsing had enabled the posting limit function, and each person could only post one post every five minutes, but even so, the refresh rate of the webpage was basically the frequency of turning a page in ten seconds.
As early as 8 o'clock in the morning, the system had turned off the queuing function, no longer generated any scripts, and reminded players to log off. Players who were already in the script at this time did not know it. At 10:20, one after another, the players who were in the script before all completed or left the script. For more than two hours, the offline prompt has been displayed on the screens of all login spaces. Until 10:30, the players who forcibly stayed in the login space were also forced to go offline, and then the game server was shut down.
Then, players poured into the forum.
After seeing the eye-catching announcement at the top of the webpage, players have different opinions and are at a loss for what to do.
Most users expressed dissatisfaction to varying degrees. The level of these players may not be very low. In fact, many of them are close to or already at level 20. But they felt that the closed beta ended so soon, it was unfair to those players who bought the game pod or got an account with great difficulty through other channels. Players who don't have an internal beta account can still play in Thriller Paradise as long as they wait for three to five days.
In fact, the most fundamental resentment in the hearts of these players is... this is only more than 50 hours of closed beta, which did not give them the huge "advantage" they imagined.
At this time, in the official top post of Dream Company, the "terms" began to be put out. The implication is that everyone agreed to these contents at the beginning, and we also said it when we sold the game cabin. It is very clear that the capped level of the closed beta is level 20, and when 10% of the players reach this level, the closed beta will stop. In fact, this condition has been met now. If the public beta is not launched, it will be a breach of promise.
So, the players were speechless, who would read those terms? When there is no reason to argue, some people start to make trouble for no reason. They made remarks such as "The high-level players are all studio players, and Dream Company ignores the game experience of ordinary players", and there are also more violent words, such as "Black-hearted game companies colluded with studios to raise prices and sell game cabins for profit" and so on. . There are quite a lot of such people. In fact, they don't understand the relationship between game companies and studios, nor do they understand the basic knowledge of related industries, and they don't even have any concept of the cost of game cabins. But they still dare to express their ignorance and irresponsible accusations based on their fantasies in order to vent their dissatisfaction. The irony is that the posts of such people often attract a large group of more ignorant and unthinking people to support and echo what others say. Some players who are a little bit more rational will reply a few rebuttals and post some really meaningful information, but they will be besieged and abused, accused of being the gunmen and vests of Dream Company. This kind of phenomenon is just because the scolder's own point of view is completely untenable, and it is easily destroyed by others, so he becomes angry from embarrassment.
There is such a group of people in this world who like to mess around, like shrews, it is meaningless to argue with them, because their own knowledge and ability will soon make them fall into a situation where they will find out A dictionary belonging to them, which basically contains some words they usually use - dirty words, and occasionally things such as "hehe", "what are you excited about", "pay attention to quality", these words are accompanied by their own words Swear words and behaviors of selective ignorance popped up, pulling other people's IQ to the same level as theirs, and fighting with each other. Talking to such a person is like grabbing a handful of "truths", "stories" and "seasons", and they are all "big" and full of confidence. It turned out that the guy on the opposite side was full of "sophistry", "ignoring" and "drinking", and immediately felt like crying without tears.
Of course, there are also many silent accounts on the forum, waiting to see what happens, and some of them even risked being drowned in saliva by publicly expressing their support for Dream Company's open beta. But they are not members of the dream company, but the people of various high-end studios. This group of people supported the opening of the public beta from the bottom of their hearts. From their point of view, it was a complete waste of resources for the group of level 20 professional players under their command to not be able to practice.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
There are also some unreliable characters who seem to have to mediate in the middle of the peace, and the posts they publish are nothing more than "Suggest that Dream Company pay attention to the interests of ordinary players, change the condition of '10% players' to '10% non-professional players', and reopen Internal testing to show fairness" content. In fact, this kind of people are all "ordinary players" without exception, and they don't want "fairness". Reasonable wording.
This kind of chaos on the forum made those more useful strategy posts, help posts, etc. all of a sudden have been swiped to dozens of pages, like a stone sinking into the sea. The forum, which was already quite lively, could not be described as "hot" now. It was like being attacked by malware, testing the server's ability to withstand pressure.
However, in the face of this situation, Dream Company assumed the posture of "the enemy army is besieged thousands of times, and I will stand still". Anyway, the announcement has already been posted, and the game server has been shut down. We will upgrade and update accordingly. If you have the ability, don't play until the public beta is open.
In the face of some users' comments such as "Everyone cancel the game cabin together, let's see what they say" or "I don't play anymore, rubbish games, black-hearted companies", etc., the staff of Dream Company also have a mentality of watching jokes, They all understand that there is probably no one who can really do what they say. There is no need to delete this kind of post, as long as a week passes, it will become evidence that these people have brought shame on themselves.
It can be said... as a new company, Dream Company's response and style are completely the routine of monopoly enterprises or industry leaders, neither admitting mistakes nor changing their decisions. The user's choice is, either accept the status quo, or stop playing. It seems like the price of oil has risen, and there is no discussion.
These days, many operators let the game "test" until they close down. How long they can test and test for as long as they can make money by charging props in disguise.
It can be said that Dream Company is risking the world without violating. This feat of internal testing only took two days, not only did not let the game lose its popularity, but it gradually heated up, and various publicity campaigns continued.
Just this Sunday morning, Dream Company announced the basic equipment required for the game during the public beta phase. In addition to players who purchased the special game cabins of Thriller Paradise, players who use game cabins or game helmets from other companies need to purchase Dream Company exclusive Only issued special external devices can log in to the game.
This news calmed the anger of the internal beta players a little bit, at least the public beta is not completely without barriers. It's like the closed beta players bought a PS2 and the priority game rights of about 50 hours of real time, and the public beta players must also buy a PS2 handle to follow up.
After the news was announced, at eleven o'clock, Dream Company immediately opened the registration function of the public beta account, and listed several compatible models of peripherals on its website, which can be purchased directly online and delivered to the door the next day .
In just one hour, the order has exceeded 200,000 and is still rising. A large number of public beta players flooded into the game forum after getting their accounts, and the original posts were flooded with water posts. Following the trend, there was another round of scolding battles between the two parties, which was very lively. Two groups of people who don't know each other say all kinds of ugly things on the virtual network, and burn tens of thousands of household registration books in half an hour. What a big hatred...
In short, Feng Bujue felt as if he had slept for a whole month this morning, and when he sat down in front of the computer while cooking a bowl of noodles, he saw such an earth-shaking change.
The things on the Internet are so interesting. Maybe those involved will feel that they have experienced and participated in some big event that will be recorded in history forever. In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, this is just an ordinary morning.
To Feng Bujue, it doesn't matter if the open beta starts early or late, and he doesn't want to fight for the top spot in the level, and he doesn't think that the extension of the closed beta will benefit much. A strong player is strong after all. Even if you practice one month more than him, the gap between you is only one month. His level will catch up sooner or later. At the same level, he is still better than you.
But since the public beta is about to start, it is undoubtedly good news for Feng Bujue. During the closed beta, he felt that there are too many things in this game that have not yet been opened: currency trading, public areas, shopping malls, deck systems, and many other things that he can't even think of for the time being...
And now, at most forty-eight hours later, the whole picture of the thriller paradise will be revealed before his eyes.
