The character designs in today’s RPG games are almost inseparable from the iron triangle combination of “meat, law, and milk”. Relatively speaking, the number of output professional players represented by mages is often the largest, while the number of meat shields and nannies is slightly less. However, this combination was not very popular in Asian online games at first. It was only after , World of Warcraft, and became a global hit that it began to influence the design of online games in Asia.
What is worth mentioning is the meat shield profession. Although it seems to have thick health, high defense, and strong survivability, the number of players in the game is often relatively small. The reason for this is not only that the output of the tank itself is not as good as that of other professions, but also that in RPG games, the tank also needs to assume the role of commanding the entire team.
Take World of Warcraft as an example. Tanks must fully understand the combat mechanism of the entire BOSS, and also command the team on how to fight. Even more in-depth, they must also understand other output skill modes, burst nodes, etc. This puts a lot of pressure on players who play tanks, and they need to be highly concentrated throughout the process.
Moreover, in addition to games like World of Warcraft that have high requirements for professional tank players, those domestic online games that are more typical of krypton gold are not very demanding for players who play tanks. Players are also very demanding. Mainly reflected in the level of krypton gold, I have played NetEase's Datang Wushuang before. In the early stages of the game's launch, tank professions such as monks had relatively high equipment prices due to the small number of players. In addition, the output of the monk is insufficient, and the speed of clearing the dungeon by yourself is extremely slow. If you team up with others, they will dislike you because you are not equipped well and you are not strong enough. Therefore, when newbies start playing the tank profession, the gaming experience is not very good.
But no matter what, the tank profession is still very characteristic in the game, and the later domestic animation My Name Is MT successfully attracted many players to try the tank profession. Of course, it has also caused some problems. The emergence of many wild tanks has made the tank market mixed. During random matching, many new tanks can easily deceive players.
However, thanks to the continuous reduction of the difficulty of today's games, the difficulty of the meat shield in the game is not that high, but it still requires players who have a certain understanding of the game to get started.
In fact, in addition to RPG games, sandbox games like EVE are also deeply affected. However, relatively speaking, the design of EVE is still somewhat different from the iron triangle in traditional RPGs.
However, we can obviously still feel that there are many tank-oriented units in the game. Like the fin whale-class flagship industrial ship in EVE, everyone is accustomed to calling it a big whale. Although it is officially positioned as an industrial ship, to put it bluntly, it is a cargo ship used for mining.
However, due to its ultra-high tankiness, it has become a nanny ship for many miners in Zone 00. It also has three slots and a locking distance of 47KM, so it sometimes appears on the battlefield to specifically interfere with opponents. of cruisers.
Since the recently launched EVE mobile game has attracted many new players to join, some new players are curious about how meaty this unit is after seeing the big whale for the first time. So a test campaign was launched.
A legion gathered 50 people, went to a secret corner, and began to assemble the big whale built by the fire legion. As a result, 50 conventional ships beat the whale for a long time without any pain at all and even the shields were not knocked down.
Everyone was eager to try and see where the limit of this big whale was, so they moved out of the aircraft carrier. Generally speaking, the aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft can basically break out the eggs in one round against other ships. When encountering meat, A little bit can break the shield.
However, the hit on the big whale this time was still like scraping, and the blood bar dropped extremely slowly. At this time, everyone was working together, trying to figure out how to blow up the big whale, seeming to forget that it was them. Own ship.
If the driver hadn’t yelled for a stop in his voice, it is very likely that this big whale would have become the first explosion in the EVE mobile game.Sure enough, this group of people are submissive to the outside world, but they are very aggressive to me internally, hahaha.
Generally speaking, today's meat shield profession is not so difficult compared to the past. Detailed tutorials can also allow novices to quickly understand how to play the meat shield. However, if you want to go further and become a unique MT, you still have to put in more effort than output, which is inevitable.
