MMO online game players often have this experience: in the promotional video of the game, it is said that you can freely explore new worlds, with poetry and distant places, but when you actually play it, the daily routine is endlessly looped, and the endless tasks are like clocking in...
It's enough to go to work during the day, but when you come back at night, you have to "work overtime" in the game, not to mention how heartbreaking it is.
In fact, this problem is mainly caused by the fact that the core gameplay of the game itself is untenable and cannot form a long-term binding with the players, so the only way to keep the players is through looping.
Many people may have said this, aren’t all online games like this? You've been used to it for so many years, so why don't you find a game that doesn't require daily routines and various recurring tasks?
Not to mention, NetEase launched a very unique game this year - "Epic of Taiya". Its characteristic is that it has no routine and focuses on gameplay. To put it simply, make money, buy equipment, and fight!
Seeing this, someone may have jumped out and said, who doesn’t know how to make money, buy equipment and fight?
Isn't it just a matter of going to the wild to hang up, slay monsters, and then go to the auction house to sell at high prices and buy at low prices? Which game doesn't have an exchange now, and which player doesn't know how to sell equipment?
As for the battle, it's even simpler. Just spend money and it's over. In MMO online games these days, how can there be something that can't be solved even with money?
These statements do have some truth, and they are also "experiences and lessons" summarized by the seniors, but they cannot be applied to all MMO online games.
For example, in "Epic of Taiya", if you don't study market conditions and price fluctuations, and just "silly" set up a stall to sell materials, not only will you not make any money, you may also lose money!
Let’s take the skill book as an example. This is a necessary prop for players to learn mid-to-high-level skills in the early stage. It can only be obtained by defeating the world BOSS of a specific level. As a rule, its price is limited by the output. will be in a relatively stable range.
But in the market of "Taiya Epic" that changes all the time, you simply can't buy two skill books with the same price. It is even said that the price trend of skill books is more prone to unexpected changes that make people scratch their heads than the trend of the stocks you buy.
The author still remembers that when the Alonso server was first opened in "Epic of Taiya" in April, because there were so many people playing swordsman, even a white "strong" skill book could be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins. sky-high price.
But when the new server opened in June, everyone suddenly discovered that there were generally more rich players playing mage, so they began to speculate on high-level skill books for mage.
The funniest thing is that when the Valentine server was first opened, for a period of time, no matter whether you were fighting the world BOSS or alive, you couldn't get the Hunter's Explosion Trap skill book, so this skill book, which was not very practical, was directly used in the game. "Treasure Pavilion" has a sky-high price of 950.
By the way, it is important to know when and where you sell skills books for which occupations!
Although it has become the consensus of all "Epic of Taiya" players to go to the Life Crystal in the main city to grab a stall between 8 and 10 pm.
But for those businessmen who make money wisely, what time should they go to the door of the church that cleans the sin value to sell consumables, when should they go to the door of the blacksmith shop to sell equipment, and what time should they go to the door of the archaeologist's room to sell book pages. Each has its own "trade secrets".
As for the sources of the equipment, materials, and skill books needed to set up stalls, there are more twists and turns behind them that can be discussed.
In the game "Epic of Taiya", the best equipment is not necessarily linked to the world BOSS or dungeon boss.
Because in addition to exploding equipment from monsters, you can also "obtain" equipment and gold coins from enemy players and even teammates.
This is why in this game, you can see more exciting and larger-scale battle scenes than other MMOs.In fact, to put it bluntly, the word "money" is still inseparable.
For a priceless skill book, people can stay up late with you to squat on the world BOSS and brush the dungeon maps in the wild. They can also sell the information about opening certain ultra-rare dungeons to others. Just before he is about to overthrow the BOSS, he stabs him in the back and reaps the benefits.
Just a quick mention, unlike most MMO online games, when you open a wild dungeon copy in "Epic of Taiya", all passing players can pass through the portal and enter the copy area where you are. Seize the final ownership of the dungeon boss's treasure trove.
So, strictly speaking, "Epic of Taiya" is a PPVVE type game. You must be prepared to "fight with others" anytime and anywhere, and those local tycoons who are "stupid and rich but have poor skills" , on the contrary, it is easier to become a walking treasure trove of equipment in the eyes of others.
Of course, the ever-changing trading market and the PVP setting that can ignite wars everywhere are just the concrete manifestation of the theme of "all-people war".
Anyway, for me, a sudden battle or an undercurrent of business game is always more exciting than boring and tedious daily tasks, don’t you think?
After listening to so many introductions, if you are interested in "Epic of Taiya", you can also try it. Anyway, the game is free and you will not suffer any loss. On September 6th, the game will open a new server, and this time will be more suitable.
