Hello everyone, welcome to the new issue of squid porridge. This week is a very long work and study week after the National Day holiday. Perhaps everyone is already a little tired. The good news is that they finally say goodbye to it today. At the same time, let’s take a look at what interesting things have happened in the gaming circle this week!
" Fantasy Tower " international server bug can steal other player items
"Fantasy Tower" is an open-world game. Although it also has equipment and props systems, there is no trading system in the game, and trading between players cannot be carried out. However, the game had this function when it was tested before. During this period, it experienced several changes and was cut off after it was officially launched.
Recently, in the international server, a player with the ID "EXRNAL" found a vulnerability in the game. Using the transaction function left by the old code, it can forcefully steal items in other players' backpacks. This includes card draw resources, weapons, various materials, etc., which can be forcibly transferred to other people's backpacks.
Many people posted screenshots of their victimization, and you can see that there are no more than 10 items left in the backpack.
The reason why the master analyzed this bug is that the transaction functions left by the old code will not verify the user's identity, and can be used as long as the corresponding function is found. What's even more terrifying is that this code was leaked and released on the hacker website, causing uninformed players to steal items on a large scale. After that, the user spontaneously posted on the forum, warning all players not to team up with strangers, otherwise they may lose everything in their backpack.
On October 13, the official said that this bug had been fixed and 400 ink crystals will be issued throughout the server as compensation. At the same time, for affected players, props will be reissued and additional compensation will be issued after the data verification is completed. There will also be corresponding punishments for players who steal other player items, but no details have been announced yet.
This time may be the biggest and worst bug incident encountered since the launch of the "Fantasy Tower" international server. Although there was also a "paper man" bug in August, it was considered a pediatric department compared to this time. And the current national server is not sure if there will be this bug, so I just hope to be perfectly prepared for the response.
"Honor of Kings•World" software copyright registration was approved
According to the Qichacha page, the IP open world game "Honor of Kings•World" under Tencent conducted software copyright registration in August this year and was officially approved on October 9.
"Honor of Kings•World" was first announced at the 2021 Co-creation Night Press Conference. It is an open-world RPG game with "Honor of Kings" as the background.
However, it caused some misunderstandings before it was officially released. When the official Weibo was released, it was discovered by sharp-eyed netizens that the scene outside the door used the map scene material of "Star Luohu" in " Genshin Impact ". Subsequently, the official completed the official account certification review in advance on B station to issue an apology statement.
is also an RPG open world game, plus the plagiarism incident in Shanghai newspaper. At that time, many people speculated that this game would be a benchmark for "Genshin Impact". But after the official official release of the demo video, it was discovered that it was actually more similar to Monster Hunter: World.
It has been nearly a year since the real-time demonstration video released on October 30 last year. When this game appeared in the public eye again, it was just a news that it had gained soft copyright. According to relevant reports, this multi-platform open world game is still under development and may take a long time to officially launch.
" Identity 5 " and "Wenhao Wild Dog" were linked to emergency postponement
In May this year, "Identity 5" announced that it will be linked to the TV animation "Wenhao Wild Dog". As a popular game and popular anime, the linkage between the two parties has naturally attracted the attention of many players. On October 8, the official announced that the linkage activity will be officially launched on October 13.
However, two days before it was launched, at 23:00 on October 11, the official suddenly posted a message saying that the linkage activity will be postponed. The reason given is that the linkage plan has design defects and the comment function on Weibo was also turned off.
Regarding design defects, in fact, after the linkage news was announced in May, the official released a series of forward-looking linkage content. The "Prisoner" linkage fashion Osamu is indeed criticized by players for being too watery, and the windbreaker and hair are very inconsistent. As a golden skin, the quality is somewhat unqualified.
At the same time, this pendant that links skins, "Dazai's Reading Book", has also been criticized for being harmonious in the words on the book. Players strongly request optimization under the official Weibo.
However, many players speculate that the real reason for the delay in this linkage may not be the design flaw. Because there have been many skins complained about before, but the official will make optimizations and adjustments after they are launched instead of choosing to postpone activities. More importantly, the comment function on Weibo will not be turned off because of this.
This incident is exactly the same as the sudden announcement of the postponement of "DNF Mobile Game" two days before it was launched. Perhaps it was because it encountered unavoidable huge problems at some levels. However, perhaps only NetEase itself knows the problem, as a player, can only wait for subsequent news.
"Black Survivor" announced that it will be discontinued on December 8
"Black Survivor" is a text-eating game that can be experienced on PC/iOS/Android platforms. Although it does not have the intuitive picture stimulation of regular chicken-eating games, it has attracted many players because of its excellent playability and super high-quality portraits. After the game
was launched on Steam, the highest number of online players reached 4.3W. However, on October 13, the official issued an announcement on the suspension of the service in the community, saying that the service will be officially suspended on December 8, and did not explain the specific reasons for the suspension of the service.
The biggest possibility is that as time goes by, the number of players in the game is getting smaller and smaller, and perhaps it can no longer meet the needs of daily operations. It is understood that it currently takes 2-3 minutes to match a game in the game, and the difficulty of operating between PC and mobile is also quite large. In addition, it is difficult for new players to get started, and they are easily persuaded to withdraw after being abused by big players, which further leads to the loss of players. Before the server is discontinued, the official
also issued some service discontinuation benefits, including characters, skins, and various resources. It will also provide everyone with 100% chance of obtaining all Live2D skins launched by Lucky Draw. At the same time, a full-character commemorative video was also released.
However, in 2020, Nimble Neuron launched a MOBA-type chicken-eating game "Eternal Reincarnation". Perhaps after "Black Survivor" was discontinued, he would focus on operating this game.
