I have a friend, so I called him A Yuan. A Yuan is an old Dota player, and several friends often turn on the black OMG mode together after get off work.
Unfortunately, it is not up to him to decide how long he can play every day. It not only depends on his wife's expression, but also whether the children at home are asleep. The matter of coaxing children to sleep is like being in jail.
After finally taking a break from the busy holiday, he suggested that we might as well play with the RPG map in the veranda... Not long after, he was called away by his wife again, leaving a few buddies staring at each other.
(new "Select Rabbit Sheep")
OK, let's find the picture to play with. As a result, I didn’t know if I didn’t play, and I found out... hasn’t touched the corridor for several years. Now, many of the custom maps of 5 are the ones that “krypton gold becomes stronger”. What impressed me the most was "Dota 12v12". The author stopped pretending, and it was obvious that he wanted to make a lot of money.
Starting from choosing a hero, players are divided into three or six levels.
members can prioritize choosing their favorite hero , and only after the countdown of 54321 is completed, ordinary players can choose heroes.
You can choose "privileges" at the beginning of the game, which is equivalent to bringing your own talent.
If you don’t recharge, you can only get some garbage basic privileges that are better than nothing. Each member privilege that recharges is stronger than the other.
(After entering the game, there is a big recharge prompt above the map)
For example, choose Lian , recharge privileges and choose +80% negative effect, one stings for 5 seconds, and a sheep must jump around in place for 7 or 8 seconds. If this is Tide Hunter , you may not be able to wake up if you win the ultimate move in the team. What is the value of the free version corresponding to
? Only 10%, there is one and no.
(others include killing special effects, hero aura, etc.)
The most simple and unpretentious privilege is to give some money at the beginning. The civilians only give 200 yuan more for low-level privileges. It is the same as if there is no. The high-level privileges can be used to pay the money directly when going out.
Then you will see that the two sides have just stepped on the military line, and a skeleton king jumped out of the woods and clicked a ranged soldier. When they reached level 2, they ran to the wild area and got into the wild. You and three teammates left behind, who were confused, and they were still hurting each other for a few more.
Once I met an enemy mage in 12v12, and typing on the public screen at the beginning: "Brothers, do I have a good life?" Oh, it turns out that the privileged choice increases the attack range.
00 "air slash" was more than a distance, and before the person on the opposite side could touch it, the blue light was cut off. There are also perverted privileges like "100% physical blood sucking".
So what is the price of "spend money to be a father" in the game?
month30USD .
Right, you read that right, the unit is US dollars.
is equivalent to half of the original price of the 3A masterpiece, just to gain privileges in Dota 12v12 fighting. Just like this, there are still many people playing, and they basically open the room immediately after entering the room.
In this era when players despise the game "paid props affect balance", such nonsense happened in a Dota2 that emphasizes fair competition and even heroes are open to you without spending money to buy?
After being speechless and surprised, what came to my mind was naturally a sentence "why".
Although I know that this is just Dota2's veranda map, and the control is in the hands of the author, and it has nothing to do with V club , I still want to ask: "Why did the Dota2 veranda become what it is now?"
(even the prompts are very warm)
This reminds me of Qifan's "The Legend of the Conquerors".
Qifan's boss was the founder of Haofang's battle platform. After Haofang platform was acquired by Shanda, it started to develop a Three Kingdoms theme "Three Kingdoms Contest", which can be said to be one of the earliest RTS competitive online games in China.
At that time, Qifan launched a 10v10 mode "The Legend of the Conquerors". Because it was a 20-person battle, the pace was refreshing and the battle was fierce, compared with the 5v5 "Three Kingdoms Battle", the entry threshold was much lower, and many players were quickly attracted.
is similar to the current "Dota 12v12". There is a tips system in this game, namely "turning boxes" and "turning treasure chest". Everyone brings a box at the beginning and can open up random props.
Although everyone only has one box, rich people can spend money to transfer unlimitedly until they are good. Civilian players are left to fate and whatever they drive is counting.
sounds very unfair. You may wonder, "Why are there people playing with it if you can become stronger with krypton gold?", but Qifan really has the confidence to do this. This confidence comes from players. As the saying goes, there is a market if there is demand.
Later, Qifan used the experience of being a client to build an 11 battle platform. The current Warcraft RPG also has various recharges to become stronger...
Back to the topic of Dota2 veranda.
We all know that Dota was originally a custom map of Warcraft 3. After so many years, Dota2 has become a DeadGame, and the game has long passed the peak of its life cycle and has been on a downward trend.
Of course, there are reasons for external environment squeezing. Battle Royale games such as skydiving and eating chicken are popular. Now mobile games are so convenient, and there are too many entertainment methods.
As for the game itself, Dota2 seems to have lost some competitiveness. The core problem that Dota2 has not solved since 2016 is how to attract fresh blood.
Although the official launches the coach OB system, it recommends more than 20 initial heroes in the novice mode, and there are also various black groups, teaching maps, etc. among the people... I have made a lot of efforts, but the results have been minimal.
(If you want to play the veranda coach picture made by netizens, you must first complete 30 matches, so it is a dead cycle)
Dota2's veranda function is a good entry point and an attempt to return to the original intention.
was rarely released last year, which made the number of people online at the same time soar to 100,000, but these players who entered the game with casual purposes obviously could not be converted into matching people.
After fewer people played auto-chess this year, they became a half-deadGame. Fortunately, the V Club, which has relatively free management methods, does not have any restrictions on the corridor function.
The current Dota2 veranda map can not only be archived, preserved progress, but also connect to the MMR system, and set the "ladder segment" of the map, which is more friendly to map authors who are interested in developing.
V Society has never been concerned about using maps to make profits, and turns a blind eye - Originally, it is a good thing that RPG maps can make profits, but if profit method grows wildly, it may not be.
Next door Warcraft RPG is the lesson.
programmers from three or five training classes set up a small studio and launched a Krypton gold fast food map like an assembly line.After it goes online, you can then use buying volume and other methods to browse the map to the ranking list.
After attracting real players, they use the values in the game to block the players, forcing everyone to pass the level by purchasing VIPs and bonus items.
and even some online battle platforms of Dota maps also sell various jewelry and skins, adding blinding effects. Play Warcraft 3 as a web game platform.
(Just find a werewolf skin picture of the 09 platform...)
Later I found a few brothers who played in "Dota 12v12" and talked. According to them, the privilege of recharging money in the past was actually just going out for more than a pair of shoes, which was not as outrageous as it is now.
However, they are very open about the fact that recharging money becomes stronger. After all, there are still a few people who have krypton gold. It doesn’t affect the experience in one game in more than 20 people. Instead, they hate ’s “abuse of voting and kicking people” even more.
In the past, there were often robots who were maliciously entering the room without preparing for maliciously. It may be a BOT purchased by business opponents, other map authors, or a prank mentality that ruins other people's gaming experience... they are usually called "rejectors".
If a map does not have a matching penalty mechanism, it may not be possible to go in and play a game in half an hour. "Ready → Back to the room → Ready" infinite loop, there are many veranda maps that are being yellowed.
There was another 10v10 free map in the corridor (a special game for Ti5 exhibition matches) that was very popular. As a result, there was no punishment for the robot to exit the room, and the new hero was not updated, so no one gradually played it.
Now many maps are connected to the instant refund penalty mechanism. It is not the same as the rule of "5 minutes or 30 minutes of punishment after rejecting official matches", if you exit the corridor map, you will directly close it for an hour.
Result This instant refund punishment mechanism is abused by member privileges.
, especially some groups of people who play black 12v12, often encounter black guilds and money-recharged guilds during the peak online hours at night, and they are still exaggerating when playing RPG. There are six people who are always blackmailing and they vote to kick people. After
voted to kick people, those who were kicked could not enter the game again. They could only wait for the game to end. The consequence of forcibly disconnecting was that they were banned for one hour, and could not even play with matches in the end.
(I was kicked, and I can't even play with ordinary matches)
The most amazing thing about
is that after recharging money, members can prevent them from being kicked when they vote. Even if they hang up at home, they can't do anything about it. So some people use their privileges to open black and hang up the site on the opposite side, which is about the same as spending money to open a picture.
CF members are not so outrageous.
I flipped through the author of the 12v12 map "Dota2 Unofficial".
other images he made, "Skilled Heroes", the unofficial "Battle Pioneer", etc., all have a hot model first, and then it copy the same krypton gold-enhancing version, and finally the bad coins drive out good coins.
(Dota's official Pioneer Map of the Battle of the Raiders)
(12v12 Pioneer Map of the Raiders)
(also has krypton gold elements)
Anyway, people don't care how long the game can live, they only care about how much money they can enter their pockets.
In order to fight the 12v12 leek cutting behavior, someone later made a "12v12 Reborn Reborn Edition" and deleted all paid content that affects balance. Unfortunately, no one has played it.
I don't know what the veranda of Dota2 will eventually become.I also understand that anyone has the right to find their own fun in the game, and krypton gold is also a kind of fun, which is understandable.
However, these players who are used to krypton gold did not realize that it was their money support for the impact of the game's balance props that made the studios more unscrupulous in cutting leeks.
Fortunately, this is just a game, and at worst it’s not to play.
-END-
