“………………So, you know, the key points for the prologue on the boat and the ancient tree forest. This way you can quickly pass the prologue and enter the game at the Star Base officially…… You can try to get the 【Land Queen Set】 in the prologue, but it probably won't be easy.” Before entering the light gate, Otiliya said to Zhang Xing Yu.
“I know, I'll try it. If it doesn't work, I'll give up on the Land Queen Set.” The 【Land Queen Set】 was originally a small surprise for other players, and Zhang Xing Yu naturally wouldn't go for it.
“Without a friend list, how do I find you in the Star Base?”
“I'll come back to the Star Base gate for 10 minutes every 2 hours.”
“I know.”
Without a friend list, they couldn't directly send messages to other players like in ordinary online games. The game also didn't have a public channel, so the two could only use the most primitive method to contact each other.
Zhang Xing Yu had already asked the Nightmare Lord, and it was easy to create a friend system. However, it was very troublesome to send text messages between the two. However, the Nightmare Lord said that he could research it.
Originally, Zhang Xing Yu thought that he would be scolded by the Nightmare Lord again for doing such a boring thing. However, to his surprise, not only did the Nightmare Lord not scold him, but he also readily went to research it, which surprised Zhang Xing Yu.
However, Zhang Xing Yu didn't think much about it, because he could finally officially enter the Monster Hunter game and play!
………………………………………………
Entering the light gate, Zhang Xing Yu finally came to the world of 《Monster Hunter》.
“Ah, you're finally awake, finally awake!” A hunter said to Zhang Xing Yu, who had just woken up.
Looking at the familiar opening animation, the scene of hunters drinking and toasting, Zhang Xing Yu felt like he was back in that world—— downloading the game, picking up the controller, and enjoying the fun brought by the game in front of the screen…
……………………
More than an hour later, Zhang Xing Yu successfully broke through the prologue and came to the Star Base.
For Zhang Xing Yu, the various difficulties in the prologue were all designed by himself. He also knew how to solve them, so there were no difficulties. In fact, because he was the creator of this nightmare world, Zhang Xing Yu could even cheat directly…
However, what's the point of playing if you cheat? It's like the Monster Hunter world. You call up the cheat codes and get all the orbs and equipment. What's the fun in that?
The fun of Monster Hunter lies in the process of outsmarting and fighting monsters. During this process, you may encounter difficulties and setbacks. However, every failure makes your experience richer, your skills more mature. But when you finally defeat the monster, those difficulties and setbacks will all turn into excitement, excitement, and then you will shout—It's awesome!
Enjoying this process is the most important thing.
And now, as the creator of the nightmare world, Zhang Xing Yu also hopes that he can create a perfect Monster Hunter world, allowing the players of this world to also “enjoy” the fun of outsmarting and fighting monsters, even get more (pain)!
Zhang Xing Yu hopes that the game he creates can surpass the original world game in all aspects.
The nightmare world has a lot of “black technology.”
Just from the way the game is played, the “full virtual” technology has already surpassed all games in the original world by a large margin. If it can't surpass the original game, then Zhang Xing Yu can really just go and bash his head against a wall!
Of course, there are definitely difficulties in this, mainly in two aspects.
On the one hand, the setting of the vast ecosystem of the Monster Hunter world. In Zhang Xing Yu's vision, he wants to create a “realistic and perfect” Monster Hunter world, but he is not good at this aspect. So, this task can only be given to the “knowledgeable” and hardworking Nightmare Lord.
On the other hand, there are problems caused by the change in the way the game is operated. After all, in the original world game, players control the character through the operation of the controller. Now, however, it has become controlling yourself. In this case, you can't completely control the player's moves. You can't make the player completely attack according to the preset attack mode like in the game. Then what's the value of the “full virtual” game mode?!
Therefore, in this Monster Hunter world, how players use weapons is completely up to the player. You can swing the Great Sword like a Long Sword… as long as you are strong enough!
You can also directly use the Dual Blades as throwing knives, but be careful that the weapon flies away and you haven't picked it up yet when you are killed by the monster!
Without controlling the player's use of weapons, the player's combat methods will be more free and varied. This poses a major challenge to the game's weapon setting and usage system. Therefore, Zhang Xing Yu has been focusing on weapon balance recently.
For example, the weight and size of the weapon. This directly affects the speed and strength with which a weapon player can swing the weapon.
Although Zhang Xing Yu doesn't restrict the way players use weapons, the nature of the weapon itself determines how the player uses a certain weapon. For example, the Great Sword's large weapon weight and size determine that the player can't swing it quickly.
Unless the player's attributes exceed a certain threshold. For example, a player with high Strength can use the Great Sword like a Long Sword!
Zhang Xing Yu didn't give up on the original weapon skills of the Monster Hunter world. Instead, he planned to add more weapon skills. In this regard, Zhang Xing Yu should thank the Nightmare Lord. Its knowledge can be used to set up a more complete and cool and practical skill system for a certain weapon!
However, it can't be completely relied on the Nightmare Lord because the Nightmare Lord knows too many skills, and many of them are very strong. These need to be excluded by Zhang Xing Yu or modified according to the world of Monster Hunter.
In addition, these skills, Zhang Xing Yu also doesn't plan to let players use them all at the beginning, like in the game. Instead, they need to be learned through various methods. The simplest way to learn is to find an instructor to teach you, while some powerful skills require players to have a high weapon proficiency before they can learn them.
For example, the Great Sword's three charges, at the beginning, players cannot learn to use them.
The nightmare world is close to a “real world,” and players need to learn how to use weapons for a period of time.
However, what Zhang Xing Yu didn't expect was that because of the setting of weapons and skills, now, the players in the Monster Hunter world are generally in a state of “feverish excitement!”
