Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?!

Chapter 331: Chapter 340: Nitiandang Adopted the Suggestion!

August 15th, Saturday, 8 PM.

Instructor Ding’s live streaming room.

"Alright, brothers, ’Shadow World’ new version, launch!"

"What? ’Legend of Infinity Fantasy’? Sorry, I’m not familiar with it; can’t play even a bit."

"I don’t know anything about the Fantasy Continent. I only know that the Azerothia Continent is calling me, the Shadow World Expeditionary Force is calling me, and I must respond!"

"Right, while we’re at it, there’s a prize-guessing game, so make your bets now."

"Those who think that the all-profession gameplay is a mechanic and believe the new version will continue this design, please vote on the left."

"Those who think the all-profession gameplay is a bug and believe Nitiandang will fix it in the new version, please vote on the right."

"What, you say you think the all-profession gameplay is a bug, but Nitiandang won’t fix it? Then President Li, President Gu, please quickly come up to the stage!"

Amid laughter and cheer, the popularity of Instructor Ding’s live streaming room gradually increased.

While waiting for the new version to go live, Instructor Ding had briefly tried out ’Legend of Infinity Fantasy’, just not as in-depth as Chen Tingquan.

For well-known reasons, he had been successfully persuaded to quit mid-game.

Basically, only the achievement hunters and speedrunners were still persevering in ’Legend of Infinity Fantasy’ at this point.

Most casual players couldn’t be bothered to open the game again after defeating the Demon Lord, and players like Instructor Ding, who didn’t really connect with the game, naturally gave up halfway through.

Many players expressed that ’Legend of Infinity Fantasy’ was fun at the beginning, but by mid-game, those powerful elemental abilities became useless, and the game turned into a regular monster-fighting leveling game?

That’s where the core appeal of the game was lost!

Other games also offer monster-fighting and leveling, with operations like Perfect Dodge and shield counters, and even do it better than ’Legend of Infinity Fantasy’. So why should I play this game?

Moreover, ’Legend of Infinity Fantasy’ didn’t have a particularly captivating storyline.

In sum, the game’s biggest highlight was the set of elemental reactions, and many players felt that if the developers had focused on this aspect seriously, the game could have even won an award or something.

But come mid-game, for some unfathomable reason, the developers had removed this biggest highlight, and naturally, players couldn’t muster much enthusiasm anymore.

So Instructor Ding turned his expectations toward the new version of ’Shadow World’.

Before the new version officially went live, the audience in his live streaming room was clearly divided into two camps.

Most players believed that Nitiandang would surely continue the previous successful design, maintaining the all-profession gameplay of ’Shadow World’.

This was obvious.

After all, the success of ’Shadow World’ was all due to the all-profession gameplay. Change anything but that!

But there was also a small group of players who thought that with Nitiandang now, it’s really hard to tell!

What if they underwent another Shengjing Group possession and fixed this bug? Looking at ’Legend of Infinity Fantasy’, it wasn’t impossible!

Many players were also privately investigating whether some designers from Shengjing Group had left their company and joined Nitiandang, thereby completing a possession?

How else could you explain Nitiandang’s recent series of unintelligent moves?

Although such a thing might sound preposterous at first glance, it was actually quite common in foreign gaming companies.

There are few designers with good resumes, and even those with notorious reputations in the industry can always find work in other gaming companies. Then they repeat the same process and ruin other games, which isn’t anything new.

However, up to this point, players had yet to grasp solid evidence.

Instructor Ding was also skeptical, but with the new version of "Shadow World" going live, everything would come to light!

Previously, Instructor Ding had interviewed President Gu at the game expo and particularly stressed the need to add a skill and talent panel to facilitate player learning of skills.

President Gu, however, did not make any promises, and even suggested that the bug allowing full-class gameplay might get fixed.

What exactly would the new version bring? One could only wait and see.

...

"You lowly ants dare to trespass into the Shadow World?

"You have no idea what you are truly facing!"

Accompanied by the deep roar of a demon, Instructor Ding once again immersed himself in the opening animation of "Shadow World" version 70.

He had already seen this opening animation at the game expo, but watching it again on his own computer still left him wanting more.

It also heightened his anticipation for the new content.

As the CG finished playing, Instructor Ding logged into the game.

It is worth mentioning that the 70 version is less a new version and more like a brand-new game.

Because the original 60 version of "Shadow World" was still operating as usual, with both games not affecting each other.

If players logged into the 60 version at this time, they would only receive a message informing them to go play the new 70 version game, and they could not directly update to the 70 version.

However, looking at the situation as Instructor Ding logged into the 70 version, the game was essentially modified based on the 60 version. Although a lot of original artwork from the 70 version had been added to the login and loading pages, the overall feel was still continuous with the previous one.

The basic data for various characters were also basically inherited from the level 60 data.

Instructor Ding was controlling his main character, which was his initial Demon Sorcerer, getting ready to start the game.

The introduction process for the new version was relatively simple. Every player who had already reached level 60 could receive an email in their mailbox, triggering a mission automatically. They could go to their respective main cities to find the person in charge of the Shadow World Expeditionary Force and join the battle against the Demonic Legion.

Then, they would use a portal to arrive outside the entrance to the Shadow World, take up missions from the Expeditionary Force leader, pass through the massive portal, and plunge into the great battle against the demons.

Afterward, players would establish bases on various maps, gradually complete missions, compress the living space of the demons, and ultimately defeat the final boss in the Shadow Temple.

However, just as Instructor Ding was eagerly preparing to head to the Shadow World portal, he stumbled upon an unexpected surprise.

In addition to the main mission, he also received a side quest called "Visit the Profession Trainer!"

Instructor Ding was a bit puzzled. What was there to visit about the Profession Trainer?

Could it be... they were going to take back the skills and talents of other professions?

With a nervous heart, Instructor Ding approached the Magician’s Profession Trainer, and they had a brief conversation.

The gist was: After long periods of training, it is believed you have mastered the skills and talents of other professions. From now on, you only need to find the Profession Trainer the first time you learn a skill, and at other times you can learn on your own.

Then a prompt appeared on the screen: "Press the N key to open the skill and talent page and choose skills and talents."

Instructor Ding couldn’t help but widen his eyes, overjoyed.

"What? Nitiandang really took my suggestion and added a skill and talent panel!

"Nice one, they’re really pampering their fans, they truly take advice!"
