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

Chapter 343: Chapter 352 This is not a slash, it’s part of the plot

This discovery, not long after, spread across the entire internet at an extremely fast pace!

Players conducted a series of research around the "Oathbreaker" Talent and "Arcane Conversion" Glyph, and to their surprise, they found that almost all of the mainstream BDs could be significantly amplified by using them!

Although the details of each BD were different and the gameplay varied, one common feature was the need to retain some of the original equipment that increased elemental damage.

For some BDs, two or three pieces were enough, while others required half a set.

Through this mixed-damage approach, the output of these BDs had almost all seen a noticeable increase, generally reaching around 15,000 or 16,000!

Although there was still some gap from the original Biased Elementalist’s 18,000, this gap had become fully acceptable. After all, with the myriad of BDs blossoming, the new gameplay brought by these BDs also made the players happy. That was enough to offset the disappointment of the Biased Elementalist being nerfed.

Soon, in front of the damage dummies in each of the game’s main cities, crowds of players gathered again.

Despite it being the wee hours of the morning, their enthusiasm was clearly reignited, and they began tirelessly testing damage and researching BDs again!

In this series of research, players also found some clues, and even started doubting Nitiandang’s recent "nerfing."

Was this truly a nerf?

...

...

The next morning, Wei Chengjie yawned and glanced at his phone for the time.

It was just past 6 a.m.

He turned over in bed with some irritation, unable to fall back to sleep.

He had only gotten home at 11 p.m. the previous night, and by the time he finished his nightly routine, it was already midnight. He had planned to sleep until he naturally woke up, but because of his heavy mind, he was awake just after 6 a.m.

He was still very sleepy, but at the same time, he couldn’t fall back to sleep, which made him quite irritable.

"Forget it, let’s get up."

Wei Chengjie got out of bed and began to wash up. While doing so, he took out his phone to routinely check the forum discussions.

Hmm, seems like there are still no significant discoveries in "Legend of Infinity Fantasy."

Currently, this game could be said to have mixed reviews, although it still had a loyal fanbase. Some speedrunners were also researching techniques to break speedrunning records, but for the majority of players, the desire to pick it up again after one playthrough wasn’t very strong.

Right now, the focus of everyone’s attention was clearly on "how to make Wei Chengjie step down."

Moving on to "Shadow World."

Most posts on the forum were still complaints, and there were also quite a few catching up with the Boomerang. These posts were mostly made right after the Biased Elementalist was nerfed, and they were still on the homepage of the forum.

Then, in that moment, Wei Chengjie’s eyes widened in an incredible revelation.

A hot post, from today at 3 a.m., had appeared on the homepage. The title of the post was: The tables have turned! The new version of "Shadow World," A Single Whale Births All Life, Biased Elementalist’s nerf isn’t about game balance, it’s part of the game mechanics!

This title made Wei Chengjie stare in astonishment.

The tables have turned?

Perhaps due to some recent hot issue, the term "the tables have turned" had caused a bit of PTSD among netizens.

Turned 360 degrees, right?

Wei Chengjie was very clear about the state of Shadow World at that time; where was the turnaround? The game had been designed by President Li from the start to be a pain for players.

The reduction in BD was real, and it was programmed into the game from the beginning.

Could there be a turnaround?

And this post also says that cutting the Biased Elementalist is part of the game mechanics? Isn’t that nonsense?

Could it be posted by some die-hard fans of Nitiandang?

Buddy, although I can understand and appreciate your enthusiasm for Nitiandang, blind fandom often equals being anti, doesn’t it? This is just causing trouble, isn’t it? Apart from making bystanders even angrier, it seems to have no other effect...

Wei Chengjie silently sighed and clicked to read the post.

However, the more he read, the wider his eyes grew, and an increasingly incredulous expression appeared on his face.

What’s going on, other BDs... came back to life?

Had almost all BDs received over a 30% enhancement?

How was that achieved??

In this post, the author explained in detail the reasons why these BDs were rejuvenated, mainly due to the "Oathbreaker" Talent and the "Arcane Conversion" Glyph!

These two things had almost become the standard for mainstream BDs; they couldn’t just be considered a part of BD anymore, but more like a universal, powerful buff.

But if that were all, it wouldn’t prove the point that "cutting the Biased Elementalist is part of the game mechanics."

Maybe it was an oversight by the official?

But the series of arguments that followed by the post’s author shocked Wei Chengjie to the core, and he even began to doubt if he really worked for Nitiandang.

"Perhaps everyone thinks this is just an oversight by Nitiandang, after all, ’Oathbreaker’ has been a Talent since Version 60, and ’Arcane Conversion’ was also a Glyph that existed since Version 60. Nitiandang, no matter how impressive, couldn’t possibly have planned for what’s in Version 70 so far in advance, right?

"So on the surface, it seems more like an accident, some strange bug.

"After all, if ’Oathbreaker’ hadn’t bizarrely converted elemental damage boost into arcane damage boost, ’Arcane Conversion’ would be useless. Because the original boost to arcane damage was too minor to make a significant impact upon conversion.

"But if we analyze it carefully, we might find an array of foreshadowing!

"Especially if we compare it with the approach taken by Shengjing Group, the differences are quite obvious!

"Shengjing Group fixed it with a hotfix, indicating program changes. But Nitiandang’s cut to the Biased Elementalist wasn’t a hotfix at all, I checked, and since Shadow World Version 70 launched, there hasn’t been any update at all!

"And through some unofficial channels, we’ve learned from official employees that Nitiandang also hasn’t made any changes to any of Shadow World’s background data.

"So many people are wondering, why would Nitiandang choose such a clumsy method to fix the Biased Elementalist? They could’ve directly modified background data, lowered the relevant values, and achieved the same effect, but why did it seem more like they gave all players a debuff, directly capping the elemental damage boost?

"Clearly, this was something Nitiandang had planned from the start, from the first day the new version launched, they were ready to cut down the Biased Elementalist at a specific time!

"Some might think that Nitiandang is knowingly breaking the rules, adding crime upon crime, but considering the current situation with ’A Whale Falls, All Things Rise,’ we have reason to suspect that this is part of the game’s story that Nitiandang designed for us!"

This passage made Wei Chengjie a bit dizzy.

Indeed, the way Nitiandang cut BD was strange, very different from Shengjing Group.

But how did that turn into part of the game’s story?

Wei Chengjie continued reading.
