Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?!
Chapter 593 - 576: Has the Glacier General’s After-Sales Service Arrived?

Chapter 593: Chapter 576: Has the Glacier General’s After-Sales Service Arrived?

Hou Ji was also a bit speechless, he looked at Zhuge Jun again: "So how did you play it?"

Zhuge Jun glanced at him: "Why don’t you just stop using Earth Element characters?

"Lightning Element, Wood Element, Fire Element, or Ice Element characters, can’t they all do the job?

"Especially Lightning Element and Ice Element characters, it’s not difficult to fight with them."

Hou Ji slapped his forehead: "Right, I must have had a brain fart..."

Using Earth Element characters against Water Element ones isn’t great, but Wood Element and Fire Element characters aren’t too badly affected.

And for Lightning Element and Ice Element, there is an obvious restraining effect.

Since these enemies often have Water Element effects, when Lightning Element is used, conductivity is naturally triggered, damage is amplified, and it will spread with the flow of water.

And Ice Element hitting Water Element will directly trigger the Freeze effect, causing hard control on enemies without a domineering body.

Those with a domineering body will take high multiplier extra damage from the Freeze effect.

"So after all this roundabout hassle, the answer for this version’s strategy turns back to Cold Frost and Lei Tu?

"That’s outrageous!"

Hou Ji was also a bit helpless, his mood was somewhat complicated.

Is this Chapter of combat difficult? If you actually use characters like Lei Tu and Cold Frost to fight, it’s not really difficult, just on a normal level.

Previously, it felt hard because characters with an Earth Attribute like Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan are naturally countered.

Just like at the beginning when the Hero fought against Fire Element enemies, knocking them out without a peep.

After switching to Lei Tu and Cold Frost, the gameplay experience improved a lot.

But will this make players happy?

Not at all!

On the contrary, Hou Ji felt even more upset.

I’ve gacha’d characters I like and was having fun button mashing, and now you won’t let me play? You want me to go back to using old characters I’ve had for ages?

"And there’s an even more excessive point...

"Nitiandang actually learned how to nestle in ambush now!

"What’s the meaning of people from Water Country invading only after three days? They just waited for us to gacha Li Huanzhen or Zhao Siyuan before they invaded, right?"

Hou Ji felt that he had been tricked, and it was a big one.

In fact, when this card pool just opened, players, including himself, were somewhat cautious.

After all, they had been tricked by Nitiandang so many times before, always ending up choosing the wrong option, even a block of wood would have learned its lesson by now.

Then, they started to wonder if there was a trap within.

But after a simple test, everyone concluded that both characters were pretty strong, Li Huanzhen requiring more skill, Zhao Siyuan more brainless, but as Earth Attribute characters, they should both have no big problem wreaking havoc in Thunder Country.

Besides, the main storyline indeed progressed to Thunder Country.

Players advancing the main storyline spent the first three days fighting Thunder element enemies with no issues.

Who would have thought that after three days, Nitiandang would pull a big event with an invasion by Water Country!

This timing, the trap is just too sinister!

Firstly, Nitiandang definitely couldn’t have Water Country invade right at the start, because if they did, many would still be watching the card pool and not necessarily pulling right away.

If Water Country attacked too soon, everyone would definitely avoid pulling those two characters.

Secondly, the invasion by Water Country couldn’t be too late.

Because the big update only lasts for a month, and the first half of the card pool lasts only two weeks.

If Water Country comes too late, then it’s too close to the next card pool, and people would have already had a few good days in Thunder Country with those two characters, and the hype would have mostly passed, making it less painful.

Now, three days in is just the right timeline, it’s like pinching the itchiest spot on the player.

Couldn’t be more despicable!

To say this isn’t deliberate, who would believe that?

Hou Ji silently sighed, feeling a bit helpless.

If this happened with another company, he would definitely explode with anger and then go online to vent with other players like crazy.

But when it happens with Nitiandang...

Well, it’s still frustrating, but somehow he just wasn’t that angry.

That’s really strange.

Could it be that he’s been successfully gaslighted by Nitiandang? He really doesn’t need that!

He turned his head to look at Zhuge Jun and noticed Zhuge Jun was frowning, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Hou Ji asked.

He guessed that Zhuge Jun was definitely not pondering who to use for assaulting the Thunder Country’s main storyline, as that was such a simple issue Zhuge Jun would have figured out already.

Zhuge Jun looked at him: "I’m thinking, with everyone cursing so much, I’ve got new material for my videos!"

...

At night.

Lilith was browsing the online sentiments, a smug smile re-emerging on the corner of her lips.

"Humph humph humph, these players are still too naive."

"The same move, how could I possibly use it three times in a row? There’s got to be some change!

"The invasion of Water Country is a big gift, isn’t this a surprise, unexpected?

"Gu Fan, I can clearly feel another hefty wave of negative emotion rolling in.

"This period since the game’s launch, man, has it been a lucrative ride!"

Lilith couldn’t be happier.

From the current situation, those pitfalls laid in advance are being realized one by one, and despite a few twists and turns, the collection of negative emotions is still looking pretty optimistic.

Especially since the players have mostly gotten used to the UP gacha pool and the changes in character strength, new gameplay has been created using the old character Li Huanzhen in this pool, harvesting a wave of negative emotion, which makes Lilith very proud.

After all, all the tricks in "Endless Fantasy Legend 2" were set out from the start, and at this point, all of them have played their parts perfectly, giving her an illusion of having an infallible strategy.

Gu Fan nodded timely: "Of course, President Li was well-prepared this time, determined to succeed, and it’s only natural that you achieved success."

Lilith’s gaze drifted out of focus towards the void, as if confirming the negative emotions accumulated.

"Actually, it’s a bit less than I expected, could it be that the players are gradually adapting to this rhythm?

"It’s a pity, it would’ve been great if I could brainwash all the players to forget the previous strategies and start over.

"Huh? Wait, why has the negative emotion suddenly decreased without warning?

"It’s still decreasing!

"No, there’s got to be a problem, not too serious, but it must be figured out!"

Lilith’s expression suddenly turned serious.

Clearly, some unforeseen incident must have occurred, causing a decrease in the collection of negative emotions.

Although the magnitude of the decrease wasn’t too severe, not a massive bug that could turn the tide, the lost negative emotions still hurt Lilith a lot.

Quickly, she pinpointed the target almost effortlessly.

Indeed, without actively searching, because it was someone on the watch list: Zhuge Jun.

"... Why is it him again!"

Lilith was furious. She had never heard of this name before, but since the launch of "Endless Fantasy Legend 2", especially after the game’s UP gacha pool went viral on the internet, she had heard this name three times in a short span.

The first video featured Zhuge Jun perfectly predicting the mechanics of Xing Ying and Ningyun Monarch, as well as the opening of Earth Country;

In the second video, Zhuge Jun praised Nitiandang’s method of enhancing old characters, which calmed a lot of players’ anger, naturally causing Lilith to lose a substantial amount of negative emotion for nothing.

This was the third time.

"Hey, things are allowed to happen once or twice but not three or four times, get a grip!

"Before, you’ve already awkwardly praised this enhancement mechanism for old characters, which has nothing to do with my original design intentions, yet it inexplicably took away much negative emotion.

"I want to see if you can still make awkward praises about the same thing again!"

Lilith, with a grave expression, clicked on Zhuge Jun’s new video for a quick look and found that this video was quite short, only about three minutes, which was significantly shorter compared to the nearly ten-minute-long in-depth analysis previously.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She had a hunch about what Zhuge Jun was going to say, probably the same old spiel about how the mechanism for enhancing old characters is beneficial for players, right?

But if so, it probably wouldn’t be very effective.

It could even backfire.

Because the context of public opinion at the time of these two videos’ release was quite different.

Previously, players were angry because they missed out on Xing Ying and Ningyun Monarch, and because Jiye got busted for Gold Coin by the Hero, Zhuge Jun’s rhetoric was very beguiling, and many players hearing it for the first time could indeed get pacified.

But now, players were mad because they pulled Li Huanzhen and Zhao Siyuan, not because they missed a character, and the two are quite different.

Add to that, the old arguments have already been heard by the players, so repeating them might not be too effective.

However, upon playing the video, Lilith was stunned.

Because in this short three-minute video, Zhuge Jun didn’t mention Li Huanzhen or Zhao Siyuan at all, but just showed some monster-killing footage.

"What did I say! The after-sales service for Cold Frost and Glacier General is here, right!"

In the video, Glacier General was on a rampage.

Being a dual Water-Ice attribute character, Glacier General naturally had high Water resistance, making Water attribute attacks from enemies seem painless when hitting him.

Just pair him up with some healers or shield characters, and you can withstand enemy attacks without flinching.

Not only that, Glacier General’s Ice attribute attacks could directly freeze Water attribute enemies.

Especially his ultimate move, thrusting his sword into the ground, causing a large-area Freeze effect to all the Water-coated characters nearby.

Elsewhere, this skill wouldn’t be as effective because you’d have to douse the enemies with Water, then spread it with Wind attribute, which is quite cumbersome and easily disrupted by various other attributes.

But in this place, there’s no need to coat with Water.

The enemies are made of Water Element, hanging Water on themselves. And those few that weren’t self-coated would naturally get coated due to the rainy weather in Thunder Country.

Whenever Glacier General unleashes his ultimate, all the monsters around him freeze!

Moreover, Glacier General was different from other UP pool characters: his base stats were provided rather high.

After all, he was in the same pool as Xing Ying, and many streamers had tested it: even without considering mechanics and elemental reactions, Glacier General’s stats were clearly higher.

So, in this scene, Glacier General was like a fish in water!

The same went for Cold Frost, being an Ice Element character; she also performed well in this scenario, just not as smoothly as Glacier General.

Lilith slapped her forehead.

Shoot, now I’ve dropped the ball without looking at the big picture!
