Mr. Pei changed the game content slightly?
Li Yada was a little surprised.
In her impression, Mr. Pei rarely made modifications to game content himself.
Whenever you want to make changes, you usually talk to Lu Mingliang directly, and then Lu Mingliang completes the specific changes.
But why did Mr. Pei change it himself this time?
You don’t trust me?
Li Yada thought for a while, but there was no reason. If Mr. Pei didn't trust me, how could he let me make the master plan?
With some doubts, Li Yada returned to his work station and looked at the changes in the game.
There are not many changes, but the main changes are focused on one weapon.
The Zen staff originally used to make up the numbers has an enhanced version with a glowing special effect. In addition, a special way to obtain this weapon has been created.
Li Yada took a closer look at the weapon named "Pudu".
From an attribute point of view, this is a weapon that is a bit too strong in the early stage, and its damage is obviously super high.
However, the horizontal swing speed of the normal attack remains unchanged. The forward and backward swings of the attack are very long and not easy to control.
Of course, when designed, this weapon, like other two-handed heavy weapons, has a jump slash setting, and you can speed up the release through some operations.
In other words, if a player who knows how to play this game gets this weapon, it will definitely reduce the difficulty of early combat significantly.
But at the same time, this weapon also has great limitations. Using it to fight game content other than the ending of six reincarnations will not have obvious advantages compared with other weapons, and by the second week This weapon is basically useless at this point.
Li Yada was a little confused.
Why did Mr. Pei deliberately make such a weapon?
Is it because Mr. Pei couldn’t defeat him, so he built a backdoor for himself?
Uh, that doesn’t make sense.
If Mr. Pei thinks this game is too difficult, why not just lower the difficulty?
What's more, as a designer, Mr. Pei doesn't have to clear this game.
So, this possibility can be ruled out first, and it must be due to other reasons.
Is it possible that this move has a deeper meaning?
Li Yada thought about it carefully. The current game difficulty is indeed too difficult for ordinary players. At the beginning, ordinary mobs will touch the player twice and the players will be gone. This means that most players must Try to be injury-free.
Although you can quickly obtain blood-replenishing props, compared to the amount of blood lost, the blood-replenishing props are still a drop in the bucket.
In the final analysis, there are still high requirements for the player's operational level.
So, is Mr. Pei’s weapon considered a rookie benefit? After getting this weapon, less experienced players can at least clear the game and get through one of the endings.?
Or is this a manifestation of Mr. Pei’s kindness?
This should be possible.
Then...why hide it so deeply?
Li Yada noticed that the old monk who dropped the Zen staff had his attributes slashed by Mr. Pei and was no longer as good as a mob.
And its location is around the town. Players who can reach here have probably suffered a lot and killed a lot of monsters. There is no reason why they can't defeat it.
Even if the car accidentally rolls over, it can’t roll over six times in a row, right?
Unless it is intentional, it is difficult to think of what kind of player would die at the hands of this old monk six times.
Moreover, by killing this old monk, you can get ordinary Zen staffs and rosary beads. The rewards of collecting weapons and powerful props in the early stage are irresistible to most players.
In short, the weapon "Pudu" is buried too deep, and I am afraid that 99.99% of players will not be able to trigger it!
If this weapon is Mr. Pei’s expression of kindness to some players, why is it hidden in a place where most players are unlikely to find it?
Li Yada fell into deep thought.
According to Senior Bao Xu, anything that is unreasonable must have a deep meaning.
Now, the settings of this weapon are very unreasonable!
"Why did the old monk die six times before he became an interactive NPC on the seventh time?"
"What does this number mean?"
Li Yada searched on Qiandu and found some information.
Although many of the statements are not consistent, and it is difficult for Li Yada to determine which statement Mr. Pei used, he can still roughly understand the meaning of this number.
Of course, Li Yada doesn’t understand the profound Buddhism, Qiandu doesn’t understand it, and neither do the players. Some specific meanings must be understood in a shallower way, so that they are more easily accepted by players.
"Seven" and "Nine" are both relatively important numbers in Buddhism. For example, the saying "Nine-grade Lotus Platform" shows that "Nine" symbolizes Dzogchen.
The meaning of "seven" is more. It also represents perfection, but there is also a saying that "seven" represents small perfection.
In addition, it is said that when Buddha was born, he could walk as soon as he landed on the ground, taking seven steps. The first six steps represent the six paths, while the seventh step represents enlightenment, so "seven" is also used to express transcendence.
"Does dying seven times represent perfection? That shouldn't be the meaning."
"Strictly speaking, it should be dying six times."
" So...should the first six deaths represent the six paths of reincarnation, and the seventh represents enlightenment?"
"So, the weapon you got can only be used to get through the six paths of reincarnation? ”
Based on previous speculations, Li Yada believed that this should be the most reasonable inference.
Death six times, representsWith the Six Paths of Reincarnation, this means that the Six Paths of Reincarnation have been opened for the players in advance. The seventh time they saw this old monk get the "Pudu", he officially embarked on this ending route.
Not only can you jump directly from Huangquan Road to the Six Paths of Reincarnation to challenge the boss, but the weapons are also specially made for this ending.
As you can imagine, players should have two reactions.
The first type is that after getting "Pudu", they are happy and forget about Shu. They only know how to rely on the high damage of this weapon to carry out some less intense battles, and happily get through the six-way reincarnation ending.
The second type is to be willing to give up the weapon of "Pudu" and use your own strength to fight other true endings.
Considering the original setting, the ending of Six Paths of Reincarnation is a false ending. The protagonist thinks that he has escaped from this desperate world, but in fact he has just entered the same reincarnation again.
Using "Pudu" to get through this ending will make it even more ironic!
Players who choose "Pudu" mean that they have chosen an escape mentality, not daring to face more difficult challenges, but just to protect themselves.
Abandon "Pudu", pick up ordinary weapons, face more powerful enemies and meet more difficult challenges, only then can you truly escape from the sea of suffering!
Thinking of this, Li Yada was almost in awe.
Now that I think about it, although the original setting is good, it still lacks a little depth.
According to the original setting, the ruined temple and the old monk are nothing more than an addendum. Whether they are beaten or not, it will not affect the subsequent content.
As for the ending of Six Paths of Reincarnation, the game experience is not much different from other endings.
But after Mr. Pei made these changes, everything became different.
The addition of "Pudu", a supermodel weapon, directly places a dilemma in front of all players: stay in the comfort zone and deceive yourself with a false ending; or go out of the comfort zone and play while Suffer while searching for the truth of this world?
This approach allows players to have a deeper understanding of different endings and gain a stronger sense of substitution and immersion!
