This Game Is Too Realistic

Ample Time: “I still remember what Brother Light said at the beginning.
What Wasteland Online wants to create is a completely real world! Since it is a real world, then doesn’t that mean that NPCs will definitely evaluate the player's behavior and make corresponding reactions?”

Night Ten: “It seems to make sense, but what does this have to do with the wider open world you are talking about? Originally, NPCs already have favorability settings.”

 

Ample Time: “It has a lot to do with it! The player is set as a member of the 404 shelter.
There is not only the relationship between the player and the NPCs, but also the overall evaluation of the players by the NPCs! For example, if one of the players killed a native today, do you think the relatives, friends, and neighbors of the native will welcome us with smiles tomorrow? Naturally, they will become vigilant even if it doesn't become hostile!”

 

Night Ten: “Seriously? You mean, joint responsibility?”

 

Gale: “This will make the game play a little bit difficult.
Now that the circle is small, it is still manageable.
But it is difficult to ensure that everyone is a normal player when the circle becomes big.”

 

Ample Time: “I don't think so.
The troublemakers and trolls are mostly new players, and it is unlikely for old players to suddenly change the gameplay style.
Generally, these newcomers have no guns, no money, no attributes, and no skills.
If there is a conflict, the NPCs can whoop their ass easily.
If we find the problem early, we can deal with it early.
After a period of time, once they become addicted to the game, they will cherish their account much more.
It would make them think twice before doing something stupid.
You know what I mean?”

 

Gale: “It makes sense.”

 

Night Ten: “?? What? What? What do you mean?”

 

Ample Time: “The trolls and troublemakers are the problems that the server operation and maintenance personnel need to worry about after the internal test.
Let's not discuss it here.
In short, the power favorability system has been opened, which shows that the publisher has consciously guided the players to start thinking about the overall interests of the shelter.
But why did they roll out this suddenly, you ask? Obviously, it is paving the way for the 'opening of a new map' and adding new forces!”

 

Old White: “I agree with Ample Time.
I don’t know if you all have noticed it.
As mentioned in Article 5 of today’s update announcement, the shelter B2 floor will be opened after the 'Bloodhand Clan' is cleared! What does this mean? Obviously the new map has been developed, but it’s not yet open.”

Night Ten: “damnit, is this testing the AI or testing us again?”

 

Ample Time: “I think it is both! After all, the game is for people to play.
If they want to create a game close to the real world, an open virtual community, then they have to test the player's behavior in this community and adjust server rules and gameplay.
I have to praise the development team again, this idea is simply incredible!”

 

Old White: “Okay, okay, stop shilling, tell me what you think? What do we do next? Hunt, or some other activities?”

 

Ample Time: “After the winter, there will be fewer and fewer prey, and the profit of hunting is not high.
Now that the war with Bloodhand Clan has begun, I speculate that the administrator will soon increase the bounty for marauders.
The next stage of gameplay will revolve around this.”

 

Gale: “It makes sense.”

 

Night Ten: “By the way, we bought our land but we haven't started construction yet.
When will we build a house?”

 

WC_really_has_mosquitoes: “Yes, yes, I am waiting to open the workshop.
(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ”

 

Gale: “Don't worry, our own construction efficiency is too low, it is better to hire a few people to build it.”

 

Ample Time: “I think so too.
Just leave the task of building a house to the professional construction players.
We still focus on farming coins and upgrading equipment.”

Chu Guang, who hadn't been on the Penguin chat software for a long time, looked at the computer screen and was impressed by those players again.

 

As expected of Ample Time!

 

His understanding of the version was better than his.

 

“Starting tomorrow, I'll increase the bounty for marauders.”

 

“Capture a hostile target: After the identity is confirmed as a marauder, an additional 20 silver and 200 contribution points will be awarded on the basis of the original 5 silver coin reward.
Bring back a marauder's corpse: an additional 10 silver coins and 200 contribution points will be awarded based on the original 5 copper coin reward.”

 

“If the opponent is a squad leader, the award will be doubled!”

 

“Oh right, in order to prevent newcomers from intentionally leeching, the level of rewarding tasks has to be restricted.
Mhm…
I’ll temporarily set it at LV2 and adjust it later depending on the situation.”

 

The genetic sequences of the players of the first echelon has basically reached LV2, and players such as Old White who entered the game earlier have even reached LV4.

 

Being able to reach LV2 showed that they had a certain understanding of the game, and the bonuses brought by the basic attributes could also prevent players from being killed easily when facing marauders.

 

Of course, the most important thing was that players of this level had savings.
After a little hard work, they could afford the cheapest iron-barreled rifle in the weapon store.

Chu Guang checked the lockers every day.

 

In addition to every silver coin issued, he asked Little Seven to keep a record.
It could be said that Chu Guang knew even better than the players how much money they had.

 

In fact, the land itself was not expensive, only 10 silver coins per square meter.

 

At this time, most players had already saved enough money to buy land, but had not yet saved up to 2000 contribution points to upgrade their citizenship status.

 

Since this was the case, there would be no point for them to save money at this time.
They would take out their money to buy guns to farm contribution points. 

 

When the mission is cleared, this opportunity will be gone!

 

“Depending on the situation, if there are not many people buying tomorrow, I'll let Xia Yan give a 10% discount to the basic gun in the weapon shop.”

 

Of course, only iron barrel rifles and revolver rifles would be sold at the discounted price, but bullets were not included.

 

A steel cored bullet produced by Boulder City was sold for 1 silver in a weapon shop.
The rolled copper shell bullet produced by Red River Town was sold for 5 copper.

If it was an “inferior” bullet made by the weapon shop proprietress with black powder, it would be slightly cheaper, and people could buy one for 2 copper.

 

Too expensive?

 

Then complain about it to the proprietress.
It has nothing to do with me, the administrator.

 

It's not my store after all.

 

There was a smile on Chu Guang's face.

 

Finally, he didn't have to worry about the ammunition of these players by himself.

 

When the players bought the guns, they could waste as many bullets as they liked.
Anyway, they would buy it at their own expense.

 

Xia Yan, who was sitting in the corner memorising a book, shuddered suddenly without warning.

 

Warm air obviously blew from the air vents, but there was cool air whistling behind her.
She always felt that the man sitting in front of the computer was planning something “evil”.

 

His smile looked so perverted…
