Rebirth of the Game Pioneer

Chapter 205 The initial little hero, Pikachu
On April 4, "Pokémon Chess" was officially launched.

Because Chuanxin has released a promotional video in advance, players all know that auto chess and traditional chess are not the same thing at all.

Players have long been accustomed to the new gameplay created by the original intention. After watching the promotional video, many people are looking forward to this day like they are looking forward to the stars and the moon. You can see how hungry these people are.

The only difference between the official version and the beta version of "Pokémon Battle Chess" is that the ranked mode that was not available in the beta version is now available in the official version.

Gu Feng did not deliberately change the setting of ranking levels. The ranking naming method of League of Legends is interesting and successful, so there is nothing wrong with using it directly.

Ranks from low to high are Tough Black Iron, Stubborn Brass, Unyielding Silver, Glory Gold, Luxurious Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, Extraordinary Master, World-Proud Grandmaster, and the Strongest King.

And the ranking mechanism of "Pokémon Battle Chess" also draws heavily on Teamfight Tactics.

Players’ initial rank starts from Tough Black Iron IV. The first five ranking matches in each season are by default the qualifying matches. If you lose in the qualifying matches, you will not lose winning points, but if you win, you can significantly increase your winning points.

The reason for this setting is also to separate players with varying levels of skills as soon as possible in the early stage of the game. This can not only greatly save the time for experts to get points, but also minimize the risk of experts staying in low-level players for too long. Young minds bring trauma.

After the placement match, the subsequent ranking matches will be based on the normal ranking rules. All win points will be counted. The win points gained by the top four will increase from low to high, and the win points deducted by the bottom four will be deducted in order from high to low. incrementally.

Regardless of whether it is a large or small tier, there is no promotion competition setting for promotion between tiers. When the winning points reach 100, you will automatically advance to the next segment, and the extra winning points will be directly added to the next segment.

In addition to the drop protection between large tiers, between small tiers, as long as the victory points are deducted when the victory points are 0, the player will be dropped directly. Regardless of the ranking at the time of the drop, 25 points will be directly deducted, that is, the player will drop. It fell to 75 win points for a short period of time.

For example, if you get diamond four, you won't fall to platinum, but if you get diamond three and 0 LP, you only need to lose once. Regardless of whether you are in 8th or 5th place, you will fall to diamond 75 and win points.

It is worth mentioning that as long as there are only 1 winning point, the next time you get Lao Ba, you will still be deducted to 0 winning points. That is, if you want to drop a rank, you must have only 0 winning points and the current rank is not the right one. The lowest rank for a large segment.

Since all the players in China are in one server, Gu Feng appropriately increased the quota for the strongest king and the proud grandmaster.

Once the Brilliant Diamond reaches 100 win points, the player will advance to Master.

After reaching this rank, the game's winning points will no longer be calculated as the upper limit, but will be settled directly through ranking at 12 o'clock in the morning every day.

Those ranked in the top 400 are the strongest kings, and those ranked 401-1200 are the proud masters. Starting from 1201, no matter how high the winning points are, they will all be regarded as extraordinary masters.

Under such rules, the competition for masters and above must be extremely fierce. After all, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Even if the score remains unchanged, you are still a master today. Maybe you will fall directly to the master after 0 points.

At the same time, the win point decay mechanism for Master and above levels has also been retained. This mechanism means that there is a storage number of days. Every time a player performs a ranking game, the number of storage days can be increased by one day, up to ten days. This number of days will be It decays in hours based on real time. Once it decays to 0, the system will deduct 200 win points from the player every day until it reaches 0 win points from the master.

The reason for this mechanism is purely to prevent players from playing badly.

Beware of those who fail after reaching a certain score, such as 1500 points. This score is no surprise, and you can basically secure your position as the king. However, with the constant changes of versions in a season, some people may happen to be in a certain version. Because he is good at lineups and has a relatively strong lineup, he got a high score, but his true level did not actually reach this score.

This person may be very self-aware of his own strength. It is possible that the version remains unchanged. He feels that there is a high probability that he will lose points if he continues to play, so he can choose not to play and forcefully keep his points.

And this mechanism is aimed at this kind of people.

As a game official, of course, we hope that this list, which represents the highest level of the game, will be credible and valuable. If there are a lot of accounts on the list that have not been ranked for ten and a half months, just think about it. I don't think it's convincing.

Because of the existence of this mechanism, in the last ten days before the end of each season, the competition near the dividing line between the Grandmaster and the King becomes extremely bloody. Those who are even slightly behind in points hope to squeeze in at the last moment, and The Grandmaster King goalkeepers will also fight tooth and nail to keep their positions.

During these ten days, it is not normal for the entry scores of the masters and kings to increase by to points every day.

Obviously the final settlement will be made the next day, and the winning points are enough to secure the title of king or grandmaster. However, due to this mechanism, one final ranking game is required. When this anti-fading ranking was forced, I unfortunately got eighth. , seeing that the points after deducting the victory points were obviously worse, I had to bite the bullet and go to the second qualifying game to try to win the points back.

But since I haven’t played this kind of segmented game for nearly ten days, my understanding of the version will most likely not be able to keep up with others. In this case, it may be difficult to make up for the points I lost in the first game even after playing for one day.

I spent half a season trying to keep my ranking, but in the end I was in vain. I watched the time cross 0 o'clock and the score was just a little bit short. Only those who have experienced it will understand the feeling of despair.

But no matter how much players above Master hate this mechanism, it still has a reason why it must exist.

As soon as the game was launched, players couldn’t wait to rush in.

Fortunately, the performance of cloud servers in this world is quite powerful. It would be fun if the game crashed the server as soon as it was launched.

After entering, there is first a novice guidance round, which mainly tells players the basic gameplay, victory conditions, basic operations, etc. of the game.

A novice tutorial session only lasts two or three minutes. If you really don’t want to watch it, you can just skip it with esc.

The initial little heroes in the game are all Pikachu.

Because in the animation, Pikachu is not in the protagonist's team. Although in the subsequent plot, Pikachu will appear when the protagonist and Xiaozhi meet, but compared with the identity of the well-deserved Pokémon hero in the previous life, Pikachu wants to be like that in the previous life It is almost impossible to become popular enough to be known to everyone on the street.

In the current plot, Pikachu has not yet appeared, and in the game, Pikachu is not among the dozens of Pokémon in the first season. Therefore, appearing as the initial little hero is not only its first appearance, but also Gu Feng’s support for Pi Shen. A small amount of compensation.

Taking the very cute-looking Pikachu as the initial little hero also shows the original conscience.
