The high-end setting of the Heavenly Domain determined that the meaning and value of many things here were vastly different from that of the normal servers.
In the normal servers, the guilds fought to the death for dungeon records. The main reason was because of their achievements. They used their achievements to prove their strength. They used their strength to attract the attention of new players who had just entered Glory. They recruited them as their own members and organized them into supporters of their team. This was the greatest value of dungeon records.
But in the Heavenly Domain, the concept was different.
It couldn't be said that there weren't any noobs in the Heavenly Domain. After all, there were still many people who directly bought a Heavenly Domain account and directly skipped the normal servers to come to the high-end servers. However, most of them had gone through the Normal Area and completed the Heavenly Domain Challenge Mission before entering.
These people had been playing Glory for a long time. From playing the game to paying attention to the pro scene, they already knew which guilds were backed by Clubs. For these people, Club guilds didn't need to rely on their achievements to attract their attention. For old players, these guilds' names were the biggest signboards.
Moreover, in the Heavenly Domain, the big guilds had a stable foundation. They didn't need to use any methods to repeatedly prove their existence.
In the Heavenly Domain, everyone fought for dungeon records, but it wasn't to prove their strength. In the Heavenly Domain, every time a dungeon record was broken, the system rewards were what everyone valued the most. It was just that once a record reached a certain level, breaking it would be quite difficult.
Just by looking at the composition of the team, one could see that the dungeon records in the Heavenly Domain were a completely different concept.
In the dungeon records, there were countless shining names. They were all pro characters in the pro scene.
That's right, in the Heavenly Domain, pro players and pro characters weren't prohibited from competing. This was something that the Glory Alliance had fought hard for. And the famous speech made by the Alliance's chairman at that time was still talked about by the players.
In that speech, the chairman touted one of the biggest advantages of Glory, which relied on the game for its existence, to the max: interaction.
That's right, there wasn't any other type of competition that had the kind of interaction that Glory had.
Football, basketball, F1, even chess, or other e-sports all had a large number of fans. However, pro players were always high up existences. Normal people rarely had the chance to interact with them.
Glory, on the other hand, was an MMO. Through the MMO platform, it could close the gap between normal players and those professional stars. Just think about it, in an ordinary online game, you might be able to coincidentally meet a professional celebrity you admired, or you might have the opportunity to team up with a professional character you liked, enter a dungeon, kill a boss.
At the time, the core idea behind this speech had garnered the support of many Glory players. At that time, Glory had just released the Heavenly Domain. They wanted to promote and announce this new setting. Glory players were undoubtedly very attractive, so they didn't make it too difficult for them.
With the support of the players and the company's accommodations, the Heavenly Domain had no restrictions on professional players. From then on, it was set.
In the early days, the wonderful blueprint that the chairman of the Alliance had described had indeed appeared. Speaking of which, pro players were the first batch of characters to enter the Heavenly Domain. In the Heavenly Domain, normal players could often play together with pro players. However, as Glory continued to develop, the number of players increased, and the maps continued to be updated and expanded. Pro players became more and more popular. That original blueprint was rarely seen nowadays.
Pro players didn't run over to play. This didn't even require the Alliance to ban them. Even pro players themselves didn't dare to log in with their pro characters.
The large number of spectators made it so that pro characters couldn't do anything in the game. Spectators were just one aspect. Sometimes, they would even be surrounded and attacked. Who knew if it was because they fought for the benefits of fighting against a pro player or because they coveted the pro player's equipment. In short, there were all sorts of thoughts. In the current era of Glory's competitive scene, the wonderful blueprint that was originally described had disappeared.
Nowadays, pro players would only make an appearance when they were trying to challenge some of the best records. As a result, countless of their names were left on the Heavenly Domain's dungeon record leaderboards.
The reason they came to set records was, of course, to snatch the rewards from the records.
Resources.
In the Heavenly Domain, the competition between the large guilds was just a game of money grabbing.
Dungeon records were like this. Wild bosses were even more so.
Materials, all sorts of materials. For the pro circle, the value of materials was completely higher than equipment. For the Glory game, which didn't have a binding system, it wasn't too difficult to obtain equipment that could be dropped. Self-made equipment was the ultimate goal of the pro circle. Self-made equipment was never lacking in all sorts of materials.
And in Glory, materials were produced in all sorts of activities.
The level of the materials wasn't the most important thing. The drop rate was what truly determined the value of the materials.
The unique materials that some wild bosses would drop were obviously the most valuable. A mere 52 sets of these materials were produced in a year. If they were used in the research of self-made equipment, it meant that there were only 52 chances of failure in a year. And this was under the theoretical assumption that all of the materials were produced.
How could this kind of material not be expensive? And how could equipment made from this kind of material not be strong?
The Level 65 wild boss, the Wilderness Escort, would drop a unique revolver called Wildfire. In the hands of a normal player, Wildfire's value as a weapon was already very high. However, in the pro circle, a Level 65 weapon wasn't very impressive.
However, these types of equipment could be used in the research of self-made equipment. It was just that the range of uses for weapons was rather narrow. For example, no matter how wide Wildfire was, it couldn't exceed the range of a gun. If it was used less, the demand would be lower, and its value would be lower.
But no matter how low it was, as long as it was unique, it would be more valuable than the rare materials that could be found in dungeons. As a result, fighting for it was still necessary. Even if a team didn't have a Gunner class, then this gun would be worthless. But if they could get it, then it would be a bargaining chip. No matter how useless it was, it would weaken the player who needed it. The competition in the pro circle was like this.
"Fight! Why aren't you fighting!! "Sparse Shadow couldn't hold back anymore and continuously spammed the chat.
"The Wilderness Escort isn't the most valuable. The items it drops are also quite limited. How will the top guilds deal with it ….." Ye Xiu was thinking rationally.
"Can we see anything from that hole?" Sparse Shadow asked Ye Xiu.
"I thought you were more familiar with that hole than me ….." Ye Xiu replied.
"I'm just more familiar with it ….." Sparse Shadow said as he leaned over the dog hole. He even stuffed his head in, trying his best to see the situation outside. Even though the battle outside hadn't stopped, it was clear that only Blue Brook Pavilion's players were dealing with the Wilderness Escort's aggro. If a large scale PK were to erupt, then there wouldn't be only this much activity.
"Won't he be discovered like this?" Chen Guo said.
"He won't. There's also a pile of grass blocking the hole outside." Ye Xiu said.
"Then doesn't that mean he won't be able to see anything?" Chen Guo said.
"There might be some gaps in the grass ….." Ye Xiu said.
"So wretched ….." Chen Guo was speechless.
Outside the wall, Blue Brook Pavilion's Ice of Dawn also felt somewhat helpless. They had originally held the initiative, but who would've thought that their luck would be so bad today? They hadn't been able to achieve the results they wanted nine times, and now their competitors had arrived. The two great guilds didn't have any fewer people than them. Directly PKing was definitely suicide.
The one who spoke to him in a strange tone was someone from Herb Garden called Mugwort. Ice of Dawn also recognized him. He could be considered quite a character in Herb Garden. An activity like killing a BOSS would definitely be fought over. As a result, the big guilds couldn't just randomly send people over. They had to have a leader leading them.
As for Excellent Dynasty's leader, he was called Dreamland. He was also a famous expert and a core member of Excellent Dynasty. The person in charge of leading the team was always someone like this.
"Ha ha, you two came a bit late!" Ice of Dawn also greeted the leaders of the two great guilds.
"This place, ha ha, I can guess Boss Dawn's intentions!" Mugwort said. The Club guilds had a fairly complete system. Under the guild leader, there was the vice guild leader, and then the group leaders. These positions all had a substantial meaning. They weren't randomly given to people who were familiar with each other, or to whoever was stronger. These positions were held by the true core members of the guild.
Ice of Dawn was one of Blue Brook Pavilion's Five Great Experts. With this title of expert, it was hard to say how good or bad he was in the game. But in terms of position, his position in Blue Brook Pavilion wasn't low at all. In terms of position, he was a bit higher than Mugwort and Dreamland. He could be considered a boss.
"Really?" Ice of Dawn looked like he was just casually replying. His view was already facing the two great guilds and not the dog hole behind him. But at this moment, a "hong" sound came from behind him. This was the sound of a Falling Flower Palm.
"What!!" This sound made Ye Xiu suddenly stare blankly.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Sparse Shadow, who had drilled his head into the dog hole, shoot out like a cannonball. He rolled a few times on the ground and directly smashed into the wall. Words continuously appeared in his screen: "F * ck F * ck F * ck F * ck!!!!!"
"There's such a thing … …" Ye Xiu immediately laid down and looked into the hole. Even he was stunned.
