When the event was announced, there were less than two days until it officially began. The old players all knew the benefits of this Christmas event and acted immediately. Those who wanted to form a team found their friends and family, while those who wanted to go solo used the last two days to hone their equipment.
The Club guilds obviously wouldn't miss out on this event. For them, apart from participating in the event, they also had to compete for the rankings. The rankings were a source of income and also a way to promote their image.
But when they thought about how Lord Grim was in the game, the guild leaders couldn't bring themselves to laugh. Due to the fact that this event would be carried out through a teleportation map and restricted entry to small parties, their advantage in numbers could only be displayed on the Guild Rankings. No matter how many people they had, they would not be able to gather together on the Personal or Party Rankings.
This competition was clearly a competition of the strength of the elite players and teams. Originally, the big guilds had no lack of confidence in this aspect, but when it came to competing with Happy ….. the new dungeon record that Happy dominated was the best proof. That was also a competition of the strength of the elite teams, but the result?
Only the pro teams could compete with Happy's team. But Christmas didn't interfere with the Pro League. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were three days of events. After Saturday, there would be the sixteenth round of the Pro League. The pro players couldn't possibly come to the game to play before the competition instead of training. Even if they were interested, they might just play one or two games to experience it. They clearly couldn't be counted on to get on the rankings.
The Club guild leaders were worried! But two days passed in the blink of an eye. The Christmas event officially began. Because the event was limited, there weren't many players impatiently waiting for it to begin. As for the Club guilds? They didn't immediately send out their elite teams. Their goal was to get on the rankings, so they had to first observe and understand the actual situation of this event before they could do anything.
That night, while the club guilds were studying the event, they were also paying attention to the leaderboards.
What about Lord Grim? Happy? Would he appear on the rankings soon?
In the end, he didn't. They waited until dawn, but Happy still didn't have anyone on the rankings. Although the Club guilds didn't send out their true elites, their foundations were well demonstrated. Under such circumstances, the guilds that managed to gain a foothold on the various rankings were none other than the forces of these guilds. As for the Guild Rankings, there was no need to talk about them. The top twenty guilds were all Club guilds. Some bored players compared the rankings with the Pro League rankings to see if there were any differences.
There were many differences.
For example, Samsara was currently at the top of the rankings. This guild had been developing rapidly ever since their team won the championship last season. The players in the guild were also very hardworking. After Samsara were the traditional powerhouses like Blue Brook Pavilion, Herb Garden, and Tyrannical Ambition. Team Tyranny currently held first place in the Pro Alliance. However, their subordinate guild Tyrannical Ambition's performance in this event was about the same as the other powerhouses. They didn't have the momentum they had in the Pro Alliance.
As for Excellent Dynasty, even though their team Excellent Era had been relegated to the Challenger League, their guild wouldn't collapse just because of this. At this time, the ones who had the most hope for Excellent Era were undoubtedly their most loyal fans. Guild Excellent Dynasty's performance in this event was exceptional. Quite a few mid-tier guilds had lost to them.
Another guild that had a bigger contrast was Heavenly Justice. Their Team Heavenly Swords was still in a precarious position in the Pro League. They were constantly hovering between being relegated and not being relegated. However, in this guild event, Heavenly Justice's performance wasn't bad either. They were currently in seventh place. There were rumors that Heavenly Justice had given out a large reward for this event in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the players. Whether or not this was true required further investigation.
These guilds attracted the attention of the majority of the players, but they themselves were struggling to find the rankings. They wanted to see if Happy's current ranking was a threat to them. After this investigation, everyone was quite gratified. Happy's guild was still too weak. In order to compete for a guild's ranking, relying on a single elite was useless. It required the strength of all the players. Happy's Lord Grim and the others were strong, but they weren't able to play a decisive role in this event.
In addition, after an entire night of careful research, the top guilds discovered a problem.
Just like the previous events, the players' rankings were divided according to their levels. Normally, it would be divided into five levels. In the normal servers, this division would be very detailed. Starting from Level 20 after leaving the beginner village, the five levels would be divided into five levels until Level 75.
However, in the Heavenly Domain, because players were all max level players, there wasn't a need to divide them. However, this time, the level cap had been updated, so in the Heavenly Domain, there were two rankings based on level.
One was the Level 70-74 ranking list, while the other was the Level 75 ranking list. The two rankings were divided into individual and team rankings. The team rankings were based on the highest level of the team's character.
This sort of division was also how Glory always did things. The main thing was to separate Level 70 equipment from Level 75 equipment. However, after an entire night of research, the top guilds discovered a problem: there were far fewer Level 75 players.
The new level cap had been released on December 3rd. It was only December 25th right now. 20 days had passed. The higher the level, the more experience required to level up, and the slower the leveling process. This was inevitable. The core characters of the Club guilds trained day and night as fast as they could. In the 11 days of the break, they had all reached Level 75. Ye Xiu and the others weren't as hardworking, but their efficiency wasn't low either. A few days after the break ended, they all reached Level 75 and began sweeping through the various record rankings. But for the majority of normal players, how could they have so much free time? These players, who only had a few hours of game time every day, were still struggling to level up! And their group was definitely the majority of the players.
Most of the Club guilds were diehard fans of the team. These diehard fans were the most passionate players of Glory. Naturally, they were the ones who were more willing to dedicate their time to the game. As a result, quite a few Club guilds had reached Level 75 in the past 20 days. As a result, among the current Level 75 players, the Club guilds accounted for a large portion of them. As a result, when the quests were randomly distributed, it was common for teams or players from the same guild to be randomly assigned to the same map. Clearly, this distribution was truly random. It wouldn't avoid the same fate for players from the same guild.
This way, players from the same guild could help each other in the quests, giving them an advantage over other players. After a night of observation and understanding, the various large Guilds finally grasped hold of this hidden phenomenon.
However, if they had this advantage, so did other guilds. They had to take advantage of it, but they also had to be on guard against it. But while they had it, some others didn't. For example, Happy's guild … …
The top guilds had long since planted undercover accounts in Happy's guild. Even if they didn't know the core information, wouldn't it be easy to scan the guild's member list and see the level distribution?
Happy's guild didn't have many Level 75 players. They were still in the early stages of development, so they weren't picky about their income. As a result, there was a mix of good and bad members. There were people who actively went online every day for various activities, and there were also people who went offline for a few days without seeing anyone. Happy's guild was still in the transition period from a player's guild to a professional guild.
If they faced Happy's guild, the top guilds would have an exclusive advantage. Under such circumstances, if they were coincidentally given a large number of players in a quest map, wouldn't they have a chance to make things difficult for experts like Lord Grim?
Although they knew that Lord Grim was a god-level expert, the top guilds still had to think of a way to deal with him. Besides having more people, what other advantages did they have? Could they find someone to compete with the god-level expert?
Originally, there shouldn't have been an advantage in numbers, but because it happened at such a special time, it led to such a situation. Naturally, the Club guilds would have some ideas. But after some careful consideration, even if two teams from their own guilds went to the same map and encountered Lord Grim's team. 10 people versus 5 people … … Was this considered an advantage?
When the guild leaders thought of this, they all gloomily came to the conclusion that 10 was less than 5. Happy's group of experts wasn't something they could deal with with just two or three times their numbers. They would need more people. But if they had more people, they might not be able to get a random result. For the entire night, the scene of three teams going to the same map had only happened a few times.
"Then, if one team isn't enough … … how about a few?" Someone couldn't help but think of this.
As a result, among the group of guild leaders, some people gradually began to speak. They began to lead the conversation.
"Samsara's doing pretty well? They've gotten so many in one night. "
"Ha ha, your guild's doing pretty well too!"
"Heavenly Justice isn't in this group, right? They're pretty good this time too! "
"What's going on with Hundred Blossoms? They seem a bit dispirited! "
The guild leaders spoke one after another, discussing their gains from the night. In their hearts, they all wished that everyone else's scores were negative, so that their guild could take the lead. But right now, they all seemed to be in harmony with each other.
"Cough, Excellent Dynasty's also fighting fiercely!" Someone seemed to have found a way to lead the conversation.
"Let's do our best!" Chen Yehui and the others responded with a fake smile.
"Compared to you guys, that Happy's far worse. What's his guild ranking? You can't find it! "Someone began to cut to the chase.
"There's no hope for their guild ranking, but what about their individual and team ranking?" The main topic was brought up.
"If we don't think of a countermeasure, we'll probably lose to them."
"How about we work together to suppress them?" The guild leader who said this didn't seem very happy. To be honest, fighting side by side with these guilds was much more taxing on their brain cells than fighting against each other.
