Entering Onyxia's Lair Instance Dungeon again, Lu Li adjusted the team's line-up based on the previous First Clears performance. He couldn't let people feel like they were doing everything on their own. If they didn't do well, they would be kicked out and replaced with someone else who could do well.
As for whether or not the people who were kicked out would have resentment, Lu Li didn't have the responsibility to care about their feelings.
"After getting wiped so many times, we still cleared it. What does this mean?" Lu Li took advantage of the fact that everyone was preparing and began to train his eloquence. "You don't have to get wiped to death in an First Clear. It's just that you didn't believe that you could defeat the Boss at the beginning. Before you even started, you were sure that you would get wiped."
"Do you need any strategy for this Boss? Just do as I say!"
Although the club had lost a lot of equipment, they suddenly had a lot more money. Two Strongholds had been taken, so the 16 clubs had to use money to bid for the Stronghold. Ruling Sword and the game officials took a cut, which made Ruling Sword a lot of money.
This money was used to buy materials and potions. In short, they could drink as much as they wanted in the First Clear.
There was no need to borrow money to repair their equipment. Lu Li had tens of thousands of gold coins in his backpack. He had never been so rich before, so he immediately waved his hand and paid for the repair fees and potions for the First Clear members.
"Do you feel like the Princess of the Black Dragon is a little weaker?" Weilan Haifeng suddenly asked after fighting for a while.
"Her defense has been weakened a little, her skill damage has been reduced a little, and her aggro has stabilized a little." As the commander, Lu Li was able to observe these details. He immediately concluded that the Princess of the Black Dragon had changed. It was obvious that the game officials had slightly lowered the difficulty of the Boss.
Dawnlight wanted to become a national game, so they could increase the difficulty and make it more playable. However, making a Boss that couldn't be defeated for a few weeks was too much.
Not only had Onyxia been weakened, but Ragnaros had also been weakened a lot. There were also the upper and lower levels of the Blackrock Spire. Most major guilds could now clear the Nightmare Difficulty, but the requirements for individual players were still relatively high. However, there were many ways for individual players to obtain equipment, and more individual players would enter the Trial Tower to try their luck.
Forget about Lu Li, he had never drawn anything good in the Tower of Trials.
"Then aren't we going to push down the Black Dragon sister today, heh heh …" Weilan Haifeng let out a perverted laugh before he was slammed into the wall by the Black Dragon Princess. Due to the poor positioning, the scene was a complete mess, and the team was easily wiped out.
Little Black Dragon: Even if my body is light and soft, you can't push me away just because you want to.
Weilan Haifeng: Little Black Dragon has abused me hundreds and thousands of times, but I treat her like my first love.
No matter how merciful the developers were, they couldn't let the First Clear of Nightmare Difficulty be too easy. They had to let the players compete with each other to make the game more playable.
"Feng Shao, five points will be deducted. Does anyone have any objections?" After reviving, Lu Li began to calculate the score.
"No problem …"
"Of course not!"
"Why should we have any objections?"
"F * ck, why don't you ask me if I have any objections? If you ask the others, of course they have no objections. It's not like I'm deducting their points. I say, this is the first time we've made a mistake and you're deducting so much. Aren't you afraid that I'll have a rebellious mentality?" Weilan Haifeng expressed his objection.
"The minority obeys the majority, 39: 1. Alright, five points deducted." Lu Li ignored him.
Actually, this kind of unnecessary mistake was quite damaging. Some potions could last forever, and it was fine even if they died. However, some potions' effects would disappear once they died. Every time the team was wiped, it was equivalent to everyone having to drink another potion.
Deducting five points from him was already letting him off easy. This guy didn't lack DKP anyway. If it was anyone else, Lu Li would have definitely scolded them a few times.
Weilan Haifeng was a person who cared about his reputation, so Lu Li tried not to scold him in front of everyone as much as possible.
"You win." Weilan Haifeng resentfully went up to start the fight. After the second battle, he was much more well-behaved.
This time, Lu Li brought Water Fairy with him, mainly because this team no longer lacked damage dealers in the second stage. Adding another Thief to the party wouldn't be a big deal. According to Wander, they had already openly hooked up with each other. It would be too heartless to let Water Fairy stand by outside, and they had to take care of the mood in Drizzle Court.
Otherwise, the title of scumbag would inevitably fall on Lu Li's head.
Lu Li didn't want to be a scumbag, so he brought Water Fairy with him to the dungeon.
No one had any objections, because with Water Fairy around, Lu Li's temper was very good. Even his voice was a little softer.
The first two stages were quite smooth.
After all, they had already fought for a week, and everyone knew what they needed to pay attention to.
"Feng Shao, World, focus on accumulating Aggro. Don't attack the small dragon." The purpose of this was to wait for Onyxia to land so that the Main Tank would have enough Aggro to pull the Boss immediately.
"F * ck, DPS, stop attacking. Can't you see that Feng Shao can't pull the Boss?" Feng Shao was helpless after two consecutive Taunts were resisted. Lu Li hurriedly ordered the other damage dealers to stop, "World, remember to use Taunt too. Use whatever skills you have. If you can't use Taunt, the whole team will be wiped."
Everyone listened to Lu Li's order to stop, but before the Black Dragon Princess landed, the ranged classes kept attacking her, and the Aggro was high. Only the Main Tank's Taunt could save the situation.
Onyxia finally landed completely, and World's Best Friend temporarily attracted her Aggro.
"Forget it, Feng Shao, stop Taunting. World, you pull the Boss. Everyone else, stop attacking for ten seconds and let him accumulate Aggro." Lu Li saw that a few of Weilan Haifeng's skills were resisted, and he was worried for him.
However, a Boss of this level was not easy to pull. No one could see Onyxia's level, but Lu Li seriously suspected that she was above level 65. Damage dealers could not be resisted due to the game's mechanics, but Taunt was more of a control skill than damage dealers, so the probability of it being resisted was higher.
In any case, the team finally entered the third stage smoothly.
Moreover, they had only been wiped once before, so the start was already a good situation. This gave everyone a lot of confidence in their hearts.
The third stage replicated almost all the attack methods of the first stage.
What was more special was that apart from the moths on the ground, the cracks would spew out special magma that could deal a lot of damage to the players. Under normal circumstances, as long as the players did not throw themselves at the magma, there would not be too much of a problem.
As one of the most difficult Bosses at level 60, Onyxia's skills could not be so simple.
At this time, she began to fear the players.
The players who were feared naturally had no way of controlling themselves. They would run around in all directions, so it was inevitable that they would be burned by the magma.
This kind of fear could not be dispelled, and the Protection Fear Barrier did not work.
Therefore, it was a bit of a headache. Lu Li had everyone deal with it very simply – stay away from the cracks. Even if they were feared, they would not necessarily run to the side of the cracks. Once the fear was over, they would immediately run back to where they were standing.
At this stage, they still could not OT, because OT was the main killer of the team.
After all, there were not many places that could be far away from the cracks on the ground. To ensure everyone's safety, they had to stand very close to each other. When everyone was standing in a group, the players in the circle could randomly OT and Taunt Onyxia to a large area.
Later on, the team was wiped here twice.
However, it was still considered smooth, and each time, they at least reached the third stage.
The third stage was actually easier than the second stage, but it was obviously more of a test of luck. One time, Weilan Haifeng was extremely unlucky. In the process of pulling the Black Dragon Princess to the designated destination, the Black Dragon Princess went straight to the second aggro, and the area where Huadi Liqing was at was blasted to a white ground.
In addition to the explosion of the lava on the ground, being feared into the lava, losing control of the tank's aggro, or frequently changing positions would put everyone in great danger, just like in the first stage. "Pay attention to your damage output and positioning.
"Pay attention to your damage output and positioning. Don't accidentally aggro the young dragon. Two Paladins, keep an eye on the Main Tank. Everyone else, pay attention to your own health, especially the healers. You only have to save the Main Tank when he's in danger. Otherwise, you can go ahead and die if you want. Keep yourself alive," Lu Li said.
It would be a pity to wipe in the third stage. Not only would it be a waste of time, but it would also waste everyone's enthusiasm.
By the time it was afternoon, the team was wiped again and again. Lu Li knew that there was no hope. At least, there was no way to defeat the Boss today when everyone was already mentally exhausted.
The only thing they gained was that they had already understood the details of the Boss's third stage. As long as they didn't make any mistakes …
Alright, it was a little difficult not to make mistakes. If they didn't make mistakes, they would have already defeated the Boss this time. The equipment was not bad, and they had enough potions. They basically had all the potions on the market, and the exclusive potions that couldn't be found on the market were also given to the First Clear team.
"Alright, we'll do it tomorrow. Everyone, disperse." Although there was still time, Lu Li didn't want to waste time with these sleepy fellows.
Everyone originally had great enthusiasm for killing the Boss and getting the First Clear. However, the repeated wipes had long extinguished this enthusiasm. Now that they heard that the event was over, they all left in high spirits.
Presumably, these fellows' gaming lives wouldn't be too boring.
The game had reached the stage of the maximum level of 60. In fact, it had already calmed down a little. The 16 hours of game time a day didn't need to be completely maxed out. There were only so many things that could be done every week. They could either go into the Instance Dungeon to get equipment, or kill monsters in the wild to get materials and gold coins, or practice life skills, or take care of leisure and entertainment.
This was a healthy gaming mode. Killing monsters for 16 hours without rest was not called a game. It was called internet addiction.
Before Dawnlight, there used to be some games that didn't have a time limit. Some naughty kids played for days and nights without rest. In the end, there were several cases of sudden death. Later, new laws and regulations were introduced that no game time was allowed to exceed 20 hours, even though the current technology was able to achieve physical hibernation during the game to a certain extent.
"What are you going to do later?" Water Fairy asked Lu Li.
"There might be a meeting to discuss the Donghua Cup." Lu Li paused and added, "The main thing is that Cat Dad will be hosting. He has more experience, so it doesn't matter if I'm there or not."
The implication was that if you had any suggestions, it was fine if you didn't attend the meeting. The typical incapable ruler mode was activated. From now on, there would be no morning court.
"Are you going to participate in the Donghua Cup?" Water Fairy asked.
"I'll report my name, but I probably won't participate. Cat Dad said that the Donghua Cup is for beginners," Lu Li explained.
No one knew when the Donghua Cup had become a place for the major clubs to train new players. Although there were also veterans leading the teams, the main players were all newcomers. Some hadn't even graduated from the beginners' training camp. However, there were also many people who started to rise from the Donghua Cup. The most famous was, of course, Water Fairy.
After playing games for a few months, Water Fairy slowly came into contact with gaming competitions.
She was rich and overbearing. With a wave of her hand, she poached a few masters from other clubs. She also deliberately inquired about the more outstanding newcomers of these clubs and gathered them all under her banner. At that time, the major clubs were terrified of this female nouveau riche.
The first competition they participated in was the Donghua Cup.
Although they didn't win the championship in their first competition, the runner-up and second place were enough to make this new name resound throughout the gaming circle.
"I'm not participating either," Water Fairy said. "I'm going to participate in another competition soon. I wonder if you're interested?"
"Competition? I've never heard of it. Are there any other competitions besides the Donghua Cup?" Lu Li asked curiously.
"You …" Water Fairy was a little annoyed. "Shouldn't you agree immediately? Your girlfriend wants to play with you, and you're actually so serious about it? It's not like I'm going to sell you out."
She originally wanted to find Star Baby to play, but Star Baby had no interest in this kind of competition at all. Although Water Fairy liked to play, she wasn't very good at it. If the two of them played together, they would just be abused. So, this time, she refused to compete with Water Fairy on the grounds that she was no longer single.
She also suggested to Water Fairy to find Lu Li. Anyway, it was a boyfriend's responsibility and obligation to play games with his girlfriend.
As long as Water Fairy mentioned it, Lu Li would probably agree without hesitation.
