"Ahhhhh! After I changed factions, there were no more Elementalists! Gone! It's gone! "
Not long after Roland's Starship arrived at Keqibaar, such a post appeared on the Starry Sky Forum, causing everyone to be surprised.
No more Elementalists? What do you mean?
As soon as the post was published, it attracted countless curious onlookers to take a look.
[Ahhhhh, why did I have to be so greedy! Why should I be curious? I've been playing since the First Beta until now and I've painstakingly leveled up to Level 29, ah!!!]
[Lousy producers, I'm going to fight it out with you!]
Just by looking at the main building, one could tell how devastated the owner of the building was. It was as if he had become the incarnation of a groundhog. The entire screen was filled with exclamation marks.
At this time, those who were still on the forums were players who had not been able to make it to Planet Keqibalr and those who had been following the game closely. There were also those who had just finished Deng Jianan's stream and were immediately asking questions.
[Let's rub off on the Almighty first! Did the Almighty successfully switch factions? Can you tell us more about the faction playstyle?]
[What do you mean there are no more Elementalists?]
[Holy sh * t! Don't tell me I'll be stripped of my Elementalist status after switching factions? Is Elementalist a unique class in Roland?]
There was a lot of discussion under the post. Soon, the poster pitifully came out and gave an answer.
The method of changing factions was very simple. As long as they triggered a mission from another faction, they would have the option to change factions. Deng Jianan's live stream also gave them a reference.
Then came the most crucial part — the punishment for changing factions!
Out of curiosity, this player chose the second option after triggering the mission.
As a result, after changing factions, the first thing that happened was that the reputation of the Roland faction and the favorability of the NPCs were all reset to zero, and the most important thing was —
His identity and abilities as an Elementalist were also stripped away!
[Elementalist is a special class unique to Eshe Star. It was born based on Eshe Star's environment and civilization.]
[Escher belongs to the Roland Empire]
[You have left the Roland Empire. Therefore, you no longer belong to Eshe Star. The Elemental Spirits of Eshe Star no longer care for you. You have lost all elemental powers.]
[Ding. You are no longer a Wind Elementalist. Your level has decreased to lv5.]
[Ding. Congratulations on joining the Sgeta faction]
[Ding. Personal level has reached lv5. Experience bar frozen. Can only continue leveling up after changing class.]
[Gentle Reminder: Since your current camp is a special camp, you need to explore the power upgrade system on your own. You can go to the planet of your camp and ask the local residents.]
The OP released a series of screenshots, which made everyone sigh. The most heart-wrenching was the warm reminder at the end, which could make people vomit blood.
A special faction actually had to explore its own power leveling system? He had to admit that the degree of freedom in this game was awesome.
[My condolences.]
[It's so tragic, I can't even bear to laugh, hhh]
[The little tail above has been exposed 23333]
[Am I the only one who feels that the self-exploration of the power system is not done yet?]
[That's not necessarily the case. Maybe the OP really got lucky and entered some hidden faction? Maybe I'll be very awesome after I finish exploring and level up?]
[Do you want this luck?]
The OP only replied with an emoticon and then posted a screenshot of the current attributes.
Every player had their initial attributes when they entered the game. According to the statistics, the highest would not exceed 10. Before lv5, every level up would only add 1 point to all attributes.
Therefore, the OP's current attributes could only be described as terrible. His vitality was only 9 points, which meant that he only had 900 HP …
Without a doubt, he had successfully taken the title of the weakest player in the entire server.
The worst thing was that not only were his attributes so low, all of the elemental skills that he had learned had disappeared. He couldn't even open the faction inventory, let alone exchange for them.
And the most torturous thing was that the road ahead was so vast!
The OP didn't know how to get to that planet Sgeta at all!
[I'm going to break down!]
[That Sgeta guy, he didn't even recognize me as his hero! Then, he slapped me to death!]
[Ahhhh, he slapped me to death and said that I was weak, saying that I was a scammer! God damn it, someone help me kill him!!!]
Under the OP's broken down replies, a group of other players who heard the news came and unkindly posted a short video and screenshot of the OP's death.
Someone even posted a link to the live stream.
Deng Jianan, who heard the news, also clicked on the link to the live stream.
In the live stream, a man dressed in the Roland Empire with the ID "Super Invincible Hottie" was lying on the floor of the hotel lobby miserably.
The blood that flowed out of his mouth was treated with white light by the game, so it didn't look very scary.
This was probably the OP who switched factions.
There were a dozen strange looking alien NPCs around the OP. The one who was held back by the security guard looked like a normal human. But at that moment, his face was ashen and he looked very irritable —
Anyone who accidentally killed someone in public and was caught red-handed would not be happy!
The live stream bullet screen was filled with "hahaha".
[I knew it was funny, but I didn't expect it to be this funny.]
[From the post, although the OP is very pitiful, I still want to say that this Sgeta guy is pitiful too!]
[Yeah, the OP is too fragile. That guy just gave him a light slap, who knew that the OP would die?]
[It's definitely a scam.]
When Deng Jianan saw this, he couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, he felt that it was a close call.
Luckily, he was firm enough!
His live stream was still on. The viewers who came back from reading the post also flooded the bullet screen with "6666". The fans who instigated him with a thousand rocket launchers also apologized.
The OP was a good person, and the fans didn't want to see him get into trouble.
Deng Jianan felt good, and at the same time, he felt some sympathy for the OP.
Star Age didn't seem to allow people to create alternate accounts. Now that the OP's account seemed to be completely useless, he just didn't know if they would delete the account and start again during the open beta.
The game team also held an emergency meeting about this.
After all, no one expected that during the second beta, players would be able to go to other planets and encounter aliens other than Planet Beirut.
According to the original plan, this event was supposed to happen during the third expansion pack.
The first phase of the game was naturally to develop Roland, the second phase was to fight Planet Beirut, and by the third phase, Roland should have developed enough that players could operate mechs and battleships.
When they went to other planets and changed factions, although they had to give up their Elementalist identity, they would have the ability to protect themselves.
Moreover, the training of one's body and skills had nothing to do with the identity of an Elementalist. The attributes obtained from training would not disappear because of the identity of an Elementalist.
For example, there was currently only one Weaponsmith apprentice in the game. He had been smithing for a month, and the proficiency points he obtained from smithing was a lifelong bonus.
According to the plan, the third phase would start at least two years after the game's open beta. By then, the players' basic attributes would have improved a lot, and they wouldn't be as fragile as they were at the beginning.
This way, even if they lost their Elementalist identity, it wouldn't be a big problem.
However, who would have thought that before the second beta ended, players would be able to go to other planets, meet aliens, and accept the faction change mission?
Wouldn't it be suicide to change factions at this time?
Planets that weren't beginner villages were not designed to be friendly to players. This kind of gameplay was meant to be expanded, and it was meant for experienced players to seek excitement.
The gaming team held an emergency meeting to discuss how to clean up the mess. They couldn't help but want to delete the files and start over.
There was still time now, but when the open beta started, there would be no more chance!
While the gaming team was holding the meeting, the live broadcast of Kichibal Hotel's lobby changed.
Roland's NPC guards, who had been sent back to their rooms earlier, walked over with solemn expressions.
They were wearing the uniforms of the Royal Guards, and they walked with a sense of propriety. Judging from their aura and discipline, it was obvious that they were a regular army.
If it weren't for their different uniforms, the hotel security would have thought that they were the army that maintained law and order.
"Captain Andrew!"
Some of the onlookers went up to greet Captain Andrew. However, this NPC captain, who had been on good terms with them yesterday, only nodded with a cold expression.
Even the other guards behind him had a very serious expression on their faces.
The person in charge of the hotel saw that they were together and quickly went up to communicate with them. Although the guest from Planet Sgeta still looked unhappy, he still negotiated with Andrew.
After all, he really didn't do it on purpose.
He had a good chat with that guest, and the guest had a good impression of him because the guest had mastered the language of his planet. The guest even agreed to be the guest's interpreter.
However, the guest suddenly went crazy and said that he was a hero. He also said a bunch of nonsense that the guest didn't understand at all.
At this time, his friend happened to arrive, and the guest didn't want to argue with him, so he reached out and pushed the guest's shoulder. As a result, the crazy guest fell to the ground and died!
He really didn't want to kill the guest!
The guest from Planet Sgeta felt that he had been wronged. He came out to relax, but he didn't expect to encounter such an unlucky and unlucky thing!
However, there were witnesses and material evidence. If he didn't want to go to the Galactic Court and be detained, he could only negotiate with the guest.
Andrew didn't treat him well, but at least he accepted the guest's proposal. After the guest paid the money, the matter was resolved smoothly.
As for the "corpse" of the guest, it had already been taken away by the guards.
The guest from Planet Sgeta didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It was so smooth that he wondered if he had really been scammed.
Why else would his companions be so cold? Some of them were even laughing!
However, whether it was his own examination or the judgment of the medical robot, that person couldn't be more dead. It was simply too strange.
In the end, he could only conclude that the dead person didn't have a high status in his country. He didn't even have a good relationship with others, so no one was sad about his death.
In the end, he could only accept that he was unlucky. At the same time, because of the psychological trauma of accidentally killing someone, he didn't have the mood to stay in the hotel anymore. He checked out early and left.
As for the dead player, his corpse was brought back to his room by Andrew and the others. The players who were watching the live broadcast wanted to shamelessly follow them, but they were stopped by the guards.
At this time, it was probably because Andrew left that the guards' attitude towards the players became better. However, their expressions were still complicated.
The players looked at each other in confusion.
Just as they were about to ask, they saw a young NPC guard say with red eyes, "We all know that Mr. Super Invincible Hottie has betrayed Roland …"
F * ck!
The players who were just watching the show were shocked. The NPCs actually knew about the hero changing factions immediately!
And they even defined it as a betrayal!
"We know that Mr. Super Invincible Hottie is just an exception. It has nothing to do with the other heroes."
The guard's eyes were red, and his voice was slightly choked. "Mr. Super Invincible Hottie even taught me how to play cards … Why … Why did he do this …"
Looking at his sad appearance, the players were at a loss and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
For them, changing factions was just a way to enrich the gameplay. However, from the perspective of the NPCs, wasn't this an act of betrayal?
Two days ago, they were still calling each other brothers. Suddenly, they turned traitor. Who wouldn't be heartbroken?
They could only blame the fact that Star Age was too realistic. Although they knew it was fake, they unknowingly put themselves in the shoes of the players and felt for it.
The players comforted the guard and promised that they would never betray Roland. They also didn't dare to plead for Mr. Super Invincible Hottie. They were worried that they would get into trouble.
However, they couldn't help but be curious. So, why did Andrew and the others bring Mr. Super Invincible Hottie's corpse back to their room? To whip the corpse?
Someone couldn't help but privately messaged Mr. Super Invincible Hottie and told him that since he was already like this, why not do a live stream to make everyone laugh and gain popularity at the same time.
He was now famous in the entire server. Others couldn't help but be envious.
Of course, in the end, he only got the word "f * ck off".
Mr. Super Invincible Hottie was almost driven crazy. These guys were too mean! They had taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain!
He was now "dead" and could only be revived in half an hour. He couldn't talk to people in his soul state. He could only watch the live stream on the forum and then watch the whole process of him being mercilessly ridiculed.
Of course, although he was lying on the floor of the room, he still saw the players who were blocked outside through the live stream. He also heard the guard's words.
He was now regretting it!
Why did he have to be so mean? Why?!
Now, Andrew didn't even know what to do with him.
After they carried his corpse into the room, they threw it on the floor. Then, they stood in front of him with swords in their hands. This made him very nervous.
There shouldn't be any restrictions in this game, right? No way, right?
As time passed, Mr. Super Invincible Hottie couldn't take the pressure anymore. He felt that he should record a video to keep evidence in case something unexpected happened.
Since they were going to record a video, why not start a live stream? If something happened during the live stream, he could ask for help.
As for going offline?
He couldn't go offline. He still had to find a way to return to the Roland faction.
Since he could switch factions by accepting quests, would he be able to switch factions if he accepted a quest from Andrew? Although he had to start from the beginning, it was better than this situation!
Therefore, Mr. Super Invincible Hottie started a live stream as everyone wished.
At this time, his death penalty was finally over. Mr. Super Invincible Hottie chose to revive on the spot.
When they saw him sitting up again after losing all signs of life, Andrew and the others didn't show any signs of surprise. They just couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"The talent of a hero is really amazing."
Mr. Super Invincible Hottie was about to say that he was just confused, but the NPCs didn't give him a chance to speak.
Andrew stared at him and said in a low voice, "Mr. Super Invincible Hottie, since you have chosen to betray Roland, we have nothing to say."
"According to His Majesty's orders, the Empire won't make things difficult for you this time since you have contributed a lot to Roland in the past."
"But, please take off your clothes."
Mr. Super Invincible Hottie was dumbfounded. What the f * ck, what are they trying to do? Are they really going to do something to me?
Then, he heard Andrew continue. "There are also weapons, exxon coins, and everything else from Roland. Please leave them before you go."
"Please don't set foot on Eshe Star in the future. If you are discovered, you will be charged with treason and executed on the spot!"
That's right, this was indeed arranged by Xu Sili.
When Mr. Super Invincible Hottie chose to leave the Roland faction, he received a notification.
At that time, he had ordered some red wine and was about to have a drink with Si Sheng. The atmosphere was just right, but he was interrupted by this notification.
Xu Sili was in a bad mood.
He didn't expect the faction gameplay to start so soon.
From the beginning, he knew that since there was a faction setting, Roland wouldn't be the only faction, so he was mentally prepared.
However, he didn't expect that the faction gameplay would be triggered just by bringing them out. Moreover, someone had successfully switched factions as soon as they arrived at Keqibalr.
He asked Xiao Wu to check the surveillance footage, but he didn't see anything special. Listening to the conversation, he couldn't find any information related to faction switching.
He guessed that the player had triggered some condition.
Sure enough, after asking Second Brother, he found out that as long as the player triggered a mission from another faction, they could switch to another faction.
Xu Sili was a little speechless about this setting, but he still had to solve the problem first.
He didn't have any bad feelings towards that player.
It was normal for players to switch factions. There were even traitors in online games. It was very difficult for players to stay in one faction, unless they had deep feelings for the faction.
However, this was from the perspective of the players. As the leader of the faction, he definitely couldn't let the players drag him down at this stage.
Although it was very difficult for players to leave Eshe Star without his permission during the open beta, there were still traitors who defected to Beirut!
What if these traitors lured the players to defect, or made the players become spies? Xu Sili had to be careful.
He could accept players joining other factions, but not Beirut.
Those annoying Lizardmen, if it weren't for them, Roland wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now. Not to mention, they once wanted to destroy the Guardian Circle of Orchid City!
Not to mention that the Guardian Circle was opened at the cost of the previous Emperor's life, and the lives of millions of people in Roland were almost finished. How could Xu Sili let this go?
In order to guard against this, he had to be heavy-handed with the first player to switch factions as an example to others.
However, what he didn't expect was that after the player changed factions, the Elementalist's power was directly stripped.
Because he accepted the mission of Star Exploration, Xu Sili could see his information and found that he directly dropped from Level 29 to Level 5, which was almost the same as a blank new account.
Then he was directly killed by the NPC.
It was a bit tragic. Xu Sili couldn't help but sympathize with him.
However, he continued to be ruthless.
When the player changed factions, a new prompt appeared on his faction panel. As the leader of the faction, he could determine the behavior of the player this time.
There were three options: Traitor, Ally, Passerby.
Xu Sili didn't hesitate to choose "Traitor", so there was the scene of Andrew and the others going to the hall.
They were originally aggressive and wanted to capture the player, but in the end, Xu Sili softened. After all, he still had to pay attention to the players' experience, so he sent a new instruction to Andrew.
However, it was obvious that this arrangement was too cruel for Super Invincible Hottie.
If he returned to Roland and was hunted down by the NPCs of the entire server, how could he continue playing the game? And looking at the situation, it was impossible for him to return with the spaceship.
But when he successfully changed factions … his spawn point changed! He was no longer in Roland, but in the capital of Planet Sgeta.
"No, I don't want to leave Roland!"
Super Invincible Hottie cried and shouted, "I was just curious … I know I was wrong! Please forgive me, let me go back to Roland … I beg you! "
Of course, Xu Sili couldn't allow him to come back. If he agreed to let him come back, then the players would think that it was easy to change factions in the future. What would they do?
What did they think of Roland as? That they could come and go as they pleased?
Even if it was an unintentional mistake, he was the first to do so, and according to his second brother, now everyone knew about it.
Therefore, Xu Sili mercilessly refused him, and no longer cared about this matter, leaving it to Andrew.
No one would like a traitor, and no one would like a fence-sitter.
Andrew was also impartial. After leaving behind all the things on the traitor, he slapped him to death, and then ordered the guards to carry him out and dispose of him.
Knowing that the traitor could be resurrected, he didn't have any psychological burden.
This matter was temporarily put to rest. Xu Sili knew that the game team was still in a meeting, and they might come up with countermeasures to compensate the players, but it was none of his business at the moment.
In short, after this incident, the players would have to think carefully about changing factions in the future.
And Xu Sili wasn't in the mood to drink anymore, so he disguised himself again, and then pulled Si Sheng out of the door, preparing to visit this famous tourist planet.
Even though Si Sheng was depressed, he could only do as he was told.
