Huanyu Technologies's game production capabilities weren't that great in the country.
However, to make a few small cheats was a piece of cake.
Under Chen Yu's instructions, Zou Tao set up a secret cheat squad.
Although this squad didn't make cheats for the sake of making money and didn't involve breaking the law, it still wouldn't be good for their reputation.
Being a bit more secretive was also a good thing.
In just a single week, Victorious Return's cheats had already appeared.
"Brothers, I found a Victorious Return cheat. It's really good."
"Really? What are its functions?"
"Auto pathfinding, auto mobs, auto looting, auto potions, auto ultimate …"
"So cool."
"Of course."
"Do you charge money?"
"It's free."
"Free. Where is it? Where is it? I want to use it."
"Here's the download link."
Who wouldn't want a free cheat?
As soon as the Huanyu Technologies cheat squad's first Victorious Return cheat was released, it instantly attracted the attention of countless players.
Moreover, because it was free, this kind of cheat squeezed the market out of other paid cheats.
At the same time, although this cheat had powerful functions, it didn't break the game's balance.
Penguin didn't plan to ban such a cheat when it came out.
After all, cheats had existed since the birth of online games.
Shengda's Hot-Blooded Legend couldn't avoid cheats, and Victorious Return couldn't avoid them either.
Apart from Huanyu Technologies' Legend of Mir, which had its own built-in cheats and strictly banned all other cheats, the various game companies didn't have much of a way to deal with these cheats.
In the beginning, Penguin had also tried to ban the various cheats that appeared in Victorious Return. However, they later discovered that this method of banning cheats wasn't particularly good. As long as their accounts were banned, these players would switch to other games. Wasn't the purpose of hosting games to let more people play? If too many accounts were banned, it would affect the game's profitability.
In the end, for the sake of making money, Penguin turned a blind eye to cheats.
As long as they didn't break the game's balance, they would allow these players to use cheats.
Moreover, sometimes these cheats were actually quite useful. After all, with so many auxiliary functions, it would be much easier for everyone to play the game. On the other hand, this also stimulated players to be online at the same time, and Penguin earned more money.
However, the Huanyu Technologies Hacking Team did not only do hacking for auxiliary functions.
After the first version of the plug-in quickly took over the market, the plug-in team introduced a new function.
This function increased the acceleration.
This acceleration was similar to Hot-Blooded Legend's Speed Changing Gear. Not only could it increase Movement Speed, but it could also increase Attack Speed.
Originally, such an acceleration cheat was very destructive to the game's balance. Logically speaking, it should be destroyed immediately.
But Penguin still didn't make a move.
It wasn't that they didn't want to make a move, but they had seen cheats like acceleration in the Legend of Mir. Moreover, everyone was using this acceleration. If you accelerate, I will also accelerate. Although it seemed like it would break the balance of the system, it would also allow the game to reach another kind of balance.
You might even have the illusion that as long as you used acceleration, the players' passion for the game would be even higher.
It was just like playing the Legend of Mir in his previous life. If there was no acceleration and everything followed the Shengda official website, no one would play it. Players were already used to acceleration. Without it, they would feel uncomfortable.
In fact, with acceleration, wouldn't it be even better for everyone to PvP?
Take a look at this skill. Normally, it could only be used once per second, but now it could be used seven or eight times per second.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
The sound of monsters being killed was very intoxicating.
In a moment of carelessness, Victorious Return's concurrent player count once again reached a new high.
This kind of stat should be celebrated with champagne. It was impossible to celebrate with a bottle of champagne.
However, Victorious Return's good days had come to an end.
Just as everyone was getting used to Victorious Return's Final Fantasy, Victorious Return came up with something even more destructive to the game's balance.
For example, the Wall Walk Cheat.
Well, the Wall Walk Cheat wasn't much.
Then what about this attack power increasing cheat?
What about this invincible cheat?
Although this invincibility didn't apply to players, but rather to monsters.
The meaning was simple. Monsters couldn't kill players, no matter how high level they were.
As a result, the players were happy.
All sorts of bosses, big and small, that they had never dared to challenge before, were all killed.
"Hahaha, awesome! I finally killed the Catwoman!"
"Yeah, damn it! This boss used to be able to wipe out our entire team. I didn't think I'd be able to kill it by myself."
"The Catwoman is nothing. I killed the Earth Flame Demon General."
"They're all trash. I even killed the Abyss Lord."
The players were incomparably excited.
This kind of gaming experience was something they had never experienced before.
However, in the face of such a game-breaking cheat, Penguin finally couldn't sit still.
"Block them! Block their accounts!"
Ma Huateng slammed the table in anger.
He didn't expect that disgusting cheat creator to be able to create such a cheat.
"No, if we block them, at least tens of thousands of players will be affected."
"Even tens of thousands of players will have to be blocked …"
"Let's think about it. Blocking accounts will have a big impact on us."
"How about we give them a warning first?"
"Alright."
Ma Huateng was also helpless.
He knew that if they really blocked tens of thousands of accounts, the players would probably go crazy.
However, even if they blocked a portion of the accounts first, it would be useless.
While Penguin quickly blocked a portion of the players, the affected players were instantly enraged.
"F * ck, Penguin, how dare you block my account?"
"Didn't I just use a cheat? I'm not the only one using it. A bunch of people are using it. Why didn't you block it?"
"What right do you have to block my account? Block the cheat if you dare."
"I'll never play Penguin's games again."
"Stop talking. Uninstall. 88 …"
One had to admit that these players had a point.
Logically speaking, blocking the cheat was the most correct thing to do. Why block the players' accounts?
If the cheat was blocked, the players naturally wouldn't use it. Similarly, the players wouldn't suffer any losses.
However, blocking the players' accounts directly was equivalent to chasing them away.
However, while the players had a point, Penguin couldn't explain it.
It wasn't like they didn't know this logic.
In principle, the client of an online game would be downloaded to the local computer.
Therefore, the cheat could change the game data through the local computer.
In other words, it was absolutely impossible to block the cheat.
Even if you could block one, another update would come. This cycle would never be able to block it.
Moreover, it wasn't like you could block these cheats.
Since the cheat couldn't be blocked, there was only one way, and that was to block the players' accounts.
The players' account data was saved in the game company's server. Blocking the players' accounts was equivalent to blocking the players' right to use the cheat.
Although this method was extreme, they had no other choice.
They couldn't let the players use the cheat all the time and destroy the game's balance.
