BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117: Tony’s Request
As much as there were many bugs that he considered funny, Alex knew that this type of bug took away a lot of immersion from players about the game.
Considering the game he was making was literally a new world, any bug that took away players\' immersion and reminded them that this was just a game would be a pretty big flaw.
Of course, this wasn\'t a roleplay game, where players were forced to follow roles and pretend they lived there, all players had full rights to talk about NPCs, or use knowledge outside the game to get benefits, such as guides or strategies. more efficient than other players have developed.
But he also knew that most players would enjoy just experiencing this world as if they were actually in another reality, so he simply used some GP to fix the game\'s bugs.
The world of Azeroth he made was immense, several times larger than the Azeroth that existed in his previous world.
Where a player would have to walk for 30 to 40 hours to cross a part of the map in their previous world on foot, in Elder Scrolls: Warcraft the player would need a few hours to do this.
Just like in WoW Classic and Skyrim, getting a mount would be a difficult task, especially considering that leveling up in Elder Scrolls: Warcraft would be as difficult, if not more difficult than in WoW classic, where a player with an average of 2 hours of game per day would need months to reach the maximum level.
As Elder Scrolls: Warcraft players would likely play many more hours a day in this world, Alex had to balance other measures to limit players\' leveling speed, as it wouldn\'t be fun to reach the maximum level so quickly.
Unlike WoW where the player had a greater focus on Endgame, where he had to reach the maximum level to really enjoy it, Alex used the Elder Scrolls side of it more, where the journey is much more important than the end.
Players would have different dungeons to do across levels, with much more enchanting rewards, which would keep players\' attention on this low-level content much longer, as well as a higher in-game death penalty, which would make items more powerful. even more necessary, to lower the difficulty for players who could achieve this.
With the finalization of the game and the end of the final bug test, Alex knew that the game was 100% complete and that if he logged in now he could even start playing, but Alex didn\'t.
He knew that the best time to play is when the world is swarming with players.
People vying for monsters to kill while groups defined tactics to level up, having to attack monsters faster, or taking chances in teams to kill monsters with higher levels, it was all part of the fun.
\'Although the human race and the Night Elves have a separate Starting Zone specifically for them, these places are sure to be the most crowded…\' Alex chuckled as he looked at the players\' interest stats on these two races.
Players who chose to play Gnomes and Dwarves would not have as much of a problem because of the low pick rate of these races, the same thing for Trolls and Undead players, who would have an easier life than players who selected Orcs or Taurens, but that was what was fun in that game.
This facility is sure to attract more players to these races after word spreads, which will contribute to a greater diversity of races in Azeroth.
Smiling proudly, Alex prepares to log into Oasis to play some games, but is surprised to see a notification that just arrived in his friends list.
[Tony: Hey Notch, tell me you\'re in New York…]
Alex was surprised by this, maybe Tony wanted to throw a party?
[Notch: I\'m close, why?]
[Tony: Great! Please, I\'m having a little trouble dealing with a giant monster here and I think your help would be appreciated… I\'ll send you the location.]
\'A giant monster? Maybe Hulk got out of control? But if I\'m not mistaken Hulk played with Ned from time to time…\' Alex was confused and opened the internet.
He didn\'t even have to search for news sites, the first thing that popped up for him when he Googled New York were several articles on a battle between Iron Man and a giant yellow monster.
Looking at the appearance of the giant monster, Alex soon recognized the monster as the Abomination, Hulk\'s enemy they battled in New York City, but looking at the news, why was Tony fighting this monster?
Opening the list of online players in Oasis, Alex soon found out why.
At this time, Hulk was at a bar drinking and dancing with other Horde players while Peter tried to take the drink out of Hulk\'s hand to prevent him from drinking more.
But this attitude only made Hulk more excited and he started breaking things in the bar with great happiness.
Seeing Hulk\'s attitude, the other players saw that this looked like fun and started to break everything inside that bar.
The bar owner? It was also breaking everything while drinking with the players, since this furniture was virtual, the repair of this was extremely low, so the man was not worried at all and drunkenly had fun with others.
But seeing Hulk happily drinking like this, Alex soon understood the problem.
If Hulk was having fun in Oasis, the only person who could handle Abomination these days was Iron Man!
But considering the difference in strength between the two, it was unlikely that Tony could handle that big guy, even though Abomination\'s strength was weaker than Hulk\'s, it was still far greater than what Tony could handle.
[Notch: Alright, I\'ll be there soon.]
Knowing that this whole mess was caused because of his interference and that without his help the chance of the Abomination destroying half of New York was too great, Alex knew that he would have to leave to help Tony.
Using the Mystic powers he previously purchased to visit Twitch, Alex quickly assumed Notch\'s appearance and prepared to leave.
As much as he wanted to drive Bee away, and Bee was having a great time driving through the Oasis and Alex didn\'t want to get in the way, he knew Bee couldn\'t get there fast enough, so there was only one alternative.
\'Let\'s spend some more GP and buy a skill that helps me get around.\' Alex thought as he looked at the list of skills he could buy with GP.
Even though he had spent several million GP in the last few months, the amount of GP he gained was also absurdly large.
And considering thousands of GP were being added to his account every second, both from players spending it in Oasis and from players pre-purchasing Elder Scrolls: Warcraft, Alex had more than enough to buy the skill he wanted .
Among all the movement skills he had access to, the one he most wanted to be the most practical was the Jumper skill, a movie he watched many years ago, but which marked his memory with the possibilities that this skill had.
Since this skill had obvious weaknesses with electricity, where prepared agents could handle the movie\'s protagonist with ease, the GP price of this skill wasn\'t very high, only 600,000 GP.
Considering how practical this skill was despite the weakness, the price was too low for Alex, something completely acceptable for him.
And of course, not to look weak, Alex also bought a flight skill.
Not a skill as powerful as Superman\'s, as the price for that was tens of millions of GP, but a simple flying skill that is taught at Kamar Taj.
Of course, this is a very advanced skill in Kamar Taj that few sorcerers can learn, Future Stranger being one of them, although Stranger prefers to use his cloak to fly, but as Alex had already unlocked Mana with some spells he learned from Harry Potter, the price required to learn this flight has been greatly reduced.
It would be even cheaper to buy a flying broom from Harry Potter, but Alex found that too ridiculous and was against the idea, preferring to pay more GP and have a cooler and more beautiful flight like Stranger.
"Okay, I didn\'t think that my first flight would be for a battle, but who sent me to make such a big mess…" Alex thought as he remembered a picture he saw on the internet of the place where the battle was taking place and used the skill Jumper to teleport there.
Thus, Notch would make his first appearance as a hero!
