Chapter 582: Chapter 553: The Iteration Speed of Cloud Dream
“200 dollars! Just 200 dollars!!”
Turner slapped himself on the face, his expression twisted, full of regret.
He missed it by just a few seconds!!
Without any hesitation, he logged into the ga first. Forget about live streaming and comnts; he’ll deal with that after he’s in the ga!
…
Due to the ti zone difference, it’s exactly 7 pm in Daxia at this mont.
Cloud Dream’s release of trailers, ga sales, and content updates always follow Daxia ti. The first round of updates is released at this ti so that players who have finished work or school can directly play the improved ga.
However, this timing is sowhat unique: it’s precisely when so people have finished work, while so are still working overti.
Even among those who have already finished work, so are already in the ga, while others haven’t logged in due to reasons such as long commutes, having dinner, or taking care of their families.
As a result, the split between players who received compensation and those who didn’t is almost 30-70.
Countless players complained about the unfairness in the announcent’s comnt section and demanded compensation for themselves – or at least, cover the compensation for players who bought the ga early!
Shuihua is one of them. Just as she was having dinner with her mom and dad, her mobile phone received Cloud Dream’s update announcent. She casually opened it, only to realize that she had missed the compensation for the fix.
She angrily comnted under the announcent: “Stingy! Petty! Unfair!”
Truth be told, after watching several live streams, Shuihua’s enthusiasm for “Battlefield” was rather average.
When she first played “Assassins’ Alliance,” she realized that her gun skills weren’t very good…
She even received the [rciful Gun] achievent in a [Freedom Day] match because she didn’t kill anyone but saved 16 dying players.
Although the angelic halo was beautiful, the achievent was too mocking, and she was embarrassed to use it.
Later, “Speed Chase” didn’t improve much either.
However, both gas were a bit special: one had [Assassin Bloodline]’s bullet ti, while the other had [Combat Sensing]’s intuitive reminder.
Now, playing an entirely realistic gunfight ga with no “extraordinary” abilities to help…
Shuihua felt that if she went in and played, the situation would be very bleak.
But even if it would be bleak, she had to try the Cloud Dream ga anyway.
With this in mind, the 1000 war bonds in compensation were extrely important for players like her who had poor gun skills!
It hurts just thinking about it!
Shuihua put down her mobile phone, transford her heartache into appetite, and imdiately got up to refill her rice bowl.
She needed to be full and energized to have the confidence to get through the tutorial level.
Shuihua was sowhat intimidated by the battlefield environnt of the tutorial level; otherwise, she would have entered the ga much earlier.
“Can Cloud Dream set the tutorial level to be skippable?” Shuihua wondered as she refilled her bowl.
…
Yelang hasn’t even had ti for dinner yet. When he saw the update announcent, he was still explaining the previous match’s issues to his viewers:
“First, I have to admit: my static vision isn’t very good.”
“At the sa ti, I have to admit: my dynamic vision also seems to have so problems…”
The audience kept mocking:
“So you’re just blind, right?”
“This is the most tactful way I’ve ever heard soone say ‘I’m blind.’”
…
Naturally, Yelang wasn’t convinced and was about to refute when the announcent popped up, interrupting his attempt to defend himself.
Yelang is different from players like Turner and Shuihua who haven’t played the ga yet. He’s been playing all afternoon, so he naturally reads the changes one by one carefully, trying to understand what Cloud Dream had fixed and adjusted.
However, even after playing for a full five hours, many of the changes still left him with a confused expression:
[The Sinai Desert Cavalry Saddle was too hard, it has been corrected – it will no longer chafe your buttocks when running.]
[The warhorse isn’t very smart and might get stuck in tank wreckage, making it unable to jump out. This has been corrected – the warhorse will now deal with obstacles more intelligently.]
[For players with a height less than 165cm, the height of the broken opening in the building south of Amiens’s Point C is very unfriendly – apologies, the opening shape has been changed to a slope, suitable for players of all heights.]
[At 62 ters northeast from Grappa Mountain’s Point B, the edge of the crater is too steep, 480,000 players worldwide have slipped here – the slope has been adjusted and friction has been increased.]
[The average winning rate of both sides in the Argonne Forest is unequal, adjusting two machine gun points slightly to balance the battle.]
[5 ters east of Argonne Forest’s Point C, 730,000 players have collided with the sa tree – adjusting the tree bark texture to make the tree colliding experience more comfortable for players.]
…
The more Yelang read, the more puzzled he beca. These fixes seed to be quite serious and were all for the sake of ga balance and player experience.
But the more he read, the more he felt an old joke stuck in his throat, not knowing how to spit it out.
Besides these absurd fixes, many of the detailed adjustnts below were related to firearms and vehicles.
Especially the feel of firearms grip, stability, range, recoil, kill distance, etc., these subtle parater adjustnts occupy a large proportion.
Yelang played all afternoon without feeling the need for any adjustnts, and he didn’t understand if they would be better after the adjustnts.
He could only guess that these were targeted adjustnts made by Cloud Dream based on the massive player ga data collected in one afternoon.
“Honestly, Cloud Dream’s actions are really fast!” Yelang exclaid.
The audience in the live broadcast room obviously understood Yelang’s aning:
“5 hours, all these changes are completed and updated directly, such a terrifying efficiency!”
“Is this the iteration speed of Cloud Dream?”
“With this speed, there will be more players in the evening, and even more updates in the morning, right?”
“You an [more compensation]?”
“Is this the Early Access Version? I fell in love with it! Please continue next ti!”
…
Of course, so players disagreed: “I guess the next update might be on Monday because tomorrow is Saturday, and Cloud Dream is off.”
As soon as this idea ca out, the live broadcast room was instantly filled with question marks and “absurd” comnts.
“Brothers, let grab a al, and I’ll be back in 10 minutes!” Yelang gave the audience a heads up, “When I co back, let’s start playing in the [National Warfare] mode, and let’s have a great ti tonight!”
With that, he hurriedly disconnected and took care of personal matters.
anwhile, more and more new players who had just finished work or school started to enter the ga.
As the influx of new players continued, the heat of “Battlefield” release not only did not fade even slightly, but it only grew more intense!
At this point, a large number of players who went offline to eat and rest began to discuss their views on the ga extensively.
This was the first-hand evaluation given by the real players after they played the ga, definitely more authentic and reliable than the previous evaluations.
On the [RANK-Popoular Ga Rating], the current rating for “Battlefield” is ridiculously high, reaching 9.2.
There were no twists and turns experienced by “My World” before; it started at the peak!
By the way, the current rating of “My World” has climbed to 8.8 points, very close to the “outstanding” level of 9 points.
Little Chun and the others are planning to launch an event next week to further increase this rating.
After discussion and voting, the specific event they finally decided on is-
[Redstone Challenge!]
In their plan, this will be a competition open to all players around the world, and they plan to give the highest prize money as well.
Although this event is different from the past events by Cloud Dream, as it can’t involve millions of players – since redstone has a threshold after all.
However, the developnt team believes that this is the easiest event to “raise the rating.”
Looking at the [8.8] score, the whole team was on the verge of obsessive-compulsive disorder!
…
Returning to the topic of “Battlefield,” at this point, the evaluations of “Battlefield” on social dia started to move in two different directions.
And as more and more evaluations ca in, this difference was only growing larger!
