Chapter 484 - No Need For Tactics (1/2)

Since this game’s so-called beta release, the game officials had been idle, and after all this time, they only updated some game data and added two maps that no one had been able to go to yet.

Although Roland did go to Paradise of Life once, it was a pa.s.sive visit, not an active one.

Now even if you asked him to go again, he wouldn’t be able to find his way.

So it didn’t count.

Usually, if there was no need, the game officials wouldn’t even bother to make an announcement. Netizens called them the most chill game officials.

It was surprising that such idle game officials made a game event.

Roland clicked on the event details link.

The long page of text took some time to read, and Roland tsked, a little upset. The limitations were significant, especially for both him and Schuck, and they were simply the following:

First of all, to keep the game fair, there wouldn’t be one-versus-one matches, because some professions naturally countered other professions.

Second, all partic.i.p.ants would be forcibly locked at level five, with the higher going down and the lower going up.

Third, half an hour before the start of the game, all players’ consciousness would be transported to a huge arena. Every player’s equipment would be stripped and stored in their Backpack, and only equipment provided by the game system could be used, with half an hour given to the players to choose their setup.

Fourth, special “foreign objects” wouldn’t be brought into play, such as Schuck’s Fire Dragon Princess, but a spellcaster’s contracted magic pet wouldn’t be restricted.

Fifth, spells with an effective damage range greater than a five-meter radius would not work, such as Roland’s nuclear fireball, which was already an epic spell and too powerful and impossible to counter once it appeared in a game event.

Sixth, at most 50 people per team would be allowed on the field in the team scramble survival tournament.

Seventh, the maximum duration of a team scramble tournament was two weeks, during which the game world would be temporarily frozen and wouldn’t affect the flow of the player’s game in any way.

There were other notes on the tournament rules, so it seemed the officials were trying to be as fair as possible.

It was fair to others, but the restrictions on F6 were much greater.

The dragon princess couldn’t partic.i.p.ate in the battle, Roland was missing his strongest crowd-attacking method, and the epic equipment they had was sealed.

For example, Schuck’s Heart of Light, a divine artifact, and Roland’s Mind-Calming Necklace, both of which were things that could change the situation of a battle, could not be used anymore.

Roland opened the forum after reading the detailed description of the event.

He discovered that the players on the forums, as he expected, were happy with the official’s restrictions on F6. “Ah, good job game officials, cheaters should be severely restricted.” “They’re not exactly cheaters, it’s just that these two are either too talented or too lucky.”

“I don’t care if he’s talented or lucky, if he’s better than me, he’s cheating (doge).”

“It’s indeed been made fair, but the truth is that it’s not fair. Roland and Schuck also worked hard to reach this level, they didn’t cheat. Who will make sure that it’s fair for them when the game officials do this? Is there going to be a day in the future when some of us are just as strong and just as restricted as they are, will you still think it’s fair then?”

“Game events are only interesting when everyone’s on the same starting line. If we don’t restrict these two, then the winner of the tournament will definitely be predetermined.”

“So what if the two of them are restricted, this way the Phoenix Guild, which is full of Elven Summoners, will come out on top. Who can deal with a large number of summoned beasts without a wide-range offensive spell?”

“Maintaining summons requires magic power, but it’s not a problem for the girls to take turns summoning. Restricting the F6 guild and thinking about the fact that there are still a group of phoenixes gives me a headache.” “You guys think that limiting Roland’s group attack spells limits an extremely talented Mage like Roland? Dream on.”

“Attacking is the basis of all victory. I can’t imagine, without offensive spells, what else can Roland do? What’s the difference between him and a normal Mage player? At most, he has better battle sense and positioning, and can fight three or four at a time. This is still within the capabilities of a normal person, and many high-end players can do it.”

“We’ll never understand how scary a real Mage is.”

This last comment was from the almighty O’Neal.

Roland laughed. It was true as O’Neal said, although the game officials limited the range of his magical attacks, the blue fireball still had a range to it. Five-meter radius, that meant ten meters in diameter, which wasn’t small.

Since it couldn’t have a wide range, it wouldn’t be bad to launch several smaller ones. Besides, Mages didn’t only have evoking magic; there were several other types of magic.

Many support types of magic were capable of turning the tides if used properly.

When today’s game time was over, Roland exited from the game and rode a public bike to the cold drink bar.

As usual, Schuck was the first to arrive and had already had the waiter prepare breakfast.

Roland still wasn’t shy about pouring himself a bowl of soy milk before picking up a youtiao and eating it, chatting casually with Schuck while they waited for their other friends to come over.

About half an hour later, everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived.

Betta, who was still in college, certainly couldn’t run back.

Schuck finished his soy milk, put down the porcelain bowl, and said, “What do you all think about the team survival battle, just the seven of us and no more?”
