Chapter 135 - : New version live! (1/2)
Confused and shocked, the players started looking at the patch notes.
New cinematic? Very cool, but it’s barely three minutes long, and after watching so many incredible cinematics, the players were starting to desensitise to it.
New settings? Able to freely rebind keys? Ummm. seems useful, but this feature is too simple! It’s probably really simple to implement too!
Therefore the key content in this update must be the three maps!
Therefore the players started trying to make sense of these maps.

Many players have noticed World Editor when Warcraft just launched.
But many lost interest after taking a few looks. Although it wasn’t complicated, it was difficult to learn without any guidance. Moreover, as most players focused on the story and combat of the game, very few tried to learn the World Editor.
This implementation was similar to that of Plants vs Zombies, map sharing, rating and downloading all came with the game, allowing players to make maps as they wish.
The players would eventually discover the World Editor when they get bored of playing against one another, so Chen Mo aws only fastracking that process.
It didn’t take long before players tried out the maps.
“Protect Athena? Why do we need to protect Athena?”
“Who knows, maybe defending isn’t that important? Wow, there are so many heroes to pick from!”
“I pick Demon Hunter!”
“I pick Blademaster!”
“Uhh, I seemed to have picked a healer.”
“Huh? How come the abilities are different? My goodness, my Blademaster seems so strong. I have an Omnislash and a crit. I can even put points into attributes?”
“So can my Demon Hunter!”
“There’s a shop too, there’s so many incredible items to buy from the shop!”
“The enemies are there! Quick, stop that opening!”
“I’ll kill them, you block them off!”
“We defended! Wow, there are so many attribute books on the ground, and a lot of money too! Pick it up!”
“I’m buying equipment!”
“I leveled up! Give me a second to see what I’ve learnt!”
“Hurry, the enemy are here again!”

“Tower defence? What’s the difference between this and the other Tower Defence games on the market?”
“Wow, we can play together. We have separate lanes!”
“The towers can be leveled up! You can turn them into Heroes too!”
“Seems interesting!”
“Stop leaking! What! How did you leak three!”
“No, we have to break down where everyone is placing their towers. We need to manage the few key entrances.”
“You guys are terrible, you should put it like this…”

“Escape Pyramid? This sounds like an action adventure game!”
“… How could you include an action adventure game in my RTS? My VR pod is crying…”
“Take a look, it says there are many game modes inside.”
