Chapter 150 Galaxy Times 2 (1/2)
”I am a beta player from Big Horn Village. A few days ago, I changed my class to mechanic with Black Phantom. Initially, I thought this is a very strong class, but after switching, I realized that being a mechanic is totally different from what I expected. The skills are trashy, and the equipment is easily damaged. I can only repair it after buying the materials. My gun just died like this! I'm so mad!
”The combat power is rather weak, too. One public beta test player who was four levels lower than me came up for a challenge. He didn't even have a main class, and his sub-class was a mere [Hunter]. We fought for eleven rounds, and yet, I didn't win any of them at all! For a main class to lose to a subclass, while being four levels higher, the mechanic class is just a pile of shit.
”I was fooled by that video of Black Phantom. Damn I was scammed. Those senior NPCs always have NPC templates as bonuses. Black Phantom is not even a player! His combat power doesn't even have much of a tingle!
”This mechanic class is so weak in its early stages. Maybe it will be as strong as Black Phantom's eventually, but you will be starting way behind others from the beginning. It takes even longer to reach the same level as the rest! What's more, the mechanic class relies on machinery, and the materials used to make the machinery costs a lot of money. This class is perfect for the local tyrants. If you don't have money, don't even try!
”This mechanic class has no future. It seems like I cannot use this account anymore. I can only restart another account and retrain. What a trash class!”
Luzman's response was full of resentment. He had even uploaded videos of him losing in battles. Many people echoed his sentiments in the comments, pushing his post to the top of the responses.
After glancing through other posts, Han Xiao realized that most of the posts had traces of Luzman. That guy copied and pasted the comments so many times. Many others found his resentment to be over the top, and they argued with Luzman on the forum.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. This was not totally unexpected. The players would realize sooner or later that the mechanic class was not suitable for combat in the early stages. Luzman was the first one, and he would not be the last. These grievous people only fell for the trap because they were attracted by his video and had simply chosen whichever class seemed strongest. The moment they realized that it was not what they had imagined, they would feel deceived and angry.
There were also players who liked the mechanic class and ignored these useless arguments and complaints. Some players were in the game for entertainment while others wanted to be the strongest in the game. Luzman was clearly among the latter.
These negative comments would definitely affect his business, and since there was only one chance to choose a main class, players would become more cautious, especially first-time players.
Han Xiao shook his head. He had wanted to attract more players into the mechanic class to expand his market.
Seems like I have to reaffirm the value of the mechanic class for the players. I can't just rely on displaying my strength…
The program continued running. Off the script, the male MC said, ”We have just received the unreleased promo clip of the next version of the game from Galaxy. Do take a look. ”
The screen began to play another video. Just as Galaxy had announced, this promo video focused on the battle scenes of each class.
The heavy armored knight appeared full of energy. The tip of his gun emitted smoke, and it hit a group of iron-shielded guards. The crash was loud like a thunder, and bodies were flying all over.
A tribe with horns controlled the elements around them. Flames slithered and wrapped around their bodies like snakes.
A magician stood in his cloak, and a web of light appeared beneath his feet as he chanted. Light rays of magic shone out from his fingers.
The bald-headed sorcerer used his mind to manipulate objects around him. He released an invisible strike against his opponents around him, causing them to fall one by one with their noses bleeding.
The clips were all very realistic. It was gorgeous!
This was only a demo of the promotional clip. Nothing was finalized. The clips were recorded by new players from every planet, and there were only a few clips from senior players for the time being. They had barely gotten together the battle scenes of the five main classes. The battle scene for the mechanic class was a clip of Black Phantom in action. Han Xiao was the first high-level character to demonstrate his combat power.
There were a several clips showing the jaw dropping scene at Big Horn Village, as well as scenes of the interception battle at Tedramira River. Sniper, rifles, turrets, squadrons, and even the vicious Frenzied Sword were featured in the clip.
