After all, Cady is a veteran of the YU Umbrella Association for ten years. It is easy to find someone to play a game with. He gathered ten people soon after coming out of Jeff's office, and he also found two more people just to be on the safe side.
.
It is no secret that the YU Umbrella Association has always been funded by Deep Space Corporation. However, Deep Space Corporation’s funding for the association usually does not directly provide money, but provides resources and channels.
YU's collector's edition signed books, event spots, movie collectibles... many things are difficult to buy outside, but the Association can get them directly from Deep Space Company, and they can also do so at a relatively cheap price
Get YU's book.
With these resources and channels, the association developed rapidly. In the early days, they could only rent a factory in the suburbs of New York to serve as their association headquarters, but now they have moved their headquarters to the city center.
In the new association headquarters, there is a large electronic reading room with more than fifty computers. During the main activities, they are used to assist in data processing. When data is not needed, there will be no people in the electronic reading room.
Cady led people to the electronic reading room. Several new members who came to visit the headquarters looked at the dozens of computers in the electronic reading room and asked curiously, "Does our headquarters also have a game room?"
"Haha, this is not a game room, this is an electronic reading room. Generally, whatever activities the Deep Space Company has to do, we will help with data processing, and they are all done here."
Several young people were a little confused after hearing this. They didn't quite understand what data processing was, but they didn't continue to ask questions. They all nodded in confusion.
Kadi knew they didn't understand, so he smiled and said, "You each find a computer, and I will take you to do a wave of data."
After hearing Kadi's words, others found a computer in the electronic reading room and sat down.
"Now turn on the computer, then open the Deep Space Tribe website, and log in to your account."
The others did as he said, and then Cady added, "Now you find the official account of Blizzard and click on their latest tribe. It should be related to the new game."
"Yes, it's the tribe counting down to the launch of Dota." someone replied.
"Well, enter this tribe and leave a comment to express your expectations."
By this time, members already know what data creation is, and it turns out that it is to help increase popularity on the Internet.
"Actually, our data creation is not an exaggeration. We are just doing it normally. The electronic reading room is basically provided to some members who do not have computers. Those of you who have computers at home can just do it at home."
One of the members said with a smile, "But it is quite interesting for everyone to sit together and comment. It is more interesting than commenting alone at home. It feels like a discussion, and everyone can update the strategy at any time."
Cady smiled, "It's more interesting than posting comments alone, but you guys have never done this before, so you find it more interesting. I think this electronic reading room should be developed into an e-sports room in the future. Anyway,
We at YU have so many games, do you think that’s right?”
"Yeah, yeah. If I don't play other games, I just play games that YU has a lot of participation in designing. I especially like playing "Minecraft"."
"What, my world was actually designed by YU?" Someone asked in surprise.
"Are you a fake fan? You don't even know this. YU's name is among the designers of the game. The Williams couple from Sierra Mountain also said in an interview that the original idea for this game was proposed by YU.
, this game wouldn’t exist without him.”
"Oh, I gained another new knowledge today."
Kadi listened to them discussing "Minecraft" and said with a smile, "When it comes to playing "Minecraft", none of you are as good as Hearns."
"Hanes, are we still president?"
"Yes, that's him. He recreated Tian Wen from "The Martian" in "Minecraft"."
"Wow, that's awesome. It's really awesome. I tried to make a house, but it was so ugly."
"I followed the tutorial to make a small house in "Escape". It took me more than a month, which was very time-consuming."
"If you like to play "Minecraft", you can pay attention. Our association may also hold some competitions in the future, allowing you to build props and buildings in the YU novel in the game. The prizes in the competition are not cheap."
"That's great, I will definitely participate."
"Haha, although I definitely can't win, I will definitely participate."
"I'm here to watch the battle."
"I can provide ideas."
…
Looking at the enthusiastic members, Kadi also felt very happy. Although he does not hold any substantial position in the association now, he still likes to hang out at the headquarters when he has nothing to do, because everyone here likes YU very much.
It’s easy to have common topics.
Although he was only in his twenties, he began to think about the past often.
For many members who have just started to like YU, the feeling of finding an organization also reminds them of the scene when he and Hanes met for the first time. They got to know each other because of YU's books, and then met more people who like YU.
With the YU Umbrella Association.
The feeling that everyone comes together because of the same hobby and can share the joy every day is really wonderful.
Everyone chatted for a while. Cady looked at the time, opened the Yawei Yawei website, and then found MTY Ma Tianyuan's personal account.
Sure enough, although DOTA has not yet been officially launched, MTY Ma Tianyuan has already released the guide.
It was a coincidence that Kadi came here. Ma Tianyuan's strategy video had just been released for less than a minute. It was still hot. Even the comment area was empty. However, when Kadi refreshed it again, there were more than twenty people in the comment area.
There are several comments, but none of them have anything to do with the game.
[The M competition is high, the game is not out yet, the guide is out first.]
【Outrageous!!】
[You also said you are not an insider?]
【I knew there must be a strategy.】
[Damn it, the recommendation index is five stars... Mr. M really likes this game, and "Warcraft 3" only gave it four and a half stars.]
【Seize the sofa.】
【First.】
【I am the first.】
…
After roughly glancing at the comment area, Kadi shouted to other members, "Now open the Yawei Yawei website, then find MTY Ma Tianyuan and watch his latest video."
"Director, Battle.net seems to have opened the purchase and download of DOTA." A member said.
"What?" Cady raised an eyebrow and quickly opened the battle network platform.
Sure enough, as the member said, the platform has opened the purchase and download of DOTA.
Cady clicked on the purchase without thinking, but to his surprise, the purchase price was displayed as "0".
This game doesn’t cost money?
Kadi has seen many free games. The reason why he was surprised is because there have been rumors that DOTA is a cross-generational game, so the purchase price is very expensive, so Kadi has been mentally prepared to participate in the game today.
Get a game for everyone.
Unexpectedly, the game was free, and he actually saved a lot of money.
"Everyone buys the game first, then downloads it and watches the video at the same time. After the game is installed, the video is basically finished."
At this time, other people also found out that there was no money to buy the game, and they were as surprised as Cady.
Everyone clicked to download, and then clicked on Ma Tianyuan's strategy video to watch.
This strategy video released by Ma Tianyuan is the most basic video, which explains the basic gameplay of DOTA and the process after opening an account.
Enter the game and create an account... In this step, you can directly log in to your Battle.net account, or log in with a Dongdong account. Nowadays, most players are accustomed to binding their Battle.net account to their Dongdong account, which is relatively more convenient.
After you have an account, start the selection... There are only two districts in DOTA now, one is the Holy Alliance and the other is the Glory Tribe. There is no essential difference between these two districts. Which district you choose depends entirely on personal preference. Of course, you can also choose between the two districts.
Characters can be created in each area, and the same account can create one character in each area.
Select the selection, enter your nickname and other personal information, and then you can start the game.
After a new account enters the game, it must go through a game animation. The content of this game animation is to roughly tell you how the game is played and what the map is like.
This game is a 5v5 battle game, and the goal is to capture the opponent's base.
After going through the animation, you must first play human-machine for a period of time or do system tasks to upgrade your character level to level three before you can randomly match against other players.
Seeing this, Cady also understood that if he didn't want to form a team by himself, one to five people could be matched, and he didn't need to summon these ten people. However, according to Ma Tianyuan's introduction, if he wanted to match, he still had to complete tasks.
Upgrade to level three, complete a system task, and then engage in two human-machine battles. It will take about more than an hour in total.
Cady can understand why the game is designed in this way. It is actually to allow players to know more about the game before random matching, instead of playing against others without knowing anything as soon as they enter the game.
There are pros and cons to this kind of setting. The good thing is that it tries to ensure the gaming experience of those who are matched with each other. The bad thing is that many people come to play the game excitedly, but are unable to play against each other for a while and will feel bored.
This is not a problem for Cady. He doesn't think there is any problem with doing system tasks or fighting against humans and machines. He likes to fight well-prepared battles. Even if there is no such provision, he will go and fight a few times himself.
Human-computer experience.
In addition to these basic rules, Ma Tianyuan also briefly introduced several heroes. There are a total of forty-seven heroes in DOTA, some of which are in "Warcraft 3", and some are new, and even "
Some heroes in Warcraft 3 may also have different attributes.
After introducing the heroes, Ma Tianyuan also expressed his opinions on the game. He believes that the map has three roads in total, and the game is a team battle of five people, so when choosing heroes, you must decide on the lineup and different types of heroes.
The heroes are placed in different paths.
Although the official did not give any suggestions, Ma Tianyuan believes that heroes with strong mobility must be selected in the middle lane, because the middle lane is relatively close to the other two lanes, and heroes with strong mobility can support them at any time.
You can also place two heroes in the middle, but there must be a priority, otherwise the economic separation will make both heroes weaker.
The top lane is the same as the bottom lane, but you must choose a hero with long-range attacks. This way, when fighting in a group later, you will have both distance and nearness, giving you an advantage.
Most of the long-range attack heroes in this game have high attack and low defense, so you may also need a hero with protective capabilities beside you.
There are many resources in the two wild areas between the three roads, and one or two heroes can be arranged to eat them.
How to arrange the specific lineup and how to choose equipment is up to the players themselves.
Although they haven't started playing the game yet, just by listening to Ma Tianyuan's introduction to the game, Cady has already felt the charm of this game. This is completely different from the games they played before. It has great influence on tactical designation, lineup arrangement and teamwork.
The requirements for cooperation must be very high.
Finally, Ma Tianyuan also mentioned that in addition to the random matching mode, this game also has a ranking system, but it cannot be activated until the player's level reaches level 30.
After ranking is turned on, players can earn points through ranking, just like other Battle.net games.
Oh, by the way, one more thing, if you are playing human-machine and customization, the forty-seven heroes in the game can be used at will, but if you want to match or rank, you have to buy heroes.
Players can use points or gold coins to purchase heroes. Points are exchanged for money, while gold coins can be accumulated by completing system tasks and playing games.
In order for players to have heroes to use at the beginning, new characters can obtain a certain amount of gold coins, and players can use these gold coins to purchase heroes.
If there is a match, in addition to the purchased heroes, you can also use weekly free heroes. The so-called weekly free heroes mean that every week there are a few specific heroes that can be played without spending money.
Seeing where he needed to spend money, Cady waved his hand and said, "After selecting the area, you just choose the hero. If you like it, just tell me and I will buy it for you. After we reach the third level, we will go
Random match."
The new members were a little embarrassed when they heard that Kadi was going to give the hero away, but the old members had accepted it calmly.
Old members all know that Cardi is rich.
At first, everyone only knew that Cady had opened a convenience store near the association headquarters, and they were thinking about how much money they could make by opening a small convenience store. Later, they learned that Cady’s family has more than 100 convenience stores in North America, and in addition to convenience
In addition to the store, Cady's family also has several large hotels, making it a truly wealthy place.
The Kadi family mainly developed in the past few years. When the umbrella association was first established, there were only a dozen convenience stores and no big hotels. In just ten years, their family has developed.
