Days passed by, and Lucas's development of "Warcraft" was also constantly progressing.
Art materials were constantly produced.
Similarly, related data and the overall game structure were also being improved little by little.
And for the players of "Monster Hunter: World," the New World was no longer unfamiliar.
Of course, they were also very familiar with the Palico's stretcher cart.
Before this, Lucas showed the Light Bowgun's slicing ammo build and the Gunlance's shield build through live streaming.
A shield and a cannon made hunting solo no longer difficult.
When facing Pink Rathian, two words: Easy.
When facing Dodogama, two words: Relaxed.
Even when facing Nergigante, it was only two words: Okay.
The feeling of clearing the game was completely without any pressure!
After all, this cheesy build was prepared for ordinary players, wasn't it?
But when these players faced tempered monsters, the feeling was completely different.
Raising a shield and firing?
Who do you think you are?
Think it's still turn-based like before?
Faced with the efficient AI, these players were instantly taught a lesson.
The forums were filled with wails again.
"The 'hunt' in 'Monster Hunter: World' has become a verb again!"
"Damn it, the tempered monsters' damage is so high, and the AI is so good, what are we supposed to do!"
Of course, the players who said this were basically those who had cheesed the game too much before.
They weren't familiar with the monsters' attacks at all.
For ordinary players, having the Iron Skin Mantle and flinch-free jewels completely improved their efficiency when hunting in groups by more than just a little bit.
Especially some skilled players, who even turned monsters like Nergigante into units of measuring combat power.
They weren't competing on who could pass, but on who could kill Nergigante the fastest.
The originally majestic Nergigante became like a pop-up.
Some players felt that Nergigante was too pitiful, so they specially created some fan art of a cute, gender-bent Nergigante.
This instantly made this monster one of the most popular monsters in "Monster Hunter: World."
Of course, for ordinary players, it was still quite difficult.
"Ben! You're jumping back and forth! You went back to Longsword from Gunlance again? Weren't you saying you didn't know what a Longsword was?"
Zack, who had failed the quest with three deaths, said to Ben in the team.
"Ahem, the Longsword is a lifelong belief. I just gave it up temporarily before. Now I've regained my faith, just like the main character in an anime. I had a bit of confusion in the middle, but in the end, I found my belief," Ben started bragging.
"Hey, is the game about to update?" While Ben was bragging, he suddenly noticed that the game suddenly prompted that the version was too low, which meant a new version was being updated.
"Me too. Oh... Ben, look, there's a new event! New transmog weapons: Frostmourne (Greatsword), Warglaives of Azzinoth (Dual Blades), Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros (Longsword), Light's Hammer (Hammer), and Hunter's Bow (Bow)..." Zack, who had just quit the game, also saw the updated content on the Nebula Games platform.
"Damn, they're a little cool! And there are two new hunting quests, 'Evil Power: Frost Dragon' and 'Chimera from Ashenvale', but these two don't look like monsters from 'Monster Hunter: World'! And what's this Azeroth thing in the description?" Ben was a little confused looking at the related introduction.
"Don't worry about so much! Let's go into the game and take a look first!" Zack was full of doubts in his mind. He had a feeling that this update of "Monster Hunter: World" was a little unusual, but no matter what, he should go into the game and take a look first.
While chatting with Ben in the voice channel, Zack had already entered the game.
Soon, he found that the Commander had a big exclamation mark above his head.
"You've arrived. Something's wrong recently. A mysterious power like a silent frost has appeared in the Coral Highlands..."
"At the same time, countless skeleton-like monsters have appeared nearby..."
"Investigate alone? Okay, since you insist..."
Looking at the Commander's dialogue, Zack sighed.
Investigate alone?
It's not me, I didn't, you're just talking to yourself, okay?
But he was used to it.
When he first came to this New World, he thought the hunters in Astera were all his good teammates.
But the reality is cruel. He suspects the Handler is a Deviljho cub. Otherwise, how could she stay on Deviljho's back for so long? And all she does is eat all day.
The First Fleet Leader is very enthusiastic, but he's been sitting in the dining area on the third floor and hasn't left.
The Commander looks like a golden-haired lion, very fierce at first glance, but he didn't even show up when fighting Nergigante and later Xeno'jiiva.
The Swordsmaster is indeed very cool, but he only contributed once in the Zorah Magdaros capture operation.
As for the rest of the people?
They're just a bunch of good-for-nothings.
On the surface, they call themselves the White Wind of the New World, the Azure Star guiding the way forward, but in reality, they're just bullying him because he can't speak, giving him all the dirty and tiring work.
He sighed, accepted the task of investigating the abnormality in the Coral Highlands from the Commander, and set off again with his loyal Palico under the care of the 'Deviljho cub.'
"This is a brand new monster! It's a little ugly!" Entering the Coral Highlands, Zack quickly noticed some differences.
The ground was full of frost, and there was a slow health recovery debuff near it. Also, on the road in the Coral Highlands, some of the original Wingdrake monsters had been replaced by a group of rotting corpse dog-like monsters.
Ghouls, this was the name Zack got after killing these monsters.
Going deeper, finally arriving at the highest point of the Coral Highlands, Zack finally saw the target of this trip.
A huge bone dragon covered in blue light: Frost Dragon.
"Damn, it looks a little cool!"
Amid Zack's exclamation, the Frost Dragon noticed him, an uninvited guest, and actually flew up by flapping its wings that were only bones. Then, icy breath spewed from the dragon's mouth.
......…
Zack and other Monster Hunter players were surprised by the new game event, the Chimera, the Frost Dragon, and the transmog equipment.
On the other side, Minecraft players were equally surprised.
Because in the official demo server, many players found that a new building had been added.
During the time that Minecraft was online, more and more spectacular buildings were being recreated by players.
Magnificent buildings such as 'Irithyll' and 'Lothric Castle' hadn't been placed into the Minecraft Demo Server by Nebula Games, but players had already made them, which was quite shocking.
And what was mainly placed in the demo server was official works from Nebula Games.
It served more like a guide for players in the early stages, so later on there was only a special operations team working on it.
The efficiency was naturally not as good as the players, and so far there are only two newly added building complexes in the official Minecraft server.
One is Astera from Monster Hunter: World, and other is the toy castle from It Takes Two.
But now many players suddenly discovered that a new building complex had been added to Minecraft's official demo server.
A magnificent human city-state.
Named: Lordaeron.
Symmetrical buildings, densely packed but with distinct levels.
The central area is a huge arched castle, and behind the city gate is a long aqueduct, with the only path to the central castle hall being via drawbridge.
At the same time, in front of the castle is a huge bell tower, hanging the flags of Lordaeron, with characteristic symbols: twin-headed eagles, and lions.
At a glance, it made you feel incomparably magnificent.
