Chapter 1258 - Chapter 1258 Chapter 1258 Siege Battle for the Barricades
Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: Siege Battle for the Barricades Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: Siege Battle for the Barricades Ancient Gods was a diversified game that basically took care of all types of players.
For instance, leveling up and acquiring many items could be achieved through various means.
And the Warfront Struggle was one of those supplements, a game mode based on guilds declaring war against each other.
In reality, it was a few factions fighting for territory, but since they couldn’t really engage in a full-scale war, the competition was carried out between players.
Many special fortresses that belonged to different races were established on the map, and these fortresses served as resource output stations for their factions or races.
The Player Guilds were the managers of these fortresses, and every week all fortresses would be reassigned to new guilds.
There were many benefits to acquiring a fortress, and the rewards varied depending on the region.
But the main points were that by gaining control over a fortress, within that period, the guild members would receive experience boosts and increased drop rates when leveling in that area, and there were even hidden treasure chests and quests that only the occupying guild members could access.
The bonuses were significant, with a general fifty percent boost to experience, and the increased drop rates adjusted according to the drop rates of various equipment and items. As for the hidden treasure chests, they were a special perk.
Not to mention the quests, especially the high-quality ones, which were much better than ordinary tasks.
These benefits were available to all members of the guild, in addition to some unique perks. For example, if the map was a forested terrain, there would be bonuses for lumbering and hunting, and even some forest troops could be gained.
Take this place, for example; it’s a barren mountain with plentiful minerals, and in addition to the guild having the right to mine for a week, life players also receive a boost in mining.
In short, this was a supplement to the Infinite Space personal instance. After all, not every player has the patience to grind skills, and some people are naturally not good at playing, and there’s nothing that can be done about it.
In Ancient Gods, there were not many players without a guild, but they were extremely rare since even casual gamers had casual guilds. After all, many guild buildings offered attribute bonuses. Although they were small, they added up to be considerable. Coupled with the skill perks that came with increasing the guild level, basically everyone had a guild. Not to mention, as the map expanded so much, just the reduction in Hearthstone cooldown and the addition of an extra guild Hearthstone were very important.
“Last time, because we didn’t understand much, we basically chose what was close by. Our guild chose the Machira Basin jungle because the opponents were not very strong, so we occupied it for a week. The gains were good; a large number of herbs and furs, and the guild also tamed many mutated lizards. These lizards can change color and have strong endurance. Although their attack power is average, they possess excellent speed in swamps and desert terrains. We only caught less than five thousand in a week due to the limits, but there were also quite a few lizard eggs, almost ten thousand. According to the Beast Tamers, they can be trained into decent mounts. Additionally, there was an instance involving a forest public enemy, mainly about killing a Fire Element at a volcanic crater, from which we obtained quite a few Elemental Essences and fire-resistant gear,” Sister Li explained in detail.
Li Yao nodded, “It seems that this kind of fortress is indeed good.”
“There are downsides too,” Tongtong interjected. “The same map doesn’t only have fortresses for one faction; last time, the Light Faction’s fortress was also on the same map as ours. The Warfront Struggle isn’t just a conflict within the same faction; it’s more about the clash between different factions. Apart from the fortresses, there are also many outposts controlling the map, and the amount of bonuses two guilds enjoy is determined by how many outposts they have. Last week, we had many fights with that Light Faction guild, but because most of us were not often involved in the guild, we mostly maintained a stable position, getting a slight upper hand without being too aggressive.”
Tianxiang nodded and added, “The Guild Leader has been busy with other stuff and hasn’t watched many live streams, you don’t know. Some maps are used for three or even four factions’ fortresses; four guilds fighting together, just like playing the Three Kingdoms, it was so lively. There have even been guild-wide battles where guilds with grudges against each other ended up fighting, with large-scale wars involving legions happening frequently.”
“Then, are we prepared to go for a fortress on that map next week?” Li Yao asked.
Feng Yi raised her head from various pieces of intelligence and said, “Based on my compiled information and our discussion, we have chosen the Red Fortress. This fortress is on the West Continent and appeared after the integration of planes. We think it’s very suitable for the development of our guild.”
