Chapter 37 The so-called five-star SSR characters didn't even have a decent line of dialogue
The so-called five-star SSR characters didn't even have a decent line of dialogue, only three extremely boring voice lines like "Take this," "Die," and "Oh my" looping over and over.
Not to mention any mythological research or hidden tags; aside from the dry numbers for "Attack Power" and "Defense Power" on the attribute panel, these cards were just a pile of cold code.
The most despair-inducing part was the game's "anti-air mechanism."
When a group of flying monsters looking like bats appeared in the sky, PD habitually tried to look for a "Sniper" or an "Archer" for anti-air.
As a result, a golden top-up page popped up arrogantly in the center of the screen:
[Ding! Encountered troublesome flying monsters?]
[Limited Time Offer: Top up 648 yuan to purchase the 'Peerless Anti-Air Divine Artifact', and all your melee heavy-armor characters will gain 'Full-Screen Taunt + Anti-Air Attack' abilities! One-shot kills, say no to getting stuck!]
"I'll screw your ancestors..."
PD couldn't take it anymore. He ripped off his VR helmet and looked at the screen as if looking at a pile of indescribable excrement.
"This is what you call a strategy tower defense? This is still just using money to smash through with stats!"
"No wonder this game is called 'gods and demons defense line'. This defense line is built with money, isn't it!"
Not just PD, but countless players on Youxing Network who had tried it out of curiosity were all disgusted to the point of vomiting by this extremely idiotic greed.
This was the arrogance and stupidity of the big companies. They thought that by copying the "grids" and "high and low platforms" of tower defense, they could replicate FGO's success.
They didn't understand at all that what truly made players go crazy was that seamless "Divine Balance" that required mental sparring; it was that abyss of mechanics where critical stars and special attack multipliers intertwined.
And even more, it was that grand and profound "Type-Moon Soul" where every Servant had flesh and blood!
An extremely violent backlash of public opinion completely erupted on the Blue Star network!
After experiencing the gilded pile of garbage that was 'gods and demons defense line', countless players were not only not lured away by the so-called benefits, but instead flooded back to FGO's official forums like crazy.
"Father Gu! I was wrong! I'll never complain about you restricting my Cost again!"
"Only Chaldea is my home in this world! I'd rather be slaughtered by Jeanne d'Arc's wyverns in France and burn my brain solving puzzles in Historical Retrospection than play that kind of idiotic trash where you can pay to let heavy-armor units attack air!"
"Hurry up and start a new event! I want to throw all my money at FGO! We absolutely cannot let copycat dogs like Tianpeng Interactive Entertainment drive out the good with the bad!"
Facing this sudden, almost fanatical "vengeful support," Oriole, who had been observing from the sidelines, knew the timing was completely ripe.
"Using a soulless shell to imitate my game?"
"Since you've made such a disgusting 'counterfeit', I'll show you what the true value of a [Counterfeit] is!"
Oriole's fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard.
[Large-scale limited-time event script, new art assets, and special class code have been loaded.]
Ten minutes later.
While the officials of 'gods and demons defense line' were still hiring internet trolls to frantically damage control, the official Chaldea account posted a giant poster announcement with a blood-red flame border in an extremely high-profile manner.
[FGO's first large-scale limited-time event: 'Da Vinci and the Seven Counterfeit Heroic Spirits' is about to begin!]
"To all dear Masters: Do you still remember the witch who blocked your path with hellfire and dragon breath on the scorched earth of France?"
"The true Saint dissipated in glory, while the 'Counterfeit' condensed from infinite hatred and obsession is watching you.
[New Mechanics and Servant Unlocked]:]
New independent class opened: [Avenger]!
This class does not exist in the regular seven-class advantage system; they are vengeful ghosts abandoned by the world.
Event-limited summoning banner opened:]
[Dragon Witch · Descent of Blackening]!]
★5 SSR Avenger—Jeanne d'Arc [Alter] (Jeanne d'Arc) officially joins the Chaldea summoning system!
'Mongrels of France, are you ready to welcome the flames of revenge?'"
As soon as this announcement came out, the entire Blue Star gaming circle felt as if a ten-thousand-ton nuclear bomb had been dropped!
