Chapter 551 Episode 5 Apocalypse Prediction
It has been half a month since the fourth episode was broadcast. Currently, the update schedule of "Apocalypse Forecast" is about one issue every two weeks. Zhou Ning, like many other players, has always been a loyal viewer of this program. After seeing the update, he hurriedly clicked in.
"Welcome to Apocalypse, everyone! I'm your Dragon Fruit. This is Apocalypse Forecast, helping you navigate your Apocalypse gaming career."
On the screen, the same obscene fat male host, Pitaya, was still making his usual opening remarks, accompanied by layers of barrages:
"Here I come, here I come, I am your cantaloupe."
"Why are you fat again?"
"Accurate navigation (guidance to the ditch)."
Looking at the messy comments, Pitaya smiled awkwardly and began to introduce the guests of this episode.
As usual, the fifth edition of Apocalypse Forecast invited a bunch of professional gamers. But this time, Apocalypse Forecast went all out, inviting all the players in the Chinese individual competition to participate.
They are Jinse, A Wave of Heat, Shuidi Chenxing, Yanran Weilue, Chaowei Lanmao and Shui Gaohan. In addition, Alex also participated in this program as a guest. As a legendary player who won the title of "Miracle Brother" in "Destiny", Alex aroused cheers from the audience as soon as he appeared.
As usual, the show started with the awkward "Draw, Guess" competition. Initially, the audience had expected Alex, a French-Chinese resident who barely spoke fluent Chinese, to be at the bottom of the list, and that no matter how poorly the others performed, they wouldn't be ranked last. However, facts proved that being uneducated is indeed a terrible thing. After placing last in the second "Apocalypse" prediction, Jinse participated in the prediction for the second time, and once again, she guessed nothing correctly, leaving the comments filled with complaints. Then, the main topic of the day began.
The fifth episode of "Apocalypse Forecast" has a total of nearly 2 hours of content. In accordance with the principle of hitting hot spots directly, the beginning of this episode of Apocalypse Forecast also focuses on the Apocalypse League competition itself.
"After nearly two weeks of competition, the qualifying situation for both Group A and Group B has gradually become clear. Almost all seeded players and seeded clubs have successfully passed the test, and the situation of CN versus the world has basically been established again."
"Except Tang poetry and Song lyrics." Dragon Fruit added in a sarcastic tone.
As one of the top three masters in the country, Yanran Wei Le was still very graceful. Although he felt like scratching the wall in his heart, his expression did not change at all.
Next is the win rate of all classes in all matches, including individual and team matches. The Gunner has a win rate of 72.3%, with six internal battles, which means that having a Gunner is very close to victory. The Warrior has a win rate of 56.7%, still maintaining the honor of the melee class. Compared to before, the Meteorologist has improved its win rate in high-level matches, currently at 52.6%. This class is very interesting. Its win rate in individual matches is only 39.6, but its win rate in team matches is as high as 62%, which is a very obvious contrast. The Priest has a win rate of 50.8%, the Paladin has a win rate of 50.2%, and the other classes have a win rate of less than 50%.
"The rogue is once again the worst of the two classes. As the weaker of the two agility classes, the hunter has a win rate of only 40%, but there is one hunter each in the Jaguar Club and the Swiss Saipan Club. During the main tournament, there were zero rogues. They say that with each new patch, there's a new god. I wonder if rogues' performance will improve in subsequent patches."
Heatwave, who played with a sleazy style but looked rather sunny, chimed in, "Probably not anytime soon. This class relies too much on stealth and its own skill cooldowns. Currently, it can't kill anyone with one set of attacks, and it's fragile. Once its stealth is broken and its skills are on cooldown, it's easy to get kited to death."
The chubby host, Pitaya, nodded and said, "Indeed, this is also the pain in the hearts of all thieves right now. In stark contrast to this class is the Roaming Gunner. Alex, what do your foreign forums think of the Roaming Gunner? What do you think of the Roaming Gunner?"
Alex smiled and said, "The general consensus on our forums is that the Gunner is simply too powerful, causing many low-level players to want to delete their accounts and switch classes, especially Hunters. I once saw a statistic where a Hunter and a Gunner teamed up for a dungeon, and the DPS ratio afterward was 0.6:1. And I heard Gunners can now recruit pets."
"Personally, I'm not really afraid of the Wandering Gunner. A truly skilled Warrior still has an advantage over the Wandering Gunner. The previous 17:0 is proof of that."
The fat host loved to hear this kind of talk. With a lewd smile, he first looked at Jinse and asked, "Ms. Jinse, what do you think of what Alex said?"
Jinse finally managed to break free from her previous social deadlock and laughed dryly, "No, no, I definitely can't win. Yashen can beat two of us alone. If we want to win the championship, we have to rely on Master Shuidi Chenxing."
If you don't drink poisonous milk, you'll die, right? The fat host had already heard the rumors about Jinse's addiction to poisonous milk. At this moment, his mouth twitched, and he nodded, turning to ask Shuidi Chenxing:
"Mr. Chen, what do you think? Also, which team do you think will win the championship?"
"I can't see anything, but I can make a prediction. The individual competition will definitely be won by the Wandering Gunners. As for the team competition... I guess it will be Xingyue. If Xingyue wins, I will personally roll a 30 red envelope on Weibo." Shuidi Chenxing said bluntly as usual.
Regarding the same question, every player present had a relatively unified opinion. First of all, they all agreed that the Roaming Gunner was the most unbalanced. Six people thought that the Roaming Gunner would win the championship, and only Alex thought it would be the Warrior.
As for the results of the team competition, there was no suspense. Everyone voted for their own team, and the final voting pattern was N 1:2.
At the same time, in the program, several professional players once again counted their opinions on several sewer professions.
This time their opinions were more unified. First, they suggested that hunter players could directly give up this profession. After the appearance of Poké Balls, there was no reason to counterattack from any angle.
Although thieves can temporarily give up PVP, their status in PVE has been improved. A few days ago, the "Deep Blue" club completed the first kill of the twin sisters, the first boss of the first large-scale group dungeon of Apocalypse. Their team had 6 thieves, who could provide stable healing reduction and armor penetration, and their output was not weak.
In the level rankings, players from other countries have gradually caught up. Among them, Jinse is far ahead of other players at level 53 with a level of 51. Alex is in second place with a level of 51.7, and Zi Arthur ranks third.
In the NPC popularity, a dark horse appeared in this issue. The first place was won without any suspense by Wayne Stewell for the fifth time in a row. He occupied the core C position for fourteen consecutive episodes and turned the tide in several major events. His position was unshakable, which also made Zhou Ning himself happy.
The screen also showed what Wayne Stewell had said before: I hope that even if the world will fall into complete darkness in the next moment, the starry sky will still be guarding the light.
Second place went to Emlyn, the Spear of Retribution. Originally, besides Zhou Ning, he had the most player interaction, hence the second-place ranking. However, he's been relatively low-key lately, replaced by the newly-appeared NPC, Hawkeye. He had successfully gained a following during the previous underground ruins expedition, making him a popular character.
The third one has not changed. It is still Leonardo, the original son of the plane of Darklan. Although he is still far from being a demigod, he shines in the battle between the Kingdom of Braxton and the Cult of the Curse, and has become the new favorite of Darklan players.
As usual, the next is the ranking of the unlucky players who are popular to see. As mentioned before, this column is edited and composed by a computer. Since everyone has a sense of ugliness, this column has always been the ace column of the apocalypse forecast.
But what surprised Zhou Ning was that, along with a burst of funny music, a foreign player named Claire jumped out. He was enchanting equipment with La Yuri, the enchantment master of the Byron Republic.
In the game "Apocalypse", armor enchantment can and can only be performed by enchantment masters in various countries. The upper limit is 9 enchantments. After reaching level 6, there is a chance that the 7th enchantment will fail. After failure, it will be reduced by 1 level. After success, it will be the 8th time. After the 9th failure, it will be returned to 0. However, the probability of successful enhancement is very high, close to 60%.
As a result, Claire, to the humorous music, kept repeating the sequence of "7, 8, 0, boom, cha-cha," a perfect loop. After countless consecutive failures, his money was completely wiped out, and he finally let out a terrible howl of helplessness and rage. The computer showed him a GIF of someone smashing his computer with a stick.
The screen went dark, and then the unlucky player number 0, who was also the unluckiest player of the period, popped up: XB.
