Dungeon Core Online Chapter 112

Chapter 112

"For players, Dungeon Wars are simple . " Rue waived her hand, pulling up a visual image of all three of his floors . "Each floor is going to get a gate a.s.signed to it near its entrance . These gates unlock every two hours, and parties of up to 10 players are able to take the gate into the enemy dungeon's territory . Once there, they are able to fight both the enemy dungeon's players, as well as their mobs . Defeating mobs and players gives them core essence, which, if they return through the portal, they give to the dungeon core of their home instance .

"And what does-

"I will get to core essence in a moment . Don't interrupt . " The stern look on the pixie, who was clad in full battle armor, actually made her look quite terrifying . Enough so, that James shut up immediately .

"If the invaders are killed, then any essence they have gathered is instead absorbed by the dungeon they had invaded . " Oh, so that was potentially dangerous . "The incentive, for players to bring back large quant.i.ties of core essence, is that not only does it help in the dungeon wars, but they are rewarded with experience, and loot . " The pixie held up a finger, before he could even interrupt her . "Yes, you will have to create the loot, after we finish this conversation . "

Advertis.e.m.e.ntGreat, another thing to do before the war starts . He was of course excited, but also, growing nervous . Time was ticking down, there was less than 20 hours before his players entered his instance again, and BLANKs players would log into their home instances . 24 hours after that, war .

"The number of invasions, is limited, obviously, by multiple factors . " Rue held up a finger . "First, time . The gates open every 2 hours, meaning there can be 12 invasions from each side, per day, per gate . " She motioned to her next finger . "Second, the number of floors, would dictate the amount of gates opened at a time . Because both BLANK, and our dungeon, have three floors, that means there are 3 gates opened at a time . " A third finger was raised . "And finally, there is a cap on gates per day . Because each instance has 10,000 players, up to 10,000 players can take part in the war per day . Once all the players have partic.i.p.ated for the day, no more gates will open, until the next day . Additionally, players can only use the gates once per day . "

That final rule, actually surprised James . Apparently, the developers were trying to put some rules in place, to make the PvP at least somewhat balanced . He supposed it made sense, especially if defeat could really harm a town's economy .

"So, players can only choose to invade the enemy dungeon once per day . " James was already thinking . "But, obviously, the floor they choose to invade, is going to really effect how their dive goes . "

"Correct . When a player invades with a gate, they are transported to, and limited to, that floor . They don't get to dive into the first floor and fight their way to the third . So, while they could invade the first floor, and completely wipe it out, the amount of essence they bring back, would be lower . "

"So, a risk reward system . " James knew his players . There were some who would play it safe and invade the first floor only . There were some, such as Z, who would probably try for the second or third floor . He just hoped their risky behavior wouldn't backfire, and net BLANK more essence . Because that, could be really bad .

"Exactly . " Rue took a breath, before continuing . "The other aspect of the daily invasions, is that when players invade, it is a completely random instance that they are put in . However, the moment that instance is invaded, the dungeon core, as well as players, will be alerted . "

"Meaning-"

"Meaning, the players who are able, will likely try to hop in and stop the invaders . "

"Oh . " That could be bad . James knew power gamers . He could totally see PvP players sitting near the dungeon instance, patiently waiting to be notified of an enemy invasion . The moment it happened; they would rush to join the instance with the invading force and hunt the players down . Of course, that would be great if it was James's players doing it . However, from what he read online; he was going to bet that would be a tactic more likely employed by BLANK's players . They didn't seem to enjoy the PVE aspects of BLANKs dungeon, because BLANK was terrible at caring about the players . So, those power gamers, were likely chomping at the bit to take their aggression out on the first players to invade them . It was going to turn b.l.o.o.d.y fast .

"So, is that it for the dungeon wars on a players side? And what do we get to do? When do our avatars come into play? What about our-"

"- I'm not done yet . " Rue's response was curt, and James silenced himself . He knew she was doing her best to explain it all to him, but there was just so much he wanted to know . Albeit, this was still going to be faster than him reading the doc.u.ments . Of course, he still planned to do that, if he had the time .

"For a Full War, players will be invading and getting invaded for the first, second, and fourth days of the war . For the third and the fifth, they will be able to take part in a battle of a different kind . " The pixie's eyes lit up, and James could feel the excitement rising . This, he was sure, was where he and she would come into play .

"On the third and fifth days, a special gate is opened, which will teleport players to a unique instance all of its own . This instance is called the Fields of Battle," terribly unoriginal, "and it is here, where players will fight alongside their dungeon's avatars, against the other dungeon . These battles can last the full 24 hours, and are essentially a ma.s.sive, battle royal . The instance can hold all 20,000 players, the population of both instances combined . During this battle, players who die in battle, become core essence, and if they are not revived within a minute through magical means, they are removed from the battlefield for the remainder of that battle . " That sounded rather harsh . But James could guess it was a way to prevent the weak, or overpowered players, from becoming too big of a factor in dungeon essence generation .

"While the dungeon essence is created, players can choose to pick it up, and bring it to the avatar's shrine . " Oh, James was going to get a shrine . Neat . "After a certain point, the avatar comes to life . After that point, additional essence can awaken extra avatars, or unlock…special upgrades for the battle . Furthermore, once one side has collected enough essence, they can summon a portal to the enemy's core . " James was really liking where this was going . Of course, the need for his players to bring him to life was a bit upsetting . But he wasn't too worried . Also, had she mentioned additional avatars? What did that mean? James was eager to find out all of these things, and his antic.i.p.ation, and excitement, had reached their peak .

"Does that mean we can have multiple avatars?"

"Yes . " Rue was grinning . Honestly, it was the widest he had ever seen the pixie's grin become . She was obviously thinking what he was .

"So, an avatar for me, and an avatar for you?" The pixie nodded excitedly . Oh, this was good . This was too good . He closed the player instructions . He had enough information for now, there were things he needed to do, things he needed to prepare, before the war . Also, he was sure his own set of instructions, would further explain what his BP was for, how to generate more, and he could already guess, what the various other build options were for . It all made sense now . The build options unlocked for his probes to build via his Core Defense and Core Offense research, would be placed on the Fields of Battle .

There was something much more important than that now . At least, slightly important . Especially because he had already a.s.signed some additional objects to be built, while he had been out of immersion, after his Core Cannon and Core Deflector s.h.i.+eld research had been completed .

"Shall we go make an avatar for you now?" Seriously, if the pixie was going to be able to join him on the battlefield as an avatar, it made so much more possible . It also made BLANK even more dangerous . He was certain the two of them would perfectly match each other . He was pretty sure one would be some sort of dps, while the other would be a tank healer . In his mind, through his MMO experience, a Paladin with a Ranger cla.s.s would be perfect . Especially if the ranger was able to get a melee dps pet . As such, James was going to have to choose Rue's cla.s.s around-

The pixie's impossible grin grew even wider, as she waived her hand, a portal appearing before the duo . "I already did . "
