Chapter 357 - A Lone Log Can’t Prop Up a Tottering Building (1/2)
The event with the Guardian and spies had come to an end. On the surface, Ye Xiu didn’t seem to care too much about the remaining two players in the guild, but in his heart, he still paid a lot of attention to them. A single outstanding spy was enough to destroy a guild. Before a guild was backed by a Club, they would be extremely weak. Sometimes, what would seem like a very trivial matter could cause a guild to collapse, let alone, when someone had infiltrated specifically in order to destroy them.
Even though Ye Xiu didn’t say anything to the two characters that hadn’t left, he took note of their names.
This was because he still lacked a way to completely reveal all the spies in his midst. Ye Xiu also had no idea whether or not there were any spies amongst the low leveled players. Though when he had made the guild, Ye Xiu had made preparations for this, especially since his goal was to eventually form separate teams within the guild. This sort of struggle would never end. If they needed to, they might need to use these types of methods too. There wasn’t any right or wrong, just or unjust in this. This was basic strategy in a fight between guilds.
For now, Ye Xiu decided not to think about these matters and looked over the guild chat. The majority of players had gone offline to rest after seeing that the Guardian challenge had been successful. The ones who were still online were pretty much the all-nighters. There was no way they could be like the top guilds and have their accounts played on by multiple players as a type of work. These all nighters, who were willing to spend this amount of time in their lives, could very likely be their guild’s main force.
The guild chat’s discussion topic was naturally about the Guardian’s blessing that they had obtained after the completion of the Guardian challenge. Players of all kinds of cla.s.ses were talking over how they should allocate these extra points. Quite a few were browsing through various guides on the web, while debating with others.
This sort of low level talk was beneath Ye Xiu, although for these noobs, Ye Xiu still felt like he should help guide them so they wouldn’t go off on the wrong path. After seeing just a few minutes of their discussion, Ye Xiu already saw several flaws in quite a few of the players’ arguments. He had no idea where these noobs found such trash guides, yet they were treating them like treasures and spreading them around.
“Hey hey, the one called Prideless!” Ye Xiu couldn’t bear it any longer and finally called out a name.
“Here!” Prideless was one of the very active players in the discussion. When he saw that he had been noticed by the guild leader and had even been called out by name, he felt extremely happy and immediately replied.
“Where’d you find that guide? It’s wrong!” Ye Xiu was quite direct, simply because the nonsense Prideless was spouting was too far off. It didn’t even seem like it was right.
“Ah?” Prideless was startled.
“Most Ghostblade skills are magic based, so adding Intelligent isn’t wrong, but whether you’re a Phantom Demon or a Sword Demon, putting points into Intelligence can’t be the only choice. Sword Demons have a few Physical Damage attacks. In addition, a lot of the time, you’ll be using normal attacks to connect combos, so adding a few points into Strength is a must. Now as for Phantom Demons, they have several skills with crowd control effects. Spirit increases the effectiveness of these crowd control skills, so Phantom Demons also need to add a few points into Spirit. The guide that you posted doesn’t even consider the basic characteristics of your cla.s.s. If it’s a magic based cla.s.s, then put everything into Intelligence? It’s not quite that simple!”
“Ah……” Prideless stuttered, but wasn’t able to say anything to defend himself. He was having trouble understanding what Ye Xiu was saying.
“And that Battle Mage guide……” Ye Xiu switched the topic and pointed at a different guy who was also spouting nonsense. Ye Xiu knew even more about Battle Mages. With just a few words, he had made the guy go speechless.
“There’s more! There’s no point in saving up your extra points from the Guardian’s blessing. If you add it wrongly or want to change it, you can just leave the guild and then join again.” Ye Xiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw that these guys were telling everyone to not randomly allocate their points. When the player left the guild, these extra points from the blessing would be automatically taken away, so they could basically reset it whenever they wanted to.
“And the team that’s going to dungeon. What type of party composition is that?! You’ll definitely die from exhaustion. Get two magic cla.s.ses in there!” The more Ye Xiu looked, the more problems he discovered. Some of these players saw that their dungeon count had reset, so they immediately went and formed a party with their new guildmates, but didn’t pay attention to the party composition and just added whoever wanted to join.
There were many cla.s.ses in Glory. Different matchings had different strategies for them. For different dungeons, there would always be the most efficient, safest, etc. party compositions.
For new players, being able to easily beat a dungeon was quite impressive. In Glory, every time you entered a dungeon, the dungeon count would decrease whether you succeeded or failed.
Ye Xiu had only been playing with experienced experts. Even without them, by having him in the party, they would never fail a dungeon. But for new players, dying in the dungeons was a very common occurrence. This was also one of the main reasons why the players from top guilds were so far ahead of normal players in levels.
