This is not a BUG, ​​this is a game feature

Chapter 87 Game Guide
"This is a game that focuses on development elements and emphasizes teamwork, but it is obvious that players have not realized this..."

After the early access version was released, Chen Ba was also paying attention to players’ feedback.

However, everyone’s experience can only be described in words.

Many people played "God's Grace Continent" with the concept of a traditional RPG "lonely warrior". As a result, they were beaten to death by monsters, claiming that the difficulty setting of the game was too high.

The forum was filled with howls.

Many players are complaining, saying that they were either deceived by NPCs and lost all their equipment and money, or they were killed by monsters and couldn't even defeat a wild boar...

Only a few players realized that this was a game that focused on team development and began to recruit and train NPC teammates.

These players are the smart ones.

They know that the early level of the brave is very low, and he has few equipment and attributes, so it is very difficult to defeat monsters.

At this time, recruiting any NPC teammate can be of great use.After all, even among NPCs with the worst initial attributes, they can defeat basic monsters, and at least they won't be killed by wild boars.

Before the brave reaches level 10, he needs the help of NPCs to support him. After he reaches level 10, he saves some money and buys a set of equipment, and then he barely has the ability to "single-brush" monsters in the wild.

To put it bluntly, this is also a tutorial for beginners.

The reason why it is designed like this is mainly to let players understand that great things cannot be achieved by fighting alone, and the brave must eventually form a team.

But it's a pity that most players misunderstood Brother Ba's intentions, thinking that labor and management are the best in the world, and then they were sent to the resurrection point by the wild boar to reflect...

The brave team is equipped with a maximum of 5 people.

In the early stage, you don’t need to have a full team, just add an NPC with a “follower” level of favorability to the team, and the brave man can normally farm monsters to level 10, and get a set of sophisticated equipment.

After level 10, the freedom of the game will be improved and most functions will be unlocked.

At this stage, players can basically brush monsters and collect materials and resources alone.It was also from this time on that players were truly exposed to the core gameplay of "God's Grace Continent".

What is the core gameplay?
Recruit teammates and develop teammates!Various brave teams are formed according to each player's unique preferences...

"The forum already has a guide!"

As the boss of the studio, Xiao Lu has a wide range of sources of information. Not long after the strategy post appeared on the forum, he came to report to Brother Ba.

"So fast? Let me see!"

Chen Ba was surprised. He didn’t expect that less than 24 hours after the early access version was launched, someone on the forum would summarize the strategy post.

Respectful and fake?

In just this little time, someone has really figured out how to play "God's Grace Continent". Is he really a gaming genius?
Under the guidance of Xiao Lu, Chen Ba quickly discovered a popular post posted by the Tianba community 2 hours ago and received a whopping 181 replies.

The title is attractive.

["God's Grace Continent" NPC training teaching!The latest graphic guide for team matching and career selection! 】

The poster’s nickname is [Lord Cowherd]. This name is somewhat impressive to Chen Ba. It seems that he is often seen actively posting in the community.

All I can say is that it looks familiar.

Isn't it a senior member of the Cowherding Cult?
Too lazy to think about whether this poster had anything to do with the Cowherd Cult, Chen Ba looked directly at the text of the post.

"As we all know, "God's Grace Continent" is a game that emphasizes team development. Players need to recruit NPC teammates and train them..."

"Then the question is, how to combine and match to bring out the strength of the team? How do different combinations need to be cultivated?" "Let's talk about the early stage first. In the royal capital, randomly recruit two civilian NPCs whose initial favorability reaches the follower level to join the team and raise it to 10 Don’t worry about the level. [Picture]"

"After reaching level 10, you can go to the nearby skeleton camp to obtain career advancement materials, as well as mineral pelts, magic crystals and other resources."

"With resources and materials, we need to recruit suitable teammates and develop combat capabilities."

"I highly recommend that you brush up on the favorability of the chief of the palace guard while fighting monsters. Although the growth potential of the chief of the palace guard is average, the transition in the early stage is very useful..."

Graphic guide, in addition to text introduction, there are also corresponding game screenshots.

Chen Ba took a look.

This cattle-herding venerable is really good at playing. He formed a team of one tank, three magic and one milk with the chief of the palace guard in front, and the brave and other NPCs who turned to spell output.

This kind of team is very useful.

Moreover, in the early stage, the Royal Palace Guard Chief does not need to invest too many resources to form combat effectiveness, saving a lot of time and energy.

The only disadvantage is that, according to the original words of Lord Niu Herding, the favorability of the chief guard of the palace is not easy to increase.And there is a high probability that this NPC cannot be used all the time, and it will have to be replaced with an NPC with higher potential later.

So think differently.

Give up the captain of the palace guard, choose to let the brave be a tank in the front row, raise an off-tank to support, and raise two mages or archers.

Forming a team this way will cost a little more resources, but the advantage is that you can always use this team, even until you finish the game.

There is no optimal solution!
Lord Herder said in the post that there is a gap in the growth potential of unique NPCs, but it is not that exaggerated.

Theoretically, even if you randomly recruit two old men and women from the roadside to join the team, pour resources into them, and change their professions to build equipment, it is not impossible to use them.

So he only recommended a few solutions that were more practical or that saved resources and time, but did not say that this was the best choice.

It’s purely a matter of personal preference!

The gender, age, identity or even occupation of the NPC is not important. What is important is not to die. Once you die, there will be nothing.

at the same time.

Lord Niuherd also warned players who want to open a harem in the strategy post to pay attention to the real-time changes in NPC's favorability.

"...the game "God's Grace Continent" gave me too many surprises. I once suspected that these NPCs were actually controlled by Brother Ba behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could they be so smart?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about speculation first!"

"I personally suspect that there should be a so-called favorability judgment between NPCs. In other words, they also have their own love and hatred."

"Everyone must be careful when opening a harem. Don't let the backyard catch fire! It's not the worst thing if your wife runs away. The worst thing is that she runs away and she's still wearing the equipment you gave her..."

There are pictures and the truth!
In the picture, Lord Niu Fang bought a set of fine blue-light equipment for one of his NPC wives.

It turned out that the second lady had a grudge against the eldest lady. As soon as the second lady got married, the eldest lady ran away wearing that sophisticated outfit.Before leaving, I didn't forget to give [Venus the Cowherd] a breakup fee of 50 gold coins.

Chen Ba: "..."

good good!
Now I have to add more content to this post and pin it to the top of the page so that other players can laugh at this big wretch.

Strategy post?
This is clearly a lesson of blood and tears!Needless to say what a complete set of sophisticated equipment means at this stage, right?
