Chapter 68

So, this means that if you get killed by a monster, you lose your items just like in a PK?

875 : Anonymous Pioneer

No, the weapons, armor, and accessories you have equipped when you die drop at the spot.

You can only pick them up for about thirty minutes, but after that, anyone can take them.

876 : Anonymous Pioneer

This is going to cause a huge MPK (mass player killing) outbreak... Why would they implement such a terrible update?

877 : Anonymous Pioneer

The Shangfuro management has this really bad habit of silently implementing somewhat important updates.

878 : Anonymous Pioneer

The silent implementation of bounty hunters was interesting, though. Arrogant PKs were torn apart in seconds.

879 : Anonymous Pioneer

But this time, it's too much. Changes to the death system should have been announced at least a month in advance.

Here comes the excuse patch notes!!!

Here come the excuse patch notes.

883 : Anonymous Pioneer

What are "excuse patch notes"?

884 : Anonymous Pioneer

No matter what excuses they give this time, I can't accept it.

885 : Anonymous Pioneer

When the Shangfuro management gets criticized by users for a silent update, they release patch notes later explaining why they did it.

It looks like they're making excuses after the fact, so they're called "excuse patch notes."

Can someone summarize?

887 : Anonymous Pioneer

- First, sorry, it was supposed to be implemented at the start of the war, but the system AI made a mistake.

- This update is an emergency measure to prevent players from infinite suicide attacks during the war.

- In the game world, it's an intervention by Behemoth, who deemed intra-race wars involving pioneers as problematic.

- We might have gone a bit too far, so we'll ease it a bit, but it will remain this way at least during the current world story.

The AI made a mistake, huh?

889 : Anonymous Pioneer

It's clearly a human error.

890 : Anonymous Pioneer

System AI: "Objection!"

891 : Anonymous Pioneer

Ah, it's a war measure... Hmm...

892 : Anonymous Pioneer

I'm starting to understand a bit.

893 : Anonymous Pioneer

Behemoth, Mom...

894 : Anonymous Pioneer

Well, since you can infinitely respawn as long as you have save points, and it was said that you'd have to destroy all the beds in houses, maybe it makes sense to raise the awareness of not wanting to die...

895 : Anonymous Pioneer

I wish they would stop starting every update with "This update has important implications for game management..."

"It has a deep reason behind it..."

896 : Anonymous Pioneer

That's why they're called "excuse patch notes."

897 : Anonymous Pioneer

My dissatisfaction hasn't disappeared, but the reason for the update isn't entirely unreasonable...

898 : Anonymous Pioneer

Don't be fooled, the management is silent about the silent update.

899 : Anonymous Pioneer

Seriously (laughs).

900 : Anonymous Pioneer

They never learn!

901 : Anonymous Pioneer

In the end, this means we can't venture out more than a 30-minute walk, right?

902 : Anonymous Pioneer

"Exploration" isn't our mission; "pioneering" is, so build bases, as per the divine will.

903 : Anonymous Pioneer

Even with ownership rights, if someone runs off with your items before the free ownership period, there's nothing you can do, right?

904 : Anonymous Pioneer

They're saying there was a lack of adjustment in that area.

905 : Anonymous Pioneer

Don't take out important items from the warehouse in the first place?

906 : Anonymous Pioneer

But in a respawnable war game, if someone swings a special weapon on the front lines and loses it, wouldn't you think they're an idiot?

907 : Anonymous Pioneer

They're just a duck and tofu target.

908 : Anonymous Pioneer

Tofu is always left out in situations like this...

909 : Anonymous Pioneer

I won't forget you (dashi kelp).

910 : Anonymous Pioneer

Kelp-san... (tunk)

911 : Anonymous Pioneer

Next time, duck noodles.

912 : Anonymous Pioneer

The duck has been stolen...

913 : Anonymous Pioneer

Next time, revenge tofu.

914 : Anonymous Pioneer

During the war, does it mean that PK penalties are removed and it's the same as being killed by a monster?

915 : Anonymous Pioneer

Mass-produced, easy, power.

916 : Anonymous Pioneer

What about apology items?

917 : Anonymous Pioneer

Rejoice, drop rates will skyrocket for a certain period after logging in.

918 : Anonymous Pioneer

Really? I need to go hunt rare monsters now.

919 : Anonymous Pioneer

And then the anti-thread, which is hard to tell if it's active or not, starts moving...

921 : Anonymous Pioneer

Smart players don't log in until the bad update is fixed.

922 : Anonymous Pioneer

Will it go back to normal after the war?

923 : Anonymous Pioneer

If it doesn't, we'll all do anti-activities together.

Human error (a specific individual with master permissions made the update without permission).

People in a middle ground between anti-threads and fan threads are here.

Fan threads are shouting, "It's a special setting for the war!!" while anti-threads are being bombed by fan threads.
