A New Way to Play: Free Choice of Spawn Point
Twenty-four hours passed quickly!
On this day, Kim Geun-seok gathered all the group's employees with experience in designing Land Warfare Instance and conducted a rigorous selection process.
The most skilled employees were selected.
The rest of the time was spent in the Kim family Group's Conference Room, providing tactical guidance to higher-level Instance Challengers were about to enter the Instance.
After calming down, Kim Geun-seok finally understood his father's purpose in doing so.
In Naval Warfare and Aerial Warfare, Lin Ye has already demonstrated sufficient strength. Now, the only way to possibly defeat Lin Ye is in Land Warfare!
He already had a plan in mind for how to launch Land Warfare attack on Bear Country.
The time had come, and a notification message appeared on the Firmament before Kim Geun-seok's eyes.
[Dear Dungeon Designer, you have been assigned to enter the Purgatory-level Instance "Earth Online: The Five Permanent Members -Winter Is Coming" by Instance Designer. You will be transported to the Instance world in two minutes!]
Please prepare the skills and weapons you will bring into the Instance!
[Now entering the countdown phase, 119...]
[118...]
[117...]
[116...]
It's here!
A new round of challenges!
This time, Kim Geun-seok was determined to plunge the Kim family's blade into Lin Ye's lifeline.
Welcome to the Purgatory-level Instance: Winter Is Coming!
[The Instance has finished loading...]
[Deploying Challengers to the Virtual Battlefield, 50,000/50,000 deployed...]
The world before Kim Geun-seok's eyes began to change, with countless mosaics piling up.
This means he has been teleported into the Instance.
But as soon as he entered the Instance, he sensed that something was wrong.
Because he wasn't teleported to the Black House in Stick Country like he was last time.
Instead, it floated eerily in the depths of space.
Beneath my feet lies that blue planet, Earth Online.
It felt like being removed from the Instance and watching Instance from an outsider's perspective.
"Strangeness..."
Kim Geun-seok looked around and found that the other Challengers were also suspended in the air, just like him.
Fifty thousand people floated in the air like bubbles, huddled together.
"Young Master Jin, what's going on?"
"Why don't we even have a birthplace? What's Lin Ye up to now?"
Everyone looked completely bewildered.
Immediately afterwards, a notification came from the Firmament.
[Firmament Notification: Challengers, to improve Challengers adaptability during the initial opening of the Winter Is Coming, the Challengers location was Stick Country.]
[However, this Instance actually has a Spawn Point selection mechanism; the Spawn Point selection process will begin shortly!]
As the voice from the Firmament announced the start of the Challengers' journey, the blue planet beneath their feet began to spin.
First, the game rotated to the location of the previous Spawn Point, Stick Country, which was highlighted in a different color.
[This is Spawn Point 1: Stick Country. Challengers can continue to choose this as their Spawn Point for this Instance.]
Immediately afterwards, the planet began to tilt slightly, pointing towards an island across the sea from Stick Country.
This island is actually quite familiar to Kim Geun-seok and many other Challengers; it's the Eastern Ocean Island that was used Spawn Point in the previous Raging Waves Instance.
[This is Spawn Point 2: Eastern Ocean Island. Challengers can choose this as their Spawn Point for the Instance.]
Earth Online continued to rotate, this time shifting slightly to the left, to a vast area of land in the northwest of Stick Country.
What makes this land special is that it borders the Bear Country directly.
While it's still insignificant compared to the vast territory of Bear Country, it's far larger than Eastern Ocean Island and Stick Country.
[This is Spawn Point 3: Malaysia. Challengers can choose this as their Instance Spawn Point.]
Finally, Earth Online continued to shift to the right, crossing a large area of land, and arrived at the westernmost edge of the entire continent, where a region was then highlighted.
[This is Spawn Point 4: Tank Country. Challengers can choose this as their Spawn Point the Instance.]
[Firmament Notification: Dungeon Designer Lin Ye has meticulously designed these four Spawn Points; Challengers are free to choose.]
[There are no restrictions on the choice of Spawn Point. All Challengers can gather at one Spawn Point or disperse to multiple Spawn Points. It's all up to the Challengers to choose!]
After hearing Firmament's introduction, Kim Geun-seok's expression turned serious.
It's a new mechanism again!
This mechanism of freely choosing Spawn Point and faction location has never appeared on Azure Star either!
This time, even Kim Geun-seok had to sincerely admire Lin Ye's design skills.
It's important to know that the Challengers's territory and base are the most difficult parts of the map to design.
Other positions can be filled by slacking off or just filling in, but the Challengers's Spawn Point must be extremely well-designed to pass the Firmament's review.
Lin Ye actually set up four Spawn Points in one Instance.
Even though the Eastern Ocean Islands used materials from previous Instance, there are still three countries that were newly designed.
Kim Geun-seok previously thought Lin Ye was a hastily created Instance, but now it seems that's not the case at all.
If Lin Ye was rushing things, how could he have wasted time creating four Spawn Points?
The viewers watching the live stream of the Instance clearly shared the same shock as Kim Geun-seok.
[Wow! Is this God Ye's power? He casually whips up something that Azure Star has never seen before!]
[God Ye has innovated again, always far ahead.]
[Spawn Point selection? I've never heard of this gameplay before. What's the point of spending time designing something like this?]
[Think about it, the above Spawn Point is clearly designed to work with another mechanic in Winter Is Coming: Military Battle Selection. Different Spawn Points are suitable for different combat types!]
[This time, Young Master Kim will have to choose carefully.]
Kim Geun-seok looked at the four positions repeatedly, clearly caught in a dilemma.
How should I choose my Spawn Point this time?
Since Azure Star has never had such a high degree of freedom in its Instance before, this new setup has left many unsure of which option to choose.
If we only consider location, neither Stick Country nor Eastern Ocean Island has a geographical advantage.
