Chapter 437: Plastic Surgery Has Risks, Face Customization Needs Caution
While Murphy was waiting for the new feature implentation to fulfill his duties as a “dog planner”, players were already arguing like crazy in the comnts section under the official post. Setting aside their strange reasons for arguing, the main information revealed in this post itself was quite explosive:
【《Reality Realm》Alpha3.1 Closed Beta Version Update Announcent:
Hi hi hi, my dear babies, although we said in the last Alpha3.0 version announcent that it would be the last major update during the closed testing phase, plans can’t keep up with changes.
The player personalization feature, which we predicted might only be activated during internal testing, was miraculously completed ahead of schedule by our programrs.
Such a good feature, now that it’s appeared, must undergo thorough testing by our vast number of testers to determine its usability and stability.
Therefore, today’s update announcent mainly focuses on describing and explaining this feature.
We have optimized the connection between the ga server and forum server, adding third-party face data import functionality to the forum personal information managent interface for all testers.
Babies can find this feature in their information interface after the update is complete. Please note that while the forum currently supports image importing, there are certain requirents for pixels and precision.
After importing is complete, babies can choose this appearance data as their new face when entering the ga. Isn’t it great and convenient?
Hurry up and praise our programr brothers’ powerful abilities.
Ps:
Currently this feature is in beta and only supports real-world face recognition. Please do not use face data that doesn’t conform to real-world standards such as ani/abstract art/post-modern art/furry etc.
Also, when selecting face templates, please do not use heavily smoothed and beautified images or those with “spatial distortion” characteristics to avoid data errors. The developnt team wants to give advance warning here that Alpha company reserves the right of final interpretation for any uncontrollable subsequent results caused by the appearance change feature in the ga.
So testers have surely already discovered that after completing the Black Iron Trial, the potential release progress bar related to the Silver Trial has been abnormally slow.
There have been many complaints and feedback about this feature on the forum. Here’s a consolidated explanation: the potential release bar is indeed sowhat related to racial talents. In the earlier version, the racial talents of testers were not clearly defined, causing the potential release bar to not function normally, but after this update, this BUG will be fixed.
However, it should also be pointed out that currently only a minority of players have correct understanding of the ‘Silver Trial’ concept. The testing group here suggests players seriously inquire about the content and advanConcrete thods of this trial from Silver rank experts in Transia to avoid entering incorrect leveling thods.
It needs to be emphasized that after the new version is implented, when testers with “Human” race log into the ga, they will be able to choose their new race and talents.
But this operation is one-ti and irreversible!
Therefore, players should carefully consider before making decisions, as different racial bloodlines and talents will directly determine which trial path you need to choose when undertaking the Silver Trial.
This choice directly relates to the player’s power system in the ga, so it absolutely cannot be treated casually.
Ps:
Emphasizing once again again again!
The developnt team will not reset any player’s character data for any reason or by any ans, and this ga does not have a delete and restart setting. In the world where Transia is located, any items related to resetting talents and powers are extrely rare and precious, so once serious problems occur in the choice of power path, all bitter fruits must be borne by the players themselves.
As the number of babies grows larger and larger, as you beco more and more active in advancing various testing processes, the testing group is also becoming short-handed, so under the application of your wise and mighty Brother Alpha and beautiful and wise Sister Cui, the personnel group has dispatched three new colleagues to join the forum managent work.
After this update is complete, three assistants ‘Feifei’, ‘Aya’ and ‘Little Ma’ will officially take office.
Among them, Feifei is responsible for managing the forum’s spam area and knowledge area daily Q&A, Aya will be responsible for current affairs and history area managent, and Little Ma will participate in the punishnt and managent of all uncivilized forum behavior as a disciplinary committee mber.
The three assistants were not previously responsible for custor service work and may lack work experience, so we hope babies won’t bully them and can help them get started to quickly shoulder their work responsibilities.
The content of this announcent wasn’t long, but it contained a lot of information.
Especially since the announcent was followed by an attachnt that described in detail, in tabular data format, the four racial bloodlines implented in this update and their talent characteristics summary.
This triggered quite a lot of complaints from “ta players”.
Onboard Joy Stick:【Silan people, Caith people and Nord people are fine, but how did they even make Mountain Folk, this human sub-race?
Damn!
I thought the Mountain Folk bloodline that ca with the war blessing we Wing Cavalry received was unique, but before we brothers could enjoy it for a few days, this thing is already being popularized.】
ow King:【What are you barking about! Aren’t you a vampire? No matter what talent they give you, it will all be assimilated into the Blood Vulture Clan’s vampire talents in the end, at most adding a few extra states.
This wave, ah!
This wave is obviously the developnt team hearing the outcry of us human players, finally solving from the root the problem of vampire racial talents being too powerful, causing human races to have no appeal.
Hehe, this must be thanks to my persistent, accumulated crazy feedback in the feedback area day after day to get this wonderful result!
We followers of Lord Avalon will definitely choose Caith people, this nature-oriented racial talent perfectly matches with the Avalon Church’s power system!
This is the best racial balance and enhanConcrete.
Don’t always nerf this and nerf that, enhancing everyone to make everyone happy is the king’s way.】
Bulldozer Man Charging:【I just looked, the Silan people’s talents are very suitable for administrative professions, the charisma boost and diplomatic bonus can create many new ways to play administrative professions.】
Feel You Poor:【Who cares about racial strength! Face customization is the king’s way, okay? I’ve already found a high-definition picture of Godfrey Gao ready to import, hehe.】
Leading Pigeon:【I ca first! Little Rich Brother don’t fight with over this, Good Pigeon I am the true Godfrey Gao.】
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Cheche:【Damn! Why can’t we use ani avatars? I was planning to make myself Superman, if not that then Batman would be fine too.
This is too restrictive, isn’t it?】
Terra Nova:【Uh, think about it carefully, isn’t it a bit too jarring to have an ani character’s cartoon face in the real world? Just that nose and chin that could stab people is scary enough, right?
Even if you’re a vampire with different aesthetic standards from humans, you can’t allow your appearance to be quirky to this extent, right? What if you scare little children?】
MoeHaha:【??? Why are you foreigners still here? Shouldn’t you have been kicked out?】
Terra Nova:【Shh shh shh! Don’t say it don’t say it, I’ve already admitted my mistake, and besides those things really had nothing to do with , I was just misled by bad guys, those uncles have all proven I’m harmless, so don’t keep harping on these little things.
But you’re really amazing.
I changed so many communication paraters, yet you can still catch my background.】
MoeHaha:【Hmph! Your level is nowhere near enough, I’m warning you, you better behave! I’m watching you.】
Ah Yuen:【What riddles are you two speaking in? It’s like you’ve t privately before, do you have old grudges? Tell us about it.
Also, @Terra Nova, you’re a foreigner?】
Terra Nova:【Yes, Egyptian, but due to work reasons, I’m now living long-term in East Asia, the insect samples here are just too abundant, I estimate I probably won’t be able to go back for the rest of my life, and besides I’m stuck here because of the pandemic.
Fortunately I’ve already passed the ga test application, precious helts will be sent down soon, otherwise I’d really die of boredom.】
Lumina Yanghen:【!!! Playing with insects? And a scientist? Egyptian… are you Nafletia? The Nafletia from my group?】
Terra Nova:【Damn! Little Lumina, don’t say my real na! Even though we’re all familiar in the sa group, you can’t expose my personal information like this.】
Sword Saint Ashina:【It’s really you? Hey, bug player, how did you get in here? Wait, I feel like I’ve seen this ID before, how long have you been lurking here? Who let you co?
Have you switched careers to being a spy? Really think you’re Nova?】
Terra Nova:【Who else could it be? The ‘big bully’ from the group! She used past favors to threaten , wuu wuu wuu, I’ve been bullied so badly by her. To think that I, an impressive entomologist, would be ordered around by her like a servant, and almost got into trouble, those uncles breaking down the door really scared to death.
That Sister Concrete told to tell you all, don’t worry about her for now.
She just can’t contact you for so special reasons, it might be better after a while.】
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua:【This whole thing seems strange, it definitely isn’t as simple as what Concrete said, let’s make a group chat privately, don’t talk about these things here. By the way, @Terra Nova, have you seen ‘Ruyi’ recently?
She seems to have disappeared for several months? Gone missing like Concrete?】
Terra Nova:【I don’t know! Isn’t Ruyi closest with you? I’ve barely talked with her a few tis, that sister is too aloof, even Sister Concrete is afraid of her.】
Fatal Orchid Huahua:【Ahem, let’s not discuss these things here anymore, let’s slowly chat back in the group. @MoeHaha, haven’t seen you online recently, everything okay?】
MoeHaha:【Nothing’s wrong, thanks for the concern, just dealing with so work matters, don’t worry, I’ll be able to get online normally after this update.
I’ll tell you all about what you’re concerned about, just hope you can prepare yourselves in advance.】
Life Is Pretty Good:【Ha, I always said the girls in our ga are all extraordinary, look at what they’re saying, I recognize every word, but when combined together it becos obscure and hard to understand.
Just like encrypted communication.
Ah, won, forever so mysterious and full of distance.
Forget it, let’s continue discussing racial talents and face customization features, brothers, I suddenly realized sothing, if you all choose handso guy faces like Nicholas Tse, Godfrey Gao and Andy Lau, if you really get into the ga, won’t it be awkward having everyone with the sa face?
For example, when student party mbers go out on tasks, a whole line of a dozen Godfrey Gaos standing together.
Tsk tsk, that scene is so beautiful I dare not imagine it.】
Spicy Gugu Chicken:【Don’t worry, I just tried, the sa face template can only be used by one person, I just uploaded photos of Godfrey Gao, Nicholas Tse and Andy Lau, but it showed the appearance data already exists!
Damn!
Who was so quick? Are you not giving people a chance to live?】
Bricklayer:【Hey, it was ! Please call Transia’s First Godfrey Gao!】
Half Off With Full Coverage:【Wait wait! Don’t be impulsive! Haven’t you noticed the trap the developnt team dug here? Read the announcent carefully! Hey, if you’re not using your eyes you can donate them to people who need them!
Have you forgotten the 100% reality characteristic of this ga?
Let ask you, if you suddenly change your face, are you willing to give up all the reputation and goodwill you’ve worked so hard to build up?】
Onboard Joy Stick:【!!!】
ow King:【??? Damn! Brother Stick! If it wasn’t for you suddenly bringing this up, who would have thought of this? After we change our faces, player interactions won’t be a problem, but NPCs won’t recognize this ‘plastic surgery’ effect.
They won’t identify us by ID, they’ll only identify by face, if the face is modified too much, we’ll be considered strangers by them.
Damn!
This trap is so devious!
No wonder the developnt team specially ntioned in the announcent that they have interpretation rights for all consequences produced by this feature.】
Precipitation Niuniu Is Not Afraid of Difficulties:【@Half Off With Full Coverage, thanks, brother, thanks for saving my dog life, I almost changed my face to Andy Lau.
What the hell kind of pit-digging feature is this!
Damn, almost fell for it, whoever wants this Andy Lau face can have it, this old Niu doesn’t want it anymore.】
Khaki Tony Tai:【Hehe, why is Niuniu so nervous? Are you thinking about your waifu wanting to divorce you, scared enough to wet your pants?】
Precipitation Niuniu Is Not Afraid of Difficulties:【Get lost! Watch out or I’ll Gank you offline, you live in the lower bunk right below , I advise you to be kinder.】
Shrimp Catcher:【Tch, got a wife and forgot your brothers, you dare make a move, we brothers will pluck your little niuniu off. But what Half-off brother said makes sense!
This feature is fine for new players to use, they’re unattached so it doesn’t matter, but old players can’t ss around with it so casually, because the consequences caused by face changes could be catastrophic.
After all, favorability is really mystical, didn’t Lumina almost get her favorability reset to zero when she had plastic surgery to look like Lord Murphy before?
I think old players must be cautious with this feature!
At most give your current face so skin smoothing, beautification, remove so freckles and such, can’t change big features, sothing will definitely go wrong.】
Don’t Need Hands to Show Off:【Wait! I suddenly realized another use for this feature.】
Moon Demon Lan:【Hehe, brother I bet what you’re thinking now is the sa as what I’m thinking, can we openly do bad things and then use plastic surgery to escape punishnt?】
Honorary Knight Typal:【Such thoughts are truly evil! My compatriots, please hold fast to your bottom line as humans, don’t do so horrifying things in Transia.
We can’t start this!
Once started, the consequences would be endless.】
Life Is Pretty Good:【Don’t worry, they’re just talking big, as the honorary chairman of the Transia Tricksters Association, I’ll keep an eye on them.
If you want to do bad things you can’t do them in your own base, wait until the world map opens up later, you can do whatever you want in enemy territory, but in Transia you have to control your hands and feet, the testing group’s eyes are always watching us.
Don’t reach out!
Reach out and you’ll definitely get caught.】
————————
Because of the full server maintenance, players were all crowded in the forum chatting enthusiastically, while offline in a certain villa, Master Yang wearing training clothes returned from the garden carrying a sword, and he imdiately saw his long-divorced wife sitting outside the “dical pod” specially made by the dical team for Ah Feng, fixing her hair.
Although trying hard to appear calm, the expectation and nervousness in her eyes couldn’t be hidden.
Next to her was placed a black ga helt, waiting for the server restart and the mont to enter the ga to reunite with her son.
“You stay here with Ah Feng these few days.”
Old Yang put down his practice sword, he turned back to say to his wife whose relationship hadn’t been very good these years:
“I need to make a trip back to the old ho in Jiangxi, see the elders and attend a family feast, seeing how the pandemic is getting worse and worse, both places might lock down soon, I need to hurry over there and back.”
“What matter is so important that you need to abandon your child to go there?”
Mrs. Yang asked dissatisfied, Old Yang shrugged and said:
“Ah Mu is bringing a girl ho, you held him when he was little, this is the first potential marriage among the next generation in the family. As an elder who just recently reconnected with the family, it would look really bad if I didn’t go back, and besides with the helt I can see Ah Feng anyti, so it’s not holding anything up.
Ah i, you should let go of your knot.
We haven’t talked about this issue all these years, but I know everything stems from what happened to Ah Feng, now you have a chance to tell your child what’s in your heart.
What I an is, don’t bla yourself anymore.”
“I would rather my child could wake up in reality.”
Mrs. Yang reached out to touch the cold ga helt beside her hand, she said softly:
“I’m willing to give everything in exchange for Ah Feng’s recovery and health, that was all my fault, sigh, forget it, things have co to this point, I’m already very satisfied being able to see my child again, can’t ask for more. But you said Ah Feng needs a book to move freely over there, and that book is in the hands of a group of Gnolls?
Very well!
Haven’t exercised my body for many years, might as well return to those wild days of the past, this ti, live once more for my son!”
