The Hanzo Ninja Clan Presents: Just Do It!

25104Some folks like to tell others it's money that wins the game, or high levels, or any number of things, depending on their perspective. The truth is, success in the game is the result of many things, not just 1. Not every option will be available to every player nor is each option as crucial as some may believe. The key isn't which options you use to power your toon as much as how much you exercise those options.As most of you know, I have spent a large portion of my time here teaching others...

Not for the first time, she marvelled at how well he was able to maintain a stoic aura about him no matter the circumstance.After giving a brief update on her mission, Chandra allowed Nova to respond."There...

The Hanzo Ninja Clan Presents: How To Low Tech Your Efforts For Bigger Raid Results

 25104Let's talk just a little bit about raids. My favorite raids are Yeti raids. I won't explain why here, just know they are for the purpose of this article. My friend and teammate, Avenger, summons lots of them and the two of us knock them out together. We figured out that 504k damage was usually enough to get all drops, though sometimes missing one. So the goal for each of us is to get 504k+ damage. Unfortunately, that equates to 1,008,000 damage we need to churn out on a raid that only...

Midgardsormr's Fight Club Memories PID#11112

 MONGO was late arriving at the fight club at Laguna Niguel. He reflected on a time many years ago, to the 1ST room in the 1ST Fight Club... "THESE THINGS HAVE COME A LONG WAY.", he thought. Outside the arena, he jumped off his enormous bull. He had had ENOUGH, so he morphed into his TRUE FORM... that of MIDGARDSORMR. He slowly turned, letting all of the assembled contestants see him.  Many of them were glad that they had already signed up and that their rooms were already full and...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Between Worlds Final Part

 Part 16Private Eye Peyton stepped out of his 32 Ford and gave the building before him a great snarl. He hated being here. It was enemy territory. But it was his duty to work with these people and make sure BADGE’s plans go off without a hitch.“I’d rather be having a chicken dinner at Mildreds... Oh, well.”The place before him was an old laundry business that still operated. However, Peyton and the entire police department knew this was just a front for one of Rutkowski’s operations.

Heroes Rising Fiction: Between Worlds Part 15

When he hit the ground, a massive vine shot up at the feet of an approaching ogre. The ogre shot straight up into the air and then came down with a hard slam into the icy ground. Vines trapped it and kept it at bay.“DON’T KILL!” Torrik yelled over the commotion.Heroes of all stripes battled against the surging armies from The Great Divide.Three skeletal warriors rushed...

FAN-FICTION CONTEST July: Trials of a Visionary

The construct wasn't as large as the 'real deal' creature fought in Scandinavia a few weeks back, and it definitely didn't smell the same, but it looked menacing enough, thought Elijah. He slid quickly to the left, avoiding a heavy paw slamming to the ground, before thrusting a bolt of energy at the beast's head. His allies in the simulation - fellow leaguemates, but also a few people unfamiliar to him - had spread out and strafed the Fenrir construct from the ground, and in the case of a few,...
