SEASONAL OPERATIONS

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205

Good evening, folks. Harry Wankman here for WHRT News reporting on the new SEASONAL OPERATIONS appearing throughout the game. Hi there ghouls and goblins. the spooky season is upon us and may end on the new month but until then, there are some spooktacular events to lurk for.

First up on the cutting block, heads will roll by joining a faction. Are you a Hero? A Villain? A Renegade? Choose a faction to join and terrorize your enemies. When you pick a faction, you can earn points and additional awards in the daily PVP. Choose wisely or the head that rolls may be your own. HeHeHe. There are some other scary things going on as well.

The Keeper of Events has added some seasonal operations that you can do during this haunting season.





Look for seasonal themed monsters in patrols and in the missions were 'You Found Trouble!' is located. There are a couple horrible monsters to defeat. You will be on a quest to hunt down them in the patrols. There are specters and skeletons. For every 5 specters and skeleton you kill, you will be rewarded with 300 'Ops Points' to spend in the Field Ops on your profile page as well as a great power card but that's not all. There's more.





If you lurk around on the mission's tab like New Amsterdam, there is another way to add to your Ops Points. as you defend the mission zones there will be some pop-up special operations that will require your input. Choose well and you will be rewarded with Ops Points and sometimes you can receive power cards or consumables. It's been really lucrative for me.

Here is a helpful hint. You will be given three options to choose from for your input. If any of these choices are dimmed out, your current battle suit is missing a certain attribute and may need to add it to your suit to be successful. Keep in mind, these special operations are battles. a choice that is successful once may not be the next. Chances are, if you stick with your successful choice, it will be successful again. Memorize this info and use it to your advantage.



These special operations have been quite fun and really rewarding. At the end of this event, you will also receive BADGE points to help you earn more perk advantages. There is also a 'Special Ops License' available for a small amount. It will pay for itself because it comes with good amount of morphon particles.



Don't miss out on the action. Join a faction. Hunt down Specters and skeletons in patrols and keep track of your kills on the quest tab. Defend your mission zones. You will be rewarded. see ya out there. I'll be lurking for you.

PoV: League War

ID 10898

At the time this article goes live, we will know for certain if the WMD franchise has succeeded in their gambit to land separate powerhouse sides in each of the top 4 divisions of the next League War tournament.



For some time now, most of the tournament’s upper division title races have been a formality, and even with the introduction of NPC leagues for variety, there havent been any surprise moves or change of positioning strategy among the leagues.

After the August tournament, some may have seen opportunity to maneuver into the D3 group where Poison claimed a title. Instead, the top tier league pounced, not content to sit on their laurels. They could have been clear favourites to coast to D1, 2 and 4.

For rest of the leagues, any plan to get in a position to win rare silverware was scuppered by the All-powerful.

All is not yet lost at this stage, of course. There’s a slim chance that some NPC leagues could help the beleagued others; however based on the current rules at play with regard to average levels, the only place for them, will be in D1, where even a “diminished“ senior unit is still by far superior. They may very well be a bit more vulnerable to Longwang and crew than their other units vs the likes of Colony, but one imagines it’s well worth the risk. After all, Longwang doesn’t use Triumph tokens.



The lesson for all would-be challenger leagues? Never get complacent, and always be willing to try something bold.

HALLOWEEN LEAGUE WAR IS HERE! Are you ready for Lich?

By Beta (ID: 37239)

Greetings heroes!

This is Beta from the fledgling league, Alpha Omega, bringing you an update on the upcoming Halloween-themed league war: Lich with Nine Lives!



"Lich" evokes the supernatural: the undead, revenants, ghosts. Which is why this league war takes place on a Lich battlefield, which greatly favours Supernatural gear powers. This is an important criteria and be sure to take note of how gear powers are modified in this battlefield:



Signups are about to end, so if you have not already done so, be sure to register your league in time. Remember, at least 3 members need to register, one of which must be the league leader. Here is the full timeline of the war.



Good luck to all, or should it be, good spirits to all!

ATLAS CRISIS LIVE UPDATE

Greetings heroes!

Today we bring you a live update of the Atlas crisis that is happening. Once again, we are being bombarded with solar flares, bringing harmful emissions of intense electromagnetic radiation from the sun.

As you may have noticed, supercharged auroras have been sighted as far down as tropical and even equatorial regions, a phenomenon never witnessed before!

We're calling all heroes to band together to shield our Earth from these deleterious flares by using your defense powers to protect us.

So far, just over 3 million solar flares have been shielded, but our task is only just beginning. We have about 21 hours and we expect as many as 12.2 million solar flares to hit us, so there is a lot more shielding required.

We're grateful to the following heroes for their efforts so far. Here are the top 8 heroes who are protecting us as of the time of this report:



Kudos to our heroes and keep up the good work! There is a lot more yet to be done.

Fan-fiction Contest: What If Nova fell, not Kruhl

Tri-blade ID: 10879

The air was stifling, choking. The sun rose, but there was very little light, and even less heat. The sky was a dusty orange-brown and the buildings and streets appeared to be made of rust. A low-pitched giggle emerged from the mouth of the dark blue-skinned humanoid figure as she took in her surroundings. While the Legion's goal hadn't yet been completed, she knew it was only a matter of time before her squad leader - and more importantly, her Emperor - savoured final victory. She was driven by the gleeful thought that various heroes of Earth were still managing to frustrate her forces.

Her giggles turned into a loud series of cackling, in the knowledge that her enemy had showed such mettle against the odds.

Impulse floated upwards, her ecstasy at its peak.

---

The likes of Skelanimal and Midgardsomr had morphed into a permanent enlargement as a means to deter further assault on their individual forms, and an uneasy truce existed between the behemoths and the Legion generals. No matter, grunted the generals, they would merely be the last to taste ultimate defeat after the others fell. Anybody without the ability to grow to mountainous size was a target, in the interim. As those numbers declined, the Legion grew ever more confident.

The escaped conman known to the outside as Gamer G looked on at the hellscape before him with longing and regret. It wasn't too long ago that Purgatory Pen was destroyed. This unforeseen instance gave him his freedom, but only from the authorities on Earth. Legion had inscribed a different sort of imprisonment.

He looked skyward. He knew that BADGE's ground headquarters was decimated and the orbital space station obliterated in a separate assault by Legion forces, its leaders crushed. All parts of the world were in a chaotic state, without any semblance of law and order. People, where they could, tried to make do with limited resources but those were diminishing rapidly. Some of his fellow inmates continued to remain mischievous, partly to be seen as a useful impediment by Legion, but oftentimes instead merely falling to their base instincts without care or thought of what tomorrow could bring.

Gamer G frowned.

He walked to his small dwelling that was no larger than a car garage, and turned on his computer. Legion through its agents had requested he work to disrupt the remaining communication elements available to the known hero groups and local authorities, and he made great effort to demonstrate his successes to his overseers. However, at sporadic intervals, encrypted messages were leaked. Ones advising of where the generals were slated to move to, which areas were relatively safe, and the volume of artillery and foot-soldiers available to each. In between, he sent his location, hoping against hope for an eventual rescue.

He sighed loudly as he clicked his mouse key a final time.

"Unwise," said a sinister voice behind him.

Eyes opened wide, Gamer G whirled around, only seeing the collection of toys and mascots behind him. Then he noticed something else, and his face dropped.

Frankie, an animatronic dog pieced from a variety of parts and with the ability to be mind-controlled by Gamer G himself, was not what it seemed. Gamer G whimpered as it transformed into the shapeshifter. Gamer G bit his tongue, knowing he had failed himself. After all, it was Bioform herself who had transformed into a Purgatory Pen guard and released him from behind bars. He should have known better.

With surprising speed, Gamer G rose from his chair and dashed outside. He was ten feet away from the front door when he felt a hard mass pierce his abdomen. He looked down and saw a metal pipe sticking out. He fell to the ground, turning to face his assailant.

He tried to speak, but Bioform shook a finger. "Why would you choose to die today, human? Legion would have let you live. Your ability would have seen you live to explore more worlds. But you chose instead to die. I do not understand -"

"Strike hard!" called a stern voice, silencing a stunned Bioform. Immediately a bolt of energy seared across her face, driving her to the ground. Another bolt, this one bluish in appearance, knocked her further away. A man with giant steel wings affixed to his back zoomed across, delivering a swinging cross to Bioform's face. Gamer G's last sight was that of a woman running in and affixing some sort of restraining device to Bioform's arms.

---

"What's the status?" asked DaMoN, the glow from his eyes receding.

Phantom shook his head as he released the arm of the now dead Gamer G.

"He's gone," said Crossroads, her sadness plain to see.

Tri-blade opened the door of Gamer G's dwelling and peered inside. He quickly turned back to the members of the Strike Force unit.

"Wings, Super Rakly, can you investigate the computers? There's probably more useful info on the hard drives but we'll need to move them to a secure location quickly," he said.

"Ten-four," said Hot Wings.

Midnight-Walker said, "This was rough. But it's new information, and potentially a turning point. There aren't many of us left, but there may be renewed hope."

Unseen by the group, an unusually large bunny blinked at the group from a distance, then hopped away at rapid speed.
