Should be interesting. I'm hoping that they'll have mechanics for population in place to ensure an even fight.

[BlackHawk]

Enemy Vehicles and MAXes will not be available (though their standard arsenal will be).
PAH!

[Sabinius]

sigh... the devs beating on the poor TR

[Sentrosi]

Too little, too late IMO. Having an enemy's access to your weaponry is utter crap. This is why people horde Jacks and Lashers in their locker. After this weekend expect to see lockers jammed packed with the winning empire's stuff.

Does this include useage of the enemy's MAX units?

O yay a nother time for the NC to steam roll markov

[SilverLord]

Boring.

[JetRaiden]

sounds pretty fun. its gonna seriously gimp whoever comes in last, but itll be fun for everyone else.

[Untouchable]

Damn. Being able to roll out a Magrider at anytime I wanted woulda been pretty sweet :\ . Assuming we win that is. :p

[FatalLight]

>_< vs markov loses... we're gonna get owned by noobhammers and mcgs left and right...

[Majik]

If I wanted to use the enemies weapons, i'd have chosen their empire in the first place.

[Rbstr]

i'd pick up a Lancer instead of a phoenix most all the time

[Baneblade]

I want Phoenix instead of Striker, but other than that and the Enforcer, none of the enemy stuff appeals to me that much.

And unless something has changed I expect the Lasher to be annoying too.

[AbramsVS]

Ill play n00bhammer, just to show how overpowered it is.

Example: Took a n00bhammer from my locker and ran up the bio labs stairs, 3 NC guys with Gauss were going down, they spotted me i started to fire, after loosing approx 100 armor(im Rexo) and 50 health i got 3 backpacks laying near me. Its really annoying when yr on place of those 3 NC.

[Lartnev]

I guess it'll be an event of education if anything. :shrug:

[Baneblade]

When I was NC, the Gauss was my ES weapon of choice, the JH is fine I spose, but not versatile enough for me.

[NightWalker XI]

lol this is crap, I was excited about new events but this is exactly the same as the last with a diff reward...pffft

[Lartnev]

Better than nothing?

[Tobris]

I'd rather have more merits than another CE's dream Monolith event honestly.

[321]

Blank news page for me 0_o someone quote it all please.

[FatalLight]

The New Conglomerate is continuing their attempts at manipulating the Auraxian lattice network, this time targeting construction and acquisition pathways in an attempt to level the playing field of Auraxis, supplementing their arsenal with the situational strengths of their enemies. Now that the NC have initiated this process, the TR and the VS have no other choice but to see this through, fighting to be the Empire with a robust global arsenal, consisting of familiar and enemy weapons alike.

Starting On Saturday, November 27 at 4 PM Local Server Time, a monolith will emerge on a different continent every 30 minutes. When the Monolith spawns, that continent will go completely neutral. Players must deliver the Monolith Unit to that continent's capitol facility. In order to successfully deliver the MU, the capitol must be controlled by the same Empire as the player attempting to deliver it.

The Event will run over two days. At the end of those two days, the number of successful runs will be tallied. Whichever Empire has delivered the most Monolith Units will be considered the winner of the event.


The Winner will be able to purchase enemy weaponry from the equipment terminals. Enemy Vehicles and MAXes will not be available (though their standard arsenal will be).
The Second Place Empire will be able to access weaponry from the Third Place Empire, but not the winner.
The Third Place Empire will only be able to access their own Empire Specific weaponry.

These conditions will run for the three days following the event's end. Each server will reflect different conditions, based on the Winners on each.

Get out on the battlefield and run for the guns! Your Empire's arsenal could open up as never before!

There ya go

[Breed]

I hope they make it so after the winner has had their fun, everyone has access to all weapons for a week.
That would make it fun :)

[ChronoSphere]
