May Plotting Post

Hello everyone, and thanks all for your patience as we enter into the last phases of the game! We have one last Test Drive Meme with this month, doubling with the RP log. (This is largely in case any past players would like to return for the end game!)

It’s likely become clear that Nirvana is only a temporary stronghold; a place Drifters can return to if needed. But there’s trouble brewing beyond the last city. Drifters are being requested to explore it, to see if they can solve the problem… And perhaps get a cure for what ails them, and a way home. Those in Nirvana are confident that at least a few of those answers are located beyond.

There’s two more regions to explore. (Or rather, two and the ability to warp to prior areas due to the quirks of our current zone!) The first is a region known as the Warp Lands.

The numerous moon shards that have dropped in this region have resulted in an unstable landscape. Things are strange out here, including the ability to travel back to prior areas!

The surroundings will also warp to reflect places from Drifter’s pasts: safe places during turmoil (and moon warp storms!) places where something vital was lost, or places of magic. During all of this, there’s something else trying to reach the Drifters, and seems to be directing the warps. Something that sounds and feels… Broken.

It quickly becomes clear that the moon itself is trying to make contact with the Drifters. Though there’s some extra problems with all of this. Mainly in the form of a miasma that can induce monster changes and a berserk state… And a pack of Gore Magala emitting it.

The end of this trip eventually becomes clear, as the Convoy approaches a broken crater. Which carries the remains of the half shattered moon, and will be where the last month of our end game takes place in June!

And that is our planned route for the month! We hope you enjoy this event, and feel free to plan in the comments below!

Re: EVENT FAQ

[coffinturk]

Am I understanding it right that the efforts of the Moon to communicate are coming in the form of the past reflections? Or will it come in a variety of forms not just related to these spots?

[monstertruckers]

A lot of them will be coming in the form of past reflections, centered around different locations!

[andnevermore]

Hello, potential returning former player here! 💜 I assume that returning characters can come back with all of the transformation traits they unlocked in-game, but can they also return with their vehicles as they were when they left?

[monstertruckers]

Yes to all of the above! They'll be in a new location with all their changes and cars, but all of it can carry over.

Re: EVENT FAQ

Is "Near but not inside Nirvana" also a viable place for a random portal to wind up?

Say, out in front of the gates, where the turrets opened fire on the convoy before they were shut down last month?

[monstertruckers]

There can be one portal that opens up there, both to facilitate fast travel and for any jeep related shenanigans.

[thegoodslayer]

You're the best

[hololynx]

how long do the violent storms last per day? is the "during afternoons" a hard rule, or using the micro encounters, too volatile to really gauge?

[monstertruckers]

The big surge happens during the afternoons, but there can be little pockets of left over storm energy that linger well after that.

raiju hell let's gooooooooooo (thank you!)

>Gore Magala



HE KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH MOTHS, OKAY

But yeah, I want this guy to finally actually have a successful fusion or two. I've fallen off the wagon a bit because my job is trying to completely obliterate my spirit, but if people are ok with slightly crusty tags from last month, I'll go pick those up. ...Orrr we can talk out what happens and just kinda wrap up and move on. Up to you.

[rockitforme]

Hey there!

About the job, I totally get ya! I just got back from my Japan trip and I've had a lot of tags I need to catch up on and clear right out of my inbox the moment I got home, so no worries!

I really loved the tags you've had for Vox with Rock, especially the April event omg. I honestly don't mind you continuing those since I legit got very hyped up when I saw Vox's reflection begin eying Rock's aha (though up to you if you have the spoons available, that is!)

I am breaking my rule of "keep cussing or swearing to an absolute minimum when the mod hat is on" this one single time because I think sharing this screenshot is funny. But this is the current working title of the event on my document:


It's going to be changed for the event post proper, due to that afore mentioned rule.

[trust_us_with_your]

I MEAN... that's the proper response when Gore shows up in the middle of a hunt or you go off specifically to hunt it! Because Gore Magala is just RAD.

Everything about its design, how it fights, its metamorphosis is just R A D. The next time I got this stupidly pumped about the introduction of a brand new monster wasn't until, what, Malzeno?

[propatriamori]

Edward is an enormous fusion slut and will fuse with Vox, but only if they get to keep the TV face and he can have an existential crisis about it later.

[trust_us_with_your]

HEHEHEH, yessss



Let's get SUPER spidery!

[propatriamori]

Read my mind!

I'm so mad that form didn't get more screen time, because it is so sick.

[trust_us_with_your]

It was SO FUCKING RAD! I am only slightly sad they didn't go shark, but I totally understand their decision to go virus/bacteriophage, for how his influence spreads and becomes infectious.

Meanwhile, an artist I love did an amazing sharkvox. I think about it a lot.
