"Ahem." The voice of the Man in Red broke through the island's relative stillness. "Good day, down there! The time is now, oh...about noon. Everyone having fun, I trust? Excellent, excellent. Before we proceed, let us take a moment to ponder over...all zero of you who have died so far. Tsk, tsk, off to a slow start, even with all that fighting already...for shame!"
A brief pause, before he continued. "Ah, yes...remember those dead zones out there now? Well, there's going to be more of them soon. Keep your eyes peeled for the following, next phase:
J 14
E 1
K 6
K 7
A 8
"And also...we've detected something you all might find unpleasant down there. A few...unexpected and uninvited guests, come to rain on our parade." The displeasure in the showman's normally jovial tone was almost painfully evident. "Make sure you watch out for them. We can't track them as of yet on our end, and they're quite dangerous. I certainly wouldn't advise you to take them on alone, but then again, I'm not your daddy! I can't tell you what to do! In the meantime, though, rest assured we're working on finding some way to track these party crashers, and we'll have news for you...soon."
"Ah, and as a final treat...we'll be dropping a little treat for you next phase. It will be dropping at...oh, F 11, up in the mountains. Be sure and ping your collars if you'd like to participate and squabble for it!"
Behind the Mask
Everything above should, hopefully, be self-explanatory, but to offer a little extra insight:
Roaming Bosses: At the moment, there are 3 randomly roaming bosses. They will exist at random on the map, much like the NPCs. You can opt-in to challenge them if you run across them, but otherwise ending up on the same space will only trigger a brief 'encounter' to reveal their identities and you will escape (relatively) safely. Be warned that they are quite strong, and not likely to be taken down easily without some significant firepower or extra help. As a little extra bonus, at least, fighting one as a single participant will grant the max level of Cornered Tiger for any player, and they never receive benefits of Cornered Tiger even if outnumbered. They will receive tracking so they can be challenged properly in coming phases.
Easter Egg: It will be dropping at space F 11 at the beginning of Phase 3. If you are nearby, you can physically move there to take part. But if you aren't and still wish to, you can ping your collar to be teleported there to compete, then back to your previous location afterward. Send me a message with your move(s) to confirm whether you're taking part.
Lastly, as always, this phase will last until approximately 12 PM/Noon Eastern time tomorrow, February 15th.
