ABOUT MISSION STRUCTURE

The game will start with two types of event. User-Triggered and Game-Triggered. Today we talk about Game-Triggered events.

Game-Triggered missions are related to the storyline and lead to a HUB that contains a series of 3 to 7 quests, similar to the situation room. Since they are triggered by the game, they may start even if it's not the perfect moment in your real life.

Both types of mission are semi-scripted and can span from an hour to a week. Team size varies based on mission level: A level 1 event may require three players, while a level 10 event may require a raid of at least 500 players!

Single player mission: Long-term large-scale events generate single mission opportunities. This task has to be completed without the main player leaving. Higher-level players can give lower-level players missions while they focus on a core threat.

Offline mission: Players can participate or continue contributing in large-scale events when they are offline. They can assign themselves to a platoon and leave control to an active player, improving its overall power during the time they are logged off. Offline players are valuable resources that you can use, up to a point.

Flashback mission: You can read more about them here. It's basically a replay of the mission as it happens with the community that you can experience in real-time.
