Quotes
"Krampus is no more. Intel suggest M.A.Y.H.E.M. leadership's been overthrown from within, part of a secret plan to take the World Map back as their own. Heavy movement confirms they're up to something, Commander - It's just not clear what."

- Pre-Event Description #1 "New leader Odin's vision promises a M.A.Y.H.E.M. devoid of the weaknesses of the past. He's flooded the World Map and built Outposts underground to distance annexes from enemies. It's kill or be killed - think you're up for the challenge?"

- Pre-Event Description #2

"M.A.Y.H.E.M.'s remote base placement is like nothing we've seen before. Prepare your Aircraft to take on Island Bases, and deploy your ground forces to destroy what lies beneath. Operation: Floodgate begins in less than 24 hours, Commander"

- Pre-Event Description #3

"Operation: Floodgate has begun! Destroy all MAYHEM bases in sight before it's too late. Beat enough waves and the Widowmaker Prime could be yours. Best of luck, Commander!"

"IF YOU WERE UNABLE TO START THE EVENT, WE RELEASED A FIX

PLEASE TRY CLEARING YOUR CACHE, RELOADING, LEAVING THE WORLD MAP, AND RETURNING TO IT."

- CM KHaus

"The "XP Earned" wave bonus popup will show the amount of XP you earned from the wave you just completed. In the lower right corner, you will see the XP you can expect from the upcoming wave. We realize this is not the most clear and could potentially confuse players. We will be implementing a fix, but you may see this during the event, until the fix is implemented. Thanks for your patience!"
