Remember the Chromatic Conquest? Its still up!
Some of you may remember i did a Blog post all the way back in 2017 named "The Chromatic Conquest" which you can check out here.
Im happy to announce that its still up and going strong, but its just a little different now.
To start, its no longer held on the FFU forums, but rather on a Discord server dedicated to it. Its run by the same person who started the Chromatic Conquest: Emperor Ectoshock. Its also now called Factions of Fusion Matter.
Its all the same from there however. You join a team and compete in challenges to win territories and other cool stuff. There are 6 teams in total: Adaptium, Blastons, Cosmix, Deltetradite, Explosine, and Fusionium.
To join, Direct Message Ecto directly via his Discord: Emperor Ectoshock#3511.
Everything you need to know about it is in the discord server, and you are guided by Ecto or any other of the admins and mods there to join a team. You start as white also known as Neutral before you join a team.
Unlike what i said in my old 2017 post, i actually ended up joining Adaptium, so thats cool :P
See you there!

Level-Up Guides: Level 2
Level 2 is a very simple level as well. Practically all of the future is very simple and short. This guide should help you in thinking of what way to approach the next level of your FusionFall journey.
Level 2 continues in Sector V but mostly takes place in Pokey Oaks North and South, where monsters are wrecking havoc and you need to help Numbuh 5 and Buttercup. Its in this level where you can also start receiving Shatterguns and better gear to make your stats stronger.
Basics
FM to the next level: 700
Areas: Sector V and Pokey Oaks North and South.
Characters: Numbuh 5, Buttercup.
Number of Missions: 9
Pretty fast and simple level where you start using your platforming skills and also learn about S.C.A.M.P.E.Rs.
Strategy
You got 2 options of dealing with this level: The obligatory grinding, and missions.
Grinding will always be faster in the Future, as the levels dont require much FM. You can still grind the Level 1 Fusion Spawns, but you can also go to Pokey Oaks North and grind the Level 2 Fusion Spawns there, as they can also drop better items with better stats. If you are going to grind the Lvl 2 spawns, then do the missions "Dawn of the Spawn", as that missions simply requires you to defeat the same spawns you are gonna grind.
For the mission path, simply do all of Buttercup´s and Numbuh 5s missions. Try to make it so you can complete 2 missions at the same time. This is called "Multi-tasking" and will come in handy later during the mid to late game.
The Nano for this level is Eddy
This nano mission will teach you about nano advantages and disavantages. If you are a veteran of FusionFall then you must have already used this way before this mission, but if you didnt know then you will learn it here.
Try to take down the Doom Drones on Fusion Eddy´s lair, since they drop quite a bit of Taros and FM, which can be helpful for Level 3.
As for Eddy´s power, choose Health-Self. The heal is very strong even at higher levels so you cannot go wrong with this power. Alternatively if you didnt choose Run for Numbuh 2, you can choose Run-Group for Eddy, but keep in mind Eddy´s drains faster than Numbuh 2s.

Review: Birthday Bash 2019
With 10 years of FusionFall, how did the CN characters decided to celebrate such a milestone?
The Birthday Bash event was awaited for quite a while. Many people wanted to see how it would turn out and what would be added. We got a great event with some not so great choices.
Lets begin with the story. Like every year, the CN characters remake the Gazebo on Pokey Oaks and turn it into a delicious cake. Unlike past years however, Fuse doesnt want any of this, and sends the "Party Poopers" to ruin the celebration.
I actually really liked that this year we got something more to do rather than vehicles and items. Now we got a boss, which unlike the past boss before it: The Ice Titans, is alot better when it comes to distributing items, but i feel like they were given out way too much (more on that later).
Alongside the Cake came some party planners dressed as Noods, a fun way to reference the year that CN came out: 2009, with CNs mascots being the Noods (and the disgusting CN real in a way).
On top of the cake theres a vehicle vendor. This event brought back all the old Birthday Bash vehicles. From the legendary Royal Swan to the XLR Car, theres something for everyone here. They were also at a much, and i mean MUCH more reasonable price, at 20,000 Taros per vehicle for a week. 5 times cheaper than the Knishmas vehicles, which were 100,000 Taros. They were class 1,100, aka some of the fastest vehicles at such a good price.
Lets talk items. Over 70 items were added with this update. An insane amount, all of them event exclusive. You get them by defeating the Party Pooper and its minions, the Birthday Bashers, and they drop special 10th anniversary Crates, and when opened drop these special items.
A ton of NPC like items were added, like the Ranger Commando set. Almost every item here is custom and brand new in FusionFall, which is always nice.
My biggest problems with this however, is that we never got any more bank space and how these items were distributed.
With so many items, people just ended up creating multiple bank characters to store the items. With how easy these were to get, it made all the items here almost worthless in the economy.
Even so i still feel like these items were given out better than the other events. In Halloween there were too many drops, and them being untradable made it even more of a hastle. With Knishmas we got very little drops, making it almost impossible to fill an entire inventory with just Knishmas crates. Here it takes almost no effort to fill an inventory with Anniversary crates.
Even so, theres a ton of cool new and awesome items here. My favorites include the new Focus Blindfold, the bubbleheads, the Ranger Commando set and all of the Fusion accesories.
Another new addition we got was a brand new Chat UI. I wanna make another review for it alone, but its pretty good and modern for a game this old. I like it alot.
Overall, the 10th Birthday Bash was alright. While it didnt have alot to do, it gave us cool items and awesome vehicles. Out of the 3 events we have gotten so far, i´d say this lands on 2nd place.
Even so, the massive amount of items given out making the items themselves worthless, the lack of new bank space and even exploiters who would glitch out the Party Poopers, its not a great event, but its not terrible either. Its ok.
8.5/10
Less items and more bank space or more awesome vehicles please.
THE FUSIONFALL BLOG IS BACK
Read the little news post here, and we will see you soon!

Rest In Peace, The Unknown.
On January 26th. 2019, the "Minor" update came out, and with it introduced a lot of cool content and bug fixes, but it also removed one of the most prominent and coolest areas in FusionFall: The Unknown.
The Unknown was the test and bug area for the game. Developers tested features there, and fusion lairs and a few Infected Zones were stored there. Nobody was allowed to go in there, or at least we thought.
After some time people started finding ways to enter the Unknown. Popular people who managed to get in there included Legomegazord and Zippy Zoomshoes, the latter of which later released a video on getting to the Unknown and exploring practically all of it.
Later on in Retro, the Unknown was accesible again. Devs didnt advice people to go in there, and if your character got stuck there they would not help you, but people did it either way.
Sadly, as said before, with the January 26th update the Unknown was locked, and people who try to go in there get inmediately teleported back. The area should still be there since fusion lairs and more are there, but if you try to access it thru other means you will get teleported.
In response to this, a pretty popular or at least well recognized player named Pistol_SpaceAir created a thread to try to get the Unknown to return. You can check the thread here.
He also created a Change.org post (yes really) to convince the devs to bring it back or at least achknowledge it. The petition requires 100 signatures, and while Change.org usually doesnt work, i do still recommend that if you want the Unknown back that you sign it.
https://www.change.org/p/the-fusionfall-community-project-u-nknown-let-s-make-the-unknown-known
In knowledge of the thread, Devan made this statement:
"Though it is possible for players to get outside the game map through normal means and using only the game mechanics to do so, we've had several cases of players abusing hacks to do so. Allowing the exploration of the out of bounds areas of the game incentivizes this behavior and is just unprofessional from a game design standpoint. We also then have to investigate every single case of players exploring outside the game map, and it can sometimes lead to unfair advantages for some players, like if Past players make their way to the Future area of the game.
More importantly, on several occasions, players have warped to others that were in the unknown and gotten stuck. Yes, I know its a button click away to get back to the main world, but there are a surprising amount of players that simply aren't aware and wind up with stuck characters.
I guess the point is that leaving the entire out of bounds area of the map is unprofessional and leads to a ton of inconveniences on pretty much everyone. This was the most elegant solution we could figure out to solving the issue. As an aside, characters that are in the unknown should be able to warp away or warp to a friend to make their way back to the main part of the game."

The devs are saying that it was used for cheating, hacking and exploiting, and also that it was unprofessional and gave unfair advantages. There were also alot of stuck players.
Devan continued replying thru the thread. Here are a few responses both from Devan and users. Make sure to enlarge the image if you cannot read the text.
So Plants: Should they bring back the Unknown?
Ill be honest. I dont like things that can be exploited, but this is quite a big part of FusionFall. Some people just played Retro for the Unknown (like Pistol_SpaceAir). Others got really popular off it, like Zippy Zoomshoes.
For bringing it back, i would probbaly say No since it can be exploited and it wasnt meant to be a part of the game. I do feel that the Devs should have asked the community if they wanted it removed or kept rather than just doing it on their own, but thats just me.
As of this moment however, the Unknown is dead. May it rest in peace.
