HWS Story Introduction

[RexXxuS]

HWS offers players a unique story-based backdrop for the Empyrion Multiplayer universe which vastly enriches gameplay and gives players a fresh new perspective and a deeper, more rewarding experience.

Every feature on HWS gives players an exclusive and direct connection to the story which unfolds as you develop your character.

No matter if you store assets and supplies in your OCD, recycle your structures via EGS, or manage your wealth of credits via the Elemental Bank, you must accept that:

you are a clone with artificial memories

You are determined to find out who created you and the details of your origin. What is your purpose?

As you progress towards the truth, you will discover hints, solve puzzles and complete missions with possibly the help of your friends as you uncover all the answers which await.

Origins

Engineer Origin

Story and Gameplay The Engineer Origin is the foundation for colonization and building in the universe. The EGS Corporation modified the DNA pool for the Engineer Clones to master this task better than any other Clone Origin. Here are some of the guiding principles, requirements, features and benefits if you choose Engineer as your Origin: The Engineer Origin gun is the HWS Engineer Origin Gun (to get your HWS DNA) [HWSEngineerOriginGun] EGS Recycle works globally [image] Engineer Suppl…

Fighter Origin

This topic will contain a table of contents Story and Gameplay The Fighter Origin is a self-seeking group, but they are proud, skilled, and cunning. Though some may consider them to be the ‘bad’ guys in the HWS Universe, they are undeniably brilliant opportunists. They excel at liberating players from their possessions and joyfully force this fate on any and every Origin, including their own. They thrive in almost any situation, overcoming adversity by their wits and often find that their only…

Explorer Origin

This topic will contain a table of contents Story and Gameplay Explorers would object to being labeled as ‘good guy’ or ‘outlaw’. They would likely object to practically any label. While Explorers may not be as clearly defined as the other two Origins - they are free to carve their own path and define themselves as they see fit, not caring what others may call or think of them. The Explorer Origin has grown considerably as the many seasons have passed and today, it holds equal status with the…

Dealer Origin

Story and Gameplay The Dealer Origin was born out of all other Origins. After few Clone Cycles the EGS saw the Trade Volume of certain Clones and decided to investigate into an own Origin with specific Dealer DNA. At the cost of combat abilities those Dealer should give the EGS Corporation some side income… “should”. Here are some of the guiding principles, requirements, features and benefits if you choose Dealer as your Origin: The Dealer Origin weapon is the HWS Dealer Origin Gun [HWSDeal…

To join one of the four Origins, you have to choose the appropriate Starter planet. Only then are you matched to that Origin officially.
Each Origin has a unique starter planet and you can’t change your Origin unless you reset your character with the command: cb:reset (available every 12 hours) or visit later the Quadrolith on the ECC planet.

Therefore, be sure you read each Origin’s description carefully and know which journey appeals to you and fits your preferences and personality.

Origins are basically the parent groups of all factions. For example: The Explorer Origin can have multiple factions within it. Your faction can have different Origins in it as well.

By default each faction in your origin is NOT allied with each other. Alliances are proposed and accepted by players. Being in alliance with other factions means that your auto-turrets will not target each others structures in PvP. However, friendly fire is active and you can inflict damage on each other with manual fire!

GUIDELINES: To help maintain continuity of the HWS Storyline, we request that you do your best to build and support the roles of the various Origins. For example, if you want to hunt and kill, join the Figther origin. Operating within your faction’s role is very important to upholding and fulfilling the HWS Storyline!

Clone Levels (HWS+)

While you play on HWS, season for season, you will return every time as Clone - until you found the truth.
But along the way you will also progress in your Clone level. More and more memories will come back in your mind, helping you greatly for future tasks.

However you have to find notes not only in the Universe but sometimes outside of the Universe. In HWS Connect or the HWS Forum for example.
