Anthem Pre-Cataclysm Event Megathread: Discussion and Questions

Greetings, Freelancers! As some of you have become aware, a storm has been brewing in Anthem. Although there's been no formal announcement, we believe the Cataclysm itself is nigh. In this thread, we'll link to information about this event and the upcoming Cataclysm.

There seems to be a new set of challenges live, available in Freeplay, called 'The Oncoming Storm'. They involve Crystals which have appeared across Bastion. You either destroy crystals, kill crystalized enemies, or complete crystal world events. Here's a look at them for reference.

If anyone wants to ask questions or wish to discuss the upcoming Cataclysm, this is the place to do it! We will not redirect all threads here but we will most likely update this post with further information as we learn more. If you have something you think should be added here, let us know in the comments!

We'll remove off-topic comments in this thread so make sure to stay on topic.
