gotta make sure the viewers are getting their moneys worth

sharp flame
#

this is totally a shot recreation of a FIFA or other sport trailer

#

it's different

#

I think

#

the chest area has a separate pattern

#

idk

quiet silo
#

Just so people know what I'm talking about I could be wrong here but I am seeing a shoreline.

namatama_beach.jpg
#

Ignore my horrible mark ups lol

sharp flame
#

and if this were a body of water surely we'd see the other side

#

or at least a horizon

#

again the different colours of blue is just colour grading between pieces

quiet silo
#

Gotcha, I still find the piece on the right hand side weird. Because land doesn't jut UP like that if the angle is low to high of the picture.

#

The only thing my brain equates to that kind of land appearing would be if the land bent away going right and then back in to frame much further away.

#

It's odd to piece together because of the angle though too.

i like the theory

but I don't travel much so yeah

quiet silo
#

Definitely very dry but a lot of the mid west/Rocky Mountain lakes like Tahoe and Powell tend to have very dry shore lines. Lake Powell especially is just mostly rocks. But Powell is probably TOO dry lol

#

Although that funny little shrubbery kinda matches...

#

Nah too big.

sharp flame
#

well there are big and small

quiet silo
#

My brain also might just be fried from staring at the frame by frame of the trailer lol

depends on age lol

might be australian coast

that is definitely a coast

Lots of 1:18 screenshots already in

pure loom
#

I reckon that's just sky not water, and that it's just a different brightness, so it contrasts against the sky above

solar smelt
#

The different brightness part cuts into the right on the image so I agree that's not water

Check out ciphey on GitHub, I think it’s a cool decoder and I’ve yet to see something it can’t decode be wary that if it’s simple cipher will look over it

It’s too smart for its own good

I have a feeling these could have been tier clue images.. unless they were in the other teasers

they were in the Alpha announcement

at the beginning of the trailer

@sharp flame did you interpret these (the one on the left is probably too hard)?

also interesting that the 00:00:00 appears as much as REACHTHEFINALS does

I wonder what it means

👀 :👀: 👀

Big Nama are watching you kek

hahah

This could also refer to movement in the game

Also - how about that sliding mechanic?

sharp flame
pure loom
#

Well, it's new, right?

Is it? I don't think it is 🤔

Maybe I'm confused

@sharp flame ironic that you did the translations eh?

Babel Fish (website)

Yahoo! Babel Fish was a free Web-based multilingual translation application. In May 2012 it was replaced by Bing Translator (now Microsoft Translator), to which queries were redirected.

Did we have sliding in the Alpha??

neon stream
#

I think we did

sharp flame
#

yeah

timid solstice
#

yeah pretty sure

sharp flame
#

but obviously it doesn't do much

#

so not very memorable

pure loom
#

OK, "you" had sliding in the Alpha kek

neon stream
#

You played heavy the most, so for you it probably felt like crouching because of the little it moved 😂

pure loom
sharp flame
#

anyway this is the kinda idea I had for the infographic

#

just an idea of what it could look like

pure loom
#

"First-person shooter (FPS) games generally provide five degrees of freedom: forwards/backwards, slide left/right, up/down (jump/crouch/lie), yaw (turn left/right), and pitch (look up/down). If the game allows leaning control, then some consider it a sixth DOF; however, this may not be completely accurate, as a lean is a limited partial rotation."

#

Maybe a hint that we'll have leaning?

sharp flame
#

makes sense!

pure loom
#

Unless we can do flips?

With the middle finger Q and ring finder A

Or press them both with ring

pure loom

#

@pure loom PUBG was the first game I played that had that mechanic, and I followed one of WJs tutorials 😛

#

(That's how I do it most of the time)

#

Except I crouch and run with the little finger 😂

pure loom
#

Interesting. I use my index finger to hit E to lean left and then I can move left easily with my ring finger

#

If I need to go back into cover (right) I just stop leaning and move right with my index finger

Wait 🤔

So how do you crouch? 🤔

Sorry I keep asking this, I just can't picture how I would play like that 😂

It seems too complicated

crouch is l-ctrl not c

#

Mods and CMs are sleeping, so we took the EE channel and converted it into the keybindings channel 😂

#

I use c

neon stream
#

I find C too "unnatural" to press, if that makes sense. As in, I have to move my thumb to be able to press it, instead of having it relaxed

hidden nacelle
#

c to crouch >>>>

neon stream
pure loom
#

I usually set x to crouch, z to prone, shift to sprint

sick stone
#

You guys are wierd, I bind crouch to o

pure loom
sweet narwhal
sick stone
slender lodge
#

i set ctrl to crouch because my palm can separately click on ctrl

#

which spares me my pinky for shift alone

pure loom
#

I don't use my little finger at all. I should probably work on that lol

slender lodge
pure loom
#

But I should really train myself to use my little finger

#

I think I just rested my thumb underneath for prone and crouch and it back natural to push it across further underneath to hit shift

#

A bad habit

slender lodge
#

What

pure loom
#

hehe

slender lodge
#

You use shift with thumb?

#

Are you left handed?

pure loom
#

well, your not sprinting and crouching or going prone at the same time, so it just made sense I guess

slender lodge
#

That's super fair

#

But you would want instant access to those in a few games

neon stream
#

or crouch and jump

slender lodge
#

Like in rust you need to crouch jump which requires very similar input

pure loom
slender lodge
#

Ahhh

pure loom
#

I write left handed and throw with my right

slender lodge
#

I wonder if there's a keyboard config which suits your needs better

#

:0

#

Multihandual

pure loom
#

I can use the mouse left-handed, but not for gaming

#

not enough muscle memory

slender lodge
#

Actually holding a keyboard with the right hand

#

If you're using thumb for all crouch sprint and space

#

That would make sense

#

What if you try that bone below the thumb

#

For spac e

I never thought about it for people who are left handed

It doesn't. kek

slender lodge

#

tbh, I think that default keybindings are "right handed", but you can easily make them "left handed", keyboards are mostly mirrored

slender lodge

I assumed everyone types the same way

True

What if u use ijkl

And then right shift ctrl

#

I'm far from an audio expert would it be possible to isolate just the announcers voices in this new trailer? In some of the segments the rest of the audio drowns them out I'm wondering if maybe an easter egg could be hidden in the voice lines.

(Also if you could isolate just the music because it honestly slaps so hard but that isn't as important.)

i got 1404E210DDFD turned into escape with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex

Soundex

Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as pronounced in English. The goal is for homophones to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in spelling. The algorithm mainly encodes consonants; a vowel will not be encoded unless it is the first letter. Soundex is the most widel...

Someone was ripping all the frames earlier does anyone have a link to that folder?

#

I wanna pour over them tomorrow when I work from home lol

#

Also I had a friend who knows photoshop way better than me look into these and he pulled up two weird pixel images in the white static. One looks like a submarine or fish on the left? And the other is like a strawberry idk we're both kind of stumped by that one. He also finds it weird that the transition has something under it instead of just a white flash for the transition. He just altered the levels to make these appear. He did admit it could just be random noise but he works on media creation stuff and found it weird that the compression made symbols like this if it wasn't purposeful. Might be nothing but we both found it odd looking over this, they were also both hidden at the edges of the moving light blue segment in the center of those two frames.

whataretheseshapes.png
#

Second time we've seen a weird pixel fish I also saw one at the top of you in one frame of the trailer

#

Reminds me of the pixelish image of the flour + egg in the first tier I think it was

slender lodge
#

Ooh

#

These are awesome finds

#

Submarine and strawberry with a hole?

quiet silo
#

We're both kind of skeptical of it I mean we are digging DEEP on this. We just compared to a flash of white on a battlefield 4 official multiplayer launch trailer and the transition was totally different it was just a brick of white.

slender lodge
#

Ahhhh

quiet silo
#

rob if you see this he really wants to know what you did if this is something because he thinks it's really cool lol.

quiet silo
# slender lodge Ahhhh

I mean the battlefield one had none of this like artifacting intentional or otherwise from the compression. So it feels like it might have been intentional

#

He'll explain better than me but can't post photos yet lol here are the reference ones he pulled up

slender lodge
#

I think it's definitely intentional because this happened before

quiet silo
slender lodge
#

Cannot remember which clue but in an earlier clue, spear pulled the levels down to the lowest and found some kind of cluee

hoary parrot
#

So I KNOW when people edit this kinda shit they'll do like I would and just use a white gradient flash or something, which typically leaves nothing behind - example that Ralliden just sent, where I took stills from the BF4 trailer with a similar distorted flash and there's nothing like it here

BUT It's also a really simple thing to put it into photoshop and use Image >Adjustments > Levels

quiet silo
hoary parrot
#

so it feels like something I'm reading too into :v

Uhm

No I think it was that gold thing

Can't remember what it was

#

Rob did say he left 2 Easter eggs

#

Idk if it was referred to the beta or the trailer

pure loom
#

I think he means the trailer - which would be the Namatama desert image and probably the 1:18 images

#

The pug is also an easter egg though

slender lodge
#

Whats in 118 again?

pure loom
#

All the Tier 1D images shown at 1:18 into the trailer

slender lodge
#

Ohh right

#

I have a feeling that the pug was more of a reference to the embarker and the 118 to the ee

#

Maybe Rob meant 2 bigger Easter eggs

#

He hasn't started tier 1e yet either so maybe..?

How long was the wait between tiers last time?

around a day

Ah right

Too excited for the trailer spent way too much time dissecting these frames especially since I know there are only two easter eggs lol. I need to go to sleep, very exciting day for everyone excited to hopefully see you all... IN THE FINALS.

And have a good sleep friendhug_friend

#

my best friends , . in the youtube video will move you frame by frame. If you have windows 11 and double right click the video it should give you a take snapshot option.

#

Was using my work laptop to nab snapshots

#

I left the most interesting ones here in the channel over the day.

#

Someone was extracting the frames and I would love to get that folder if you find out who had it 😉

timid solstice
#

on windows put the video in a folder and on the explorer window type cmd to open a cmd prompt at that location.
then paste a script like this ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vsync vfr -q:v 2 img_%06d.jpg

#

i used png for best quality but it uses alot space ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vsync vfr frame_%06d.png

#

Also use the video posted on google drive, the 1440p one

Hi EE-hunters.!
The next tier will start after the Beta, anything you might find now is not related to this particular hunt… ._. (just so you don’t spend a lot of time searching for stuff, instead you should relax a bit, hopefully play tons of THE FINALS Beta and recharge your batteries for the upcoming phases of this hunt.)

Hopefully I can find some time to 🕵️ again)

Welcome back, happy to hear you got better!

@mortal ivy Welcome back! Good to know you are better! We solved T1D like a day ago, Resk made the final connection, the password was "0vif0rm". Now we are waiting for the next tier, which will be after the Beta (which ends on the 21st of March). We've been trying to find things on the trailer, Rob confirmed there are 2 EEs that are not related to this hunt

I'm new here so all I can say 1D is solved

By the way if anyone wants all the frames let me know and I'll zip it up and stash it somewhere for download.

timid solstice

Where I work we can capture 60fps with 160 cameras @12mb/s each ... 10 minute recording is 1.1 million frames ... 70tb ...

this is recording to m.2 drives aswell

I'm screaming lol

Dear god the poor write cycles on those ssds

320tb m.2 capacity for raw capture then transfer to slower raids

#

Are you guys running a striped mega raid on all those SSDS?!

timid solstice
#

20 pcs, 8 x 2tb each. not one raid

quiet silo
#

HOW MANY .M2s ARE IN YOUR RAID?!

#

If I was the people assembling those raids I would be sweating BULLETS dude. You must have redundancy's in effect right? Does it go to the slower raid as soon as it's written. I would be terrified of that striped raid having one ssd fail lol

timid solstice
#

One m.2 stores data for 2 cameras, no biggy if one ever fails

#

Hey sorry I’m new I looked at the pins but couldn’t exactly figure it out, is there some gimmick for Easter eggs in this game? Like rewards or challenges? Are the devs known for putting a lot in?

slender lodge
#

But they will be in game once it releases I guess

#

Hidden clues and puzzles that lead to something big at the end

torn skiff
#

So there are hidden images within art and what not that are teasers for things that will be in the game?

slender lodge
#

They might be in the teaser or trailers too

torn skiff
#

There is some reward for finding all of them?

slender lodge
#

Well it's more of a community effort right now so not individual

hidden nacelle
#

we dont know

slender lodge
#

But yeah no rewards that we know if

torn skiff
#

We are talking like cosmetics or items that will be in the game are hidden in trailers?

#

Those are the Easter eggs?

slender lodge
#

Here check this out

#

This was the last tier

fallen jasper
#

Yeap

torn skiff
#

Sorry might be dumb questions I just saw the trailer and hadn’t heard of the fame and got excited so I joined the server and was confused with what all the decoding and Easter eggs were for and what exactly they were

#

Oh sweet thanks I’ll check it out

slender lodge
#

That's awesome! Feel free to join us for the next tier which starts after the beta

fallen jasper
#

We always welcome more egg-tectives

torn skiff
#

Will do! So the goal is to be on the lookout for hidden things in trailers or what not and the ultimate goal of them is unknown at this moment correct?

fallen jasper
#

I think the EE(s) in the trailer isn't directly related to THE PROMISE but yeah, Rob or Dusty post images here and in #official-art that have hidden things in it.

WASR-series rifles

Wassenaar Arrangement Semi-automatic Rifles (commonly referred to as WASR-series rifles) are a line of rifles sold in the United States by Century International Arms. The rifles are manufactured in Romania by the Cugir Arms Factory and are a semi-automatic variant of the Pistol Mitralieră model 1963/1965, a Romanian licensed derivative of the So...

The AK was so popular everyone made variants of it.

#

Even the U.S.

obviously because of the awesome name

it's a rifle for assault

now everyone wants an assault rifle

Who's currently working on a recap document? I know a couple of you are.

How's it going?

sharp flame
#

I'm trying to remember how T1B connected so I can finish that off haha

fallen jasper
#

Which bit of connection are you trying to remember?

sharp flame
#

The Yakuza connection..

#

I think I missed when that was happening @fallen jasper

fallen jasper
#

@pure loom Hey do you remember what the deal with Yakuza was in Tier 1B?

#

Only pinging you since you were the one that brought up the references to it

sharp flame
#

oh, you don't know either haha

#

ngl it's crazy how few clues we found for some of these images

#

I'm gonna have another look

#

okay well one thing I can see already

is if you count the spare bullets

hehe

ye thats what i found a while ago

lol

pure loom
sharp flame
#

there was a 190B clue right?

#

ahh yeah

#

YAKUZA A

#

Akira Kurosawa = AK

#

that was a nice one

timid solstice
#

that turned out not to be a connection really

#

190B 01 1B151A01 = SHARONA - released in '79

sharp flame
#

it's just that

#

we only found two things in that image

#

the Beethoven notes, and the 190B

fallen jasper
#

Honestly for a recap we probably don't need to list every possible clue, just the ones that we know led us to the solution.

timid solstice
fallen jasper
#

Just curious. We've got a bit of downtime now until the next tier, figured it might be good for acquainting new hunters when the Beta ends.

sharp flame
#

I was thinking during the Beta

#

we could have an EE Introduction pinned somewhere

fallen jasper
#

Wouldn't be the worst idea

sharp flame
#

so people who visit this channel would know what it is

#

I just think the height of interested people will be during the weeks, where we can make them aware of the EE hunt

fallen jasper
#

If you wanna share the link to your in progress one later I'll pin it

sharp flame
#

gotcha

(which honestly in hindsight makes the tier look a lot simpler than it was)

but it really was staring us in the face

Tier answer summary

Tier 1A - 1064 (Oct 6th - 11th, 5 days)
The password for tier 1a was “ 1064 ” which came from the date that the Pisa Cathedral started construction, which was according to the Pisan calendar at the time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisa_Cathedral and also the asteroid code for 1064_Aethusa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1064_Aethusa. The clues for this tier were the Pisa Griffin that once stood atop the Pisa Cathedral and artwork with a cathedral as its main focus being hit by meteors. There were hidden Greek letters that made the word Aethusa scattered and Aethusa plants too.

Tier 1B - lxxix (Oct 11th - 30th, 19 days)
The password for tier 1b was “ lxxix ”which is lowercase LXXIX - Roman numerals for the date AD 79. The main clues were the movie “ 79 A.D. ” which was released in 1962 and directed by Frank Kramer; searching for this date shows it in Roman numerals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AD_79. Other clues included or were connected to 79 such as the song ‘My Sharona’ released 1979 and Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.25, Op.79.

Tier 1C - 5f137s2 (Oct 30th - Nov 17th, 18 days)
The password for tier 1c was “ 5f137s2 ” which is the electron configuration for the element “Mendelevium”. The main clues were the Luna 3 far side of the moon mission and album cover of Pink Floyd’s Dark side of the moon, hinting at spectroscopy and one of its founders Anders Ångström. Also were Angstrom units and atomic configurations, the 118 clue was for the periodic table and Dmitri Mendeleev. The morse for “F” hinted at looking at the F block in the periodic table and the element “Mendelevium” named after Mendeleev. Later clues were atomic orbitals and electron configurations, this all pointed to using the code “5f137s2”.

#

I have that in the doc, need to update it

sharp flame
#

if ppl are aware of how 'obvious' it can be, maybe they can look for staring-in-the-face clues and connect them, hopefully

sharp flame

We still have 1 EE to find in the beta trailer right?

timid solstice

yes we think, unless it is one of the smaller things like the cheese or casino royale reference

I tried to read that web with all the arrows, and i can't wrap my mind around it 😛

Yes xD

#

Did anyone analyse the sound in the trailer? I haven't seen anything about sound analysis in the docs, first thing that comes to my mind is the announcer, is he speaking different languages ?

tribal tree
#

It's like, so many questions, but it's mostly my bad, since i need to put time to read through all

fallen jasper
#

That is mainly a thing we do to draw connections between images, and potential clues hidden within.

tribal tree
#

But the 1st question is, what's the meaning of tiers?

#

Like tier 1C 1 B?=

timid solstice
#

yes that padlet is the "get things all in one place as we find them"

fallen jasper
timid solstice

Oh!!! That explains a lot XD

as we unlock one, we get a new image with clues for the password

Aren't we waiting for a new hint or was the Beta trailer the hint?

Yeah we are waiting until after the Beta (21st March we guess) for the next tier

Enough time to get people upto speed

sharp flame
#

I'm not looking for Easter Egg no.2 anymore. I'm convinced it's the FIFA reference at the end

#

cause that definitely is a FIFA angle

#

(and considering Rob worked on FIFA and all)

slender lodge
#

Another theory I had was maybe namatama is a special item that can act as a big grenade when kicked and impacted it would blow up

#

Since he's always cracking lma

@wheat nimbus I can talk about it more if you wanna listen

#

better to do it in the relevant chat haha

wheat nimbus
sharp flame
#

(Titan is the largest moon of Saturn)

#

I've coloured the pixels black, but they were actually transparent

#

if you took the length of the gaps between these transparent pixels, they spelled TITAN

wheat nimbus
#

crazy

sharp flame
#

another clue we found spelt out YMF292

#

which actually is the name for the sound chip of the Sega Saturn and Sega Titan

tribal tree
sharp flame
#

which we also took some time to find

slender lodge
#

Still don't know if burrow is part of this ee or a side quest

I think it's this tier

well yeah

Titan and Saturn were clues

and this was the sound processor for Sega Titan and Saturn

can't disagree there

wheat nimbus
#

now I'm actually interested in finding clues hahahaha

sharp flame
#

a bit unfortunate you joined in the downtime

slender lodge
#

It sucks that the more time we take with the hunt, the easier it gets for us but it gets harder for new people to follow

wheat nimbus
sharp flame
#

any clues you find will just help us understand the previous tiers better though

#

there are still plenty of things/ideas which we have no idea how they connect

sharp flame
slender lodge
#

Hahaha as in that Rob gives us hints on what direction to go to

#

But it's just more clues for new people to start with

#

The padlet helps a lot though

sharp flame
#

there are others in tiers 1A 1B 1C which we did not find...

slender lodge
#

We definitely need more people to help out haha

#

In a hunt downtime there's only like 1.5 people working on it

sharp flame
#

(to give context, there were plenty of clues pointing at the word 'burrow', and Rob and Dusty (or Embarkians) had been leaving out the letter 'o' from their recent messages)

#

and therefore, 'burrw'

slender lodge
#

Yeah this whole sub tier was filled with Os and 0s and missing letters

#

You deleyed it reeeee

#

Was gonna reply with something funny

sharp flame
#

what

#

say it

slender lodge
#

I was gonna say you were the 0.05

fallen jasper
#

My man is the 3.5

slender lodge
#

But it wasn't funny enough cuz if you're 0.05 then I'm -0.5

sharp flame
slender lodge
#

I may be 3.5

#

But when I'm with you

#

I feel like a 10

sharp flame
slender lodge
#

LMAO

#

XD

#

I need to find more clues

#

Found a total of 0.5

sharp flame

I think sometimes we just need help interpreting them

sometimes all we need is someone going 'That looks more like a 4 than an A'

It's less of a linear line and more of a 5d omnidirectional chessboard where nobody wins

when you sent the email it lets Rob know that the tier has been solved

he lurks in this chat a lot, so if we post it here, he will know

#

however there may be lone wolves, and such

fallen jasper

It's just a failsafe in case we have some rogue operator that solves it without telling any of us.

He knows we've solved it, and the EE hunt is largely on hold until the Beta ends on the 21st.

Didn't it release earlier in the drive

Check the time

But then doesnt it mean that that tier is resolved? Or...

yes

it is

we have the password and the tier is resolved

Exact time someone found it

#

Plus or minus 2 minutes

sharp flame

I think my post a few minutes before might've inspired that specific password

fallen jasper

Rob has definitely been working on this for a while

sharp flame
#

Resk was that person

fallen jasper

I don't think you've inspired any passwords

slender lodge
sharp flame

So, sorry, if i ask too much questions :P. After Reski found solution, did the studio dropped something else?

sharp flame
tribal tree
#

Wtf, then Reski has to be the pw for the next one

He's an insider

sharp flame

so besides trailer nothing else

If that's the case

But it's risky, you cannot rely your marketing schedudle on this

The trailer doesn't have anything to do with the EE Hunt

oh no I don't think they're related

imagine Rob's relief when we got it the day before the scheduled release
