easter-eggs

[south granite]

Wait, what’s this relating to?

The picture above?

[timid solstice]

yup, its hidden in the metadata

No clues are hidden in the metadata fyi, just nice little messages

[south granite]

Ooh I see, not a reverse psychology thing?

[timid solstice]

well the spectrograph pattern could be a hint to something to do with audio later, but if devs say dont go too deep then they are telling the truth... usually

yet saying that, Rob did say not to spend time yet there was the hidden date..

https://nsspot.herokuapp.com/imagetoaudio/

I dont have time to explore further

[dusty oasis]

no worries

im testing some stuff with this idea to see what comes up of it

[slender lodge]

The ending part seems interesting

Maybe its a mountain peak? Idk looks weird

[slate hinge]

thats a batman logo

[slender lodge]

OwO

[south granite]

Northern lights

[meager fog]

AAAAUUCH it hurt my earz

There is a different line seperated from blue water drop disappearing effect but i dont think its related to something

Its not going to invisible right? It looks like its teleporting.

[vital cove]

omg poggers. y'all solved it. I thought it would never happen LOL

[timid solstice]

[vital cove]

ggs and firm handshakes all round

[timid solstice]

#easter-eggs message

[vital cove]

these guys are crazy

man I was way off about some of the stuff I rabbitholed into

was sure it was gonna have something to do with Titan directly in the end

[timid solstice]

Hmm I wonder if the V.M Virgin Mary clue relates as Keplers Mom Katharina Guldenmann ...

[slender lodge]

MOM? Sorry.. MOM? sorry..

[vital cove]

you crazy motherfucker LOL

[slender lodge]

Any chance you could remove the text from this and send?

I wanna make it my phone wallpaper

[elder fulcrum]

bro how do you came across of this idea

[hidden nacelle]

it literally looks like a wave

[quiet silo]

When you've been hear long enough every thing looks like an audio wave or morse code.

[elder fulcrum]

damn I see

But how do you think of that?

like you seeing a trailer and then say "hold on wait a minute, that's an audio wave"

[timid solstice]

hunting involves alot of out the box thinking

[elder fulcrum]

I see

Its very inspiring

[timid solstice]

Come back and join us for the next tier!

27th March

[quiet silo]

Well we don't just watch the trailer either a bunch of us ripped every frame from the trailer and then comb them for things that stand out. Apparently we are still missing one easter egg in the trailer.

Rob is VERY good at hiding Easter Eggs lol

[elder fulcrum]

u are still searching?!?!?!?

[timid solstice]

hey, there is an easter egg hunt!

[elder fulcrum]

Holy smokes

thats crazy

very interesting too tho

[elder fulcrum]

who is rob if i may ask

[timid solstice]

read this pin to find out more
#easter-eggs message

[quiet silo]

It's a hunt for Easter Eggs the main hunt has been called off until after the beta ends! Currently there is 1 easter egg to still be found in the trailer but we've run dry on clues to it lol

[quiet silo]

He's a Byzantine Empire Enthusiast we all look up to a lot. He also happens to work at embark and made the hunts with help from Dusty another embarker.

[elder fulcrum]

so they are well known at making stuff like this. creating easter eggs?

[quiet silo]

Yeah if you've ever seen some of the crazy battlefield easter eggs back in the day like the megalodon or some of the mirror's edge ones. Those are rob's handywork he used to work at dice.

Apparently to this day some of his easter eggs in battlefield still lay undiscovered.

[hidden nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/megalodon-battlefield-gif-3536181

[elder fulcrum]

no way that is impressive

[elder fulcrum]

hahahahaa

[timid solstice]

[quiet silo]

Lol Flex did you make that??? 🤣

[crimson yarrow]

untrue

[timid solstice]

no its from BFEE (battlefield easter egg community)

[quiet silo]

Ohhh hahaha that's cute. I love the Megalodon appreciation.

[timid solstice]

Glad to see other people enjoy Morrowind and Dagoth-Ur

[elder fulcrum]

[sharp flame]

Do you want different dimensions too?

[quiet silo]

It's Dagoth-Ur from Morrowind run through Elevenlabs lol. I made him promote the finals because I've just been very excited for the game.

[elder fulcrum]

Its hilarious good hahaha

[quiet silo]

And also because staring at the trailer frame by frame might have made me slightly crazy lol

[proud minnow]

hihi

[slender lodge]

If possible!

But normal should be fine 16 9

I wanna use as my desktop bg too without the text

[proud minnow]

Let me know if you need anything from us... ._.
(if you need things in layers...)

[neon stream]

Can we get the EE images, with the clues each in a different layer? 😂

[proud minnow]

haha... I actually have that.!

[slender lodge]

Is it possible to get the X masked character artwork without the text layer and the bottom bar? I wanted just the character and the background to make it my wallpaper for my phone and desktop

[quiet silo]

Can I get a hint at the second trailer easter egg 🥹

[south granite]

I've been into this kinda stuff since Gravity Falls, my views on stuff will never be the same.

[solar cradle]

smart, right

haha

[wary verge]

Big Fish Brain

You got that BFB

[quiet silo]

I'm willing to bet an LFG channel will appear since ranked is a thing it's gonna be my flag for things being about to start.

[sharp flame]

For sure

[meager cypress]

wait there is a beta chat?

[sharp flame]

nope

but there will be once it's up

[meager cypress]

oh I see

[sharp flame]

I don't think the Cheese is a standard weapon/ability

it might be in the shop.. maybe?

as a weapon skin

[solar glade]

correct

you unlock it and then equip it on a Melee Weapon (knife)

[quiet silo]

It's a KNIFE?!

https://tenor.com/view/sweating-hot-sweat-sweaty-nervous-gif-21026685

Good heavens

An actual literal cheese knife as a weapon

These puns are on another level

[sharp flame]

nooooo

hehe I wanted it to be an EE

but that is an amazing skin

and I cannot wait to use it

[neon stream]

There is also an actual cheese knife as a weapon 😂

😂

[quiet silo]

Sir Penger you got to play too?? I hope if the cheese knife and the cheese melee each other at the same time little slices of cheese come off lol

[sharp flame]

[neon stream]

I got invited to the event, yes. By @pure loom

[slender lodge]

[sharp flame]

[sharp flame]

No one coulda afforded the cheese I bet haha

[neon stream]

We were given a few credits for the skins 😛

[quiet silo]

I hope you and him had a blast! Can't wait to get to try myself tomorrow.

[zealous elm]

[timid solstice]

I think i broke something

[quiet silo]

"Okay Cortana Launch the Finals."

[sharp flame]

[slender lodge]

Just watched a video it said if u go to the launch options and type in -releasenow then the Devs will have to release it now

[sharp flame]

I was hoping I could catch it past midnight

[meager cypress]

rob he broke the game

[proud minnow]

NO I end up third... ._.

[quiet silo]

Do I have to type sudo first?

[meager cypress]

[meager cypress]

[quiet silo]

https://tenor.com/view/always-hope-aragorn-hope-estel-there-is-always-hope-gif-17569432

[slender lodge]

Would be the worst sleep

If anything goes wrong lmao

[zealous elm]

lmao

[meager cypress]

[quiet silo]

There is no way bear would get any sleep all the servers are kept on their laptop imagine the sound of the fans.

[sharp flame]

12 hours

[meager cypress]

12 hours

[sharp flame]

so I gotta get home while everyone else is playing

😭

[slender lodge]

"sir wake up... It seems like the servers themselves blew up due to them not being server sided destruction"

[meager cypress]

[slender lodge]

[meager cypress]

[sharp flame]

hehe you never know

[slender lodge]

Fish u better come home edible

[sharp flame]

actually no thanks

[quiet silo]

Er... Preparable?

[slender lodge]

Lmao

[meager cypress]

ok so if we calculate what time the alpha was that was 5am PST which was 1pm GMT so

[slender lodge]

Either one is fine haha

[quiet silo]

If they just selected their release candidate beta client it most likely needs to be uploaded to steam, so that alone is gonna be some time I bet they turn the dial when they get into the office tomorrow after some server checks.

[meager cypress]

true

[sweet narwhal]

Is private matches going to be a thing? If so we should all pile into a private and do a bit of hunting

[meager cypress]

I don't believe it will be a thing

[sweet narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-gif-26494931

[slender lodge]

Last time they started accepting about 2h before playtest started

But that was alpha

[meager cypress]

yeah

[quiet silo]

I'm just so happy so many familiar faces stuck around after the alpha and I get to possibly see you all again in the beta

[meager cypress]

yeah its going to be nice to see people from alpha again in game

[proud minnow]

Not in the CB... but we will see what we do in the future... anything is possible, right.!?

(I mean as a hardcore gamer, why wouldn’t you at least try to get that in...?)

[quiet silo]

You and the team sure make it seem like anything is possible! Hahaha.

[meager cypress]

yeah anything is possible :3

[sharp flame]

hehe cannot wait!

[slender lodge]

Omg with a matchmaking of 48 players..

Imagine 48 people in one queue from this server

W² Wednesdays
T³ Finals
F⁵ Dnb Fridays

[meager cypress]

that would be fun

[quiet silo]

Lol the EE Hunter's official tournament?? You think we could muster enough Byzantine enthusiasts to make it happen?

[slender lodge]

Lmfaoo

[sharp flame]

I think we totally could..

[meager cypress]

fish and swa on a team

[slender lodge]

Easter egg tournament but no one gets any kills cuz we're all busy to find ees

[meager cypress]

which team would rob be in?

[slender lodge]

Wouldn't Rob and dusty be the announcers

[quiet silo]

Winner get's the the EE hunter's custom Namatama we just chose as a weapon charm!

[meager cypress]

lol studying the outside of the map and the insides

[meager cypress]

true true

[zealous elm]

uhhh

[sharp flame]

now THAT would be amazing

[quiet silo]

I'd pay tickets to that match lol

[meager cypress]

you'd be in it

[quiet silo]

Rob could easily sway team fights just being like "fish almost found a secret back there... ._."

Everyone scatters and searches lol

[meager cypress]

not (m)any secrets are here

[quiet silo]

I'm off for the night I think folks I gotta go occupy my time in non finals related content or I might just explode from hype! I'll see you all tomorrow... In THE FINALS.

[meager cypress]

alright take care good luck sleeping with all this hype happening

[slender lodge]

That looks grate

[fickle forge]

Swa no

[timid solstice]

So I guess this is the dynamic charm - namatama tamagotchi

[fickle forge]

That is incredible

[earnest yew]

nama tama tamagotchi? Gimme

[muted star]

😎

[wind acorn]

omg I haven't had one of those since like 2008

[timid solstice]

For me would have been 1997/8 ?

[proud minnow]

not as cool as the namatama one, but still cool... supercool to be honest.!

[hidden nacelle]

[wind acorn]

[sharp flame]

Oh right

idk

[golden moat]

[dusty oasis]

[pure loom]

Thank you for inviting me!!! It was soooo much fun!

[sharp flame]

Hehe no breaks for us I guess

we're gonna search every nook and cranny

ngl some Easter eggs might be in the Seoul construction site which only happens once every few games

so to find something in a specific place like that we'd have to get decently lucky haha

[pure loom]

The view from the crane in Seoul is MINT!

[sharp flame]

Can't imagine it isn't hehe

[pure loom]

lemme screenshot it.... 2 mins (from a recording hehe)

[sharp flame]

The map viewed from ANY angle is mint haha

[proud minnow]

Yes you can see a WR from there.... ._.

[sharp flame]

A visual feast, really

Am I being dumb or does he mean a world record

[proud minnow]

Perhaps... or just something for you to follow..!

[slender lodge]

[sharp flame]

hehe he has to unwrap it first, no? 🤣

[fallen jasper]

If you're gonna ask do it in #⚡┇the-finals-chat. Please.

[sharp flame]

Gahh Kyne save us

[pure loom]

[bitter scaffold]

woahhhh

[fallen jasper]

Tomorrow. Please stop bugging people in this channel.

[wind acorn]

[bitter scaffold]

[pure loom]

Love that one! ❤️

[quiet silo]

Holy SMOKES

😩

[dusty oasis]

That is such a massive sightline at night

[pure loom]

pretty fireworks

[tropic sand]

nice

[zealous elm]

ayo i heard the ak was not even good in the content creator playtest whatsup with that?

[bitter scaffold]

wowzerssssss

[wind acorn]

should these not go in the media channel ?

[pure loom]

I enjoyed it

[dusty oasis]

This is Easter egg channel smile the ak not being good isn't a EE :)

[pure loom]

Yeah, sorry peeps

[sharp flame]

Technically yes but we are Hunters and stuff

[wind acorn]

forgiv

[zealous elm]

on video a cc was saying that it didnt had so much dmg as the lmgs and other weapons

but its still an ak

fire

[tulip matrix]

The Jets flying over Monaco was cool as well

[pure loom]

They're all quite long ttks to be fair, so I guess it becomes a little hard to compare without more time. The M60 is amazing though

My fav

[tulip matrix]

long but not too long imo

[zealous elm]

thanks for letting me know boss

[elfin mist]

🥸

[sharp flame]

What sets them off?

[pure loom]

I think they might just be a random visual effect - when I took that screenshot us and another team with waiting on cashouts, so there wasn't any major win happening

[sharp flame]

I wonder if there is some hidden way to set something like this off

Like.. an Easter Egg..

[tulip matrix]

Just us winning

[pure loom]

Ok, the fireworks were actually for you

They wanted to make you feel better after blowing yourself up with the C4

twice

[slender lodge]

i wonder if u can use the goo gun and jus go all the way to the very top

in the alpha u could do that with a zipline and there was nothing up there but maybe in the beta

[meager cypress]

Vacation fish Vacation

[tulip matrix]

What can I say
I'm a simple man
If I see four enemies,
then I C4 enemies

The aftermath is up to fate

[pure loom]

You should write a book of quotes

[timid solstice]

Yes you can see a WR from there.... ._. WR = white rabbit ?

[tulip matrix]

Working title: Like a Wrecking Ball

[sharp flame]

very possible

Ohh I know a good place for an Easter Egg

it's gonna be really far away

and you gotta be really high up to see it

probably only with the sniper scope

Gonna spend a lot of time analysing the skyline next week..

[timid solstice]

I’m gunna install at work and play some at lunch. Good night all 🫶

[fallen jasper]

Take care Flex!

[tulip matrix]

NurseTama?

[timid solstice]

@fallen jasper Well done today mod! It’s been busy!

[crimson yarrow]

SwissTama?!

[sharp flame]

I love that they made NamaTama mainly red because if the cross was red instead they'd be breaking a Geneva Convention

hehe

[timid solstice]

Oh Damn I just thought, is there any over views of the map possible

Has anyone seen that in any footage ?

[sharp flame]

Not a map, highest point is Rockhound's crane

[light musk]

geneva convention is for wartime only (as far as i know) and this right here is switzerlandtama

[sharp flame]

the Monaco Loading screen art covers the whole map layout though

there is one loading screen taken from pretty high up

[timid solstice]

Ok we might need to request a special render angle to use for creating maps with pins on for eggs

[sharp flame]

nowhere near vertically above

probably so

spectator mode will be great for that!

just fly real high

[timid solstice]

Is there?

[sharp flame]

and look down..

[sharp flame]

Upon squadwipe you enter freecam

[gray helm]

i cant raed good can someone send a voice memo of the info

[timid solstice]

Freelook cam? Nice

[sharp flame]

I mean if anything you can find EEs faster that way maybe..

flying through walls and such

remind me to die more 🤣

[timid solstice]

Unless it’s disabled from that camera ….

[sharp flame]

Nah.. not a visual one like a Nama sitting in a corner

[timid solstice]

Would be cheeky

[sharp flame]

obviously things that you have to interact with or shoot is different

[timid solstice]

What was the practice range?

[sharp flame]

I bet one of the vent shafts leads somewhere secret

[sharp flame]

A massive circular white structure room with an elevated grass patch and a Monaco house in the middle of it

[earnest yew]

vent shafts are a good rotation for lights / mediums

[dark swift]

@raw solstice yo

[dark swift]

6 months ago was closed alpha with much less players

i just cant be bothered to explain in main chat w 2 min slow mode

so like literally noone got on 6 months ago

this time its beta with much more spots to take

so just wait and hope that you ll be the chosen one

you ll get steam app notification (not sure) and 100% you ll get email notification from steam

[neon stream]

There's probably an EE in the training area, it's the only peaceful place, and Rob will most likely want to start easy, as he's doing with the other hunt. The in-game hunt training wheels

[tulip matrix]

I'll have to check the footage for anything conspicuous

[hidden nacelle]

looks so clean!

[slender lodge]

i wonder if that house is some sort of reference to an irl house htat looks similar/ is in an isolated place like this is recreated with these trees, bushes, etc

[tight oak]

i wont lie this padlet is one of the most schizophrenic things ive ever seen

out of context u guys look insane

[tulip matrix]

It really is! Graphics are wonderful and runs well too

[neon stream]

in context too 😂

[tulip matrix]

not just out of context tbh

[slender lodge]

literally Duh

[ivory mural]

man here i was thinking this was gonna be some cute small ARG to promote the game just to see a google doc the length of a LoTR book

[slender lodge]

it is like the lotr book:
LOTR = love of the Rob

[ivory mural]

except instead of finding rings you gotta find keys

[neon stream]

Rob is the Lord of the Riddles

SR=LOTR

I just took a look at #⚡┇the-finals-chatout of curiosity... we have a safe place here... 😅

theres also a very nsfw pic in #⚡┇the-finals-chat

[meager cypress]

sorry for your first day to be like this lol

no wonder why we are on vacation

[quiet silo]

Yeah I think Rob made a good call sending us on our union mandated vacation lol

[meager cypress]

definitely I did not think it was going to be this bad

[slender lodge]

@pure loom i spent like 10m tryna find something in your twitter's new images about TF beta cuz i thought it would be hidden there like u would as a hunter

[meager cypress]

omg I thought you were saying my name for a second

[pure loom]

Great idea. Haha

[pearl lark]

Did you guys saw the cheese on the trailer?

[frigid lava]

which

[pure loom]

Yes, but I forgot to mention it in my trailer breakdown.

[slender lodge]

OH NO

[silent basin]

geez how did i miss this existed until tonight?

[hoary shale]

I was watching your video earlier and noticed I was subscribed but didn't know why then I clicked on your channel and saw mavericks proving grounds that took me way back I wish that game didn't fail

[cunning mesa]

Sometimes I dream about cheese

[pure loom]

Welcome to here then! It was a shame Mavericks didn’t make it.

[hoary shale]

Very excited to play this tomorrow

[pure loom]

Me too!

[spice vapor]

Excited feels like a bit of an understatement. An FPS hasnt truly excited me this much in awhile.

It feels like they're doing something really fresh with this game.

[sharp flame]

That's the goal haha

[spice vapor]

Between the dynamic server-side destruction, the catch n chase unique game mode, the presentation of the game, focus on movement and fast arena-like gameplay, etc.

An FPS game that's this unique, that actually has a big budget attached to it, hasnt happened in awhile imo.

[ivory mural]

it reminds me so much of the chaos that is Ready Player One

in the best way possible

[silent basin]

you watched that youtube review too eh?

[ivory mural]

?

nah it just reminds me of it

[sharp flame]

Well I mean it's in a VR world haha

[ivory mural]

who mamde the youtube review, might check it out

[sharp flame]

Ready Player One is the best example of this kinda setting

[ivory mural]

just found out about this game today after seeing the beta trailer, instantly thought man this looks exactly like ready player one

loved the movie so i thought may as well check out the game

[sharp flame]

Hehe

Ready Player One is a story all about Easter Eggs..

hope to catch some in this playtest..

[ivory mural]

it's basically a dream come true kind of game

definitely hoping for at least one ready player one related easter egg

[jovial galleon]

Where are the eggs

[green umbra]

the eggs are us, plot twist

[ivory mural]

[sharp flame]

Everywhere...

[rain ether]

Indeed

[fickle forge]

If we have to intentionally get out of bounds, I will love this

[ivory mural]

oooooh that would be so much fun

[timid solstice]

TFEE finding the answer to Tier 1D

[fickle forge]

I like @vital cove doin his lil dance in the corner

[hidden nacelle]

Kyne's one looks cursed haha

[hearty cobalt]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/ospuze is this site new?

[hidden nacelle]

[zenith crown]

thats been known for a long time

[timid solstice]

well done for noticing it, the logo image is actually called egg1.png and egg2.png 🙂

[hearty cobalt]

Where's egg2?

[solar glade]

oh ye i posted an image about it earlier

[timid solstice]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/iseul-t

[hearty cobalt]

OH now i saw both of them

ty

[timid solstice]

I see!

[spice vapor]

What is this??? wtf

[timid solstice]

its a little 'hidden in plain sight' page on the finals home page that takes you to one of the games sponsors promos

[bold heron]

how many of the sponsors/factions/companies are there?

honestly dig the world building they provide

[timid solstice]

14

maybe 15 if Tristan+ is one

[feral raptor]

what is all this?

[timid solstice]

the logos just posted or the channel?

[feral raptor]

logo ^^

are these "fake" sponsors in game?

[timid solstice]

They are fictional in game sponsors yeah

[feral raptor]

Ok ty

[spice vapor]

Really awesome there's so much world-building

[timid solstice]

and world destruction

[sharp flame]

I like the Ospuze Ad variation with the lightning!

[timid solstice]

yea very pop art stylee

[sharp flame]

You guys catch the free Steelseries The Finals Beta Code?

[timid solstice]

Im already in because alpha. cool that other can get that though

[mortal ivy]

Just noticed that I can play, fun to see what has changed since alpha

And hopefully there is hair now

[sharp flame]

There is!

[sharp flame]

(hair)

[mortal ivy]

Same here 😦

[sharp flame]

Hehe you should see the outfits people had in the Youtube vids

[mortal ivy]

Is the error due to server overload, or are we specifically not allowed?

[timid solstice]

not released fully yet

[thorny beacon]

do you see the game in your lib?

[zealous elm]

nope

[timid solstice]

the 'play now' message is there and has always been on the store page since alpha

[mortal ivy]

Only my old playtest one, and it just says Uninstall

[thorny beacon]

i don't even see it on my lib and i just activated the key

can't install though for the reason he posted.

[low summit]

same, so that isn't a problem

[queen mica]

good to know im not alone in this

[wanton sundial]

Not working yet since it's not available, but soon ™️

(Also please keep this chat for Easter Eggs!)

[spice vapor]

If we've already put the key in on Steam...we don't need it anymore after that, right? It's been credited to our account even though it's not showing in our library?

[tulip crane]

Hope the game has some Easter eggs based on TF2 heavy and scout

I saw the light class has a double barrel

[wanton sundial]

I'm honestly not sure, sorry 😦 If you have issues with Steelseries codes after the game is out you'll need to contact them or Steam support

[drifting bloom]

as a Korean speaker i'm so excited to see if theres any Korean specific easter eggs tbh

[sharp flame]

haha we might need some help translating the Korean in Seoul

[drifting bloom]

oh absolutely! :3 just ping me.

[mortal ivy]

Oh, great to hear! And sorry, but easter-eggs is my safe space, since after the alpha the general chats scares me. I'm too old to keep up with chats going near the speed of light 😅

[wanton sundial]

Feel free to use #🥚┇off-topic

[thorny beacon]

but you get handed out warns for absolutely no reason there 😭

[mortal ivy]

@drifting bloom can you confirm that the sign just says "no smoking"?

[sharp flame]

❤️

[sharp flame]

I think I have a slightly better quality version

[timid solstice]

i was looking for that

it got lost

[wanton sundial]

Warn reasons are given in DM, if in doubt you can #📧┇contact-us to review

[tulip crane]

Beta is live icymi

[bold heron]

korean here, yup!

[mortal ivy]

How did you (or who) manage that, fish? I spent a lot of time on mine 😦

[drifting bloom]

yes! it says 금연구역 (geum-yeon-guyeok), so more specifically "no smoking area"

[thorny beacon]

@steady compass

[timid solstice]

[fierce bronze]

how to download?

[mortal ivy]

Try closing Steam all together and re-open. Or restart your computer (given you have beta access)

[fierce bronze]

@mortal ivy I applied for a beta test. How can I see if I was approved Or not?

[quiet silo]

Check the steam page if it has a green play button you were accepted, keep questions like this to #⚡┇the-finals-chat though please. 🙂

[sharp flame]

I am so happy rn

will begin hunting

see y'all later!

[timid solstice]

Im getting constant sound static audio bug, will have to hunt with the sound off

[quiet silo]

I'm off on the hunt

[solar glade]

well hello there

i'm just inspecting weapons

[quiet silo]

Lol we had the same idea

After all the concept renders we got of weapons with thing hidden it was the first place I wanted to go

[solar glade]

@sharp flame

hehe

i will spam these because they were so hard to read during the hunt

[pure loom]

This is like a yoga retreat compared to #⚡┇the-finals-chat 😂

[fierce bronze]

Can they still give you access?

[timid solstice]

We will invite veeerrrrryyyy slowly with a goal to ramp up the number of invites sent over the course of the next few hours and days. This means that if you get in right away, expect some longer matchmaking times until things get busy!

[fierce bronze]

there will be some kind of notification or you need to look yourself?

Phew, I already domul can't play on the beta test

[formal pewter]

any fix on the delay or fps?

3070 50fps with medium graphics isnt that good tbh

[timid solstice]

please dont ask here

[formal pewter]

oh sorry, where then?

i just saw people asking things like that a while ago and I thought it was okay, my bad

[scenic beacon]

Try #🥚┇off-topic

Someone might be able to help

[sharp flame]

The Finals host I see

my res is pretty low

can someone screenshot that area on the OSPUZE weapon? ^^^^^^

[scenic beacon]

What are these for?
Same thing with the #🔴┇media-chat channel

[amber scaffold]

that the ak?

[sharp flame]

oui

[amber scaffold]

aight sec

[sharp flame]

[mortal ivy]

wonder why it says NINE mm, instead of using digits

Btw, do we know if we are looking for something, or are we just 👀 stuff?

[solar glade]

i was just 👀

[scenic beacon]

Just looking

[mortal ivy]

If anything gonna lead us to the next clue, it better be

There are a lot of 6 digit numbers..

On the guns

[ivory mural]

hoohoohoo, looking forward to going berserk with these new in-game EEs

[green umbra]

we're prob gonna find some easter eggs... if we destroy all the buildings!!

[fallen jasper]

Not the channel for this.

[floral axle]

Please refrain from using this channel for anything other than EE hunts.

[fickle forge]

Has anyone found stuff in game yet? I feel bad running around aimlessly lol

[sharp flame]

just the weapon skins

[fickle forge]

ooooo, do tell

do the textures have clues?

[sharp flame]

idk

just numbers

[quiet silo]

Trying to find what rob hinted at with the crane and WR, but people keep blowing me up while I look lol.

[sharp flame]

Hehe ikr

Spectator mode seems easier..

[vapid canyon]

Well that's random, I could access this channel too (was muted)

[granite trench]

this bunny?

[timid solstice]

white rabbit!

we must follow it!

[slender lodge]

i noticed a couple of red dots on the big skyscraper

its on the edge

it just stays there.. for liek 3 games now

wonder if its just a bug of an EE thing

[timid solstice]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WDaPJG7DaDSp7HC8THw8i8gmEKYgcgpg3rMReHu5IYA/edit?usp=sharing

[timid solstice]

there are at least 2 building with it on

[solar glade]

i only played this morning and wasn’t paying attention

[solar glade]

awesome!

[timid solstice]

Petronelle is the CEO right?

[granite trench]

[sharp flame]

I see it but no rabbit..

[solar glade]

yus, Ospuze CEO

in-game l o r e

[timid solstice]

Ive looked around the VEIN building 3 times and cant see the rabbit 😦

[granite trench]

jsut queued on seoul, I will look

[sharp flame]

could not find it on either side

there are only 2 right

[timid solstice]

2 signs on one building I could find

[ivory mural]

[sharp flame]

where?

@timid solstice

[sharp flame]

also is that in spectator mode

[timid solstice]

on the back side of this building

[timid solstice]

yes

[sharp flame]

oh but not that sign

[timid solstice]

you cant jump on the rails under the sign.... i tried

[sharp flame]

hahahha

me too

I checked there in spectate, no rabbit

it's that exact place, where the tile splits E down the middle

must be for clear weather only..

maybe it's facing towards something..

oh!

it's there

just subtle

[ivory mural]

is its nose pointing to anything?

[latent peak]

Can u blow up that wall ?

[sharp flame]

hmmm

it'd be hard..

there's nowhere to stand and aim

[latent peak]

ah i see 🤔

[timid solstice]

is that at night?

[sharp flame]

this is night

[timid solstice]

because the sign is illuminated and you can hardly see it

I've changed into my bunny hoodie and bringing an 6 pack with me to go out hunting...

[timid solstice]

I think you can from the inside

[sharp flame]

Not sure it would help but I can try

[sharp flame]

Hehe what is that in the shop

[timid solstice]

I think it came in the premium battlepass bundle

[timid solstice]

yeah you can

none spectate

[proud minnow]

Cute little rabbit you found there… ._.

[timid solstice]

yes but what does it mean?!?

[ivory mural]
