easter-eggs

[sharp flame]

sorry I couldn't help it 😭

[slender lodge]

Honestly..

I thought it was it

Time to find 4 rabbits in 6 days

[dense hound]

maybe there's a clue on the first rabbit that was found

[sharp flame]

The doors don't want me to find easter eggs 😭

it happens so much man I just give up at this point

[solar glade]

just had the chance to check them out. really cool resources, thanks for that!

[hardy dawn]

Ty my dude

[haughty linden]

i found a good thing to do, use "F" instead.

it's much easier and works better then pressing E, gotta be running at them though.

[dense hound]

looking for anything in the firing range

i don't think this is an easter egg haha

[spice belfry]

no good trigger discipline

[ocean grail]

wait. who’s discovery corps?

[tulip matrix]

That is the Tournament organizers

[ocean grail]

alr

[ocean grail]

did u use an ai to make ur banner?

[tulip matrix]

yeah

[ocean grail]

lol. i could tell. it’s so difficult to get words right on some of them

[stuck basin]

Wrong chat gngine

[rose blade]

https://tenor.com/view/new-world-frank-sunny-iasip-philly-gif-23298149

[light monolith]

egg. protein.

[fallen jasper]

Is that an egg i can’t tell

[marsh marsh]

lmao

[timid solstice]

to add to this, he also says "quack-astrophe" and "one of our mascots started the destruction early" - so does this mean the Ducks an the Flamingos are also mascots like Nama Tama ?

[shell latch]

up up down down left right left right A B = nothing this aint a 90s arcade shooter
sorry if this isnt allowed, more of a joke post delete if needed

[slender lodge]

Good try

[fallen jasper]

my favourite easter egg is people in my team on tournament. Almost all are braindead and cannot play

[sharp flame]

final few days...

maybe the White Rabbits are bugged/invisible...

Rob, can you hop into a regular match and check if they are there 🤣 ??

[timid solstice]

Ah yes this is the classic Easter egg hunting thought pattern hehe

[sharp flame]

just making sure...

would be real funny if they weren't visible the whole time

[dense hound]

quick someone try to queue snipe him

if you find him in queue follow him 🧠

[proud minnow]

Stigsson (lead environment artist) had a GREAT idea how to make them pop up when you ”fed them” with props… but it was TOO hard, even for me, haha… so they are visible all the time… ._.

[sharp flame]

that would be crazy tough to find..

but such an awesome idea

[proud minnow]

Yes, he implemented it and was screaming “Rob, rob take a look at this, you need to place props here for the to show up!!” Soooo that would have meant that you had to run around with a flowerpot in your hand and chasing invisible small white rabbits… too advanced for NOW… ._.

[fallen jasper]

Too advanced? Sounds like it's too much fun.

C-can we make Nama Tama pop up when we feed it with props? This is... purely for science you understand. I wanna see a egg explode-

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1009830578545246213/1079121575984508938/egg.gif

[sharp flame]

for now we will just hunt (nearly) invisible small white rabbits that stay still

😂

[timid solstice]

Where are the plant pots on Seoul

[sharp flame]

Could be testing it in Monaco or map 3..

I think there are plants in Seoul hospital

[proud minnow]

Seoul is enough… ._.

[dense hound]

@sharp flame aka it's somewhere you can reach on foot! Not OOB or spectator-only 👀

[sharp flame]

that's assuming the prototype that you 'chase' is in the same place

as the static non-hidden one

also YESS no more grinding

hehe time to go full-time hunting

[dense hound]

nice job!!

[sharp flame]

anyone up for hunting?

hehe I'm inspired to find these rabbits

I wanna give whoever added sliding sounds on glass an award

also, one of the lil problems I have with Seoul at the end 😭

[neon stream]

That looks like one of those "moments before a disaster" thing 😂

Anyone who hasn't died to "hazard" in the game, hasn't played enough 😂

[sonic sequoia]

thank goodness the clip ended you could have died

[solar glade]

idk how you did it, Ranked was unbearable in NA servers

[sharp flame]

A lot of coming 3rd and 2nd, haha

Both give you points

[timid solstice]

hunters tournament win lets gooooooooooooooooo!

[tulip matrix]

third time's the charm

[timid solstice]

[sharp flame]

My first and only 😅

[timid solstice]

Diamonds clues

[dense hound]

everytime cashout death timer gets reduced, it's less time to find stuff with spectator cam

[fallen jasper]

Do we know what weapons have unique inspection animations?

The osthyvel and switchblade do, does the cardboard sniper have one?

[agile wadi]

What's the inspection button

[turbid geyser]

i like it lol didnt even notice it when playing the game is so loud, that end part was skill issue

[fallen jasper]

For me it's mouse...4? Might be M5

[north crag]

It's mouse 4 for me

[solar glade]

don't think the Cardboard Sniper does

[fallen jasper]

My world is over

:(

[sharp flame]

love this change

(the defibrillator one haha)

[dense hound]

^

[rigid nest]

Yeah defib was kinda broken before haha

[rigid nest]

This didn’t age well

[sharp flame]

yeah..

gonna need to grind a bit more..

can I ask if there is now a Diamond league permanent reward?

nevermind

[tulip matrix]

bruh

[rigid nest]

Ahhhhhhhhh! That’s like 3700 FP in 3 days!

[sharp flame]

yeah I've given up

why can't they make it 2k or something 😭

[rigid nest]

Fr

Currently diamond is like top 250

[sharp flame]

gah, I guess I will miss it now and forever..

😭

I really was satisfied that I got all the permanent rewards

and now, except for one..

[marsh marsh]

Meh I just dropped playing tournaments with all those cheaters

[meager cypress]

Heya guys

[sharp flame]

haven't run into any.. in a while

[south granite]

This is a sad day 😔

Beta extension pls 😂

[prime basin]

diamond reward is literally gonna be the rarest item in history

I've been playing the game for 130 hours and I don't have it

[dense hound]

diamond sword

❔

[prime basin]

hahahahahaha

[stuck basin]

Had this weird thing pop up on the bottom right

Discovery are the ones behind making the weapons in the game?

I thought it had something to do with that because I never seen these codes on the bottom before

Also this is your first time speaking here I don't want to hear it dude

Rude ass

cope

[tulip matrix]

THE FINALS can also be referred to as Project Discovery

[slender lodge]

is this some reference? 89543

on the high-noon skin for the rev

[sharp flame]

the internal name of THE FINALS at Embark is 'discovery' or 'project discovery'

[sharp flame]

only the high-noon skin?

[slender lodge]

i didnt check ;_;

but i know the other custom skins dont have em

[sharp flame]

just thought it was slightly interesting that these messages both have 5 words..

[sharp flame]

👍

[fallen jasper]

ikr

[fallen jasper]

what is the reward any picture of it D:

[sharp flame]

nobody knows..

they will reveal it afterwards

YESS

pretty expensive though..

[rose blade]

worth it for tama

[pliant stag]

So cute!

[tulip matrix]

@sharp flame A better look at the "egg-shaped" watch

[tulip matrix]

it's either 5:12 or 5:46 lol

[wanton sundial]

It looks to me like the arrow at 12 past is the seconds arrow.

[tulip matrix]

Ye I think you are right

it has a bit of a "tail"

[wanton sundial]

Yup! So it's 5:46:12

[sharp flame]

8:01:27 I think?!

the 12 is oriented on the left

if you look at it in relation to the 'notch' on other watches

[tulip matrix]

haha you are right

[sharp flame]

anyone wanna try searching for WRs this weekend?

[sage bramble]

Does it mean anything to you hunters? It's on the Sawed-off

[sharp flame]

it's on the billboards and posters too.. seems to be a new motto, like Reach.The.Finals

[sage bramble]

oh I've never seen it on the billboards xd

[burnt flame]

lol

[barren wren]

Damn! I wish i coulda spotted that one out!

[burnt flame]

fr

[stuck basin]

I really do think this is a good second motto

[fallen jasper]

I imagine this has to be a reference to something but I have no clue what a collectible watermelon has to do with anything.

[stuck basin]

thats a fucked looking gourd

[sharp flame]

WASHINGTONIA
...
PALMIER EVENTAIL
CALIFORNIE ARECACAE

Washingtonia is a genus of palms, palmier eventail means 'fan-palm'

Washingtonia is in the Arecacae family

it's not written there in real life

this is what it looks like in concept art

[sharp flame]

just found it interesting cause the Washingtonia genus was coined (hehe) in 1879..

[obtuse acorn]

ah yes laughing at coin references i love it here :)

[sharp flame]

it's also the only named plant

in the game

[obtuse acorn]

WAIT LMAO EMBARK NAMED A PLANT????

[floral axle]

I'm sad the plant is not named Kyne

[obtuse acorn]

agree it should have been named after a mod :(

anyway-

i really want to yk- contribute to the easter eggs quest but i have NO idea where to begin... is there more specific stuff i should be looking out for?

[sharp flame]

nono

it's not named by embark hahaha

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washingtonia_filifera

Washingtonia Filifera (californian fan palm) - Arecaceae

is a real thing

[obtuse acorn]

aww sad it would have been so fun :,)

[vital cove]

Anyone see a conspicuously placed baby bottle somewhere yet

[timid solstice]

on the Seoul map

[sharp flame]

that literal white rabbit symbol

[obtuse acorn]

OOOOO okayy :D

does it move around the map or is it fixed at one place?

not really an easter egg thats more lore-related but :D

[dense hound]

meatspace

[sharp flame]

that one is fixed

the others probably are too

we just have to find them

[obtuse acorn]

Oooo okiii

[sharp flame]

There are 5 in Seoul, including that one

[obtuse acorn]

Ooooo alright :DD

[tulip matrix]

I'm guessing Meatspace is referring to the time spent in the real world in our meaty bodies

That is silly

I like it

Or maybe 75 years into the future humanity exists as a giant united brain-meat cube in space like the Borg but gross

[obtuse acorn]

Its supposed to be metaspace i believe but hdjsisn

[blazing prairie]

lmao

[tulip matrix]

too late

[obtuse acorn]

XDD

[tulip matrix]

The canon has been set

[obtuse acorn]

fuck the metaspace its meatspace now

[blazing prairie]

i like meatspace more

[tulip matrix]

I am in Meatspace and it's uncomfortable

[obtuse acorn]

XDDDD

[blazing prairie]

😭

[tulip matrix]

Can't wait to get home and upload my consciousness into THE FINALS

[obtuse acorn]

But I really wonder whats the difference between meatspace and virtual world

Virtual world is the game itself i believe but whats the meatspace

[blazing prairie]

meat·space
/ˈmētˌspās/
nounINFORMAL
the physical world, as opposed to cyberspace or a virtual environment.

[obtuse acorn]

mmmmm yeah

was that a /j or a /srs hfjdjdj

[blazing prairie]

thats the real definition

lmao

google it

i copied and pasted that from google

[obtuse acorn]

Ooooooo okii

:D

[tulip matrix]

HA
CANON

[obtuse acorn]

YES

MEATSPACE IS CANON.

[blazing prairie]

LOL

[sharp flame]

nono it's meatspace

it's supposed to be absurd haha

hmm.. makes sense, if everyone is used to living in the virtual world, right?

they'd have a slang term for the outside world

also they use the term 'Meatspace' in many places

it's on one of the cosmetic descriptions iirc

I wanna see a commentator mention it 👀

[tulip matrix]

Brain is just metameat

[sharp flame]

I've had enough of the game at this point and am just looking for rabbits

honestly I think it's just TF fatigue, playing it every day for 13 days 🤣

[obtuse acorn]

NO WAYY its actually canon??? :0\

[sharp flame]

Haha yeah, I think it's a pretty funny name

[obtuse acorn]

i fucking love embark omg 🥹🥹

[warped crane]

Maybe the Blue Shoes from the advertising on the maps are the Diamond Beta Reward? 🤔

[sharp flame]

the iseul-t shoes?

[deep nebula]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1009830578545246213/1082049730621747280/7ddq1r.gif

got a screen shot

[sharp flame]

Yep yep the Iseul-t ones

[fresh plover]

tru

haven't found any easters or eggs yet

[tulip matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/bunny-rabbit-sleep-tired-nap-gif-21010391

[sonic sequoia]

has anyone actually seen an easter egg

[sonic sequoia]

thank you kyne

[fallen jasper]

They added the option for custom backgrounds in Padlet...

Thoughts?

[sharp flame]

Image size requirements? I'd be happy to try cook something up..

looks awesome already

[fallen jasper]

You can upload whatever you want

[sharp flame]

hehe I see

[fallen jasper]

I uploaded a 10x10 square of THE FINALS red and it looked good

But it was a bit too red lol

[sharp flame]

Hehe these might work

[fallen jasper]

#🔴┇media-chat right?

I've been a bit out of it keeping up with everything

Oh it's in fanart isn't it

[sharp flame]

Yep yep

[fallen jasper]

There is a minor size requirement

It doesn't like garfield

[sharp flame]

😭

OH

also

insane how this is happening

but Mirrors Edge is getting delisted

it's a SINGLE PLAYER game and you won't be able to purchase it anywhere online anymore 😭😭😭

and that's happening in 37 days

[fallen jasper]

I like the red mist background

I am in the middle of cataloging all of the Closed Beta things

[sharp flame]

Thank god for the extra day then

[fallen jasper]

Forgot about the Brand Guide

[proud minnow]

😭

[sharp flame]

It's terrible.. all that awesome work.. 🥲

There really is no way for people to experience that game anymore..

[dense hound]

WHAT why??

[sharp flame]

Ask EA...

[fallen jasper]

I like how they couldn't bother announcing it by itself so it's a footnote in the Battlefield Sunsettings

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/legacy-sunset

[dense hound]

what online features could mirror's edge possibly have that it would be necessary to delist the whole game? 💀 that's so dumb

[fallen jasper]

I believe Mirrors Edge has timetrial type things?

I think EA wants people to buy the sequel so it doesn't look like it's as much as a failure

On another note the Mirrors Edge collection is on sale for $10

[sharp flame]

A leaderboard for the time trials 💀💀

[mortal ivy]

Yep, they just killed the time trial leaderboards when I picked it up again last fall

And hi 👋 Are there any active ee hunting going on, or just looking around?

[dense hound]

they edited the website and it no longer mentions mirror's edge anymore

[sharp flame]

Wait WHAT

[sharp flame]

Looking for 4 white Rabbits hidden on Seoul

NO WAY Mirror's Edge is no longer in the announcement!!

idk if it was just the general public pressure or if some higher power ( 🙏🕯️ ) willed otherwise

but it does seem like they.. reversed that decision?

an accident 💀 now that's some BS

@proud minnow sorry for scaring you like that 😭

[solar glade]

that's one hell of a "typo"

[mortal ivy]

Haha wow, why would they ever make mirrors edge not purchasable?!?! I thought you people were discussing them offing the leaderboard servers, not literally removing the games

[mortal ivy]

oh, have we found one or more yet?

[sharp flame]

we've found 1 of 5

[sharp flame]

what a dumb decision and shame on them for thinking that was the right way to go 😒

[mortal ivy]

Yeah, totally. There's thousands of articles stating it now, but the official press release has been updated to only talk about battlefield

I got seoul now, lets hope i can find a rabbit (not sure what or where to look though) 🤞

[proud minnow]

phew... I just want to play that game (at least) one last time... ._.

[sharp flame]

You should check out where we found the first one (most visible in sunny weather) on the i on the Vein sign on the far side of the VEIN building

for reference

[sharp flame]

haha worst case you can surely pull out a Dev copy you have stored somewhere.. 👀

kidding kidding... unless.. 🤨 ?

[mortal ivy]

Well, if you had it bought it would have been fine

My first mirrors edge copy for 360, that I bought on the release dated, was sadly lost to the 360s laser reader

It got tilted a bit while playing and it burned the cd 😅

I feel so dirty, I just won the QP even though I spent everything but the last 30secs looking for some rabbit

[sharp flame]

I really think this is really similar to Seoul's map

in terms of aesthetic

I love them both

[mortal ivy]

Yeah, i love mirrors edge

One of the few games I've been truly obsessed with, played it nonstop for months, just perfecting my times haha

[slender lodge]

Oh a first glance on my phone i legit thought it was Seoul

[mortal ivy]

Am I blind? I can't see any rabbit on this image

[latent peak]

It took me a while to find it too, it's behind the building

[sharp flame]

You gotta be closer to the I

It's on the I

[mortal ivy]

Yeah, i found another picture someone posted previously

[sharp flame]

I promise it's there

[mortal ivy]

How can you even spot it, without being dead? 🤔

Which is hard enough, given you need a full team wipe and then only a limited amount of time to fly around haha

[dense hound]

you can spot it quite easily with grapple hook, and you are able to stand on the sign

[mortal ivy]

Oh, I tried standing on the edge below it and couldn't and was pretty certain that I clipped through the sign, but I might just be remembering incorrectly

[slender lodge]

You can also try using goo grenades to make a platform there

[mortal ivy]

smort

[fallen jasper]

I wonder how many copies of Mirrors Edge they sold in the couple of hours before they fixed it

I might've contributed to that

[sharp flame]

lmao that would be a horrific way to trick people into buying the game

[fallen jasper]

I have been meaning to pick up both of the games

[neon stream]

I can't think of any game company that doesn't use FOMO to some extent...some in more horrific ways than others...but yeah... EA is EA...
As players we have to be aware that FOMO is a thing, and not fall for those things...I guess... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[sour tree]

:o

[sharp flame]

can't really 'fall' for an official statement saying the game will be delisted soon

[fallen jasper]

Yeah

[sharp flame]

'we have no plans to remove Mirror's Edge from digital stores'

y'all wrote out an entire paragraph detailing how you were sorry to see it leave 😭

[fallen jasper]

It wasn't even like a copy paste paragraph it was literally specifically tailored for the game

[sour tree]

lol

some people just read what they want to read sometimes

and there's plenty of misinformation on the web too so

[neon stream]

Yeah, I didn't mean that as an answer to Kyne, since he wanted to buy it anyway. But I'm sure there are some that bought it "just in case", and won't end up playing it. The statement was meant as a general comment on FOMO 😛

[sharp flame]

hehe I suppose it's sorta a good thing

everyone should have the experience of playing Mirror's Edge

💪

[sour tree]

I have never played it myself. A dude in my class in uni was always talking about it

[sharp flame]

for good reason 😂

[fallen jasper]

I want to know how that mistake happened because it definitely got passed through legal first.

[neon stream]

Yeah, it's a great game. I only recently found out Rob was the art director or something like that on it, I thought that was cool

[sharp flame]

the mistake is obviously the decision to delist it

[fallen jasper]

Well yeah

[sharp flame]

technically what they say is true

they currently have no plans to delist it

and that post was an error

[fallen jasper]

I am incredibly sad that 1943 is going

I grew up playing it

[sharp flame]

I really don't understand how big an expense to them it is to keep it up on digital stores?

does it cost anything? at all? assuming all the online content is deactivated

[fallen jasper]

I imagine they can't just host the servers on newer hardware because whatever network infrastructure they're using and the game requires can't be updated.

[neon stream]

I think studios sometimes delist offline games because of licensing issues

(Guessing 😂 )

[sharp flame]

well the very fact that Mirror's Edge can stay up kinda means it always coulda stayed up

right?

I really do wonder if now the game will rise in sales

[fallen jasper]

Me buying mirrors edge because Rob was devastated it was getting delisted:

[timid solstice]

@tulip matrix did you stop before getting diamond?

[tulip matrix]

I was 100 FP away from diamond

and then had five consecutive scuffed matches

ruined my chance at making it

nothing I can do about this unfortunately

[timid solstice]

No way!

Perhaps you can get on eu servers?

[tulip matrix]

Is it still going for them?

I thought the FP gain was over for everyone now

[timid solstice]

Apparently it is

#game-announcements says 9 hours left

[fallen jasper]

It's just contracts not counting anymore you should still be gaining FP from matches

[short sonnet]

u still got a few hour

[mortal ivy]

Hi and good morning!

I had a semi revelation just recently, about the white rabbits

They must be placed on letters around the map, right? So that they will spell something out

It can't just randomly be placed on a wall, because that wouldn't mean anything (?)

[sharp flame]

Well that's assuming they spell out something, hehe

I've looked at plenty of signs already, hope you get lucky 🙏🙏

[sharp flame]

okay

Goodbye White Rabbits... for now...

[hidden nacelle]

now back to the easter egg

[latent peak]

was there always a countdown here ?
https://www.reachthefinals.com/t1-d

Can't wait to start

[hidden nacelle]

this is new!

[latent peak]

Neat!

[fringe trench]

image files called THE_FINALS_OSPUZE_AD_bonus_candy_02.jpg

[proud minnow]

They will be waiting for you, I promise.!

[mortal ivy]

No idea, but to answer @proud minnow's question on the page: Everyone needs water 😎

[unique oracle]

alright CTF time! will come back with updates on this

[formal spruce]

What do you think happens when the time runs out

[glad lodge]

The oldest message with this link: https://www.reachthefinals.com/t1-d

Was from Dec 13th 2022

Idk where people got this link from and what it is

[vital cove]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2

the easter egg hunt

[latent peak]

We're probably getting a new picture to start the hunt again

[vital cove]

check the pins in this channel to get an idea for what we've been doing over the past 6 months 🙂

[hidden nacelle]

the hunt resumes

[sharp flame]

Can't wait!

Let's break our record for how long a tier lasts 💪💪

[vital cove]

quite the optimist, aren't we

[sharp flame]

😭

[indigo chasm]

anyone know what that means? probably has nothing to do with the easter hunt. more like a memoriam or something? https://www.embark-studios.com/ldh

[unique oracle]

one thing i realise is that all of their image are inside one hosted site, which is https://images.squarespace-cdn.com

[indigo chasm]

yeah but you need a hash to access them, nothing to get there

[unique oracle]

this is the main image from what I extracted https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dc7ac5f8d9650eee1d12c4/4a305a46-fcf7-44ca-9978-866aa8265ca1/legendsdiehard.png?format=300w

[unique oracle]

yea gobuster doesnt work with it so far

[indigo chasm]

ah, kali enjoyer

[woven rain]

use arch 😎
(i use arch btw)

[unkempt crypt]

“Who needs water?”… everyone.. the answer to 1D is EVERYONE

[wanton sundial]

Not if you have ospuze

[unkempt crypt]

Also needs water

[unique oracle]

what are the others ties (T1-E and above) needing passwords?

are they out of bounds at the moment?

[fallen jasper]

uh... gonna be honest but i feel like these are little teases for whats to come in the battle pass

[proud minnow]

GREAT find, BUT this has nothing to do with the EE-hunt… ._.

[indigo chasm]

damn, I thought so. do you mind telling us more on it though? :P

[proud minnow]

Time will tell… ._.

[zenith crown]

👀

[sharp flame]

How the hell did you find this 😭😭😭

[indigo chasm]

sitemap.xml

[sharp flame]

okay just cause for the EE hunt, finding URLs is done by clues and kinda spoiled by metatools

[indigo chasm]

ohh

i didn't know

just were skimming through the pages

[slender lodge]

It's all good we've all made the mistake in the beginning 🤣

[indigo chasm]

i thought that would be a part of it?

[sharp flame]

The URLS are

but they are supposed to be hidden

and the URL is sorta a 'passcode'/answer

[indigo chasm]

ah, i get it

[sharp flame]

like reachthefinals.com/burrw

which you figure out by removing the O from burrow

(it makes sense trust me 🤣)

[indigo chasm]

[sharp flame]

Looking at all the URLs for that site would be the equivalent of running bruteforce code on the Easter Egg password box

hahaha

[indigo chasm]

yeah nah of course that's not meaningful

[sharp flame]

now maybe we might've taken months to solve it.. 😂 but I think it was really worth it

[slender lodge]

Bgruteforce

[simple stream]

This sounds like a good time to beg the devs for a 1/500 chance for the character to take off their shoes in the win screen

[neon stream]

And do a shoey! 😂

https://tenor.com/view/daniel-ricciardo-honey-badger-dr3-shoey-f1-gif-12688182

I don't know what makes you think that.! 😛

[simple stream]

We need the finals ost

[red gull]

Tell them to post the video without the text please 🙏🏽

[fallen jasper]

I'm sure rob didn't write it.!

[sharp flame]

hehehe I don't believe you.!

[fallen jasper]

Wonder what's gonna happen on <t:1679943360:F>

[slender lodge]

Very random date

Where's that fromm?!

Ohhhh

It wasn't showing up on mobile

[sour tree]

too random

[slender lodge]

Ahhh

[sour tree]

👀

[slender lodge]

Finals ost release?

Man is jam to it all day

[sour tree]

That'd be nice

[pliant stag]

lmaoo yikes

[fallen jasper]

How do we want to work on the Wiki btw?

I've got all of the weapons and gadgets here if we wanna make pages about the gadgets and whatnot.

I'm gonna work on it a bit, someone will probably need to come and fresh it up a little

[solar glade]

i’m only formatting the Sponsors section for now as its the one carrying the lore atm

but i can help with the rest later

[hollow stirrup]

You could set up items by type (weapon/equipment/gadget) that way sorting by melee weapons can happen, grenades can be in a single group with a table showing which classes have which grenades, builds probably just need a single page for each of them. I think there could also be some game tips pages, highlighting certain mechanics (the cashout box can be thrown into the cashout machine, crouching while jumping over a small barrier will make you slide across the top of the barrier and get a speed boost, if you hold down the ping button a radial menu will appear to select more specific messages, etc.)

[fallen jasper]

Ngl I'm like, basically no knowledge of how to work the wiki I'm just doing some baseline things people can change in the future

[hollow stirrup]

No worries! Thanks for your work!

[tall scroll]

there's some hidden text to the right, looks like a date

windows default photo editor software sucks

"23:03:27" but there's more text to the left

im no photo editor, someone else should use photoshop to see this text

lmao honestly it might just say "the finals" and the date we already know

ugh. the fact that it only says nexon here makes me think this is some nft sh*t... i hope to god im wrong

[rose blade]

only thing nexon is involved in here is with their funding

they're not involved with operations and stuff afaik

[tall scroll]

welll nexon does own embark studios, so they can be involved with whatever they want

[rose blade]

well that's true

[hidden nacelle]

they are the majority shareholder of embark

[slender lodge]

presumably yeah

who knows what'll happen in the future

[rose blade]

hopefully it stays that way

[slender lodge]

tru,

[rose blade]

like how tencent isnt involved with riot's operational decisions etc. (presumably as well)

i just want some the finals merch

[tall scroll]

fr bruh

[hidden nacelle]

some people have got a tshirt

just from being active in the discord i think

[rose blade]

i need some tshirts too

[hollow stirrup]

Same, my gf mentioned my lack of cool socks and some balling FINALS socks would be off the chain

[thick hound]

Knit some socks

[timid solstice]

save that interest in hunting for the 27th !

[fallen jasper]

Hello Eggtectives!

It has been a couple of weeks and we have both new, and old, hunters jumping back into the hunt. We appreciate everyone who is interested in the hunt and wants to participate. However, we think it would be good to refresh everyone on what is acceptable hunting etiquette!

• Trying to brute force your way into password-protected sites is not allowed as it can completely ruin the hunt for everyone involved.
• In addition, using chat programs such as Chat-GPT or Bard to figure out connections, passwords, decoding, etc. is not allowed.
• The hunt is not about trying to bypass website security. Easter eggs might be hidden in images and on websites, but they are usually easily viewable. Do not try to change content on any websites.
• No posting of Easter Egg related info that has come from data mining of THE FINALS, or from THE FINALS websites.

Good Luck, and good hunting!

[tall scroll]

god dammit lol

[sharp flame]

3 days and 19 hours..

[glad lodge]

Makes me wonder whether anyone did any of these three things... Wild!

[tall scroll]

i think its just cuz a LOT of the people in this channel are basically solely using kali linux tools to figure these out, when it ain't that deep

[glad lodge]

oh... i forget people do that stuff, am just a basic mac os user lol

[strange silo]

so when will the game be out

[summer zinc]

2023

[tall scroll]

i mean to be fair, most people with a lot of computer knowledge and careers in IT and cybersecurity use macs if not linux! only real reason to use windows is gaming 🤷‍♂️

[tall scroll]

he solved the puzzle!

[floral axle]

Lets keep the chat clean folk please

[sharp flame]

@fallen jasper I just wanted to be sure.. is this supposed to be seen/shared or no?

[sharp flame]

Also that's awesome haha

[fallen jasper]

That's fine. Just don't change any of the code in it to make it show you what it's supposed to.

[tulip matrix]

lol now I want to see more of Rob's commenting

[fallen jasper]

It's more the, changing the time on the inspect element to make it display the message that's the issue.

[sharp flame]

oh! okay nice

[fallen jasper]

I suspect Rob wouldn't be adding in comments that don't really help actually read the code if he didn't expect we'd look at it lol

[tulip matrix]

//stop it... get some help...

[sharp flame]

wait

1337

🤦‍♂️

1337 and 137 are...

dangerously close

I think it's possible Rob had that in mind when he was cooking this answer up..

[tulip matrix]

this is too elite for my understanding

[sharp flame]

yess yess.. just thinking that it could be connected to the clue web.. maybe?

then again it appeared in ARC trailer

[stuck basin]

That'd be hilarious

[sharp flame]

so maybe they just like it

maybe it's just an easter egg for easter egg's sake

[stuck basin]

I mean it is a old gamer joke so I wouldn't be all that surprised

Spartan 1337 my beloved

[sharp flame]

hehehe I guess that makes me Luigi (charlie day reference)

[drifting pilot]

so does anybody know what brand the soda can is in the finals

[sharp flame]

[drifting pilot]

what does that mean tho.

[sharp flame]

sorry it's called 'OSPUZE' (the brand name)

[drifting pilot]

do u think there will be lore around the brand

[sharp flame]

oh totally

it already has a few tidbits

[drifting pilot]

like maybe they are responsible for hosting the finals tourneys

[sharp flame]

personally I think it is this 'Discovery Corp' which some of the weapons are branded by...

[drifting pilot]

also what time period does this take place. they have simulation tech but require coins to respawn. kinda like a arcade machine

[slender lodge]

75years in the future

[sharp flame]

The whole Finals Game takes place in VR (so like ready player one). The 'real world' they call the Meatspace. It takes place 75 years in the future

[stuck basin]

Yeah it's discovery hosting lol

[slender lodge]

i guess history repeats itself and now the biggest gameshow in the world has a 100+year old theme which is cool asf

[sharp flame]

guys guys

total nerd thing here

[stuck basin]

Opoozee or whatever are sponsors

[sharp flame]

but I'm gonna catch the countdown

as it goes past Pi

[fallen jasper]

The first images of seoul were hidden in the Alpha trailer, right?

[sharp flame]

3d 14h 15m 9s

[slender lodge]

:0

observe the console at that time i guess

[solar glade]

shamless plug here, i've done several videos on THE FINALS lore

[sharp flame]

haha wasn't even thinking of that

[drifting pilot]

but is the coin sound effect a game mechanic thing or lore to the games universe.

[sharp flame]

but just wanted a screenshot

[fallen jasper]

Go watch SPEAR

[slender lodge]

oh haha

[fallen jasper]

Or I'll get the spear out

[stuck basin]

Lmaoo

If there is something going on in three days that would be hella luck

[solar glade]

but also, i did plug some of the Sponsors lore into the Wiki as well

[stuck basin]

I'm off then

[sharp flame]

it's not self-promo, it's simply directing people to a resource made by yourself 💪

[solar glade]

but still, watch the videos hehe. anyway EGGS

[stuck basin]

TRUE

[floral axle]

t r u e and r e a l

[stuck basin]

Anyway we need a message made up of nothing but prime numbers still

And that could still be easily hidden behind something

[sharp flame]

gosh I can't believe the FINALS takes place in 1948.. crazy

[slender lodge]

say one more word and ima blast u to the future

[neon stream]

I don't usually buy game skins, but if there's a mate skin, I'm buying it 😂

[drifting pilot]

damn u. u peaked my interest

[sharp flame]

I dare you to tell me how many times the timer will be all prime numbers

[stuck basin]

Lmaoo

[stuck basin]

I'll pass

[tulip matrix]

that's all i aim for!

[drifting pilot]

i wish i had the talking skills u do. best of luck on more subs. maybe one day ill be up there myself

[neon stream]

I like infusions in general 😂

But 🧉 has a social and sharing aspect that can't be matched by any of the other infusion

[solar glade]

all about practice and mastering your own style - same to you!

-- also sorry for derailing the convo

[neon stream]

Yeah, this is the mate 🧉 channel , stop talking about anything else /s

But everyone has an individual cup, there's no sharing 😭

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/JoyfulThinArgali-size_restricted.gif

With mate you just share with anyone 😂

[sharp flame]

okay okay EE

[neon stream]

https://tenor.com/view/chimavara-capivara-capibara-mate-chimarrão-gif-20606238

[sharp flame]

the weapon description for the default skin + Discovery Corp written on the gun is what makes me think they make everything

[neon stream]

gets banned for too much mate content

[sharp flame]

also... it's talking in first person

so..

all the cosmetics are in-lore

as cosmetic items

and also, those descriptions are by Discovery Corp

pretty interesting.. from a lore standpoint

but yeah you guys talk about mate

don't stop .!

[neon stream]

https://tenor.com/view/dicapio-mate-great-gatsby-mate-mate-gif-22416051

[solar glade]

i agree

[sharp flame]

I mean it could even be that the entire game UI is in-game

so like it's what the VR contestants are seeing too

including the Shop and BattlePasses

haha

[solar glade]

it should work both ways, imo

double down on it would be perfect for the game

[neon stream]

Yeah, that's probably why it's called the backstage 🤔

We might get a physical one at some point

[sharp flame]

yo!

that would be sick

actually

a physical changing room

[neon stream]

Like a social hub

[sharp flame]

a physical shop

[neon stream]

Yeah

[sharp flame]

a physical entrance to the shooting range

I'm sure they've thought of it....

[solar glade]

backstage for esports league

[sharp flame]

haha imagine

[neon stream]

"You haven't seen anything yet" - SR

[sharp flame]

this is what gives me hope

Embark can really change up the genres in any way

[neon stream]

More like the industry 😅

[neon stream]

As long as they don't mention the "...verse" word, I'm good 😂

[sharp flame]

they would need a lot more content for that..

[drifting pilot]

what is the timer on the gun for

[sharp flame]

not exactly sure.. it appears on most-if-not-all The Finals media and every EE image. It seems to be a direct connection to the 00 in this last tier

[drifting pilot]

wouldve been a good EE to have a date on it which would then reveal big news

[solar glade]

timer is part of the visual identity of RTF as well

[sharp flame]

my opinion on the m-word is that the idea is not a bad thing. It is in fact such a good thing that it is simply a buzzword and anyone who claims to have it just wants people to invest because of how good it sounds. in reality nobody has the resources to do that yet

[neon stream]

I always assumed it was the timer reaching the round's end, the "final" moment, I guess

[sharp flame]

(except maybe Epic.. or Facebook..)

if it does happen I do think it will be in gaming first

gaming is the industry closest to the '-verse' stuff

it's why Facebook rn is having a hard time getting people to do office work and productivity hours in AR/VR

the target market simply aren't used to AR/VR

and also the Web3/NFT stuff

as soon as you introduce money into the equation people will squeeze it out of any unsuspecting believer

[solar glade]

[sharp flame]

people developing nft/crypto stuff rn are doing it for money

not passion, or creativity, or any real desire to connect the world

this is sorta a roundabout way of saying that

if Embark were ever to try anything in that space (whether with their Creative Playground or anything else) with any new technology, I'm sure they'll focus on doing it right than doing it with financial drive

.. I hope

anyway I was also just interested in this

because of the announcement of the game Everywhere

https://www.ign.com/articles/everywhere-developer-confirms-it-will-not-use-blockchain-or-nfts

I think TF also has the same reasons to not use any of that tech for now

seems pretty straightforward a reason

will finish talking now 😂 🙏

[neon stream]

I guess we can start asking "When beta?" again 🤔

@prisma stump MOD, WHEN BETA? 😇

[sharp flame]

nono I think it's release next...

[neon stream]

sorry, mb

@prisma stump MOD, WHEN RELEASE? 😂

[sharp flame]

'while we prepare the arena for a new season'

so presumably 1

unless they mean 0 again 😭

[neon stream]

We'll get 00

https://tenor.com/view/vietnamflashback-gif-7780922

[sharp flame]

season 00

season 👀

[timid solstice]

pretty sure Tim Sweeney said building support for a billion people in their MV yesterday

[tulip matrix]

are you playing on a billboard?

[neon stream]

Yeah, and with the season 00 we get 00 flour, so we can prepare pizza

[sharp flame]

yeah now imagine you can walk down from the backstage directly into this area..

[slender lodge]

we're losing fish again

[slender lodge]

oh yeha, didn't think about that

[sharp flame]

completing daily challenges by blowing up the shop 😂

hehe imagine being able to blow up the whole backstage structure and shops and offices/facilities

and then pressing a button to restore everything

[tulip matrix]

I love pizza

[neon stream]

Idem!

[slender lodge]

so which number code is for pineapple so i can put that on pizza

[tulip matrix]

0K

cause it looka like a pineapple

[sharp flame]

YES

got it

https://tenor.com/view/pi-gif-11371535

[slender lodge]

it happened

[sharp flame]

it was always gonna

just a question of if we were gonna watch it happen..

[slender lodge]

[unkempt crypt]

I do not see how Creative Playgrounds would fit that bill.. but who am i

[sharp flame]

creative playground is comprised of worlds and objects and experiences. there are many types of projects on the web3 and nft market which offer that but monetize it

[unkempt crypt]

yeah I get it, but I don't think its gonna be the direction for that game (thankfully)

[sharp flame]

first thing that comes to mind is https://www.sandbox.game/en/ or similar projects, but yeah obviously Embark are not the type to go for this stuff

[unkempt crypt]

they might monetize player cosmetics?

but I don't think NFT level stuff.. the game is clearly aimed to be family friendly

[spice belfry]

YEAH who ever said NFTs are on crack

[sharp flame]

so no one 😭

[spice belfry]

where did NFTs come from 💀

[sharp flame]

just talking about the general metaverse/nft/web3 stuff

and if that is a direction Embark would ever take

they are definitely into research and using new technologies to break ground even faster

so I do expect that they will (or already have) consider exploring AI at some point too

they already have delved into it for Creative Playground (semantic recognition) and training AI to walk using machine learning

[spice belfry]

AI made cosmetics, maps, weapons, hell let AI balance all the weapons and gear

[sharp flame]

I mean creativity wise it will totally always be humans coming up with stuff

but for number crunching and analysis it's something AI will totally be thrown in for

[spice belfry]

i mean humans made AI so technically we created it

[sharp flame]

it's more the dataset

we have to give it enough cosmetics for it to know what a cosmetic is

and train it to know what a good cosmetic is

[spice belfry]

true true.

[sharp flame]

and ofcourse the dataset will be 100% human generated (and so you could say it's 'sapping' ideas from humans, but so do all humans)

[spice belfry]

wait couldn't you make a AI to do all the data ?

[sharp flame]

wdym 'do' the data

[spice belfry]

like all the numbers n stuff u said

[sharp flame]

well yeah

I think you probably can

[spice belfry]

o

[sharp flame]

but of course monetization is a completely different question. is not related to AI/research

NFT stuff is so obviously out of the question, so is metaverse stuff

it's just similar in 'theme'

(the game is set in a VR metaverse)

3D 13H 51M 30S

[spice belfry]

oh yeah true like ready player 1

Edit 2:
Also octopus seen again at 0:13 & 0:15

[spice belfry]

lmao, also gotta rewatch that movie now

[sharp flame]

it's an awesome film

[spice belfry]

it really is, saw it in IMAX was awesome

[sharp flame]

loved the vibe of that setting

it's what introduced a lot of people to the idea of a 'metaverse'

probably half the reason why people are so into the idea today 🤣

[spice belfry]

nah i feel like sword art online was kinda the first introduction

[sharp flame]

cause they saw what it could be

[spice belfry]

besides the dying part

[timid solstice]

did you see this? https://venturebeat.com/games/nexon-heads-into-nfts-with-maplestory-universe-and-polygon-deal/

[sharp flame]

yeah, and I was thinking about also the fact that once UE5/6 introduces metaverse 'functionality' (they say they will start with fortnite), how accessible it would be to games which use UE5 already

[spice belfry]

they really are beating a dead horse with maple story

[sharp flame]

a dead horse that decomposes into more money every time you beat it...

[spice belfry]

true infinite money glitch

[sharp flame]

oh nah if we're talking metaverse it dates further back

[spice belfry]

tron?

[sharp flame]

I don't think SAO is quite accurate to a 'metaverse' tbf

it's one game/experience

right?

[spice belfry]

yeah it is

you die you perma die irl

hence the "kinda"

SAO is goated nonetheless

[sharp flame]

nono but like it's not a conglomeration of different games/experiences which you can move between

[spice belfry]

OH

yeah

[sharp flame]

but it did introduce 'full-dive VR'

[spice belfry]

hmm id say like second life was also a "first meta verse"

but non vr

[sharp flame]

yep yep

but yeah in terms of popular fiction

you could say SAO

[spice belfry]

matrix too right?

[sharp flame]

but in terms of what we imagine nowadays, it's much more like the OASIS from Ready Player One

[sharp flame]

again that's more Fulldive Vr than Metaverse

[spice belfry]

yeah, but there's many "games" to do tho

imo

[sharp flame]

Metaverse is just joining commercial content/shopping/games/social space into a physical virtual space

[spice belfry]

ahhh ok

[sharp flame]

in the Matrix??

[spice belfry]

imo yeah but my games r dif from urs

[sharp flame]

that's not a game that's literally a simulation of regular dull life to trick humans into thinking they are not in harvesting pods 😭

unless you define games different

[sharp flame]

(also I think an unspoken requirement is that people have gotta be aware they're there)

[spice belfry]

(good point didnt think abt that)

[sharp flame]

oh! also yeah The Matrix is totally a point of reference for The Finals virtualworld stuff. since, it appears quite prominently in this Tier of the Easter Egg hunt

[sharp flame]

Personally how I'd define metaverse is more a place you can go in and out of freely, a place you 'physically' navigate to access different games/shops/media/social spaces in the same session. And you as an avatar can be the same in each experience, with probably the same currencies shared between projects etc.

[spice belfry]

so meta verse wise would you be your own char? or would you be able to make your self like a 8 foot Orc?

[sharp flame]

depends on what the managers decide lol

[sharp flame]

I mean obviously you can change how you look right

you can look like yourself when talking to coworkers lol

and then become the big orc when gaming

[spice belfry]

valid.

so when do you think the "meta verse" will be an actual thing and not a fb gimmick?

[sharp flame]

within the next few years

(not the one in movies)

barebones

[spice belfry]

tbh i dont think it will ever happen sadly. i want to hope it will. But greed will screw it over

theres such things as ideas that go from "too big to die" to "too stupid to succeeded"

[sharp flame]

gah, but greed is the reason things like that are made..

[spice belfry]

and the reasons that things and ideas are ruined

[sharp flame]

imagine a place where everyone is pressured to take part and buy virtual things

[spice belfry]

double edged sword

[sharp flame]

now it might be oppressive and unpopular (facebook)

but it will exist for as many people take part

[spice belfry]

i hope so

i hope a company makes a good "meta verse"

[sharp flame]

I think Epic are realistically the best option here

(that I know of)

[spice belfry]

i can see that

thats super realistic

same for Microsoft

they have the budget and the platform and the audience already

they are being paid by Sony and such over $1billion to get it done so far..

[spice belfry]

and plus they also have a lot of cross overs which mean easier to get IPs

[sharp flame]

didn't even think of that

I don't think it's easier per se

you just have to have money

[sick stone]

I hope someone #(dated) the last EE mentions :S

Or do we just have nothing to go om currently?

[sharp flame]

we are waiting for reachthefinals.com/t1-d

[sick stone]

Mhmyeahyup

[fallen jasper]

#easter-eggs message

[sick stone]

But what about Virgin Mary link? Just the Easter connection?

[spice belfry]

its def eaiser, they already did deals with the people they did cross overs with. so they know the $ they need. instead of wondering and wasting man power on how much money they need and trying to cut deals

[sick stone]

#easter-eggs message u mean?

[sharp flame]

okay did some research, they get to do whatever they want with the character after they get rights

[spice belfry]

sure it might still be expensive but in the long run its eaiser

[spice belfry]

yep exactly. so there for sure its still gonna cost but they know

[sharp flame]

and it would definitely be easier to 're-get' rights for letssay Iron Man if Epic asked again, rather than letssay Facebook, lol

[sick stone]

Because I know VM. 57 connects through White rabbits and Easter eggs to eggs>oviform, but was that it? Did we get any confirmation from Rob that we got it?

[sharp flame]

confirmation about what?

how does VM.57 connect to White Rabbits??

[fallen jasper]

No I didn't mean this, But this is the same vibe. The can is the same as the one in the easter egg picture

[sharp flame]

the thing he linked is the exact same octopus and object that appears in the trailer though?

[fallen jasper]

Yes

[sharp flame]

but why did you say no

[fallen jasper]

Because they are different images. The one the dev posted might of been a hint

Edit:
Nah I'm 99.9% sure i'm wrong with this, I don't think it is.

[sharp flame]

ahh right

yeah yeah Tim I think was just referring to the fact that the can is the same one as in poster put out by Embark

[sick stone]

Didn’t Rob say that whomever could figure out how the secondary meaning of VM. 57 connected to the answer would get a “special reward” after RHB pointed out Virgin Mary 57BC?

From there Virgin Mary is sometimes conflated with depictions of white rabbits AND has a traditional connection to Easter eggs>eggs

[sharp flame]

ah yeahhh. The first meaning is obviously VM.57 = Sputnik..

the second is VM.57 = Virgin Mary

[sick stone]

There is still something to do while we wait

[sharp flame]

he just wants us to connect it but surely not through easter

[sick stone]

My point being it remains unconnected. There is also a promise of loot attached to it. (You know wizards like loot)

[sharp flame]

Mary, mother of Jesus, called "morning star" in the Litany of Loreto

[sick stone]

Ahhhh

Feels good to be back

❤️

[sharp flame]

[sick stone]

Oohhh

[sharp flame]

now if we're lookin at Sirius..

[sick stone]

Venus showed up a lot as well

[sharp flame]

points at Vega (confirmed) directly

[sick stone]

To be fair there were A LOT of orbit connections last tier

[spice belfry]

yep. 100% true asf. plus FB has not the best reputation compared to epic

[sick stone]

Can u help me find where/when this was confirmed?

[sharp flame]

ooh forgot about this

[sharp flame]

oh right Rob message about vega

here

💪

[sick stone]

#easter-eggs message seems like it’s perhaps a diamond clue for some upcoming tier though

So in that case maybe Virgin Mary morning star is not the connection we’re looking for

[timid solstice]

Yes it could be! We got to vega again from the other diamond clue

[sick stone]

Still hard to believe it’s not the Easter egg connection that connects VM 57 to 0vif0rm: https://www.catholicweekly.com.au/catherine-sheehan-mary-magdalene-invent-easter-egg/

[sharp flame]

that seems pretty likely, or just that it's a clue path

which connected backwards a few times

[sick stone]

Hey

Check this out though
