easter-eggs

[cold heart]

😭😭😭😭😭

[dull marsh]

We managed to trigger dolphins in a public game

[cold heart]

@proud minnow @proud minnow

[dull marsh]

Got nothing

[cold heart]

welp im sleeping and crying

[dull marsh]

Same

[gloomy anvil]

"what would a dolphin do"

play with toys = drop arena objects on the tiles?

[cold heart]

uploading the footage here 😦 spend so long doing this
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1C2aWsJGnasSWQcblvj6lsGXCON-gszHe?usp=sharing

12 left on upload

[hard forge]

hey thats me

[tidal forge]

Yeh we need to clarify with @proud minnow to find out if its all the players on the server.

Because we got 12 of us all with 0 lol

[gloomy anvil]

reminder to switch from OCE servers next time you queue

because I know some of you forgot

[hard forge]

dolphins are evil

[tidal forge]

I've already switched back lol

[dull marsh]

I closed the game, I will forget

[tidal forge]

woooah dude... they're MILES better than the damn MONKEYS!!!!

[dull marsh]

At least some of y'all got to see the dolphins! 👍

In a public match!

[tidal forge]

Twice tonight lawl

[dull marsh]

RIGHT ROB?

[hard forge]

I am soo pissed right now.
I am going to keep my mouth shut

[gloomy anvil]

I saw the dolphins for the first time today... and got new wiki screenshots

[exotic cairn]

He didn't explicitly say the dolphin charm is for the dolphins EE on horizon

[tidal forge]

Anyways, Thanks you 11 EE hunters, I apprecaite you!

[tidal forge]

I mean it's true, but i dont see what else it could be?

[gloomy anvil]

I am quite sure we need to do something else besides just activating them

[tidal forge]

If its ... throw plants are each other? we NAILED it.

[fallen jasper]

Interact with them(? Aren't they shy?

[gloomy anvil]

Rob's messages

I will save you a lot of work... you need to play the game to find that, dolphin charm is not triggered in private... ._.

you will understand why if you trigger it... ._.

play the game... what would a dolphin do...

[exotic cairn]

So any dolphin experts? Hopefully not one of NASA's

[dull marsh]

Strongly implied tho

[unkempt dune]

rob talked about the dolphin charm being triggered

as in there's something you need to do in a public game

besides triggering dolphins

[dull marsh]

They're far away

[tidal forge]

They cry? we're all doing that 😂

Is there a hoop on Sys Horrizon? Dolpins jump through hoops?

Like a ring...

[gloomy anvil]

Is this structure supposed to be a fountain?

[cold heart]

this has uploaded btw if you wanna relive wasting 2hrs in 1440p 60fps

(still processing so youll have to wait a bit to watch it without downloading)

[gloomy anvil]

dolphins...

• swim
• echo locate (sonar grenade?)
• play with toys and hoops etc

[dull marsh]

#1201288968562552863 message

Raid: ok well, if we get 7 people together, I seriously want to activate the dolphins
Rob: that would be too simple...

Throw @sharp flame at them??

[tidal forge]

Gimme a nudge next time, was fun regardless 🙂

We get a net? Fish for @sharp flame

[hard forge]

i tired sonar on them and on us

[gloomy anvil]

in the public game?

[hard forge]

yes

[gloomy anvil]

good to know

[alpine junco]

In a public match on sunset system horizon you must step on each letter in order

[tidal forge]

I recorded the entire thing if needed for checking.

Not that you'll see the sonar if im not looking

[hard forge]

check if i threw it

[hasty anvil]

Dolphin dive maybe

[gloomy anvil]

remember when Rob said it was somehow "related" to the Ecco the Dolphin video game?

[dull marsh]

Maybe we gotta wave at the dolphins?

[hard forge]

yeah

[dull marsh]

Ok maybe let's not spam this thread so that Rob can catch up when he wakes up

Imma head out, bye!

[hard forge]

[gloomy anvil]

what if, to understand the actual meaning behind the dolphins (and the level 3 password) we need some information that the charm will tell us?

hence the extra effort and how it is "related" to Ecco

[tidal forge]

God, i'd hate being Rob tomorrow LOL

[alpine junco]

“Two features of the gameplay are based on actual dolphin habits: one button causes Ecco to sing, allowing him to speak with other cetaceans and interact with certain objects. The same button is used for echolocation: holding it down causes the song to return, generating a map of the area. Several levels contain enormous crystals called glyphs, which respond in different ways if Ecco touches or sings to them. Some block paths, and a "key-glyph" must be found in such cases to pass. Others give information, and a few in later levels replenish health/air and give Ecco temporary invulnerability.”

[cold heart]

gl all and take care, thanks for the efforts - least we got the first public recorded dolphin

[gloomy anvil]

I'm getting cannon flashbacks

[cold heart]

and some of you got achievements

gn

[hard forge]

shush delete

[cold heart]

meh who cares, its the game

we arent the first to have done that lol

[gloomy anvil]

thank you for being my flower pot kill 🫂

[hard forge]

thanks for being my emote kill.
(revenge for cannon kill)

[tidal forge]

I can't see you throwing a sonar

[gloomy anvil]

I was trying to kill you with the vault but I was so slow the gas killed me 😂

[hard forge]

Thanks for checking it out. i threw one in Ocean I am sure

[tidal forge]

Yeh i can't see it on the video but im at the back, and i know when you lauch stuff in ocean it just disapears

[hard forge]

@timid solstice did you see me throwing a sonar?

[cold heart]

Always ^^
Sorry for my complaining lmao

[dull marsh]

Next time we try we'll try a bunch of stuff and see what works 👍

[gloomy anvil]

oh and sorry I restarted GFN right when we needed to queue Horizon

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-twitch-laugh-wtf-7tv-gif-14790761470642618972

[tidal forge]

Give me a nudge, we'll get it 🙂

Nite guys!

[cold heart]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[hard forge]

so i did throw it

thanks for clarifying flex ❤️

[alpine junco]

Werent all battlefield ee in public matches?

[jade citrus]

pretty sure they could be done in private matches

[timid solstice]

yes if xp was still enabled

[timid solstice]

I think so

[hard forge]

yep I did.

[hasty anvil]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_June_12,_2029
Is this the cause of Skyway's red moon?

There isn't a Skyway moon thread so just gonna put this here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2029_lunar_eclipse#:~:text=A total lunar eclipse will,of the Earth's umbral shadow.
A total lunar eclipse is needed for a red moon
This will be the darkest and greatest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century
There's one in June 2029 and December 2029

Kind of feel due to recent eyes the moon and 3hm are connected maybe

[hard current]

ooo new rob eyes

red moon huh

[alpine junco]

the red moon was never solved

[hard current]

it's been around for a long time

must be relevant to the hunt if rob said it's on track

[alpine junco]

i posted about it's freqeuncy but idk if he saw it

[gloomy anvil]

yeah, this is connected to Skyway (see Rob's message here: #easter-eggs message)

I actually made a padlet months ago with all of this, before Rob confirmed anything, but it never went anywhere further https://padlet.com/raidy/holtow-dxo890lenr05aw47

[hasty anvil]

I literally posted a link to the same website twice haha, should of searched it

nice ill look over it

Back to 2029 and 20209.5 stuff

[alpine junco]

just realized this was hint #1 in the s2 bp

sunset horizon

i still think scottys to do list is another hint

[gloomy anvil]

where are those darn dolphins?

[unkempt dune]

continuing from #1204475718747029535 message

there's a rooster back accessory if I remember correctly

and there's an emote with one too

[eager hare]

Holtow M11 QR that takes you to a page with a blinking red dot

[alpine junco]

this one?

oh wait

the vixen

[unkempt dune]

mhm

[junior thicket]

Yeah why can't all the ee be as easy as the dolphin one?

Any of y'all try placing carriables on those platforms to produce the ee in a public lobby

[visual hatch]

this channel scares me

[junior thicket]

Huh

[hard forge]

why?

this is the second best channel in this server

[tardy idol]

Crazy? I was Craxy once. They locked me on Monaco. Monaco with Monkeys. Monkeys make me Crazy. Crazy? I was Craxy once. They locked me on Monaco. Monaco with Monkeys. Monkeys make me Crazy. Crazy? I was Craxy once. They locked me on Monaco. Monaco with Monkeys. Monkeys make me Crazy.

[dull marsh]

Wrong channel

[junior thicket]

Huh

[visual hatch]

becasue it involves the crazy lads

(im making a joke lol)

[hard forge]

mo one here is crazy.
thats #📕┇lore

[visual hatch]

fair point

[dull marsh]

Arguable ngl

[pure loom]

I'm starting to think this might be a Ned Kelly helmet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Kelly) and I have a few links that could go together with this. I'll post them now.

[keen drift]

HES COOKING

[pure loom]

Ned Kelly was an outlaw that spent most of his time in the inland parts of eastern Australia. One of the locations he lived was Winton, Queensland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winton,_Queensland). Winton is also an area renowned for Dinosaur fossils, which were preserved in sediments deposited during the Cretacous when Australia had an inland sea (the Eromanga Sea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eromanga_Sea). It is also the site of a possible asteroid impact. We have a couple of possible connections to the inland sea and dinosaurs - the T. rex sticker (Rob has said T. rex has multiple connections in the EE hunt). Also - and what caught my attention the most, is the Fragmented Reality charm, which looks very similar to the map of the Eromanga Sea.

Ned Kelly helmets

We have also previously had a clue which included Mars Stadium (formerly Eureka Stadium) in Ballarat Australia

The Fragmented Reality charm isn't a perfect match to the Eromanga See images, but then we also know Rob can be pretty subtle with his clues.

[dull marsh]

I think this helmet has been mentioned before? But not with that amount of details and connections

[pure loom]

Info on the Australia dinosaurs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Age_of_Dinosaurs

[dull marsh]

Great quality findings as always

[pure loom]

Thanks! I kind of stumbled on the idea while I was looking at store items for hints about upcoming maps haha

[hard forge]

that's CM Walker

[pure loom]

I'm sorry, I don't follow?

[hard forge]

off-topic. forgive me.

[dull marsh]

Is Walker a dinosaur?

Technically Jackdaw is a dinosaur

[unkempt dune]

cetacea and cretaceous do look similar

[dull marsh]

Yeah, crossed my mind a few times but nothing to really link them up came in mind

[hard forge]

@pure loom i suggest posting your findings in relevant threads too

[dull marsh]

#1220636359153291284

[candid basin]

Another season without japan map

sad

[hard forge]

that pfp i have seen that somewhere

[dull marsh]

Lol that's @dim totem ?!?

[candid basin]

whut

[pure loom]

there are potential links here. It just so happens that a friend (and former lecturer of mine), who sadly passed away about 6 months ago, was a world-expert on cetacean evolution - I actually completed field work with him collecting fossil whales, dolphins and porpoises (as well as other things - no dinos though) for the better part of a decade while I was at university. The break-up of Australia away from Antarctica was instrumental in rapid cetacean evolution down in this part of the world - so possible links there with Australia and seas opening up. I'm not sure how these things could tie together though, if at all - especially Ned Kelly - unless he's just pointing to inland Australia.

[pure loom]

I'm not certain that Winton, Queensland would make the best map for THE FINALS

[candid basin]

las vegas map isn't like real life

though I agree

[pure loom]

the street areas are pretty similar though

[candid basin]

geoguesser X finals????????????????????????

[pure loom]

but still - a big empty area like this wouldn't make much of a map

[candid basin]

it would be mostly indoors I presume

a zoo maybe

[gloomy anvil]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/s/TA52WIh6Yz

[pure loom]

Outback Australia is like stepping back in time

[candid basin]

I mean some cowboy era would be cool I guess?

I just really like buildings to care for it

[pure loom]

The other thing about outback Australia is there is a connection to one of their Art Directors, Andrew Hamilton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8egkw2bosE

some of these assets are probably used in ARC Raiders.

[gloomy anvil]

June 7th 🤔

nvmd, that's off topic

[pure loom]

this is such a lovely video

Here's Andrew's video: https://vimeo.com/430044693

astonishingly well-made

[dusk veldt]

Very interesting points🤔

[unkempt dune]

looking back at the most recent tattoos.. what kind of flower is this?

[bronze wolf]

looks kinda like a trillium, but coloured like a poppy

[unkempt dune]

can they have 5 petals?

looks like trilliums only have 3

[bronze wolf]

hence the kida lol, but the edges reminded me alot of it

[pure loom]

Looks like he might be at Epic Games now

[bronze wolf]

buuuut, tri for 3, is there like a fivillium? lol, plants experts halp

[unkempt dune]

too pointy to be a scarlet pimpernel

[dusk veldt]

Hibiscus?

[hard forge]

looks like tiger Lily

[unkempt dune]

between those two, tiger lily looks closer

it does look like the flower tattoo has stamens

[hard forge]

they have rounded petals IIRC

[south wyvern]

probably not Stapelia gigantea

[hard forge]

do u have highgress

[unkempt dune]

the best I can get without buying it

[pure loom]

oh, I have this - I'll see if I can grab a better image

Is this better?

you should be able to zoom in on that a bit

[pure loom]

I'm trying to figure out where this should go

Ah, I see there's a thread for the Nama Helmet image

[crimson wasp]

its a poinsettia

[pure loom]

that looks good to me

[unkempt dune]

probably the closest one so far

[south wyvern]

"It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays."

tomorrow, im going to try to find the monkey during red moon...

[fallen jasper]

gl!

[daring bluff]

remember when rob was talking about the embark logo originally being an "O over I" shape that looked like a sunset... well i found this in one of the ARC Raiders trailers, probably nothing but thought it was interesting

[elder forge]

yo...
i've played sys horizon map and judy said something like:
"Grab your SPF 50 and lets go"

Whats that?

[sharp mango]

nothing just Sunscreen

[elder forge]

😦

I thought there will be 50 BMG gun (

[sharp mango]

yeah she will said that on sunny tod

[sharp flame]

I think it's a good fit but we already have the perfect one with the "Black Knight" Satellite which also includes the floating-in-space part

[daring bluff]

wasn't black satellite also eyed by Rob?

[eager hare]

Yes, black knight conspiracy was eyed

[drowsy warren]

Hey guys me and a friend were in Monaco and notice that the fountains now say something that’s kind of hard to read but we both recall that they didn’t say something originally

It looks like U.BASSIGNON

[tidal forge]

That’s been there a long time

On the top square.

[drowsy warren]

Ah shoot! We were convinced we didn’t see it before 😅

[sharp flame]

Good spot! It's very hard to see so I'm not sure if it was just an artefact of the photoscanning or placed there on purpose

[vale igloo]

I bought this up a few months ago, the statue is based off of something in real life, the text on the statue is just the name of the artist who made it irl

[left pumice]

hey has anyone noticed that when inspecting a item or something in the loadout it makes a sound that i think sounds like a jumbled/pitched speaking

[sharp flame]

Huh, it is weird

[left pumice]

ya

[left pumice]

i barely know anything about solving ester eggs so i dont know what to do with this

[sharp flame]

We should record a clip and post it in here anyways

[left pumice]

i dont got perms for that sadly i tried

[cold heart]

you can send it in DMs if you want

or upload images to Imgur, and videos to Streamable/Youtube - and paste the link

[left pumice]

ight

https://youtu.be/I5dOsxo1AGs got it

oh also im like 80% sure its coming from the character cus you can still hear it when not inspecting something and you character is on screen

[velvet narwhal]

Weird. That's the sound that an anti-grav cube/gateway makes iirc.

[cold heart]

oh yeah i can kinda hear it in my game too - on the equipment screen

[left pumice]

Huh odd cus you can hear it on all classes

[cold heart]

you need to have music off, and your volume maxed

[left pumice]

It may just be a bug but y’all might still want to look into it

[daring bluff]

yeah it's a bug, that's the sound gateway makes

[tidal forge]

This is a bit like the music that @plucky cedar found next to the palm tree!

#easter-eggs message

Like a radio station trying to break through.

[tidal forge]

Its a dicot flower, most likely a Red Swamp Marsh Mallow Flower

[daring bluff]

oh snap. huge sponsor lore update with this new holtow driver set.

https://youtu.be/nNRvcepbP5U?si=D0VDf8XNEMt4s4GU

[tidal forge]

I hope we get some cool Pilot ones too! "Flight Suit UP!!!"

[peak plume]

Do we have any infos about Monkeys being seen in the previous update videos ?

or its just ingame

[velvet narwhal]

only on monaco

[tidal forge]

Neg, i've not seen anything more.

[turbid tinsel]

did we miss new official art? the channel was lit up like there was a post but nothing new is in there?

[alpine whale]

is it just me or do i see letters and symbols on the last shot of the mask?

[daring bluff]

there's something in the visor

ope you just pointed that out mb haha

[sharp mango]

wow, lots of sponsor names revealed

[tidal forge]

I noticed this just looking at it now

splitting out the frames as we speak

[daring bluff]

it's possible it's just part of monaco since that's where the video was made

[cold heart]

not in a while, its not lit up for me

there was some CNS stuff but that was like last week

[tidal forge]

Nothing, just been through all the broken down layers.

[daring bluff]

I always thought that first letter was an S. i guess it's an E

[sharp mango]

eno+rino

you guys so fast at updating stuff

[tidal forge]

I have all the frames

[sharp mango]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Sponsors

[tidal forge]

Who runs the wiki?

Scrap that, i looked its @fallen jasper

[sharp mango]

everyone? i don't know

[tidal forge]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/THE_FINALS:About

Those guys ❤️

[cold heart]

i mean the wiki is also updated by a number of people outside of those - in the community

they are just like the admins

[tidal forge]

Fair, thanks all contributors! ❤️

Wiki's and all other URLs have been a real help for EE's lately.

The EE Hype is real this week.

[daring bluff]

We should check if they updated the outside backdrop of monaco to include some F1 easter eggs. You should be able to see the track in-game

(green text at the top of that image)

[tidal forge]

Im certain the probably wont have. I believe the "Monaco" track layout is copyrighted, (Sounds daft i know) but the outlines of all the F1 tracks are subject to copyrights.

They may have put in a reference, but i do know from past experience F1 copyright EVERYTHING - Reference here if needed for legals: https://www.formula1.com/en/toolbar/guidelines.html

Bernie Ecclestone wants all the monkeys... i mean money....

[solar glade]

ty for adding the names to the Sponsors. i'll add the new logos soon

[daring bluff]

one of these new sponsor names just got me excited on an entirely different level.

[tidal forge]

Which one and why?

[daring bluff]

this is killing me

let me see if i can find something

[tidal forge]

Ok, cryptic AF lol

Also, has anyone put a fire in all the Monaco fireplaces yet?

See if it unlocks anything?

[sharp flame]

I think it's spelled "romagna" and not "romanga" btw

Can't update it rn

[solar glade]

i'll update it

[sharp flame]

Jiangsu and Romagna being two completely different regions is a cool idea for a brand

Northern Italy and Eastern China

Hope we get some fashionable cosmetics from them

[turbid tinsel]

so am i the only one seeing the official art channel lit or did i miss something awhile ago?

[turbid tinsel]

ahh

[velvet narwhal]

CNS wrote a few messages and 1 gif

[turbid tinsel]

yea i saw those

[cold heart]

they also sent it a couple of times

so its probably just that - and you didnt clear the other notifications

[daring bluff]

...fashionable indeed.

[tidal forge]

Me neither, we tried to do it last night, but i've still not seen it done.

[dull marsh]

The red moon is fairly common tho, but there must be a deeper meaning

[cold heart]

yeah its just the sunny ToD iirc

[sharp mango]

dark side of the moon

https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/gltf_embed/2366/

[frigid thorn]

has anyone see #official-art getting highlighted like there are some new messages while there is noting new?

i see this not for the first time here

[cold heart]

this was from last week or whenever it was, more teasers from CNS #1213500600117891122

[sharp mango]

just a bug i think

[cold heart]

whenever CNS raids the server, they posts images/ text, and shortly delete them

[sharp mango]

isnt cns post on r/cns

[velvet narwhal]

@raven zenith also posts stuff sometimes

[cold heart]

yes... and as i said, sometimes they "raid" the server

[sharp mango]

ah

[frigid thorn]

is there a way to hide some post and display it later in Discord so the channel will get highlighted?

maybe we should recheck all posts if there is something new between old posts?

[cold heart]

no you cant

if you send a message, and delete it - the ping still stays, thats all it is... you cant delay post messages in the middle of other messages

these are the kind of things they sent when CNS was last here: #1213500600117891122 message

it was last Thursday

[cold heart]

you can edit messages, but that doesnt trigger a ping and would be basically impossible for us to check for that kinda thing

the only time they have done that was when Rob kept "trying" to delete a specific CNS message

[sharp mango]

also the moon is mirror

noom

[cold heart]

yeah thats odd the mood is mirrored 🤔

good catch

its worth adding though, the regular non-red version also has this

[sharp mango]

so normal one is mirror too

what is this dark spot

it got cut out?

[cold heart]

oh yeah i never noticed, ill look at it when i get the map again

i suspect its a cloud or something though

[alpine junco]

Pac man

[eternal violet]

cant unsee the pacman now, even has a little eye

explains the yellow moon, EE solved

[dull marsh]

There is no "dark side" of the moon, only "far side", it does get sunlight as much as the rest of the moon

[sharp mango]

you could call it that

[cold heart]

anways if you want a good 3D render of the moon

NASA has a really render https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/gltf_embed/2366/
or here on google https://search.app.goo.gl/6Fv9MUZ

[sharp mango]

nice

[dull marsh]

Fair, but many people think that the other side is night all the time due to that phrasing 🥲

[cold heart]

its not the far-side anyways

[frigid thorn]

This screenshot is from 5th February if anyone interested by any changes

[cold heart]

its this, which is on the left side of the "front"

the moon does get flipped though.. depending on if youre in the norther/souther hemisphere

[frigid thorn]

you don't need to move to another pole just to rotate on 180 degree if the Moon is above you🙂

[cold heart]

so from skyway... we would be looking at it from the souther hemisphere ... with our head tilted (assuming its from Earth)

[sharp mango]

okay youre right

it's actually near side

[cold heart]

yeah i guess if youre directly under it thats true

/ looking upsidedown maybe? idfk

[silk flax]

Anyone running a lobby for the 3HM?

[cold heart]

im about to become Gru, and steal the moon
I think the weird cut off is just the fog, or lighting

[wet locust]

Yo guys, we gotten any leaks for S3 other than the glitched sun?

[silk flax]

I'm still trying to find the monkey

[sharp mango]

iseult might be on season 3

[cold heart]

how did you get that jacket? 🤔 ive never seen that before

[sharp mango]

nah rob posted this one

actually it was from close beta

#⚡┇the-finals-chat message

[cold heart]

oooh wait yes i was about to say, this is the cb one we havent gotten yet

you can see the little froggy charm on the bag we have been asking for

[silk flax]

I need that to actually make a bonk sound when I hit someone

[sharp mango]

i think it's a charm

maybe a new weapon

but look too pixelated

[sharp mango]

it's a different one

[silk flax]

That's so badass to me

Like chefs kiss 🤌

[sharp mango]

imagine chef theme bundle

[silk flax]

Sword is just a Baggett with a bite out of it

[viral wren]

ik im most definately not the only one to think this but what on earth is this number about? (00.00.00) its featured on all of the guns after: THE FINALS | REACH THE FINALS | 00.00.00

[timber spindle]

isn't it supposed to be the time? I've always thought that. In the game it doesn't change, but i think it just isn't implemented.

[viral wren]

idk, but another thing ive just noticed is that in the bottom right corner of your screen there seems to be somekind of code, and it doesnt ever change

[sharp mango]

thats not easter egg related

[cold heart]

thats the game version number

it is common practice in most online service games, to have the version number in a corner... so if anyone rages about a "new" bug with video - developers can see which version it effected
might also contain other information like your region, but not sure - its not important

[fallen jasper]

Was this board always like this? This is the first time I notice CNS here

[sharp mango]

i think it's only in the final round

[fallen jasper]

Fair i guess

[dull marsh]

It seems to be there sometimes but not all the time 🤔

[alpine junco]

Occasionally, i posted about it when s2 came out and i got it in the final round

“The glitches happen in the big games”

I still think there are activated EE in ranked games

[silk flax]

Always wondered what they meant by that, now I know

[dusk veldt]

does the orientation change in any version of Skyway?

[cold heart]

there is a version of skyway where the moon is overhead, not like how it is there

with the skybridge- but i havent had that version yet to take a good screenshot

not playing rn

[fallen jasper]

Oh the one from the billboard in Monaco nice

[dusk veldt]

I do remember Holtow having a search function, was that ever figured out

i feel like this has greater meaning #easter-eggs message im wondering about the Skyway moon

what connection hes hinting at

[silk flax]

Could it be referring to a date?

[dusk veldt]

How so?

[silk flax]

Not sure exactly rn but imma see if I can pull something that could help us

[dusk veldt]

Do that, because that sounds very interesting

i remember the convos here about the dates and all

that was a while ago though now

[silk flax]

Last one I remember was a couple years ago

"Beaver Blood Moon" Nov 8, 2022

That was the most recent, gonna dig deeper

Think im steering the wrong way

[runic furnace]

hey guys how's the hunt going. any new hints?

[sharp flame]

only this weird angled image

[runic furnace]

Hmm 🤔

[sharp flame]

ngl it kinda looks like your pfp 😭

[runic furnace]

Am I the key 😯

[sharp flame]

well now we need to know why they hid you in the back of the image like that

👀

[dusk veldt]

Like at a first glance i thought it was the building area near the "water" on Syshorizon but the sun/moon is not in that position on the map???

[silk flax]

I see trees

[dusk veldt]

is it a hint maybe towards the thing Rob eyed, like a connection

[silk flax]

Monaco?

[sharp flame]

thought so too

[runic furnace]

Same I see trees and a moon

[sharp flame]

this is like a treasure hunt map 😭 maybe we have to go where it was taken

[dusk veldt]

doubt it to be honest

[naive kernel]

The bottom middle and slightly to the right looks like the small walls surrounding the edge of the map of Monaco too

[silk flax]

Whered the image come from?

[dusk veldt]

but like the building area overlooking the water on Syshorizon, on the balcony

it looks like that

[naive kernel]

I'm between both it being Monaco but also the 'completed' SYSHORIZON map, which will likely also have trees once fully done

[tidal forge]

Is it just me that see's a one eye'd baymax?

[sharp flame]

where do you reckon Sys Horizon is set then? the city it's supposed to be?

[dusk veldt]

but how does that tie in to the leaks Rob dropped?

[silk flax]

I can't remember if there is actually a sun that high up in SYSHORIZON

[dusk veldt]

or rather CNS

[naive kernel]

I'd have to look back at the original posts when it first came out but weren't people guessing Japan?

[sharp flame]

ahhh right yeah

[naive kernel]

There were a few leading speculations of where the leaked images were

[tidal forge]

Was japan right?

[naive kernel]

I can't remember if it was Japan or somewhere in China

[tidal forge]

I remember japan, (and i wasn't even in the discord then)

[dull marsh]

Yeah some people were thinking about Japan

[dusk veldt]

that is actually interesting

[bright ruin]

the CNN building

[sharp flame]

Shibuya Crossing was the running gag, but Japan in general yeah

[silk flax]

I also remember hearing a lot about japan

[dusk veldt]

lol

[sharp flame]

CNN or Japan that was it 😭

surely it's CNN

[naive kernel]

😂

[dull marsh]

Tbf we still don't know the actual place SYS$HORIZON is based on

[bright ruin]

Without a doubt, look at the trees! /s

[tidal forge]

#matrix

[dusk veldt]

but im wondering, what things do we have rn that could point towards it

imma read everything CNS dropped

[dull marsh]

Yes guys, this must be Apple headquarters

It has trees

[cold heart]

weve been told its based on a real location, just no confimation where

[tidal forge]

Yeh sorry i was being sarcastic lol

[cold heart]

ikik lol

[silk flax]

What places got bridges like that 😭

[bright ruin]

An important component is that it's off the coast of somewhere
Shibuya is indeed near a port/off the coast so the initial theory is still feasible at least

[dull marsh]

Idk, kinda gave up on trying to identify SYS$HORIZON location

It's probably something like New York

[tidal forge]

lol, I think after last night with lud's mouse running off comment i made, you'll get my pun/humour pretty quickly lol

[bright ruin]

Ancient Greece, boutta have Zeus smite you mid steal

[dusk veldt]

i mean Syshorizon is glitched and "hacked" so it could just aswell be removed

[silk flax]

Brain hurty

[candid basin]

gotta be silicon valley right?

[dull marsh]

But still to me that looks like a sun, not a moon here

[bright ruin]

SYS takes place in the "Loading" of the finals. Meaning the map itself technically isn't fully loaded, even if it was made by CNS with the assets they got access too from hacking THE FINALS

[dull marsh]

Idk, has to be a grid-city with skyscrapers on the shore

And fairly flat

[bright ruin]

The assets of course being assets from whatever the "full" map is supposed to be

[tidal forge]

Be interesting if SYS was actually a conscript program inside hardware.

[sharp flame]

if it were a skyscraper city surely there would be skyscrapers here?

[candid basin]

this the new clue?

[tidal forge]

DERP

[sharp flame]

yep! probably of the new map

[dusk veldt]

that is true...hmm

this makes my brain hurt

[sharp flame]

but why Shibuya in specific

[silk flax]

Trees automatically think of Monaco since we still need to find the 3HM

[tidal forge]

Wait... i got it wrong.

Fixed

[dull marsh]

It's weird, the circle doesn't look quite perfectly round 🤔

[sharp flame]

reposting some old clues

[candid basin]

are we still sure on the Australia thing

or was that just a possibility

[bright ruin]

Because that's what people's intial theories were, so I googled where Shibuya is because I knew wherever it is, would have to be near water, and if Shibuya was landlocked, then it'd be less likely. But it's near water, so people's initial guesses are still feasible about Shibuya

[dull marsh]

CNS doesn't help with EE so it's likely not related

[dull marsh]

Ouch my eyes dude

[runic furnace]

?

[bright ruin]

Of course it could be Tokyo, or Shinagawa, etc. Not certain, i was just checking claims of previous theories

[sharp flame]

this is another CNS clue they posted

last week

[dusk veldt]

hmm, what were the HEX codes again? wasnt that how we got the reboot restart?

[sharp flame]

just the one hex code from the colour

[dull marsh]

No no, RHB was just speculating about some EE stuff, I don't think he was speculating about season 3 🤔

[sharp flame]

but the hex code doesn't pop up anywhere else

so it was a dead end

[bright ruin]

We're on track to solve like 1 tier per season 😭

[sharp flame]

but Red/White could mean a lot of things

like the Firetruck Red clue from months ago

[candid basin]

we need some geoguesser players in here

[sharp flame]

rainbolt would get this in 0.1 seconds, blindfolded

[dull marsh]

Maybe we can try to identify the type of trees?

[silk flax]

I only know a weeping willow fam

[candid basin]

simple things like trees use the same models

[dusk veldt]

oh i remember that, i think i pointed out the fire extinguisher

[candid basin]

wouldn't be easy to make a game otherwise

[bright ruin]

usually

it depends

[dusk veldt]

are they the same shade of red? 🤔 @sharp flame

[dull marsh]

Do they reuse the exact same through all maps?

[cold heart]

@dull marsh yanno now i said i identify people by their pfp... its really not helping rn 🤣 keep thinking its @dim totem

big pain for my head 😝

[sharp flame]

nope! CE2029 and DA2F20

[candid basin]

I do think so, these seem to be the same as macau

[sharp flame]

we know DA2F20 is on purpose because the binary code in the title spells the same

maybe it's the red in the Monaco flag??

[dull marsh]

Macau 😂

[dusk veldt]

could work with the trees but the image didnt look like Monaco imo

[sharp flame]

people said this was the red and white

[dull marsh]

Yeah that's what I was speculating the other day, but there are quite a few flags with white and red

[dusk veldt]

Poland s3 confirmed🤣

[candid basin]

upsie

[dull marsh]

And none matched the same shade of red

[sharp flame]

Monaco red is CE1126

[dull marsh]

Yoooo imagine a Tchernobyl map

Not in Poland, but still would be cool

[candid basin]

I know now would be a bad time for this but St. Petersburg would be a hell of a map

[bleak wharf]

i don't think it will be a good idea with current situation irl :/

[dusk veldt]

wait, what if it isnt flags for countries

[dull marsh]

True sadly 😭

[dull marsh]

Would give a good excuse to use the radiation suit tho

[snow walrus]

I thought that's TF red #D21F3C but it's not :Sadge:

[bleak wharf]

thought we already have one? 🧐

or you mean wear

[dull marsh]

Yes yes but no good reason to "use" it per say hehe

[tidal forge]

I bet the Embark team have a right laugh in the office when they see the EE chat and the stuff we think up. lol

[dim totem]

bnuuy

[candid basin]

oi there mate

[runic furnace]

unrelated but Ocanom (Monaco backwards) is an ancient Indian word that is spelled backwards to mean "someone else's problem" or "Monaco

[dull marsh]

I'm also super confused at the Reddit post name, the 20-sided shape thing

[dusk veldt]

what if its a regional thing???? like a football club, a students union thing, a university flag, a regional flag, a city flag etc???

[cold heart]

so many red and white flags...

[candid basin]

we need some new clues I think

[tidal forge]

JAPAN!

[dull marsh]

Oof

[candid basin]

for things to make sense

[candid basin]

I want japan anyway too

[cold heart]

INGERLANNDDD 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[tidal forge]

Me three

[dull marsh]

So many people want Japan haha

[tidal forge]

No one cares about that place, I heard is a bag of shit there 🤣

[candid basin]

the flag of japan is a flower on cotton, anybody knows if is the same flower?

[cold heart]

amen 💪

[dusk veldt]

wait!

[dull marsh]

What do you mean by that?

[candid basin]

The thing is some of the teaser was made on a map most of us think is japan, plus the samurai outfit we never saw ingame

[dusk veldt]

isnt it the same one as the tattoo someone posted here last night!

wait lemme find it

[candid basin]

there is a high chance they are already working on it, but we can't be sure

[dusk veldt]

unsure https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011929497139953744/1242681132697255987/image.png?ex=664f613d&is=664e0fbd&hm=8af6917e8710c81482fee52182686e8d3b05fe9fd6b19f5205cf9152cf19bdc9&

[dull marsh]

How is Japan's flag a flower

[dull marsh]

That would look like Hong Kong

[candid basin]

the story is that the put the most beautiful traditional flower on a bed of cotton to give the emperor, in a little box

[dusk veldt]

ah so not it then

[candid basin]

by the time it got there it became a circle

[tidal forge]

God that's trippy

[dull marsh]

Ooooh, pretty story actually

[candid basin]

grandma told me that so it must be true

[dull marsh]

Stop that it's awful 😭

[runic furnace]

Am I being hypnotized

[fallen jasper]

It's too much 😂

[candid basin]

anyway gotta work now folks goodbye

[cold heart]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_symbols_of_Japan yeah doesnt really fit with japanes icons 🤔

[dull marsh]

Do we know what flower it was?

[tidal forge]

Wow, that was bad lol

[tidal forge]

I posted earlier

speculation

[candid basin]

english is not my first language but I think it is a cherry flower

[dull marsh]

The one in Japan's flag story?

[tidal forge]

#easter-eggs message

[candid basin]

don't know if I am saying it right

[fallen jasper]

The Sakura blossom 🌸

[candid basin]

that one yes very good

[dull marsh]

Lol, even tho I know very little about Japan I know that flower haha

[fallen jasper]

Not the same somehow that one has an air of poisonous flower

[tidal forge]

Sorry no, mixed up.

The tattoo

[candid basin]

Devs if you are reading this please make a middle ages map or something exotic like that

[sharp flame]

again I checked all the colours of everything and nothing matched exactly

but we can get some close colours!

[candid basin]

also ww1 k98 for medium please

[tidal forge]

KNIGHTS! THAT SAY NEEEEEEE!!!

[fallen jasper]

The similarities are there with colors but nothing is the exact same as that flower (not this one 🌸)

[runic furnace]

Looking into Monaco mirrored and there a place called Ocanom S.r.o.

Sr👀 and Monaco or I may be loosing it

[dull marsh]

Yes I'd love to see knight with shield and swords

[dim totem]

yeah i said that earlier

[tidal forge]

Latter, we all are, fucking monkey business.

[dim totem]

Kar98k looks mighty fine for this game

[tidal forge]

BAR

would be epic

[dull marsh]

Yeah idk, you may be loosing me right there XD

[runic furnace]

The building looks like somewhere in Monaco too🫨

[dull marsh]

"SR" came up as a EE hunter cult, so I doubt it would be part of lore

[runic furnace]

Alr Im done now

[tidal forge]

You need a monkey, then you're done lol

[dull marsh]

Let's wait and see what CNS has to say 🤔

[sharp flame]

would you believe that this is a Japanese flag

[tidal forge]

Looks good to me!

[dull marsh]

Uh huh?

[snow walrus]

in 2100? maybe :p

[tidal forge]

hahah

#CNSFlag

[cold heart]

isnt that the French flag 😆 (this is a joke) just wanna annoy Ludo and Erleyah

[runic furnace]

Atp idk what to believe so yes

[silk flax]

I left to see some threads and I comeback to this lol

[fallen jasper]

Is this some kind of a surrendering message?

[dull marsh]

Fish is going off-rails, posting nonsense

[silk flax]

Rob finna get mad at us for missing the mark again

[fallen jasper]

Oh now some context lol

[dusk veldt]

Some things made sense, not everything

[tidal forge]

We need a map based on "Sealand"

It as a flag too

[dull marsh]

I'm just talking about his last message

[tidal forge]

Sealand flag

[naive kernel]

Sorry for the long ago ping but I cannot wait for that to come to the game 🤤

[dull marsh]

Would be a tad small tho 🤔

[hearty meteor]

ah yes black

[cold heart]

i might be pulling this out of my ass... but you just reminded me... but wherent like a LOT of Dutch people in Japan at one point 🤔 like wasnt that a big trade thing like a couple 100 years ago/sooner

[cold heart]

i ment white hush

[dusk veldt]

Hi bean!!

[tidal forge]

Ye, be fucking hilarious for quick spa

[hard forge]

oiu oiu fish-kun

[sharp flame]

yeah that's where the flag comes from!

[cold heart]

ooh cool

[tidal forge]

You fall off the platform, "fucccckkkk"

You charge run at someone... Fuccccckkkk

Literally RPG the other side, fuckkkkk lol

(I'll quit the f's now)

How to make Finals more ragey ...

[fallen jasper]

Hibiscus 🌺 flower maybe?

Though red spider Lili could be it

[silk flax]

We still talking about the "moon" in the pic?

[hard forge]

I think it's tiger Lily

[silk flax]

Or giant moon?

[cold heart]

wait zilk, how are you already Red wtf

you just got back

[dusk veldt]

Sort of, were considering where S3 and the teasers are leading us

[silk flax]

Ahhh

[dull marsh]

I really don't think it's the moon, we see no detail on it whatsoever, the moon has some decent contrast between different areas

[dusk veldt]

you know what the flower looks like kinda like this

[sharp flame]

what flower

[dusk veldt]

without the middle thing but still

[dull marsh]

The sun or something like an explosion makes a lot more sense to me

[fallen jasper]

Le huh? 🐸

[dusk veldt]

the tattoo one

[sharp flame]

EXPLOSION??

[cold heart]

icic

[dull marsh]

Idk it's not quite round I feel

[silk flax]

EXPLOSION?!

Too defined for one

[sharp flame]

fallout collab

[dull marsh]

Could be a massive explosion?

[hard forge]

same. also Rob was hinting towards dawn
#1213500600117891122 message

[hard forge]

NO

[dusk veldt]

Okay😔

[dull marsh]

Idk, a nuclear explosion does look pretty similar

[hard forge]

that doesn't have pointed petals

[dusk veldt]

Oh interesting

It looks like a big scoop of ice cream too .-.

I love ice cream

[sharp flame]

but it's like in the air

[bright ruin]

radioactive icecream

[dull marsh]

True

But actual atomic bombs were detonated in the air, unlike atomic tests

THE FINALS™️ would make nukes so much better than CoD

#1204968975881216110 message

?

[hard forge]

What are the dimensions of the image @bright ruin

[dull marsh]

Imagine the server lag tho 😂😂

[bright ruin]

Tell that to my frames they put nukes in the finals 😭

[bright ruin]

What image?

[hard forge]

the recent one

[bright ruin]

The CNS one?

No clue, I'll take a look though

[dull marsh]

Just ask fish he keeps reposting it

[dusk veldt]

But like if we assume the next thing is a changed version of Syshorizon we can assume its gonna be like it to some extent? Like the water. We know of the red colorway(potentially linked to flags). We have the many messages rob Cns has dropped to analyze. We also have the red moon on skyway recently being eyed

[bright ruin]

3840px x 2160px

[fossil sonnet]

is it just me or this reflection look like that photo..

[sharp flame]

it's called keeping the convo alive

[dusk veldt]

Now we dont know what that eye was for but yes

[fossil sonnet]

but the black circles = the white lights

[dusk veldt]

Where is that @fossil sonnet

[sharp flame]

it does actually!

[dull marsh]

I ain't blaming lol

[fossil sonnet]

its a big circle with smaller one off set... its just reversed

[bright ruin]

@hard forge

[dusk veldt]

Im reposting it again, important we stay on task as rob said: But like if we assume the next thing is a changed version of Syshorizon we can assume its gonna be like it to some extent? Like the water. We know of the red colorway(potentially linked to flags). We have the many messages rob Cns has dropped to analyze. We also have the red moon on skyway recently being eyed

[dull marsh]

Idk, looks like normal cube map kinda 🤔

[sharp flame]

oh I didn't even consider a second circle

[dusk veldt]

Three dawns?

Idk im yapping

[fossil sonnet]

idk it looks like it to me

obv just flipped

[runic furnace]

Did the game with Rob alr happen or is it later

[dull marsh]

Whenever the man wants 😭

[dusk veldt]

Wait a second

[fallen jasper]

The game is gonna happen anytime soon

[dull marsh]

I'm not seeing what you're seeing

[dusk veldt]

What if three dawns is in Syshorizon?

It would make sense

[dull marsh]

How

[fallen jasper]

Top left image circle and x (designed) on the side.. Side by side look pretty similar

[dull marsh]

There is no dawn tod in sys horizon

[fallen jasper]

Where is this at?

[bright ruin]

the 3 DAWNphins? (hehe get it? Dolphins. Dawn. I'm not leaving.)

[dusk veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/wesley-snipes-gif-5584660563414908453

[dull marsh]

Idk are we saying two circles look similar? I mean they're circles yeah

[fossil sonnet]

its in monaco fountain

[fallen jasper]

Yeah the circles and there is another thing (x) on their right side on both images that are similar also

[fossil sonnet]

the thing is, its not the "real" reflection

if you move moouse even more u see stadium reflection of your real world

its a seperate thing

[fallen jasper]

Would be nice to have that in a video ngl

[bright ruin]

Yeah go ahead and solve all the EE while you're at it

I do see where the similarities are though, I don't think it's necessarily anything, but I can totally understand what you're saying

[fossil sonnet]

i got kicked but asked him to replicate it, u can see its two seperate reflection things

[bright ruin]

The reflections in the game aren't always reflecting what's actually present in the loaded instance. Weird game dev/engine thing, but there's been a few instances with the finals specifically of reflections reflecting entirely other maps

[hard forge]

100% different things

[hard forge]

Don't forget we are dealing with Rob here.

[bright ruin]

Oh I'm not, just make note that it's not the first time reflections haven't matched up but also weren't anything EE related

Are you using Raytracing by chance as well?

[fallen jasper]

Thank you! This is honestly something odd

[bright ruin]

ALSO I'm glad I'm not the only one that has that weird ass "in and out" graphics thing going on in the game. It's kinda jarring/annoying how looking certain ways just makes reflections or textures disappear

[fossil sonnet]

no i get that but what would it be reflecting and why are there two lol

usually you have ONE reflection that isnt working properly

[bright ruin]

It wouldn't be reflecting anything

It would just have something in it's reflection

[dusk veldt]

I feel like its something worth to be pursued atleast, especially with the 2 dots and the new teaser image basically having the same

[bright ruin]

We've seen similar on the windows/mirrors on other maps, reflecting the skybridge on a completely different map. But it was static, or rather, baked into the "reflection"

[dusk veldt]

makes sense

[bright ruin]

It's one of those strange game engine (specifically with unreal engine reflection) that can occur.

Which is unfortunate because if Rob did hide something like we're speculating with the examples Lincuxe is providing, it makes it hard to not 2nd guess them based on said bugs/reflection issues

Being Rob though, I could see him absolutely baking in stuff to the "reflections"
I mean, last month someone talked about the reflection in the red lens of a mask, and Rob was teasing about it, so he 100% has put stuff in the "reflections" within the game before

[cold heart]

i mean that litterially isnt a UE thing...

they just use CubeMaps and ScreenSpace reflections

[bright ruin]

This specific issue is a UE thing/bug that I've seen talked about on the forums for a while
Similar issues are not a UE thing, and are what you mentioned above

[cold heart]

what specific issue are you refering to exactly?

but idk 🤷‍♀️ not gonna get into a debate about it 😅 just isnt an engine specific problem - just different techiques have different pros and cons

we know for a fact 3HMs (and presumably other EEs) are not in a Cubemap regardless

as for screenspace reflections... it has to be on your screen anyways to reflect - so that doesnt matter either imo

[fallen jasper]

During an argument we could actually end up unveiling an EE (most likely not but we can try)

[bright ruin]

I'd have to find it, but not a priority right now as I'm juggling work/glancing in here. Not trying to debate, just say this thing specifically mentioned the last time I looked it up. I'm aware of cubemap & SS reflections beyond what's going on here

[fallen jasper]

@cold heart this is the latest topic of debate

[cold heart]

i know

[bright ruin]

And it's likely a combo of both as well! I don't want to 100% say you're wrong, cuz I don't think you are, there was just some other UE bug I saw directly relating to this lol

[eternal violet]

but whats the bug here?

[cold heart]

yeah a lot of UE5 defaults have interesting querks about them true - common one being the TAA smearing

[fallen jasper]

Maybe the reflection is being seen as a bug

[bright ruin]

I'm still curious if they're using raytracing or not

Smearing is gross 😭

[fossil sonnet]

yes

[drifting spruce]

guys arc raiders raid s3 of the finals

🤯

[fallen jasper]

They just gonna drop into the finals (?

[bright ruin]

Have you tried viewing this without RT on and only Screen Space Reflections? (Or turning them off entirely)
It'd be helpful to see a comparison

[eternal violet]

i understand we are talking about the reflection, but whats wrong with it? the disappearing is standard SSR stuff, there's nothing you can do about it

[cold heart]

i mean Summer Game Fest isnt that far away - so many Arc soon

[fossil sonnet]

idk argue all u want, to me it just looked like the cns style pic but upside down

[fallen jasper]

Better than CNS and vaiiya boop e-fights

[fossil sonnet]

the person i asked to clip doesnt have those things on, its not a settings thing

[bright ruin]

I wouldn't say this is arguing, just juggling ideas and possibilities as to what it could be, what could cause it, etc. Unless it gets ruled out entirely, it's not axed

[drifting spruce]

idk what vaiya has done to stop cns

[fossil sonnet]

i took a ss on my end
he took a vid

[drifting spruce]

maybe they said please

[fossil sonnet]

completely different settings

[bright ruin]

Gotcha. Good to know!

[fallen jasper]

Lore ™

[fallen jasper]

Debate about it being a bug. Or actually does look like the CNS image sent side by side

[fallen jasper]

Could be the same could be a mirage.. To me looks similar. That's pretty much the debate from my perspective

[bright ruin]

We do have to keep in mind, this is about a CNS post, and those have been non-EE related typically, just teasing upcoming stuff. So possibly just looking way too deep into it too

[eternal violet]

yea im not seeing it, the puddle is reflecting the giant ring with balloons

[fossil sonnet]

maybe you didnt see the original thing i posted lol
the video is just showcasing 2 reflections

[eternal violet]

i saw this #easter-eggs message and like i said, ring lights and balloons

[dusk veldt]

Thanks for the find Lin, ill look into it. Would you mind just telling me where you found it, which map and variant?:)

[fossil sonnet]

this would be the orientation

flipped and upsidedown

its in monaco on the fountain with the canons that shoot into the houses

[fallen jasper]

Monaco night and rain.

[fossil sonnet]

wait no was night rain

just wasnt doing rain things on that fountain for some reason from what i remember

can see the rain in the vid

[dusk veldt]

Thanks!

[quiet vine]

the little knowledge I have of Unreal Engine I can almost bet on it being a reflection glitch/bug, I remember this happening with me

[dull marsh]

It's neither a glitch nor a bug, just a compromise, it makes the game look good usually but looked at some angles it has weird behaviors, but at least most of the time you get great looking reflections

[quiet vine]

yeah meant something along those lines 🙂

[cold heart]

@dusk veldt

also that weird part of the moon missing on the other version is defo this cloud

i cant tell which way the moon is when its like this tbh.. was very obvious on the other TOD

[alpine junco]

I did some digging a long time ago on the missing part of the moon on skyway

Thought maybe thered be a significant crater or something

[dusk veldt]

Interesting🤔

[dull marsh]

Moon stuff we may have missed 🌑

Does the red moon on Skyway show in the last winners screen?

Like in the background

Maybe it changes

[dull marsh]

EYES ALERT 🚨

#easter-eggs message

[dull marsh]

I'm assuming this is related to Skyway's Red Moon

[cold heart]

there is also a sun/orbit related line too

[dull marsh]

There are some Las Vegas slot machines which have a moon rotating too

Seems like it's a similar speed

[slender lodge]

accept his invite 💀

[cold heart]

😂 i did lul

[dull marsh]

Sad it doesn't rotate

It's in Argon casino

This kinda looks like auroras

[dull marsh]

There are stars here... perhaps a constellation?

[dusk veldt]

[odd hemlock]

That would be at the outdoor bar, right? If it exists?

[cold heart]

[dusk veldt]

[odd hemlock]

You'd have to tell me that, I don't know where graffiti is located

[fallen jasper]

Stigson...

[unkempt dune]

Zaraby

Glamora

Eastwood

[cold heart]

trueeeeeeeeeeeee

[lone wave]

The double Vs are a reference to roman numbers? That's why you mention them?

[unkempt dune]

that's just the icon they use

[lone wave]

yeah but i meant : any particular reason you reported them?

[unkempt dune]

I'm just keeping track of what's on the map

[lone wave]

Found post-it notes

But i can't zoom

[unkempt dune]

I'm listening to these slot machines

and I think I've heard:

• Government bailout!
• Milk daddy!

[lone wave]

yup lol

[junior thicket]

Milk daddy?

Wth

Yeah I think I've heard that

[sweet thistle]

Mooo! Milk daddy!

[unkempt dune]

the star from argon's logo

[candid kraken]

could trentila be a map creator sponsor since in the season 3 teaser image the secret sentence is reboot required and i think they will reboot THE FINALS destroying the maps files therefor this sponsor needs to make new maps

and there logo is green

[dusk veldt]

Not really anything to support that theory rn, as there are many other sponsors

[candid kraken]

but the creator of the finals posted a image of the logo and teased it coming in season 3

[tardy idol]

So this is probably nothing but seen it a few times so I made a few different recordings of this, but I noticed when looking at the Moon on Monaco I see a light that flashes. Always in same spot on the moon, however doesn't always flash depends on how you look at it.

Also noticed like anything if it is in your peripheral it gets bigger, which the moon does and can see the blinking still.

Also, trying to find monkeys I started to see them in things. The moon looks like a monkey on the left side being behind a person. Think I'm going bananas.

https://imgur.com/a/YUWWNu8

[candid kraken]

it could be a glitch with the stadium lights

[dusk veldt]

Where?

[candid kraken]

nvm

it could be one of those tap thing whats it called

[cold heart]

we know yeah, there is something funky with the moons on almost all the maps

[candid kraken]

somewhere in the dis or on reddit idk

[cold heart]

if you could decypher it that would be awesome, but i dont think we have anything on it yet

[tidal forge]

yeh im getting fedup of the monkeys too

[fallow radish]

Might this possibly be the retroreflectors on the moon? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_retroreflectors_on_the_Moon

[dusk veldt]

A good guideline to follow is to always post what youre reffering to. I think you mean this, but as ive said there are many other sponsors there which we have no idea what they mean or do yet. That theory with the green is in my opinion not supported by anything factual yet

[tardy idol]

yea haven't checked the other maps much. just everytime I look through trees and other things jsut see the moon blinking at me. Like look at me. lol

[candid kraken]

that's where they found the sentence Reboot Required

[dusk veldt]

I found what youre reffering to, if you look above there are also many new sponsors up there. Which themselves could mean literally anything so yeh idk

[unkempt dune]

some stuff on the transformers in the back of Argon

[odd hemlock]

Argon is an element, does anyone know what is atomic weight is

[dusk veldt]

So folks in regards to our discussion of recent CNS ”leaks” and the new potential map change. I stumbled upon this on reddit and i had to verify. Did they update this recently?

[cold heart]

this like the steam description or 🤔

[dusk veldt]

Further down

[cold heart]

oh yeah

[dusk veldt]

I wonder if you can check history on these things

[cold heart]

not sure

[golden iron]

https://steamdb.info/app/2073850/history/

steamDB is your friend in this case

[cold heart]

way back machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20220824011026/https://store.steampowered.com/app/2073850/THE_FINALS/

[golden iron]

@cold heart pinging you as well so you can see it

[dusk veldt]

Youre name confused me so much

[cold heart]

way back machine says it was there August 2022

[golden iron]

im john finals

[unkempt dune]

looks like it's been there for a while

nothing new

[cold heart]

okay thanks? ehhe

[dusk veldt]

Ah good to know, thanks @cold heart

[golden iron]

just trying to spread the help

[cold heart]

yeah its fine, dw

steamdb doesnt give you details on the deeper down descriptions though - not without an account anyways

[cold heart]

weird its been there so long, ay?

like i never realised before 🤔 wonder if its something they wrote a every long time ago, and never updated it since launch

[visual hatch]

I just checked out #egg-hunt-onboarding and am very confused halp please i want to contribute

[dull marsh]

Ask away, what you're confused about

[visual hatch]

Uuuuuh what the heck is TFEE and all this password stuff?

And generally how do I help lol

[dull marsh]

That's the main EE hunt

Look at the wiki

Wait I'm playing a game, I'll explain after

[visual hatch]

ok

[visual hatch]

39.95 au

[fallen summit]

whats happening on june 1st?

[dull marsh]

So basically the main EE hunt is an ARG (alternate reality game), there are multiple levels (4 in total I think) and each time there are multiple steps

[visual hatch]

I believe that's when season 3 starts no?

[fallen summit]

i dont think so...

[dull marsh]

Rob gives us clues mostly in images he posts in #official-art and by saying cryptic stuff

[visual hatch]

yeah nvm.

[dull marsh]

And confirms good leads by 👀 'ing correct messages

[fallen summit]

worth looking in to

[fallen summit]

too bad its been dead for months

[visual hatch]

On THE FINALS website i saw this, is this part of the EE hunt? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62d66fa29e72c560f8efc020/17bd3eef-468c-4414-9991-393b40f7615d/THE_FINALS_I_Want_to.png?format=1000w

[dull marsh]

Level 2 was a bunch of passwords, you can checkup the padlet to see how we link clues together

[visual hatch]

Padlet? Sorry this is my first time participating in something like this XD

[dull marsh]

Yes, this is the image we got after solving T3, so it contains clues about Level 3

[visual hatch]

I think i found something
