[deep dust]

possiblely turn the videos audio into a graph to search for hidden messages

[quartz sundial]

how do 🥺

[deep dust]

cant rember what doing it is exactly called

[quartz sundial]

spectrograph?

[leaden hound]

is FEAR an abbreviation? or a location/object/creature?

the possibilities

[quartz sundial]

what in the lore has to do with fear

@ loreclaw

[deep dust]

i believe

[unborn knot]

Literally everything

[pseudo lantern]

INTRUDER

[quartz sundial]

💀

[leaden hound]

mixpackers scare me

[unborn knot]

Even the CRABS. arnt safe.

[pseudo lantern]

entire file is about unexpected fear responses

[leaden hound]

try mixpackers_suck

[tribal bobcat]

The game video is fake?

[deep dust]

do you not find running into any tisso scary

[quartz sundial]

na i could take it

[acoustic osprey]

Giant cement building

[deep dust]

lol

[acoustic osprey]

Deimos

[ionic sable]

The animation matches almost exactly with the clip of the stream I have.

[deep dust]

ye but electrity be hot and storage system need to be massive you would need like a nuclear power plant to run a data center storeing multiple generations of 100s of creatures full genome

[pseudo lantern]

What in the lore doesn't somehow relate to fear in some way?

[lethal moat]

Mendys

[civic pollen]

hacker... you've had a clip of the stream this whole time?

[acoustic osprey]

I am curious on stuff like TOMB,

How they store things like that

[quartz sundial]

i mean is there anything really specific? like, a greek god of fear being mentioned or something

[pseudo lantern]

former mendy here

[deep dust]

probably in crystals tbh

[pseudo lantern]

that's what I woulda did

[granite mist]

[leaden hound]

i’m about to flip

[ionic sable]

Going frame by frame the only weirdness is the sound of the keyboard not matching with the typing, fully consistent background audio, and them typing out the drive command was a little strange with a delay on audio and input. However, beyond that it lines up very close.

[acoustic osprey]

We shall see!

[quartz sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/df-he-dont-gaf-me-when-i-blue-jelly-blob-gif-4578958781231696766

[deep dust]

using lasers to direct read it and edging it on in a 3d way to maximise space usage

[ionic sable]

Then again, we dont have any footage beyond the actual screen to access it, so I cant crossreference the validity of the console itself.

[ionic sable]

Sorry what?

[quartz sundial]

you had a clip of the stream this whole time?

[leaden hound]

CLIP OF STREAM, ENLIGJTEN USSS

[civic pollen]

we didnt think anyone had a clip of the stream SIR

[ionic sable]

Alright chat its pretty late im gonna head to bed.

[deep dust]

but the thing is the isle is like 90’s from mersey so the technology would be holding them back

[acoustic osprey]

Thanks hacker

[quartz sundial]

GET HIM

[leaden hound]

HACKER NOO

[lethal moat]

Mods, tear him limb from limb

[acoustic osprey]

Hacker banned for gatekeeping

[fading moat]

I could be misremembering but I recall dondi and amarok talking in one of dondis past streams (kind of recently for a dondi stream) about amarok making a little arcade game in the editor for fun so I think its real

[civic pollen]

mods, send hacker to tartarus.

[quartz sundial]

this thing was apparently made by amarok, according to dondi on the stream

Did rumple really compare AE to amazon 😭

[tribal bobcat]

So this lore hunt turned out to be a game? Or was that dude faking it on yt?

[deep dust]

i realy want to know what tomb is like tho, they must have some cool plan for it

[acoustic osprey]

Well it is still a lore terminal
And clearly unfinished

[fading moat]

It looks like there is 2 games in the place we are trying to get into

[civic pollen]

i can't believe hacker betrayed us

[granite mist]

When it’s all over. It will be about the friends we made along the way.

[deep dust]

or are just praying that no one playing the isle understands high level physics and computer stuff

[quartz sundial]

good find

im gonna kill hacker

[acoustic osprey]

The most important part of lore hunt

[quartz sundial]

first he refuses to use the epic avatar mocha made for him, now this

😡 😡 😡

[civic pollen]

truly

[deep dust]

he what, how dare he

[young sphinx]

What’s the code so that I can see the secrets

[quartz sundial]

we're tryina find out

[tribal bobcat]

Gotcha, so probably more lore to come in the future/near future possibly 🙏

[acoustic osprey]

Ye

And likely related or put in it

[tribal bobcat]

Oh !

[young sphinx]

[quartz sundial]

are we gonna have to figure out a new password every time they add something new i wonder

[acoustic osprey]

I hope this relates to the idea i had about storing lore in a menu like EXTRAS

But way cooler

[granite mist]

and just remember the people held at 🔫 . 😅

[deep dust]

i just realised why you retired and what that mean?

[quartz sundial]

i used to be a mod/admin

[deep dust]

ye it be cool and make the hole game feel more interactive

[deep dust]

so your like an insider xD

[quartz sundial]

😈

[deep dust]

y got the jussy knowledge

[quartz sundial]

i aint got no lore drops tho

[deep dust]

dam

[civic pollen]

we wouldn't need to remember hacker if he just shared. >:)

BROTHA

the holy grail

[quartz sundial]

THIS WHOLE TIME

[granite mist]

Told y’all 4

[deep dust]

i can’t get it to load what is it?

[granite mist]

It’s changed

[quartz sundial]

so where does that leave us 😭

you type "apollo" when connecting to a server to make the password prompt come up

[lethal moat]

Or the video is fake

[granite mist]

15 characters. Stay on track.

[unborn knot]

Zeus

[lethal moat]

Or it's individual to people

[leaden hound]

in conclusion, unsolvable

[granite mist]

That would exclude people. Devs wouldn’t do that.

[deep dust]

lol someone drop me what’s in the video lol i got to know 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[lethal moat]

It's 4 digits

[civic pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/well-there-it-is-jeff-goldblum-gif-14058551

[leaden hound]

nuh uh i trust the vid its 15!!

[quartz sundial]

arcade games!!!!!!!

[leaden hound]

we know they are updating it as the patches come out, so its defientely plausible that they just changed the password

[civic pollen]

[ionic sable]

Damn, you're ruining my whole villainous scheme.

[sweet kite]

i pitied them

[leaden hound]

thank you

[ionic sable]

That is fair, but they are undeserving of pity.

[deep dust]

Hex i on my knees begging

[leaden hound]

[deep dust]

what’s in it lol pls

[ionic sable]

Whelp, guess its just time for me to take it a step further and find the password, and then keep it hidden.

The race is on lads, Im staying up all night.

As anyone tried Tartarus for password?

[radiant talon]

the pins have a document full of passwords that have been tried

[olive cape]

Thank you

I dont see “Enter” been tried

It would be hilarious if it something that simple

[radiant talon]

open sesame

xD

[olive cape]

🤣

What about other name variations for Tartarus

Some that came up
Was

• The Pit
• The Abyss

Other ideas from watching isle lore videos

• Olympus
• Incident report
• Gen 1
• Mainframe
• Corporation - CORP

Could also try specific dates

[radiant talon]

hey how do i do the password thingy cus whenever i try it just beeps at me but nothing pops up lol.

also im on hordetest version idk if it works in that?

[dapper marsh]

When joining a server type 'apollo' and it'll show up, in HT only

[arctic siren]

Wait so did people find the password

[fallen estuary]

''we will find the password by morning''

[dapper marsh]

No we got a stream clip from when dondi put in the password

yeah idk either

wheres our teamwork gone </3

[neon gorge]

idk how simple/complex it is

[dapper marsh]

I would sign a thousand life contract for this

[pseudo lantern]

do not sign the thousand life contract

[valid geyser]

lasts a long time

[lethal moat]

I’d sign the thousand life contract for other things

[pseudo lantern]

how long

[valid geyser]

like, above a year

[ionic sable]

I can think of a few things I would sign the contract for.

[lethal moat]

Samesies

[pseudo lantern]

I reckon I could burn through a thousand in under a year

[valid geyser]

woah

[lethal moat]

Is that what the contract stipulates though

Do you get the privlage of deciding what life you live

i'll get lucky and get hypsi every time, trust

[pseudo lantern]

well
I do get to decide

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/lizard-gif-21587276

[pseudo lantern]

Actually about what time did the thousand life contract mention show up?

because if it was in progression days there's significantly less choosing there

[neon gorge]

are more people in the know now

[valid geyser]

of what?

[tranquil flume]

hmm

[lethal moat]

I think the thousand life contract is my favorite bit of lore overall

Matriarch close behind as my favorite AE project

[tranquil flume]

i cant tell if im tired or if im hearing it correctly

[pseudo lantern]

peppermint mocha

what if instead of peppermint mocha it was peppermint michael

[valid geyser]

hmmm

[neon gorge]

is it 15

[tranquil flume]

oh

maybe

[valid geyser]

the amount of letters in the password? i've heard its 15, yea

[neon gorge]

acording to the arcade vid...

[valid geyser]

or at least its 15 lil dots long

[neon gorge]

that then lead to Thousand Life Contract

i have tried Anthony Casalena

[valid geyser]

didnt that lead to Welcome to the Isle?

[pseudo lantern]

it lead to Welcome to the Isle

[neon gorge]

oh yeah

then Rumple sent the other for spotify

[dapper marsh]

hearing what corectly

[valid geyser]

mhm

im tryna think of what Welcome to the Isle means and i've been listening to it on loop

i.. do we only have the fact that its 15 characters and welcome to the isle related?

[pseudo lantern]

I personally do not trust either 4 or 15

4 was a demonstration and 15 is a plant

[valid geyser]

the video that is likely true had 15 characters in it when inputting the passcode

man I thought the ping was for the update coming out , also how would I have not seen you ping @formal mural

[neon gorge]

i would not have guess islander was part of it...

[regal horizon]

Cause why would you check the lore chat 😂

[arctic siren]

ay have we gotten the password then

[elder notch]

I liked it, its funny

[neon gorge]

or at least A password

[tranquil flume]

we def read too deep into it XD

[arctic siren]

So you guys finally have it yeah?

[neon gorge]

it works

[dapper marsh]

ya

[elder notch]

yup

[arctic siren]

Ay I can finally post the video

[neon gorge]

but then it times out quickly

[tranquil flume]

i have the bug

im exploring

[sand basin]

oh shi we in the lore chat

[regal horizon]

[sand basin]

@hexed forge should be in here than

[neon gorge]

omg i cant type fast enough to do anything

[elder notch]

It close so fast

[dapper marsh]

fr xd

[neon gorge]

question is do we just keep it to lore chat

[sand basin]

if

turkish does a vid on it it def aint staying here

[neon gorge]

lets have it be sent out by those who are looking for it

[arctic siren]

I had a video showing it off from when we all got the password, was a day or two now, unlisted on youtube. Just waiting for more people to get it so we can show it off.

[tranquil flume]

damn

[neon gorge]

ahh nice

[twin shale]

I spent the whole day checking information about infrasound and trying to enter a bunch of random passwords, and in the end, the password turned out to be something like qwerty12345

[tranquil flume]

found an interesting screen

[sand basin]

yea I know I saw it xD wasn't meant as anything like bad just a its gonna be public anyways which is fine 😂

[tranquil flume]

can't interact with it tho

[neon gorge]

got to coppy paste the code to do anything as you have to wait

oh wow

if only you could join a full server and still do it so you have more time

[sand basin]

imagine

we aint getting lore but a mini game for the queue 😂

[arctic siren]

Use the qa server, takes ages to get into it
Passoword ` (4 times)

[tranquil flume]

i bugged the connection lol

[neon gorge]

yeah i just get kicked right as i put in apollo

[arctic siren]

ah

[twin shale]

You can turn off your internet connection after entering password to stay on the terminal screen longer

[dapper marsh]

When are you uploading your vid on it?

[tranquil flume]

-# double clicking on the server in the list could potentially get you in that infinite connect loop

[neon gorge]

how long did it take you TD to get it

[valid geyser]

The one time we want the infinite connecting bug

[tranquil flume]

it happens to me so much idk why

i have to spam the connect button to get in most of the time

[neon gorge]

where is the more time patch

[lavish stratus]

How did you get to this screen?

[tranquil flume]

I exited the program

Wasnt able to get back in or interact further tho

[lavish stratus]

well i set a high score for goat_gobbler.exe

100% not ai

hmmm

i thought its ai

[stark yoke]

legend

[regal horizon]

Mmmmm pretty sure it's cartoon animated

[fast forge]

you know what channel you are in, right?

[arctic siren]

The main thing to remember that when Talking about it the devs said this was meant to be a fun secret we could find.
This seems to be a thing where when waiting for a server you can go into the terminal and do some stuff.
Likely down the line the Lore parts of this will be updated as things get added.

So yeah don't get me wrong I felt the same feeling, hence why I took responsibility in that video for potentially getting people too hyped.
Just lets see what gets said about it.

[formal mural]

must be a weird cartoon

[viscid bluff]

i can read i just dont know the lore

[hexed forge]

[river marsh]

What if different passwords opened different terminals from different characters? So some you might find research on one thing, and then research on a different thing, instead of one password being for all

[hexed forge]

There’s only one password for the current terminal ingame iirc

[craggy ice]

How do you even get the menu to stay open long enough to enter prompts, it closes for me and connects to the server

[fast forge]

Welcome, Icelander

[shrewd tundra]

the password was found, right?

[native vault]

welcomeislander

[shrewd tundra]

i highly doubt thats it

[dapper marsh]

It is, we've been in

[shrewd tundra]

deadass?

[dapper marsh]

Deadass

[native vault]

sadly

what even is there

what did we get?

[dapper marsh]

You barely get any time to check cuz it still just logs you into the game 😭

[shrewd tundra]

damn

[leaden hound]

WE GOT IT??

[dapper marsh]

Aye aye

[native vault]

hell..

[leaden hound]

HOORAY

[dapper marsh]

WOOHOOO

[shrewd tundra]

this is just too silly, i have to check for myself lol

[deft lily]

release is live?

[shrewd tundra]

it wont let me try the apollo thing, says my game is out of date even though it very much isnt

[crystal cairn]

wait you got it a few days ago?

[radiant talon]

it likely is, a few people have been playing on unpudated versions today.

[shrewd tundra]

i quite literally just updated my game

so that isnt the case

[floral python]

NICE

[pulsar moss]

Hey do you thinks there could be something in the D : drive, as it say Logs, documents and communications ? I already tried Logs and documents but it didn't work. or I'm just going crazy and imagining things.

[crystal cairn]

I see

[lethal moat]

That’s a bit of a drag

The entire point of everyone sharing is to get it faster

[quartz sundial]

how did anyone get it so quick

[lethal moat]

It’s not a wild guess

[quartz sundial]

yeah but for the first few days everyone thought it was 4 letters cuz of dondis stream lol

it being 15 didnt cross anyones mind until the FindFEAR vid

[lethal moat]

Ye, not everyone was tricked

[crystal cairn]

yeah, I considered it kind of a fun community thing but for some reason the thought it was withheld makes it seem less so. I'm sure the intention was meant well but just feels a bit... less so

curious the thought process into the password though so, we await the video

[quartz sundial]

i will NEVER trust dondi again 😭 the scars run deep..............

[lethal moat]

Mhm, I made the comparison to hacker of a carrot and a stick, doesn’t really mean anything if it isn’t real

[crystal cairn]

again, I am absolutely positive the good intention was meant from whoever did find it

[lethal moat]

It’s not really figuring it out if someone’s already guessed it, it’s wasting hours of time

[crystal cairn]

bet that little brat CHANGED IT

[granite mist]

I said the password changed. Y'all didnt believe me.

[crystal cairn]

how would you know though?

[quartz sundial]

😡

i dont know u at all so i didnt trust it lol

[lethal moat]

Your credibility is a whopping goose egg

[crystal cairn]

Launch is a good bean, but I wasn't glued to lore chat to see them say that or I would have asked the question I did above "how would you know?"

[lethal moat]

I just assumed they were trolling or making stuff up, because it’s the isle community

Cool

[crystal cairn]

yeah but that doesn't answer the question, how would you know it had changed from what we saw on the stream

[quartz sundial]

rump am i credible 🥺

[lethal moat]

Saying stuff without evidence to back it up means you’re gonna get ignored, even if you’re correct

[lethal moat]

In some regards

[quartz sundial]

🤯

[regal locust]

So funny seeing this thing sortof happen again nearly six years later.

[analog halo]

Data miners?

[regal locust]

https://tenor.com/view/first-time-meme-first-time-the-ballad-of-buster-scruggs-gif-24656975

[lethal moat]

I think they just guessed it early on

[crystal cairn]

I would very much hope not

and do doubt that

[quartz sundial]

and here we were with pages of guesses like "atlas" and "salt" lol

[lethal moat]

Mhm

[crystal cairn]

we're so cute though

"Alan" still my fave

[lethal moat]

All of which could have been easily avoided

[analog halo]

Was fun tho

I WAS POSITIVE

[quartz sundial]

this is the most excited for lore ive been since the old lore streams that interacted with stream chat

[patent ginkgo]

best character

[quartz sundial]

launch do be typin doe

[granite mist]

So did anyone ask the yt video guy how they got the password? I was asleep during that whole thing.

[tranquil flume]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-staring-cat-cat-mr-fresh-fresh-gif-4714710619997780774

[lethal moat]

Rather disappointing conclusion, but fun that it was figured out I guess

[tranquil flume]

I was convinced the passcode was something else ngl

[leaden hound]

i feel betrayed that the password was figured out that early, i guess i understand wanting to let us figure it out ourselves but now its a little hard to trust everyone’s ideas and opinions when it comes to these lore hunts

[crystal cairn]

it was likely meant well, just backfired

[lethal moat]

Yeah, it’s very empty

[crystal cairn]

from those who I think could have been involved, they would not purposely withhold that info with malintent

[leaden hound]

i feel like a true AE employee now

[crystal cairn]

LMAO

[lethal moat]

Still seems unnecessary and hollow, regardless of intent, they had people wasting time that didn’t need to be that way

[fallow harbor]

what

[crystal cairn]

[lethal moat]

Seems like a massive waste of time

[leaden hound]

yeah i was staying up a lot tryna find stuff, now it feels that effort was kinda wasted

[fallow harbor]

wait so people found out the password early and didnt tell?

[quartz sundial]

ye

[leaden hound]

well they did post that video, so i guess they didn’t completely hold it, just thought it would be cool to make it a little more interesting

[lethal moat]

Yeah, you’re involved with it #isle-lore-theories message

[crystal cairn]

correct. there is apparently an unlisted video of them finding it too that hasn't been revealed yet. seems they wanted to give more people a chance to guess it (well intended I imagine)

[tranquil flume]

I had fun, thought it was interesting. There were some good guesses but yeah if people found it early hints would have been nice to hear that we were either close or not at all

[fallow harbor]

that says turk not trunk

[lethal moat]

I am, very tired, my apologies

[quartz sundial]

we know you're secret identity trunk, it's all over 😠

now hand over the lore

[lethal moat]

And I feel like being passive aggressive at Turk, so my bad

[fallow harbor]

well to be fair i was in on it

[lethal moat]

Boi

[fallow harbor]

me, turk and aliens were the first people

[quartz sundial]

this is literally the start of the lore wars

we will break into separate lore factions and fight

[lethal moat]

I haven’t been involved in lore for a good minute

[fallow harbor]

ill send vids

[lethal moat]

?

[crystal cairn]

then why play dumb and ask "wait so people found out the password early and didnt tell?"

I'm starting to get more confused lol

[leaden hound]

grrrrrrr

[lethal moat]

I’m more annoyed than anything

[fallow harbor]

i didnt know u guys found out

[crystal cairn]

nah just people being cheeky and rumple is eepy

[tranquil flume]

Yeah that’s frustrating

[acoustic osprey]

Disappointing password name

[fallow harbor]

we didnt share it because it was data mined info and didnt wanna ruin it for anyone else

[arctic siren]

I am sorry.

[leaden hound]

https://tenor.com/view/imposter-tf2-it-could-be-you-it-could-be-me-spy-gif-23428031

[crystal cairn]

IT'S OKAY TURK

[fallow harbor]

@lethal moat ill send some vids in here of what we found first day

[quartz sundial]

if it was dana mined then i get why it wasnt shared

[crystal cairn]

finally the man with reason is here to reunite us all

[lethal moat]

Ah, even more disappointing

[tranquil flume]

I knew it had to be something obvious i didnt realize it was that obvious

[fallow harbor]

yes, thank you

it was for our own personal cutitosiy, which is why we didnt share it

[quartz sundial]

so is this actually lore or just goofy-aah games

[lethal moat]

It’s silly

[arctic siren]

I just did not want to ruin it for people, as I was told from dataminers so it was ruined for me and it sucked so I just wanted to keep the lore hunt alive you know. I do apologies if this upset people.
If that is why people are dissapointed with me.

[quartz sundial]

its not lore?!?!?!

[crystal cairn]

man that makes more sense why it was withheld I guess

[quartz sundial]

GRRR

[tranquil flume]

Ah those people

[acoustic osprey]

Nothing lore is in it yet

[tranquil flume]

Explains a lot

[lethal moat]

(They are those people)

[quartz sundial]

im gonna lose it

the lore... it was never real

[lethal moat]

Well this has been a tremendous disappointment

[quartz sundial]

it will never BE real

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah
I think Don told us this too early

[quartz sundial]

all that we have is each other.....

[crystal cairn]

if it truly was datamined, then is this person the first person to organically guess it?

[lethal moat]

Not that

[quartz sundial]

and what little time we have left

[lethal moat]

I’m overall very content with the contents of the BIOS menu

[crystal cairn]

er sorry maybe this person??

[tranquil flume]

Yeah makes sense as to why it was found so early. How did hacker find out?

[fallow harbor]

litterlay only content in there

[lethal moat]

He guessed it

[tranquil flume]

Really?? Wow

[quartz sundial]

truly goated hacker

[fallow harbor]

everything else is broken

[lethal moat]

Hacker is cool dude

[tranquil flume]

Based Hacker

[elder notch]

what happened??

[quartz sundial]

hacker will be cool once he assumes mocha's avatar

[fallow harbor]

if we didnt withheld it we woudlve ruined it for othersd

[lethal moat]

This is true

[crystal cairn]

nah you're good. if that is the truth then I 100% understand why you withheld it and were right to do so. the issue comes in some people were being cheeky in here hinting they had found it out/knew it without telling the full story

I do wonder if those two people I tagged above did find it organically though or if it too was datamined guess we may never know

[lethal moat]

You ruined it by taking shortcuts instead of doing what was intended

[crystal cairn]

did you find the password organically or from datamine?

[fallow harbor]

if we shared it i would agree but we didnt. we kept it secret lol. (or did our best ablity to keep it under)

[crystal cairn]

rumple, keeping it secret was the right call I think

[tranquil flume]

I’ll be honest you and hacker threw me off of the passcode and i was trying to find something in the music itself lmao

Beat, lyrics something haha

[fallow harbor]

we just wanted to see stuff in there for ourselves. we didnt share it. it had 0 impact on other people

[crystal cairn]

I don't believe that for a second lol Hacker is always messing with stuff

[fallow harbor]

also u guys were guessing norse mythology names while the name was just "welcomeislander" 😭

[fallow harbor]

bro he def datamined it

[elder notch]

I was talking with the guys in this channel, and we were talking that we have Welcome to the isle and then the islander thing. And figure it out, I was going to say the password but Slam write it down

[crystal cairn]

100%

[lethal moat]

I find dataming in the first place to be in bad faith, but letting people waste hours of time for something that has already been figured out and explored sucks and has me pissy

[quartz sundial]

if they had guessed the password early and kept it hidden then i would feel let down by us figuring it out ourselves, only for them to show up and be like "oh yeah we guessed it days ago lol". But if it was found illegitimately, and kept secret to preserve the integrity of the hunt, then im happy it was kept under wraps

[fallow harbor]

rumple if we put it out there u would say that we ruined the hunt with data mined info. we didnt put the info out there and now ur saying we wasted peoples time...

[arctic siren]

I won't sit here and say I don't get it.
I do. knowing that people knew from looking at a UE file sucks, especially when everyone is working really hard to find the password.
However once the Dataminder leaked it to me and my private server that was it. I made the decision to say if you tell anyone else I ban them and to their credit they did not tell anyone which I am thankful for.

[crystal cairn]

but would you have been MORE upset if it was revealed day 1 in the first few hours?

[crystal cairn]

exactly

[lethal moat]

Not really

[arctic siren]

Like from my perspective someone ruined the lore hunt for me immediately and I tried and kept that dream for the lore hunt alive for everyone else despite that.

[fallow harbor]

thank you for understanding

[crystal cairn]

yeah that sucks, I think you made all the right calls

[fallow harbor]

just to clarifiy i wasnt the one who found the password

[lethal moat]

Tis the curse that comes with taking shortcuts

[fallow harbor]

????

[fallow harbor]

i just did all the snooping in the bios thing (which turned out to be a huge let down)

[crystal cairn]

we can sum up this adventure as "The dangerous side effects of datamining" when it comes to the spirit of gaming

[lethal moat]

I can be frustrated about both

[acoustic osprey]

And to think last year we were disappointed in the lore hunt as well

[fallow harbor]

yeah but its stupid reason to be frustreated

[arctic siren]

Trunk just leave it mate. I don't want this to be a big deal. I get where Rumple is coming from and I hope that he gets that we did not choose to be leaked.
I am just sad that this may have been what people were expecting.

[quartz sundial]

what happened in last years lore hunt

[crystal cairn]

it did cross my mind that someone could datamine it tbh

[lethal moat]

The dibble trail cam

[quartz sundial]

but what was disappointing about it

[fallow harbor]

ohh with the allo plottwist

[lethal moat]

I've never been dissapointed by the contents at the end of a lore hunt

[acoustic osprey]

We get something with basically no lore
It was the Allo teaser camera

[quartz sundial]

lol

[acoustic osprey]

How? Everyone was

It literally gave nothing for us

[lethal moat]

It's all cool, and for fun

[quartz sundial]

is this what it means to be a lore hunter.... always chasing ghosts

[lethal moat]

It was cool and excited the community

[acoustic osprey]

But not this bit of the community

[crystal cairn]

I think "hey this fun little thing" and "actual lore" lines are being muddied when it comes to the community and our hunts

[lethal moat]

Lore hunts don't have to end in more lore, sometimes it can be little easter eggs just for fun

[acoustic osprey]

Is there something strange in the neighbourhood

[fallow harbor]

i have a maybe hot take about the isle lore rn

[quartz sundial]

there something strange in this community every day fr fr

[lethal moat]

Alright? It was still fun and lots of people talked about it, lore people started that, and it was cool

[fallow harbor]

it feels like this mystery has RECENTLY just been used as an excuse for lack of content. this much lack of content isnt mysteryious or fun anymore. just annyoing and feels like a content drought for this part of the gmae

[acoustic osprey]

That's great and all but not what I was talking about

It still gave nothing for us

[tranquil flume]

We got a gameee

[acoustic osprey]

I have expressed how enjoyable it was trying to find it and all

[tranquil flume]

A mini game

[acoustic osprey]

But the end result was the still the end result
Both this and the last

[tranquil flume]

Fnaf vibes fr

[fallow harbor]

i got into isle lore for a bit but then i kinda fell out of love fast cuz i realized the mystery was just mostly a lack of content

[lethal moat]

We warned in advance it's not particularly lore related and was just for fun

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/fnaf-springlock-fnaf-3-springtrap-gif-153674873266153897

[acoustic osprey]

When?

[lethal moat]

In stream, before he logged on

[acoustic osprey]

If this was so, why was no one explaining such

[lethal moat]

It is my baseline expectation to recieve very little, and what little we recieve gives more questions than things it answers, you've been here longer and I'm surprised you're not doing the same

[tranquil flume]

Another mini game tied into the lore would be fun. Especially if we can find a file name in a lore vid or something like that

[fallow harbor]

this is what i mean. this baseline to expect little isnt fun anymore. its not mysteryious anymore. this "mystery" just feels like a copout to not add as much lore content

[lethal moat]

It's an easter egg, not necessarily a lore thing

[quartz sundial]

im waiting for another big lore stream like the one he did ages ago and interacted with the stream chat (i think it was the one that ended in the magna reveal?)

[fallow harbor]

im talking in general not just with this singliular lore hunt

[crystal cairn]

this 100%, it's a really fun lil easter egg

[fallow harbor]

but dude some of the stuff in the lore hunt is litteraly broken, not even thought out

[lethal moat]

Lore has been severely neglected, yeah, but the game hasn't even released yet, I'm not worried, and we'll get what we're looking for eventually

[fallow harbor]

the readme.txt is just broken, it doesnt work how its supposed to

[fallow harbor]

its not mystery, its lack of care and content

[lethal moat]

We get things when we get them, as with all things about this game, the key is patience and measured expectations

[fallow harbor]

we know dondi is sitting on tons and tons of lore info and content

[lethal moat]

Alrigh

[fallow harbor]

i mean if ur having fun thats great

but for most people including me it just feels cheap

[lethal moat]

Lol, nope

[fallow harbor]

amazing lol

[acoustic osprey]

But I am still allowed to have expectations here and there, especially something with lore implications
I was expecting this to have some form of interactiveness and even expressed caution that it might not contain anything

nonetheless
I still must express my disappointment — i feel like this was hinted at too early in production
It is a shame this is in a rough state

[lethal moat]

We are not entitled to anything we have not already received

[lethal moat]

Everything is in a rough state, it's the isle hordetest

[acoustic osprey]

well, should it be?
everything realistically isn't besides UI-ish

[lethal moat]

And even then, these things are subject to change

[acoustic osprey]

and HT was supposed to be a stress test
of course, this has been all diminished the past year

[fallow harbor]

bro even the easter egg was broken... like it wasnt even tested once

[tranquil flume]

Or is it supposed to be broken

[fast forge]

I think it was just a fun little thing without a large time investment

[fallow harbor]

no ill send ss

[vocal relic]

[acoustic osprey]

it's definitely still 'wip'

[vocal relic]

Sorry, pardon my lurkening

[acoustic osprey]

like the terminal itself is a great idea
and if it was supposed to be here only for the arcade, that is a bummer

but
if it is meant to stay. I really hope they don't disregard it to how it is

[lethal moat]

I am not bothered by the content of the easter egg, it was thrown together and not important to anything beyond fun, I'm bothered that I spent time trying to figure it out for someone to go "Lol yeah we datamined it a few hours in"

[fast forge]

100%

[fallow harbor]

would u rather the dataminers post the password in here 2 mins after the update

[fast forge]

Feels like my time was wasted, and it removed the mystery

[fallow harbor]

brother it was kept a secret

[lethal moat]

I'd rather you people have the patience and integrety to either not do it or say nothing at all

[tranquil flume]

It’s like the elder requirements just let it be a mystery

[fast forge]

I would rather that the dataminers just don't do this kind of crappy behavior

[lethal moat]

mhm

[fast forge]

Sister, not from me

[acoustic osprey]

doesn't help when elder requirements are still invisible, though

i have my issues with that but that ain't lore

[fast forge]

someone was saying they datamined that in the last week

[lethal moat]

You did take a shortcut and remove the joy from someone else putting in effort to actually find stuff, regardless of how poorly you tried to keep it under wraps

[pale marsh]

i like when things are a mystery, granted, i dont find the game fun enough, for solving said mystery to be any fun

[fallow harbor]

how did u guys find the passowrd, who shared it

[fallow harbor]

i didnt data mine it

[lethal moat]

Hacker

[acoustic osprey]

that or that they added a new requirement?

[fallow harbor]

right so none of us had contact with hacker

[lethal moat]

My apologies "you people"

[fast forge]

No there was someone talking about the newest changes to prime requirements

Saying certain animals have different requirements and stuff

[fallow harbor]

so we were told it and kept it a secret. it was spoiled for us to

[acoustic osprey]

oh yes

[fallow harbor]

and we prevented it from being spoiled to the public

[desert mountain]

Guys how do i play goat gobbler 😭😭😭

[lethal moat]

You have already chosen to associate yourself with that person, it's a bit late to be playing the virtue card

[lethal moat]

Type "apollo" while connecting to server then "welcomeislander" in the password slot

[fallow harbor]

???????????????????????????????? what a dumb argument. ur treating a dataminer like the worst person in the world

anyways i dont think this convo is gonna go anywhere, best to drop it

[desert mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/kaden-bear-walk-gif-7458441216561741282

[lethal moat]

There are certainly worse people, but they did ruin my entertainment

[fallow harbor]

i hope to see more lore stuff soon

[fast forge]

Still I think it's bad that people in our community are doing this kind of stuff, and any time I give pushback people have a million weak excuses

"It's the devs fault for not hiding it better"

Yeah sure if I forget to lock my back door, it's my fault I get robbed, and not on the robbers

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/temp-gif-7523059503297649563

but how else will someone grab all the lossless isle ost music... 😔

codex ii...

[lethal moat]

This is part of why I deleted lorecord, there are too many people that care more about the end product and having it now instead of just getting things when they're ready

[acoustic osprey]

I do want to have a conversation with Dondi about it
I wonder how tedious it would be to scramble stuff like this

[tranquil flume]

Or add it to outside sources that cant be datamined

[fast forge]

They should probably remember to lock their back door

But as members of this community we can only change players behavior by speaking out, and saying this is gross behavior when it happens

[lethal moat]

An isle arg website would be dope

[desert mountain]

Guys what happened? Why we mad this time?

[lethal moat]

Yes

[fast forge]

Like I had SO MANY people saying that it was fine, actually, that people datamined rex early

[lethal moat]

Dataminers ruined it for others

[fallow harbor]

i coudlve sworn a fanmade one exist(ed)s

[tranquil flume]

Austro, allo too

[desert mountain]

They leaked the password?

[acoustic osprey]

Kadins one not really
but Vraptor made something once

[acoustic osprey]

they do have their backdoor locked from what i know
but its more like having to get the key redone every week

[fast forge]

btw is apollo terminal returning?

Should I stop paying for it?

[native vault]

fr..

[lethal moat]

We're all above 13, most of us adults, lets have some patience and curate who we're friends with to avoid this happening in the future please

[acoustic osprey]

I think probably ok to stop
I believe Kadin is more occupied with work then Isle at the moment
so it is hard for him to work on it

and he also said in lorecord that he was in convo with Dondi
so maybe we'll get something out of it

[desert mountain]

Can't have nothing in the isle community man

[acoustic osprey]

also the site provider was DDoSed

[fast forge]

it's literally cheaper for me than a cup of coffee so it's not a big deal, but if it's not coming back I'd rather have the money

[acoustic osprey]

i mean
the terminal was great, mostly a great idea
I am not annoyed at the dataminers, because i am spoilt too much by other means.
So this isn't my first rodeo, although different scenario

I think it is a bummer that we got it now
I say the same thing about UI overhaul and wish for it to be further improved upon, but we can only see

i think the biggest problem was that it is green and not blue

(by far the biggest insult 💔 😔 )

[acoustic osprey]

fair fair
i think i'll ping Kadin and get a better answer then @tardy oak (about the apolloterminal server) 🤔

[crystal cairn]

how dare they

[fast forge]

eh, I think lot of old computers had one color for BIOS stuff, but could display a greater color range

[crystal cairn]

my first computer was black with orange letters I think (I am old)

[acoustic osprey]

this is supposed to be relating the funny AUGUSTUS (and alike) terminals
I need my blue

[fast forge]

Just let me know, as I said it's not a huge deal. I think I already paid for this month, and if you find that it's coming back it might be easier to leave it up for now

[acoustic osprey]

🙏

[desert mountain]

Tbf would the whole terminal idea works on the first UI? The ui we got now is probably a rushed version of the one dondi showed last year, because they dont seen to have found a proper UI designer, it was needed in order for us to get this little "easter egg" (it's an educated guess from me, nothing more)

[lavish stratus]

Im hoping we get to use a terminal ingame like as a human and have to take keycards around the map/floppy disks or such would be SO MUCH fun to learn more abt the lore honestly

[lethal moat]

Yeah, it's always been just a silly community thing, nothing of much importance

[acoustic osprey]

i think it would
either as something hidden or not

it quite literally could replace EXTRAS with no harm

[lethal moat]

Yessss

[fast forge]

My first personal computer (not shared with family) was like that

I remember playing old ASCII adventure games, and of course Sargon chess

[lavish stratus]

Just imagine a group of you and like 5 pals in a jeep or something gets ROLLED over by a rex and ur praying for hte person with the disk to LIVE

[torn monolith]

dataminers are fun ruiners tho

[crystal cairn]

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe for me and Sim City 2000

[lethal moat]

Loot the corpse of your buddy for their PDA

[lavish stratus]

LMFAO

[acoustic osprey]

ignore his blood

[fast forge]

Mine was very outdated even when I had it in the 90's, could not even run something like sim city

[fast forge]

Steal your buddy's Public Display of Affection

[desert mountain]

Well, regardless, i hope we don't stick with this one for too long like the older one, there's still massive room for improvement (i also remembered they want to do tutorials before chaging evrima with legacy, so a new UI was also important for it)

[lethal moat]

Troodon kisses! ^^ :3 uwu owo

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
the hope is that they work on UI more after it gets dropped to Evrima but before they put it on main branch

(because, we it seems that we aren't getting a more finalised UI overhaul this update)

[lavish stratus]

the game is 10x scarier as human esp when you cant see nothign or hear them coming, But Im hoping night vision goggles exist/ infrared would be neat

[fast forge]

Admins avoiding swear filter smh my head

[lethal moat]

fricken hecc

[fast forge]

[lethal moat]

[torn monolith]

do we know much about humans other than they are coming and will have some items, are they meant to find these items or craft them or something??

[acoustic osprey]

eh, stinky gif

[native vault]

im getting somewhere

i got into the audio library

now i needa figure out what command i need to do to acc get something

[acoustic osprey]

put in DIR

DIR is probably the most important command to know the contents of the drive for

[fallow harbor]

dude its all empty

except for this one game

[arctic siren]

come on man let him find that out lol

[acoustic osprey]

they will survive
and also no quests

[torn monolith]

so pretty much we know nothing haha

[acoustic osprey]

yeah

[torn monolith]

rip

[lethal moat]

It's just the little game thingos

[fast forge]

FNC too

[acoustic osprey]

(just in regards to this terminal though)

[native vault]

the fact the devs put nothing in here but a single game that barley works is mad.

development cannot be that hard 😭

[tardy oak]

Yeah just been busy with work plus an framework for an Isle server

[torn monolith]

it is THAT hard

[fast forge]

It's bonus stuff my guy

They have more important stuff to work upon

"this thing that I know nothing about can't be that hard"

[kindred bobcat]

This just sounds like the "X should be illegal, it doesn't hurt me in any way but it makes me mad that some people might enjoy this in private in their own home"

[native vault]

im talking about purley the UI side of things.

atleast give us an audio or barry or something

That i know isnt that hard

[fast forge]

It ruins the spirit my guy

Make all the excuses you want, it sucks and it's gross behavior

[native vault]

Code ui to bring up more ui or perhaps an audio file does not take long at all

[kindred bobcat]

leaking it, but wasnt the entire thing that they werent leaking it?

[lavish stratus]

No everything in development is hard honestly, Thats why peopel usually specialize in one field like Programming/Ui generation/Sound EFX etc

[lethal moat]

It's not illegal, it is a shortcut to something that could be earned honestly though, I view it much the same as mixpacking

[kindred bobcat]

It can be that hard, what confuses me is just why they added this when it had nothing and is in a state where it is barely accessible

[lethal moat]

The joy of lore hunts is finding something new, even if they didn't leak it, they took that joy of finding something from other people

[lethal moat]

It's a fun little easter egg, not meant to be important

[native vault]

Hard no not at all if your half decent, time consuming OFC i do 3D it is very time consuming but i know for a fact spending maybe 3 hours in 1 day would be enough to get this done, maybe not with working mini games but the Ui aspect 10000%

[fast forge]

"It's okay to cheat, as long as other people don't find out"

Nah man cutting to the end of the maze goes against the spirit of it, even if no one else finds out

[acoustic osprey]

my 'biggest' strife is just why does it have to be shown this early

I kinda wish it had some more work on it
As it seems like it'll be useful for actual lore

but oh well

[kindred bobcat]

I think its quiet okay to use motherload in sims lol

[kindred bobcat]

Right, but on the stream it showed as in it having a lot of data....

[lethal moat]

He specifically said it's nothing big on stream

[kindred bobcat]

Ig, but it looked to have actual apollo stuff, it doesnt

[acoustic osprey]

at least not yet

[lethal moat]

I'd like more lore stuff, yeah, but that's not really something we get currently

I imagine we'll likely get a mountain all at once we have to find and sift through in game

[fast forge]

It was a community thing that could have brought isle players together

Instead people are cheating to find the answer, and only sharing it with friends, which pulled people out of the community activity

[crystal cairn]

could a document, like a glance sheet, be datamined as an asset in game? I dont know much about what can be datamined, but from genshin/honkai they can in fact datamine models. I ask because, remember that one mutation that lets us read human documents? what if the put the lore ON documents in games, and then we needed that mutation to read it

[acoustic osprey]

hopefully future 'events' have a bit more of a lore-themed clues as well
if we get any more... but still

The password is a bit weird
not out of place for the isle
but just weird for something 'lore people' were supposed to be find

[acoustic osprey]

probably
unless they scramble it (PLEASE)

[crystal cairn]

this could be a way to safeguard lore from datamining is my idea

like if the password was on a glance sheet, or document IN game that you needed a mutation to be able to decipher

[acoustic osprey]

rename "important lore file"
to "unimportant lore file yawn"

to confuse the dataminers

[crystal cairn]

idk the depths datamining go, but trying to think of ways to keep it safe

[lethal moat]

Or people could

Not datamine

[acoustic osprey]

all i can imagine, is just giving it some sort of randomised and jumbled name that is hid somewhere

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/why-isnt-it-posssible-its-just-not-american-psycho-gif-26353597

[kindred bobcat]

If you datamine youre probably not gonna do that tho

[quartz sundial]

Ppl are always gonna datamine in the same sense that ppl are always gonna hack and mixpack

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
people want to know values, know secrets, GET MUSIC!!!, and the list goes on

knowing that
They either keep those things in normally and don't hide
or they hide it, however possible

[lethal moat]

I'm just saying, turk and trunk are both pretty well respected youtubers, I expected better of them and continue to expect better of others

[crystal cairn]

I know things that honkai/genshin do if its important, is they don't release the patch until THE DAY OF - said thing. but even still, you have to make sure to avoid media to protect yourself from youtubers or redditors who may put "OMG XYZ DIED" in the title of their post 2 hours later

[fast forge]

I watched as the other lore folks just disappeared from the conversation, so don't tell me it didn't affect it

[lethal moat]

Well actually, not turk, I know he was pretty early on the rex datamine thing

[fast forge]

That doesn't mean we shouldn't speak out when our community is engaging in gross behavior

That's literally how you curb that behavior, by talking about it

If you throw up your hands like it's an impossible problem, nothing gets better

[crystal cairn]

it is impossible and will be even as the game becomes more popular. it is a huge issue in honkai/genshin

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair
Isle and a lot of games put stuff early in the games, as literal internal stress testing
I don't think lore is important enough to change Afterthoughts ways with it, sadly

[crystal cairn]

so I don't think calling out players is the answer, which is why I'm asking questions about how to better safeguard information

[fast forge]

Honestly I was saddened that no one seemed to care about the datamined rex stuff. Taking an artist's work and dropping it early in an unfinished state was gross, and yet the community just gave every excuse for it

[torn monolith]

huge issue in a lot of online games too, leaks and datamining...

[fast forge]

I think that's important, but if I see people doing bad things I'm gonna say "that's bad, don't do that"

[crystal cairn]

I peak datamined character models for genshin/honkai and it just gets me more excited for those characters. but for actual story???? dear god no hide that

[quartz sundial]

honky star rail

[crystal cairn]

seeing a baby austro model gets me hyped. hearing about datamined story/lore makes me less so

[crystal cairn]

honk

[fast forge]

Especially when it was a community challenge

[quartz sundial]

Are the high scores for the goat gobbler arcade only on your client, or can I see other people’s scores when I log in

[lavish stratus]

only yours sadly

[quartz sundial]

[acoustic osprey]

yeah seems to be client side

[lavish stratus]

its ok tho just flex em in chat

[acoustic osprey]

my high score is at 6000, roughly, i think

[lavish stratus]

o.0?

[lethal moat]

I'm sure they don't care

[acoustic osprey]

the rex is a pain
sometimes you can run away and sometimes you can't

[lavish stratus]

How did you manage to play without connecting to a server? i never figured it out myself cause it only happened once?

[crystal cairn]

how do I unlock compy

[acoustic osprey]

because client side
i just turned off the internet

sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't it seems

[fast forge]

Still good to embarrass people when they do bad things

It might be a sisyphean task, but I can't help it

[lethal moat]

I love public shaming as a form of punishment, really only works if they're within the established community though, so this is one of the few instances where it actually works

[acoustic osprey]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/855527844670865438/1451167689010708591/frog.gif

[quartz sundial]

can we make hacker a prominent public figure so we can shame him into using the raccoon avatar

[acoustic osprey]

true
does not have it on yet

will he ever...

[kindred bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-side-eye-meme-tiktok-the-pointer-brothers-gif-13730785519279791710

[lethal moat]

Yesss

[lethal moat]

Doesn't work for hackers, they don't give any hecks
But these are pretty established youtubers who have chosen to associate with people who take shortcuts and mess with files instead of putting forward genuine effort like everyone else, they brought this information to the stage, I just have the ability to throw tomatos
It's my personal opinion that those who datamined the rex absolutely should be banned, play the game as was intended and do things the proper way or fuck off and leave those trying to have fun alone

[quartz sundial]

what was the rex datamine

[tranquil flume]

TOMATOEZ

[lethal moat]

People adding rex to unofficial servers before ht

[quartz sundial]

ooooh

cringe!

[fierce tinsel]

chat wat is tha lorehunt of the password? idk nuthin

[acoustic osprey]

if you already know how to get the password prompt
type in welcomeislander

[fierce tinsel]

ok

[acoustic osprey]

if you don't

press on a sever
when you're on the loading screen (says link.system ...)

coping

[desert mountain]

Devs said who beat the game is getting early access to austro (it's a joke, they never said this)

[timid cliff]

why didnt previous scores save? 😢

[torn monolith]

i doubt it would save your high score due to it being secret mini game, would take unnecessary space

[fierce tinsel]

guys how do you get into the minigaem without joining before typin it

[torn monolith]

disconnect your internet

[fierce tinsel]

AH

NOIOOO

aw man i forgot to type the R

[ionic sable]

A trick I learned last night was to intentionally throttle your internet speed, it wont just kill the connection outright, it'll try and connect for far longer.

Can get it to last for a few minutes.

[timid cliff]

lol

yall be silly

[fierce tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/new-girl-what-what-do-you-mean-confused-huh-gif-25539028

[ionic sable]

The QA server wasnt accessible last night since it was on a different version

[timid cliff]

right. but we are here. now. todays.
