i think the values of the countdown is also best to be examined or atleast documented, it maybe useful unless proven otherwise in the future, just best to be sure
 
currently these are the values i've collected are 1, .97, .96, .9, .85, .82, .75, .7, .68, .62, .6

though i dont yet know the time they appeared

Helldivers 2 Meridia ARG:

Isn't the whole point of any ARG to be overly complicated thing for nerds? These things usualy aren't done in a day. 

100%.... what complicated thing are we supposed to? There isn't one.

Also, don't be so confident - when the timers go down, we'll be given a bit of lore to hint at something, maybe a skin and it will be done. Calling it now.

I’m an idiot, wth does ARG mean?

I missed all the previous ARGs and while I appreciate the 'waiting' might be a little frustrating - I'm glad its not all done in 3 days or I'd have missed the boat entirely. Again. 

Love that they do this though, reminds me of old school point/click adventure games.

ChatGPT prediction for the counter numbers (multiplied by 100 for simplicity): 100, 97, 96, 90, 85, 82, 75, 70, 68, 62, 60, 57, 54, 53, 47, 42, 39, 32, 27, 25, 19, 17, 14, 11, 10, 4, 0

 

Appears to be wrong, actual numbers are 100, 97, 96, 90, 85, 82, 75, 70, 68, 62, 60, 57, 56...

Which one do you mean? 
Cyclum took couple days of slowly showing the comics before we could do a thing. 
Methueus for first 6(?) days was only slowly showing more and more of the paintings on the wall, before we could do a thing with it. 

I agree, this time there seems to be no indication, that anything is shown more every day, but also countdown seems not be fully time-based, but have some more behind it. Maybe we just don't get what we need to do in order for the fire to be put down faster.

The entire Metheus line, including Cyclum. I'm not saying there was no waiting, I'm saying we weren't staring at a screen with literally no idea what to do for four straight days. The current conversation is about whether or not ARGs are supposed to be so excruciatingly difficult that nobody can figure out even the first single step of them for nearly a week, or if we're supposed to just wait. I think we're supposed to just wait.

I'm ngl. This is probably one of the worst ways to starts an arg. All that hype just collided straight into a brick wall. Waiting a full week to progress from a simple screen flip is honestly baffling. There isn't anything we can do while we wait, there isn't any speculation or intrigue. It's just sitting here and watching a timer go down absent mindedly. I know that the rest of arg will be better, but this start isn't it dog.

at least it's more fun than the update itself, where we got some turfs and jars lul

That'd be even worse. The ARG is so stupidly difficult that dozens of people going so far as to investigate the page's html code haven't found anything in 3 days? The whole ARG is going to be for super turbo nerds, I'm not gonna be able to do anything on my own, I need to look at a guide to follow along. 

it's impossible to find anything in the code bc everything that hasn't been discovered yet happens on the server

I've noticed a few times i was clicking around, i was able to drag only the top panel but not the lower panel, or i could drag only the hourglass and not its background, etc ..
Has anyone else found anything like this? .. the cursor reacting differently to dragging different parts around the page 

I'm finding mixed results in trying to replicate,
where dragging the Hourglass into the Sun is what I hope to try next, 
but haven't been able to drag the Hourglass around for a while, since rebooting my PC overnight friday night 

Some screenshots from the Next of Kin animated short.. it really caught my attention when I noticed the circled numbering 1 to 4 on the chalkboard is backwards! Which has me thinking it's 4 components, moments in time, items, tools, etc.. that we need to find, or identify? maybe we're on step 1 of 4?
