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.

Yeah i'm completely over it ahah. 

Cheers for the future skin we'll get when we're finished but tbh the ARG has been the main bulk of the update it seems. Bit boring.

It definitely feels very disappointing. I assume the idea was to have people observe how the image changes with time, but when the changes in question are just fire going slightly lower and the hourglass changing very slightly, it's hard to even care about it happening.

guys, the ARG didn´t evene start yet, don´t be so negative. Im positive it will be awesome when the real part of it shows to us

Thinking about how they used to hide secret URLs in trailers, could there be anything in the newest trailer?

Maybe!

now conutdown says 0.7

[thalleouss2021]

So I changed it for the night and first the fire was higher and then lower and it stayed that way

i assume it just takes a bit to check the counter

[GlooooomerBzzt]

countdown just turned to 0.68 2 minutes ago

[theonlyvault76]

has the hourglass changed at all visually?

[Ridley]

The factory has been burning so long, there won't be any lore left! 

[Waywarbler]

Of course... the new Bearger Fur Roll skin represents what we're supposed to do! Sleep until the next step opens up in a few days!

I was there on the first day of the thing and I was excitedly thinking about where to click and what to do. Eventually I gave up and now I've completely forgotten about it. Genuinely do not understand the point of this. The only thing this has done is tell me "There is no game to play, there is nothing to solve. When the hourglass finishes don't waste time investigating anything on your own because there's probably another roadblock you can do nothing about, so just read to see what to do". That's what I'm getting from this.

If the ARG isn't ready yet just don't release it yet. This is just teaching people not to care about it.

Or maybe there's something and no one has discovered it yet...

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. 

[efgi]

Seems like the timer has been at 0.68 for a long while now. Longer than previous increments. Is there something we're supposed to be doing to advance the timer?

[pawel0926]

O.O it updated  now its 0.62

[pawel0926]

ooo the fire is even lower now

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

[TiMKroyer]

It turned 0.62 just now

No, the previous ARG was easy. And there's quite a big difference between doing the entire ARG in a day and not even getting to the first step over the course of 4 days.

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.
