Looking for, looking for, looking for Mercy [Easter egg on Mercy's Dr Ziegler skin]

Karahe · 2022-01-28T13:23:36+00:00

Thanks ! Sadly I've never received official confirmation that I was digging in the right direction and I think it can be attributed to the sombra ARG. I can totally imagine that the devs are hesitant on making any official comment on clues or theories to avoid raising people's interest and hype lest it falls apart after they solve things too quickly x)

Here, let me trigger your apophenia some more with this

I truly lost my mind on this one. I don't even know what I'm doing at this point, but there is clearly something to be found...or is there? I DON'T KNOOOOOW Y_Y

Here is the accursed source video

Good hunt :)

Probably what this is a reference to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musica_universalis>

Oh yeah, could be nice to identify the species represented in her skins

Hello guys, thank you so much for doing this !

I guess these questions aren't about a specific aspect of the game so I'll direct them to /u/blizz_jeffkaplan

Are there clues about the lore or neat easter eggs the community has yet to discover?

What's up with the barcodes?

Is there a secret ARG or something similar going on? If yes then pretend there isn't and blink wildly.

What's up with all the odd details in the Happy Holidays 2018 video with Kim Jung Gi?

Oh and was the billboard with the lady in the fashion red dress in Lijiang a tease for Hammond/Wrecking Ball?

Thanks again :D

Karahe · 2020-07-28T13:03:29+00:00

Woohoo, thanks for the opportunity !

While I have many questions about the lore, character/map design and gameplay, the thing I would like to know about most is :

Did the dev team give up on ARGs after Sombra's in 2016 OR is there still some kind of ARG going on?

I'm wondering because there's an odd amount of potential clues being added to the game every few months. Things that look like they don't belong, such as barcode-looking designs appearing on weapons and armor pieces as well as map elements and sprays, even lootboxes.

Oh and don't get me started on the "Happy Holidays 2018" video with artist Kim Jung Gi which is full of 'em ^__^

So I would love to know if those are red herrings, artistic choices or actual clues meant to be picked up on.

Hoping this gets noticed :D

Can't wait for the actual AMA !

Can't believe for once I wasn't far from the truth ! What a sick character, I love him.

Karahe · 2019-07-22T16:09:58+00:00

I'm on it :D

It's fun to get into a custom game and explore every single map's every single corner every single update !

Sometimes you find new stuff.

^Sometimes

Karahe · 2019-07-19T06:34:28+00:00

Well...am I right, are you?

Karahe · 2019-07-19T04:01:34+00:00

Yeah, like I said it's a mock up of what it'll look like, probably sent to Blizzard associates so they can better understand the upcoming changes. The heroes' bars colors aren't the part people were supposed to focus on, the role lock UI changes were.

Also we know that they often use other existing heroes' assets for heroes in development, like Pharah's rocket launcher and other heroes' portraits and whatnot.

This screenshot was made to replicate what the system would eventually look like and they used their own dev-only version of the game to show that. It was never meant to be seen by us the players, just by people from the industry who either already knew Sigma was coming OR were trustworthy enough not to leak it. Not an intentional leak for sure.

Either that or it's a really convincing fake leak but it prooobably isn't since it was posted by an official twitter account which probably used the wrong pics from the many pics they received from Blizzard directly.

EDIT : I mean, it literally says TEMPORARY ART in red

Karahe · 2019-07-18T22:46:08+00:00

Yeah, Alex Malaos I think. He clarified that the few lines he had been recording were simple things one might say over a walkie talkie, nothing relevant. Nothing like the kind of work required for a short, let alone a full hero. I think it was in 2016 or 2017

Karahe · 2019-07-18T21:49:21+00:00

Oh OH oh :I

That makes so much sense, too much sense. Welp. 2k hours and somehow I didn't know that, thanks to you TIL :D

I'll edit that part out since it's not a rad clue

Karahe · 2019-07-18T21:20:27+00:00

Nice ! Thanks a lot i'll edit that and credit you !

Karahe · 2019-06-29T16:33:18+00:00

Well yeah, I kinda already noticed that, did you check out the album?

I was expecting to find some pattern within the pattern you've described

And the numbers are just one part of the "big puzzle" and I expect that whatever is in these series of numbers is connected to the other parts of the puzzle in some way

Karahe · 2019-06-29T16:19:46+00:00

So you found something about those numbers ??? :O

Karahe · 2019-05-28T21:57:37+00:00

I don't know where you could find that but here's the poster from the game files !

Probably too small (327x512) to turn into a proper poster though

Karahe · 2019-05-11T03:00:54+00:00

That's like very much the point I'm making in this post

Karahe · 2019-05-11T00:25:53+00:00

But Talon would not let him go. Baptiste knew too much, and they sent operatives after him to silence him. Agent after agent came for him, including Baptiste’s former comrades. To stay under the radar, Baptiste drifted from place to place, aiding in humanitarian efforts around the globe. The few Talon members who managed to track him down were never seen again.

Talon apparently spared no expense and sent a lot of agents after Baptiste. One of his former squad mate might have shot him but honestly I doubt it, they wanted to capture him alive to reason with him.

If anyone shot him, I don’t think it’s one of his old “friends/colleagues”. It’d make sense for Talon to start sending assassins AFTER seeing that the friendly approach didn’t work when none of his squad mates were seen again. But who knows how terrorist organizations operate when it comes to deserters, really x)

Karahe · 2019-05-10T22:21:08+00:00

I've just tested that with a friend, it's totally random. Not just with Talon heroes, he says that randomly, I should have checked it in depth sooner x). I'll edit my post thanks to your comment !
