Community Event Item Team's Biggest Update To Date: Speculation Thread

What are these texture tiers about? Never heard of them before.

 

To clarify - it's not that I don't think the update is as big as advertised. Rather, I don't think the speculations have much to do with the biggest parts of the update, whatever they may be.

 

Weapons have three different tiers of elemental textures, plus three neutral and three rainbow. I'll try to make a coherent spreadsheet:

Spoiler: little did i know it'd take me three years but ok

also,here's the gif teaser with the wynn pack if anyone might get something from it

 

I am guessing that there is a new mythic spear called Hephaestus, based on the new info that there are now 5 new mythics. Also, based on the fire, and him being the god of fire and metalworking, it is probably safe to say it is a fire based weapon. Just may thoughts, thanks for reading!

 

speculation:

my stinger build is going to be ruined because tri elemental meta

 

Hey all, Silver gave a ‘hint’ as to what the gif teaser was about (it was morse with the wooden and stone building blocks). Tried to solve it reaaaal hard, but I can’t figure it out. This is what I’ve found so far though, maybe anyone can connect something by searching or putting it in imgur links or whatever.

As for some other predictions:
-The Paladin, Anima, Tempest, Vampiric and Void archetypes already have their Hive armor pieces known; all I can predict here is that Gaea-Hewn will stay boots and Anima-Infused probably stays a helmet.
-‘Chaos’ archetype: seems obvious, the Hive item will start with ‘Chaos-Woven ____’.
-‘Volcanic’ archetype: not as easy, but the thunder/fire along with earth seems like it has to do with the portal teaser; perhaps something like ‘Portal-Eminated ____’?
-‘Rogue’ archetype: although I don’t have other reasoning aside from “sounds pretty good”, I’m thinking this connects to the Facebook event; ‘Twilight-Gilded ____’.
-‘Valiance’ archetype: I feel like this one has the least connections to any of the more-or-less solved teasers, so I’m putting the gif teaser in here. This piece might be a chestplate, seeing as Silver hit someone in their chest (although I’m probably overthinking it).
-‘Divine’ archetype: another pretty easy one, the Binding of Isaac item is called Blessing of Eden, so ‘Eden-Blessed ____’ doesn’t seem to far out of the question.

Yeah, that’s it. With the changelog around the corner, this ARG has essentially come to an end. Was a lot of fun, and I’d like to give some thanks to Silver and whoever else made these teasers. I hope we haven’t disappointed you :p And of course also thanks to everyone who has been trying to solve these riddles, I’m really not smart enough to figure any of this out by myself. I’m actually kind of surprised how close I was with my earlier theory about the Hive weapons, seeing as the ARG was set up to tease new Hive armor (also I predicted the Brainwash change, totally wasn’t a coincidence). I hope someone can solve this last teaser, getting the entire picture a few days beforehand would be pretty cool. If we don’t, I’ll ask around and puzzle a bit more myself afterwards and try to give a whole explanation once we have the end result (being the Hive armor in the changelog). I’ll also pester someone about the actual meaning of the grid, don’t worry.

also I was talking about me being the one to find out the text was wingdings a lot earlier btw

Edit: Silver took pity on us

Elysium sounds like it also would have to do with the Divine archetype.. Either one would fit really well, seeing as the garden of Eden is described as 'heaven on Earth' and the Elysium is, well, heaven in Greek mythology. I'm thinking Elysium-___ probably fits better with Divine, and Eden-Blessed would then be of the Valiance archetype.
The postal code was WD6 1JN by the way, which I got incredibly close to getting with '2wd61jn' where did that 2 come from what

 

the 2 come from "2nd-floor" coz 1st floor of WD6 1JN is a pizza hut

 

pretty sure the five new mythics are boots tho...

 

there will be porn in the upcoming update

 

How do you know? (Trying to be kind, but don't know another way to say it nicely)

 

and kind of confirmed on #class_builds a couple times, cba sourcing since that quote should be enough

 

Oh, I see. I thought silver was talking about mythics in general, ty for clarifying!

 

In wynn exc site D there's a quote that says "when darkness and light touch, not twilight is formed, but a land of corruption"
That maybe could have something to do with the twilight mentioned (but its unlikely)

 

I wonder if the five new mythic boots will have lore.
