Easter Egg within the character creator [3/6 found]

I do not know how to express the various feelings I have about this "puzzle." I have seriously spent several hours each day for the last two days trying to deduce the answer and the only conclusion I can draw after all my work and all the collaboration we did on this thread is that listening to anything the staff says is apparently a terrible idea.

I am significantly more insane now than before this all started.

 

It seems to me that given the fact that the two discovered so far were pretty obvious, the rest haven't been released yet.

 

Vere est.

 

This thread makes my brain hurt.

 

Now, taking all bidders! How long will it take for the community to decrypt the 3rd Easter egg?

 

1 hour and 21 minutes. Just you wait.

 

A number of minutes.

 

A measure of time.

 

Hmm. 3rd egg better be easier.

 

nope sorry "Easier" isn't one of the easter eggs.

 

I actually like that the easter eggs are so complex. It makes finding them that much more fun and rewarding.
The only problem I had with the second one was the misinformation that was accidentally fed to us.

 

If you guys like these easter eggs, you should check out the don't starve beta update hints. They have done things liike give us hidden morse code in videos, scrambled reversed dialogue underlayed in music, tiny lines of images at random frames of video that if paused and captured and put together form a complete image. random letters that if put together form a grid which can only be solved with a cipher from a later video, hidden links to all sorts of stuff...I suck at it, but the code-cracking monkeys over there go nuts and figure it out in a day.

 

Guys, personally I think the eggs should NOT be easier. You're late for 1 hour and what? It's solved! Without you! No, I think it should be hard, BUT! The puzzle should contain all the info needed to get the puzzle. The main "difficulty" of the puzzle is just to get rid of most of the code, because you just don't have no info and can't figure it out by yourself. The code we got WAS a very good puzzle, if it's not lost among the symbols AND you are english-speaking (if so, you should know the website, I'm not, so I use others, but, well, you can't please everyone). Then the l33t is good. Did the l33t - got the code. Did the caesar's shift - got the URL and IMDB. Then... well, no matter if J is 9 or 10 (I still don't know if it is a mistake), you'll get the idea.
If we have something like that with even more steps, and if it is HARD, I think it will be the best option, because we will be busy for sometime, but we will be solving the puzzle and moving further, not just trying the code we don't even need.

 

I think that they should make a different type of puzzle for the next easter egg. Maybe a treasure hunt across the internet, or more of a wordy riddle.
As for the next easter eggs...
The two easter eggs we have found have had a reference to culture, or wordplay.
Although there could easily be something else for the next easter eggs, here is what I am thinking:
Think of the apex. Apex also has the meaning of "the highest part of something". So the apex of a roof is the upmost part of that roof. The meaning can also be more abstract, like the apex of his career, which would mean the point of his career where he performed the best, for example. This MIGHT have something to do with the easter egg.
Also, as of culture references there are several. The most obvious one I can think of is the movie "The planet of the Apes" and its sequels. Another thing is monsters in lore. The most known one is probably bigfoot, but there are MANY giant ape creatures in lore.
Just to name a few:
Sasquatch (Canada)
Yowie (Australia)
Mapinguari (Brazil)
Maricoxi (South America)
Yeti (Nepal)
Yeren (China)
Almas (Central america)
Chuchunaa (Siberia)
etc. (there are many more)

I know it's stupid to guess, but I'm just thinking about possibilities for the apex easter egg. Maybe someone else wants to help me? I know it is probably futile, but I'm going to try a few of those names and hope for the best

 

This is a pretty interesting suggestion.

 

Maybe the Apex one will be a Gorrilaz song...
But I doubt it will be that obvious.

 

Hey for anyone who like the type of puzzles the dev team are giving out for the easter eggs, check out this thread I made
http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/puzzles.15774/

 

So are there going to be any hints to the easter eggs or are we just left with nothing?

 

Well, the first two had hints so there's no reason why the other four shouldn't.

 

What I meant was any hints to the last 4 anytime soon, sorry bad choice of wording.
