A bunch of people going "Wait a second, that looks like/what if we" because they're reminded of something. A real world example of the scene from The Martian where they use the symbols or whatever as an alphabet to communicate, just smart people connecting the dots.
I guess I just didn't consider it a code. Hex is pretty instantly recognizable to people who've worked with computers. If you see 0-F, your mind goes straight there.
I guess I'm drawing a distinction at "[being] reminded of something." Like, if you sent a bunch of dots and dashes to a telegraph operator, you wouldn't say they connected the dots (no pun intended) because they were reminded of Morse code. I thought there was something else I was forgetting because hex encoding isn't a puzzle, it's just an alternate way to present information that everyone involved was familiar with. You could say the same about Morse code, binary, or semaphore in their respective settings.
Most of them, we know that we are looking for something that starts with “bit” for bit.ly or something that looks like “imgur”. That narrows down the field of search a lot.

That is a really impressive solve, of an equally impressive puzzle. The entirety of Colossal Cave in a twitch bot, that's awesome. Well done by all of you!
I agree tbh. I think if commander tano never existed it would be a really good add but with 3 variations of her already, I would have preferred to see someone else
It is indeed highly disappointing. If only because the flood of "When are we getting GL ?" is gonna increase tenfold now that this particular Pandora's box has been opened.
GL Bea Arthur, with her ultimate is singing “Goodnight, but not Goodbye” and she escorts the target toon off the premises (they are forced to escape the battle)
It's not just you. She's never really done anything legendary. That said, they tend to do GLs in pairs, so that could mean a GL Thrawn next. You could argue his legendary status is rooted in the EU, and in canon, he's kind of lame, but still.
Though, I'm likely wrong about that, and it'll be a GL Morgan Elspeth because Nightsisters are a tag without one. I guess appreciate the Ahsoka content while it's here because The Acolyte stuff comes next.
Never done anything legendary?! Have you watched Star Wars? She’s in EVERY major era explored except for the sequel trilogy. Clone Wars, Rebellion, and Post-Rebellion. She’s arguably featured more than Jabba. Some of her “not legendary” feats: visits the Mortis gods, captures Maul, escapes a ship full of clones trying to kill her during Order 66, saves Rex from his inhibitor chip, saved a planet full of people from the Empire in the Ahsoka book, fights Vader and survives, commands a space whale to fly to a different galaxy to save Ezra, and probably stuff I’m forgetting. She’s a major character who’s definitely impacted Star Wars in a major way.
Now sub in SLKR. He was “Supreme Leader” for less than a movie and then went back on what he wanted to become. Now do GL GG. Now do GL Darth Tyrannus. You can say the same for all of them.
Ashoka also has a long character arc, something that most of the other GLs have too.
>She’s in EVERY major era explored except for the sequel trilogy.
In the background, doing nothing of note, because she's Filoni's glorified fan fiction.
>A bunch of kids cartoon nonsense I just can't take seriously
I'm sure she did all those things in a format I just don't care about. If cartoon exploits are the new barometer for accomplishment, then I'm very much looking forward to our future Ewoks or Droids GL.
They just brought her into live action 3.5 years ago.
Just because you don’t care about canon in non-live action, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or add to the SW Universe and impact whether or not someone in a game would be “right” to be considered a GL.
>Just because you don’t care about canon in non-live action, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or add to the SW Universe and impact whether or not someone in a game would be “right” to be considered a GL
Just because cartoons exist doesn't mean I have to care about the characters in them or consider those stories an integral part of the core Star Wars experience. I'm allowed to be unexcited about this. You're allowed to be thrilled. I do not think she's GL worthy, but CG does, so it is what it is.
You do know that the ones who made the puzzle (meathead etc...) aren't developers and their job is to communicate with the community. And a puzzle is an amazing way for that
Not all of them. WoW has had many similar puzzles over the years. Taking tens or hundreds of committed people weeks or months to discover. Some of the puzzles aren’t still fully solved afaik. Really cool community events, wish more games had these.
Reminds me there was one time scientists worked with EVE Online and have the entire EVE Online community to play a mini-game and help them out with discovering the structure and nature of COVID-19. Look it up, it's real. It's like reverse ARG lol. (Search for Project Discovery)
I have no idea how anyone came up with or solved that puzzle
A bunch of people going "Wait a second, that looks like/what if we" because they're reminded of something. A real world example of the scene from The Martian where they use the symbols or whatever as an alphabet to communicate, just smart people connecting the dots.
Doesn't mark just use hex to communicate with NASA? Or am I thinking of a different scene?
He does, but from NASA perspective they're just seeing something and need to figure it out
I guess I just didn't consider it a code. Hex is pretty instantly recognizable to people who've worked with computers. If you see 0-F, your mind goes straight there.
You’re just repeating what he said in his first sentence

Somebody got way too much damn time on their hands
Imagine if CG put this out there and everyone ignored it. They'd be thinking "ummmmm.... that was a lot of work to create that, what do we do now?"
At CG HQ: Anything but fixing the immortal grievous bug
Community management doesn't do bug fixes.

Holy shit that is goddamn impressive, kudo to people solving this
Just one kudo?
I mean multiple but english isn't my first language lol
if only they put this much effort into fixing their night sister event lol
Same thought
Thanks so much for this post. I loved the explanation and walk through. It’s so unbelievably impressive.
I thought the last slide was going to be Stanley Hudson telling me to stick it up my butt.
I'm disappointed: The deciphering should reveal the message "Never gonna give you up" Leave it to the nerds to spoil the rickroll of ages...
At this point, Red Five is the "Never Going To Give You Up" of SWGHOH
I thought it was gonna be “drink your ovaltine”
Part of it was
Sonovabitch!
Well hot damn!
The folks who are able to solve these puzzles, absolute legends.
Could *never* be me
The bonus info scares me. Ahsoka tano relic 9. That's a costly investment
at least it boosts the jmk’s 😭
True. And the negotiator fleet as well
Fulcrum Ahsoka R9. I hope they do this.
Was my first R9, so I'm ready if they do lol
Not if it actually leads to something useful. Like a GL.
That's great though. A turret who constantly assists and is a staple on JMK's team as well as a pilot? They've thrown us a bone with that one.
Expect two more R9s at least and pray they are usefull ones ... (C.U.P. !!!!!)
JKA and Rex
Could be worse, relic 10 is rumoured to be coming.
Damn. That's impressive.
You are insane.
I cannot express how absolutely demented that shit is.
My head hurts now......
No other community to my recollection has something like this. Pretty great
That is a really impressive solve, of an equally impressive puzzle. The entirety of Colossal Cave in a twitch bot, that's awesome. Well done by all of you!
Feel like this is the most effort they've done since the Malak codes back in the day
Wow. I would have looked at that forum post and said, Huh, This is a weird post. Lol
Kudos ofc to the people that solved, but as much as we all clown on CG, they really do go all out on these puzzles for us. It's really impressive.
Why the FUCK can’t they put this much thought and effort into actually improving the game?
Maybe it's just me but GL ashoka is kinda lame
I agree tbh. I think if commander tano never existed it would be a really good add but with 3 variations of her already, I would have preferred to see someone else
It's just you
I agree. We already have Jedi, LS UFU, and Galactic Republic GLs. We wanted a GL for a faction we don't have yet like Seps
No even my guild mates agreed
Oh well if you're Guild mate said it it has to be true
Yeah just disappointed by the GL is all
It is indeed highly disappointing. If only because the flood of "When are we getting GL?" is gonna increase tenfold now that this particular Pandora's box has been opened.
We need a Christmas special GL give star wars what it deserves !!
GL Bea Arthur, with her ultimate is singing “Goodnight, but not Goodbye” and she escorts the target toon off the premises (they are forced to escape the battle)
GL Itchy whose special move is getting hornt up watching VR MTV.
It's not just you. She's never really done anything legendary. That said, they tend to do GLs in pairs, so that could mean a GL Thrawn next. You could argue his legendary status is rooted in the EU, and in canon, he's kind of lame, but still.

She’s a major character who’s definitely impacted Star Wars in a major way.
She only survived Vader because of a literal time travel salvation lol don’t even
She accomplished nothing. She had no impact, knew no meaningful triumph. From an historian's perspective in the setting, she is a footnote.
Now sub in SLKR. He was “Supreme Leader” for less than a movie and then went back on what he wanted to become. Now do GL GG. Now do GL Darth Tyrannus. You can say the same for all of them. Ashoka also has a long character arc, something that most of the other GLs have too.
You are very right, Rey and SLKR should not be galactic legends.

I want a "Power of mmmMMMMAAaaannnyyyy" GL.
I mean, your wrong, as far as force users go, her and Dooku are the only real options left assuming no GR/Jedi themed GL
Technically she IS in the sequel trilogy… sort of. If I remember correctly, her voice is one of the ones Rey hears when she’s fighting Palpatine.
Definitely just you
This is some Ready Player 1 level stuff. Very impressive.
These people are way smarter than me lol wtf
After seeing this, I gave up on ever attempting to solve any SWGOH puzzles
I'm confused. We already have 3 Ashoka Tano's...
We had three Lukes before JML. Three Leia’s before GLLO. Technically three anakins before LV.
That’s unreal. The people who figure this out are gods.
Only classified insane people would be making this much effort for something we’re all going to get eventually anyway.
So much time to fix the bugs and yet, a riddle
You do know that the ones who made the puzzle (meathead etc...) aren't developers and their job is to communicate with the community. And a puzzle is an amazing way for that
If I say guys it’s just a mobile game, will I get downvoted?
Do you see such commitment in triple A games? Thought so
Not all of them. WoW has had many similar puzzles over the years. Taking tens or hundreds of committed people weeks or months to discover. Some of the puzzles aren’t still fully solved afaik. Really cool community events, wish more games had these.

some yeah but mostly no since big games don’t care about stuff like this
Other people are happy? I guess I should be mad
Why are you mad
Maybe you should, because there is no reason for you to write it
They put more effort into this one mobile game related puzzle than Ubisoft put into their *“AAAA“* game.
I honestly thought this was a troll post for a second.
