People are going to be really angry if this is all for just a flag

Some hints to help out going into the weekend: 

• "h3d33p" is the final answer for the ASIA portion of the ARG. 
• The final answers of NA and EU's portions will yield similar 6-character codes 
• The final prize isn't a flag this time! I swear! 
• You're still missing pieces of NA's puzzle, but you're headed in the right direction. Dark_sephiorth96 was onto something. 

That's all you're getting for now. Good luck!

How did we get the final answer for the Asia server again? Maybe we need to separate everything back into an EU and NA pile to figure them out separately?

The final answer for ASIA was the Dasha letter that literally told us the code numbers to break. So everything on the ASIA server is done. And I agree. I feel like we are jamming a bunch of things together that don't belong together.

[coyote95]

If we string the numbers together from the parchment right and down like DS said, it would read 340410081 (moving to the right and down)

if we start from the right, it would read 440318100

440318100=D

340410081=4

put it through a hex 2 text converter and got this. I don’t know what I’m doing, so this might just be meaningless

The numbers on this letter can be translated from HEX to Text:

Can you tell us if there are anymore clues to be released or if everything is there for us to find the codes?

What are the words on the side of the ship Transylvania?

Treats

You mean the TREATS text? 

 

[iDuckman]

"Tricks" on the other side, perchance?

Note that both are 6 characters.

[CO_Valle]

Just now, iDuckman said:

I think both sides have the same word.

So the missing part is probably another letter.  How did we get that one again?  Wasn't it by use of the number 25?

Btw, I've tried the URLs:

https://worldofwarships.eu/en/content/arg_content_page_2/

https://worldofwarships.com/content/arg_content_page_2/

and similar.  404s all around.

An image search on arg_content_page_2 produced this:

That's it!  It's @Lert in disguise!  He's got the letter!  Get 'im!!

If you are asking how the ASIA code was obtained:

On https://worldofwarships.asia open the article called "A mysterious letter from Dasha", on that article you can find the following glyph:

 which has a link to another page: https://worldofwarships.asia/en/content/arg_content_page_2/

On this last letter the following numbers need to be decoded:

68 33 64 33 33 70

which are (respectively) the HEX values for

h 3 d 3 3 p

Here is a tool for you: http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/hexadecimal/

but windows charmap is just as revealing ;)

[iDuckman]

I'm a programmer.  I can do hex to Ascii (etc) conversion. 

So the whole thing was a simple reveal in a posted News article?  No use of the '25'?

So all we have to do is wait for a similar article?  Seems an anti-climax.

While on the Asia server, I looked at another article.  The community was challenged to record 800,000,000 Base XP during a 'Mid-Autumn Festival'.  It more than doubled that!  Yikes!

 

[Avelorn]

NA and EU always had a more cryptic approach to giving out clues. Even the first clue for ASIA was just given out, so I doubt we'll get an article with a blatant clue.

I wish it was that easy for NA and EU.

[CO_Valle]

So, we pretty much got confirmation that we are missing pieces of the NA Puzzle, so far I know the following:

Glyph:4,6

All of these point to the same YT video. Has anyone found other clues?

[Avelorn]

He looked so sad at the end. sorry for being a dumb cat 

[KRKroenen]

Going back to the video the only thing I thought of was it says "time is shown on the horizontal axis," at the 42 second mark. I would assume this to be irrelevant but not sure.

And the 2 loudest lines look like II or 11

Agreed, wiki article linked from the video also adds new coordinates, 50° 0′ 0″ S, 100° 0′ 0″ W

The clues need not take the form of glyphs.  Remember that the final period in this 2017 news article is a link to a letter.

I've been looking but seen nothing new.

 

[BellumD3us]

So I decided to poke around on the ASIA forums and someone over there found this

https://worldofwarships.com/en/content/docs/a-message-from-me-to-you/

Unfortunately they didn't say how they found it.

there is also someone who thinks that the code will be LEVIATHANINTHEDEEP
