Sombra ARG...

www.amomentincrime.com has reached 100%. Reads: "charging complete. Activating Bastion unit E54" (something like that. I dunno spanish and Google translate isn't a great source). The discord twitter account is now "s o m b r a" with a poll: "there is only one right answer" there are 3 options. All of them are Sombra. The Overwatch site was down (likely due to too many people trying to enter). PTR is still down that's all folks! TL;DR: the ARG is likely coming to an end soon. Edit 1: the discord twitter "hack" was almost certainly a joke but it was a good joke (while it lasted, it's not "s o m b r a" anymore) Edit 2: this is where tge hype comes back after the disappointment of the countdown. For a short time (after the countup ended) when playing Bastion on Dorado and you walked up to a certain monitor Bastion would start beeping. This was actually Morse code. That Morse code went through some leet haxoring and you end up with "wwwlumericomx". This was obviously a website, a LumeriCo website. At 1st glance it looks unimportant, but the 2 main things that were imortant were: a log in and a phone number. The phone number was of LumeriCo corp. When called you get 2 sets of numbers. One of them lead to a page similar to amonentincrime (www.lumerico.mx/takecintrol) which had a bunch of jibberish. Using the other set of numbers you were able to make out some Spanish. This got us to a message FROM SOMBRA TO US, THE COMMUNITY saying how the leader of LumerCo is evil and she wants to take him down. We then got a username and password, these were used to log into a LumeriCo account. It contained some unimportant stuff and then something I don't remember but you had to use a key. Which key? Well if you remember months ago Sombra told us that we "have her key". The key being "sombrainfirmationispowersombra" in leetspeek. We used this to gain access to get more e-mails containing some more stuff and an e-mail from Sombra. She explains how we have to wait a bit more and how the owner of the account can't see this message. That is where we are now with the ARG. This was much better than just a line of text and not getting Sombra as a character. Although I would have preferred getting Sombra as a character this is also oretty good, some people enjoy the whole digging through info stuff which is understandable. Thank you for reading this, and good night.

  • It's not really an ARG if everything comes down to tine locks. Seriously, first there's a [i]two month[/i] wait. This leads into getting [i]absolutely no new information[/i]. Then we have another week long wait. If this culminates in a Sombra reveal at Blizzcon, Blizzard will have just wasted so many gamers time on a pointless ARG.

    • Blizzard should stop playing around and just release the character.

        If you play bastion on dorado, and go to a certain computer screen, he starts beeping. If you translate the beeps, it takes you to www.lumerico.mx which is a fictional website for the person wet plant on dorado. You can log into different employees accounts and read their emails, which is going to reveal the next step of the ARG. Edit: phoning the number gives you a new message from Sombra in code about how the owner of the power plant is evil. Bs she gives you the email login.

        • I honestly don't see the point of this at all. Reminds me of Hunt the Truth, I'm expecting all of this ARG crap to amount to nothing. Be even funnier if the character sucked.

        • This is too much suspence for a damn character. If she's anything like Ana, she isn't worth all of this damn drama.

          • I'm sick of hearing about Sombra. Just release her already instead of this crap that doesn't amount to anything.

            • My guess would be that any new character will not be released until the current competitive season is over.

            • The site/discord is probably "down" to tie in with the fact that Sombra is a hacker of some kind.
