Nope, compared byte-for-byte from a copy I mirrored a few days ago, nothing has changed.
And I think they blacked out their code because they're paranoid we'll steal all their codes with it or something else equally improbable.

Haha no, I just noticed that people were refraining from posting them, like in the spreadsheet with all the user data. Just figured there was a reason other people didn't want to post it, so I blacked it out

Does anyone have a screenshot of what it looks like before entering any codes to use for reference later? Or of all the comics? I thought my last panel had changed, thought the door was open wider, but I don't remember what it used to look like and it's entirely possible that I'm just grasping for anything now in hopes of discovering something new.

I've got mine if you want to compare it.

For us UK players.
code clarification

Just to clarify, before I shell out for US gum codes. How many packs/codes will I need to purchase to get the most out of this section. Is it still the case that they can be bought in multipacks of the same flavor and the codes will just 'tick off' all the constellations i.e I haven't got to buy each flavor per constellation?

I have read through all the posts on the relevant threads, I just wanted to clarify. Cheers.

For reference, I've got a scene breakdown of The Genesis video at http://icefly.wikibruce.com/Video_analysis_The_Genesis

One thing I don't think's been mentioned - could there be significance to the license plate?



"MH 674T" - Couldn't make out any location name though.

Gerald chatter I've seen indicates that you'll need 10 for the constellations and the max facility keys is 9, so in total you'd need 16 if the three keys we've been given are not enough.

It is definite that flavours don't matter for constellations or keys. There's a post by Bongela on the Survivalcodes.com thread which gives a step by step guide on what to do with the codes.

Called wrigley about my bad codes. They literally had no idea about this promo at all. She was patient but won't give me a refund or new codes until they can figure what's going on... Even 5 gum is in the dark. O.o when I called she was like there are codes in your packages? Either she was faking it or really out of the loop.

Nice one fella. I appreciate your help. I read details somewhere in the posts but was dreading re-reading for hours! G

EDIT: Is there anything I can do with the 3 available keys on my profile, before I start looking for Gum?

My guess is that they're faking it. The call operators probably have a memo in front of them that let them know everything. By now we know that 5 is up to their elbows in this business.

My current theory is that the three keys relate to puzzles or something else inside the facility. I'd like to think that players can earn new keys by achieving tasks. For those who can't get access to the gum codes we're stuck waiting until the timer reaches zero.

As of now, there isnt anything you can do with the three keys.

Thanks chaps. I'm currently trying to solicit the purchasing of gum via UF individuals. G

Gerald, if I can find packs at one of the cheaper places, I'm happy to get you codes! (I don't want to pay $1.79 for them and doubt you do either. Way more than elsewhere.) Are you posting in the buy/sell thread? Otherwise, just PM me.

I think that the facility keys aren't doing anything because we're currently OUTSIDE the facility. Since the countdown is on that heavy door into the mountainside. (Oh, doors in mountainsides...you rarely lead to good things lol)

theBruce the plate number was mentioned, but no one had gotten a screencap. It's actually odd that it's visible, since the regulations for TV etc now generally indicate that you can't show a number (just like using 555 for phone numbers).

It looks like we're SUPPOSED to notice that plate... they seem to have gone to some trouble to put it in a frame that would block the state/province/wherever they shot. DC plates are white but there's a DC symbol in the center... I'll do some digging.

EDIT: Okay, the only US license plate with that format is DC. *ding ding what do I win* In theory the format should be AB-1234 instead, the lettering should be blue (it appears to be black), and in most cases it should have the red separator. But even looking at international plates, that's the closets.

Of course, it could be a totally fake plate, but figured it might be worth chasing down a state.

Back on topic please...!



Has anything changed in the profile for anyone who's obtained all the constellation keys? Anything at all?


I don't think so. Here's mine-


blacked out my preservation code

I've also watched all the videos over and nothing's changed there either. :/



I see on your profile you have 5 test facility keys. you received them after buying the gum and introducing the codes to gather constellation keys?

I'm asking because I'm not from USA so I won't have any constellation keys but I would like to gather as many facility keys as possible.

thanks
