Guys, we should probably simply ignore Mr. ExDeus.
And if he gets on your nerves... just remember what else ED stands for.

Don't feed the troll, please

why would they sendt out a message saying "we d up", when théy dont even have time to acknowledge the stuttering problem with the game

Exit is on the Right top side of your browser. X button. If u so cool why the heck u still here?

As u can see part of players are entertained with riddles and like to make a little brainstorm.
It's cool that they just don't say " Look here is new DLC for 10bucks, go buy it'.

If u think it's retarded 'to think a little' just leave.

The lack of wit going on here is mind boggling.

Pretty good find, I'll put in sometime on this cypher again today when I get out from work. Did an hour or so last night but the progression has been pretty good considering we've come to his conclusion ourselves.

Spent sometime working with the numbers in it both and moving them to characters via everything and anything to no avail.

The one thing I find amusing about all this though is the game has been out less than a week (in the UK at least) and people are demanding answers be given, DLC be handed over and SDK's (which would be fun) be available right this minute. Boys and girls I'm afraid to say it but if they had DLC ready for the game within days of its release then surely that just means it was a bad unfinished game... and clearly from having completed it I can say that isn't the case at all. This is purely a bit of fun (or so I see it) based upon a game that is devoted to mystery and twists and nothing being what it seems. If you can't appreciate it (you don't have to like it) then you most likely thought that the Deus Ex series was just a FPS game like your beloved Halo...

Why Eidos dont make something like this code before launch the game?
Nothing special, but interesting)

Think a little?? As i sayd i dont understand what they want..and as i sayd im not a programer..and as i sayd a know some of you enjoying this but some us "brainless" people want to know what they want and if thay want our money just say it normal like other company "like iw and treyarch". And no offence. And good luck to encode it ..realy

We could use the Deus Ex Wiki for that (Unless someone has a better solution).

I don't speak for the whole fanbase, sry if i sound offensive.
But other side of coin is that lotta people will whine any way if it's just "go and pay"

Imagine this announcement as "there is nothing behind it, just part of lore" and after decryption BOOM!! "Eidos is additon 10000 new weapons, hubs, Storyline between DXHR and DX1"

Cuz even if they add ok 1 new hub, it's 2 more hours and than nothing.

To be fair, a new hub would not be 2 hours, not if it's anything like the hubs we do have.

The current hubs easily account for 10-15 hours of gameplay EACH.

Mind you, it could be a mini-hub, like Paris in DX1.

Now it makes more sense:

IT WAS TOTALLY INVISIBLE HOWS THAT POSSIBLE? THEY USED THE EARTHS MAGNETIC FIELD X THE INFORMATION WAS GATHERED AND TRANSMITTED UNDERGRUUND TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION X DOES LANGLEY KNOW ABOUT THIS? THEY SHOULD ITS BURIED OUT
THERE SOMEWHERE X WHO KNOWS THE EXACT LOCATION? ONLY WW THIS WAS HIS LAST MESSAGE X THIRTY EIGHT DEGREES FIFTY SEVE NMINUTES SIX POINT FIVE SECONDS NORTH SEVENTY SEVEN DEGREES EIGHT MINUTES FORTY FOUR SECONDS WEST x LAYER TWO

Coordinates to a weird building! CIA perhaps Use google.

[Messire]

Strange how these ways remind me of good old time gaming: A not so long time ago, I used to play Ultima. It was all about deciphering as well (serpent writing, signposts, and more...) I am really enjoying that type of "teasing". Considering W. Spektor & friends' ORIGINal ways (Lord British immediately comes to mind) I wouldn't be surprised if it was as big as expected by the community.

IMO, it could be one of three things, considering the amount of energy spent by the community to decipher it:

-It could be Deus Ex 4 annoucement (likely, considering the quick success of the third installement)
-It could be a remake of Deus Ex, but it would be less likely, because you know, Purity First (btw I looooove the Pink Floyd tags we get at Sarif Labs; those punks are true fans)
-It could be the Montreal Hub.

I'll bet on the Mont-Royal hub. As it was ready to be implemented, the hub area looks really cool (I'm not there yet, so all I have seen are illustrations) and, more important:
Folks, it is your own city you where forced to cut out because of deadlines! Now show us some honor!

PS: (Just noticed) 16 characters, 7 slashs. It COULD be an eight letters word.
NA, I must be dreaming...

very nice find!
you mean the .net application kryptos?
what settings did you choose to verify it? thanks

[VormirUK]

To the mods and community, my apologies. I was having browser problems, hence the double post.

[szacsee]

The Kryptos Group???
Wtf....

I don't get it... Is it related to the game?

[VormirUK]

It's not, I just double checked and the KRYPTOS alphabet decoder I was using keeps spamming this as a result. even if you type "I love my car". So false alarm

[Isilwen Nightfall]

In fact, the two codes seems to be way too short to be conveying all that...

It's Kryptos - famous sculpture located near CIA in Langley. I think it was a VormirUK's strange joke, because I don't see any relationship between game and kryptos
