Weekly Community Event Season One - General Discussion, tips and Feedback

Hey everyone, community events are finally here and figured we could use a place to discuss them. So far I’ve handed in the first twenty five hex cores and I think, though had not tested it personally, I may have some advice for those who have yet to start. When you get your first twenty five hex cores, keep digging for more. Upon returning to Polo and handing in the first twenty five hex cores, not every buried Tech is guaranteed to have hex cores and you only seem to get one at a time when y…

I decided it’s time to share my data for the community events, as found in LANGUAGE > NMS_LOC4_ENGLISH.
I initially wanted to wait until event week 8/8 was released, but HG is taking their time to bring these events to a finish. I guess I am not that patient…

I have been collecting this since the events first started and have been trying to organise it according to each event’s timeline for as much as possible. Some data may be repeated, but I tried to show it with the least amount of repetition possible. On rare occasion, data has actually not been present in the game, as minor changes have been made along the way.

If you wish to watch videos for all of the events we have had so far, I strongly recommend to check out the following playlists from @MacForADay.

• short version YouTube Playlist (separate full events)
• long version YouTube Playlist (alternative game modes and live streams of the events)

PS:

• In all of the resources I posted below, the <STELLAR><> tags have been replaced to show as bold+italic for readability.
• Some data from previous events was re-used in later events. Whether I chose the correct data is unsure, but the result should be correct.
• Thank you @sheralmyst for replying, which allowed me to post all the data I have for now. Not quite the way I prefer, but I’ll live with it

NPC_COMM_WEEK_04_BRIEF2	The Sentinels had such cartographic marvels! Boundary maps of our reality, charting its weaknesses, its vulnerabilities!

NPC_COMM_WEEK_05_BRIEF	Friend! Hello! I have spent sleepless sols puzzling over the coordinates we retrieved, cross-comparing with the Anomaly’s databanks, returning empty over and over. The possible realities fan out infinitely, with only that single transmission to navigate by… But another signal has flickered across the boundaries. A Traveller-friend we thought had been lost! Their communicator suddenly from the darkness, signalled Nada and Polo! Such unspeakable happiness! The transmission frequency was so close, almost aligned, to those messages from beyond the breach. I have triangulated an equivalent location in this reality - would you travel there, return our Traveller-friend home?
NPC_COMM_WEEK_05_BRIEF_RES	I am transmitting you coordinates for the portal, friend. But you must use all of your caution! We are still learning, friend, still not understanding where all this leads.

NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_BRIEF2	The data you fetched has turned up a remarkable pattern. At last, we can visualise the loops and swoops that bind us together in time!

NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_RES_B4	The stranger starts to speak, but cuts themselves off. They want to know where to run, how they can possibly escape, but something tells them I cannot answer, that it is pointless to ask.

NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_DESC5B	The glitchy static around the Traveller’s ‘beacon’ clears, a strong, fresh signal replacing the ancient static. Polo’s process leaves me more apprehensive by the moment.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_LANG5A	You - I know you. You told me to - kzztk - dream, to sleep - kzztk - escaped the fog at last. We have followed the eye to our salvation. And we have you to - kzztk - thank. The portal is ready. We stand on the threshold. At- - kzztk - is calling us.

NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_LANG6	Polo’s strange device has led me to another wreck. I stand before the shattered remains of its bridge computer, feeling as if this strange journey is nearly at an end.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_START	The computer plays a series of fragmented videos, recordings that could not have been made with any normal camera.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_OPT	View recording
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_1	I see the stranger carve the glyphs into the portal’s stone. They step across the threshold, and the blue glow of the portal flashes a deep crimson. A terrifying, otherworldly scream resonates across the entire portal structure. The gateway closes soon after, its connection severed, any way back closed forever. The recording ends soon after.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_2	I see the stranger turn their back on the portal and return to their trudge across the lonely landscape. Their crewmates fall one by one, until the stranger walks alone. The pace of the recording accelerates and the static buildup strengthens. I spool through hours of tape, but the stranger continues to wander, living off the land, never returning to their ship.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_3	I see the stranger turn their back on the portal. They are alone, their crew consumed by whatever strange being they met at the abandoned building. Leaving the portal seems to have freed them from whatever strange spell had been haunting their sleep. They stumble, then look around, frantic. The recording shows them retracing their steps, always alone, until they reach the crash site. They build a shelter, keeping vigil for their fallen friends. Suddenly, I hear a noise behind me. I scan the wreck, but see nothing. As I turn back to the terminal, I see the recording has ended.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_4	The stranger carves a series of glyphs into the portal, then steps across the threshold. The recording warps slightly, but continues. I see the stranger standing on a hexagonal world, dwarfed by the wreck of a large starship. Their starship? They help a figure to their feet, a Korvax. With a jolt, I recognise Nada. The Priest Entity seems to stare right at me, aware that I have seen this reunion. They nod, and the recording ends.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_5	I see the stranger hesitate, then turn their back on the portal gateway. They look over their shoulder as they walk away, as if they heard a voice from across the threshold. As the recording continues, I see them return to the abandoned building where they met the traveller who promised them aid. They search the building, attending frequently to the control terminal, growing ever more distraught. Their saviour never appears, the being with the glowing mask never returns. The stranger cries, alone. They go to sleep on the floor of the building. The recording ends.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_6	The stranger carves a series of glyphs into the portal. They pause, as if called by a familiar voice. Seeing no-one, they continue across the threshold. A burst of static cuts the recording. When the image returns, I see the stranger on the bridge of their freighter, surrounded by their crew. A Korvax priest entity joins them. With a shock, I recognise Nada. Within moments, chaos has erupted on the freighter. Sentinel fighters swarm the ship, their assault sending it into freefall. Another burst of static cuts across the recording. The final image is a single frame of a Gek specialist attending their radar station.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_7	I see the stranger turn away from the portal, a sad shake of their head. But there seems to have been a mutiny. Their surviving crewmates ignore their pleas and enter the portal, unheeding. They are consumed by the foam, and the portal closes with a crimson flash. The stranger walks a short distance, shaken. They assemble a small shelter, enter and close the door. The recording does not show them emerge.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_8	The strangers carves their glyphs into the portal’s stone. They stride towards the threshold, confident, as if called forward by a familiar voice. They enter, and a brilliant flash of white distorts the recording. When the image settles, the portal is nowhere to be seen. All I see are stars, an endless parade of systems. The recording settles on a star and closes in rapidly. The same flash of light, and a new world blinks into existence. The recording ends. What have I just witnessed?
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_9	I see the stranger tap the control panel of the portal, their hands guided by an unseen force. The gateway opens, its blue light spilling out onto the surrounding landscape. In this light, the stranger addresses their remaining crew. They try to persuade them to follow into the portal, but with no success. One by one, the crew walk away. Only the stranger remains. Finally, they begin their approach. The foam consumes them, then dies down. The portal quietly closes. The recording shows nothing more.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_10	I see the stranger examine the open portal, then step away. The recording shows the rest of their movements. They continue to travel, mile after mile, always at night. Each light source is found, examined, discarded. They search each abandoned building they find, looking for the traveller who promised them salvation. The tapes seem to loop forever. I spool forwards through hour after hour of material, the pattern never varying, the stranger never seeming to age. I search and search, but find no end to this story.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_11	I see the stranger activate the portal and walk towards the open gateway. They hesitate as they reach the threshold, turning back to their crewmates for encouragement. They step forward, and are consumed by the foam. A burst of static interrupts the recording. When it ends, I see the stranger surrounded once more by their crew. They look old, far older than the moment before. But they are happy - the relief on all their faces is clear to see. A ship lands in the distance, and the group sets off.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_12	I see the stranger turn away from the portal, but it clearly pains them. The recording shows their reluctant steps away from the threshold, their repeated glances back over their shoulder. The recording continues as the crew and the stranger part ways. The group heads towards a settlement in the distance, the stranger towards the empty horizon. As the images jump forwards, the stranger spends their time hauling large red minerals to a small shelter. They carve them endlessly, a parade of geometric shapes rendered in crimson stone. They fall down, exhausted. I cannot fathom any meaning from the glyphs they carve.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_13	I see the stranger tap tentatively at the portal’s control panel. They open the gateway and walk across the threshold. As the foam settles, another being approaches the still-active portal. A traveller, their face obscured by a blinding light. They follow the stranger into the portal’s blue light. The structure’s ancient stone bends and warps, buckling under some extreme force. At last, the traveller re-emerges. The portal closes. There is no sign of the stranger. Though this is a recording, I cannot help the feeling that the traveller has noticed me. I close the terminal quickly.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_14	I see the stranger turn their back on the portal and hurry away quickly. They return to the wreck of their small starship and begin entering data into the distress beacon. I see the red crimson orb… The recording cuts out, placing the stranger back at the portal. It just shows this loop over and over. I search for an error, some corruption in the data that would explain this odd loop. I find none.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_15	I see the stranger input a series of glyphs, then step forwards into the portal. Before the gateway closes, I see another figure enter, a shimmering being, their face obscured by a brilliant light. The recording cuts out, interrupted by a burst of static. When the recording returns, the stranger is aboard their ship, before we ever made contact. There is a Korvax on the bridge. With a jolt, I realise it is Nada. They look extremely concerned. Before I can see more, the terminal begins to glow white hot, the screen consumed by a burning white flame.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_STORY_END_16	I see the stranger turn away from the portal. They walk slowly, tired and unsure. Eventually, they wander back to the site of their crashed ship. I look closely at the distress beacon at the crash site. There is a faint red light spilling from its interior, the haunting crimson I have seen so many times before. The stranger paces around the beacon, unsleeping. They continue their vigil for days. They walk slower and slower, and eventually collapse. As they do so, their fallen body takes on the same red glow. The recording ends.

They shake off the disappointment and suggest a new line of investigation.
NPC_COMM_WEEK_06_COMP2	It is hard to lose contact, friend. But these echoes are merely one loop from the infinite.

[toddumptious]

Well this is a wonderful gift, thank you devilinpixy I had been taking screens of every dialogue screen to eventually pull from my ps4, crop and share for discussion, but without my pc it’s a daunting task I keep putting off that, inevitably keeps piling up. This has taken a huge load off my mind, though some day I will get around to that similar to what I was doing with the abyss lore (of which I still have others to share, sunken wrecks, main abyss story etc I started a new training course so time is limited these days )

[DevilinPixy]

I prefer images for sure, but indeed, a lot of work. Extracting the data from the source files is a lot easier, although still some work sorting and converting to a format that works well on the forum. Please don’t let me stand in the way of seeing your images, would love to see them

[toddumptious]

Oh I’ll definitely be doing it, the other hurdle is in order to get them on to my phone to crop and upload, I have to send them as a psn message to the one friend who said I could bombard him with images and I try to space out the annoyance of notifications he must be recieving

Now that I’ve finished call of cthulhu though I may start getting the shlunken wreck lore uploaded to kill time until this update lands

Gonna peruse the data you’ve been collected and shared now on le bus so I can start a more on topic discussion

[MacForADay]

Thanks Devilin, though this playlist is better as it has my shorter videos that show me initially doing the event, rather than farming all the quicksilver for hours:

[DevilinPixy]

Ah thanks! I actually intended to link that playlist instead, my bad. Will add the link to the top post.
