Many thanks for that. Expert advice, as usual!

I vaguely remembered something about it not starting automatically - but I kind of assumed that meant you could force it to trigger if you got the circumstances right. It seems not.

Never mind. This run of Expeditions only has a few days to go. :grinning:

Don’t remind me… I still need to trigger 20 waypoints… :man_facepalming:

Aaaand done. Not quite sure why I did that, but I saw a couple interesting places, so it’s fine.

I’ll never make it, I’m still trying to get tier 2 done. I have no time to play these days, but when I do have time,the kids are playing.

Yeah. I kinda have up. Liked the concept, but precious little time. Pretty odd, seeing as how the pandemic is still with us. Whodathunkit?

This confused me a little. It seems the universe ended, and nobody told me.

Then it became clearer. There may be 0 whole days left, but there are still 16 hours.

Hmm. Where have I heard that before?

So… the universe is actually ending? :stuck_out_tongue:

It sort of is, since each game mode seems to have a different universe, the save conversion would just end this universe and transfer us to its normal permutation :stuck_out_tongue:

In all seriousness though, imagine logging into NMS one day and finding the suit giving a countdown in red to some major event. Would be even better if Sean doesnt tease. Everyone would just be going apeshit! Maybe our collective WT loving tinfoil heads would band together to theorize again.

I will answer you tomorrow. If I say “yes”, then you know I’m lying.

I have no objection to WT theorists. In fact I quite enjoy some of their stuff. They can get a bit tiresome though, when they refuse to accept that this is a discussion group, and not a chat room. So they keep raising the same questions over and over, when we already have a topic for that subject.

Dammit, I was hoping for more of a breather! :laughing:

That’s awfully little information… anybody can log in already and see what happens?
Also, they’re starting to change history… as though travellers weren’t enough like Dr. Who already! :tired_face:

So far, I can’t get Beachhead to start. My Pioneers save has converted to a regular save, and I can now pursue Artemis - but that’s it.

When I go to start a new game, it just tells me that the Expeditions game has finished. There is no other option.

:smiley: We have been trying to read the signs in NMS for ages. Would be nice if we got an accurate translation. So cool!
Was hoping to play the new Beachhead before going to town… :roll_eyes: Now I have to wait. How can they give us an update and not activate it? :smirk: Come on SM…tweet already!

No clue why they thought rounding date/time was a good idea

I saw the update for the next expedition upload on PSN just as I was leaving for work. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to load it up and check it out.
