Enjoy Guns and Grenades? Well things turned out weird here...   Bows and swords are all you get.


Everyone gets a random class, including the boss which gets its own types.

Class:

Mage: Deal damage in order to gain points.
Staff of Magic: Fireball spell, but faster projectile, maybe different.
Demonic Grimoire: Every spell is a combo based attack.
Drain health: Create a tether between you and your victim, you take more damage from and will heal the victim for damage dealt.
Lightning Root: Chains lightning from starting point to the victim keeping them rooted in place for small timer. (victim can fight back to break out faster, has a cd for being rooted)
Gravity Toss: Lifts target up, to throw them into another direction. (First cast lifts up and has small timer, cast second time to toss, if you miss timer victim is released)




Knight: Deal damage in order to gain points
Hero's Blade: For every strike against the same opponent without missing or taking damage within Xseconds you gain 50% increased damage. (stacks 3 times)
Kingdom's Shield: Reduces damage taken when held out, Charge ability to create a force field like shield infront of yourself. Immobilized during ability.


Archer: Deal damage in order to gain points
Heaven's Bow: A charge shot scattershot, if about to hit something it explodes into a bunch of smaller arrows. (single shot arrow turns into shotgun shot styled arrows)
Forest Spirits: Able to summon forest spirits to act as immobile turrets against enemy. Max 1 of each element designed.


Priest: Heal yourself and others in order to gain points.
Staff of Light: Forms an Ion beam that does damage continuously as long as it is hitting the target.
Divine Grimoire: Every spell is a combo based attack.

Protection: AOE damage shield, any melee or projectile attacks still do damage normally.
Healing bubble: Do I even need to explain this, we already have one, but we can center it around the priest instead.
Regen mana: Debuff's hp and mobility while active by 50%.
Judgement: Revives players in small nearby radius after combo and charge meter. can take hp damage if you run out of mana during this. (2 extra people revived while 0 mana is enough to kill the priest)


Class designs for the boss would have it based around one of 3 types of damage. Melee/Ranged/Magic

Increase the amount shown from 4 to 6, give challenge maps a small symbol to let people know its a challenge map or not (Not a symbol SAYING its someones' challenge map, just a map challenges CAN happen on).

DISCLAIMER: SERIOUSLY LOTS OF POTENTIAL SPOILERS ABOUT THIS FISHING RELEASE; IF YOU WANT TO FIGURE THE CLUES AND/OR FIGHT OUT ON YOUR OWN DO NOT CONSULT THIS THREAD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Spoiler

To make a long story short I know this community is capable of coming together to figure out exactly what the heck we need to do to kill this b**** and figure out all the clues that Brass left us. As a result of my belief of the ingenuity of this community I will be creating a mega-thread discussing all of the known clues and strategies to combating Kraken so we can eventually get the dank loot of
EDIT: We have killed this biatch but there is still much we do not know, nor any unique loot that has been discovered officially.

Seriously don't read this if you don't want a spoiler

During the release of the fishing update Brass posted in the Announcements chat of discord:
(SHOUTOUT TO NIVENDO FOR TRANSLATIONS)

Code:

Gsv Xivzglih rmul, xlmgzrmh gsv xofv blf mvvw.
Translation: The Creators info contains the clue you need

After this leak in discord, Brass's forum profile / signature now has a Binary Sequence of

Code:

01101000 01110100 01110100 01110000 01110011 00111010 00101111 00101111 01100110 01101111 01110010 01100101 01110010 01110101 01101110 01101110 01100101 01110010 01100111 01100001 01101101 01101001 01101110 01100111 00101110 01101111 01110010 01100111 00101111 01100110 01101001 01110011 01101000 00101111
Translation: https://forerunnergaming.org/fish/

On the https://forerunnergaming.org/fish/ webpage there is a video of someone who we can presume is Brassx starting in the spawn point of the lobby. The assumed Brassx then no clips / flys / runs from the lobby spawn point to the fishing dock area following the normal route/without clipping through walls or teleporting and then dives into the water to see the Kraken eyes.

KEY POINTS OF THIS VIDEO:

• The flying person is at 21 hp (Could potentially be a hint, 21 in binary is 0001 0101 or 10101)
• At the top of the lobby stairs an encryption phrase fades in, and then fades out as Brass gets closer to the water. The phrase reads as follows:
  
  Code:
  

  Ocz vixdzio wzvno yrzggn di ocz yzzk. Diqvydib nompxopmzn nvdy oj ydnopmw don mzno.
Translation: The ancient beast dwells in the deep. Invading structures said to disturb its rest.
• There is a hidden Morse code message in the page source of the website (https://images.forerunnergaming.org/10.21.04-22.09.18.png) that roughly translates to:
  
  Code:
  

  Originally the accepted translation was "The eyes bring power to the beast" but recent events bring more possibilites;
"THEEYESBRINGTHEPOWEROFTHEBEAST"
"THEEYESBRINGPOWERTOTHEBEAST"
"IHEEYESBRINGTHEPOWEROFTHEBEAST."

So what have we learned from this journey so far?

• Brass's profile has a clue leading to the https://forerunnergaming.org/fish/ webpage.
• That webpage has both an Encryption clue and a hidden morse code clue that we as a community have not fully translated, and they are:
  • The ancient beast dwells in the deep. Invading structures said to disturb its rest.
  • The eyes bring power to the beast **This is the currently accepted translation, it may be incorrect**
    
• ***EXCERPTS FROM BRASS***
  • Brass has confirmed there is something we are missing to the fight although it is not crucial to winning
  • The clues he left mentioned above should help us find what we are missing in order to assist further with fighting the Kraken
  • There are major differences between the possible translations about the eyes of the Kraken and there is definitely a clue hiding within it
  • Eyes serve a purpose other than just weakpoints
  • Confirmed - The spiky tentacles are weaker and easier to kill, SERIOUSLY FOCUS THE NON-SPIKY FIRST
    

Essentially what I want from the amazing FRG community from here on out is further speculation and answers on how we can beat this SOAB while also debunking the clues left by Brass.
Please leave any questions, ideas, or answers below so that the community of FRG can work through this together to find an answer and also kill this biatch for that loot .

This area is for speculation/answers when appropriate, as well as full translations of the morse code and cryptograms.
Again, this area may also include large amounts of spoilers. VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK;

• Speculation submitted by 2koreds:
  With Brass mentioning something we are missing in the Kraken fight but not crucial to winning it I speculate that one thing we could potentially test is shooting the boulders that are hurled from non-spiky tentacles. Perhaps they work similar to boulders being thrown by Bullymongs from Borderlands 2, possibly even deflecting or damaging the tentacles or Kraken.

• Speculation submitted by Axe:
  The file name for the Morse Code spoiler/hint in the source code of the https://www.forerunnergaming.org/fish/ website is as follows;
  10. 13. 14- 22.09.18
  Now at first glance one would assume the 22.09.18 would be the release date of fishing which is possibly, but Axe thinks it may be part of the puzzle.
  There is a chance it is simply the date, but what about the rest of the video filename? spaces or underscores can stand for a break in Morse code or another dash in morse code. Brass's profile also implemented Binary Sequences for ASCII hints, meaning the video filename itself could be things such as;
  • 10. 13. 14- 22.09.18
  • [Binary translation of the above
  • or a mix of binary for the numbers with Morse Code for the (dots), (spaces), and (dash). Someone feel free to test possible translations plox.

• Speculation submitted by Alex Summers:
  I'm going to guess that with brass' hint on the eyes that they function similar to the orbs on ignis/glacies where they indicate which tentacle to shoot in order to break it faster.
  

My rant about myBB, not pertaining to this thread

Spoiler

WOO Finally fixed all of the formatting. Fun fact, myBB changes your tags after you edit them. Literally have to have this thread saved in a txt doc to edit it without it breaking :^)
