Patch that just dropped has Bastion play a morse code on Dorado at a sombra monitor that translates to:

S Q O F J F B N I T I Z W G D X S D O

So apparently you're not getting Sombra yet.

here come the planes
It was found in something people overlooked - bastion's RIP winpose has morse code blinks that pointed people to the dorado/sombra stuff. It might've even been in the game before this patch hit!

It decoded to https://lumerico.mx/ via a password people found in previous parts of the ARG (SOMBr@1NF:rM@7iON1SP0vvErrSOMBr@) which has a bunch of stuff and a login system:

SERVICE INTERRUPTION
2 days ago
We have received reports of customers suffering ómnicos small interruptions in service, including the possible transmission of a strange sound. We have no information to report at this time, but we are investigating the cause of the issue.

DORADO PLANT WILL START THE SERVICE ON NOVEMBER 1
5 days ago
With the completion of inspections and final safety approvals, it has been determined on November 1 as the date for the opening of the nuclear plant LumériCo. All residents of Dorado and surrounding areas (see maps service for more information) they are automatically transferred to the new system with rates as previously announced. To commemorate this occasion, LumériCo will be hosting an event on the same day with the presence of President William Portero. more details will be revealed in the near future.

That was in there before, but the patch added Bastion's beeps in Dorado itself, which when decoded led to lumerico.mx. Apparently.

I'm idling in the game detectives discord and they're all in a tizzy, they've just hit a brick wall on the login.

And not even assigning that to her ult is questionable. They should just move that to her ult altogether and just scrap her ult as it is. Idk why giving her a second gun and having infinite clip size even fits in her kit thematically

Mainly because assigning the backstab to her ult would scrap both the stealth toggle and the backstab as they are currently. They could stand to actually put a cooldown on both, but having her ult be something between Genji and Soldier means she'll be useful in a push instead of just another disposable flanker.

I played a game on the Ilios map a few weeks ago where the Symmetra placed the teleporter on the edge of the cliff and killed most of us. They did it twice too, and people kept using it.

It was pretty great.

Same thing happened to me, but on Hanamura.

The https://www.lumerico.mx/TAKECONTROL was translated with the phone number which had a username and password that was not the one above (the one above is the president's). From there people somehow used lumerico.mx/president-bypass/.git/[X] X being git structure to get this data: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/987beb6a5c817b53da820562854bdebe

They then reversed the encryption method to get the actual password seen above. Sombra is trying to get everyone to find some dirt on the company president because apparently he's "dirty corrupt and greedy".

Not sure where it's going from here.

I'm probably a little off on details above, but that's the gist of it.

I'm congratulating you for getting in here. I only wanted to know if you were ready or not. (Hey, it's really difficult to get good help lately... you should see some of the clowns I'm working with). For now, let's continue with the true challenge: taking down Lumerico Corp president Guillermo Portero. Why? Because he's a greedy and corrupt man, and an abominable thief. His plan of bringing in line the most powerful and biggest zigurat the 1st of november us nothing more than a deceit, an elaborate plan by his gang to become even more influential in the people of Mexico and get more money. And who's gonna pay for that? Common people, the ones that are always forgotten.

I've started upgrading my protocols so that they are used to take down the Lumerico Corp infraestructure and Los Muertos are also trying to go against the corruption. Meanwhile, search the Lumerico Corp site for info we can use against the bastard, or better, get his username and password so that hundreds "not so favorable" facts about the president start popping up.

I was able to get the username and pass of a Lumerico Corp employee, start here:

A lot of Symmetra players aren't really aware which direction the teleporter will spit players out, and so teammates who use it end up running towards spawn for a moment until they get their bearings. Maybe the placement hologram should have a big flashing arrow indicator.

I think there already is an indicator arrow in the graphic but you're right, it should be blinking or brighter or something.

If you've placed more than one teleporter and still don't know there's a directional arrow you deserve whatever comes to you.

I just checked, and while it's there, it's down on the ground and completely cut off the screen unless you tilt way down. So yeah, that's a thing to fix IMO.

Obviously any slightly experienced Symmetra will have figured it out, but I had a whole bunch of games last night where some dope or other kept using weird locations and pointing the team at spawn all the while.

SOMBRA SYMMETRA TIME?

edit:

quote:

One quick note, since I already know this will come up. There aren't any Symmetra changes for this patch. Her changes ended up being much more significant and require more time to finish up, but shes feeling pretty great internally so hopefully we can get her out there pretty soon.

Symmetra doesn't need any help to think up evil schemes. Hell she doesn't even think they're evil, it's just "restoring order to the world" when she's blowing up favelas full of refugees to make room for the next big corporate office park.
