The Hub - Alpha AFK - Xi

Just logged on to home and have found the hub. While there are already a few posts about this I thought there’s no harm in creating a new tread. after all it looks quite a interesting place, saves me from wasting hours playing that helicopter game in the square (which is great fun). I have found the 3 peaces of paper and got the code off the website but am not sure what to do next?, other than aimlessly browse through the online gateway. is this hub actually going to grow and become a much bigger part of home or is it just a pointless extra room to explore?. I seriously hope it grows as I think there’s some potential and it will hopefully add some more depth to home

thanks

Have you spoken to the Robot, Stapler, and obtained the next 2 tasks?

have had a brief chat with Stapler however not really looked in to it yet as it didn’t make to much sense or maybe I just did not pay enough attention . I checked jesses website, found the text file and viewed the chat logs but that’s it so far. Will try again later.

The 'postcard' quiz is straight forward, but i couldn't get to thr correct webpage while loggin in at the terminals; as soon as i just used my own pc, it took 2 mins.
So as not to spoil the fun, i'll say no-more, but if your stuck you'll understand!

Keep looking in there every day or couple of days, they seem to be drip feeding tasks/puzzles to keep folk interested. Looks like the future of home could be good.

Check the notice board, talk to stapler, check your messages etc while in there, they will keep you posted to whats going on.

Re: The Hub - Alpha AFK - Xi

Yep, there have been a few updates now. The 1st teleport spot is open with a hover cycle racing game (4 player), some new blog entries, chat session, videos, and a new mission from Stapler.

Re: The Hub - Alpha AFK - Xi

Just completed the six mini games in the Hexoplis Game test area, accessed through the teleport and have complete Maximum Tilt. Have also finished all the other tasks from stapler. Did not like the new puzzle on the Alpha AFK website called “Co-ordination” took a while to figure out but eventually understood it. Looking forward to the next update and hopefully the new “adventure lobby”

I've already been in the adventure lobby. Its a rubbish text based game completed it in no time, and got my piece of paper for the map thing.

I believe some people were "beta testing" it, and if they sent you an invite while they were in there, you could join them and do the challenge.

Which is how i got both the hexopolis and adventure lobby pieces before they were even open.

Re: The Hub - Alpha AFK - Xi

I don't have a clue what i'm meant to be doing in 'The Hub' so i can complete my initiation in order to use the teleports.

I've found a page with a load of world co-ordinates and you have to out a name into the holopad but got no idea what the answer is

You basically need to work your way through mini tasks normally set via your holomail, and via Stapler (the robot hiding behind the Alphazone teleport things) to earn either bits of a jigsaw or butterfly stamps. By completing tasks and moving the story along new zones / game rooms open up.

I'm lazy so most of the time I just knick the answers off the official Xi forum, or lately this new Xi fan site.

Some of the puzzles have been pretty well thought out. If you need any answers / help give us a shout.

Re: The Hub - Alpha AFK - Xi

I can't figure out the co-ordinate mission.

I really want to get into the other areas as there are hover bikes but i hate doing these bloody text based missions

Re: The Hub - Alpha AFK - Xi

Is that mission 3? The one with the video of Jess in front of the XI billboard?

If so, you don't need to complete that one to get to the Hover Bike game. You can just get there by going to teleport pad 1.

Re: The Hub - Alpha AFK - Xi

Yeah, that is the Jess video one.

*SPOILER*
The co-ordinates are for billboards around europe that contain more letters. Find all of the billboards to get all of the letters for the next code
*END SPOILER*

However you do not need to solve that one to get to the Hover bikes.

Re: The Hub - Alpha AFK - Xi

You should be able to play the one with barriers. the reason they don't let you straight in is because it's a timed event. Also you may have to completed to the tilt bike game 1st but i'm not sure
