DavideLP Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I am happy if Mike and the guys are having fun doing this because we want their happiness. Said this, I don't appreciate the lack of explicity in a situation where they play with people feelings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPLStaff Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 No one even knows what the endgame on this is. One thing is for sure - they are hyping up something big by doing all of this. They knew how many people would be tuned in on this. Let's see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It seems like whoever planned this has no idea how much expectation this would create for some people. This band is the most important part of many people's lives, and this disappointment goes far beyond just a simple joke. 8 minutes ago, Smarky said: Yes they will. No matter how 'annoying' it is, how many times it counts back and forth or what not, the minute something is actually announced it will be covered by media worldwide, this is just for the smaller fanbase that follow things a little more closely, the amount of people watching the YouTube stream video was in the low thousands, what you are experiencing is the bubble effect and anyone annoyed thinking this is bad marketing is falling for the same trap. The attention will be plenty. Everyone that watched and is annoyed, even if you don't continue to watch, you are still going to come back at some point to see what it was, every single person will, so not a single person complaining has been lost and when the announcement is made it will be covered much wider. Those Marketing experts in this thread claiming it is some form of disaster, please post pictures of your marketing degrees and your resumes showing all your years working in Marketing, thanks. I don't know. When you end up going against your audience, eventually they get tired of you. Sure, if they announce in a year that they're coming back, they'll get media attention, but creating new anticipation for an announcement could be a problem. They gained attention with just a clock. Can they pull that off again? Another thing: If you feel so offended by other people's opinions, why are you on a forum?

vinifeijo Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 it totally will be 300 hours. Countup to 100 (some news will be releasead) and then countdown to zero again (to release something). The video on instagram starts at 5 seconds remaining and ends até 9 seconds. That was deliberate. Then the glitch at 9:05. And the countup to 100 and then a countdown to zero again will be at September 5th. There's a lot of evidence now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berryaaron11 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I had a suspicion that the timer was going to be nothing, considering the ∅ symbol means null/nil, and in the computer world, null/nil literally translates to the word "nothing" or 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyesburning Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Does someone have a screen recording of the glitch at 9:05? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalvarLP Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The Fibonacci sequence is a numerical sequence in which each term from the third onward is the sum of the two preceding terms. I Think i got it. 100 Hours, Now 200Hours. Finish in 09/05/24. So much crazy? lol edit: The Fibonacci sequence is represented by the letter phi (ϕ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarky Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 It's not like we didn't get anything. We got September 5th. It's not much, but that is still pretty huge if it's the release of something. 18 hours ago, MalvarLP said: The Fibonacci sequence is a numerical sequence in which each term from the third onward is the sum of the two preceding terms.

Then I realise it's just the normal code for that character and I realise I've had enough internet for the day and need to shut up. This makes us go crazy. Hope everyone enjoys whatever comes.

But that is the point of these teases, to make it cryptic and you have to guess / keep everyone guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-RoadsUntraveled Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 this isnt a normal album release or tour announcement the band ended abruptly after Chester passed away this time we deserved respect some of us are still hurt, just look at what Oasis did just a normal announcement that made fans happy. i was fucking excited and this troll was unnecessary, i feel offended by the band. fuck you whoever decided that it was cool or amazing to do this.

Xelawie Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I think while being disappointed, this was a genious move. The new insta reel already has more traffic than the initial one. There will be memes about this all over the Internet, people will make reels and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftshoe18 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I think people are taking this way too harshly. Does it suck that nothing substantial happened today? You bet. I waited around all morning waiting for something to happen. I'm pretty disappointed. But people acting like the band betrayed them personally is way too fucking far.
