well the CM team stated they were making this one harder than the Halloween event, and really advertised how hard it would be on the streams
maybe it's just my perception of hard that's out of place but given this was a CG replacement & the fact they pushed hard on the complexity of this I was expecting it to last more than a few hours!
To be fair I don't think they did.
That's what I thought at first, so I watched that bit again and they talk about there being something for us to find today. Then Arf goes on to talk about how they are planning to do some really hard things for us. I think we all just assumed this would be hard.
Of course with brute force things you always run the risk of it either being over very quickly, or dragging on for an age of the Earth. Now it could have been found by sheer coincidence, or not I don't know, but I was surprised that when I mapped the planet that a marker appeared on it saying 'Unknown'. I am slightly confused by the second Galnet article as it had co-ords in it, so I get the impression they weren't expecting the POI to show up after mapping the planet. Otherwise the co-ords are irrelevant. It does narrow it down to a planet, but that could have been done without providing co-ords.
