This thread is for discussing Image Retrieval, posted May 28, 2008 on Data Node One.

Sphairo · 05/28/2008 14:41:56

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight, new construct.

0uranos · 05/28/2008 14:43:58

Oh I get it, it's about Two Face in the new batman movie.

CPT_Starschwar · 05/28/2008 14:45:27

Curious. Well, of course that's Morpheus' quote from when he gave Neo the red pill...

Hmm. Oh! Perhaps this new construct or whatever it is will let us relive moments from the movies as mission/quest things?

shinpseudo · 05/28/2008 14:45:59

I've wondered how the Archivists can kneel in such crotch-hugging slacks.

Michael1 · 05/28/2008 14:46:00

*wakes up* Hm.. Morpheus quotes.

CPT_Starschwar · 05/28/2008 14:48:51

And the right half appears to be lacking the green tint. Curious...

SolidRevolver · 05/28/2008 14:50:09

Trinity? =O SMILEY

So we have a Morpheus quote, a Trinity look-a-like, a weirdly placed Archivist (That is, if this is Richland, which it looks like it is) ...

ReProgrammed · 05/28/2008 14:53:23

An EPN crusader Facing an archivest saying a *Neo quote, he said it in the very begining when he gave the computer virus to the guy and then went to the party and met Trinity*. Last one showed the van from the unlimits......Past chapters of the storyline rolled up into one construct?

CPT_Starschwar · 05/28/2008 14:55:33

That's your average female EPN npc.

Mindsweep · 05/28/2008 15:02:50

New EPN's?

...O.o...

Ballak · 05/28/2008 15:02:55

Or is it?

MatrixRefugee · 05/28/2008 15:07:03

Hm... New quest/mission contact in the new construct...?

I pretty sure Morpheus coined that Phrase my friend.

You are correct.

Morpheus' exact words: "Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference, between the dream world...and the real world....?"

The last quote: "Every program that is created must have a purpose; if it does not, it is deleted."

So what do the two have in common?

Perhaps this work in progress has something to do with a dream program? A dream simulation?

The Pill is correct. Go watch the movies moar. SMILEY

Yep, new construct. I'm wondering what the significance of the 2-sidedness is.

odj · 05/28/2008 15:21:47

New construct = good.
Mystery = good.
Debir Court clone = not so good. SMILEY

The Leo · 05/28/2008 15:22:10

Cross instances?

New? That npc-type has been around since their introductionin 4.2

Lezel · 05/28/2008 15:48:25

....

Croesis · 05/28/2008 15:49:06

Would cross instances not require another server?

New construct as evident by the Archivist, I like the idea of a construct showcasing previous documented events.

ZaneZavin · 05/28/2008 16:06:33

It appears to be a historical archive construct.

TonyJaa · 05/28/2008 16:06:36

Very,very interesting sir...

Ah right, I was thinking of "you ever have that feeling where you don't know if you're awake or still dreaming?"

ThePigeonKing · 05/28/2008 17:22:06

Looks like behind Debir Court. In fact the last retrieval looked like Mara West with "the burly van." Looks like the new construct is some kind of Mara proxy.

Aquilae · 05/28/2008 17:25:43

Blackwoods is it? The place where the Mara/Magog gang came from....

ThePigeonKing · 05/28/2008 17:44:38

Why would Blackwood look exactly like Mara?

ZaneZavin · 05/28/2008 17:48:06

Well it could be referring to Blackwood, but Blackwood shouldn't look anything like Mara. Blackwood is a prison in an impenetrable forest. Pretty sure it's eternal night there also.

Steelle · 05/28/2008 17:54:00

In terms of the quotes we've seen so far, they have both been quotes from someone addressing Neo. Significant? I have no clue. Looks like this new construct could be a the city but merely at a different time.

Phluff · 05/28/2008 18:35:36

...I'm totally stumped. :/ I'm guessing one more week, and we will all phigure it out. Contruct-Yes, how this all relates to it? No clue.

ZippyTheSquirrel · 05/28/2008 19:38:32

I'm gonna go with the "historical archive" trick on this one. Perhaps some N30s tossed around, a code bomb quest mayhap, everyone's favorite van... and some Unlimits? Say, what happened to that Anome Sim anyway?

Y'know what I think would be completely pants-messing awesome? If this was a new construct with all the old big events put inside, i.e. Blue Sky, End of the Destroyer, Hunt for Neo, et cetera, with a major full on quest to get the Crush (meatwad) ability.

machete · 05/28/2008 20:32:33

New graphics tweaks?!? SMILEY

No seriously..... New area to explore?? Yes? No? Maybe so?

Hmm hmm hmm...

7h0r · 05/28/2008 23:16:42

HOLY CRAP! I'm actually feeling something I haven't felt in mxo in a long time....lost. This is so great! I'm beginning to wonder if this is more than just a construct, people....

This seems almost too obvious to me.
A la... Old School LE's balled into a timed contruct sort of idea. Maybe triggered through different NPCs in said construct.

Perhaps we're wrong though, ZZ. Perhaps we are wrong.

Siepher · 05/29/2008 04:24:00

Interesting, indeed.

D0nz0 · 05/29/2008 05:26:07

well the guy behind the bin looks like an archivist broker so i think its prob gonna be another construct. SMILEY

Morpheus ("he who forms, shapes, moulds", from the Greek morphe) is the principal Greek god of dreams.

Coro · 05/29/2008 10:53:40

I definately agree that the image hints at two "worlds" which are the same, but different. I also agree with the logic that the scenery has the appearance of Mara and that the Morpheus quote could indicate a revival of past events, or a bizarre parrallel existence. I would love to have a construct (like the org constructs) where instead of one high level NPC (Assassin, Veil, Kid, Morpheus etc) you spawned a Burly Brawl!!!

If this is a new construct where the player can re-live moments from the films... Wouldn't it be a big sell-out, like how "The Path of Neo" came from "Enter The Matrix" just because everyone wanted to play the super-hero? Don't get me wrong, anything which increases the accessibility of the game is great. I'm just surprized that no-one has mentioned the alternative perspective...

Even just considering the development of another construct, so soon after the implementation of Datamine, is testiment to how hard the Dev team are working for us. I think we all know how lucky we are to have such a dedicated (an over-worked/under-staffed) team. Thanks.

Silent Hill? That would be pretty cool...

im still confused....

cloudwolf · 05/29/2008 16:25:47

But if it were merely a historic construct, whats with the ninjas in the dev screenshot thread?

Xline3 · 05/29/2008 20:31:19

I really hope this new.."construct" drops or does a heck of alot good things...like droping very usefull items...

Kawari · 05/29/2008 23:24:25

Synapse777 · 05/29/2008 23:48:10

Could it be a dare I say "Rabbit hole" construct? Like a real wierd one with all kinds of cultures and bedtime story characters in it? Too freaky maybe.

EDIT:

I just woke up from a dream and was thinking of another pipedream; what's the chance that Le Vrai would be in there? Yes, one can dream, non?
