Steelle · 06/05/2008 08:27:11

Thats pretty cool. I still can't quite pick out how this construct is gonna work.

Phluff · 06/05/2008 08:27:54

ok.. now I'm more confused than ever. o.O

I bet Rarebit is snickering at us all. SMILEY

Thats what she said.

Can't wait to see where this leads.

-Collbard- · 06/05/2008 08:31:28

Wow, somehow I completely missed Sati in the second picture until like the third time I looked at it. Well a lot of people thought or hoped that this might be a construct that Sati, Seraph, and possibly Morpheus Sim are hiding in. It would make sense with the Sati sky, the Mara environment, and...Sati. And who wouldn't want ninjas in there construct?

Or maybe this isn't a construct...maybe Sati will unleash her wrath upon the city with constant good weather and crazy ninjas!

Yasamuu · 06/05/2008 08:32:17

Yeah, I still can't hazard an accurate guess at where this is going. Looks pretty sweet though.

Still... Ninja ^_^

Edit: Incase anyone missed this screeny in the other thread:

TonyJaa · 06/05/2008 08:35:25

A use for Debir Court???Why is Sati down there??

Steelle · 06/05/2008 08:36:40

Is the helicoptor in the first one new. It looks like the model for the news chopper but the wrong colour scheme.

-Collbard- · 06/05/2008 08:37:12

Wow Yasamuu, I didn't even notice that. I guess because I didn't scroll to the right. Well, that seems to confirm it. I'm guessing we have to kill the ninjas though...I wonder why.

Weskie · 06/05/2008 08:41:30

It's Smith!!! As a ninja....

And somehow grew boobies.

TheSorrows · 06/05/2008 08:42:10

I've always been a little .. whaa to that scree shot. Nice to (i'm hoping) connect the dtos finally.

Looks Awsome Rarebit, regardless of what is really is.

Shadow Griever · 06/05/2008 08:44:01

holy hell, I just realized Sati is down in the second picture.

Ninjas, quotes and locations from the films and older add ons from the game

Rare, whatever you have planned. You have some of us waiting with bated breath.

SolidRevolver · 06/05/2008 08:48:55

I want to know how that... *thing* attached to the ninja's head is working. By guess is it is working like the Quicksilver 'Pew Pew' trail, only with a cloth texture which is very clever.

And we have a name of the construct, 'Sati's Playground' ^_^

ReProgrammed · 06/05/2008 08:54:47

Sati's playground is full of ninja's who have shadows that move like limbs.....interesting...very interesting...

You beat me to it.

I can't wait to see where this goes. What else awaits us in... Sati's Playground.... *creepy music*

ManicV · 06/05/2008 09:00:20

What do ninjas have to do with Sati?

It just seems a bit... odd.

FrozenFyre · 06/05/2008 09:01:48

Very interesting - double the images, double the confusion!!

I totally misinterpreted the first quote - I read it as "Down Here! I'm God! I fell down a manhole and..." - herm, do lightning bolts hurt?

Ok so it's actually the trainman quote, but interesting if it's Sati's playground that means that the munchkin has supreme control over what goes on the there - does that lso mean she created the construct 'cause that would tell us a lot about her. Her power over the weather is intriguing as it is, but to be able to create a whole digital world could have implications for the future storyline, and with the whole SSR thing going on in Datamine it looks like the devs are going to an effort to give each construct it's own story.

I'm very intrigued by the Ninja and the thing on her head - from the first pic it looks like something that plugs into her head, but I'm guessing not! Could it be a new clothing reward for the construct perhaps? Or is this a new character we have to look out for?

All in all muchly intrigued

Maybe we will learn soon why Sati is so important. And maybe this revelation will have something to do with ninjas... I think this is clearly the construct where Seraph and Sati (and even maybe the Morpheus sim) are hiding since the Oracle's death. Maybe they're using an old archive version of the Matrix, like the old Zero One from a recent LE.

Criingey · 06/05/2008 09:12:50

i think its pretty safe to say its completely unrelated to any matrix story.. like everything else in this game SMILEY

CPT_Starschwar · 06/05/2008 09:16:20

Most interesting.

0uranos · 06/05/2008 09:17:41

What we know so far :

- It's called Sati's Playground and Sati may be a collector (or a mission contact) in it

- It look exactly like Mara

- Ninjas NPCs everywhere that drops Shuriken, there clothes are not a reward

- New helicopter and van

Anything I missed ?

That's what I think too! SMILEY

Although I hope this doesn't mean that maybe the Oracle really is gone for good SMILEY

DaJustifier · 06/05/2008 09:27:07

well Rarebit has been able to keep my attention. I keep rememberin him stating before he was going to make a very different construct with the next one he makes. Makes me wonder how differnt this is going to be.

Are the ninjas Sati's bodyguards? or mean her harm?

0uranos · 06/05/2008 09:28:52

I still hope we will have a power plant archive with zombies someday...

Telemancer · 06/05/2008 09:30:44

I want to play in "Sati's Playground"!!! when? when?

T

Croesis · 06/05/2008 09:38:57

I have a feeling that the Ninjas aren't supposed to be there... Also if you see Sati in the construct and she moves, I hope they've sorted out the Noodle Sati thing...

That makes me think about something : Is she ever gonna grow up ?

Skull101 · 06/05/2008 09:45:04

It's all clear to me, they are bringing the past back all in one construct, and I bet you anything those ninjas mean that the Assassin is coming back! They are finally gonna nerf the mask and make it so whoever kills all teh ninjas in the assassin's army and then the assassin gets a second hand assassin mask! YAY for ninjas and their assassin leader!

Oh and Sati is gonna be chillin at Debire court when this happends so we can trade all the pretty ninja stars and dead blow flies to her then everybody happy.

How do you figure they drop Shurikens? Since a mob in international allready do that...

It'd probably cause more drama about the game changing something in the Matrix universe. More so than the reinsertion twist. There was no real evidence that reinsertion was possible was possible, but Sati has to grow up some day... unless her age is linked to the simulation being a perpetual 1999 (wasn't that something else confirmed in the game and cause drama...?).

Wait, I thought the first post was sarcastic. Now I can't tell if the second one is too...

Ninjas linked to the assassin how? Oh yea, they aren't.

Null.

Skull101 · 06/05/2008 11:40:36

haha, no, it does look intresting though, however, really ADD MORE TO THE MATRIX KTHX.

Constructs are constructs but you need to draw people to like downtown and international more, add really cool things to those areas to make people want to go and farm there. Constructs are nice but you are only giving people something to do then they get bored. New places to explore are always good but why not add more content to the city that we already have? Put Taining sims in dojos, ones that never die and you can beat on all you like. Make it so some live event charactors can be in the city at all times, like the merv. Make him lvl 100 put him on top of the club hel and add like 50 npcs all around him, add a nice drop to it if someone does manage to kill him and there ya go. Nice content.

Otherwise keep up the good work Rarebit you are doing us all proud. (Not sarcasim)

privaronT · 06/05/2008 11:57:12

Time for the real enemy....

Ra2za · 06/05/2008 12:02:01

Quick questions

A. When can we play in this mystery

B. Whats that thing coming off the ninjas head? Im confused

CANT WAIT!

This, if it is in the IRs now, seems like it will be in the next big update which is exactly 3 weeks away. Unless it is delayed for further testing.

That thing from the back of her head looks like it is just part of her clothing that I think is the Quicksilver glow effect only with the clothing texture which will give it the look of having physics which I still think is ingenious.

Rarebit · 06/05/2008 12:47:00

Siepher · 06/05/2008 12:50:41

Ninja ftw.

When are we going to get pirates?

Neoteny · 06/05/2008 12:51:08

Will we ever get something like that ridiculous bandana?

That'd be pretty cool.

Kybutra · 06/05/2008 12:52:36

Can we at least get the gloves?
