1. The bandannas aren't blue. None of the clothing is blue. It's "worn" as the text says.

2. Considering it says the jeans are the strongest of all the clothing items, they are probably buffed.


Not too excited about the jeans or sleeveless shirt (I thought the white shirt for females was already sleeveless?) but those glasses look fully reflective and opaque, unlike the normal blockers(m)/reactors(f)


Can you let us have those shoes too? The male ones look nice.

You might want to double check the loot tables to ensure these new sleepwalkers can't drop blue fragments.

He had some kind of blue dot as an item he posted in Assorted Dev screenshots, so he may have just switched the two.

I have a look through the last 6 pages of that Dev Screenshot thread and never saw that item, got the link to it?
That I do like the idea of a concert stage being set up in the construct, should be a run down one in Bathary but this would make that forgiven SMILEY

So those black boots aren't available in some form already?

The boots are mostly copied from the old Sleepwalkers, except I adjusted the tinting a bit. Didn't have time to do another item type and wasn't sure if they were available yet anyway, so they aren't going to be included in update 62.

#36300481556 07/23/2008 16:57:46 Re:Image Retrieval - July 23, 2008

The male shoes aren't available, either.

Hotfix?  SMILEY

I think it would be really cool to have the Sati construct with the Blue Sky and a concert site.  However, if it were up to me, I'd make the Sleepwalkers blue clothing (and the fan-faire jeans) blue ONLY in the construct, turning more of a whitish/gray in the regular Matrix.  I really detest the rule breaking fan-faire jeans as they are.

And if anyone says "some rules can be bent, others can be broken", I'm going to pop them in the face.

*Glances at what he just typed.* Uh. I want the old thumbs-up smiley back.

Anyway, those jeans look somewhat... shiny. Are they shiny like the Ivora Slacks, or does it just seem that way from this angle 'cos of the faded look?

Am I the only one who thinks this is completly and totally lame?

They're not even trying to hide the fact that this is recycled content... to be placed in Sati's Construct, the ultimate recycled content being a copy-pasted Debir's Court...

*chews on tail nervously*

This isn't all there is, is there? Meh, at least the story's getting interesting again.

While Zippy's right about the whole 'recycled content thing' it's not like anyone actually expects a lot of completely new stuff to show up any time soon anyway.  That issue aside, this looks like it's going to be really cool.  It'll bring back old memories for those who were there and give the rest of us a chance to experience it ourselves... kinda.

Some of the old content we've had has been some of the best, you know.

#36300481694 07/24/2008 00:28:15 Re:Image Retrieval - July 23, 2008
I agree with having a concert site in the construct, that'd be awesome. Maybe playing the old music videos but with a weird faded/scratched effect?
That said, why would Sati want to bring these guys back anyway? I can understand funkily colored ninjas but evil fanatics who wanted to force everyone into enslavement? Doesn't sound like the kinda guys a little girl would be interested in to me.
As for the sky, it could be a cycle of sati's sky and all the different (remember it got progressively crazy) of the blue sky.
Oh and the jeans and shoes (at least the unique male ones, which should so be made available in future) are nice but the rest is all a bit meh to me, just grey versions of perfectly common clothing.

Because Colorful Super Ninjas are a popular youth theme for cartoons and action stories (See: Naruto), combined with martial arts stories from Seraph it makes sense for her to try her hand at RSI Creation with playful fighters with reallllly long headbands.
Mohawk serial killers? Not so much.

Zippy, no, they're not trying to hide it, because they assume--correctly--that everyone who currently plays MxO already knows that they do not have the budget, staff or resources with which to provide totally original content.

The story getting interesting again is the only fresh content we are going to see in MxO. SOE considers the game "matured" and has put us out to pasture, with a skeleton crew dev team to keep it on life support for the indefinite future. The fact that the devs find ways to use the existing content in new ways is a testiment to their ingenuity, and they need to be applauded, NOT derided for "recycling content" which is all they have the means to do!

I am happy for any new material, be it "recycled content" or not, because it shows we still have a dev team that wants to give us new stuff! I'd still be playing even if we ONLY got bug fixes and new crits every month, so this kind of thing is a BONUS.

So YAY for the sleepwalkers coming back and YAY for the new clothes!!!
