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.

some rules can be bent, others can be broken

This is very awesome stuff.  Yes, it's recycled...durrrrh!  The important thing to consider is that this is something new to do and yet another reason to enter the Playground.

All that remains now are red-eye agents and Unlimits!

finally I can get one of the grey NPC style bandanas

I don't even know what to say These are so wonderful!!

I love the female sunglasses, and they come in three shades!! The jeans are amazing and the shirts are a great replacement for the white anniversary shirt for the body type 3's! The long hemline sleeveless shirts sort of make the body type 3's tummy pooch out a little

Thank you so much!

I knew this construct would be awsome, in time of course. But... Rarebit, pls this time, if you really must make an uber item from an uber box, pls make a black head gear... PLEASE!!!!! I don't care about the rest of the clothes, if you want me to pwn ninjas then fine but if you want me to pwn some nooby cyphs that think they are bad, then, I had better get a reward kthx.

To be serious though, I think this is a very creative thing the devs are doing. I think they can be alittle more creative with what comes outa the boxes though. I mean make something intresting and please listen to the players, some of our ideas are really good and if you work on something cool for just the players like with the orginial patchers headgear then I will be happy. I know you want that item to be unique but really. white clothes are over rated, and it's just as bad as blue clothes, I know no one would have ever seen a white hatdana in the matrix untill I suggested it, others did to but it was mostly me, the hatdana orginially came from the cyphs in missions so, for a really stronge reward, and idc if its just got resistance like the pink gi, I wants a black headgear kthx.

 On a side note, after these cyphs are done and stuff, perhaps you could add alittle more to the construct, like make normal pandoras boxes useable there. If it's a construct just for boxes, I think the original pandora's boxes should be apart of it. And maybe you could make some boxes that spawn enemies from the lower lvl contructs, ohhh... And pls, fix the drop rate on those lvl 50 enhanced weapons... I still only have 1 or two of them and would like more kthx. I suggest a vender that sells the guns for high prices, or make a quest type thing that always gives one of the guns...

 Awsome, the Sleepwalkers make a come back in a certain way. I loved the Blue Sky Event, especially the blue sky itself, would love to see that again. Still the new clothing looks cool and I bet quite a few Cypherites are going to want this new clothings.

Question:  Why do they look like blue jeans rather than blue slacks?

No level 40 version then?

He was showing the differences as the level goes up..  "the more worn the more powerfull" comment he said refers to this.. They get lighter the higher the level. 

And for those saying they dont see the difference in colors,  his last pic shows they are indeed different colors. So you need to adjust your monitor or your colorblind if you dont see the fanfaire color difference.

To shed a little more sunlight on the visual difference between some of the jeans:

I'm assuming your question is backwards, cuz they're supposed to be blue jeans, hence, why they look like them.

These look like slacks to me:

To clear some confusion.  I meant that if we're going for sleepwalker stuff, why are we getting jeans instead of slacks? 

I was in the Blue Sky Event, but it was a while ago so I'm not sure what particular type of clothing they had.

Hey! I've already done that! Just because you have access to the items already and can spawn several NPC's and equip them with all the different types of jeans and display them in a, quite frankly, much better way than I could doesn't mean that you can top what I did...

Ok... maybe you can...

Jeans are more Sleepwalkery. I wasn't able to make them back when I did the original Sleepwalker NPCs, so I just had to use the slacks since those were the closest thing I had on hand (the more jeansy-looking pants texture that was available to me then defaulted to being all shiny, which I didn't want for the Sleepwalkers).

The Image Retrieval picture has them facing north, so their front is in shadow, and it's a bit harder to see the color difference there.

Because:

Awesome super high res skinned Denims > Blue slacks 

EDIT: Post 5000 =O

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!

I had a friend make me the closest version of the Sleepwalker outfit they could find, ((thanks again Starschwar)) but it won't match up to a tattered version of the actual Sleepwalkers!

The Blue Sky event was one of my favorites, if not my favorite, events. Because, I was always a fan of the masked and blue look, even these clothes are tattered blue, and I liked their extremist way of going about Cypherism, and tried to illustrate that into my cyph char, it did not work out in the end, but I still think they're cool.

I agree with the other people saying Blue Sky into Sati's construct

And I am really excited for this update.

Hopefuly this update will come up before august, because stupid azz me cancelled my account. And NO! I am not reactivating it, I'll just hope and pray that it'll come out b4 august, and ppl will help me loot. TY.

Oh...and wait....what's this? I take a closer look at image of Sleepwalkers...

GREY BANDANA!!! The long awaited grey bandana is here! Well...coming here! W00h00! Ty Rarebit

I am just really pumped for this update...excited...

Did I mention woo?

EDIT: Post 5000 =O

Oh, hum, fine, the grey pants and 'dana look nice, but I was kinda hoping for something other than a Sati's Playground add-on. Really all I'm looking forward to is the next unique NPC types for storyline purposes (i.e. Unlimit, Commandos, Intruder) ...

I agree.  And I too will take the less popular contrarian view, of which I posted on another thread today but which applies here:

What I would like to see.

First of all I think we should have a morotorium on Gear to Farm For.  I'm happy we have Datamine and Satiland.  New Gear-based content is fine but I think it comes at the expense of story-based content.  I'm not sure how a Pink Gi fits into the grand scheme of things.  Or Sleepwalker clothes.  All nice but since at least one character of mine is a collector it just makes me a little frustrated, okay great, add another thing to my to do list, which is already backlogged as it is. 

Some of the best added content in my opinion since launch has been the Pandora's Box missions and the Archive Missions.  Why? Because with the PB missions you have a really solid and really interesting story arc.  And the Archive missions are great for referencial purposes.  The goodies you get from both are just added bonuses in my opinion.

What I'd like to see instead of more Gear to Grind for, is more storyline based content.  Even little things like file drops from missions like we used to have (like newspaper clippings and audio recordings).

I like the added lowbie content, and the addition of the additional Mercury mission.  I'd like to see more Neighborhood Contact missions, flesh these guys out more.  Those are wonderfully immersive of Mega City.  Anything storyline-based or even just immersive in the sense of fleshing out Mega City would be great.

If we now have the ability to add new constructs, maybe the next one should be entirely information or storyline based rather than gear based.  I always thought the Archivist Society themselves were prime material to mine.  I always suspected the Main Library in Chelsea was never made accessible because the original devs thought that might make a great place for further development.  Imagine going to the Main Library and having the ability to access the Archivist Society's archives directly, in a sepearte construct or whatever.  The possibilities for story-based content are very exciting!

So in summation, hopefully we can take a break from Gear-Based content for a while and take a look at Storyline-Based content for a change.  As it stands the only storyline based new content we have are crits and LEs and that's it.

Ah-hah! Thanks for the comparison Rare (thanks to Vinia too, but the IR image was a bit misleading, as has been said ). I guess that clinches it: I'm paying £20 for a touch of blue. As nice as the denim texture is on the Sleepwalker jeans, I do need some colour.

Man, I'm gonna look back on this bizarre purchase in a few years and wonder what in god's name I was thinking.

Tchah! I have expressed interest prior to this. Why didn't you notice?! You should be paying attention to everything I say, blast it!

I won't be going to Fan Faire, but those jeans do look particularly good. Might bring a bit of colour back into Procurator's monotone (though I still think pretty cool ) outfit. I can afford them (I love the money aspect of having a full time job), but is it ultimately worth it?

Well, never fear. I won't be adopting a bright pink/purple/magenta colour scheme and take a sudden liking to sparkles.

That's the next step. It is... inevitable...

Buuuut, back on topic... I'd like to see what buffs these have on them, my wanting them hangs on that detail as Vinia isn't really a jeansy person...

Probably 23 points on all resistances..Besisdes Rare doesn't want to give us "uber" items!!

That must be the dev side of the ticket system to pass things between each other.

Ooh. Kind of like Bugzilla, only this looks way better.

Huh, I like the Devs' optimism. Look at the tasks' priorities: 1 is 'No', 2 is 'No. Go away.' I daren't guess what priority 3 is.

3 was NoGo not 2...

Pretty sure people are looking into it a little too deep, Rare obviously posted that in a reassuring matter (that we needn't keep reminding him) and it's quite clearly posted as being set for Update 63.

Now if only they'd start working on some of the backlogged tasks instead of just adding new ones for every update
