If the mad Ninja's made sense to you why do these guys not? o.O
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.

That you can apply simple logic to the randomness of Ninja's included in a cyber punk game astounds me. SMILEY

What's the difference between those jeans and the Fan Faire jeans?
Color. Fanfaire jeans are blue.

I guess I'm color blind or something...  they look like they're the same color to me.

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.

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.
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!!!

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! SMILEY

I don't even know what to say SMILEY 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 SMILEY

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...

To give me some perspective of the new jeans colour compared to the ones that you can only get by registering for the FanFaire I quickly hashed this together...

 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. SMILEY
