**Hanzyl and Gretyl**

clearly we are getting armor, and weapons, and maybe pet cats. It's how we are going to lure back all those who ran to Conan.

Now, this could be unrelated to the construct...and if it is...then I have absolutely no idea what this is about. The first "Work in progress" picture we got was really vague though, so this may be as well.

I disagree. Despite it most likely being impossible to implement, we still can't run/jump faster than a speeding car.
So, call ~~a taxi~~ your operator for the closest hardline location...

Yea, thats my thoughts. I'm pretty sure hitting a hardline and running/hyperjumping is faster than finding a garage (I guess we have to store our cars somewhere eh?), then getting somewhere in the slow traffic we have (speaking of traffic, driving would completely destroy the system of traffic being a user setting and traffic would have to be the same for everyone, or non existent, so that it wouldn't look like cars are going through one another. )

Hmm. Not sure what to make of this. But it would be nice to see a construct that contained stuff from old events, like Morpheus' corpse that kept turning into flies, or Neurophyte's killcode FX (which I never got to see, since she was dead on Linenoise).

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're going to say, "recycled content sucks". But I was happy when they added Neo's RSI to the fight club in Gracy, because I never saw that in-game until it was placed there. And it was cool to see the "code bomb infection" effect again now that it's part of the Bomb Pet luggable. I like seeing stuff that I've either never seen, or haven't seen in ages.

That could be fun, I'd love to be able to fight Unlimit again.

Plus, I'm not too keen on the suggestion we'll be able to drive vehicles in-game...

Cuz... well, y'know....

does anyone recognize the painting or can identify the panting from which it is loosely copied?

definitely could make constructs that had past events in them...i mean i guess with the blue sky for example, you could have the sleepers as random npc's in there and some security guards as the bosses, have the blue sky actually in the construct, they all drop the blue frags, and maybe the security guard drops something to shut off a blue spotlight? idk...just a thought. then you could have a collector in richland somewhere wearing the blue sky shirt and cap and people can collect the shirts and security stuff along with new blue jeans!!! i mean...you gave up hjb and mobius, might as well give the anniversary stuff to other people too.

next stop...assassin's construct with assassin's sky and the assassin mask from a collector... o_O

who knows? could happen...

Fixed.

But like you said I was thinking as I read through your post if it is another construct, what would they give up as a reward? Flint guns? Assassin masks? Where is the line between collectors items and public player items?

**SolidRevolver**

Would be nice to see the Blue Sky screens and scaffolding around again (even though a run down version of it should have been left in Bathary >_< SMILEY And as much as I would like to finally get the Security Cap back after recycling it because I was new back then and didn't realise it was temp collectors item. SMILEY I wouldn't want that stuff given out on mass like Mobius and HJBeta had been before they made it available to all though.

Would be nice to experience all the one time occurances too, like Morpheus bursting into flies and all those other effects.
I think it is safe to say, if it is a construct it will have unique rules like how Datamine... just have to work out why Black Panther cruelty paintings have to do with it all SMILEY

**Nicksie**

I have no guesses on what the work in progress is, but I'm excited to find out! SMILEY

At the place where they're being given out to new players or new accounts. Any collector item which was given out in the early days and isn't being given out freely to new players shouldn't be given as a reward. Imo trial players should have gotten a unique looking, non tradable set of clothing with small buffs to help them along during the early stages of the game, possibly slightly better than the industrial clothing or with different buffs altogether like IS regen, extra max health etc.... I don't think anyone would've complained about that. But past is past, any new reward shouldn't be anything that was previously handed out or rewarded which isn't anymore.

**cloudwolf**

Always loved the idea of archiving the event stuff like blue sky and assassin. To see those corrupted monuments again would be sweet. Also always been a supporter of a run down concert site at bathary too but hey.
