Personal Data Network?
« on: December 07, 2012, 06:09:06 PM »
I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in Multimedia...

Found this in a pigg file.

If you're curious:

texture_library/GUI/CREATION/HybridUI/IngameUI/

stage1b.pigg from beta, it's the first file in the ingame ui folder

Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

That is strange. Since it's part of the group with icons shown at the login screen it can't be something "in-game".

Did a little more pigg diving to find something else that might correlate to that but no luck.

We must investigate more!

Probably a feature that was scrapped after its' icon has been already produced.
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

Either that or some dev tool maybe?

Perhaps... this was the icon for the fabled "City Vault"

But it was introduced in I24 (the beta files) and not present in the current I23 build. So it must be something new.

Well, yeah.

But Horseman probably meant that it was to be a new I24 feature, but got scrapped, and icon left in the files.
