ZEN Store

• The Hanging Lantern costume pack is now available in the ZEN Store. This pack includes a variety of lanterns that you can wear on your back. This pack also includes the Shisa action figure.

Tailor
The tailor categories have received a massive overhaul to improve customization options and organization. What does this mean? Over time lots of costume options were placed in incorrect categories and far too many categories were created. We've condensed categories and opened up a lot more options in those categories.

NOTE:

• Since we are removing categories from the game when you enter the tailor with a costume that used one of these removed categories you may need to reapply some of your costume items.
• When a costume contains no longer valid categories the tailor will try to find the best category based on what costumes you are wearing. Your costume may go unchanged when you enter the tailor, or some items may vanish and you'll have to reapply them.
• This will also happen to any saved costume files.
• Nothing will happen to existing costumes as long as you don't enter the tailor with them. When you log in your character will remain the same.
• You will not lose any of your costume unlocks.
• Your scales will remain untouched.
• Because of these massive changes the tailor will be free of charge for a short time so players can adjust their costumes.

I not one to moan at any dev not named Crush but are you kidding? ...I have to fix all my toon's costumes I have 40 toons and about ten costumes on each ._."

Ok short rant over \o/

Loving the sound of all the new additions to the tailor ^_^

*edit* In before Jon, Foxi or Smackwell says "but you don't need to go into tailor idiot". Nepht does. Nepht is Conquer. CCs are our main thing. I use the tailor often. I love you guys but shut up 8D

*double edit* Checked it out. This update is freaking majestic this will make the CC crowd grin ear to ear for like months.

I have a complaint with these changes.

I have a character who was using the Victorian set, with the vest under the jacket. The category shift moving the jacket to the Jackets category has created a rift where two pieces of a set are now exclusive of each other. Long story short, I can't put the jacket on the vest when the two pieces are meant to go together, and it removes a lot of the charm of the very classy formal costume the character had.

Maybe the vest could be moved to be a piece in Jackets as well, to be reunited with its chest wear counterpart? It seems kinda dumb to seperate a set so thoroughly.

Finally the update is live!

I hope the tailor updates continue in the coming weeks .

I would like to ask, which would be proper places to report bugs and suggest adding or changing categories for costume pieces? Also, please DON'T remove costume combinations just because they clip, allow players to decide which costumes to combine, thanks!​​

aschershadow

So far liking the update, but why was the option to add the Emblems on the sleeves removed from the "Jacket Urban" costume piece from the "City Street Defender" costume set from the Zen store?

Yeah, some clips can generate nice effects...

This a Bug actually, those pieces are MEANT to be used together

my only complain as a well is that there are a lot of Tights missing from Medium Skirts and Shorts categories, propably an oversight as well

but except of those 2 categories issues, everything is pretty great

Sounds like another bug​​

I can't use Alien Hybrid with any Mechanical Limbs now can you put alien hybrid skin option into mechanical?

chaosdrgnz43

I'm kind of disappointed how the change didn't make eye auras compatible with beast heads. You'd think that those auras will match their eyes instead of the humanoid head.

saruro1994

Sorry if i did not test it much, but half of my costumes are broke and i can`t put the pices back because they are not there any more, i know you did this with the best intentions but good part of the cliping was a good toll to make some great costumes, no i don`t feel the more freedom you were talking about i just feel i lost a lot of freedom wen doing my costumes. *overreact rant*

and hey first time i use the forums in like umm 2 years ?
*take time to see the changes*

Yeah, heheh maybe i over react at the lost of a few costumes but the general look of this is a good one, like they say "you need to break some eggs to do the omelette"

in General is a good change, thanks for the hard work, and i will try to report any bug i see

markhawkman

could you post a list of specifics?

I noticed that weapon skins were not touched with this update. I'd love for Gadgeteer powers to have the Pulson RF Pistol again. It used to be able to be used with Gadgeteer powers but now its only usable with Munition Powers. To reduce confusion, I'm not talking about the Pulson Pistol which is already there. The Pulson RF pistol is great looking pulp sci fi ray gun that should be with the other gadgeteer ray gun skins.
Its my third time asking for this in the forums since it was removed from the Gadgeteer weapon skins a while back. I don't know what the hardship is making it available? I'd think it would be a simple update. Perhaps the wide burst stance or power emination points are an issue? But there are already weapon skins that don't look quite right with the Experimental Blaster power or Experimental wide burst energy shotgun power such as the Marauder pistol (which is a wonderful weapon skin and I don't care that its power emination point is midway in the gun).

Oh, yet another reason for me to lament over not having my computer! Sounds nice, I wish I could log in and check it out.

Where do we post feedback regarding costume options losses now that this is live?

One area of pain I'm feeling is that the Mechanical upper body category limits Chest & Arms options to "for Robotic" options where unlocked costumes used to not do this. I follow the logic, but as an example, you used to be able to use Robotic Samurai (which has a fully filled arm and torso) with Steampunk robotic arms to form an otherwise solid tech arm that had massive clockwork hinges at the elbow.

xacchaeus

steampunk+robot samurai as mentioned. alien hybrid skin and robot leg (mechanon i think) for a creapy bio mechanical look is also not possible

The brand new lanterns don't hang properly if the character is using the Huge stance (only 1 I checked). They stick either straight out, or even slightly upward, rather than hanging down, as gravity would have us believe they should. Can this be fixed?

pwestolemyname

I'm not sure where to put this note, so I guess I shall just put it here. This is me zoomed in to work on my face sliders. Interesting interpretation you have of "face" there CO. Parties at your house must be quite exciting. This exact thing happens when I am in the "Head" tab. If I zoom out enough to see the whole figure, so I can see the actual head/face region, it is very small.

Can we have Up/Down buttons so that we can not only zoom in on the head, but also the feet? I've never really been able to see my boots at all.

markhawkman

Yeah STO has the issue too. But only in the main game. The costume editor for the Foundry DOES let you drag up/down to look at the head or feet instead of your waist.

decorumfriends

Whew. All costumes on all my 60+ characters and nemeses checked and WHAT have you got against pants?????
Everything could be fixed except this one, but I knew I was using a bug to create it in the first place. It's just a Nemesis, so I'll just leave it as is, unless someone knows how to still "disappear" the torso (figured out the head and arms, but not that).

themightyzenith

Lovely stuff! The lantern pack is a nice little set too
