New Costume Bugs

Archived PostArchived Post Posts: 1,156,071 Arc User
edited February 2013 in Gameplay Bugs
Let's all create a list of issues with the new costume pieces. Throw down any you've found and I'll and update them in the OP. Please give a brief description if posting a broken costume piece.

Not Account Wide:
Lemurian Back Spikes
Lemurian Tail Spikes
Demon (All)
Fire Demon (All)
ARGENT Pistol

Bugged/Broken:
Superconductor (All) - No glow available on any pieces. The NPCs clearly have it.
Irradiate Jackets - Instead of showing the layer underneath, the holes in these jackets go all the way through the character.
PSI Shoulders (male) - Both sets of PSI shoulder pads are bugged on male characters. They stick out at odd angles instead of being symmetrical.
90's Tights texture - The textures and bump maps are not displaying properly on both the 90's top and bottom. See post #2 for full details.
90's Boots (female): On larger characters the upper calf clips through the boot.
90's Straps: Both the C-store and Primus recognition versions do not have a glow slider.
Bird Legs - The Bird People legs do not line up properly with most of the feet and shoe options given for them.
Superconductor Helm - The bubble helmet clips through the top of some character's heads.
Nephilim Armor - These new nephilim pieces are identical to the 400 Day veteran reward pieces and should show as unlocked for those players.
Cyberpunk Torso - Not available to female characters

Wrong Icon:
90's Straps - The icon displays a visor and is labeled as boots.
PSI Shoulders - The icon displays the back piece.
PSI Back Cross - The icon displays the shoulders.
Red Banner Mask - The icon displays the Red Winter pieces.

Other Quibbles:
Irradiate Pieces - All 5 of the new Irradiate costume parts are male only. While you're fixing the above issue, could at least some of these be made to work with females?
Superconductor Tights - The new superconductor top and bottom were made their own category instead of being added to the list of tights skins, and thus aren't compatible with jackets or pants. I believe there is a similar issue with the new 90's and Cyberpunk tights. Can this be fixed?
Costume List - Could a dev post a list of the new Alert and boss related costume drops? Right now it's essentially unknown which alerts and bosses to repeat for drops and which ones to leave be. If posting it on the forums isn't feasable, can a list be released to someone like Lohr?

    PRIMUS 90's recog costume set:
    http://files.champions-online.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Blogs/Recognition/Primus.jpg

    1 - Inaccurate icons and incorrectly named parts.
    • Suspender/dual chest straps have an icon for visor and are labelled as boots. This part also doesn't unlock the visor, only the dual straps.

    2 - Missing parts.
    • Set doesn't contain the visor (which is slightly different than 90's visor from C-Store Iron Age set).
    • Nor it doesn't contain the belt. Not really problem for me since I have the Iron Age set, but PRIMUS set was advertised with a belt included.

    3 - Messed textures.
    • Gloves can't be switched between the metal, brushed metal and leather options, unlike the boots.
    • The gloves and the boots doesn't contain the separate color channels on various parts. These parts can be colored only as a whole.
    • The torso tights are particulary bugged. This part can't be switched to metal with cloth pattern, unlike the leg tights. Instead, it contains a completely different metallic pattern. Moreover, switching detail resets previously selected pattern.

    4 - Warped parts.
    • Dual chest straps not only doesn't follow female anatomy when switching to the various breasts sizes but also are terribly distorted on smaller breasts.

    Hm. Not sure if it's a bug or not, but the female avian warrior set has some pieces missing I think. It's got most of the pieces from the heavily armored avian warrior look but the chestplate, and many of the avian warrior hip items are not useable with the bird legs/feet.

    Example, the heavy armor chestplate that is available for males is missing from females, but the heavy shoulders, heavily armored feet, gloves, hip item etc. are all available.

    The feathered skin for males has a bra. It's...kind of goofy and hard to hide.

    Also, the avian warrior heads are tied to skin color rather than being individually colorable.

    Many of the superconductor pieces appear to not have glow options, though the vendor quite clearly has some glow. I've noticed this on the helmet mostly.

    So far the only costume pieces I've bought are the Superconductor set and the Purple Gang Tommy Gun. Pieces I've discovered are the Epic Revelation Armor, Lemurian Gloves, Back Spikes, Tail Spikes, Loin Cloth, and Viper Full Helm Fanged.

    As expected the Tail and Back Spikes were not account wide unlocks, however I noticed the Cobra Lords Chain Belt and Foxbat Fan Head have been unlocked, which is not possible because I have neither bought them nor have I fought any Foxbat Fans or Cobra Lords since the overhaul patch.

    Perhaps the Tail and Back Spikes are unlocking the wrong things on the account?

    The reason the belt and head are already unlocked is because the belt is identical to the Infernal/Cursed belt that was released a while back, while the head is available in one of the C-store costume packs. ;)

    The DEMON & Fire Demon pieces are all character unique, not account wide.

    The Cyberpunk torso piece is not available to female characters, neither is the Supercharged torso.

    I've got one. Shoulder: PSI Neophyte Armor. The left shoulder piece is angled up compared to the right shoulder one:

    Shoulder Armor Front & Shoulder Armor Back.

    This is unaffected by stance.

    Ah right, my bad, well, still not the reason for restrictions.

    Also Vikorin's Hip's Layer missing a glow option on it.

    Guy sweetland's neck located too high in relation to chest, and is floating in the air.

    Glow works fine on Vik's belt for females.
    Sweetland's neck seems to be positioned fine as well.


    Bugs:
    Vikorin's shoulders are misaligned on females.
    Valerie's tights have no glow and are not available under med skirts.
    Jack Fool's neck cannot be set to leather or metal.
    Vikorin's boots have improperly scaled textures on the back of the boot.
    The Avian set has so many things wrong with it I wonder if it was even proofed before releasing.

    No superconductor tights for digitgrade legs.

    Probably not a bug, but an annoying oversight nonetheless.

    Certain unlocked costume pieces are not appearing on the drop down menus rather you have to find them on the filter search.

    The problem with this is that I don't know what unlocked pieces I did get, recently I picked up the Maniacs Motorcycle Boots but they don't appear on the feet drop down menu, I filtered out "Maniacs" and got Maniacs Boots. Sure I could always look that up, but I forget what costume pieces I unlocked with the many I have.

    Near as I can tell the Superconductor Chest Armor is Male only.

    Also, the Superconductor Tights clearly have glow option on the fourth color, when the characters wearing them for demo clearly do.

    I have actually seen the jacket and pants on a male character, so the issue may not be universal. Make sure you're checking the same type of jacket. It may also be that the piece isn't an account wide unlock, so check other female characters as well.

    Using the 90s jacket and have only a half-dozen bracer choices for it, all of them nonsensical (like tesla rings and huge spiked ones), and NO long gloves options at all.

    The jacket's sleeves end at the elbow, there should be no restriction on bracers or gloves.

    (edit to add)

    The 90s boots from the PRIMUS rec vendor appear to have severe clipping issues on the back of the calves for female models, despite the NPC model looking fine. Not a single one of my females can wear those without the back of the calf clipping through.

    The 90s tech long gloves have a clipping issue on the left side. The left glove appears thinner on the upper arm part than the other, allowing the bicep to clip through at the top.

    Mechassassin's Arms are usable only in Long Glove category, which makes them unusable with Mechassassin's Bracers. Should work like roin'esh blades imo, and be available in just Hands & Short Gloves category.
    Also it lacks glow option, while his shield got it.

    Because any and all possible Clipping! is the best guess why not.

    And because the system can't work with individual items, only an entire category. So if clipping is possible with one jacket, every jacket can't have it.

    I can't get the Superconductor head parts to glow, which looks terrible given how it shares a similar look with parts of the chest that do glow.

    The character I can use the pants on does not allow me to have the jacket, so it not a character-specific issue. And I'm using the "Chest" search to find "Bursting" items, and only the pants show up. But I did unlock this one in the first day of Alerts.

    On one hand they say "CLIPPING!!!" On the other hand I can wear the 90's faceplate with all sorts of clippy crappy looking mouth accessories.

    No consistency whatsoever.

    One of Demon costume drops has a Mystic Cowl icon, but it doesn't unlock it, so i may assume it's a bug and it should, otherwise why would they bother making an icon for it?

    Can't wear Dr. Ka's Greaves with Medium Skirts (which happens to be what Dr. Ka's skirt is), thereby rendering the option to wear the entire set impossible.

    Maybe this is working as intended, but Cyberpunk legs are tights-only. The cybernetic leg itself covers the exact same amount of leg as robotic legs, so why isn't it under Robotic Left/Right/Both legs with the tights actually being a completely new pair of tights (so we can use other tight options with the cyberpunk leg, or use the cyberpunk tights without the leg, or wear skirts over the cyberpunk legs, etc.)?

    There is a female NPC in the UNTIL Recog store wearing the Superconductor Chest Armor. The fact that female PCs can't equip it has got to be a bug.

    Don't know if anyone mentioned this but on the cyberpunk chest for males, (haven't checked females) where the collar connects to the neck, there's a visible gap where you can see through your character.

    I expect that since the set includes a jacket with a high collar that can be worn over the chest, no one noticed since the collar hides the gap.

    The Lemurian Gloves are also bugged.
    It unlocks 'Lemurian Hand Wrap' and 'Lemurain Hand Wrap Claws' in the long gloves category, but the former isn't available to male characters.

    There you go thinking again. Why would Cryptic offer that for us at all?

    And for that note, WHY in the world do we have for the legs Cyberpunk Dual, Cyberpunk Left, Cyberpunk Right, but NO Cyberpunk None?!? I want JUST the tights portion of it to wear without all the heavy armor stuff on top!

    Come ON, Cryptic! Think!

    Realsorceror, thanks for posting this thread.

    You mention the Nephilim Armor as being the same as the 400 Day veteran reward pieces. I just unlocked my 400 Days today, so yay me. But I agree, these parts should show unlocked in the Recog stores. (fortunately I hadn't purchased any Recog versions yet.)

    Likewise, I recently purchased the Iron Age and Roin'Esh sets from the C-Store. The former "90s" items do not show unlocked in the Recog store either. Or are they different pieces in the Recog store than in the C-Store? Also, I got a Roin'Esh Shoulder Pads drop in-game that still had the blue mask on it. I unlocked it and it said Costume Unlocked, but when I check the Tailor I still only see the two C-Store Shoulder Pads.

    :(

    Well I took a (very) short break from the game and came back to find that a recent patch removed the glow options from the 90's Jacket and 90's Jacket with straps. I know it had glow when it came out as several of my characters have it on existing costumes but if I were to edit those I would lose the glow and of course I cant add glow to those pieces in future costumes.

    Demon (All)
    Thank gods I keep a spreadsheet (list) of costumes I've unlocked. I was just about to buy Demon Gloves of Recognition for 10 Primus Recogs on one of my characters when the list showed me I'd already purchased it with another.

    The store shows it as not unlocked... I checked your list and see that it's not account wide. Do we know if this is intentional or a bug?

    Punk Urban hairstyle is unavailable with superconductor helmet.
    In fact, it's probably unavailable with any bubble helmet.
    Even more likely any of newer hairstyles are unavailable with bubble helmets.
    And no Cryptic, clipping isn't any excuse. There are longer hairstyles which are available with these helmets.
    Also, free unkempt short hairstyle is available with bubble and superconductor helmets but nearly identical C-store punk urban isn't?

    Hi.

    I posted this before under the "Demonchest Missing" thread in the "Items and Crafting" forum, but figured I would repost it here.

    What what I've seen, most people that have purchased the Demonchest & can't access it with their alts can still access it with the PC that purchased it. I can't even do that... I've tried it with the purchasing toon and several other alts, along with every different permutation of "chest" I can find. It's just not there, even though the Recog Vendor says I've already unlocked the piece.

    I don't mean to sound redundant on this, I just figured I would post it since not even my purchasing PC can get it.
