    Of course it will look "somewhat similar" these concepts were obviously styled on archers in fantasy games.

    My overall point is we won't get this costume pack regardless of how much we throw money at our screens. Meanwhile the new shiny game will get some, if not most, of it by default because it's a fantasy setting now complete with archers and hey look guys we've already got some in-house art to work with.

    Oh really?
    I'm more referring to the actual Ranger gear looking somewhat similar to some of this concept art.

    Oh really?

    Wizard set - kinda sorta delivered; no emanation points to go with it and no cat familiar
    Cyberpunk - mostly delivered, lacking the augmented skin
    Ultimate Ninja - Still waiting
    Archer - Still waiting

    The Cyberpunk set is the only one that wasn't released months and months after it was announced. The Wizard set shipped way after it's announcement because of technical issues with the emanation points. What's the excuse on the other two? What's holding those back? Why is anyone so sure Cryptic will deliver at this point? inb4 Cryptic North

    I've been by far one of the more "let's wait and see" types around here but the one time I pose a point that is remotely "gloomy" the CDF is johnny on the spot to call me out on it. Classy. I really don't care what bores you, I'm not here to present only ideas you'll agree with.

    Dang, I completely forgot about the Monster hunter set. Dangit, so many things id actually pay for. Just discarded, lost, and forgotten.

    And don't even get me started on that female archer set. Ive got at least half a dozen characters who could use various parts from it. *grumbles* Take my money already you've already sold me on it. Just make it already.

    I know it's not exactly related to the game, but it -is- wasted potential?

    Totally miscast for the new Superman movie. Should've put a big name as the big red S. Like so:



    I give you...Da REAL Man O Steel!!

    You and me both.

    Cryptic is racist against cyborgs. I mean, it's because they think we'll take their normal human women.

    Because once you go cybernetic, other dudes are just pathetic.

    And the most depressing thing with lack of augmented skin... It would take only only new maps for already existing body and head models. >_>

    Because we're getting a Monster Hunter Lockbox around Hallowen and a Locksley Lockbox whenever green-clad archers with British accents go back into style.

    Okay, maybe only one of these two is a possibility, but it surely is a distinct one.

    This game has probably the most potential out of all Cryptic's current lineup. Its so sad they just let it go to waste.

    Concept art =/= in-game models

    Just because it was drawn doesn't mean that the costume parts exist.

    Hopefully, especially since we supposedly have a new studio working on CO in the form of Cryptic North. The newer looking comic shader alone seems like it would be interesting to see in game.

    Since this Thread was Bumped!

    Well so far from the Hidden in Code costumes we got the CyberMind's Costume Set from His Alert and the Sci Fi Boot Cyberlord from the Cyberlord Mission.

    4 Hidden costumes became available... Progress? :confused:

    Still those PvE Survival maps posted on the first page look awesome...

    My first time looking through this thread and I gotta say, it was pretty damn depressing! WTF Cryptic, why you guys hording so many epic costume pieces? Just release this stuff already!! I've got new character ideas ready to spring to life just from looking over some of this stuff.

    That goes for all the locked out Emotes too! Shouldn't we be getting our next Emote Pack soon?​​

    We don't have enough negative threads about things that have absolutely no purpose but to chase away new players.

    Please.. by all means, keep up the good work.

    Let's face it, the longer we play, its far easier to come up with more negative than positive feedback.

    Sometimes I regret having bothered to install CO in the first place. And while this was stated months ago, it's not like you can't claim you haven't been troubled by CO decisions.

    But in all seriousness, some of these would be well served in some sort of costume pack. I know the last pack was cobbled together as opposed to anything new, it seems like one could do something like that for this stuff as well.

    You know those weapons you can see in some of the hideout weapon display rack options that you can't use? Those were rigged up for use on characters. Including the Alien Organic Heavy Sword.

    There are a ton of weapon skins like these hidden in the files all rigged up and ready to be hooked up as unlocks, but aren't, which I found back during the days of the PTS tailor glitch. I'm hoping that they're still accessible to any of the dataminers out there, as I'd love for the devs' attention to be brought back to them.

    This. I've been wanting this piece to be made available for so long. It's distinct, but not unique; Valerian Scarlet, Demoiselle Nocturne, and The Queen Beyond the Pale all have it. The latter two also have a nice piece for their feet.

    The Apocalypse Aversion version of Valerian Scarlet has a pretty nice arm wrap thing, too.​​
