On a more serious note, just curious, what are you seeing? I'm only seeing one of my "girls" (Kestrel) affected...weird bulges and clipping around the collar bone front and back.

If you want to see what we're talking about, go into the editor on that toon and choose a skin and tights costume piece that's bare on the stomach. Then, with that piece still selected, switch over to jackets, as it seems like that category wasn't affected.
Why did you start a brand new thread when you were already talking in a previous thread about the situation? Why would you start a thread titled with your threatening to leave the game when the other one about a specific issue is the better one to support?
You literally made CO repulsive to me with this screw up Cryptic.
My characters all look awful and wrong, and I have lost all desire to play.
Fix the problem. Emergency patch, Roll back, whatever you have to do, but do NOT delay it.
You've already damaged your already bad reputation. Save a LITTLE face please?
Being just a bit melodramatic here. I mean, if your reaction to a little visual bug is this extreme... maybe it's time to do something else for a while.
Why are there so many people on this forum so concerned with telling others what to post?
There's being concerned with what others post. Then there's concern of others flooding the forums with threads about topics that already exist and are active.
Its not possible for you to not make that observation.
So they attempted to fix the costumes, made a patch and less than 24 after the patch you decide to leave CO?
Give them time..
If you leave just leave, I've left a lot of times and always come back eventually., by now i dont even mention anything upon my departure.. i just do it.
Play some other game in the mean time, it's probably worth more time there than CO right now.

Or are we meant to believe that the devs don't fix things until certain players threaten to leave?

And it's not just happening on tights with skin. It's happening on many if not most skintight options.
Basically - any detail that should be raised ABOVE the level of the skin in order to help define a piece is now sunk INTO the skin as an indentation.
This image is a good close detail of the problem - look where the arrow is pointed. That indented section should be a raised section instead. (Oddly the part around the breasts is unaffected and still looks raised)
Most of my female toons have alt costumes that I can switch to in order to avoid the worst of this. But it is pretty annoying.
I do think the OP is overreacting just a bit. But I suppose it depends on just how invested you are in a particular character's look.
Here's a more subtle example of the problem. I almost didn't see this, but upon closer examination... yeah, it's there.
Here's an image I took a few days ago before the patch.
And just now - going back to the exact same location and angle, here's the same character exhibiting the glitch.
If you're not sure - bring up the two images in your viewer program and "flip" them back and forth and it will become obvious where the problem is.
Really would appreciate a prompt response on this issue Cryptic. It's not as much of a game-breaker for me as it obviously is for the OP, but it's definitely a real problem.
Breaking news: Gradii has the clap and feels sorry for himself because of it.

Dude. You might want to rethink your choice of pictures there. It, ah, can be interpreted in an unfortunate way. (At least, I sincerely hope that the unfortunate interpretation wasn't what you intended.)

I think thats been problem on those 'bumpmapped' tights since they were released. Same with the masks.

I see what you are getting at jon, but my choice of image wasn't intended in any more than an innocent, jokey way. I'll take the image out anyway. Just in case.
Every thread, literally every thread on the forums recently has turned into some really salty arguments, i get sick and tired of it and frankly it makes me not want to post on the forums at all to those being overly critical and some just plain aggressive.
No offence to those doing right..
It's up to Gradii what he wants to do, if he wants to leave he may do so, bashing on him isnt going to improve the situation as is. I'd say the thread is a tad bit unecessary but again.. his choice.
Leave if you will but if you do come back there is always a seat reserved for you. Take a break for a while, hopefully they come in with a patch for a major fix.
Go play another game for a bit if this seems to be ruining your experience.. its okay to take a break.

The issue doesn't faze me, because my female toons don't use bumpmapped tights (Electrocutie has the Lightning design on full-body tights, and Patchwork is mostly armor), but I can see where it'd be an issue for someone who's carefully constructed a particular look, only to see it ruined as above.

Point out the problems with pictures, I see nothing.
People already have in a number of threads now, from a single picture with the problem circled or pointed out to multiple pictures showing multiple examples of the screw up along with examples of the same tights before the bug.
If you can't see the difference in game then turn up your graphics, if you can't see the difference here in the forums from the screen shots then make an appointment with an eye doctor.

Actually I don't think so. This is the first time I've seen this problem. And the other set of pictures I posted should prove that it just occurred in the last few days as well. I did a comparison there with a screenshot I just took days ago where the problem with the bump-mapping had not yet occurred compared with a nearly identical shot taken just today where the problem exists.

My super cool CC build and how to use it.
hmm, thats an interesting effect especially the back.
wondering if when they fix the old one, we could keep that as a bonus one.

BTW, it's hardly just you and way more than "this particular time".
The OP does believe they are that important. As if Champions can sink or swim more with or without them. :rolleyes:
