- Rock and Glam Stereo Glider vehicles
Subscription Reward
- Added Cheerful Puppy costume. Your shoulder kitten can now have company!
Queues
- We've made some adjustments to our queue system that should help with queues getting stuck in their rotation.
- These changes should also help with the PvP queues kicking people from matches. The kicking bug still occasionally occurs, but it should do so less frequently.
- Lowered the minimum team requirement for UTC matches to 8 people (from 10).
- Added confirm box for PvP matches.
Misc
- Fixed a bug where the alert UI screen had smushed buttons when on a team.
- Respecs have been issued for players who owned Plasma Beam and the U-238 Rounds advantage prior to November 16th.
- Fixed a bug where the new Nighthawk vehicles had their exhaust FX coming out of the wrong spot.
- Known bug: There's a texture issue with the Werewolf Tail and Wolf Mane Hair costumes where their color mapping was changed. This will be corrected next week.
- Known Bug: The male version of the Steel Wolf bracers can currently only be found under Left or Right and not both. This will be corrected next week.

Love that techie jargon.
Really nice helmet there.
While I'm not doubting the amount of work and skill that the artist and the devs put into making this costume set, it would be nice to have a more modern superhero comic-book slant on future sets and pieces.
Maybe we could look to the example of the Viper snake styled helmet or the Steelhawk and Nighthawk sets for future inspiration on animal themed sets, rather than fantasy armour.

or maybe a sorcerer imbued with a wolf spirit or something like that
This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day
"Halp, get it off me!!"
Courage is doing what is right even when it isn't popular or safe. Honor is retaining the dignity and virtue in one's self, so it can light the way for others in the darkest of times. Compassion is showing patience and mercy towards others, even when it isn't returned or deserved. A hero is defined by these 3 words, they set him apart from others as a beacon of hope and excellence.
Just saying what I would like to see in the future.

At least THIS set has a Chestpiece which worth a damn compared the nonexistent Sacred Set and the underwelming Shining Crusader set
As someone who loves fantasy Armours, I really like this set, I will get it during a discount (no Zen left)
Shining Crusader set really
ehem now, to get spamed with collectors boxes again yay

Block timing explained
I KNOW RIGHT!? I think i found the missing link for my armour characters
BTW, any chance you'll ever fix the Victorian dress that was broken a few weeks after it was added to the store?
Here are some color references of the new set:
With that out of the way, onto the bugs!
Minor Bug: The set has some inconsistent materials when applied randomly through the piece search or general application menu, such as the left and right leg pieces being metal and cloth, with the usual "???" for when both pieces are selected. Minor issue, not really worth investing a lot of time into, as it would only raise the ease of use a tiny bit.
Unintended/Bug(?): Below is a reference of glows within the set, the orange patterns capable of glowing. The tail (not shown) has no options for glow. There is an inconsistency in the glow channels, the most simple example being the good glow option on the chestpiece (slot #2), and the impractical glow on the attachment/emblem (slot #3). It might be hard to tell, due to the quality, but on the attachment you can only make the trim on the piece glow, and neither of the actual engravings. Below the image is a sheet of how I'm pretty sure it makes the most sense for the set to glow.
How this sheet works, is that the four slots under "currently" and "recommend(ed)" represent color slots for each costume piece from the new set. "Currently" shows how the costume set is as of right now, and "recommend(ed)" states how the glows most likely would be more logical, or appealing.
| X = no glow | O = glow | O = maybe
Set piece - --..| --CURRENTLY--- | --RECOMMEND--|
- - - - - - --- |-1- --2 - -3- - 4- |-1 - - 2 - -3- - 4-|

I hope reading the sheet went okay (I wasn't sure how to create it, to be honest). The yellow circles are effectively potential glow channels that don't make sense when using that set exclusively, but may give individual pieces more usage with other sets and pieces, hence why they're tagged differently.
The green circles I strongly recommend adhering, as they make sense of the carvings, which are indicative of some power, and as such glow fits.
One last thing!
Suggestion: When bracer attachments are created, namely claws, I think it might be a good idea to just give the attachment whichever color channels it can make use of. The example here, is that those three claws could easily have one color channel each, or a gradient of some sort! Maybe even the option to glow!
Just a minor thing that would add a little to the set, I'm sure some people out there would like that. Claws below:
And that's it, that's all I found for now, I hope somebody finds the post useful, and that the devs may consider these reports noteworthy, as I think it would make an already stellar set (in my opinion) just a bit better!
Later!
[Daily Login Rewards] - They sure would spice things up a bit!
[Monthly Rewards and Silver Players] - Surely there should be some way to get them, no matter how difficult!
[Discussion Concerning Event Powers] - Feel like you're missing out on Holy Water? Uh, probably shouldn't.
[Discussion Concerning Energy Stats] - More or less what it says on the tin, there.
[Analysis of Sorcery Copy-Powers] - I showcase some visual chopjobs, and such.
[Analysis of a Poison Spread Bug] - The different interactions Virulent Propagation and Bite has with all poisons.
neck and back of head exposed
2 big metal neck guards which are going to be good for slicing along to hit the neck
metal bracers held on by 2 straps in the center, so unstable
a couple of thin straps at the front, holding the hip armour on, cut through that and you may not kill the person but you will remove the armour.
a big handle at the back to grab the hero by and throw them off balance, which is also likely to get shut in doors
the disads of doing LARP's, you tend to look at armour for practicality.
shoulder puppy... ooh cute
looked at puppy.....errr, is it a reindeer puppy, is the back end hanging over it, err.... why is it staring at me like that.
"here demon, come here, your puppy has escaped."

*remembers just put $20 into some Zen and has some left*
*logs on and buys because OMGAWESOMESAUCE*
And thank you for the analysis, meeoeoowie! Nicely put together, and hopefully helpful for bug-fixing and perfecting of the new set. Looking forward to seeing people's interpretations, color picks and how they mix them with other sets.
As for those that complain about the exposed crotch and stomach: CHAINMAIL!
Now that you mention it... I just noticed 3 of my characters' eyebrows got... funky (and one got BURNED)
Bug: Werewolf Eyebrows mapping is also bugged
Because i really could use some nice patterned tights with masks, boots and gloves. And capes ofcourse that have some cool brooches on them.
And playing by myself since Aug 2009
Godtier: Lifetime Subscriber
Bug: After recovering/rezzed, Enrage toggle form doesn't activate even on full charge.

Though I am only able to speak on behalf myself, as someone who makes a broad enough assortment of stuff to want anything and everything, my need for non-historical fantasy armors has more or less been sated, with enough built up variety existing in the costume pool for me to have resources for many costumes to come within the style!
I agree, as much as I have liked the costume sets, some good ol' tights are much desired.
Speaking of which...
There is a thread for suggesting costumes, and while requesting a fully fledged costume set by design and reference is unlikely, it is on the off-hand not uncalled for that a dev draws some inspiration from some images, ideas, sketches, and what have you, should you invest some time to post there. No promises, those devs work in mysterious ways
