Could we get skeleton costume parts this year, please?
We have the Hands and two kinds of Skulls! It would be nice to de-flesh out the rest of the body. Heck skeleton wings and animal bone parts would be cool too.

    Skeleton wings would be great for a variety of character concepts.
    They would be great for some villains, too.

    I don't know about skeletons... According to the UNTIL report we're jumping back in time over a century to Victorian London to fight Vladic Drakul. I'd be expecting fancy suits and vampire stuff.

    Ribcages would be kind of cool, but I'd expect some very odd costumes from that.

    id like the full skeleton piece set as well, one of my characters is a skeletal ghost cowboy =p

    maybe more partial skeletal/zombie pieces as well.

    Good for a future undead themed event, or added to bloodmoon for future

    Oh nuts, we already have vampire costumes, and a second set of vampire costumes.

    Yeah, I'm really over vampires, too. Same with werewolves.
    I would like to see more of the other kinds of undead.

    Many folks would love more ghostly costume parts, especially a "no legs", trailing ghost bottom.

    Maybe we'll get a sparkle aura like Edmund Culley has as a device for vampire toons. You know for some variety beyond the more bestial themed vampire parts, make it easier to make one with some class an...- gahahaha no I can't finish that with a straight face, even though I'm, you know, typing, so the state of my face has nothing to do with this post in the least...

    That said, now that you mention it it kinda does surprise me they've never made skeleton costume parts, that would be pretty cool.

    I'm not over werewolves. Want to know why?
    Because there's no fur option for the torso like there is for legs on female characters (didn't check male).

    Similarly, I'd love some more pawlike hands.
    I would like to see more of the other kinds of undead.

    That would also be cool.

    Bloodmoon used to happen every month, but of late Cryptic seems to be doing the wise thing and doing it 3 or 4 times a year so not to bore people with it.

    Its pretty much a giver that we will see Bloodmoon again on Oct 31 :p

    I have no idea who those "many" people are that you are talking about. I'm not over vampires/werewolves at all. And even if you are, vamp/werewolf costumes will sell a lot more than skeleton/ghost ones that's why they keep making them. Oh and there won't be a "no legs" costume piece since it would be too difficult to make that piece work will all the powers that interact with legs.

    Don't generalize, YOU =/= many.

    *OH and they better put in the fur bestial legs which they "omitted" fom the werewolf set.

    Yeah have to agree with this the undead players are all vamps or wolves (I blame Underworld for that :/ ).

    As far as I know Nepht is the only mummy in CO :(

    Since we're getting vampires at halloween this year,perhaps mummies next year,It'd be really cool to see an Egypt or Ancient Egypt map,maybe even a pyramid,but if at all we have massive in zone events like an enemy invasion or zombies,I have but one suggestion,do not limit the enemies to only certain spots,like for BM,let the zombies roam all over except for ren cen,let it be the "safe zone" for any thing like that,but I'm all for mummies next Halloween in CO! :biggrin:

    Yes, I'll /sign that. My character Wellington Skellington relies on trench coats and zombie legs to give the illusion of a skeleton, but the arms just aren't very convincing.

    Have to hook you up with Mack the Knife, he's a mummy. He's also blue, so that makes him quite rare. Like steak I guess.

    I would also love to see a full skeleton available but this is something that has been requested almost from the day of launch and all we have gotten is a string of excuses.

    I'm one of those many folks.

    How about some rage virus zombies like in 28days? All of the hoi palloi turn hostile and only the named NPCs are safe... so far. They only downsides I can see are that it might be hard to visit a vendor.

    Mummy costume pieces = bandaged and battle damaged heroes. Sold. Throw in a mummy sword/sickle, and I'm in there like swimwear.

    Just, honestly- after this Halloween thing, maybe time to slow down on the ghouls and ghosts and work on technology, mutant, and metahuman/superhuman themes again. Maybe time to work on something to give a nod to Judge Dredd... (munitions overhaul?)

    I Really hope they take the time to make whatever event they make good, And i Hope its an Actual Event, and not a Alert, Also, I wonder if we will get new costume pieces, If they do the event planned in the UNTIL Field Report they probably are gonna make Victorian or Vampire pieces, I hope they make pieces that fill Currently Unavailable or hard to make Concepts, or make them easier to reproduce, like Ghost tails, Mummies, Between others.

    *Puts on nerd hard*

    A lot of source books do refer to Tako as both but saying that the ones ive read have been translations.

    But to be honest a lich is just a mummy with badass magical skills rather than the power of slowly shambling down corridors.
