Let's face it. They'll never fix this baring some miracle. So just be happy we can at least change the faces. My hume boff looks like a darn civvy out on for a stroll instead of a combat officer aboard a warship.
PS Try the winter event jackets, so at least the costume in the portraits are ok. Oh wait.. can't do that.. darn.
Well there is supposed to be some kinda of update to character creation/costumes (sometime in the future)? so who knows, we might get lucky!
(just realized this current thread is technically necro'd, AND it has had over 12000 views.. this is an old problem that lots of people know about, yet it hasn't been fixed x.x)

I've not heard of this work around, how does it work?
Firstly, yes, it's been disabled/fixed and no longer works whilst the Marauding Boffs still can't be edited - nice priorities there Cryptic.
Secondly, it allowed you to mix and match clothing pieces from everything you owned which is why you might see characters running around in Omega Armor with a MACO helmet (and a plethora of other combinations).
This also allowed KDF players to edit the features of their Marauding Boffs by changing their appearance and allowing players to select clothes from the 'Off-Duty' tab (my Marauder Boffs are wearing the C-Store 'Mercenary' outfit for example).
Sadly, even this less-than-perfect solution is no longer available to us.
How disappointing. I was looking forward to my renegade BOFF. It's a bit deflating that I can't buff him up now. I guess until then, my KDF captain will just have to kick his scrawny little man-butt from one side of Omega Leonis to the other until he learns to toughen up (read: Cryptic please fix mods for cross-faction BOFFs).
I haven't EVER had a response to my tickets on this or anything else for that matter. I will believe its fixed when Klingon players get brought up to equal status as the Federation players. So that would be about the Twelfth of Never... or there and abouts.
Does anyone at Cryptic read forums or is that frowned upon. This "bug" has obviously been around for awhile. Maybe they can dome forth and say something about whether they are going to fix this problem or they don't care!!!
Now that is the right question. Lets see if its fixed with all the work given to the Romulan faction in May. Mr. Stahl says there will be some upcoming additions to the hairstyles at that time, okay, and the new Romulan faction will have uniforms I suppose; therefore it would seem that this is the logical time to fix these issues.
However, I also believe that if there is a way to give the Klingons the short end of the stick, this would be a resounding application for it.
But lets be pessimistic and look up to see if they get it done this time around. I'm tired of looking down on this as all we see is the floor.

If you submit a ticket, you won't ever get a response as they don't do that. If you want a response you need to use the submit to a GM option. They're usually bugger all help and take a week to get back to you, but you will get a response.

All are read, few are replied too. You can keep an eye on their responses with the Dev tracker, although for me I can only ever look at the first page as clicking on other pages just reloads page one.

Over one and half year have passed now since that post was made, and the issue STILL hasn't got fixed. What kind of bug does take that long to fix when "top men" are working on it? Sheesh!

The real frustrating thing about it is, that they revamped (or rather broke) the character creation system, which was completely unnecessary in my opinion as it's more confusing and less user friendly than before, tinkered with off duty outfits for KDF player characters and were seemingly to inept to include a fix to the marauding Boff issue.
Not even a notice as to if they're still working on it, if it's on their to do list, or if they're simply uncapable of fixing it.
The issue still comes up quite often in ingame chat, too.

Yeah, given how many alterations/revamps the tailor had in the last few months without fixing the issue it would be really nice to have a dev finally show up in this thread again and adress us on this topic for once instead of trying to sit this issue out in silence <.<
I wonder if, had They used 'Bottom Men' instead..., would it have been fixed by now?

Still not fixed.
*sigh*

I would be happy about that... if I could. But currently not even THAT is an option working -.-
On a more serious note: When can we finally expect someone to adress this issue?

we can hope
KDF/Alien
Human female SciBoff.
Nothing can be changed at all.
If the feds had the same problem, this would of been fixed...
^The above is sad, but true.... I'd love for the Devs to prove otherwise tho...
Of course not.

Let's see what response I get. Will keep you updated as I know you are all waiting with bated breath :P
LOL
Don't feel too bad. The TNG and DS9 combadges still clip after almost two years.
Still, I agree with you. I wish I could customize my boff too.
I may give him a bio to that effect..
