Costume Slots

jenicazarina

So the game somehow knows when I've reached the limit of bridge officer slots, duty officer roster slots, and ship slots, etc. but it doesn't seem to know when I've reached the limit of costume slots...?

Why is that?

Can we fix this please? PLEASE???

This has been going on for soooooo long now...

Not entirely sure that I'm understanding the complaint here. Are you referring to purchasing slots from the C-Store? Or are you referring to using your purchased slots in the Tailor? Trying to understand what limit that you're referring to.

I am also curious what the issue is.

Sounds to me that OP purchased more slots from the Z-Store but they didn't show up in the tailor.
Is there a maximum number of costume slots available to us? Surely there has to be...

Well, the OP didn't exactly convey that information in their report, which is why we're questioning what they're referring to. We're having to make guesses at their intent here. "The game somehow knows" would seem to indicate the C-Store restriction on maxing out slot purchases for the mentioned Services. All information that I've been able to find seems to indicate no such limit on Costume Slots. As you say, though, surely there is an upper limit. But I have heard of players with 200+ costume slots. Surely this player hasn't exceeded that number.

Yes, there IS a maximum amount of costume slots, however, the game does NOT recognize this, and continues to allow you to buy more costume slots.

What happens is that the game simply OVERWRITES over your slots from the beginning of your costumes, which actually is causing us to LOSE both costumes and slots. (and $$)

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear before, but I have reported this on many occasions, and nothing ever comes from it. This is the most attention that this has ever received, so I am finally hopeful that maybe something will finally be done about it. Thanks for listening!

baddmoonrizin

@jenicazarina So, in your experience, what are you saying is the maximum number of Costume Slots? @chrian Can you shed some light on this issue? What exactly is the maximum number of Costume Slots?

jenicazarina

Depending upon how you count, 259 total (2 to start, plus one for joining a fleet, plus 256 more that can be bought or use tokens for after that)

259! Wow! You won Space Barbie Online for sure. I am sorry you lost money on slots you can’t use though. I hope they can resolve it for you.

jenicazarina

Thanks! Yeah, I hope so too... *fingers crossed!*

Well, this is good information to have, because even the wiki doesn't have that noted. I'm sure that @chrian can confirm whether this is the intent. Perhaps the C-Store can be updated to prevent players from over-purchasing Costume Slots, as they do with other Service slots. As for your loss of Zen, have you reached out to Customer Support for a refund? I would highly suggest that to at least get your Zen back for the unusable slots. If you have trouble with that, let me know.

@jenicazarina Just to be sure you are talking about 259 SAVED costumes right? And not just available unused costume slots right?

@chrian Yes, that is correct. I've been playing this game since Beta on an almost daily basis, so I have had a lot of time to create and save many costumes.

jenicazarina

Thank you @baddmoonrizin for making the effort to understand this problem, and for helping getting it's visibility elevated! This is the most hopeful I have felt about getting this problem resolved in years!

baddmoonrizin

@jenicazarina Of course! No problem. Space Barbie is the true endgame. 😉 I'm a costume aficionado, too, so I'm hoping we can get this situation resolved as well. ☺️
