STO: Club Wear makes costume slots unusable

capnspanky

About a week ago I unlocked Club Wear. A few days later, I made a Club Wear costume on another character, but found that pressing the "Wear" button in the tailor did nothing, as did attempting to change to it in the ground UI option (right-clicking on your self-portrait). At first I thought it was the costume slot I'd used, as it was a very old character and a slot that had gone long-unclaimed. A brief but thorough series of investigations followed in which I determined that Club Wear was indeed the culprit. I recorded these steps in the video linked below.

The reproduction steps are simple: make enough latinum to claim Club Wear from the GPL store, then make a Club Wear costume. Only the chest piece is necessary. That costume will now be impossible to wear. Switch out of Club Wear into anything else, and the costume slot is functional again.

"Club Wear" can indeed be worn, but you need to be in a Club to actually wear it.

That would be neat to mention anywhere, like in the costume's tooltip or full description in the GPL store. And don't say "it's called Club Wear", I didn't realize Admiral Quinn's office or the spooky catacombs of Drozana counted as 24/7 ripping party zones. Even a GM I was in an extended correspondence with and who suggested to make this post didn't think to mention the zone restriction at first.

I'm not sure they do, but Club 47 @ ESD and the various dance floor's across the galaxy should allow you to wear the outfits.

Customer Support, like most games, are pretty good at sorting out the stuff to do with your account, but they rarely consist of folks who actively play, and thus know, the game.
If anyone's having issues with the game content, then coming here to the forum and asking fellow players will almost always yield a solution.

After more testing, they do indeed.



So does the Jonas Jam Zone.

The restrictions were mentioned when they were first added about a decade ago, that they were restricted where they could be worn, a lot like the beachwear was later, Risa is one of the few places you can use Club Wear. it was a promo to celebrate the new ESD and Club47 iirc. Can no buy them for Latinum from the GPL Conversion consoles and I think that it is there that it now says the restrictions on usage.
