Costume Slot request

I'm wondering if we can have the c-store costume purchases include the option for off-duty wear aswell as the current uniforms.
Failing that, can we get some off duty costume slot purchases added to the c-store?

Actually, when the additional costume slots became available for full account purchases, you could do either off-duty or uniforms in them by a selection in the uniform screen (no mixing and matching though). They quickly "fixed" this however... I'd like to see this changed back, give me a reason to purchase the up-comming casualwear please... thanks!
I agree as well.
I support this. And obviously, it's still somewhat bugged. I just hopped on an alt and created a new costume -- all I did was select one of my C-Store costume slots and then hit "Purchase," without making any modifications -- and now it seems I can freely change that costume between uniform and off-duty.
It should be this way for all C-Store purchased slots.
Unfortunately, I must not have triggered the bug on my main since none of her new costume slots can be switched.
But being able to freely switch the slot between uniform and off-duty is the way it should be. Please make it so and retroactively fix all characters/slots affected (or rather, not affected) by the "bug."
Barring that, if Cryptic really must sell off-duty slots on the C-Store, they should at least be slightly cheaper and sold as singles. :rolleyes:
Either way we need to be able to select between them whenever we want.
- You can choose whether a slot acts as a regular slot or an off-duty one, with only the appropriate options for each. Obviously, it'd be better to have an option to 'convert' slots back-and-forth - perhaps a tab for it? So, in the same way as choosing between 'Lower - Long' or 'Lower - Knee-High', you could choose between 'Uniform' and 'Off-Duty'.
- Have all options in the one slot, so you could choose to mix-and-match regular and off-duty parts. I'm sure this would be a popular choice, because it'd increase the possibilities for players, but I personally think that'd be a bad idea - keep 'uniform' parts for uniforms, and 'off-duty' for non-uniform clothing*.
*that said - one concession I can think of would be combadges. I'd be nice to do the time-honoured Star Trek thing of people putting their badge on over their civvies.
The uniform tops are clearly from uniforms and wouldn't look right if they were mixed in with anything else. Now the bottoms on uniforms are generic looking enough that it's not obvious that they are meant to be part of a uniform.
So I propose that if you use a uniform top you have to have uniform bottoms to go with it, but you can use the lower uniform parts with your off-duty wear. That should give a quick and easy way to get more off-duty variety without having to create a bunch of new models and textures.
I guess I can understand there are design reasons as to why some costume parts can't fit with other costume parts, or why we can't mix'n'match between OD/Uniform clothing, but I don't understand why the *slots* themselves are thusly limited to Either/Or.
Please fix this.
Too much enthusiasm and no sensibility. It does not take to much time to ask the forum a quick question. We are thinking of opening up extra Costume Slots in the C-store, what type would you like to see? Duh :eek:
LOL
Sooo many uniform slots and only one off-duty slot. Just a little inconvenient.
