Normal player characters were able to do things like change their current model (in-game avatar), access ALL of the costume pieces in the Tailor and move to a user name. That means players who were on Villain side (Rogue Isles) could 'move to' another character no matter where they were. There were cases of people in Steel Canyon's Icon suddenly being visited by level 50 Villain players who would STOMP! YERDEADLOLZ!. I believe there was a patch (hotfix) within an hour.
• The second one was back when the Lady Grey Task Force was being tested, it appeared there was a condition that when completed the LGTF, some characters (I don't think it was account-wide) had some sort of authbit flipped which gave them access to the ripped Union Jack cape that The Honoree has. Too bad that wasn't ever implemented. That would be a cool reward. Last time I checked, I still had that cape on one of my toons on PTR/Training Room.

*sighs* Good times.

Epic fail, Paragon.

You should have at least given some sort of heads up that Double XP Boosters would be on the market this week.

That way people could have possibly financially planned ahead of time. It's not in my budget this next week to buy it, so huge fail Paragon Studios. Next time maybe try to advertise when something like that will be hitting the market - you always advertise double XP weekends.

Whatever.

The most-used explanation why we can't (or don't) have Sibyl costume pieces has been the fear of multiple cape rigs interfering with game performance and/or server stability. In the distant past, this was a valid concern; I remember when Hami raids pretty much required characters to have a raid outfit without capes or auras, due to the crushing lag. But now processing power is leagues ahead, both on servers and home computers, and it might just be time.

On this approach, I couldn't help but notice the proliferation of waistcapes throughout i22 Dark Astoria. We've got mobs of enemies sporting them, across multiple factions of baddies. Now, I personally wonder if the sudden spike in these waistcapes is really just a sneaky way of testing how the game will handle multiple cape rigs in larger numbers than the handful of Sibyls and Widows we've seen them on so far.

Confirmation Or Subtle Vague Hints That This Feature Is Coming: Appreciated.











Kheldian sashes fall under this logic too.

Since were in open beta in less than 30 minutes, will there be any surprises that might infuriate me?
