Valentines Event

[u]MALES:[u]
[u]Head:[u] Didn't find any new options. Screenshots on the purchase page seem to be regular tophat.
[u]Upper Body:[u]
Jackets: Deluxe Tux and Butler Tux in Jackets and Sleeves. Bow Tie in Shoulders. (No cumberbund in belts? ). The tails on the tuxes are buttcapes, split like the buttcape used by Night Widows (see: Female Character with Arachnos Disguise).
[u]Lower Body:[u] Nothing apparent. Screenshots seem to show regular pants or slacks.

[u]FEMALES:[u]
[u]Head:[u] Bridal Veil in Hair. The veil is a headcape. Complaint: Primary color is hair color and color of the exterior of the veil, Secondary color is color of connection to head. Interior is white. Can we have an interior/exterior selection like real capes, or separate hair color from veil color?
[u]Upper Body:[u] Females have access to Deluxe and Butler Tux. Combining a tux and the bridal veil gives the player both a headcape and a buttcape!
Tops With Skin has Heart Plus, Excess Plus, Angelic Plus, Bridal, and Bridal & Lace
Gloves have Bridal (second option in Gloves)
[u]Lower Body:[u] Bottoms with Skin has Hearts Plus, Angelic Plus, and Bridal & Lace
Boots have Bridal Heel (with Bridal Heel and Bridal & Lace options)
Skirts has Flared Bridal, Long Bridal, Pencil Bridal, and Mini Bridal

I believe I found all of them...

I will admit, I love the Axle Rose tux (November Rain anyone? )

Regardless, my wife has a secret* V-Day gift from yours truly.

But listen up LH et al - next time, try to give us more. Use GvE as your measure. Costumes and emotes are cool, but hardly enough by themselves. Unless it's a crapload of costumes and/ or emotes

*(Well, not really, since she got an email confirmation thanks to me forgetting to temp change the address on her account )

I agree. There are people who are willing to pay extra for packs.


I would be, provided it was worth the money. GvE was very much worth it. With this I feel like I'd be paying for two emotes I'd jokingly use.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's pretty much where I am with it. I debated about buying it, but then I saw how male characters get next to nothing costume-wise. It made the decision a lot easier for me considering I have yet to have a female character I get attached to. GvE was a lot better because stuff was pretty much universally useful. This was too niche, and probably shouldn't have been priced equally to the GvE set.

But, maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing. If males aren't as inclined to buy this, then it won't sell as well, which might give NCNC the indication that either this was a bad idea or that they'll have to try harder next time.

There is a veil, but as it is bugged atm and shows up as nothing more then a black blanket tied to my character's head, I didn't include it.

[/ QUOTE ]What are your graphics set to? I can see it fine on my character (see my screenshots)

The veil is a Hair option, with a single hair type (just like the hats we have), a connector, and a headcape. The exterior of the headcape and the hair follow the primary color, the interior is white, and the connector is the secondary color.

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I honestly wouldn't mind these packs if they went towards the latter. This is light for $10 compared to GvE. Especially for the fellas.

SWEET! There's an added bonus to the VD pack: you get a free bug!

That's exactly why I stopped sleeping with women who hang out on street corners.

Admittedly, I bought it for myself after I bought my wife's I cannot tell a lie (very well, anyhow).

Also, just a thought...

At 10 bucks, what if the Valentines Day Costume Pack also included a free costume change for each of your characters?

Please keep in mind that the veil on live is currently not displaying alpha properly as most of the lace should be see through, like what Sister Psyche is wearing in the main Valentine's Day Announcement.

You know the really sad thing?


If one of the options was an undone bow tie hanging from your neck, that might have been enough for me to get this

One comment, Bow Tie (Shoulders) for males and Huge already exists. If it's now available for Female characters, that would be a new addition.

And a question to go with it: My first thought on seeing these was that the jackets would be in Trench Coats, to lock out capes, but apparently, they're plain Jackets, AND there's the Wedding Veil. Is it possible for Female characters to have the Veil, Wedding jacket, AND a Cape?

The veil locks out capes. However, you can have a cape or wings with the jacket... on females. But on males it locks out the back options again.

and, a nervous face option.

Are you seriously complaining that you randomly have to pay $10 for something when you don't have to pay for expansions EVER?

[/ QUOTE ]
That's no longer true. This is a paid expansion. A very small one, but it's still extra content for an extra price.

That would add some icing to this for sure. Almost as good as GvE. Throw in a few more male costume options, and it would be on-par IMHO.

Going to have to test this out. Would be sorely disappointed if my Gargoyle can't sue the Axle Rose tux

Bugger. I really wanted to have that tux and the CoV cape on the character I was planning to buy this for.

Bugged, but the color on the outside of the veil is tied to the hair color.... as seen here.

I posted it in the Costume Bug thread.
