Costume questions

1) Did one of the male Jackets options get replaced in a recent issue? The reason I ask is, I went to the tailor last night to save a costume on a toon in anticipation of re-rolling the toon with a new powerset, and it reset his upper body from the open military style jacket to tights. It looks like the open military style jacket is still available, but that now it has an inherent camoflauge pattern. Would that have triggered the reset? I don't mind because I have more free tailor tokens than I can shake a stick at, but I was curious what happened there.

2) If I save a costume for a toon with a certain weapon type - say an Assault Rifle - and I want to use that same costume on a new toon with a different weapon type - say Dual Blades - is it going to give me problems when I try to call up that costume for the second toon? Obviously I'm not expecting the scrapper to get an Assault Rifle, I just don't want to get an "Invalid Costume" error or something.

That's a bug. Happens to me all the time. I think it *might* only happen to characters which are older, but I haven't paid close enough attention to say for sure.

Yes, you will get an invalid costume error. That also happens to me all the time, as I try to duplicate one look for a different powerset. It just means you have to do it the old fashioned way of doing a screen cap and referring back to it when making the new toon.

I tried to load a costume that had insect wings onto a toon that didnt have the costume part availiable and it pretty much said something along the lines of "can't find costume part"

That's about all it will do, if the costume is on the same gender. If the 'genders' are different (Even Male -> Huge), it won't load the costume.
