QoL - Show more costume info in costume window

"What costume pieces has this guy unlocked?" Have any of you ever wondered that? I know I sure have. My suggestion is to add some drop-down tabs to bottom of the current costume window (accessed via the main menu -- the one that shows your current costumes). These would show which unlockable costume pieces exist, and which ones you have available.

I envision 4 tabs:<ul type="square">[*]Recipes - Lists all costume pieces that are available via recipes. This would include various wings, boots, etc.[*] Veteran - Lists all costume sets that are available due to veteran status. This would include angel/demon wings, boxer pieces, etc.[*] Quest - Lists all costume pieces and sets that are available due to completing certain task. This would include witches hat, roman pieces, etc.[*] Option Packs - Lists all costume sets and pieces that are availble due to either an option pack or special game box. This would include Arachnos capes, wedding pieces, valkyrie pieces, etc.[/list]In each case, the first line of each list element would be colored or boldened to indicate whether the character has the item available or not.

I'm envisioning list elements looking something like:
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>= - = from Veteran tab (no particular order)= - =
* Angel and Demon Wings
For achieving 15-month veteran status, all characters on your account
can access the Angelic and Demon wings.
* Boxing Pieces
You have not yet achieved the 39-month veteran status necessary to
unlock the pieces for a boxer's outfit.
= - = from Quest tab (no particular order)= - =
* Witch's Hat
Your character has earned the Ten Times the Victor badge during a
Katie Holmes task force, unlocking the witch's hat.
* Roman Costume Pieces
Your character has not earned the Temporal Strife Badge by completing
the Imperious Task Force. The Roman Costume pieces are not yet available.
* Capes
The City Representative authorized your character's use of capes after
you learned a bit about Hero One.
* Auras
Beginning at level 30, see the City Representative to obtain the tasks
necessary to open Auras for your character.

The exact implementation doesn't really matter. I'm sure pohsyb and friends can come up with something pretty-darn nice.

I gotta admit this never crossed my mind, but as long as it isn't too hard to code I can't think of a reason why this shouldn't be done.

It occurs to me there should be a fifth drop-down tab, for weapons. I think this list could be consolidated, whether the weapons were enabled via quest or option pack. It probably doesn't need to list the temporary weapons from recipes, though, or vet weapons. These aren't custumozible anyway, and they are already listed in the Powers tab.

... I really, really want this. This would be a million fillion times awesome. It would make me happy.

I certainly like this. Good show!

I would eliminate this part:

"In each case, the first line of each list element would be colored or in bold to indicate whether the character has the item available or not."

Only show costume pieces earned or unlocked. The logical alternate place to display these would be in the Info window.

Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters

I totally support!

It would be nice to know what you have unlocked specifically. let me explain, say we purchased the magic pack. Would be nice to know what pieces were specifically acquired and what grouping they are (skirts, tights, pants, etc)

I'm all for this idea : D
Would be nice to see what I'm getting and where it's going.

Snow Globe, why not show all possible non-standard pieces, then delineating which ones are actually available now? Think of a fairly new player who goes to the costume shop. He's seen someone with the boxer's outfit, and wants that for himself. He wastes 5 to 10 minutes looking for the pieces, and finally gives up in frustration. He still doesn't realize the pieces are a veteran reward, and he has 8 months left to wait.
