Shield choice not showing

read through to page 7 of this forum but suprised to see no mention of this:

when I create a character (tank or scrapper) and select the shield powerest all is good. I choose powers, I spend possibly longer than I should in teh costume designer and then I change names until I get one that I want and is available

then I start to play and the shield is wrong... instead of my sturdy flaming shield shaped shield I have what looks to be a flattened bottle top made out of wood.... its happened 5 times out of 6 now

have I missed a bug report / post on this ? I've /bug'ed it twice in game (when I13 first got released) but havent heard anything back..

any ideas ?

Odd, never had this happen on any of my shield chars and their costumes. The only thing i've noticed is the light reflection on the shields is a bit off as it's usually much darker than in tailor.

Are you using the save/load feature? cause that one is pretty much bugged beyond useage, and could very well cause this issue i could imagine.

ah, i have started saving the characters costume before continuing (but not loading it up again, just saving as a backup). I'll try it again without the save and see if it makes a difference.

Oh, yes, this is the single most annoying bug yet, I created a flame shield, but it came out as a red round shield...very annoying...and no I ain't using save/load...
