Costume slots

Going to suggest something that I know has been suggested many times before.

First the Devs gave us Character slots (Wohoo) to buy (or get 1 free each year). For the Altoholics this was bliss.

Then we got the MA and the Devs decided that we only should have 3 MA Arc slots. However the news are that we will be able to buy additional MA arc slots. (I don't mind).

So.. DEVS... When will you add the much needed COSTUME SLOTS? We need Costume slots, I say again MORE costume slots. I enjoy the 5 we got, but with all the costume creativity of Jay and the limitless amount of combos... we are limited to 5 Costumes.
With the possibility of changing height, size, sex and get more costume options with the booster: Science... we are talking about even MORE costume possibilities.

Ok we have the save/load feature (horray), but could we please get more costume slots?
Want us to plead? Ok
/em plead
Please give us more costume slots. Pretty please with sugar on top?

(Ok Think I've pleaded alot now and hopefully not shot the subject completely.)
In advance thank you.

45 Month reward only has a respec atm IIRC...
SOA VEAT's get 6 slots, although they can't change the costume in it. (Halloween)
So when are they going to up the slots to at least 10,
(2x5) as we have 2 builds available, and 5 costumes for the original build.

Supposedly, according to the wiki, if you claim all the possible slots in the game for a VEAT, you end up with 6, but can only see 5 of them via the costume selector and so can't edit the 6th at the Facemaker. You can get to it with /cc 5, though.

My friends say that I need roughly 1.5 hours per costume change... when I know in advance what I want to build. Well, close enough for a small calculation.
At the moment I have 32 active characters.
So, each additional costume slot per character would keep me occupied for at least 48 hours or two days straight.
Result: Additional character slots are a potential risk to my health.
Result from the... result: I'll take two... or wait... three... or maybe...

eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

I can sympathise with ya buddy, one o my mates complains how long it takes me to make a new character, never mind my extra costume slots.

By right we should have gotten this when the dayjobs came into being. As we now all need a costume slot for the dayjob look at least.

Then we have a almost empty vet reward as already stated. That could be used to place this slot. Even if I will not reach it for ages... its still a good idea.

Don't forget that the slots are not only used for costumes anymore... They are used for power effect too. Lightning from eyes... shifting to werewolf shape. With all these functions the slots are running out fast.

oh.... and pleaseeeee...

yes, with new power colours and entire body changes more costume slots would be very good. at last I can think about making a toon that starts off as a little kid and grows into their hero-hood.(and then maybe dies, comes back as a zombie or cyborg and then evolves into some kind of energy being...if I so wish)


@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.

Just recently had an additional idea regarding this:
Up the editable costume slots to at least 6
Add an additional 'Day Job'/Civillian costume slot at level 10 for all AT's (Except SoA's)
Use the SoA first costume locked effect on the other AT's lvl 10 Day Job/Civillian style costume slot.
This would give every AT 6 costumes...
Normal, Day and 4 others for all AT's (Except SoA's)
Uniform, Normal and 4 others for SoA's

Not clear on the difference between the "uniform" and "normal" names you gave to SoA costumes. If you mean to give them an additional slot for their special VEAT costumes, then I'm all for it.

I just want to be able to use the VEAT costume editor on more than one slot for my SoAs.

Back on the old EU forums I made a suggestion for a micro-transaction pack that gave 20 costume slots to assign to your toons as well as this bizarre thing I called a 'Costume Change Emote'. (Not that I'm saying they got the idea from me but hey, great minds and all that...)

As pleased as I am to see the latter enter the game, I would still very much like to be able to earn/buy more slots for my toons. As Liz said, these are no longer just used for costume changes, often they're used for character effects, transformations etc and I'd very much love to see more slots around. The downside of course is that it would require reworking the costume selection box but just adding a slider at the bottom would fix that IMHO.

So yes, yes and yes again for this. Even if we have to earn them through Day Jobs, buy them through micro-transactions or complete another task for the Tailors, I'd do it.
