Anyone else notice someone missing?

Alright, so I was in the RWZ just hanging out, more to avoid Arbitrating anything for a bit then anything else, when I noticed that something seemed to be missing.



... Rikti Monkey stole my chestplate! If anyone's seen it, please return it ASAP. I can't be a proper Arbiter without armor!

Hehe, anyway, has anyone else ever had this happen? It looks like the breastplate/shoulder spikes were replaced by the little Arachnos symbol that normally sits on the breastplate; not even Icon can fix it. It's simply gone, completely, and it looks really, really strange.

Are you in SG mode? Several of the armor overlays are chest symbols and so get replaced in SG mode unless you turn display SG symbol off.

Or do you mean that the actual item is missing from the tailors?

I'm not in SG mode, I've tried toggling between the two and the problem remains. When I go to select the other breastplate option in the tailor it'll take my money but doesn't change anything.

... in short, both versions of the breastplate are simply gone.

Yeah, the chestplate's technically part of the Collar detail, so I think SG emblems just get put on top of it.

I miss mine, too.

In that case it sounds like a bug, you probably should file a bug report.

I have. I've even tried switching to the Bane Spider armor to try to jump-start it into working--nothing. It's like the piece doesn't exist anymore. Has this been a common problem; or is this something new?

This has happened before, but was fixed. Looks like it got unfixed.

It's very clear that Steve's chestplate isn't the only thing that's gone missing...

It could be some subtle joke about how Widows and Spiders are no longer only one gender?

Maybe it's really supposed to be "Stephanie", and she just doesn't like it? Like back in the day on Father Dowling Mysteries - his nun sidekick was properly Sister Stephanie, and she always preferred to be called Sister Steve.

Indeed, she may have joined under an assumed name back when spiders were all male. When females were allowed to join she changed her *ahem* breastplate since it was more comfortable but didn't bother getting her name officially changed due to the whole mess of paperwork that would entail.


EDIT: Interestingly, according to the internet a male breastplate would actually fit a woman better than one with two large bulges. Of course, everyone knows that female superheros have very different anatomies from normal people.

Nuns are a bad example. The principal of my elementary school was Sister John.

Steve kicked more butt then the rest of her graduating class at Wolf Spider academy; and one of her male classmates (second in the class) started calling her 'Steve' as a joke, which caught on like wildfire. It's not her real name, but it's what everyone in Arachnos calls her.

Really, I made her on launch day for VEATs--she was indeed a joke referencing the formerly all-male nature of the Wolf Spiders. I also made a huge max-height max-slider Blood Widow named Widow Steve (who wound up deleted, 'cause I found his concept a bit more horrifying)

Is it any more weird than a chick named Tex?

No, I think he'd be the superintendent.

God knows how to delegate; he's very "hands off".
