Recolored costume parts/powers

Here's something that I haven't seen noted anywhere as yet. Since i17 went live, some of my characters' costume pieces' colors have been reset. For example, a pattern on one character's shield went from white to black. Similarly, some powerset colors that were customized have been changed to the default colors, but only on certain costumes.

I've communicated with one other person who experienced the same bug. Apparently, these are "real" costume changes, not graphical display issues (i.e., the white shield really did get changed to black, it doesn't just look black due to graphics settings). It looks as if yet another round of free costume tokens may be in order.

Has anyone else experienced these costume-related bugs or determined any rhyme or reason to them?

New issues spotted, 4/30/10: As with the Spines user below, some of my weapon-using characters have had their weapons reset, seemingly at random. For example, a pistolier had one of his pistols, a Tactical Sidearm with Laser Sight, reset to a plain Tactical Sidearm.

Perhaps more troublingly, the character whose shield pattern was recolored not only cannot recolor that pattern in the tailor; he can't get a pattern to appear on the shield at all. So far, this is the only problem I've seen that can't be fixed with a simple costume change.

Just came here to report this as well. Noticing that on ALL my characters, custom power colors have reset to default on ALL costume slots except for slot 0. Just asked an in game friend via tell if they saw the same thing and they confirmed that on the character they were currently playing, this was indeed the case.

Betting there is no way to fix this other than by hand on each costume. (Not all my powers are colored the same across all five costume slots on most characters.) Is there any chance that we can get another round of costume tokens though if this turns out to be a universal issue?

Also, the Metallic option on test shows it to be very shiney and reflective. On live any character already made can't seem to get this. I have 4 toons that have metallic bodys and such, and none are shiney or reflective. All are dull. When I go to the tailor, the option is still dull and the color is off. I use white and if I try again in the tailor it is a lot more grey. I even tried a fresh costume slot and no go on that too.

If you start a new toon, you are able to use the Metallic option in all it's new glory. This totally sucks for my already created toons.

Well crap. I just went in again to make a new toon with the Metallic body and it is dull there too. Wasn't earlier. Test still lets me make a shiney toon. Grrr. Seems the costume pieced that are supposed to "take advantage" of UM are bouncing back and forth from dull to shiney.

I also checked a toon that has all 5 slots with costumes. Some are shiney and some are not and some are the same pieces so go figure.

Yeah, my custom colors are missing on all of my characters...

Can't seem to save any new power customizations too. So, have to reset some alts manually

My custom colors are gone as well, and I don't feel like spending multiple thousands of inf to fix it. Hopefully they will throw us a free tailor session per slot on each character so that we can fix whatever they broke.

I cant even get my bane spider mace recolored all the costume on my crab were like one big mess up taking forever to load .

Contacts took forever to load but once loaded it was fine .
But costumes seems to be messed up or missing id tags .

Add me to the list of those with power coloring issues. Powers were reset. It's not the money for me really, it's the time it'll take to fix it across all affected toons and costumes.

Just tested three characters. Same problem. Custom powers are gone in slots past the first one. Not testing any further characters, as some of mine have highly customized powers, and I haven't saved religiously after every change.

Same thing for me.

I have two accounts. Ran them on two different computers. One on Windows Vista and one with Windows 7. Both had reset to default colors on powers on everything but the default costume slots.

I hope they can fix this, as it looks like I have about 100 costumes that were broken. So much for "free" costume tokens.

Add me to the list. My main had his third costume's powers coloured pure white and they are now back to the default/legacy colours.

I first noticed it on my DP/EM blaster when I decided to use her energy melee attack and it came up the default colour.

EDIT - to add; this was on Vista while my main was on the Mac client

This is very unlikely to have anything to do with client versions or settings, it looks very much like a server-side database screw-up. I'd really like to hear if there is anyone with a character using Power Customization on slot above the 1st that does NOT have this issue.

Yep, happening to all my costumes except the 1st slot. The worst part is, most of my customizations weren't saved (and they were plentiful and varied) so I would have to redo each power from memory, if I can even remember which color combos I FINALLY liked - grrrr....

Yes this sucks. I'm having this bug too. Hoping we can somehow get it back..

Me as well and the person on my team who i checked it with, seems to be a pretty wide spread problem without any unifying factors at the players end.

I've only had time to log in one toon so far and I notcied that his FFG bubble and acid mortar colors had gone back to green. His costume was ok though.

I found that my Metallic costume parts were reset to top part on the relevant list. Reselecting Metallic made them nice and shiney.

I assumed this was due to the old versions not being the same as the new so just changed them. Same name doesn't mean same code.

I did find that trying to use reset made the pattern cycle continuously through the list. Fun to watch but not much use.
