All Things Art: 'Lost' Costume Pieces

This mask, which according to the costume text files is called "Mask 1". It differs from the currently available masks in that the mask does not cover the chin and lower jaw.

There were also a bunch more masks labeled "Mask 2", "Mask 3", etc. Some of those got renamed when the new masks were put in, but I doubt this was the only one left out.

The "Witch Bare" option for the female form was available for monstrous legs back when the Magic Booster was introduced ... At some point this combo was made unavailable.

Would be nice to have that back and to be able to add to and/or edit other items onto that character's costume.

For a short while on Test, Soldiers of Arachnos(the Huntsman/Bane/Crab kind) were able to go helmetless. That is, they were able to be in full Arachnos armor without the helmet. This was great! Then the feature was removed and it never went live. It would be very very nice to have this back!

Also as someone mentioned earlier in the thread: when using Ultra Mode, the secondary patterns on most Shield types don't show up. I think this is due to a bug and not a "taken away" costume piece, but I figure it fits enough to mention here.

Agree on wanting the pirate shirt and the fur shoulders back, regardless of if it's supposed to be a Woodsman unique piece.

While you're working on this stuff, I also urge you to take a look at gender parity for costume parts. Perhaps it warrants yet another thread, "All Things Art: Gender Parity"? But there are a lot of things Females have that Males/Huge don't, and vice-versa.

Here's what I'll cast my hat for that's already been mentioned: Wings+Bolero/Trench/coattails, Fur shoulders, legacy thigh-highs, and a new suggestion:
Can we get the old Glowing Eyes face back but tweaked with the new glow rig you used on the Bioluminescence and Organic Armor sets?

If you do nothing else, please bring back the old-style thigh-high boots. The current ones look terrible and the old ones were great.

Is this the thread where I ask them to bring back nipples/areolas on the female body models?

Seriously, they changed the Tights-Stiletto look at some point to add in a "sole" on the bottom of the foot. I'll have to take screen shots but I preferred the old way (which I still have on a character).

Old pointy eared face.
Malaise pants.

David, did you know that there used to be moving hair in the CoH beta? I'm not sure if you'd be able to find it now, but adding in new moving hair would be acceptable too.

Not sure if this is the kind of thing you are after, David, but the old knee level split in the pants allowed for variations that we do not have now using current patterns. Had to do with the stretching and location. Was wondering if that compressed pattern, possibly even with the split pattern could be re-established. Here an example of the pants-baggy-stripe 3 pattern, current on left, old on right (at the time 5 years ago, I was trying to find a way to simulate chaps):



There also used to be a star pattern, identical to the boot "star" pattern below, that you could get on the lower half of the pants.

The original version of the bobcut hairdo for females. I've always hated the current one. There were lots of complaints when it was replaced because someone thought it was too high.

Not a lost item, but the panels skin has never been fixed since it was broken - the back and front don't meet properly.

Also, the Arachnos logo on the full widow catsuit costume still doesn't meet properly. There's a large part of the logo missing on the inside leg.

Oh, talk about miss the obvious. What about all those parts that the NPC Cimmerora women are using? We had them briefly then they were taken away. Also I think there were a few male pieces that were accidentally added but them pulled.

Oh and don't forget about the Malaise pants. Those are proper old school and have been lost in the mists of time as far as I recall.

I came across an image in SexyJay's thread where someone had posted an image of a necklace that appeared to be bone. I have to be able to find it, but I think it was available back in Original Beta, the current options for what can be worn around the neck are vary limiting.

(a bit off topic, sorry)

No screen shots, and I don't think we have ever had this but, it would be nice to have a few variations of an "Abe Lincoln" beard.

The Task Force Commander accolade briefly unlocked a pair of shoulder epaulets. Essentially the same as the two spiked epaulets except... um, without the spikes. The normal epaulets vanished from the game a while back, for no discernible reason. I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one NPC wearing them.

Several people mentioned the wrapped head option. There's an NPC in the game who uses this head, if you need a reference. On Dmitri Krylov's mission "Defeat Experiment 236 and Witnesses", the titular Experiment 236 is using the wrapped head. It'll be very hard to see since it's black on black and 236 is on fire, but you could always look at his costume pointers, I guess.

Also, I'm pretty sure the fur shoulders were not yanked because of Woodsman. The "Monstrous Fur" torso option gave you something like five different variants of monster fur, not just what Woodsy is wearing.

Dr. Shelly Percey is wearing some clear glasses that I swear up and down used to be available to players. At some point, they were replaced with the Sunglasses option we have now. I can't prove it, and everyone else thinks I'm crazy, though.

Incidentally, Females still have access to the split patterned pants, using "Tight Pants" as the bottom (Please don't take this away because I'm pointing it out to you. Instead give it back to everyone.):

I don't know if my Search-fu is weak, or if this is a lost costume piece. I recently made a character with a jacket with what appeared to be an Asian Dragon design. I kinda liked that design. Could I have it back?
