All Things Art: 'Lost' Costume Pieces

Add me as a "me too!" for the Malaise pants!

Possibly posted already, but the four "skull" brooches for capes.

well, i understand the rigging issue, but here is the thing, right now, we have jetpacks, a lot of people would like a jetpack for thematic reasons, even if it did not automatically give flight, now i certainly respect their desire not to do things half heartedly, if the pieces exist right now, have been put on characters, even if it is with clipping, and the people are content with that, then perhaps it could be like tails, put it in the back category now, like wings and capes, use the existing art that already exists and they could make people happy until such time as they could make a node, then, like tails, they could transition them to a better rigged one, if they get around to it. seems like a win win here to me, we have jetpacks, several actually, right now, just let them be non functional back pieces and i think you will make many people very very happy. I cant obviously say it is easy, but compared to rerigging or making new art assets, i think it would be less work intensive. no nerdrage here, and im subbed till september of next year as of today, so i doubt im going anywhere just a modest proposal to make some people happy with less investment of work.

Going on that post, not only is it possible to give characters back details so long as they are exclusive to capes and the like, AND hip details like the VG plates, but it's been available since I9. And hasn't been given to Player Characters yet. Why? I'm waiting to see if David actually gets back to that one or not. But I'd be very interested in an answer.

the obvious answer is that it works on a few body types and looks like hell on others or at different slider settings, and they want to make them look good, not have egregious clipping issues. some pieces already do, and people overlook them for their piece's inherent coolness (the bolero has this) but i dont blame them to not want to make the game have too many pieces that just get slapped on that clip badly, now see my above post for why i think some pieces could be allowable, but some, maybe we could be a little calmer and more rational about. and make less ultimatums. david did predicate these threads with a warning that if it gets nasty, he is out, so lets not burn the bridge with silly threats, even if made in jest.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Freedom Phalanx pattern. I used to have this on a few chars. Probably a bug, but it was nice to have.

Ability to use wings with trenchcoat and bolero. Said numerous times that wings aren't part of the 2-cape block (which isn't consequential, since it's still allowed with some costume pieces). So want those back, please.

The short tail version which used to be with the bolero and tenchcoats, helped with clipping.

A bug i know, but the 90 degree rotated skirts were nice, looked really nice with some combianations.

And another bug. Where you could lose the trenchcoat-tail which ended up being a rather cool leather jacket imo.


Skintones for costume pieces. I know why they were removed, but could limit the options to pieces so chars cannot look nude. Mostly want for chest emblems, gloves, boots.

I've been hoping for a serious engine re-write for the game just so we don't have these kinds of 'engine limitation problems' (only 2 more skeletal points, no quadrupeds, etc) for quite a while now. I don't *expect* it, but I'd love it.
Sh'loads of work? Obviously. Free the devs hands to potentially do a lot of things we clamor to have, but pose serious engine limitation problems? Would stand to reason.
It just irks me that the devs are constantly having to work with, and work around, limitations in the engine of a game that was never initially coded to provide the level of dynamic, adaptable, and awesome gameplay that the devs now are constantly trying to deliver to us, while having the engine seemingly fight them on the issue at every turn.

I'd like to have back the original skirts that didn't hug your hinder quite so much.

At one time I think that this bandoleer, was available for females but not any more.



Now females only have access to the crossed bandoleer. Note both these toons are useing the armored torso, however only males get the single bandoleer. I have no proof of this other than my faulty memory. It should be changed in any case.

All of this is incredibly useful, guys. Thank you very much. Just wanted to let you know that I've compiled a list, and that we're looking into it. Please continue to post if you remember anything else.

After almost 7 years we didnt had a backpart or leg/arm detail or single neck detail added, I doubt we ever see a new attachment point added to the players models.
But, hey, who knows. We now have tails separated from bells.
I think backparts are the most demanded new part to be added.
And for this thread, I want the legacy tight boots back.
Also would be cool if we could add textures, like metallic, leather straps, medieval, etc...

Not sure if this is a "Lost" costume piece, but one of the "suit" pieces, I think the double breasted blazer has a pinstripe texture and as far as I can see, there are no corresponding matching sleeves.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a 'lost' costume piece, but it is definitely something I want. The female merit vendor in Sharkhead Isle near the black market truck is wearing a very awesome looking belt.



It seems to be a common trend for the Merits Vendors to be created from existing player enabled costume pieces, why is her belt an exception.. and can we have it? please?
