Essentially, if you want the Alpha and Omega stuff, you have to pay real monies. They're not freebie costume parts.

Hmn. Are you sure the costume parts come with I18? I was under the impression they were part of Going Rogue as well? After all, it makes no sense for someone who has never been to, nor can get to Praetoria, to be sporting a load of Praetorian based costume parts...
*shrug* Doesnt bother me, just trying to make sure we dont get swamped with a ton of rage threads if they are GR only.

I think it was Ocho who made a joke early in the Beta saying that they could always tie them to various and sundry badges if we wanted, instead of just giving them to us. I'm pretty sure he was joking, but everyone seemed to take him seriously.
I'll let you know for sure on Tuesday...

I don't see any of the new costumes as being patently unusable by magical types, with the possible exception of the Clockwork stuff (though those might make good magical masks in combination with a hood .... hmmm). I'm next to certain that I'll end up using some on some of my many, many magic-origin characters.

(This is my new meme for i18; please spread it around.)I suspect that one reason we're getting such an emphasis on everything except magic in a new setting is that people have been whining for several issues now about how there's "too much magical stuff," how "that Origin of Power thing made all origins Magic," and how "magic isn't a superhero thing." I don't really agree with that, but it's undeniable that there's plenty of magic stuff in the game as a whole. I don't expect everything introduced to revolve around it.
For what it's worth, I am not one of those anti-Magic Origin people. Magic is my favorite origin, and I'll be making more magical characters for the Praetorian content.

It does appear to have been taken in the costume creator, but I believe it's a PC costume piece (Hats--> Resistance).

Much obliged Kheldarn, that's exactly what I was hoping for. Slap some goggles on with that and it's gold.

My one gripe with the resistance hat is that you cannot use 'Goggles up' with it. While the Resistance can.
*sigh*
I see why, though. Certain hats would have to be marked 'dont allow x, y and z costume parts' while others would need to be marked 'allow etc'
Something for a future revamp I hope.

Wow, I specifically went through hats to see what might be there and saw nothing... My Costume Creator Search-Fu has become WEAK!!!!!
(They should add one with goggles up, since we can't choose goggles up with it)
Also, we need to get some of these options fixed up... I've noticed no Resistance Goggles on Masks With Hair Heads... very odd! (For males, I didn't check Females and Huge).
Anyways... I'm sure there's a list of all of those inconsistencies.

Is it possible they included the costume pack seperately for people who want them, but don't want to have to buy GR just for them?
