Well that explains why I never did get a costume Saturday or Sunday.
Thanks for the heads up!

This also seems to be true for being Exemped.... yes people still do that.
Doesn't being on a team auto SSK you now?

I think the problem is SSK to a level that's appropriate for the zone, but not appropriate *for you*.|

So, a level 2 toon SKK'd to 49 won't get costume drops in PI, but a level 2 SSK'd to 6 in Atlas Park should.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem...

If you're the same level as the team leader everything works as should be (at least it does for level 50s).

This does not match my observation. True level 31 toon, SSK'd to a true level 40 toon for a SK level of 39, was getting no actual costume powers at all although the costume-count badge counter (Fashionable, etc.) was going up. Zones were mostly Brickstown with some Founder's Falls, both are 30-40 ToT zones. The true 40 was getting actual costumes. At other points the team SSK level was 37-ish, still no actual costumes. |

The following night, being the team leader and not SSK'd, the same toon in the same zone (Brickstown) had no problem getting actual costumes.

Hey folks,
Some of you are already aware of this issue but we wanted to give you all a heads up so you can enjoy the 2010 Halloween event to its fullest! While sidekicked, the Halloween Temporary Costume Powers are not awarding correctly and this means that if your character will not receive Halloween Temporary Costume Powers from Trick or Treating if they are part of a team and are sidekicked. They will however be awarded Badge credit for the drops they would have otherwise received.
This issue with costume drops only seems to affect characters who are sidekicked, and should have no effect on characters who are trick or treating solo or while not sidekicked. If you are specifically looking for the Temp Power drop, we recommend at this time that you Trick or Treat in a level appropriate zone either solo or with a group of players at a similar level. Remember you can always pass leadership around if you have a slight level variation in your group!
Thank you for your patience,
