Cabal Costumes - they're different than I remember

Back sometime during Issue 6 or 7, I made a Cabal-themed outfit for one of my characters (complete with the Cabal Hat from the KHTF). Aside from some minor coloration tweaks, the outfit was as close to a Cabal outfit as you could get.

Well, after taking a couple years off, I recently reactivated my account, and while poking around in Croatoa I noticed that the Cabal NPC's all look different than I remember. Their outfits look subtly different, simpler than before.

I'm wondering... did the Cabal get a slight makeover somewhere over the last few years, or did I take more liberties designing my Defender's outfit than I recall?

At least they don't have the male faces any more.


61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)

Well, you probably had to take more than a few liberties, namely the fact that they have a tattered skirt which isn't available to PCs.

Nope. Those are just bad graphics settings vs good graphics settings. All those pieces are the same.

Look same to me.

Torn skirt. Hat with hair (grumble), the chest/shoulder detail and the buttwingcape.

Prob see diffrence cause you play on higher graphic settings.

I do remember having to take some liberties with the outfit due to costume part unavailability, but there's pieces on my costume that aren't on theirs at all, like bone shoulder pieces, and a baroque tight top.

I'll have to post a picture of my defender sometime when I get the chance to illustrate the differences.

Unfortunately, the pictures on the Wiki are a bit hard to see, but this one seems to show some pretty ripped abs.

For what ever reason, there's a few Female NPC that use the Male skin texture. First place i noticed it was with the Paragon Protectors.
