Costume slot question


Eric Nelson

 

Posted

Ok, so I'm back after a long while trying out this VIP thing and I noticed that some of the costume slots on some of my characters have a small padlock icon on the top corner of the individual window panes. It doesn't seem to have any affect since I can still use all my costumes regardless of whether the icon is there or not, but its presence has me puzzled. I've tried doing a search on the forums but had no luck finding anything. So I'll ask!

Any idea why that little icon is there (seemingly randomly) on some costume slots and what effect (if any) it has?

Thanks

There are 5 costume slots for sale on Paragon Market. You are seeing a shopping cart button to add them to your shopping cart.

If you buy a costume slot it unlocks on all of your characters.

It's 800 pts to unlock it.

either 2 months of subscription
or $10 in points.
or some combination of the 2.

Ok, but the icons are very small and appear on costume slots I already possess. I can access and use them just fine. Why would these icons show up on costume slots I already own, and have owned for many years?

Also, the 5 'buy in store' slots that show up underneath the original 5 have shopping cart icons with 'buy in store' written under them. This is a large shopping cart icon, not the much smaller padlock I see in the upper corner on some of the slots on my older characters.

Yeah, I'd like to see it too -- I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out exactly WHAT interface the OP is even looking at...

Ok, try THIS.

If that link worked right, you should be able to see the little padlock thing in the upper left corner of 4 of the 5 costume selection window panes.

I have NEVER seen that icon present there on any of my toons.

Possibly it denotes some kind of item(s) in the costume that are change, relocated, no longer available, or locked somehow? I'm struggling to think of a logical explanation for that...

I believe the padlock means that some of the parts in that costume are ones that have been moved in the reshuffling of the costume menus. You may have to hunt down the part and redo it if you edit the costume.

Got the same thing; I presume it means that some or all of the costume pieces used in the costume are locked or have been changed but it seems an odd thing to indicate on the costume select screen as it doesn't seem to stop you from changing into that costume.

You can change to them with no issue. When you select them at the tailors to edit, a box will pop up saying that there are some costume issues with the costume that will need to be fixed when you open it up for editing.

This is what I would've assumed too but a character I have that I know has the now invalid mask with hair option doesn't have the locked icon.

No idea what the padlocks mean either.
i think it's time for another game of "Ask a Dev What These New Icons Are Supposed To Tell Us".


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

This is what the padlock means.

On my Dual Blade stalker, I had the padlock on my costume that uses the Organic swords from the mutant pack. When I went into the costume editor, my swords were changed from the organic swords to scimitars. I scrolled through my weapon options and the organic swords were still there, so they either got renamed, or moved on the list.

I guess if that's all it means then I can safely ignore them. Thanks.

This is exactly what the little lock means.

Edit:
Looking at the picture, I would guess the face part has been changed/moved.

Edit2:
You will be able to enter the tailor session, and look for the parts with price changes. You were given a free tailor token to fix the parts without cost to you. If you are not satisfied, you can back out without changing the costume.
