No, it doesn't. See that little triangle bump to the left of the corner of the corset, right in the middle of the breast? That's the Barbarian top. Look at it from less of a lowered angle and it's extremely obvious.

There is. They look like boots made out of wrapped fabric, the intention is probably soft leather. They look pretty good, actually.

I want female versions of the Barbarian Ring Shoulder, Glove, and Belt pieces the males have.

Females do get Barbarian Ring shoulders, if you mean the metal loops around the upper arm. I've got them on a couple of costumes now.

Also (as I just noticed Forbin also said, and so much for skimming): Female characters don't get the cool belt and shoulders pieces with the giant-rivet-lookin' things. Instead, they get weaksauce girly armbands and a ring belt. That's lame.

Speaking of which, why does the male Gloves option that matches that belt not have two color masks? It can't be made to match the belt and/or upper-arm bands if they have a background color set. That needs fixed.

Gah. Those rings are butch! They're not thin little rings, that's quite a bit of metal! And that belt has become my new #1 used costume piece!

Compared to the male's armbands they're thin little rings.

And the female barbarian belt is cool... for a dancing slave girl. Just clip a leash or chain to the handy ring and you're all set.

I wouldn't advocate changing those pieces, mind, but I do wish the girls got the "tougher" pieces that the males got.

I also wish the Barbarian Ring glove option for males was properly two-toned to match the belt and shoulder pieces. I think someone dropped the ball there.

Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

More specifically, I want a flatter soled heel for the thigh high barbarian boots.

OH HELL'S YEAH! I totally forgot to mention that.

No I mean the male versions. The current female items make me think of dancing slave girls, not the engines of death and destruction that make mean quake in fear.

I hope we can see some add ons/fixes in future patchs.
Im worried about this new trend, if new paid costumes are not added on test, we cant provide feedback and devs use to say when a costume set is bought, boat sailed, in add ons terms...

The devs have also said they will still be doing free issues so costume pieces can still be added to the game for free. The items I mentioned don't necessarily have to be part of the Barbarian Set.

What I'd like the Barbarian Bundle to have:

Males/Huge:

Barbarian Iron Boots (Bare/Thighs feed under option, shinplate like you can get for wrist/upper arms)
Barbarian Ring Anklets (Ring just above the ankles in the style of the Male Barbarian Ring Arm piece)
Barbarian Buckled Belt. (Similar to the chest detail.)

Female:

Barbarian Laced/Belted Gloves up to top of forearm.
Barbarian Laced/Belted Gloves up to middle of bicep.
Barbarian Ring Bracelet
Barbarian Ring Anklet.
Barbarian Ring Choker for Heads/Detail 1.

What's wrong with looking butch???

I want my female Brute to look like a Brute!

The Beta is full of bugs? How can that be?!
