What CoT costume parts would YOU want?

So we're going to be getting a Circle of Thorns costume set sometime, and we've seen a screenshot of a player version. Elsewhere, Noble Savage said something to the effect of trying to port over as many of the NPC pieces to players as possible. So while those who have said anything seem to think that the player version of the CoT outfit is a bit on the skimpy side, there may be more of it that we haven't seen yet.

So if it were up to you and you could beat up any CoT NPC and steal the costume pieces you wanted, which ones would you snatch?
(Oh great- now I have a vision of a happy group of heroes running off with their shiny new robes while a group of CoT limps back to Orenbega either left with nothing but their boxers, or holding clumps of bushes over themselves to preserve their modesty! One minion grousing to his boss "These outfits are great boss, but there's one little problem. Those heroes keep beating us up expressly to steal them!"

I would want all the skirt versions, or as many as possible, not just the short, tailless version.
I would also like the armor plated gauntlet sans spikes modeled by some of the lt. level mages. Those would make a nice substitute for the ascension gauntlets until my characters reach level 50 I would also like the jeweled belt, I actually prefer it to the sash shown in the player version screenshot.
I wouldn't mind having the mitre-style hat worn by some of the mages, I might just find a use for it. But aside from the tailed long skirts, my fave costume piece HAS to be the high collar and short little cape worn by some of the mages. We could use some capelets like that, it would look very cute worn over a short jacket.
Here's a screenshot of some of the parts I'd run a mile for:

All of them

and if they offered anther bundle that was less spikey I'd buy that as well.

I really hope we get that collar the energy mage is wearing. That and the bosses hat are my 2 favorite of the CoT pieces.

I hope the rednames are reading this and taking notes
Seeing how the skirts on these guys seem to be built in similar fashion to the long ladies steampunk skirt, I don't see why these wouldn't work for us players. In fact, it seems that a lot of these parts would work for us no problem, the energy mage's collar might be the only tricky one. I'm not sure how that would be rigged- either the collar attached to shoulder armor are under the shoulders slot and the cape is under back details, or the collar and cape are handled in a similar fashion to the high collared capes we got with the magic pack. Either way, if it's compatible with player rigs, I want

Those vambraces are nice.


'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.

We've got quite a few votes here for "everything", including me
With that in mind, if that player screenshot is really "What you see is all you get", would you be as interested in buying it?
Me? I honestly don't know. On one hand, I could use those basic pieces. But without the other, cooler parts, the set would lose a lot of appeal, and feel very incomplete to me.
If the set has a great of the new pieces made, I know I'll buy it as soon as I possibly can. It will be like the celestial and ascension sets were for me- I couldn't wait to get them unlocked and dress my favorite alts in various combos of the pieces.
If it's just the bare minimums, I won't be so enthusiastic, because the parts that I really want for various costume ideas aren't there.

I bet we are only getting the Archer basic costume.
Hood, shoulders, sash, tights, spiky gloves and boots and robe skirt.
No cape, no pope hats, no high collar, no big bracers with leader strips, no fancy jewereld belt.

While most of the revamped CoT costume pieces are too rococo for my taste, I'd like the high collar. The game has far too few such pieces, and it would be useful in the creation of Ditko-esque designs.

The real question for this thread, however, is "How much would you pay for them?"

All the parts exist as player pieces, I assume they won't withhold bits that are ready-to-use out of spite. You can see then if you edit a demorecord.

To my eyes, the new CoT look like a coral reef on legs. I'd have to see each piece by itself over a basic character model to be able to tell what those pieces ARE, and only then will I know what I actually want out of them.

I do know which of the pieces I will buy, however - all of them. If this comes out in a pack (and it will) I'll simply snag the pack itself.

Do they work on all body types, though? I could see a few things being left out for parity reasons.

My needs are simple...

To really do my Nemissary proper justice, I just have to have the Death Mage outfit.

All of it.

If we only get the basic archer costume, do you think the pack will sell as well? Somehow I doubt it. More options=more sales likely.

Part of me thinks that if we get as much of this set as possible, it might be fun to make an Oranbegan SG- remember that arc where they tell you that in one parallel world, the Oranbegans are good guys?

I said in another thread that if the lieutenant and boss pieces haven't been made in female and huge yet, I would rather wait for them to be converted and have a more detailed and fun pack, than to have it released now, with only the minion-level stuff that already fits both genders.

It seems that many of the boosters lately have taken on a drastically different look depending on gender- females get one outfit, males get another, with only a few parts shared. It would be nice to see another booster on par with mutant and martial arts, where the outfit is the same for both genders.

The BELT. And have it work on girls. A non-stripperific part for girls is unusual these days, I know, but still!

The Hats and the Collars.

I want more, for sure, but those are the two top wants.

"Everything" would be best.

Definitely the hats... and the collars... Definitely want the hats and the collars. Gotta have the hats and the collars.
Augghhh... Do we get the hats and the collars? Should definitely get those. The hats and the collars. Definitely want the hats and the collars. Gotta have the hats and the collars.

Honestly...? I want the old minion costume. Creepy Cultist With No Face made the Circle for me. I HATE their use of the "Bonehead" face to attempt to replace it on the player rig.

Are you dying to make a flamboyant pope?

...you camped that name on Exalted, didn't you?

I want the gauntlets, and the snakeskin tights... nothing else.

Also, I hope the tall hats NEVER become available. To me, those are just too signature to be given to everyone.
