Free Arachnos Widow Sex Change... MANDATORY!

With issue 21 I made a new Arachnos Widow alt of the female gender. As I leveled her up, I hit the mission where I go to the Facemaker and unlock my "Paragon Hero disguise costume" 2nd costume slot. I wanted to make a non-Arachnos costume for her, so I clicked on a Tailor Token in my email box and then went to claim it.

The Character Slot window popped up, except the 2nd slot was the generic male.

So I tried loading up my original costume and saving it to load into the 2nd one. I can't. The 2nd slot is now labeled forever male and, without Super Tailor Access, I can't think of a way to fix this.

I bought the five extra costume slots, and both my soldier and widow's (both female and no other costume slots unlocked) have five generic male costumes now. I tested it and it happens with new widows, too.

It's not a huge deal for me because I do have super tailor access and more than enough costume change tokens to fix it, but it's still annoying.

If they want to solve this problem by giving those affected by it free super tailor access, by all means.

But I'm not going to pay for something to correct a bug on their part.

I /bug'd this in game when it happened.

Next time I'm on I will be petitioning it. I'll post any findings I get there from support over this.

Tried zoning and nothing helped.

I petition'd it and got the response of "This issue will be addressed in an upcoming patch."

I'm having this problem too, and I made my widow over a year ago. However, I never leveled my widow past level 10, and unlocked the costume after the issue was released.

I received the same 'we're looking into it, it will be fixed in a future patch, and there is absolutely nothing we can do for you' sort of response though. I'm disappointed, but at least I like the default widow uniform.

I refuse to buy the super tailor to fix this, however.

I must say, I was rather disappointed when I entered the thread.

I just encountered the same problem. No solution yet, huh?

A friend and I both encountered this a couple of nights ago when we were running our female widow and female soldier together. The costume slot unlocked during Brick's arc was indeed set to the generic male model. However, we found that if we attempted to load our saved Arachnos costumes and then check "Attempt to Fix" it did a passable job of fixing. It did not get the face or hair right and of course, could not copy the costume, but it did change the gender to female and set the scales appropriately, so we were able to work with that.

When I first saw this, I was seeing another character with the issue. They had a female widow, had chosen a 2nd costume, and it was male-enforced etc. etc. Only while they were in that 2nd costume (trying to edit I guess) I saw a horrific thing. I think it's related? You can see how it's female AND male at the same time... I don't know if the player saw it like that themselves, but that's how others would see it I guess since I did.

That's not horrific, that's *TOTALLY FREAKIN' SWEET*.

/Wonders if it can be made permanent.
//And if not, when can we expect it to be made permanent in an upcoming patch? Pleeeeeease?

I don't know if this is related or not, but all the costume slots I've unlocked since Issue 21 (or previously unlocked slots where I just wanted to change the costume) have Male face #1 and the "Fury" hair when opened in the costume creator screen regardless of what face or hair was originally used for the character the slot was unlocked on.

Just got hit with this bug too. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon, though if they can't it seems like the most logical step would be just that Widows get free Super Tailor access, if they can localize it like that.

I might. I don't know what Super Tailor access means?

EDIT: Ah, I found the info. The ability to change height, gender, etc. that came with the Science pack. You are right, I do have that.

I don't, but I've learned to live with having a Ranma-esque transgender Widow at this point. The female Widow is the traditional Widow outfit, the male is a new costume I made out of CoT, Valkyrie, and Superscience.

It's still a huge bug and should be on the known issues list. Support tells me they are working on a fix, but I can't, for the life of me, think how they will go and retroactively adjust dozens of Widow's genders with a script or a bug fix.
