Good decision.
Put them up much cheaper, and we can talk. And the female costumes.
I wonder if halloween has anything to do with this.

Maybe you cannot have 2 of the same (one permanent and one temporary) under the *exact* same name at the same time....

Unsure about the new ones, but I did have a Perma and Halloween one that was identical before.|

They may need to fix them to non PvP and not to block stealth powers.
They could also rig them with both a non detoggling ability and the yellow mob tech for that costumes faction, hence making you a member of that faction pending you attacking them, which would flag you as hostile even in the costume.

Not happy that I have to rework my spreadsheet based on this, but if they come back with reasonable prices, I will gladly reenter them... and purchase a few to boot!

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Doesn't seem to be affecting costumes already awarded (those con giveaways) or purchased. I just used the Pirate costume skin and it's WAI.

Now if they all cost half of THAT (or less) after whatever they're doing, then I'll actually be willing to spend the money on them.

I'll just hope when they return they are at half the price and have a far better selection. Then maybe I'll buy a few.

Please don't perpetuate the idea that looking like a NPC is significant to PvP. Even before there were Temp NPC Costumes and, VEATS, and now, actual NPC pieces (cf. Circle of Thorn), it was easy to spoof certain NPC groups.|

PvP should not be a consideration for players or for Devs when it comes to costuming.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Doom!
or... not. Hopefully its a price re-evaluation that is going on. I am not even going to concern myself with whether or not there will be rebates for those like myself who picked some up already. I am just going to be happy if they come back at 80 or less
Are these the powers I used to get from Booster packs?
Enjoy your day please.

No, they are the model replacement powers that make you look like an NPC, like the ones that drop during Halloween.

It would be nice to know a general reason behind their removal. I understand that if there's exploitation involved you can't go in to detail, but a line like "x was removed due to an exploit discovered when using x"
Thank you - we look forward to their revised pricing and more accurate descriptions.
I'm curious as to why they were removed too. I wasn't planning to buy any (too expensive), but I did have fun with them when I got them during Halloween.
I hope this doesn't mean we won't see the temp them this Halloween.
Yeh give us more costume options I'd love a Shivan Destroyer or just normal Shivan costume and the Meat Doctor from the Freakshow.
Hi everyone,
As of September 29, 2011, the NPC Costume Powers have been removed from the Paragon Market. They will be undergoing further evaluation and as such we will be reintroducing them at a later time.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding!
