This is one of those costume pieces that would have never occurred to me but, now that the art department's come up with it, it has me thinking about its possibilities. And it's reasonably priced, too. Nice work all around.

Finally, a Firefighter helmet. I really like the inclusion of 'Day Job' gear and additional civil servant pieces. I know I've asked for this item and items like it and I feel that I'm actually being heard (on a lot more than just this); even though I know its not just my voice in this.|

While I don't have a character that can immediately wear this, I was wondering when the fire fighter helmet would become available to players. Rather interesting that there's two of them but I guess I'll see when I get in-game.

1. Would be if the Male Visored Version wasn't offset from the standard one, look at it from the side and with the Praetorian PD visor underneath and you will see the visored helmet move backwards and clip the PPD visor detail 1.|

Fix this please, it's only an offset issue.
2. Would be nice if this was a helmet set... They are in the hats category again.
If Paragon insists that helmets are hats, why not merge the Helmets, Half Helmets and Hats categories into Headwear?
Then we could have these head options: Standard, Headwear, (Special Helmets), Full Helmets, Monsterous, Beastial.
[Rage]
3. If you actually get around to fixing the Gunslinger costume in the creator, maybe the following could also get sorted out:
Fire Hat (W/Visor), SoA and Barbarian Iron Ring Monotone Gloves gaining a second color, IDF Defense glowing parts getting a Glow Only secondary pattern (Puke yellow gloves for a yellow glow is awful.).
4. Listings combined...
Chitin Shoulders for example has 2 options, Chitin 1 and 2.
Ascension parts have several options all under the Ascension Heading, yet the Clockwork, Barbarian, Sinister, and so on all have theirs listed separately! WHY?
5. Fix the sleeves issues with the short sleeve tops in the Jacket categories Sleeve Section, if nessasary add the Trenchcoat sleeves trick to them.
(Any full chest costume with bare upper arms looks awful, Insectoid for example.)

The firefighter helmet is begging to be put on my Axe/Fire Armor brute!

Avogadro, Science Lord
Edgar Nightcraft, Doc Cicada, Chupa Macabre, Dr Forchtenstein, Blood Shrew
So for my wife's mental health, please tell me the Rularuu-inspried armor that the cultist wear is coming soon.
The firefighter helmet is pretty slick. No real use for it, but I bought it anyway.

Reposting this here, since it's more appropriate in this thread than the patch notes:
Am I the only one who thinks the new firefighter helmets look rather low-quality? As in, a low poly count and kinda blurry textures? And the visored version just looks...badly constructed? I'll grant that I'm biased and a bit miffed that a oft-requested costume item has been relegated to the paid store rather than free or unlock-based (such as from the Steel Canyon Firefighting zone event), but these honestly just look poor for a paid piece, especially with the same hair coloring mistake complained about in several previous hats, IIRC.
If "weekly new items" is going to be synonymous with "rushed", that's another reason for me to continue to abstain from the Paragon Store.
And on a snarky note, both helmets clip an awful lot with various pieces... So how about those missing Circle of Thorns parts? 
Never surrender! Never give up!

I patched, bought the Firefighter helmet and the School Backpack and only the Backpack is showing up in the costume creator. I can't see the Firefighter helmet anywhere. =/

Got halfway through the arc so far on a break. I like it! I really like the new enemy group too. I hope we can get some of those spiny pieces (if not the eyes) added to the costume editor!

The new signature arc is pretty interesting and fun, but I'm kinda bummed that the reward screen is shared between part 1 and part 2, and presumably all parts. They are different (albeit connected) arcs, are they not? You can't even directly link from part 1 to part 2, so it seems reasonable that their rewards would not be on the same timer.

Yes, please. I mean, I'm assuming that running through every zone looking for new people standing around on the off chance that they might be the SSA contact is NOT considered part of the fun of the mission. If I hadn't seen the mention on the launcher I wouldn't have known it was in the game, and without the forums I would have missed this content completely.

I think the reward table for these Arcs is too good for it not to be shared across all the arcs. If they were all separate rewards tables then there would be far too many A-Merits been collected each week.

Each part of the arc has a "first run" bonus though. And what you saw is that. The first time you run any part of the arc (by character, not account), you get a "free" reward table that doesn't count towards the seven day timer.
So, as an example, if someone waited until all seven parts were released before ever running any of them, they could get 8 Alignment Merits in one day by running all seven parts and re-running one part a second time. But they would have to wait seven days before getting an Alignment Merit from any of them again, and would then be limited to one Alignment Merit per whole arc (and not per part) per seven days.
