Discussion: New Tier 9 VIP Paragon Reward: Fire and Ice Costume Set now available!

Harness the primal elements with the new Tier 9 VIP Paragon Reward, the Fire and Ice Costume Set! VIP players who have reached Tier 9 on the Paragon Rewards Tree can unlock this set of 38 brand new costume options! Create a body of volcanic rock and animated roiling magma, or become a living ice floe with crystalline armor jutting from your arms and legs! Wield mighty weapons such as the Fire and Ice Swords, Elemental Sword, and Fire and Ice Mace! You can sprout flaming Phoenix Wings from your back, or have a waterfall cascade down it!

Tier 9 VIPs, use your Paragon Rewards Tokens to unlock the Fire and Ice Costume Set in Boxes 4, 5, and 6 of the Tier 9 VIP Rewards.

Those of you who have yet to acquire all of the Celestial Armor Pieces--the previous Tier 9 VIP Reward--have no fear: these pieces will still be available for a limited time before being cycled out of rotation! (To return at a later date)

That's nice. Where in the costume editor do I find these new costume parts?

Before I came to work today, I bought all three new packs, then went to the tailor and couldn't find anything new in the Costume Sets menu.

See here: New Paragon Rewards Available: Fire and Ice Costume Sets

so did we ever get word if the Celestial Armor Pieces were going to be available for purchase outside of the Tier 9 VIP window? I can only recall a vague, wishy-washy "We're looking into it" response, but I'm probably forgetting something

Or, can we get a rough idea of how long the "limited time" till it disappear actually is? or of when it is going to be rotated back in?

This set makes me feel kinda warm and tingly.

So basically you're not going to tell us at all when Celestial is going away, you're just gonna let them sit until you pull the rug out from under us in a few months.

Nice.

With that grievance aired, I love the fact sheets for the costume sets, these need to accompany every new costume set.

Those promotional pictures make me think that we really do need fire and ice zones that aren't just mission maps

Would be nice to know when the Celstial pieces are going away for certain. Since they will likely never say a word when that is, what do you guys and gals speculate? One month? two?

I too would like to know when the Celestial pieces are going out. In my opinion (the only one I can offer) the Celestial set is SO much cooler than the Ice/Fire sets. By and large, the Ice/Fire sets feel sort of "meh" with a few select pieces I find awesome and would use (fiery wings, the waterfall backpack, weapons). On the other hand, I love every single Celestial piece I've seen out and about, with the exception of the energy wings underwhelming me a bit.

I still have one more Tier 8 slot to get before I can even grab Tier 9. I'm hoping to at least get a chance at some of the yummy Celestial-ness before it goes away. Or at least get a reasonable way to pick them up later.

Nice costume parts

And I said to myself a couple of days ago: "Self, you magnificent bastitch," I said, "you can go ahead and spend those three tokens on the Celestial pieces because it will probably be a month or two before that Fire & Ice set actually goes live." I should've noticed that I was wearing the red devil costume at the time rather than the wings and halo.

No Flappy option for Phoenix wings? What gives? Can you not use the same rig that's in use for the Celestial wings?

Also, the waterfall backpack/cape thing appears to have some rocks or bones or something jutting out the back of the character's shoulders. Is there any way we can get an option to remove these?

Got to say that helmet/hat is the ugliest thing I've seen in this game.

Why no Fire bow?
Why no Ice Axe?
Why no flame like shield?

Please include a costum piece for each melee weapon, and those that fit the theme.

Why no crystals for the chest option? Just the lava bikini.

Now the blazing swords are awesome. The crystal arm is great, same with the shoulders and backpack.
