CoL costume pieces live in the market and guess what...
Only thing is, I wanted those masks for my male and huge toons for years. Not to speak of a sash for my WS.
The five bucks saved donĀ“t really make up for me still not getting them. |

I'm still waiting for the white mask that one could hopefully put on a few of the face details (like Makeup, Dark Eyes, Goth Eyes, Small Mask 1-5, X Eyes...ect).
That kinda why I didn't mention them in the previous post, but did mention the sash.

But I don't really see it as the pack neglects a large majority of the player base (and I do think male avatars should get a sash option btw and do wish they had maybe put in the OT to get that one piece ported over with the set) but rather, for those complaining, the pack neglects those who decide to neglect half the options of the character creator. Namely the ability to make female and male characters. |
If they had added a sash, that would have been enough for me. How they can continue to neglect a costume item that has been requested since Kheldians were released is so beyond me. Frankly, I think it is stupid.
As for fighting in tights, take a look at the K1, or old UFC matches where guys do fight in tights, or for that mater any High School wrestling match. Think a singlet is not tights?

I don't make female characters because I just can't get immersion when I play them. As a male, I just can't move myself into the female mindset.

I don't have a problem with it. The Gunslinger set had things for males only that I would love to have for females, like the chaps...the Barbarian bundle had bracers that were not for females. It seems that things balance out in the long run. If you don't want the things, don't get them. I say keep bringing them on so we can have tons of choices.

Thats why they have to focus on giving same costume pieces adapted for both male and female.
I want Gunslinger chaps and Barbarian bracers for females.
I want sashes and Steampunk clock belt for males.
If we only have the same kind of belt for example, for both body types people can give feedback but is the same piece at the end.
Giving us different pieces is nice, but at the end is always the same:
WE WANT IT ALL!!
You know what, I've wanted those masks forever too, you know what, I'm still waiting.

Is good to choose different eyes but it could be just different faces, like Praetorian clockwork faces.
The only thing we see under the mask is the eyes.
We could still use some other detail 2 pieces along with the mask if they were just some faces. Skin tone, 1 colour and details pre-tinted in a bright or dark version of the colour choosed.
Pity we can have the classic CoS masks, with the tear, lips and eyes painted.

Personally, I don't get the "I'm not one so I can't RP one" mindset. You're not a alien/superhero/elf/whatever, either.

*Shrug* In my experience, the guys who actively try to "move into the female mindset" are the ones who do the worst at it. Contrary to popular male belief, women aren't aliens from another planet.

Now seriously, it is what it is. I am not comfortable RPing a female. We each have our own hang ups.

Man, you telling about future or upcoming sets.
Lets see how feedback goes for them... But you said they did changes to previus costume sets and that is false. Still waiting for the devs to make some changes to the pre-tinted costumes of Steampunk, or some variations of the Gunslinger based on feedback threads before those packs went live. Thats why I say I dont understand feedback threads if they not modify or add options... Not before or after release. |
The following is a quick 2 minute search through feedback threads where there was a lot of feedback to make the halos tintable. Guess what they did?
With the new patch, the halos are now tintable. ![]() |

I'm just wondering how many years of asking it took to get that, when did the Halo's first pop up?

I'm just disappointed by the lockout of the CoL Sash from being combined with Jackets. The Costume Devs should let me decide for myself if the Sash will clip through the Mini-vest Jacket or not (and I'm pretty damn sure it won't!) ... or the Biker Jacket (again, pretty sure it wouldn't). Pretty much the only way to get the Sash is to wear Tights or Tights w/Skin, which is rather limiting ...

First versions of them were tintable, then stuck in nice and naugthy for years now tintable again.
There were always meant to be tintable.
I hope there are more tweeks coming in the future, because most of the latest packs were rushed badly.
I will think better to buy costume pieces from now on, if they keep this policy of rushed releases.
LIES!!! The Book clearly says that I am from Mars, and my wife is from Venus!

Haven't been following the forums lately, especially not the Beta forums, which tend to be "have a look at this thing we're pushing live regardless of your feedback."
So hearing about the CoL sashes was a pleasant surprise. Didn't care about the rest of the set, just wanted that piece, for my male PB.
'Cept now I find out, he can't wear that piece.
Oh well. Guess I won't be spending any of my stipend this month.

Governments have fallen to the power of social media. Gaming companies can too.
yeah, if they would allow the sash to be worn with jackets, it would be a much more useful piece.

Looking at my own roster, I have a lot of female characters, but I don't necessarily want to be a woman. I make a lot of robots, but I wouldn't necessarily want to be a robot. Maybe just some cybernetics, that I wouldn't refuse. I make a lot of monsters and aliens and I definitely wouldn't want to be a monster, even a cute one. I wouldn't mind knowing one, though, especially a cute one. I make a lot of villains, too, and I don't necessarily want to be evil. Not THAT evil, anyway. And I certainly wouldn't want to know evil people.

I now bang my head on my desk over a point either communicated poorly, or a point missed. Like I said, we all have our hangups.
Besides all of that, I prefer to play male toons, for what ever reason. I dislike this pack because it ignored male and huge models. I also would have liked to have the sash with robes because there is NOT a good Kung Fu sash in the game, but I would have wanted it on the huge and male model also.
Either way, the most I can do is not buy this one, and hope that nothing like this is done again. I really don't even want any all male sets. I would really like a fair and even break down of parts for all models.

It did not take months. It might, in particularly bad cases, take weeks, but not months. And I'm just one amateur, not a team of professionals.

Come back and say that it doesn't make months once you've worked under such demands.

They did say there was technical reasons for it however, and I don't see why they'd lie.
What was it, pieces were made for the female model, and the Kheldian ones we see are likely made specifically for those Kheldians that have them.

This pack sucks because it neglects a large portion of the player base. Just like the gunslinger pack sucked because it ignored the female player's desire for more gunslingerish clothing. My annoyance springs from the fact that the desire for equality is a lie, because no one seems to care if it is equal towards males. Granted, that may just be my perception of things.
If the pack was centered around Male characters and complained it didn't have any female options, I'd have said "Roll a male character."
I do think some parts could of been more universal mind you. Females get access to the arm bands from the barbarian bundle set, and I don't see why the males didn't get them. The costume item just seems like one of those pieces that could be universal, and I think would of seen enough use to make it worthwhile to have made a male version. The same with the chest details the males got in that bundle.
I also don't see why some top details the females have access to, werent made available to males. Hacker for instance! No idea why they don't give that as an option for males as a design for their tights.
But I do think they should keep to the idea of what will sell, what will possibly see some real use and therefore not be a waste of their time and money.
Sadly, I think a lot of that means, more people are likely to use male pieces on females and less female pieces on males.
As "enlightened" as the majority of the CoH forums may be, I'd say the majority of player base isn't to this point yet.
Mind you, while I see plenty of tight wearing males in CoH, I see plenty of "What no! Guys don't wear tights!" comments, not to mention plenty of "That's not realistic!"
The last one gets me a bit more confused, when you'll see people say "It's not realistic to fight in tights!" but then go and request dresses for men. Sooo...fighting in tights isn't realistic enough in a superhero game, but fighting in a dress is?
I'm all for more options for both sides. I'm for a bit of variation in pieces out there (love that new belt with cape action that females have access to, but I wish it had a version without the stripes on it, so I could feel like I could use it with any other color and not just black to hide the stripes).
But I don't really see it as the pack neglects a large majority of the player base (and I do think male avatars should get a sash option btw and do wish they had maybe put in the OT to get that one piece ported over with the set) but rather, for those complaining, the pack neglects those who decide to neglect half the options of the character creator.
