Quick someone give Paladin a hug, he/she is having some sort of allergic reaction to a meme.
Chalk up another Gunslinger Pack sale now. I really wanted the Wild West Stripper set but didn't buy the pack out of support for the folks that pointed out the unfairness of it as it was. Now I can buy it with a happy heart. Nice one

I am mostly pleased by this news.

With one nagging question. Why not port the Renegade hat to females, too?

But if I'm out of line, I do apologize. I just thought Mr. Thirty Seven's comment deserved something more reassuring.

Unfortunately we were not able to port over the Gunslinger shirt to female due to various clipping issues. These updates can be expected with the upcoming launch of Issue 22! I hope you all enjoy the pieces we had time to port over! |
HAPPY DANCE TIME!!

Er, thanks so much, Dink! Awesomeness!

Most amusing complement I've ever been paid on an outfit, from @Ukase regarding my Blue Eyed She-Devil Anson Maddocs "Fallen Angel" homage:
"She gives my ex-wife a run for the money."

D-...Dink.
I think I love you.

But saying any more would be revealing a magician's trick. Z's no idiot, though, and sometimes what he does makes more sense if you assume he isn't.

Our practices, discussed at great length and worked out with the Community, are: Unique pieces for females and everything else equally ported between the body types. Yes, this ends up resulting in more pieces for females overall, however after the last 12 months of reading feedback and lengthy discussion with the Community we made this decision. |

It's very unlikely we'll alter course on this in the immediate future.
There is a point where the inability to refrain from negative comment is inappropriate. I'm the last person to stifle one's right to be critical (it is the internet after all), but sometimes we should take a step back and ask ourselves if this is really the time and place to make such comments.
No apologies are needed Paladin, and I do understand what they were saying. It's a viewpoint we took under strong advisement when we made our decision.

Really wish people would keep their personal vendettas with other players to PMs and assorted dumb comments/questions just to themselves.

I've got to say, the changes made to costumes being ported over to female characters are making this player very happy!
So... any chance on porting the Elemental Defense faceplate over to hoods and half-helmets instead of only having the option with helmets? Pretty please????
pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^
Arachnos Commander:
This is AMAZING.

This is good and unexpected news.
Dare I hope we'll see fewer complaints about costumes in the future? No, I dare not.

That answers any questions I might have had on the subject. Thank you for the clear explanation of where you're headed; I don't particularly like it, but the feedback from the last year grossly outweighs what one person might think on the subject. I hope the next year is such a success that you can move towards creating distinct outfits for each gender, but I appreciate the man hours and limited payoff that involves.|

This is really great news and something I didn't expected to happen, especially for free.
Since some of the male magic pack pieces are being given to females, I was wondering if it'd be possible, even if it happens sometime after this current update, to give females access to the Occult detail for High Collar and Capes.
Dink you are the best. Best username especially. Can't stop giggling.

Wow, Dink!
That is awesome news.
Thank you so much for taking those request seriously and port some one the male costume pieces to females.
Now, if you guys working on character costume pieces got a bit of extra time, would love to have the male bracers and belt from Barbarian ported to females too... No hurry, just when you find the time.
Old bracers for female are... old and doesnt come with tight options.

This is awesome. I hope there's more porting done in the future.
