Discussion: Featured Items at the Paragon Market - 2/28/12

Oooohh....if we are going to be getting an option for NON-pretinted costume bits for this set, that moves it from a "meh" to a "gotta have it" for me. I know what I'll be buying when I get home from work tonight!

Sorry if i missed it, but wich powersets can use the sword?

edi: Found it on beta forum - only DB/BS. Lame.

Bought the Imperial Dynasty costume bundle last night. At least one of the items remained locked out after purchase. I'm hoping it was just one of those synch errors Z talked about, because I know if I have to deal with customer service, it doesn't matter what the issue is, they'll insist it has something to do with my video drivers rather than considering it might be a problem on their end

Otherwise, cool looking pieces, but it does seem like an unfinished set... some body areas get a LOT of options in the set, while some seem to come up short. Hopefully those parts are what's coming Soon (TM).

For the record I wasn't blaming anyone. Was just merely making a point that in the process of rushing to release things week after week, some things get missed.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Not at home yet....

...so, is there a new face for the males as well?

I bought it about an hour after it went live, and it was missing the boots and the pants in the costume editor. Also, imperial gloves 3 was locked and not purchasable. It also looked awful. Since the patch, it seems the boots and pants automagically reappeared, and imperial gloves 3 vanished.

I wanted the helmet NAO and I got my wish. I'm looking forward to the I22 launch options added to the set. Perhaps I'll be able to get a great costume for a new Dark Control character that I'll make with the items.

PS. Please have a dragon helmet without the silly ponytail. Bald can be beautiful.

I always took the "ponytail" as an adornment on the helmet (like a horse's tail or the like).

I'm glad for the option of examining the packages through the character creator before I buy, so thanks. Granted, it'll probably mean I buy *less*, but I'll be happier with what I get.

All that said...I'm not buying this package, at least, not as it stands.

Keep in mind, I play no male characters, so I didn't look at any of the male costume parts.

There's one thing which would absolutely have made me bought this package, and that would be the inclusion of a skin top and bottom. The silver pattern is lovely, but I don't like the baggy look. A cutout where that funky diamond is on the chest would have improved the looks immensely, and something more form-fitting would actually look like *armor*.

Although I don't ever do helmets, these were attractive, but too large for female characters, or at least mine.

Also? Not buying any of the belts or the hip guards. Though the pattern is very pretty, and I'm sure it works for male characters, it makes the female character's butt look like one of those trucks with the wide wheel wells. A trimmer belt with more elaboration would be much prettier and not look so horribly bulky. Not even saying eliminate what you've got, because I'm sure there's someone out there who doesn't have the objection to it that I do, but having an additional option that's more streamlined, yet still had the elaborate silver look, would be terrific.

Finally -- and I have no idea where to make this suggestion -- is there any chance that we could have a package that reworked some of the tops/bottoms with skin options and added textures to them, as was done with Angelic Plus and Excess Plus, for example? Most of what we're getting in the female costume packages anymore are dress clothes or semi-armor that's not very feminine or attractive on female characters. When it comes to something my female characters would actually wear out to fight, I'm still stuck with stuff that was introduced years ago.

If you guys texturized some of the skin options, I would be on it in a heartbeat. That would look superhero-ey, and still be attractive.

Thanks much!

I've just got the Imperial Dynasty promotion email alerting me to / reminding me of the pack's release, and the graphic on the bottom is also 20% off of Paragon Points bundles.

So I go to the Paragon Store ready to buy, only to find that there is no such promotion currently active. Whats going on?.

I purchased the Imperial Dynasty Bundle, and was sad to see they were "made in China"

on a serious note, Belts #4 & #5 clip on the back of the thigh on monstrous legged males...

I'd like to say thank you for not making this set time limited. The costume set also looks amazing. Unfortunately, it's way too elaborate to be my style. However, I bought it anyway, as if I'm going to not buy things that I want which are time-limited on principle, I suppose I should go the other way and buy some that I'm not interested in, that aren't time-limited.

I'm glad to see the costume slots on sale, too. My fiancee bought two of them last night. (I personally only have one character with more than 5 costume ideas, so I have little reason to do so)
