On the other hand, if it's persisted for so long, clearly it's a widely-desired costume piece, so I'm in full agreement with you on that one. Let there be sash!
Considering it's one costume piece and shouldn't be THAT complicated, I believe an addition is in order.Quote:

I really don't see why men cannot have some version of a sash, since men have been wearing 'em for thousands of years. Its a pretty neutral thing, its not like people asking to let men wear RHPS-esque corsets or something like that.
But otherwise, get well soon Zyphoid. Losing your vocal cords is no walk in the park, but the goal to keep in mind is saving your life. Which I know you know, just trying to make you feel a little better or something. Yikes.

In fact, nuts to the Carnival of Light belt; we need the actual Kheldian sash, which should have been available since Kheldians were introduced. It already works on Male and Female models, though I'm sure "time and resources" are an issue, even though they're "aware of the request."

Aw, jeez. I'm really sorry to hear about your health problems.
And I echo your want for a dude-sash, because my boy khelds need to be 'official' too.
That and it looks wicked cool.

On topic; yeah, I'd like for Kheldians (and everyone, actually) to have access to a sash of some kind.
And, while we're on the Kheld topic, can we not get the PB/WS eye auras from the powers as an all the time aura? Sunstorm and the others have them, so....why can't we? It looks a little weird to have a totally different eye aura all the time on my Nictus.

I personally don't like the eye aura for Warshades...I hate the beady eyes and would rather switch them out for the PB version.
Sorry to hear the bad news man.

I want the sash for a male ninja/pirate hybrid! Please Paragon studios pretty please?

The Carnival of Shadows use the same exact sash as the Kheldians and PPD Khelds. The new Carnival of Light sash looks the exact same, only is higher definition, since it was actually designed for players and not a few NPCs.|

The Kheldian Sash is not unique from the Carnie sash. It is not special. It's just a sash.
And yes, I would also like to see a proper sash available to males. Would look great for martial artists.
As I said in the other thread, I want that sash very, very badly for my two PPD-affiliated male Peacebringers... Their Awakened costumes (which are approximations anyway, due to the patterns used in the originals-) will never look "right" without them, and that makes me a little sad.
It's not a terribly complex piece from the look of it, so I guess I just don't understand why it's never been done in spite of players pretty much begging the devs for it for so many years. Is there someone in the art department who's just dead-set against it for some reason? Who doesn't think PC Kheldian characters "deserve" it, somehow?
I don't know. It just seems strange that after so long our guys still can't have the thing... Not even after a character-friendly version was obviously added to the game.

That chick what plays the bird-things...
I've long desired a sash (for males and usable with robes!) for various martial artist concepts. I don't recall what my namesake is wearing, but it isn't what I really wanted but rather what I had to settle for.

Aw heck, I'll sign for this worthy cause.
First off, since this request has persisted for so long, it should absolutely be done (I mean, it's just a sash belt, not a Moon Zone or a Big Red Ball or a Pony!). 
They've proven they can make a player-usable sash via the Carnival Of Light pack and it is just rather clumsy that no one noticed the obvious disappointment releasing it for female-only would create.
That being said... I feel pretty optimistic about the chances of the art team making the time to port that piece over for males. Maybe just because it seems like something that should happen, and -for the amount of work- it would provide a rather positive boost among the community that desires the belt (and their brethren who're sick of seeing them ask for it... I mean... Want to see them happy!).
So, while I actually don't have a use for the sash right now, that I can think of, I feel rather strongly that it'd be a great addition for the costume creator! And I'm pretty sure I'd find some uses for it... Maybe it'd get me to finally make my PB!!
Two other things...
I must have missed further replies in that other thread, but I'd imagine it was likely closed because the topic had actually reached a conclusion. David was looking to discuss the topic in order for the team to come up with a policy that seemed good... and that was done. It being a subject that easily and often veers off course, I was surprised to see it still around, honestly.
Anyway, no harm in closing it. This topic really deserves its own thread and I'm glad to see you started it.
Lastly, I'm really sorry to hear about the health issues. Keep strong, seek the best doctors and opinions (seriously), do whatever it takes and fight through it with a positive attitude. No matter how bad it ever gets, odds can be overcome.
Best of luck and keep us informed.

I'm all for the carnie sash being ported.
Aaaand, while we're on the topic of costume pieces from the carnie pack that should be ported to males, I just want to throw the Carnie masks in there as well. My guys have wanted proper masks since, well, before I saw my first Carnie!
So. Here's hoping for a lunch-drought at Paragon Studios so Dink will have more spare time to work on this!

sashes definitely would be nice, and has been asked for for a long time. That said, I have faith it will happen, they found space in the production schedule for porting the jackets to women, sashes, as well as masks, mask details and night widow waist capes would be next on her list.
one thing, is the hang down absolutely needed? because the cot belt is pretty close to a sash, just without the loose cloth at the end.

The loose cloth is fairly essential to me. I don't really care how "loose" it actually is, mind, as long as it's tied to the side with two decent hangy bits. |

I'd think so as the Sashes you see on the NPC kheldians all have the little hanging bit if I remember correctly (and indeed are basically the carnival sash in a single colour).|

I don't particularly want a sash.
That said, I also don't not want one, and since it's been requested over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over on a near-constant basis for the last seven years or so, I don't understand why we still don't have one. Seriously, devs, what gives? The people obviously want a sash, and it's so simple there's no good reason at all not to cough it up already. I promise it'll sell better than a Pilgrim hat or fireman's helmet, at any rate.

Too many 50's to list here's a few you may know.
Slazenger, Area51, Area53, Area54, Erruption, Mind Plague, Thresher, Sheath, Broadside, Debt
Just to add that I would be prepared to pay the +40 point for a male+huge version of the sash, surely that would be worth the porting time? You already have the texture and mesh, and a male scaled version of the mesh.
Plox, pretty plox?
Yeah I don't get why this costume piece hasn't been done already.
I also don't get how no one could see that porting it only to females when it's been asked for, for years, would be not well received.
