You can't use the carnival masks together with the new female imperial dynasty hat!

Come on, you have to be able to do that, it would be the coolest look ever!

Also, you can't use the masks with the Jester ruff, either, which makes me :-(

And you can't use the Carnival sash with anything but the skintightiest of bottoms. No skirts, no pants, it is unconscionable.

Um, I'm using the sash with the pleated miniskirt, looks nice. Though I'd prefer the drape to be a little further out to accommodate the Valkyrie/Roman skirts.

But on-topic: Yes, detail2 is the _wrong_ place for those masks, detail2 is for lower jaw and neck covering items and there is no reason for those masks to be kept out of the hats category.

IMHO I'd prefer: Masks in detail1 and the current carnie detail1 items moved to ears (Along with other detail1 ear covers, like the winter earmuffs) I admit that my suggestion isn't ideal but I believe its much better than the current arrangement.

What I'd like to know is why do half helmets get an extra item slot? "Helmet Detail 1" replaces "Ears" but where did the slot for "Helmet detail 2" come from? and why can't we re-use this slot in the other head types? If we could reuse this slot we could have a dedicated "Detail 3" that covers the forehead and thereabouts details (like the carnie asymmetric-spike-thing).

That said, if I had my way I'd have all the face details in all of the categories, that is (IMHO) a much better plan, clipping be damned

But you can with hoods, with counters with it's own :-)

(but agreed, more versatility would be preferred)

edit: OOps, guess it was the long skirt? or the bolero? or maybe the witch hat? whatever, I can live with being wrong all the time.

Even for me, that wasn't a fix. You work for Fox News? In any case, the only reason to have a male character with a sash is if'n you wear a tux with it, SOOO... we still need pants to work with the sash.

While we're at it, I can't wear the shiny Pocket D dress underneath a jacket. Not cool.

If they were lumped under hats then wouldn't you be locked into whatever hairstyle they figured would go with the mask? Also between the hair and the mask itself you'd only get two color options.

Except that some of us prefer to use them with hair...

I don't know about anyone else, but for me putting those masks under Hats would make them absolutely useless.

I think what was meant is you can't wear a mask and hat at the same time.


Probably due to ugly clipping issues.


Really though... I'm actually pleased as all get out to have the masks and sash, though I do sincerely wish they would be ported to males. I like the placement. I feared the masks would be placed under the facemask detail. While it could go there quite well it would take away from using some of the maps there, so no glowing Organic Armor eyes underneath.

And putting the Detail 1 pieces under ears would force my non-humans to lose their ears? No thank you.

I'm happy to get them where before we couldn't even use them. Now, about those new Banished Pantheon skirts...

He/She means they should ALSO be under hats, not ONLY be under hats.

I'm glad to see people having similar thoughts!

Oooh, that Imperial Dynasty hat would look so awesome on a carnie character, it drives me nuts.

Honestly the masks should be available in both Detail 1 and Detail 2 categories.

That would allow players to chose if they wanted to use the masks with the upper head details -horns, headspikes, the carnie crown-ish details- or with lower head details -Jester ruffle, umm... the lace collar from the steampunk pack? (Not too familiar with detail 2 for women since I very rarely play them)- and open up a lot more customization options.


(Edit: Likewise I think all of the "Horn" details should be added to the Ears category (for everyone). Some of the ear details already connect in similar manners to the horns, and having the horns duplicated in a second category would allow people to pair eye details like Sunglasses with them.

uh-huh, say have you ever met Sunstorm...

...or any members of the PPD Awakened Division?


Now, what do they have in common?
Take your time...













Exactly, they are all male and have a sash!
Oh, and none of them is wearing a tuxedo.

But don´t feel too bad. you've only been around since 2004 and could in no way know about us wanting a sash option for our Kheldians


P.s.

note: male; not wearing a tuxedo

Being unable to wear the new Pocket D shiny dress under a trenchcoat or magic bolero has been a real limit to me, as far as the usefulness of that costume set. I really wish some of the limitations on which things can be used in which categories weren't so..arbitrary sometimes.

Actually, looking carefully at the sash there on Sunstorm and the Khelds... that's not the same sash as in the Carnie pack. Very, very similar... except, y'know, crappier. They're going to have to build a new one for the players.
