Leaked new capes in costume creator?

Went to a trainer on my new praetorian today to give it a new costume for the second slot (I have all extra slots from the shop) and wanted to put a cape on it when I noticed something that made me happy. I don't have enough points at this time to buy it but wanted to see how much it was. 2 new capes: CoV DVD Edition, DVD Edition. But when I click the shopping cart icon next to the cape I got an error message in the shop. This shot my hopes straight to hell . It was NOT available in the shop for purchase. Even if I had enough points to buy it I wouldn't have been able to .

Personally I wouldn't call this a leak. A bug definitely.

Back in October or November, can't remember, there was a Tri-Corner hat in the costume creator in the Hats category that had the same error message in the shop. It actually wasn't available for sale. So far to date that hat has yet to be officially release. (Don't really care. That hat was pretty fugly anyway.) It would be nice to purchase those capes, or at least the cape with the Arachnos symbol on it. Been wanting 1 for months. But I won't hold my breath and if they do decide to release it for sale, it probably won't be for many months.

If I remember right, a few months ago, maybe about the time the Tri-Corner hat appeared in the costume creator window, there was a Chain Mail helmet in the Medieval category. It had no art and the character's head appeared normally but bald without hair, and also chain mail gloves with no art too I think. Apparently there is a chain mail costume coming but won't be until issue 23 has been released.

I'm pretty sure those capes have been out since I6, to those who bought the CoV DvD set. I think I have it, in fact. I'm thinking that the Arachnos Chest symbol also came with the set.

However, they may be offering the capes on the PM as well in the future, so that may be what you are seeing.

yes, the capes are a leak. it does indeed appear that they will be in the Paragon Market "soon"... don't know when. This isn't a bug.

As for the chainmail stuff... yeah, that's coming in i23. free to VIPs... freems and preems gonna have to shell points for 'em.

Another "leak"? Looks like the Arachnos logo from the DVD edition cape, albeit, slightly off center. Clicked the shopping cart icon and same paragon market error message. I would say there is a bug: the fact that these are not available for purchase and showing up in the costume creator lists.

P.S. Think I found a resolution for uploading to imageshack where its not incredibly large in the post and you can still see it decently.

I don't know that it's a "leak". It may just be that they're trying to normalize the behavior of all costume items so that they don't have to deal with multiple states:

• Owned and show
• Unowned and hide (for collectors' edition stuff)
• Unowned and show for purchase
