The Gran Carnevale costume pack

Because the idea for this costume pack uses various pieces of the Carnival groups (and the Carnival of Shadows uses the carnivals of Venice in its back story), I used the Italian spelling for Grand Carnival (Gran Carnevale). Here's what I'm suggesting:

FEMALE
Carnival of Shadows
-Attendant: doublet, gloves
-Harlequin: corset top and bottom
-Dark Ring Mistress: hair style, stockings (these may be an alternate corset bottom perhaps?)

MALE and HUGE
Carnival of Shadows
-Strongman: gloves, boots, belt, pants (while it would be nice to see the helmets, shoulder guards, and chest chains, I'm not sure how they would be placed in the options since they seem to be one piece? I'm not saying it can't be done, just that they don't seem like easy conversions)

Carnival of Light/War/Vengeance
*See note at end of post


WEAPONS
Carnival of Shadows
-Seneschal: Torch mace customization option
-Harlequin Fencer: Energy sword customization option
-Quantum Attendant: Quantum rifle customization option
-Strongman: Carnival Mallet mace customization option (the same one unlocked by earning the Illusionist Badge but this way doesn't require earning the badge for each War Mace character)



I know some people want the Carnival of Shadows masks (which is really just a face option, not an actual mask) fur collars and sticks the Ring Mistress' wear, and a few other unmentioned pieces, I feel these pieces should perhaps be kept exclusive to the group (though I wouldn't mind having some of them made available either, like the fur collars).

*Most of the other pieces the men wear are already available in the character creator or in the Magic Pack. Since the males of the Carnival groups Light/War/Vengeance wear helmets and and both genders wear shoulder guards that the Legacy Chain wears, it is a matter of deciding if to use these pieces in this pack or a Legacy Chain costume pack (or, perhaps even combining this Carnival costume pack idea with a Legacy Chain costume and calling it Fan Costume Pack 1?) Otherwise, this pack could simply be called the Carnival of Shadows costume pack.

The idea of this pack is that it comes with a few more carnival pieces for females we weren't given as well as carnival stuff for males which I was surprised the Devs didn't give any in the Carnival of Light pack. I also thought giving a few more weapon customization options would be cool too, as I personally like the energy sword the Harlequin Fencers uses.

I'd think the only way to really do it would be to break the Helmet in two. Have the actual Helmet as an option with the other medieval helmets and have the lower part as a separate shoulder detail.

I doubt we will see another Carnival themed pack for some time, until a lot of other themes are covered.

True enough. If they could just put the Harlequin corset top and bottom (with possible Ring Mistress stockings variant) in the character creator, I'd be squealing like I did when I discovered players were given the sash belt. I just keep hoping since they're costume pieces already in the game, they wouldn't be hard to convert for players. Plus, PS would make some decent money from the micro-transaction since there is a lot of carnies fans in the game. (Of course, there are a lot of fans of the other groups too).
