They retired Celestial with the introduction of Mecha...
We still waiting for the announcement, about how and when we will be able to get it again.
Wondering if anyone has asked this in Fridays Q&A, or in any Coffe talk lately?
With the new fix of the tinting of the metallic bits made by Dink, I cant wait to have this amor I missed by a bit of time.

When you shuffle off this mortal coil,
expire,
buy the farm,
kick the bucket,
meet your maker,
perish,
get your ticket punched,
pass on,
pass over,
push up daisies,
sleep with the fishes,
join that Celestial choir. <----(They give you the uniform.)

I think I'm more excited to see what Dink does to fix the coloring issues for this set then when it will be back around for purchase. However it would be nice to have it available again so I can stop answering those "Where did you get that?" Tells which always lead to dissapointment.

I look forward to this being re-released as I only managed to get one of three bits for it.

I don't have my hopes up that it will ever be re-released, when the devs could instead be dedicating their time and resources to make something new, that EVERYONE hasn't bought yet, and release that instead.

Simply put, it would be bad business to not bring it back.

It's doubtful that 'rereleasing' it would take any extra time for the art team (the guys that make all the t9 VIP items... at least the ones made so far), if they simply cycle it back in. It seems that's not what they want to do, though. I think the main problem is they've not really decided how they want to bring it back... whether back as a t9 item, putting it up for sale on the market, or some other means.

I could see them waiting a bit longer, for after Tech Knight is out for a while (and Fire & Ice have been out of circulation for a bit), and then announcing a special weekend/week event where Celestial and Fire & Ice will be brought back at the T9 VIP items for the duration, before going back to Mecha and Tech Knight (or waiting another cycle before doing it). They could even position it right between when sets are cycled, so that before they add Tech Knight, they take down Fire & Ice, and put Celestial in its place for short period of time, then put up Tech Knight (although, again, if they're doing that, I'd figure they'd wait a bit longer before cycling back).


If the Devs keep adding new T9 VIP items, eventually they'll end up with a large collection of unavailable costumes... I can't see them simply sitting on them and doing nothing. They may or may not cycle them back, but I'm sure we'll see them again (hell, they could do what they're doing with Shark Week, and have a little fun event and hand out random codes to players for part/the full set as rewards). Soon, though, doesn't seem likely.

No, it wouldn't take them any extra time - but cycling it back into the tier 9 VIP rewards means they can't use that space for things nobody has bought yet. I doubt it will ever be available by reward token again; the idea of random codes (which are, of course, ridiculously hard to get, but their usual method for giving people "special" things) seems much more likely.

They've said they'll cycle it back in eventually.

Wouldn't telling us we'll get info about a topic 'soon' quality as getting info, for an adequately broad definition? And then, if we're told the information is 'we won't be getting any other info this week', wouldn't that still quality as information?


Also, would the information "Kitsune Knight is being rewarded all Tier 9 VIP items that have been cycled out" qualify? 'Cause I missed Celestial (why was ~Freedom release the time I choose to take a break! Although I like Fire & Ice... not really into the whole Mecha thing, though... Tech Knight looks like another winner, though!).

Nor did he say it was about Celestial armor. For all we know, 'this topic' means 'availability' and he's going to try to set up one of the employees on a date.
