Wait, l've mistaken that piece l mentioned in initial post with Roman Greaves unlockable style. "Roman Sandal" style was made available in i25 update made by Ouroboros team, here (page 25): https://docs.google.com/document/d/11cLJiSYlfueJheOumRywG8Evip2Mjmu_30Y6ePaetqY/edit "More Roman Sandals: Boots" So that means prior to shutdown that style was NOT available for players at all, both Male & Female character. Ouroboros update note doesn't mention, however that style is to be unlocked for Female only, not for Male. But it de-facto it was unlocked for Female bodies only. While it's easy to fix on Private server, it's impossible to fix on Homecoming. l hope next update will fix that, as well as unlock Arena Attendant Headset for all body types, so l could fix my Architect Entertainment enemies, as well as players in general have more options to make toons.

There are pieces, however that actually ARE IN costumes.bin file, but are flagged as NPC-only. No clientside manipulation that can be done doesn't allow you to submit those costumes, because Serverside won't update the costume if the new one is not valid. Unflag them and player characters will be able to access them. That's some easy action that private server runner can perform quite easily.

It seems this mah thread is very revelant like before: Most of NPC-only pieces, however, still remain unavailable for player characters AND Architect Entertainment NPC's. Some of these restrictions might have been placed accidently by mistake of Unbroken Spirit team because they had a hellish lot of work to make i25 update, and just couldn't pay attention to everything. However, on Private Server that problem is very easy to fix, just remove NPC-only flag from costumes. That can't be said about Homecoming game, however, as no player has access to serverside, and with just editing clientside files one couldn't penetrate defense that runs on serverside. Several of them l believe were available for Players when this game was run under NCSoft. For lnstance: Roman Sandal style for males could be bought on Cimerora style vendors back on live AFAIR (for both Male & Female bodies), but right now that style is not available and you can't it use on playable characters and AE enemies alike (available only for Female bodies, but not Male). And that's just one example, l'm sure there are a lot more of them.

Costume Manipulation? What's that?

Actually l thought it's actually gravimetric vibrations, but nvm... Actually there is such style: l was hoping during recent Costume Editor update, when separated pieces for gloves/boots became available there would be also update, that could unlock some NPC piece. But nah, unfortunately homecoming team screwed up functionality of HyperKreator w/out giving aything in exchange. So l stopped playing (now l think l'm going to play only Soloplayer SCORE version, and not much, at least until Homecoming gets next update). Good luck!

Penetrating Ray is the long range (150') power in Beam Rifle powerset, that can be picked by Blasters, Corruptors & Defenders. This Sentinel Disintegrate tooltip is either leftover, or it states that you can fire this power in order to make its effect furthur spread by your Beam Rifle Blaster/Corruptor/Defender teammates.

That's it - in Mah opinion for Tankers/Brutes Resistance-based Sets (such as Rad) > Defense-based Sets (such as Bio). For Scrappers/Stalkers - opposite.

Some of them are heroes, some of them are villains, some of them prefer not to do aything heroic or villainous.

Robotics/Traps Mastermind works the best

Ultimately l would like to get Serverside costume validation switched off entirely. What is got submitted by clientside - that is got printed into the database, without any approvals, but unfortunately that might seem a bit unsafe. Betta roll back all the time optimizations at least (regarding to serverside uploading costume check functions), or else mah Unique costumes are going to become invalid.

Another issue l found on new character Editor, regarding to GEOMETRY+TEXTURE verification is the fact that if there's some RECORD with certain Texture1 or Texture2 in "COSTUMES.BIN" file, and it defined BEFORE a record with certain GEOMETRY, new that combination can be used in new Character Editor. But if some RECORD with certain Texture1 or Texture2 in "COSTUMES.BIN" file is defined AFTER a record with certain GEOMETRY, the new system locks out that combo. It must have been done for sake of some optimization, as it meant to have no point of looping through whole file, and from start to certain Geometry should have been be enough, but it has a crippling effect on my characters. like it was: and became Btw: why make Time Optimization on costume creating/verification system? It's not something that is running all the time, these queries are sent occasionally, and pretty rarely.

Found a Bug in new Costume Editor: For some reason it began to validate string "BodySetName" within Costume File, and that rendered some of my unique costume not submittable to serverside. Example is this costume: These pants have "Pants_Tight" geometry, and that style only can be submitted if that part has a string in it "BodySetName Pants". BUT Texture1 and Texture2 l used for this costume are "!x_fem_hips_tech_sleek_mask" and "!sf_hips_tech_sleek01_dual" respectively, and that requires to have "BodySetName Tight" in that file. This together made this style not submittable w/out using some extremely ugly boots/whatever required... On Live the serverside doesn't validate these values (except for Monstrous BodySetName for some reason), but on Test server it does. What change could made it change its behavior? Possible fix of that is to make new BodySetName - e.g. "BodySetName Everything", when Everything category would contain ALL possible pieces those you could put in that region (upper body/lower body/head). For lnstance all possible tights/pants/skirts and boots those you even can put on your character using whether category. Edit: it seems some of GEOMETRIES began to verify all TEXTUREs those are not meant to be pleced onto them, while other GEOMETRIES don't, have to investigate that more thoroughly.

Awesome, thanks! Btw: is there by any chance, that there will be made extra option checkbox, that would disable clientside validation function while switched on, the function that changes the costume after changing costume piece and/or category, this's what it could do: https://imgur.com/cSvTACC. Note that in that .GIF Pants on the edited character do NOT changed after changing category (because clientside validation function is disabled) from "Pants" to "Tight", which makes possible to put Roman Sandal style after that, as well as Bow Tie shoulder style (w/out switching to Shirts). Or maybe make category for each region "Everything" that would include all possible styles (e.g. for Lower Body all skirts, pants, skins, tights, boots etc).

Incarnate Reactive Radial Interface, l believe, would Explosive Arrow and other AoE's make ignite oil slick almost every time.

Well, your costume inside it has following strings: BoneScale -0.7004 ChestScale -0.8502 Minimum values for Chest/Shoulder/Waist/Hip scales depend on value placed in BoneScale. So if BoneScale is -1, all these mentioned variable's minimal values are -1. If BoneScale = 1, then most of these value's minimals are 0 and so on. For BoneScale = -0.7004, minimum value of ChestScale is equal to -0.8127, while in your costume it's -0.8502. Try to replace ChestScale -0.8502 to ChestScale -0.8127 That's what fixed the problem for Me.

l did some research work in Character Editor, while having NPC pieces enabled (costumes with these, sadly, cannot be uploaded to server because of serverside verifications) to discover which of pieces are NOT a mess and may be added to players approximately safely. Some of them may even be Key pieces for many themes, such as "Talons_Banshee" skirt style, which is the floor-long dress. Submitting all of that here on lnternational Woman's Day, in hopes that they might be enabled to be player-submittable relatively soonTM, so all woman's character might receive even extra level of Customization: ************************************************************ Male: Geometry: Head -> Standard -> Hair -> Caesar Geometry: Head -> Standard -> Ear -> K9 Ear Geometry: Head -> Standard -> Detail 1 -> Arena Attendant Headset* Geometry: Head -> Standard -> Detail 1 -> Villain Revolutionary Geometry: Head -> Standard -> Detail 2 -> Villain Revolutionary Geometry: Head -> Standard -> Detail 2 -> Imperial Defense Geometry: Head -> Hats -> Hat -> Explorer Geometry: Head -> Hats -> Hat -> Bobby Cap Geometry: Head -> Hats -> Hat -> Pirate 0?

l would participate, but... There are soo many Awesome costume pieces, such as Floor-long Dresses are tagged as NPC-only without any reason. That's kinda sad and narrows the field of possible costumes decently...

Sorcery - Magic Willpower - Mutation Experimentation - Science Freerunning (upcoming) - Natural Gadgetry (upcoming) - Technology

It can be used offensively! If you phase out something beyond the range of rDPS in your team it will offend them a lot!

Well, it has few things to deal with AE, but still. When l tried to make Archvillain Beatdown - Past Edition l found that l couldn't make Male characters with Romal Sandals style, while that style is available for Female models. When CoH had complicated costume unlocking system these styles were sold by Vendors in Cimerora, possibly were unlockable Roman Tunic (Unique Chest Category) & Roman Sandal too, but right now Roman Sandal for Male models are tagged as NPC only (Roman Tunic isn't). May make sense to unlock that for player just in case that "NPC-only" tag on Roman Sandal Style (Male) is placed by mistake.

Let alone Lord Recluse, but for some reason e.g. Roman Sandal style is available for FEMALE skeletons only, not for MALE, despite the fact that this style is commonly used for NPC's in Cimerora and Roman Tunic (Unique Tops) is a possible style for Males, whilst Romal Sandal isn't. Does that make any sense for you? For Me that doesn't make sense and l think it's probably done by some mistake. Enabling this on Serverside aforementioned way would fix this issue in a blaze. l was crippled when making Archvillain Beatdown - Past Edition by this inability to use Roman Sandal part for Males. Besides that there are a lot of styles with nonsensical restrictions from both client and serverside, like displayed above Crown for Veil and Talons Dress (down to the floor, there's a model of it present, why don't make it available then? A lot of games have dresses down to the floor, and they're extreamly extreamly beautiful anyway!). Bow Tie shoulder style isn't usable at any chest style, except shirts, and so on. l propose enabling lots of styles those are currently locked for NPC at serverside by setting to 0 its NPC-only flag, as suggested above (this will definitely work for enabling Roman Sandals for Males, Crown Veil, Talons Dress etc; for instance ROMAN SANDAL can be enabled by searching bytes "16 2A 02 00" in current costumes.bin file (need to do that on Serverside's costumes.bin, not just the clientside), and then setting to 0 flag that is placed 32 bytes after that, right now it's 0 for Females 1 for Males, it's exact NPC-only flag). After this also wouldn't be excessive to make some ingame piece of code for cilent that would be linked to checkbox in costume editor and disable clientside verification (like actual HyperKreator hack does), it would make possible e.g. setting up Bow Tie shoulder style for Tights, or Roman Sandal for Pants category as demonstrated in GIF. Hopefully enabling MOAR costume Options is coming someday in future as a huge bulk update, because it would make Costume Contests ALOT, LOT, LOT more funnier, making possible to make new/copy existing player's imagined costume (theme of certain Contest) with even more precision. Not being able to make a Princess ala disnay with Large Dress hurts a lot.

True, l also would like to see in future sone new Stun Enhancement set with its 6-th piece to provide Proc Chance of +2 MAG Stun (so one cast could reach MAG 5 stun and stun a boss this way).

l'd say Resistance-based sets (Radiation Armor, Electric Armor, Dark Armor) are better work for Tankers/Brutes (because of 90% resist cap), while Defense-based (Super Reflexes, Shield Defense, Willpower) etc. better work for Scrappers/Stalkers (especially Stalkers because of their interruptable power). lnvulnerability and Bio-Armor have combination of Defense/Resistance, so may work good for both. Bio-Armor seems to be more upgraded & adaptable because of its form change (defensive/offensive/efficient) and some AoE damage dealing powers. Also better END drain resist. Another matter though how it would match your toon's Theme. For be Theme is everything, and l'd never take any power/powerset that doesn't make sense for any of mah toons.

The history needs to be saved (again)! A temporal anomaly has been detected - it seems some evil forces are going to rewrite history, and have sent their agents back to the past. While eliminating their key targets one-by-one might have produced a resulting butterfly effect, affecting violators themselves - up to making them unable to approach their next targets, they chose another option - they captured and moved their key targets into single spation-temporal coordinate, and then nuke all of them simultaneously - dramatically changing all the history. You hafta prevent that and travel to that coordinate, but be careful - it seems all of the key targets are brainwashed and confused, and are going to resist your attempt to save them! Use non-lethal force if necessary, as most of them are very dangerous! We present you a new piece endgame content - Archvillain Beatdown - Past Edition. In this journey you will encounter following characters: Anubis Aurora Chronos Cleopatra Dracula Hercules Hsssrwwr Mother Nature Nefertiti Prometheus Solomon Thor Zeus And also one very tiny lil' Easter Egg, that's, however, is pretty hard to activate, unless you know how to do it exactly. But be the first Us who discovered that! C'mon! Try it out!!! Arc id is #21066! It's open for enjoyment & lNF farm - use +4 notorierty and Double lnfluence while Exemplared setting!

Re: Btw: Maybe make it resistive not to Cold, but to Energy damage, because thick scales conduct electricity pretty badly. While Cold damage may become weakness for every single of them (maybe make all dinos have innate -20% resistance to cold damage, similar to how Force Field Generator is vulnerable to Energy damage).
