Yes the old live dev that made the Paragon Protector pattern should walk around with their head held high.

Can you post pics of the new patterns, or is that forbidden?

I've only tested this on the Huge body type so far, but I was not able to see the Snake cape collar options. I have the Mongoose badge, and the Snake capes are all there. (They look fantastic!) No Snake cape collars, though.

 

I was not able to reproduce this, are you able to provide a screenshot?

[Lockely]

The new Clockwork glove option is really nice, are there plans to work it (and the rusted textures) into the Clockwork Arms under the Robotic Arms sets?

Sure thing. This is specifically for the High Collar section. I can see the Snake mantles just fine.

Okay, these are only available with regular mantles.

Bars

Pros: I like how you can match the third generated color to the appropriate shade of a mask-piece. Nice trick for a 3 color costume.

Cons: Not enough coverage. The bars are cool, but there's too few of them, especially on the torso piece. It feels disjointed. It's really lacking on the male and huge torsos. Needs more going on with the arms or shoulders.

 

Technopath

Pros: Well balanced, good coverage, neat 3 color trick.

Cons: Wish there was more going on with the shoulders or neck.

"Male, Huge:

• Lower Body > Boots (All) > "Victorian Steampunk (Legacy)" was added to restore previous tinting appearance."

 

Is it possible to have a non-reflective matte style color version? The reason being, before it was that style version. Also, for sake and purposes, it really matched other Spectrum costume parts of being quite dark and non-reflective.

[Purrfekshawn]

Also if possible please unlock "Roman Sandal" style for Male and Huge models too, not just for Female models, just do not give these to the Rikti Drones!

Thank you for the feedback, I will consider it for any future patterns. Keep in mind some areas of the body are tricky to get right because of the way the texture is mapped to the model. So you may see a common theme were some areas of the body are avoided to reduce the complexity.

Can you elaborate more? Nothing was changed or taken away with this note. Something was added.

It might be a good idea to move Sybil Tight and Sybil with Skin from the main list and into "Unique Tops."
So that...
A. The main list doesn't get needlessly long
B. It gives Toga a friend so it's not alone (they share a similar theme too!)

I think they have to be their own thing due to the forced sybil belt. I'm not totally sure why the Tight and With Skin versions are separate when they aren't for jackets and such, but maybe there's a technical reason there too.

But I would really like to see added is a O-6 (Bird) (Navy Captain, Colonel in all other services) .  Color changes can be used to differ 0-1/O-2 (Ensign/1st LT Navy and whatever the other services call them 🙂) as well as O-4/O-5 LCDR/CDR (Navy), MAJ/LTC (All others).  But that is just nit picking.

 

Yes, the berets are really great! Nice job with them! I also would like to see the full bird colonel (aka Navy captain) rank emblem.

I don't know if you have the old file, but what is different now compared to before the first fix was just the difference in the reflective nature of the material. A matte very black non-reflective surface.

 

Here I have attached the current old boots before the first fix.

first fix

 

You'll have to remind me what this was. Are you referring to something that happened pre-2012? According to our repository, the file that controls this hasn't been modified since Homecoming's inception.

 

As I recall, someone asked for a version that could have the middle stripe tint more strongly last summer, which is what was added this patch.

 

The modification history only shows a duplicate of the original boot settings as it was when Homecoming came about, and adds a new tint texture.

 

Comparing the two, there is no difference in shininess:

Thank you so much for adding the Sybil set!  I've been wanting to get access to those costume parts since Cimerora dropped, and was so bummed when I discovered they weren't one of the unlockable Cimeroran parts.  Cheers! ☺️🍻

[CalmRenao]

It is possible to add the sybil chestpiece without the gargantuan belt detail? The Banished Pantheon can get away with it—why shouldn't we?

The Patch Notes should probably be clarified that this is a "Mantle" design and not a "Collar" design (probably not on you, but since Collars are already a type of piece that existed, it'd probably reduce confusion...this stumped me at first too).

 

Also, speaking of the notes, they mention a "Plague Doctor" option for Detail 2 for Male and Female skeletons as well.  I'm not sure if this is supposed to be supplementary to the piece that's already in Detail 1, or just the same piece and two different ways to place it, but I'm not seeing an option under that category for that piece.

That would be this hood, currently only available with hats.

Ah, that makes sense!  I guess kinda similar to the Mantle/Collar thing, if it's only supposed to be used with hats, maybe it's just the Patch Notes should be clarified (like it specifies for the stuff that's added to Half Helmets category, etc).  Though yeah, it'd be nice if other Head categories got it too.

I was the one who asked for the tint change. I still appreciate the change a lot because it is much better to have actual true black 🙂

 

The original was during homecoming before the suggested fix.

 

I will attach two photos of the original before the suggested 1st fix, and current beta fix. Unfortunately, the game does not allow proper zoom levels below the waist. I hope the imagery provides clarity. Also, I have the old costume saved with the old boots before the 1st fix. So when I am comparing the old and currents parts, it is through the "Attempt costume fix" options when choosing the costume.

 

Old, before 1st attempted fix. The texture is of a matte nature, no reflections.

 

New, Current beta fix

I'll second that request for Wings with the outfit.

 

(And I'll give another minor poke about *returning* our ability to use wings with the Bolero coat and the tux tails coat. Which we could back in the Live days... The Bolero only for a short time, granted, but still. We were able to use the tails tux and wings together for YEARS before the old devs stealth-killed that combination late in the game's life.)
