Clave Dark 5 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 So on a whim I hopped on my old MM Maid Of Metal, and whilst running about thought to myself she needs a new costume with the Sybil dress. So I go to do that and noticed that every costume slot was locked (little padlock in the upper left-hand corner) off with that message about This costume contains some [something something 'no longer supported choices' or whatever] and will change if you open it. Do you want to proceed anyway? Can anyone spot which part is no longer supported in its place? Did the cyber arm option get moved or something maybe? Did something here actually get removed for good? 3 Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

Monty Haull Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 My understanding is, that if they change the name of a costume piece, you will get this. I find going to a tailor it should highlight the piece. Help control the Rikti population. Have your Rikti Monkey spayed or neutered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 I wish it did. I suppose I could save the costume, then try and load it onto a new toon, and see what goes away; sadly my time for playing tonight is over. I was sort of hoping maybe someone here might know, or a helpful Dev might happen by (hint hint)...

KC4800 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 This happened to my old Merc MM as well, I assume now, because of the rifle? Was the name of a rifle changed or a new rifle added, what gives?

Bingo, That's it, thank you. I think they added a few new ones this time, which might have somehow messed up the order?

Dungeoness Eloora Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I just want to add this detail related to the Sybil pieces specifically, in case anyone else was as confused as I was about how why it might not be showing up as an option in the costume designer. You can't use a back slot item and the Sybil chest at the same time, have to pick one or the other. A friendly player passed along that info to me so I wanted to pay it forward. 3 @dungeoness and @eloora on Excelsior <Federation of United Cosmic Knights> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish they could have flagged the celestial pieces that float behind your head as allowable. They would go great with the Sybil outfit.

I'd guess the shouldery-cape thingies take up that back attachment point, so nothing else can be fit on there.

They would go great with the Sybil outfit. Me too. I was using the glowy light wings before, which don't even interact with the player's physical back in a visible way, but as CD5 mentioned, there are baked-in limitations to displaying costume parts. Maybe one day the devs will tinker with it to allow more part stacking. @dungeoness and @eloora on Excelsior <Federation of United Cosmic Knights> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to have access to the old Titan Icon client, and bizarrely enough, the Sybil dress is listed as a chest detail. Unlike on HC, the dress actually works not only with back parts, but with non-Sybil belts as well. Really, the only problem is the necessity of using the linked colors option to color the front of the dress. Then again, HC itself has a weird loophole in the attachment point system because it lets one use the waistcape version of the Tech Knight belt alongside a back option, or even an actual cape... provided you're not using a chest option from the Armored category, which I always found weird.

Sybil + wings looks amazing. Same without that giant belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungeoness Eloora Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 That belt is the bane of that costume. It is too big and unrealistic to even be able to wear and move freely in, assuming it's made of metal. I wish there was just a thin, braided cloth cord attaching the front skirt to the back. @dungeoness and @eloora on Excelsior <Federation of United Cosmic Knights> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
