Typo on Puncture's power grant; Fixed in an upcoming build.

Thanks!

Very excited for the Malta additions!  I know some other players in my SG are very pleased to have more large robot costumes.  Thanks!

Violet Block mode (regular and mini) are coming up white both in game and in the tailor interface.

 

 

Perhaps this is intended but for Undefined Mode (regular and mini), the preview in the tailor interface does not match the in-game result where elements of my original costume are still present.

Will look into this.

Update: Will be fixed in the next build.

Just going to keep asking for NPC civilian models as Aether shop costumes.
Why?

• Almost all my characters that are human-like end up with civilian outfits, especially those with 'secret identities.' Yet the costume creator has very few truly civilian-looking options,  and even using them you'll end up with superhero proportions. I don't think I'm alone in wanting a true zero to hero transformation, or true civilian alternate identity look.
• On the other end, for monstrous, alien, and obvious villain in Paragon/Heroes in the Rogue isles having a truly mundane disguise would be awesome to avoid alarm when traveling about.
• Finally, having a truly drab look for some of the crazier powers would be super fun and hilarious. I'd love to sport the pot-gut civilian look while doing martial art flipkicks, or an old lady calling down storm and fire. (Get off my lawn!)

Not sure how I've never come across this suggestion before; It's fantastic. O:

I'll look into that for next wave's costumes!
