145819-why-is-it-not-a-costume

== Content ==
			In the Halloween event when you are in Quiet Downs you are given a cultist robe when either infiltrate the ritual or setting it up. That robe looks really good, I might even dare to say better then the Jack Shade costume, and me and some of the people I have been doing the event with are wondering since its in the game and been fitted to all classes why we cant get it as a costume.	
----
			Fairly certain most of them exist ingame already.	
----
			It is pretty interesting.  I'd be pretty interested if something out there looked like the mask or chestpiece. 	
----
			
Isn't this helmet piece the same model?  	
----
			that mask is the same(aside from not being able to dye that gold part - the one in the halloween instance had a different color there iirc), but none of the other pieces are obtainable. They really should have made it an available costume for the holiday, i cant think of a reason why they didn't. Hopefully next year :/

It should be a costume to buy for shade silver.
If i have one major complaint about the event, it is that there is not nearly enough stuff and fluff at the event vendor.
I had everything i liked in two evenings.
 
What about costume pieces that give your character fancy visual effects like orbs floating or glow around my character? Is it possibly a problem with particle effects and performance that leads Carbine to avoid such things?
 
 
The game needs MOAR FLUFF all around!!!

I completely agree that Carbine missed an opportunity to sell some stuff. They could have put a Shade Silver price for them, with an optional buy for omnibits or real money. 
 
But you also need to remember that they just launched F2P, so they're probably scrambling to catch up on important issues like....oh, I don't know...the LAG. Granted, the art guys maybe don't have a lot of influence on that, but honestly, I'm surprised they were able finish off the F2P launch with the Halloween event AND the Governor's event all at once.
 
I think maybe people are just trying way too hard to find anything to nitpick Carbine with. Given their small team and the drop in customers before F2P, they're doing pretty well.

It does exist it's just not an official costume.
 
The head piece is already listed above (it's a light armor helm drop from mobs in level 50 zones)
 
The chest is a re-color of the spellslinger S1 pvp gear
 
not sure about the pants but I know you can get all pieces in game

The disguise outfit is entirely obtainable in-game.
 
Now talking about outfits from Shade's Eve that we should have been able to get...
 
 
 
 
 
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I waaaaaaaant D: D: D: D:	
----
			
Yeah, there are a lot of NPCs wearing pieces that I'd like to have for costumes. 
 
Hopefully in the following months Carbine will continue to roll out more nice things in the F2P store.

Well the head piece has already been mentioned.
As for for the rest, the chestpiece is a reskinned version of one of the spellslinger raid gear pieces.
The leg, hand and foot pieces are all from the Refugee costume which can be found in discoveries in Algoroc, Celestion, Deradune and Ellevar, or bought from AH.
 
Oh and by the way, the hat in the last screenshot that Naunet posted will, with different dye channels, be added as part of the Preposterous costume, it just didn't make it to this drop in time.

The first two hats in Naunet's post are literally reskins of hats that are already in game, so I don't know why they didn't include them (though I guess 'they are just reskins' might qualify?). As for the mask and the GOOD large tophat...I'm not sure. Probably art concerns of some sort. But if anyone has seen how headwear looks on Mechari, you know Carbine's art team doesn't really care for hats looking stupid on some races. So it has to be something else.
 
My bet? Saving them for next year!
