Costume Unlocks?

[Archived Post]

Got a couple new costume unlocks on one of my characters, which i sent to another who could actually use them. The unlocks were the lightning bolter and pulson shotgun (i think). Anyway, they have the costume unlock icon showing in the upper corner of the item icon, which as far as i know means that that piece has not yet been unlocked. Anyway, i equiped them on my munitions character but did not get the normal unlock message. Also, the little costume icon remained on the items.

I had a similar issue with the gladiator belt. I've currently got the item, it has the little costume icon, but i can't seem to get it to unlock, yet i know i had it unlocked on the character earlier...

Are costume unlocks bugged?

Quite possibly - the first thing any dev posting here will tell you is to submit a bug report on the item, so beat them to it! ;)

I have had the same problem. After equipping it, log out and log back in. It will be unlocked. (You don't have to keep it equipped, you can equip, unequip, and keep playing, and next time you log in it should be properly unlocked.)

Here's another thread on this issue: http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=99510

I've also added it to my thread (bottom of sig), as issue 24, on the second post. Lucid has stated that she and other Devs are looking at the issues there, so hopefully there will be some movement on this.

I've had the same problem too. I haven't checked to see if it unlocked after I log back in, I'll check it out later. Thanks for the tip!
