Much of it is probably already implemented, and as you saw is already in the ui and the database. They don't release it all at once though because then each item wouldn't get the same amount of attention. And by releasing a preview it makes you want that particular item all the more, and check the store more, and perhaps even post threads about how much you want it, so when they release it they sell more. See what they did there?

Remember when the Nex store first debuted? They're still unreleased. That's over two years ago.

And you think being angry about it and creating a non-constructive thread changes anything?

What's the point of this thread?

It changes nothing.

Prepare to see ~50 more items unavailable in 2 days. Dear devs like unfinished content.

I left EvE because I didn't have enough clothes to play space barbie. Why can't I decorate my ships with my little pony logos?

Didn't they pretty much scrap the NEX store after the monocle shitstorm? or was it something else? I am still waiting to purchase a monocle at low price but alas it seems impossible right now.

Eveybody raged at them. -pÇïCCP removed them.

Now, everybody wants them. Get them now while you still can before they cost an arm and a Fedo.

Some of the clothing is rare and/or currently unavailable. Apparently this is a deliberate decision.

Example; left-eye monocles.

Asking for all possible clothing to be made available is like asking for CCP to start selling Guardian Vexors for AUR.

There really isn't. There's maybe 1 or 2 unavailable items. Everything else is just colour variations, and the fact that they're treated as different items that clog up the market browser just further highlights how utterly idiotic and incompetent every last detail about the Incarna and NEX/NES implementation was.

And how else would you treat an item that has a different 2k and 4k texture in the database?

Where are the stockings we were told will be released?

Where are the stockings we were told will be released?

By adding two 32-bit fields that represent primary and secondary shader colour (or hell, three or four fields if you want to be really extravagant) and then do it properly rather than bake it into the texture.

Using a shader to replace a texture color is not doing it "properly". Hand-painted textures have been common in the game development industry for quite a while for a good reason, shaders that simply replace colors for variety inevitably look procedural and similar to each other. Creating a new texture also gives the texture artist the ability to make edits that any new color scheme might need, such as seam, logo, or border color modifications. Not to mention that even if they did implement the new shader they would still need to create a new item in the database to reference the new shader, or the new integers at the very least. And how would a player choose to buy the item in each particular scheme if there was only one item on the market? You're quick to criticize, but it doesn't seem like you've thought it through very well.

It is doing it properly when the only difference is the coloration (and that's what we're talking about here: a handful of items disguised to look like an order of magnitude more, when the are actually just recoloured). The games industry has moved away from textures for something as simple as colour differentiation for ages now, and for good reasons. We have reached a level of graphics engine sophistication where textures can be used for what it says on the tin: texture. Baking colours into that texture when you intend to offer a great deal of colour variation is downright stupid, doubly so if you want a lot detail variety with logos and the like GÇö those are best handled with a decal system.

Again: they are no different GÇö it's just colour. The mere notion that they should be individual items is proof that they did it wrong from the very start. The market would work exactly the same but without the pointless clutter of dozens of the exact same item.

Wow your palneness in that dress... so hot!

Also... tights, not stockings.

Not talking down on you, the difference in sexyness is just huge.


So nothing happened?

Are we pissed? (we, as in the collective us)


Is there a point where I can get all the information at once or do I have to run through all the threads??

Hell yeah tights are out.

...What makes tights more attractive then stockings?

I love your portrait. The headdress really suits you.

EVE clearly contains over 100 items of apparel, most of them are totally unavailable in game. Yet, clearly they exist if one is to deselect 'Show only available' and then access an Apparel market group. Does CCP actually know how much more successful the Nex Store would be if it.... Had variety? It makes it much harder to simply use isk, there is much more depth in character customization and the assets are literally just sitting there, taking up space in everyone's client and in the server.

So, CCP, why are they unreleased?

Is there any point in caring about clothing if you can't ever get out of the captain's quarters?

The technique you describe is a valid one and something that might work for the level of detail some of these assets have but it is a bad idea to implement a completely different system just for the apparel since their existing workflow needs to use hand painted textures for all other assets.

And you're still missing the point that the market would need to have these different colors available anyways, or else how would you purchase the different color schemes?

you judge .

Why is it that I am constantly seeing promotional material, with completely unattainable assets involved? All of these things were working perfectly fine on the test server each time they were released onto it. Honestly, why the hell haven't they been released. They seem like they could be made available immediately, so what the hell is keeping CCP up?

Would also like to see more Tattoos, either sleeves or non.

Was upset I missed the boat on the Drone and Nature Tatts, pretty costly on the market.

But for some reason Prototype is available.. because with 3 actual prosthetic arms we just need a tattoo for one as well


whatever happened to ones previewed 2 years ago?

i've been talking about the visible yet unavailable stuff for ages now.

glad to see someone else finally noticed too.

I have been moaning about the unavailability of the vast majority of character customization items for almost 2 years now. I'm not going to get bored until I see something of this now. I'd like my Rose tattoos soon.

My main has been waiting for the "Structure" dress since first seeing it on Sisi back in 2011, more than 1.200 days ago.

...actually with all the cloning going on and flying around in a goo filled capsule that even recycles our bodily fluids we should actually be butt naked 24/7, would make much more sense.

....Spaceship game were you can-¦t even prance around to show off your hot pants in person...

As much as I want a Guardian-Vexor...... NONONONONONONONO! P2W=BAD!

Lot's of cool tattoos are on the sisi database: http://imgur.com/a/VbGce

I really hope they get released as they are pretty cool. The designers did a really good job.
