Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug with Guardian Fiery Composition's Phoenix Awakening that caused the effects of the power to unintentionally stack excessively instead of only once as intended, dealing highly imbalanced amounts of damage and possibly affecting server stability. The base stats of the power remain unchanged.
Pride comes to City of Heroes Rebirth! This is the start of a new but humble event that we'll be running during most of June. During the Pride event a rainbow will appear in the skies of Atlas Park, Cap au Diable, and Nova Praetoria. (Astute observers may notice the rainbow changing colors!) Anyone who logs into the game during the event will receive the Proud badge.
A rainbow will appear in the north sky of Atlas Park and Cap au Diable as well as in the east sky of Nova Praetoria.
As you watch, the colors of the rainbow shift and change. Astute observers may notice familiar colors in the mix...
New Dance Emotes
Accompanying this event, five brand-new dance emotes have been added! Get your groove on with these stylish new moves and express your inner self!
Groove: Access this dance with /e dance12, /e dancegroove, or /e groovedance
Shuffle Back: Access this dance with /e dance13, /e shuffledance, or /e shuffleback
Mystic: Access this dance with /e dance14, /e dancemystic, /e mysticdance, or /e mysticstance
Wednesday: Access this dance with /e dance15, /e wednesdaydance, /e dancewednesday, or /e gothdance
Twist: Access this dance with /e dance16, /e twistdance, or /e twist
Security & Bug Fixes The following security and bug fixes should have no impact in the game world:
Backend software updated to handle a potential stability issue that can arise from a bug in the server communication handling. The issue could affect anything associated with the mapserver or login operation.
Backend software updated to handle denial of service attacks.
Fixed an exploit that could be used to transfer a character.
Added extra character validation to account fields to prevent erroneous data transmission.
All continuous spherical Attract effects now have an inner radius of 5 feet, unless they already had a larger one. This small dead zone prevents the jitter bug where affected entities rapidly move back and forth near the center of the effect, without impacting the overall attract effectiveness. This affects all versions of Quicksand, Whirlwind, and the attract effects on Gravity's Singularity and Wind's Vortex. (Containment Shell and Black Hole already had inner radii.)
Attract on Quicksand and Black Hole split into player-affecting and critter-affecting effects, and restored the missing tohit check on the player-affecting versions, following the lead of other continuous attract/repel powers. This means that these powers will now correctly not be 100% reliable against player targets, as intended for these types of effects.
Apex Task Force, Mission 2: Battle Maiden and her ambushing Animated Swords will now spawn correctly, so the mission can once more be completed. Note: as a side effect of this fix, the Apex Task Force will not be eligible for Genesis Wave spawns until a future fix can be applied.
Mender Silos Strike Force, Mission 2: Sister Psyche once more spawns correctly.

Defeat All missions in Genesis Encounter enabled content are no longer broken.
Positron Task Force Part One, Mission 4: Doc Buzzsaw boss will once more spawn correctly.
Fixed costume creator hover updating not working when gloves are linked.
Added sub-option for Headscarf costume piece removing the front tail.
Fixed minor clipping issues with cropped graphic tees and harnesses in robotic arms categories.
Fixed omission of Shinobi Gi from robotic arms categories.
FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY - WILL BE REVERTED BEFORE GOING LIVE
Task forces have had their minimum team size requirement reduced to 1.
The 'completetask' command has been unlocked, to allow testers to quickly skip missions that are already known to be working properly. To use, simply type '/completetask 0' in the chat window when the mission you want to skip is active. You do not need to actually enter the mission.
Break Free type inspirations now protect against Attract.
Overwhelming Force enhancements now always drop at level 1 internally, correctly allowing characters of all levels to use them and allowing them to stack in base enhancement tables. This fix only affects newly awarded enhancements, pre-existing enhancements will remain the same.
Unrelenting once again accepts Rez IO sets.
Fixed incorrect float text when converting Challenge Enhancements.
Fixed missing textures on some Carnival of Shadows-themed costume parts.
Patch Notes: - Corrected an issue with the internal level of Challenge Enhancements that prevented them from being placed in the auction house or being slotted by low level characters. - Fixed an issue that caused powers slotted with the full set of Imperial Might to still inflict knockback on targets.
Note that the fix for Challenge Enhancements only fixes newly awarded enhancements; existing enhancements will not be affected. If you have already earned Challenge Enhancements and wish for them to be swapped out for the fixed versions, please create a support ticket with the PPD Drone on discord.
Bug Fixes: - Mission completion rewards in Dark Astoria now include both types of Advanced Incarnate XP. - Magisterium Trial now correctly rewards Incarnate Threads once more instead of Shards. - Underground Trial should now remove "Glowing Lichen" temporary power upon completion. - Fixed incorrect float text for certain Water Control and Trick Arrow powers. - Weave's immobilize resistance now correctly applies in PvE, not just PvP. - Fixed Acrobatics having some attributes with durations shorter than the toggle's activation period. - Haunting and Witchcraft procs are now correctly disabled during No Set Bonuses challenges. - Fixed certain Carnival of Shadows and Sky Raider costume parts that had broken textures. - Temporarily disabled the Community Information Kisoks to see if they are the cause of recent server issues. They will not stay disabled, this is just for testing purposes to help diagnose these issues.
QoL Features: - You can now convert Incarnate Threads into both types of Advanced Incarnate XP. - The following powers that grant mez protection can now be cast through hold, sleep, stun, and fear: -- Electric Armor's Power Surge -- Invulnerability's Unstoppable -- Regeneration's Moment of Glory -- Shield Defense's Active Defense -- Ninjitsu's Kuji-In Rin -- Psionic Mastery's Indomitable Will (Controller & Dominator) -- Peacebringer's Light Form
Patch Notes: - Fixed incarnate XP continuing to be earned in unintended content after a character was exposed to Genesis effects - the Genesis Wave was stronger than we expected! - Fixed full level shifts erroneously being applied in Genesis content. - Full level shifts will once more apply in the Magisterium trial. - The Summer Blockbuster event is now working again. - Challenge Enhancement reward options no longer incorrectly check your recipe inventory rather than your enhancement inventory to determine if your inventory is full. - Fixed a client crash that occurred when talking to NPC vendors with a Kismet +To Hit enhancement or recipe in the character's inventory. - Restored descriptions for the first two powers in the tanker katana set. - The Genesis unlock badge now has the correct image.
Use this thread to post any feedback you have about the new Genesis incarnate powers in Rebirth Issue 6. The relevant sections of the patch notes are reproduced below.
New Incarnate Power: Genesis
Genesis holds the power of creation. With its power, Genesis enhances the effects of one of your other Incarnate powers. Additionally, Genesis creates a new version of that Incarnate power. Genesis Incarnate powers are not as strong as the original Incarnate power but they can be used anytime--even while exemplaring.
Rebirth Issue 6 introduces Genesis with four types of Incarnate power trees to choose from.
Data: Increases Lore pet's damage and Max HP. Grants Data pets from the Well of the Furies to serve you.
Fate: Increases Destiny effects. Grants power Fate PBAoE Ally Buffs.
Socket: Increases Interface proc chances, Max HP and Max Endurance. Adds Socket power to most damaging attacks.
Verdict: Increases Judgement damage. Grants power Verdict AoE Damage.
Unlock Genesis with the new Advanced Physical Incarnate experience available in the Magisterium, Dark Astoria, Number Six story arc, or Pandora Energy.
Pandora's Box Has Been Opened...
...The World Will Never Be The Same.
The opening of Pandora's Box has unleashed the "Genesis Wave", vast amounts of primordial energy that ripple through the very fabric of reality. The Genesis Wave empowers those that it touches, be they good or evil. Ride the wave in Issue 6: Dawn of Genesis!
Pandora altars have started appearing throughout time and space. Their presence unleashes great power on anyone around them. You might find them during Task Forces, Strike Forces, or during bank/mayhem side missions. Those affected will bask in the glow of this energy and gain great power for a short time.
This energy even awakens latten incarnate power and level shifts earlier than anyone imagined possible. Your rivals will suddenly be a fierce force to contend with. Defeat them to take their energy and start unlocking your incarnate powers earlier, as they do. Once defeated claim the altar's power for yourself and your allies.
[spoiler] Notes for playtesters: Pandora Altars have a chance to appear towards the end of most Task Forces, Strike Forces, and Bank/Mayhem side missions. Larger team sizes have a greater chance to spawn them. They emit Pandora Energy which provides Pandora Buffs and one or more level shifts to nearby foes. The amount of Energy depends on the altar tier. Bronze Altars emit 1 level shift. Silver Altars emit 2 level shifts. Gold Altars emit 3 level shifts. When an altar appears its tier will be random, however, there's a greater chance for Bronzes than Silver, and Silver than Gold. Defeat the foes and drain the altar of its Energy to give yourself and your team lucrative rewards. By doing so you'll receive: Incarnate XP if you're character is already level 50, Influence (and lots of it), A rare recipe drop, and a temporary Pandora Buff for the remainder of the mission.

Use this thread to post any feedback you have about the Power Proliferations and tweaks in Rebirth Issue 6. The relevant sections of the patch notes are reproduced below.
Epic Pool Power Proliferation: Martial Prowess Martial Prowess is an Epic power pool that has been expanded to Tankers and Brutes. Your experience in melee combat and your drive to improve have given you access to new techniques from various disciplines. You utilize skills from archers and warriors of the medieval age to ninjitsu techniques of the shinobi.
Throwing Dagger Ranged, Immobilize, Minor DMG(Lethal), Minor DOT(Lethal) Foe -Regen
Scouts and warriors have used small throwing blades to distract and weaken since metal was first smelted. You throw a knife to strike at a vital point on your foe. This does Minor Lethal damage, immobilizes the target, and inflicts a minor lethal DoT that moderately reduces their regen. Recharge: Moderate
Battle Hardened Auto: +Max HP, +Max End
Your experience in combat has given you strength and stamina! This power costs no endurance and increases your Max HP and Endurance.
Bodkin Bolt Ranged, High DMG(Lethal), -Def (All), -Res(All)
You employ a crossbow to launch an armor-piercing bodkin bolt at your target. This will strike for high damage and leave the enemy with less resistance and defense for a short while. You must be level 41 and own Throwing Dagger or Battle Hardened to purchase this power. Damage: High, Recharge: High
Art of War (Tankers only) Auto: Global Chance of +DMG (all), +End Discount
Your practiced moves allow you to get into a rhythm that blends a perfect combination of offense and defense. Every attack you make has a high chance of increasing your damage (all) and endurance discount for 10 seconds as your rhythm makes your attacks more efficient. This effect stacks 3 times. You must be level 41 and own Throwing Dagger or Battle Hardened to purchase this power. Note: This power is exclusive to Tankers
You succumb to your rage and begin fighting with no regard for your well-being. This power gives you a large amount of Fury and increases your damage resistance to everything for 30 seconds as you become too angry to feel the damage. You sacrifice a portion of your health in your ferocity. You must be level 41 and own Throwing Dagger or Battle Hardened to purchase this power. Recharge: Long Note: This power is exclusive to Brutes
You prefer to lead by example; inspiring others by your presence and bravery. While this power is active you will gain regeneration. Allies in your vicinity will gain regeneration and resistance to fear and confuse effects. You must be level 44 and own two other powers from Martial Prowess to purchase.
Epic Pool Power Proliferation: Munitions Mastery Munitions Mastery is an epic power pool that has been expanded to Guardians. Your Mastery of weapons and Munitions gives you tools to blast your foes and increase your capabilities.
Taser Jolt Melee, High DMG (Energy), Foe Disorient
Blasts the target with a high-voltage discharge from a powerful handheld stun gun. This melee attack deals high Energy damage and will Disorient most opponents. Damage: High, Recharge: Slow
Attack Munitions Ranged (Targeted AoE), Moderate DMG (Lethal/Smash OR Lethal), Knockback, Special
You have access to a variety of munitions to blast groups of foes. By default this power will throw a hand grenade at your foes, dealing moderate Smashing and Lethal damage to all foes within the blast radius and potentially knocking them back. If you are trained in Military Assault, this power will instead fire the grenade from under the barrel of your Assault Rifle. If you are trained in Gun Fu, when using this power you will instead use specialized ammo and your training to fire an arcing Bullet Rain from your pistols, dealing moderate Lethal damage to all foes in the attack's radius and possibly knocking them back. Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Slow
Superior Conditioning Auto: Self +Endurance
Your Superior Conditioning has increased your maximum endurance by 5%. You must be level 41 and have Taser Jolt or Attack Munitions before selecting this power.
Targeting Drone Toggle: Self +To Hit, +Perception, Res(DeBuff To Hit)
When this device is activated, the small Targeting Drone hovers around your head and emits targeting laser sights. The lasers can dramatically improve your chance to hit and increase your perception, allowing you to better see stealthy foes. Targeting Drone also grants you resistance to powers that debuff your chance to hit. This is a toggle power and must be activated and deactivated manually. Like all toggle powers, Targeting Drone costs endurance while active. You must be level 41 and have Taser Jolt or Attack Munitions before selecting this power. Recharge: Slow
Surveillance Ranged, Foe -DEF, -RES (All)
When this power is activated, you focus your senses to analyze your target's defensive capabilities and discover their weaknesses. By sharing your knowledge of the target's weaknesses with your team mates, you effectively reduce their defense and resistance to damage. Your Combat Attributes Window will also show the combat attributes of the target. You must be level 44 and have two other Munitions Mastery Powers before selecting this power. Recharge: Slow
Broadsword and Katana Proliferation
Power Set Proliferation has made Broadsword and Katana available to the Tanker Archetype.
Quality of Life Changes
Vigilance: Defender's inherent now receives a 10% endurance discount for the first three teammates and reduce the per health discount to 0.55.
Some powers have become a lot more Attractive.
Added Attract to powers that thematically fit.
Black Hole (Controller, Corruptor, Defender, Mastermind, Ghost Widow)
Now attracts foes inward towards the center of the black hole.
Radius increased from 20 to 25.
Allies that step inside the radius of the Black Hole will be phase-shifted like foes.
Now accepts Immobilize enhancements.
Whirlwind (Wind Control Vortex, Synapse, Cyrus Thompson)
Now attracts foes inward towards the center from up to 20 ft away.
Warshade Powers:
Gravimetric Snare (Normal Form Only) - Now attracts foes toward the caster Gravitic Emanation (Normal Form Only) - Exchanged its knockback to attract affected foes toward the caster Gravity Well (Normal Form Only):
Now has a 15 ft Attract radius, pulling foes towards the original target.
This power's hold and slow effects now hit up to 5 foes within 15 ft of the target.
Clear Mind (Controller, Defender):
Now provides a minor amount of defense to Psionics to the target and nearby allies.

Epic Pool Power Proliferation: Martial Prowess Martial Prowess is an Epic power pool that has been expanded to Tankers and Brutes. Your experience in melee combat and your drive to improve have given you access to new techniques from various disciplines. You utilize skills from archers and warriors of the medieval age to ninjitsu techniques of the shinobi.
Throwing Dagger Ranged, Immobilize, Minor DMG(Lethal), Minor DOT(Lethal) Foe -Regen
Scouts and warriors have used small throwing blades to distract and weaken since metal was first smelted. You throw a knife to strike at a vital point on your foe. This does Minor Lethal damage, immobilizes the target, and inflicts a minor lethal DoT that moderately reduces their regen. Recharge: Moderate
Battle Hardened Auto: +Max HP, +Max End
Your experience in combat has given you strength and stamina! This power costs no endurance and increases your Max HP and Endurance.
Bodkin Bolt Ranged, High DMG(Lethal), -Def (All), -Res(All)
You employ a crossbow to launch an armor-piercing bodkin bolt at your target. This will strike for high damage and leave the enemy with less resistance and defense for a short while. You must be level 41 and own Throwing Dagger or Battle Hardened to purchase this power. Damage: High, Recharge: High
Art of War (Tankers only) Auto: Global Chance of +DMG (all), +End Discount
Your practiced moves allow you to get into a rhythm that blends a perfect combination of offense and defense. Every attack you make has a high chance of increasing your damage (all) and endurance discount for 10 seconds as your rhythm makes your attacks more efficient. This effect stacks 3 times. You must be level 41 and own Throwing Dagger or Battle Hardened to purchase this power. Note: This power is exclusive to Tankers
You succumb to your rage and begin fighting with no regard for your well-being. This power gives you a large amount of Fury and increases your damage resistance to everything for 30 seconds as you become too angry to feel the damage. You sacrifice a portion of your health in your ferocity. You must be level 41 and own Throwing Dagger or Battle Hardened to purchase this power. Recharge: Long Note: This power is exclusive to Brutes
You prefer to lead by example; inspiring others by your presence and bravery. While this power is active you will gain regeneration. Allies in your vicinity will gain regeneration and resistance to fear and confuse effects. You must be level 44 and own two other powers from Martial Prowess to purchase.
Epic Pool Power Proliferation: Munitions Mastery Munitions Mastery is an epic power pool that has been expanded to Guardians. Your Mastery of weapons and Munitions gives you tools to blast your foes and increase your capabilities.

Blasts the target with a high-voltage discharge from a powerful handheld stun gun. This melee attack deals high Energy damage and will Disorient most opponents. Damage: High, Recharge: Slow
Attack Munitions Ranged (Targeted AoE), Moderate DMG (Lethal/Smash OR Lethal), Knockback, Special
You have access to a variety of munitions to blast groups of foes. By default this power will throw a hand grenade at your foes, dealing moderate Smashing and Lethal damage to all foes within the blast radius and potentially knocking them back. If you are trained in Military Assault, this power will instead fire the grenade from under the barrel of your Assault Rifle. If you are trained in Gun Fu, when using this power you will instead use specialized ammo and your training to fire an arcing Bullet Rain from your pistols, dealing moderate Lethal damage to all foes in the attack's radius and possibly knocking them back. Damage: Moderate, Recharge: Slow
Superior Conditioning Auto: Self +Endurance
Your Superior Conditioning has increased your maximum endurance by 5%. You must be level 41 and have Taser Jolt or Attack Munitions before selecting this power.
Targeting Drone Toggle: Self +To Hit, +Perception, Res(DeBuff To Hit)
When this device is activated, the small Targeting Drone hovers around your head and emits targeting laser sights. The lasers can dramatically improve your chance to hit and increase your perception, allowing you to better see stealthy foes. Targeting Drone also grants you resistance to powers that debuff your chance to hit. This is a toggle power and must be activated and deactivated manually. Like all toggle powers, Targeting Drone costs endurance while active. You must be level 41 and have Taser Jolt or Attack Munitions before selecting this power. Recharge: Slow
Surveillance Ranged, Foe -DEF, -RES (All)
When this power is activated, you focus your senses to analyze your target's defensive capabilities and discover their weaknesses. By sharing your knowledge of the target's weaknesses with your team mates, you effectively reduce their defense and resistance to damage. Your Combat Attributes Window will also show the combat attributes of the target. You must be level 44 and have two other Munitions Mastery Powers before selecting this power. Recharge: Slow
Broadsword and Katana Proliferation
Power Set Proliferation has made Broadsword and Katana available to the Tanker Archetype.
Power Info Emergence
We have significantly enhanced the user interface for power information to provide players with a wider range of data. Ever since its initial release in Issue 12, players have had access to real-time power information through the power user interface. As powers became more complex, the user interface became inadequate in conveying this information. Although secondary resources like MIDS and Red Tomax's City of Data are invaluable resources, we believe that you should have all power information at your fingertips without needing to go to secondary resources for information. In Rebirth Issue 6, we're taking a significant step toward this goal and have added the following functionality:
A number of powers with blank detailed info will now show up.
Power redirects, in which one power becomes a different power under certain circumstances, can now be displayed.
When a power grants a state, the UI can now show how long that state lasts.
Variable effects based on stacks of a power can now be displayed.
When a power's effects have different target areas, that can now be displayed.
Activate periods on toggles and auto powers are now displayed (which impact how often an effect fires).
For this issue, special attention was given to Beam Rifle, Force Fields, Peacebringers, Psionic Melee, Radiation Armor, Radiation Melee, Savage Melee, Trick Arrow, Warshades, Water Blast, Water Control, and Wind Control.
This system will continue to be expanded in future issues.

We've added a number of new costume pieces that are sure to help fill thematic gaps!
Turtleneck Collar for Male and Female (Detail 2)
Leather, Fleece, Cotton, Zipped Fleece, and Zipped Cotton variants

Hair variant has an extra colorable layer underneath the hood, Detail 2 variant is tight to the head and fits under hats/helmets

Detail (2) Expansions
Certain Face Detail 2 options for Male and Female are now nested in sub-categories, as opposed to listing separately. If you're not finding one in the menu, it's probably in a sub-menu! This was a technical change necessitated by certain Detail 2 work.
Shinobi Scarf's "For Capes" variant is now a sub-option
Bubble Helmet's breather and tube variants are now sub-options
Cosmic Corsair's Tube variant is now a sub-option
Metal Plate is now a sub-option of Plate

Quality of Life Changes
Vigilance: Defender's inherent now receives a 10% endurance discount for the first three teammates and reduce the per health discount to 0.55.
Training, Dual Origin, and Single Origin Enhancements will degrade a whole lot slower.
Expanded the number of levels for the loss of effectiveness of TO/DO/SO enhancement boosts so they wear out gradually over nine levels below the character's level.
Expanded the level above effectiveness by 1 to permit leveling characters to slot TO/DO/SO drop at the max level of their content. This prevents a situation where both current enhancements could expire while a character is leveling and receiving drops that they cannot slot for another level yet.
Some powers have become a lot more Attractive.
Added Attract to powers that thematically fit.
Black Hole (Controller, Corruptor, Defender, Mastermind, Ghost Widow)
Now attracts foes inward towards the center of the black hole.

Teleport bonuses for owning multiple powers in the Teleportation Pool will now grant properly.

Issue 5 brings many Quality of Life improvements and fixes to the costume creator.
Costume Presets
Costume presets have been fixed on Rebirth! Use them to kickstart your imagination or to quickly pull up a base template when making a new suit!
We've even added a number of Rebirth-specific presets and upgraded some old ones with Rebirth-specific parts on male and female models (huge versions coming later, with the final chapter of the asymmetric torso revamps). Look for the following new presets:
Dia de los Muertos, Golden Age, Hippie, Incandescence, Neon, Pilot, Pirate 1, Pirate 2, Prismatic, Radium, Sand, Spectral, Super Spy, Winged 1, and Winged 2.
Extended Natural Skin Tones
We've added 4 new carefully crafted and curated rows of natural skin tones to the character creator. There is now a much better range of golden, olive, and ruddy hues available! All have been tested for in-game performance by our dev team.
Random Color Selection on New Characters
Ever feel creatively blocked by seeing the peach skin tone and black and white tights colors upon making a new character? Us too. So we decided to randomize the initial color selections suggested by the character creator when making a new character. This with the fixed costume presets should make new character creation a breeze!
Surgical Four Color Support
No longer do you need to do the global color workaround to tweak the inside colors of cape-driven costume parts. Pieces that use cape technology but are not cataloged as capes now pull up the 4-color customization options. Now you can easily recolor the Wedding Tux and Cybertech coattails, the cloth details on your Cosmic Corsair, Tech Knight, Gunslinger belts, and Wedding Veil--all with quick, convenient ease!
New Emblem Packs
Rebirth Emblem Pack 3
Get your animals, meta-domino masks, sweet treats, green thumb, and retro gamer on with this latest chest and shield emblem pack!
Options include popsicles, popcorn, cupcakes, cacti, koi, squid, elephants, rabbits, single-button joysticks, health vials, and more!
Look for them at the bottom of the Symbol sub-category of Chest Details or Shield Emblems, starting with Angel's Food and ending with Unicorns.
Graffiti Emblem Pack
After something a little grittier or with an improvised vibe? Look for the new Graffiti Symbols sub-category on Chest Details or Shield Emblems.
Many familiar favorites, including lightning bolts, mystic symbols, and clenched fists have been given the graffiti treatment. Also look for Rebirth-specific graffiti symbols like the twin rats, rabbit, and smiley face here as well!
Note that the new crossed-out Arachnos emblem is unlocked via the Spider Smasher badge in-game. If you want to sport that one, you have to earn it!
Integrated Tights
New Undertights Options
All existing male and female integrated tights options have been updated to include ALL of Issue 4's glowing and animated skins. Want a halter top on your specter? Or a pair of modesty briefs over your plasma being? You can do that now.
For easier identification of integrated tights options, the first sub-entry on each integrated tights bundle now shines out with Neon underskin! The remaining glowing skins have been sandwiched between the natural skin options and Bioluminescence. Animated Sand can be found next to Stone.
Additionally, all female integrated tights have had the legacy Cryptic female Muscular texture added to their under-tights sub-options.
Lastly, a new high-hipped Bikini 2 has been added to female options, fully integrated. This pairs with the High Hipped Leotard texture for a complete bathing suit look or can be mixed and matched with other pant options for a more saucy, youthful vibe!
Classic Cryptic and Paragon Options now integrated
Multiple classic tights options from the Cryptic and Paragon eras have been retrofitted with the full integrated tights library, including glowing underskins!
On male chests, look for newly integrated Tank Top, Tanker, and Tee Shirt options. On females, look for integrated chest and hip versions of Angelic Plus, Excess Plus, and Imperial Dynasty. Female chest-only legacy items now integrated include the Leather corset and Tank Top.
(Some redundant top-level tattoo options have been consolidated under the new integrated options.)
Diversified Gloves
A majority of diversified gloves, which permit customization of wrist textures and colors independently from gloves, now include all Rebirth Issue 4 glowing and animated skins. Each can be found alphabetically amongst the sub-options on each diversified glove.
Gloves supported include Barbarian Ring, Spines, Cloud Bracer, Dragon Bracer, Overguard, Plant with Leaves, Small Flared, Small Padded, Small Pointed, Tai, Tied, and Wristband.
Misc.
The female Gunslinger belt with bustle and cape detail now offers an alternate version without stripes and a solid tintable bib.
