New Blood Moon info released, we spy new costume pieces
Filed under: Screenshots, Patches, News items, Champions Online
If you needed proof that October 27th was just a couple weeks away (aside from a calendar, of course) then look no further than this massive update to the Blood Moon page on the official Champions Online website. The page is filled with event-exclusive perks, rewards, item drops, screens and even a snazzy Takofanes wallpaper. The zombie Foxbat toy in particular will be a wonderful way of making all your friends jealous, assuming you can get it to drop.
Those new screens are actually pretty key here, because they reveal something about Blood Moon we didn't specifically know yet: the new costume pieces. Looking through the screens, we noticed player characters who're obviously using the new Celestial powers. However, some of them -- like the character above this post -- are sporting outfit pieces that we're wholly unfamiliar with from our time in the game.
Now, it could be that we haven't come across these angelically inspired outfits yet, but something tells us this just isn't the case. We're sure to hear something more official in the next week or so, but you heard it here first!

Medical Alert Man ? Im sure he throws out the moniker about a situation as a prognosis.
Jokes aside, im not surprised they brought out a new costume theme items to work with the new powerset, and its a good thing, because as the game grows and develops its something players can look forward to, we all knew to some degree that this was the plan with the store feature,
Hopefully this continues as the game grows. Not that the player base is stifled for choice at the moment but wider variations definitely allow for better immersion in this kind of game.

Unfortunately no matter how much choice the developers throw at us, a good majority of people go off and design hero's that look almost identical (ie. cliche costumes, superhero's that already exist, anime characters, etc).

I don't think it's nearly as bad here as it was when CoH came out. Or maybe I'm just out of touch. Seems like Deadpool gets way too much attention though.
