Since the last patch, the Plague Doctor outfit that you get for completing the Surgical Procedure challenge has black boots, which were previously brown like the original disguise (You can see the difference between the two in the picture below)
While I like the color change, and even prefer the boots being black, I don’t like the idea of silently changing starting suits, as it has potential to ruin a suit someone likes, while not even being transparent about it. Or perhaps this is a bug of some kind?
Remember the Kasmerian suit?
I guess here we have similar strategy.
It’s so minor and somebody won’t even notice the difference to mention it in the patchnotes.
It’s not a fix after all, just a small tiny change
Did the starting Plague Doctor suit register as a suit or Plague Doctor for outfit in contracts? If it registered as a suit, I can understand the minor change to distinguish between the two. I see from your photos you can change outfits between the two, and this is my only theory at the moment.
If both register as Plague Doctor, then I have no idea.
I don’t totally remember so? (Though I feel like I remember them adding the pinstripes to it)
If not I think The Count is mostly referring to how the Cashmerian Suit is quite different from the in-level disguise.
i think it always had pinstripes it just previously had a less detailed texture
also does this apply to the super fan disguise? because i like this as a change because it gives SOME level of difference without sabotaging the whole look
also semi related question: having multiple challenges for the same unlock: yay or nay? because i could see them if theyre reversing some of their “make a suit unlokc of a disguise exactly the same” stuff i could see them reversing the fact the Undying ET gives out the florida fit along with dartmoor show
i think that’s the best route too. i think when ETs are over or winding down challenges for all their unlocks should be there, you can still have the progression in your career tab as a bragging rights but now you can unlock it doubly so. i understand locking a season 1 case and coin and the black winter suit behind that exclusivity but now i think most people have the unlocks so might as well ditch the time limited nature. the suits that require SA or multiple ETs can still have a different but equally tricky or long unlock requirement ala the phantom suit going from 50 kills to beating a large amount of contracts so long as it is always availble to a newbie
also i was wondering, fixing the suit itself is one thing but is the challenge fixed? i remember it having a weird category (in “feats”) AND it required beating the mission, it didnt have a counter
The one we’ve got differs and even named slightly another way from the original which the NPC wears in Mumbai. Technically speaking yes, it was altered, from the very beginning
You don’t seem to understand, Cashmerian suit was inspired by the assassin in Mumbai, but was always distinct in it’s looks from the beginning.
The Plague Doctor on the other hand was identical visually, both as a starting suit and a disguise, but has only recently received a color change in it’s boots. So it’s not the same thing we are talking about here.
I actually tested Super Fan as well, but thankfully no sneaky changes have been made to it, it’s the same visually, both as a starting suit and a disguise.
Plague Doctor as a starting suit acts the same as any ordinary suit 47 has, so it lacks the special interactions of the Plague Doctor disguise. You can’t hide on the stand where the disguise can be found. You also don’t count as trespassing inside the church, if in the starting suit version, but you will count as trespassing if you’re wearing the disguise version.
Those are the differences. Visually, they used to be identical (Brown boots) until the latest patch.
I don’t. In fact, as the owner of those items, I want those to be a part of challenges too, even if they’re still ET focused. They’re impossible to get for new players, and that just sucks because the suitcase in particular is pretty cool looking, and I wish more people could use it.
I can’t confirm if they ever fixed the challenge notification not popping up, but I can confirm that you never had to complete the whole mission, and that people who did so, did it as an unnecessary precaution. As soon as you did the challenge, you could exit or restart the mission, and you would have the suit unlocked in your inventory.
well i think i just would like there to be some proof to the people who unlocked them back then that that’s how they unlocked it. because what they do now is like if old pokemon were restricted to that region of origin, but pokemon has it that you can find pokemon in the new regions but ones that are brought from the old games mention in the description their region of origin, thus you get to show off that your pokemon is from the older games. i hope there’s something similar with those that get unlocked.
it could be a very small thing like the black winter suit and s1 case you unlock in WoA having a different pin, not having the baggage tag or being the lowest tier coin of the s1 trio. or just keeping them the same but people who have it thru a transfer have an extra line in the description specifying where they got it. in fact telling us when and where we unlocked something in the description could be a fun feature, since they keep track of all our data they could tell us how long we’ve had something for
also it’d be nice to finally be able to unlock the season 2 & 3 equivs to the season 1 set: solstice, s2 case, outstanding service coin, etc.
I don’t bloody care any more. They’ve been time-locked since 2018, and it’s now 2025. I don’t think the items feel special to me in that way that they once did, especially since we’re one-game removed from where they debuted. Just make the S1 suitcase available via a challenge, the black winter suit an ETA challenge, and the coins can be for those who completed any ET in H3 already, depending on how well they do.
If they wanna give OG players from 2016 a cosmetic badge on my profile to show such status, IO can go ahead and do that. But times have changed, and unlocks being gated like this is not something players are happy about.
