State of equipment/model graphics after launch

Cemm

There were multiple changes at the end of beta and I'm sure there've been many more since the game went live.  Is the newbie outfit still part of the base model for characters?  i.e.  If you picked a robe and sandals to start out with, you can cover it all up with all sorts of other equipment and boots, but your very base appearance without any gear at all will always be that robe and sandals that can't be removed.  Is it still that way or has it changed again?

I believe it is still like that.

I made a character this morning and I picked an outfit with a green vest over blue shirt and pants, but when I started the game I was in an all white jump suit. I don't know if that was a bug or something but that is my experience.

You can go to your character screen and remove them.  It gives you basic gear - if you want to remove the (shirt,pants,robe, etc.) you will look like your character at creation time.

Who were you role playing, Elvis?

In beta everyone had the same generic sleeveless shirt and leggings on the base model for the longest time.  These couldn't be removed and served as the skivvies.  That was it though, everything else was removeable if you chose and a lot of equipment just didn't seem to appear at all anyway.



For some reason, right at the end of the beta, they decided to offer more starter clothing options but also make them completely unremoveable so you could never go bare foot again, for instance.  Of all the minor annoyances about the game that I'd been just shrugging off, for some reason that was the last straw.  I just liked having the choice if I wanted. 



I was just wondering if they'd changed their minds and offered the options again.

Actually I was role playing a dwarf man cross dressing as JLO

Can anyone that is currently subscribing to Vanguard offer an update on this question?  Are the various 'starter' outfits on the base character models still entire outfits including sandals/boots that can't be removed, only just covered up with other equipment?

Yep it is still that way , When you start  a new character you are given newbie adventuring gear . Remove it and you will be wearing the base outfit you picked for your toon .
