  1. How do I fix my profile here? Everything is wrong there lol which is so funny! I do know my birthday which isn't January 1st. And I'm def not 47 years old lol

    But I can't change anything. Even the nickname showing there I have no clue where it came from. So bizarre.

     

    Thanks

    If you click on your user name in the upper right hand corner of the forums, select "My Settings", you can change everything quite easily.

     

    "Jen'jidai" is your Forums rank, it corresponds to the number of posts you have made, and will change as you make more posts. This is not something you can change, and it is the same for everyone, unless you hold an official staff position within the Detachment.

  2. Hello Marc, that is the 1 million dollar question. lol

     

    Normally a Cannon Character will be picked up by one of the other Detachments.

     

    As that Character really doesn't fit in with any other Detachments criteria, why it is currently sitting in limbo with no Detachment support.

     

    I agree it would probably fit in best in this Detachment.

     

    I will push your question farther up the chain, and see what I get for an answer.

     

    The Link shows "DS" but when you open the CRL it shows "DZ".  

  3. Nothing that company makes will meet 501st approval!

     

    Pretty much if it starts off with COSPLAY in the name, it is done cheaply, and not accurate enough for the 501st standards.  

     

    That is more of a Halloween costume, imo.

  4. ^^ What she said.  

     

    Other option would be to PM some other Mara Jades, and see where they got theirs from.

     

    In the End, its your GML making the decision for approval.

     

    Responses may be slow until after Celebration is over and people are back home.

  5. While many of the Detachment Staff and the Detachment Leader are Deployed to Florida during Celebration  :werock: ,

     

    Myself and a few others are here as Rear Detachment, keeping an eye on things.  :doh:

     

    So if you need something during the week of Celebration, rest assured we are still open for business as usual.  :saber:

  6. Not according to our records. No one has had this costume built and approved.

     

    P.S. Check your Garrison selection in your profile to make sure its correct.

  7. I know its the KoToR version, but if you look closely, he's got random wrist guards.

     

    A different costume to normal means...Well...Pretty self explanatory really, when you think of Nihilus you think of KoToR or CoTF version. Therefore anything else would be different to what you would normally expect :)

     

    There lies the problems, and why I don't think this game is a credible source of reference, as the details are not clear enough to make out, because the quality of details is low, and the image itself is too small.

     

    Wrist guards? All I see are his gloves, and his shirt sleeve are bunched up before the gloves.

  8. Unlocked Nihilus last night and noticed that interestingly he has a different costume to normal.

    My question is simple, do people think that GoH costumes should be clearable as well?

     

    I've not looked into the others to much to be honest so the other characters may not have different costumes to normal.

     

    Nihilus in GoH, is Darth Nihilus (KOTOR II) not Darth Nihilus (COTF) if that is what you are talking about?.

     

    What does "a different costume to normal" even mean?

     

    Rather small images and not very detailed to use as a source for building a costume. imo

  9. In my opinion if it says it should be the same material, then it should be the same material.  My Nihilus is made out of raw black silk for every layer, except the arms, and I don't think that it's that heavy or uncomfortable.  You're wearing all black so heat wise it's going to be hot no matter what.

     

    Well yes you are correct, if it says same material, it should be the same material.

     

    I was just explaining the reasoning behind the same material, and how different materials could then cause a problem later on.

     

    Nils,

     

    Instead of using 2 different materials, you may want to consider using a different material altogether, that other Nihilus have chosen to use in their builds, so its the same material and you don't run into problems later.

     

    I will send you a PM on the GG forums about another GG member who has made this costume and did it all herself, she can probably give you some tips and let you know what materials she used in her Nihilus.  Or you could also consider the raw black silk Kracker98 has mentioned above.

  10. Servus

     

    It has to look the same is the main point.  

     

    The weave of the material needs to be the same.  The color black needs to match exactly.

     

    No one is going to touch the material, so that is not the issue.

     

    The problem that may occur over time, by trooping and/or washing, is that one material may fade differently than the other.  So it could look correct when it is newly made, but after several troops the two different types of material could start looking like 2 different shades of black.

  11. I love the inquisitor sister outfit, I also know some other people interested in making it.  She looks like she has less visibility than my starkiller, and that is hard to do lol.

     

    Saber looks cool as well, cant wait to see it full circle.  Are you going to make it fold out to a full circle or permanently as full circle? Are you thinking down the road, a way to make it spin?

     

    You make those good enough, I am sure someone would be interested in commissioning you to make them one as well.
