[2022] Regal Apparel Mini Skirt now shows leggins ingame

Hi all, 

While I do appreciate a good pair of leggings, especially during the colder months, this was not intended to happen. So the team will be looking into a fix for it in a future update. 

Hey folks,

Ok, apologies for the slow response on this one as it took quite a bit of digging to work through what exactly happened. I will give the details further down but for the TLDR -- The skirt with the leggings is intended and so that version will stay untouched. However, given the nature of that fix happening we are going to add a version of the skirt without leggings in 7.3.1. So anyone who has acquired the armor set at that point, or who pulls it down from collections (for those who already own it), will receive both versions.

Now for the detailed breakdown for those who are curious. So with some digging it seems that when this armor set was released way back in 2013 it actually launched bugged. The bug was that the leggings weren't showing on the character model but were showing up in almost every other situation (such as the plates and in the gears icon). Unfortunate that the place it was bugged was the most visible, which certainly makes the whole thing confusing as to what the bug actually is. As you know, once an MTX item goes live we are very, very hesitant on touching something someone has paid for unless it is very clear it was bugged. This skirt issue didn't present that clearly as a bug so it isn't something we would actually have changed.

However, with our journey to 64-bit we effectively (and bear with my highly technical terms) jiggled the handle on every texture in the game. When that pass touched this armor set, it re-exported the skirt which was all that was needed to fix the leggings. We didn't actually fix the skirt intentionally, it was a byproduct of our move to 64-bit.

All of that said, that is why our plan will just be to have both versions of the skirt for previous and future purchases. Appreciate your patience as we dug through this very unusual series of events that led us here.

Thanks all!
