Ascendant Metallic Red Holo-Me suit missing?

PKSeven · Sep 30, 2019

Shortly before the update and conversion of the Game Extras site in preparation for the Arx system, I saw the Ascendant Metallic Red flightsuit available in the store (I have Blue and Black already), and so on the Monday of the week of the update I went back to the store hoping to buy it, except it was already offline to prepare for the new Arx system. No problem, I thought; I'll just get it once Arx are live. It's been a couple of weeks now and (as far as I know) the store is stable, but I'm seeing no signs of the Ascendant Red suit available to buy.

In the Holo-Me menu I can see the Black and Blue Ascendant suits that I already own, but it's only showing 2/2 in that category, so it seemingly doesn't exist according to that page. Other categories show suits to buy (separate from the rest of the store for some reason) but Ascendant Red is nowhere to be found, and I saw no sign of it being a limited item, so what happened to it?

Same thing as happened to all the other missing things. They should really pin the 'known issues' post at the top of the forum. After they add 'missions b0rked on consoles' to the list.

So it is just a case of waiting for a while longer then. I figured that most items would've been back by now but I'll have to keep an eye out. Too bad I didn't buy it when I first saw it then.

As a side note, while I was looking around for similar reports just now, I saw in the FAQ that the Military flight suits were free for Horizons customers, though they now cost Arx too. They don't appeal to me anyway but apparently that doesn't apply anymore.

Probably saved you hitting the 'I bought ARX and got no ARX' bug, so a small mercy really. I'd wait until people can actually buy ARX reliably, but hey, I'm conservative

So uh, I've given it some time and occasional browsing on the store both on the website and in-game and it's still not there.

Just come back and after looking around store I have the same issue, I can use the ascendant gold and silver i already own, but the black, white, red and blue aren't available to buy

Anyone who knows when the costume Ascendant comes back to the store ?

Most of the holo-me flight suits are gone. Have been since they switched everything from frontier points to arx. They used to have some nice ones...

Strange should be simple to fix something like that, thanks for the tip

I think they weren't selling as well as the outfits but just speculation, i have no real clue why

I would have bought ARX now if the Ascendant suit was in the store but unfortunately it is still missing

I was waiting for the ascendant black suit, but honestly the default black suit (+ whatever you wear over it) is my favorite. I wonder what will become of it with Odyssey.

I wish I could have these for my other accounts

RIP Ascendant Metallic Suit.

I found the answer to that riddle.

It seems to me like a dumb idea to discontinue a skin people are still trying to buy. The work for them has already been done. It isn't like they have to make more of them or the inventory has been depleted. Im not seeing the drawback of keeping them available to buy. If no more ever sell, nothing lost. If they do sell, people are spending money.

Im hereby officially declaring shenanigans

I agree with you it feels like they have an agreement that is silenced in the general public, on the other hand so maybe the developers also have problems with storage space in the store, oh it reminds me a bit of the game there

On a similar note, about a week or so ago, I saw there were various metallic paint jobs for ships in the Arx store, but I can't seem to find them anymore?

I got only Ascendant white from these, but yeah, ascendant along raider ones are missing ever since ARX came out. Wich is bit of shame, these where most detalied varaints that was ever relased, for suit options atleast.

I buyed it back then as it looks so much better than default suits, there is lots of small detalis that default or any other that is currently available does not have... since rest of them are seems like being just re-colored, without depth that ascendant/raider variants had.

If anything, there is one thing that these are missing something that any other variants in game have, that blue light circle inside hand palms well as in finger tips.. probly was a design thing, but still feels like these lights should be there....

These might be re-relased when odyssey came out, but who knows.... Since ascendant and raider was not sold in packs but one had buy them separately of each colour, wich is probly reason why these aint are around anymore... in end, anything in holo-me to buy is sold by packs atm.
