Used an Ooze Tonic, hide the flaming pumpkin crown, un hid the flaming pumpkin crown and then used /sit

Then just wait for the Ooze /sit animation to kick in.

I wish ANET would just let you display the flaming aura for your regular headpiece without the headless or pumpkin mask. Would be awesome!

Love the screenshots, I agree that purchased content really should have that extra kick that is animation.

I'm gonna be pissed if they fix that.

Yes, the headless flames is the reason I bought the costume. I wish they would just make it an "aura" that would overlay with your normal headgear. Would be even cooler to have a full body particle effect....

You know what would be even more awesome? If your headgear displayed with the headless costume except without your head. Floating glasses and hats would be FTW.

The male ones are good, the female one is good but not the Lich thing. I prefer not to look like a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO on crack. ._.

Shoot - i was just about going to buy these - first costumes I actually liked. Then I stood next to someone with the flaming pumpkin and realized the flames are two dimensional.

The textures seem to be a bit bland on the old Wintersday ones and the attire for the Lunatic Court..

All flames made with shaders in GW are, like the one on Gunnar's Hold.
I would still have them instead the old flames like the ones seen in the Prophecies' Beacons.

Yeah - I realize that they probably had no choice given the game design etc. And if it were an ingame item with this animation. I would be thrilled. I just don't want to spend money for flat flames.

Still might buy the lich costumes though - I am impressed by them.

Ele headgear displays with the headless costume. Paragon probably would as well.

It's pretty plainly a bug.

Not really. I'm assuming that each tonic has a defined "head" and therefore the "headgear" would show on the tonic creature's "head".

Not seeing it as a bug.

If it is a bug it should never be fixed

I really like the new comstumes, seems to me like the best ones yet.

The flames appearing when you use a Transmogrifier Tonic or when you are wearing the headless costume was an unintended bug. HOWEVER, since everyone is having so much fun with it, we're going to leave it in.

Whoo, nice!

I'm glad an awesome bug like this wasn't taken out. Not like the past-bug removal where minions were twice as big. Now that was another cool bug.

You should have claimed it as an "added feature".

When a company with a really successful game manage to hit the spot even by accident and get really positive comments from their clients because of a BUG, the members of this company can be really proud of themselves, haha

Congratulations A.Net for the best costumes in-game so far and also for the best bug ever (The image of a rabbit on fire with black wings is the best thing i've seen on a game, serious)

Has anyone tried flame+Squah Serum? Those serums work on tonics as well.

I did (not while using a tonic or anything). Unfortunately the serum ran out before I screencapped it, but it looked really cool.

You have to spam a bunch of them to give you the needed time.

My thanks also for the great effects from the costumes. And if anyone has problems getting the flames to appear, just remove the headpiece and replace.

I find that the flames disappear every 30 minutes that you are logged in, but not right away. After the 30 minute mark, if you map to a city or change districts, the flames stop.

Removing and re-equipping the headpiece will start the flames again.

However, the animation stops after 5 hours.
