I don't know about "messed up," but costume drops now have their own
distinct "pool," separate from other recipes. In addition, costume
recipes can only drop from minions now. So if you're fighting lots of
bosses and LTs (such as a higher-level character with the difficulty
ratcheted up) you're LESS likely to get costume piece drops.

I know about the minion thing.
None of my currently played characters have the difficulty over the
medium setting - too difficult in an annoying way in this post ED
soloers world - especially for squishies without a self-heal.

I did a Positron TF today and got Bat Wings on it, then a Synapse and

Nah. I only play on Victory and I've had 4 costume drops total since I9.
(3 of them since I10 made the drops a little more frequent.)

Only one costume drop for me. Caliente Sam got the jump boots. Gave
them to an alt that was a cyborg-themed character named Bolo Lenny
(fan's of Keith Laumer may get the reference) Who is a Blaster that
looks like a tanker who looks like the offspring of a WWF wrestler and
a cargo payloader... Gave him an interesting backstory and I roleplay
him as a cyborg that still refers to himself in the third person and
does not quite understand human lifeforms (especially their
preferences to go into combat wearing almost nothing).

A mysterious alien race discovered the wrecked glowing battle tank out
in the desert, with the remains of an old soldier astride it. Using
parts from the tank and the organic remains, they rebuilt Unit LNE of
the Dinochrome brigade into an entity called Bolo Lenny. They then
placed Lenny in Paragon city to help fight the other alien invaders
there and hopefully as a catspaw to keep Nictus and Rikti from moving
on to other alien worlds, including their own.

I just got my first costume drop during the LGTF.

On my villain.

Insect Wings.

Can't use them with my concept (Tech Brute SS/Invul)

Can't give them to my hero which could use them.

Haven't gotten a costume drop on any of my heroes.

Sell the recipe for big bucks. Incest wings get a good price.

Insect wings seem to have come down a hell of a long way.

I bought my first pair at 1,000,000 and was amazed I got them at that
price since they were listing at about 2.5 million at the time.
[I put in a bid and sometime while I was offline I snagged it.]

The insect wings I sold the other day brought in 100k, and the previous
history was all 100-350k

A hundred thou wasn't bad since it's a new character, but nothing to
make one rich.

A far far cry from Scarlet Scimitar's 21 million selling Fairy wings.
