Sadly, what we're seeing here is artefacts caused by the way Unreal handles Ambient Occlusion and the way we use it. It's resolution dependent, so lowering the resolution will increase the visibility of the problem. I hope to get some time to look into the postfx in general soon, but this particular issue is more on Unreal's shoulders than on ours.
What does a Lost Pack event look like? I've been wandering public servers all night and didn't see one.
Look out for helmets with blinking lights lying around in the caves here and there. They'll get you started.
It's really frustrating to me that "just unlock it again" is the response, especially when the Gunner has fewer Paintjobs by default compared to the other classes. If players had access to it previously, I feel that they should continue to have access to it under the new system.
Edit: The previously missing Paintjob is now available, so disregard that part.
If you are referring to the missing Mastery Paintjob for Gunner, that was a bug which I believe has been hotfixed already. He is of course supposed to have the same amount of Paintjobs as the other classes.
Do you ever plan on letting us buy skins from the cosmetic machine?
Definitely possible, but likely not for the moment. Right now we are focused on getting the entire game ship-shape for launch.
We added the Class Colors to the Gold Armors specfically because of the amount of complaints we were getting because of the lack of it. So at least to some people, it was indeed broken.
The reason the armors look strange to you: We have introduced Paintjobs for all armors with Update 29, just like we did for Weapons. Keep doing missions, you will eventually find all the old Paintjobs, as well as a lot of new ones.
Curious to know what caused it. Did someone rename the .png files to .beer again?
If only. xD Nah, simple oversight. The system didn't cap properly, and so didn't know what to show when at a level above what it had images for.
I’d like to have both, cause I also really like the new one.
Good thing that's exactly what the new system allows then. :)
I'm guessing that's been moved to a color palette you can find in missions. They made everyone have a default shared across all armors based on the starting armor, but undoubtedly they're not going to just toss out good palettes they've already made.
I'm looking forward to the possibility of using that old palette on the other armors. :)
Yep, that's exactly what we've done. All the old ones are in there to be found, alongside brand new ones.
That's the point of the whole Paintjob system, folks! Despair not, all the old Paintjobs are still there - not to mention a ton of brand new ones - you'll just have to find and unlock them through the new Lost Pack events.
And since it's all Paintjobs now, any Paintjob you own can be applied to any armor for that specific class.
The error's on our end, not yours. It'll be fixed in next Hotfix.
Yeah, the push includes pickaxe parts, so you haven't missed out on anything.
The caution stripes were my favorite part so I hope they do indeed come back
I can confirm that they do.
I really really hope that all paintjobs have some trace of the original 4 colors - driller yellow, engi red ect. It always saddens me when games throw color design to the wind in the quest to make a diverse set of cosmetics. That's just my vote, but im sure you are really far along on paintjobs anyways. : /
We agree. We ended up scrapping the Promotion skins that ignored the class colors until we get some time to do it properly.
Can we please have a black-out one?
Everything is possible. :>
So were essentially getting the weapon skin system forarmors?
Pretty much!
This was suggested by someone on this reddit only a few days ago if I remember a developer responded
Great to see ghost ship actually listen to us
In fairness, we've had this in our plans since forever, and were actively working on it weeks before the suggestion landed here. But it still never gets old having a feature suggested that you're working on already. :D
I'll pass this on to the Designers and see what we can do. :)
It will be fixed when Update 29 launches properly, this skin was not done by the time this Experimental patch went live.
Yea, a lot of people have alrready told me most of this from other post of devs. Nevertheless, I apreciate a lot that you took time to respond to my post, and i love to hear that the dusty textures are not gone, and the shiny is just the default painjob for the driller, and the scout is a bug.
Keep doing the good work, and sorry if the post seems a bit agresive. Now with hindsight i can see why some pleople take it as an attack instead of fair criticism. I am sorry for that, and i will try to be more adecuate in future posts.
Rock and stone.
It's okay, we do our best just to take it as a compliment that people are this passionate about our game. :D
