Kinperor Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Greetings, I was delighted to finally acquire my Ember Prime today, after the changes to the void drops from U12. However, that magical moment was spoiled when I went to color her and noticed that for some reasons, the color I wanted were not applied properly. See following picture: As you can see, she is covered in a weird grey-red, while it should be more of a dark wine red, like on the Syandana. The only part of her color option that is not desaturated is the "secondary" one, the rest all get that treatment. Other colors get the same effect, albeit white is slightly less affected. I hope quite dearly that this is a bug and not something done on purpose, because frankly it looks terrible. I want my regular colors back, is what I'm saying. EDIT: It would appear it is in fact intended, due to the 'material'. Well, again I state my disliking of it: if I wanted my frame to look grey-red or grey I would actually paint it that color, not depend on a different material to do so. I hope that this is changed so that I can actually customize my frame the way I want, I find it quite annoying otherwise.

RedPrimed Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ok only scanned this, have you tried to hit the reset button on the colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPrimed Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 then thats a bug if the default color is the color you changed it to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinperor Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Rephrase that please? I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPrimed Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 If you hit the default color button and the color that you changed it to didn't change back to the default then its a bug (if you still don't understand) its a bug, report it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinperor Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 That's not the issue here, I chose one color on my frame, and the color gets applied wrong on the frame. I can reset the colors just fine, but when I change the colors again, it still has the same issue. I would like to point out that this thread is meant to report the bug that makes my red go from "dark" to "grey" red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPrimed Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) so your saying the color you pick is getting mashed with the color thats on ember and not showing up as the color you picked or is the color just changing back and forth Edited February 12, 2014 by Sasoka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinperor Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 The color I choose are shown desaturated on the frame and remains that way. Have you looked at the picture? You can see on the Syandana what the color should look like and you can see on the frame that it isn't the same color at all. That's really just it.

Yorinar Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 From what I recall, other primes suffer from the same disease. Coloring a prime is iffy at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPrimed Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I did see the picture and if the colors aren't the same as the color you picked and look like a mixed version of the color you picked and the color that was on ember then its not a bug some frames will do that and its really annoying but seeing that it takes up all of embers body then they should change it later if your concerned about it then just report it there's no harm in it if not then just wait it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinperor Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 From what I recall, other primes suffer from the same disease. Coloring a prime is iffy at best. Frost Prime has no such issue, I tested it just now. Excal Prime for some reasons appears to somewhat brighten the colors when applied to it. I can't try Mag Prime, I sold her. I won't lose my time on the prime weapons to check. Point is, only Ember and Excal prime seem to be really affected by this. I did see the picture and if the colors aren't the same as the color you picked and look like a mixed version of the color you picked and the color that was on ember then its not a bug some frames will do that and its really annoying but seeing that it takes up all of embers body then they should change it later if your concerned about it then just report it there's no harm in it if not then just wait it out This thread is my report. If it's intended then I'll have a mod move my thread to a feedback subforum. I just find it odd because there is one color option that works fine, but only "secondary". It's not consistent, is what I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah, I think this is feedback, not a bug--a lot of various materials in the game color oddly. It's just the material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinperor Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Great, thanks. Really hoping that the devs change that, right now I'm deciding whether to keep Base!Ember or Prime!Ember, and while I really like the look of Prime!Ember, the skewed colors is just too much of a flaw IMO.

[DE]Draice Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Mynki's taken a look and tweaked the materials a bit. It should look better after tonight's patch is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitsorou Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Mynki's taken a look and tweaked the materials a bit. It should look better after tonight's patch is released. Can other primes get this too? Excal and Mag are really bright, almost bleached. >: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklord5830 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Akstilettos have the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinperor Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well, that opened a small can of worm. While we're still on this particular issue, I might as well bring up Valkyr, see here: She has the same problem, you can see on the picture above the contrast between the normal dark red and the faded version. That would be her "primary" color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duk282 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Mynki's taken a look and tweaked the materials a bit. It should look better after tonight's patch is released. Can he look at the Drakgoon? The same thing has happened to part of colors on the Drakgoon -it's actually not even customizable anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybernetix Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 If you're listening DE, excal prime could use a touch up. Compared to the other primes he's looking a little dull from a colour perspective and there's a whole lot of unchangeable grey ruining all the fun.

Kinperor Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Logged in and I was quite happy to see that I could properly color my Ember Prime. That made my day! However, I noticed that the "tint 3" still had the same effect: is that intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
