We delayed it until April. There was a small technical issue to resolve.

Dang. This is what I was looking forward to most in this patch...

but there sure was no problem with the stuff they make money on

Like Hero mechs and paints you mean?

Hero mechs have unique geometry too, guys.

Founders should be paintable.

It may be they're simply rolling out the Hero mech painting first. It might not take much work to convert it for Founders, but it still takes work. There's those six mechs waiting in the wings to be kept up to date with new Camos and what not, plus any new ones, so it's not like this is the texture artists' only job.

Factually based reason =/= excuse. Are you one of the people that thinks they can legitimately disagree with proven physics by saying "But my opinion is that you're wrong, and my opinion is just as valid as anyone else's."? Because that attitude is cancerous, really.

Poop. I was really looking forward to this. Oh well, April is only a few weeks away.

nope. i'm just amused. i did minor in physics though.

Just a wild guess, but I figure the Hero/Founders mech skins/colors were basically done in a 'single layer' mode where everything was done in a static single layer as opposed to doing it in a dynamic triple layer (primary, secondary, terciary colors) mode. And it's being a bit of a pain to change it without redoing it from scratch.

I'd much rather that they hold off (like they did) and give them time to get it right than to see hundreds of posts complaining that they got it wrong ...

On the geometry issue for recoloring founder's mechs, I'd be TOTALLY ok if they just let us change the blue; I don't mind never getting patterns or not having different zones, at least give us that. That wouldn't take much time at all and would never require retroactively fitting patterns. Seems win win all around. At least that.

I just want to change colors on my Ilya really. Make it Blue with white-ish stars.

[Hillslam]

I want the hero mech pallet for those heros I own (and my founders) added to my unlocked colors.

first because I don't want to experiment with a color scheme and then not be able to return it to default. But also I feel that at the pricepoints of these things, the colors should be thrown in for use where we want.

Well, if it's just a small technical issue, hopefully it makes next week's patch.

I can see the terror on the enemy mechs as they look up to see a pink wang charge straight at their face

[StealthAssassin]

Will Founders be able to paint their mechs also? Founder mechs look lame.

Pleeeeeeease this. I'm willing to spend money! Let me paint my Founder's mech!

There will be no 4/30 patch.. just a 5/7 patch.

They've stated publicly in an interview within the last month that their patch schedule is every two weeks, not twice per month.
