I'm sure this will get buried pretty quickly, and I think this happened in the previous patch when Hero 'Mech customization became possible, but something wonky happened to the coloring on the Death's Knell with this change. The default coloring is now two-tone dark blue and dark grey, as opposed to the light blue-dark blue-chrome tri-tone coloring that was available before. The new version looks much worse, and there's no way to get it looking the way it used to with the available colorization options. I doublechecked, and the model that appears when you click on "Buy 'Mech" still looks like the old version, but when I go to the one in my MechLab, it looks much worse.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Start the Game
2) Go to MechLab
3) Click on an empty 'Mechbay
4) Select "Buy 'Mech"
5) Select the Death's Knell
6) Observe how badass it looks
7) Buy the 'Mech
8) Observe how it looks like a big blue poop.

I know it's probably a low priority as I doubt anyone who isn't a die-hard Commando fanatic like myself bought the damn thing, but please fix my Megaman 'Mech! I spent real money on it and I wish it looked as cool as it did when I got it, even if it's decidedly worse than my 2D. I'm sure players who were buying it for the first time would be pretty frustrated seeing how significantly the appearance changes between the advertising and the actual in-game model.

TL;DR Death's Knell doesn't look like it's supposed to, the one in the store still does, the new version is worse. Please change it back.


Thanks for your time.

Here are some screenshots to highlight the difference:

Note in particular the cool two-tone blue pattern on the old head vs the ugly gray and navy version on the new one.

Here's another picture of the older non-ugly version in action.

I know there are more pressing balance concerns to everyone but I felt like this was a small detail that bugs me a lot.

Just gotta ask, did you also submit a support ticket with details and screenshots attached?

Good luck with resolution.

Didn't think to try that. Will do.
