Makes me want to cry myself to sleep. I dislike it.

Although not nearly as dark as the Jenner, the old paint schemes grew on me, or me onto them.

Well, the fact that the Devs are changing something -after- we've purchased it without an option to keep the original smacks of something I've seen in other games. Basically, they replace a paint scheme people like or can work under with something intended to force them to buy new paint schemes in order to keep playing that unit. A kind of extortion, really.

That this is coming out of left field completely without warning makes me wonder if this is the Dev's intent, and going to happen to all mechs one by one to 'encourage' players to pay for paints.

As for the new paint scheme, it is basically slate dull blue with dull white missile doors and cockpit area. Sort of a discarded, worn look instead of the clear, sharp pattern of markings and detail of the original (and other Founders mechs). Obviously intended to make Founders Cat users either stop using their mechs or buy new patterns with MC.

The missile launcher doors don't seem to be attached to the mech anymore. Moving it around in the mech lab causes them to wobble phasing in and out of the launchers.

Is it just possible.. that in trying to be "creative", they got too cute? That's what this trend for the Founders mechs is sounding like.

For those of us WITHOUT Founders' 'mechs, can someone post a pic so we know what you're talking about?

It looks dirty and covered in soot. The colors don't even look close to the same as they were and many of the details seem lost..

You DESTROYED the hard texture work you did on it before... It wasn't perfect, but it looked really good before. I REFUSE to believe that the same people that made that previous skin did the work converting it, I just can't.

Sigh... come on PGI. Do you need an QA tester with better keen eyes for these visual textures? I'll be happy to help, but come on...

No, you're not. I personally never liked the original founders colors, and the original skins didn't really convey that "used" look as well.

Having the option to change the founders paint scheme is good, but what they did to the original camouflage is entirely unacceptable! I paid for it, I demand it back!

Again I think there's too much greying out going on. I like the idea, but the execution is not quite there. Crisp up the 'dirt', use a little less mudying, add some bright scratches and tone up the contrast.

I will say, though, it's not just the founder's skins that are suffering from being too dark and over layered, though. Many skins make it really difficult to see colour variation due to added shading over the colours (more so in mech lab than in match. lighting issues maybe?)

Love the new cockpit, do not want the new colour.

Old paint scheme with new cockpit please.

I miss the patch with the bugged black texture on the cockpit area.
Made me feel like my Cat had sunglasses. :)
