Seems like the founders 4G skin got fubared somewhere in this patch. Hope it gets fixed soon, because I've got a grey hunchie who used to be a pretty blue.

[bloodybones jones]

i have this bug also

[Redshift2k5]

If it's any consolation, my repaintable Founder Catapult looks damn sexy.

[Billygoat]

I'd really like an option to continue to use the original founders' skins back for these mechs (non-repaintable is fine). The Hunchie is probably the one I use most out of the founders' mechs and I've been dreading its turn at the paint shop. It looked great before, now it doesn't.

Regardless of this particular example of PGI's fine internal testing with the Hunchback, the new skins are fugly no matter what colour you paint them.

^ This.

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure the majority of people would rather have an option to customize their mech colours.

I always hated that I couldn't change the colours of my founder mechs.

Well this happened to me too. Can't revert to the original founders colors because they put my PC Gamer red in one slot of the channel, and the ugly yellow in the other.

Hey Dev's, can we get a hotfix for this today?

[Airborne Thunder]

It is clearly a mistake soon to be fixed. I just hope they finish the Atlas before launch day. How amateur would it look to have Founders mechs mismatched from day 1. Not a good first impression for this huge influx of new customers PGI seems to think are going to be rushing to throw money at them for the new 3rd person view addition. Yeah, I'm still bitter. I wish they would give us our original colors back. They were way better.

They don't care enough about this sort of thing to hotfix it. Founders are not high on their list of priorities. It took them months between the Founders Catapult to even bother with the Hunchback (as messed up as it is).

I've got this too, and declare it to be a load of balls.

[Gozer]

Mine was a nice neon green. Seems it switched to whatever color the "highlight" color was before patch. Good to know I'm not the only one.

[BulletChief]

this sucks!

i want the founder's colour back...

in adition it would be nice to actually be able to SELECT the founder colour... once you change it, it's gone forever!

don't you forget who funded you first, PGI!!

[Redjack3]

I wish PGI would have at least given us a heads up about this in the patch notes. Something like "HBK-4G(F) camo spec will be messed up temporarily. We're bringing you the ability to fully customize your camo like we did for the JR7-D(F) and CPLT-C1(F)."

It's the little things like communicating with your customers that keep us happy.

When it's working properly (not now lol), you can change the colours on the Founders and Hero mechs, and the default colour will always be retained. All you normally have to do to get the original colour back, is go back into camo spec, double click on the particular colour in question and it will return to default.

Hopefully they fix this soon.

[C E Dwyer]

A while back after complaints from the founders about only being able to change the thin lines, in colour, they said they would slowly revise the camo for founders mechs.

jenner and cat have been done I guess this is their idea of a good unique design for the hunchback..

the first two were quite good, and on the whole better than the old and gave a choice of three colours

This latest, if its not a rushed bug/botch up, sucks monkey balls.

Still founders are a vocal minority now and not catered for

[StimCity]

Having just returned after a leave of absence (game much improved, although all the kiddies in-game are a bit depressing) I was wondering why my founders Hunchie was looking like a battered old JCB - I guess I should be reassured that it's a bug..?

Regarding Founder in general, apparently my hunchie caused quite a stir earlier as nobody in the game new what the (F) was for

[Airborne Thunder]

I asked Russ in game and he said that the hunch will be fixed on the 17th. Only a week away. No biggie.

[Zergax]

I really hope they fix this damn thing because now i lost all the highlights on my mech and its just an ugly as **** colour of yellow.
PS dont know about you guys but basic founders blue isint in my unlocked colours like any other except PC gamer and the few C-bills one i got

Edit: Founders colours are still there if double click on the colour they are kinda saved as secondary

As long as PGI fixes this soon I won't be too mad. I don't fancy piloting a workmech, which is what it now resembles.

Though I suppose one could throw jokes with "Under Destruction" now...

Sigh. Yeah, I want my hunchback with its colors back.
