Why? Why would anyone spam? Spam gets ignored, deleted and/or locked, you do not really help this noble cause by spamming in every forum. I told you this the last time when you created like 20 threads about the Spider in every forum section.

Back to topic: Yeah, the Paints are awesome, but more customization is even more awesome, so +1 from me (but keep the geometry!)

I support this and for wholly different reasons. As a Christian, some of the mechs, such as the Firebrand, have openly ******* (sat an ic) symbols on it, and I'm not one to impose my values on others, but I feel like the opposite is being done to me in this case.

I doubt it is meant to be "sat-ani-stic" tho, more like the pilots painting their hero-mechs to look fearsome. And considering what Firebrands used to do to other mechs when they were released one could really think they were coming "straight from hell", with all the pain they dished out

Anyways, valid point!

I would so like to be able to change the artwork on hero Mechs. I was looking forward to my free Atlas, Centurion and Kingcrab until I saw the artwork on them on them. It's not that it isn't done well, I just don't like the whole Norse theme. Also I don't own a Pretty Baby or a Firebrand because of the Satanic imagery (No I'm not part of Seraphim). I'd buy these Mechs if I could dump the skin. I'm not worried about having to have every camo available, 1 artwork free alternative would be fine. As for the Clan wave 2, not being able to put the cool Faction Camo on your prime variants just sucks. It make the 30% bonus not so attractive and makes me wonder why I shelled out so much money for preorders.

Please PGI let us ditch the artwork on hero Mechs and be able to apply Clan skins to all Clan Mechs, even the Prime Variants!

How many times do they have to post it, so that people stop asking for that ?

They stated this weeks ago, the Clan Camos will apply to all Clan Mechs (+ Invasion ones) but they just don't have the time to create the skins for the Wave 1 Mechs right now.


Still +1 to the Original Post tho.

[Ryoken]

Yes great news! Ego Slayer pointed out that we got confirmation of the Invasion mechs will be getting camo support for the faction skins! This is AWESOME and definetly another step of PGI in the right direction! So much waiting to get rid of my Invasion mechs "racecar camo" and bear the proud clan faction colors on them! Keep the camo options for FHPILR-Mechs coming PGI, the fans are simmering with excitement!

Special Note: Wave 2 faction skins will be place able on your special "Invasion" version of your Wave 2 mechs, however it will likely trail the Dec 16th patch by 1 or 2 patch cycles. On Dec 16th those faction skins will work with the 4 Wave 2 mechs as well as the Mad Dog. Further into the future the faction skins will be retrofitted to work with all Wave 1 mechs.

Just because it's technically possible doesn't mean they should do it.

You voluntarily purchased 'Mechs that explicitly stated they were unique with special patterns/geometry/whatever.

Now you want those unique 'Mechs to not be unique any more? Why?

The people complaining about this evidently know nothing about collecting anything. You just bought an Indianapolis 500 Pace Car painted up all nice and special, and you want to sand-blast it down to bare metal/fiberglass/plastic/whatever, then paint it blue. You know, because the unique paint job is so darn ... "limiting." It's just cramping your style in a big way.

Gosh darn-it, I want my cake and I want to eat it! It's not about having a different cammo pattern on a unique mech, its about having the ability to if I want to. If they allowed other patterns, I would still probably keep the unique pattern (cause I'm a cheap *******) but I would know that if I wanted to, I could change the pattern to something else

[Lead Sponge]

I would really appreciate this. It actually want to spend money on the game, and since I can't paint up my standard Battlemaster or Wolverine in a camo spec I want, I find myself not buying camo patterns for my other variants. I just can't make the mech I want to pilot look like I want. Being forced to have your Phoenix and Invasion patterns on my mechs actually reduced the chance that I'll buy a special set.

Though, I think hero mechs should have to keep their camo patterns. They're special and should be treated that way.

Overall though, PGI is missing out on cash by not doing this, and I wish they'd just shut up and take my money.

Boggles my mind that 20 people actually voted "NO, don't let anyone change the look of the 'mech they paid money for!"

[color=#959595]Current camo choices are "single use" or "unlock for all" (of a given chassis)[/color]

[color=#959595]There is no "unlock permanently for one specific variant" option for 350MC.[/color]

[color=#959595]So you potentially either have to unlock the hero`s camo spec for the entire chassis line, making it lose indivuduality. Or you put applejack over your Firebrand and will never have the firebrand scheme again.[/color]

[color=#959595]Becasue other than hardcoding the camo to the chassis or said third (unavailable ) option, teh 2 current options would do nothing but cause angry mails to support from users who lost their Hero camo by mistake, or are pissd of fthat every highlander is now pink and white becasue everone with a `Metal is using the free camo on all his Highlanders[/color]

Uh, what? Those are not the only two camo options - you forgot the Default patterns. The special camo pattern of Hero 'mechs IS "hardcoded to the chassis," because it is one such Default type, not a one-shot. And it replaces the Default camo present on other variants of that chassis. There is no issue. You would buy whatever other patterns you want to put on your Hero, then if you wanted to switch back, you'd just select the Default pattern again. Just like with any other 'mech.

Also, tangentially related, but - I WANT THAT HEAVY METAL MAGENTA ON MY OTHER 'MECHS!!! Although we can't apply Hero patterns to other variants, which is all well and good, I DO think that Hero COLORS should be applicable on other 'mechs, especially since some of them (such as the Heavy Metal's primary color) are not available any other way.

nope - at least Hero Mechs should be even simpler - because they don't have "special geometry" - don't understand how a "handle" could be called special geometry

would be the same if:

would only be filled half or the beer got some turquoise coloring - because it has a special geometry

Yes I also do not understand those people. Seems we got some really envios people around that do not want others to have fun with painting their mechs... this is so... very low...

And on the other hand, I read that we were able to put camo patterns on some of the special mechs yesterday:
http://www.reddit.co...h_custom_camos/

Has anyone experienced this as well? Made any pictures of those sweet special 30% C-Bill bonus mechs we could farm credits and enjoy our favourite patterns with at the same time? =)

Maybe PGI is finally realizing they let money lay on the street by not allowing paying custumers to customize their favourite mechs! Oh I hope we will get camo support on special mechs some day... Maybe PGI started experimenting allready!

Please add patterns to special variants, pretty please! With sugar and clanners on top?

[Serpentbane]

I do not agrea, special edition mechs should remain special edition, including patterns.
