Doesn't show very well as the blue and black are blended.

makes me a little sad that the claws are not part of the deal, for color channels. Change the knotwork to a different color...and the ones on the claws stay yellow. And the claws, the same metallic.

Ah well, first world problem, indeed!

because business case, every Money spend needs to bring Money +X amrge back.

yet the hero mechs are unique by havign an unique geometry as well. Which means you cna not simply put the same skin on them. And so they probably are not going to put some hours into that work, since it seems not to do the business case.

Yet I do think at least the clan camos and housecamos should be remade to work on hero mechs.

Ah, got to love it when a Neckbeardicus and Captain Fedora ooze onto the scene to let everyone know how offended and upset they are about how a culture finds something or other offending or upsetting. It would be funnier if it wasn't so very sad.

Every mech has at least 3 variants, for which they had to create a camo map. Some mechs have 5 variants.
But not every mech chassis has a hero version, so we're talking just a handful of hero mechs that require additional camo maps compared to the dozens and dozens of jobs they had to do to cover every single variant of every mech that players can purchase for free.

But for paying customers, we're stuck with just one camo?

This makes no sense from a business standpoint, from a design standpoint, or from a potential profit standpoint.

Unless someone from the design team comes to this thread and gives an outstanding explanation of why they can't do it because X reason prevents them from some technical standpoint, this will continue to be a hot issue.

So far, I have seen no one from PGI give a crap about this. I wonder again if going to 3rd party social media is necessary to get issues noticed from their own forums.

That's ugly. It looks like he had brain surgery and they forget to staple the skull back on.

I want to use more hero/invasion mechs but I don't because a big draw for me was painting Mechs king crab hero is particularly fuglysome to the point where I wont use it.

It would be good for PGI to take the time to revisit work and polish it in general. Or allow the community to do it for them if they don't wish to expend the resources (esp for things like skins)
