Well it would help if they would tell you these things, as i thought you could use the patterns on any of your Mechs once you Unlocked them.

This is just friggen great as now I have one mech with 4 patterns and will have to purchase the same patterns for any of my other Mechs.

It's just Not happening. This is rediculas for the price you pay for a paint job. It's no wonder so many don't paint their Mechs. And as I said the colors are only showing up now in MC though with C-Bills it cost a 1,500,000 or more for just one color. Money is way to hard to comeby in the game.

That was just so much wasted MC.

Sorry PGI i'm not made of money though i don't mind supporting a game that i play nearly on a constant basis. I won't be buying anymore patterns.

Politely message support. It is their fault that they don't explain that it only applies to one mech type (and even ignored the questions in this thread) and they should be able to refund you.

[Nightmare Virus]

MANY of the patterns I see are still registering as full price. One being Urban Block. Full price 750 -50% .. Still showing as 750MC in game

PGI, I highly recommend changing the patterns to unlock across all mechs when bought, not just a single chassis; I would have bought some during this sale if it weren't for that.

I did want to buy some patterns along with paints during this sale, but I think I'll just be buying paints instead, as they unlock for all my mechs.

WHAT IT ONLY UNLOCKS FOR ONE MECH????????????????????????????????

Ok refund time.

Go watch Path of Exile and learn how to ensure you player base is happy, you microtransations are bullshit.

This is it, I have returned been enjoying this game for the last week, bought all the packs you had to get me into the seat of some new stuff quickly. And you freaking camo patterns dont work on all mechs???

I will be refunding all of my purchases and uninstalling this again.

Done.

Looks like they work on all mechs of the same chassis; so buy it on an Awesome and the pattern will be unlocked for all Awesomes.

Making matters worse is that Hero mechs can't change their camo pattern; they are stuck with the one they come with.


Paints on the other hand, unlock for ALL mechs, and even Hero mechs can use them.

[delushin]

It should work on whatever you want to put it on, noted some you can't.

Garrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ......... I will see how I feel after I go rest a little.

[Motörhead]

very nice sale and it's obvious people are buying them, I see much more colors now.

one note tho, it would be very nice if you add a black and a white on sale too, they are often needed as fillers and you sell a lot too (would be instant buy for me and many others I guess).

[Catalina Steiner]

Thanks sooo much! I waited for this sale. Finally some mechs got a new camo and I bought some eagerly awaited cockpit items.

Am I happy? Yes I am.

While I continue to purchase many things in this game, one thing I disagree with are their camo/color pricing/limitations. Therefore my mechs would always be noob olive.
PGI had not changed settings/code just after clan wave 2 faction colors were released to package owners where they charged people to change colors even though they had "owned" these said colors though the packages. Also these camo patterns/colors were limited to only wave 2 mechs so their color and pattern pricing scheme is just too complicated for a simple nuclear engineer as myself. I would just want to either have colors sold permanently for MC for all chassis, or sold for cbills for a single chassis. And patterns to work the same way. Charge more for patterns if you want but have them apply to any owned mech, current and future, that has that pattern available.

Oh great Woodland and Polygone camo are on sale so I can finally put it on my mechs... oh wait...
I actually supported this game by buying founders, hero, phoenix, invasion and resistance packages... so yeah seems logic I GET PUNISHED and CAN NOT USE CAMO AT ALL!

Please PGI I beg you stop this madness and let paying customers also individualize their mechs!

I do not understand whoever came up with this lunatic idea to deny premium paint jobs on premium mechs?
PGI is practically kicking their most loyal customers in the face every time by denying individualization to the people that want to support this game on the mechs they want to play due to the C-Bill bonus.... come on WTF is going on???

[delushin]

So sad ... every pack except Phoenix plus 2x 25000 MC ... 1 camo essentially 1 mech /smash head into wall.

Absolute nubness and I say again PGI go learn from PoE which is a game I have put over $2000 in with a smile, I only just returned because of the 'good' changes, I admit I should have investigated more before buying all the crap I could as I think your hurting so much you wont refund all of it. Geeze if you need some cash for a good feed just say so ...

For those of us with 40+ mechs you are making a cool little customization option a pain in the ass. F2P games rely on micro transactions and I am cool with that, but your restrictions are over the top.

Its pretty time consuming to create the pattern for each variant, Hero's even harder if they have unique geometry.
They still haven't got around to making any camo at all for some newer mechs like Crabs, so I can understand why the Hero's are stuck on a permanant todo list.

The patterns are a whole detailed skin, not just a simple overlay wrap.

They could probably drop quality and produce rougher camo, but there would be complaints about how the patterns don't line up properly and how smaller pieces aren't patterned etc.
Still it would probably satisfy people. Call it "hillbilly spray can" and just basically randomly create patches of the three colors. Nobody can be too disappointed in the quality of that, discription makes it obvious what you are getting.

Really it's not. For example on the Phoenix mechs there are only some "bolt on" parts that even have their own textures, so standard camo patterns simply could be put on the Phoenix mechs.

On Founder mechs there are also only minor changes to the standard models like the beak on the Catapult and the Head on the Atlas. Hunchback and Jenner are even more similar to the standard models.

When it comes to the Invasion mechs the biggest differences are rounded instead of bulky legs. And Hero mechs are identical to the standard variants in most cases and just got different weapon options.

So they do not need to create a whole new detailed skin, they just need to adress those negligible changes. With the right setting of filters this could even be done automatically to adapt every skin to those parts. Or maybe let us switch to standard geometry on all 30% C-Bill bonus mechs so we can finally individualize the mechs we bought for money and want to play!

It's just a pain for every paying customer and PGI should be aware that over 90% of the Founders, Hero, Phoenix, Invasion and soon to be Resistance mechs user are dissatisfied with PGIs camo restrictions on premium mechs!

I would gladly buy camo patterns, but I can not use them and it is driving me nuts! I would pay 300€ in an instant if this would get me Woodland and Polygone camo options on my Invasion Stormcrow and Mad Dog!

[Bloodweaver]

Urban Block patterns never actually went on sale. Still showing as 750 MC.
