sooo... I really like the scorch paint. It's one of my only hero mechs that I didn't alter the colors because stock looks awesome to me.

guess that's just me though.

Did someone burn the actual paint job?

It looks pathetic. I feel bad for the people who bought this, I was close. If I did, I'd be quite upset.

I am sure by highlighting this thread it'll get addressed but at least someone official should acknowledge it.

Wait, this is the Hero mech? And you don't have all settings down to low, right?

No wonder I never noticed the hero ingame... man that looks awful. Even the 2013 dazzle camo looks better than that... I'd switch the camo instantly on it; I mean that is kinda emberassing to field that

Yeah.. It's ugly as $uck. Makes it even worse as I was really looking forward to fielding this and the collector camo (which isn't much better also).

I play on mostly low settings, but I keep model geometry and textures maxed out.

Honestly I wonder what happened there. Some of the very recent hero camos have been wonderful, you can get amazing metal sheen effects when you play with the colours on the Roc and the Sleipnir, for example.

I wonder if they released someone's half-finished work by accident, or whether there was a horrible crunch mode going on due to MechCon.

I asked Russ on Twitter about the camo... seeing if we can get an improvement. Doubt I'll hear back, but he DID respond about increasing the timer on FP when I asked, so crossing my fingers.

[Steve Pryde]

That looks really bad. It looks like from a game 15-20 years ago lol.

[JinSR]

Made a post about this before seeing this one..this is what I posted.

Firstly, it looks nothing like the colour scheme advertised.

The 'scorched' bits are not really vibrant enough to give it that toasty/smelted look

You can only change 1 colour on the pattern, why arent we allowed three like usual camos?

Overall I feel like the MAD-IIC has the worst camo patterns out of all the mechpacks I have seen, this includes the collectors special.

Really disappointing as I always felt PGI is always on point with the patterns/camos.

It be really nice if the devs will let us play around with the colours and be able to change the secondary and tertiary ones. /pray

I was going to order the Supernova champion because of the galaxy paint job. But if they botch the Scorch paint scheme this bad, I am so afraid that the Supernova galaxy will turn into some sort of sickly chicken pox paint.

So now I am going to wait till Feb. to see what it really looks like in game before any purchases.

Probably a wise choice. That one actually looks challenging to pull off.

The camo fail is the biggest reason I have not whaled around and gotten a Scorch.

Congratulations! You've now completed the initiation process of becoming a forum warrior by finally making a complaint! You chose well on where to finally speak up, because lord the Scorch looks bad. Here, have these pastries as a welcoming present.

I think the (S)'s camo is where they fumbled the ball other than trying to copy the 3055 TRO image colors, as well as giving the crusader as the unlocked. Yes I know its because Star adder was one of the Crusader clans... but still....mech looks like **** with the pattern I think.

Am I the only one that really loves the (S) camo? Every time I see it I get a huge urge to grab the .Marauder IIC finally. And what do you have against the Star Adder dekkle?
