All clan mech default camo patterns have HUGE areas that cannot be painted. No IS mech to my knowledge has this problem. I can paint my IS mechs just fine with the default camo pattern, while all clan mechs just look like some kid thought it would be funny to paint them with mohawks and leave the rest of the mech unpainted.

The night gyr used to be the only clan mech that you could fully paint with the default camo pattern, now the default camo pattern looks like total garbage. It literally looks like a guy with a fat colored head walking on metallic stilts.

If you don't like the default THAT much, what's preventing you from slapping on something like the "Crusader" or "Raider" one-shot camo for like 75 MC?

'goes to look at my Night Gyr's'



The hell, PGI? I actually enjoyed the fact that I could paint it fully without the old silver crap. Now all of my Gyrs looks... well, idiotic.

What is your first reaction when you see a bland, gray colour on most areas on a Mech you enjoy? Probably along the lines of, "I'll buy a camo pattern for it to make it look better." That is the intention here, to answer your question.

Except is seems odd it is only on clans, and only certain Clan mechs too.

Considering they just changed the Night Gyr, I have a feeling they're going to go through and do it to the remaining "offenders" now. Which really sucks.

Op, what does it matter when most high level players make the game look like this anyways:

[Tristan Winter]

Between you and me, I wish I could buy gunmetal as a colour. And chrome.

[GrimRiver]

It made me sad they nerfed the NTG body paint, now it looks like a sad sack bland clan bumpkin.

Not only that it's paint got nerfed, it's textures look lower rez too.

[RoadblockXL]

One way of balancing Clan omnimechs against IS battlemechs is to make their default paint patterns look like butt.

[Verkhne]

and it contributes to the perception of "clan is op" The mechs look so garbage in all but matching dark colours that the resulting mechs have a huge advantage on Grim Plexus, HPG and Caustic (there may be more) PGI has forced good camo on clanners , but they wont show us the metrics

By that logic both IS and clan mechs would have the same ****** unpainted areas for default camo patterns, but only clan mechs are getting singled out for some reason...

I ain't takin' my lurms off. You can't make me.

[Trollfeed]

Bought a night gyr yesterday and was surprised at complete good looking paintjob. Didn't get to enjoy it for long.

And let the man lurm in peace. At least I felt dirty whole time when I played it as a PPFLD poptart, it's just so disgustingly good.

So you can fill it up with Bling! aka Decals.

[Bombast]

It reflects how ugly all clanners are on the inside. What is within, is now without.

[Revis Volek]

Actually it kinda fits the clanner style, Its wasnt about how your mech looked but about how it performed and that it killed freebirth scum.


Paint is unnecessary and a waste, all you need is guns, ammo and the deckel of your brethren.

Hmm... is this a trick question? 75MC?

No... my first thoughts are... okay so my thoughts I wish to share are; them deckals, camos, paints etc are too much already. I'm not planning to spend additional MC on each of clan mechs to make them pretty. I rotate though mechs fairly quickly - many just to unlock skills, master, then on to the next mech... and then there is the nerf bat of dust collecting mechs always threatening around the next patch... so meh - GG Close.
