I spent 5,000 MC on colours I get to keep permanently.

I spent 250MC on camos that are not permenant. Make camo unlocks permenant across ALL chassis, I might spend another 5,000 MC or more on those too.

As to your point, I do not find these prices over the top. many colours are only 250MC or 500MC, and it is all "fluff", nothing to do with ingame performance. As they are permenant, it is worth it imho, and keeps everyone from buying every single colour, so diversity is here.

250-500 is reasonable, i´d buy quite alot for that price...not all at once, but over time... but 1000, i agree with OP...nope... for a colourplate/package maybe, not for a single colour... it just doesn´t fit the picture for me

ahm sorry, disagree here... the less colours people buy (usually the cheaper ones) the lessdiversity you will see... currently most people use red/black/white... the PC gamer colours... make all colours 250-500, and diversity will increase... my guess

Black, gray, and red are permanently unlocked via the PC Gamer skin.
Rather than buy additional colors with MC, I'm simply going to wait for future promotions like this.

Then start shopping, because at this time you have:

5 colours for cbills
18 colours for 250 MC
48 colours for 500 MC
57 colours for 1000 MC

Or to summarize for you: 71 colours in your price range.

Seriously this whining about nothing...

[Drakenn]

Don't if you don't want to....I don't think it is that much, considering it is unlocked permanently after you buy it...that's just me though

doubt they will ever repeat that oversight

they even changed the color well after the skins were out to make it not give a pure version of those 3 colors

The patterns are still too expensive at 10 times the single use cost. I would pay that if I could apply them to all my Mechs that have that particular pattern (not just one chassis). Right now there's no point, specially because a rarely keep more than three variants of each Mech (usually just two)

The colors are ok, I've been buying some and intend to buy more in the long run.

I actually like the system.

My only complaint is I've attempted to copy some other paint schemes I have seen people make. The downside is they appear significantly different in my game then the images they post. So I am not sure if their graphics settings are better then mine because I maxed mine out and it made no difference.

The best example I can give is the Tiger camouflage. I see people who use it have the base color, the strip color and the internal stripe color. These designs are amazing. However when I do it all it appears to be one color with minor splotching.

Here's a cropped image of Budor's Centurion from this thread:



And this is my attempt at it with everything on very high (but post processing):


If you notice the colors are more washed and less detailed the Budors. Right now I can't really fathom it at all.

If it helps I am using this for my set up:
Intel Core i7 920 CPU
Dual XFX Radeon HD5770 1GB DDR5 GPU's
12GB (6x2GB) 1600MHz RAM
ASUS X58 Sabertooth Mainboard
13-1 ATI Drivers

You must have textures on low or something is seriously wrong. Even on medium it looks better than that.

I actually have never uninstalled the game. I never, ever had any game killing bugs that warranted it. I am checking to see if this fixes it. However I looked for a cache folder and couldn't find it. Where would it be?

Again everything is/was on high. With the sole exception of post processing.

[Butane9000]

This is how I have my settings set.




I uninstalled and re-installed the game.

I deleted the sub folder in the cache folder at this location:
C:/Games/Pirahna Games/MechWarrior Online/USER/Shaders/Cache

And my mechs still look like this:


I honestly have no idea whats wrong.

What do they look like when you raise Post Processing up to High as well?

There's no change. I do however see further then normal while playing in game (distance wise).

Edit: Uninstalled and deleted all remaining folders. Has had no effect. Does anyone have a custom user.config file that might fix this issue?

Edit 2: This is what it looks like with post processing maxed out as well

Your client is definitely using the lowest quality textures. Did you modify the system.cfg or user.cfg? Otherwise all I can think of is to update your graphics drivers to the latest version. Failing that you should probably discuss it with support@mwomercs.com because not only is it off-topic for this thread but it might be a bug they'd like to know more about.

I have not modified the system or user config files. I will send in a support ticket because I've tried everything on my end except adjusting the config files manually because I am not that knowledgeable on setting it up myself.

Do that. Also I just checked in game and you might even be slightly worse off than what I see on the lowest settings:

That isn't encouraging. I sent off an e-mail to support. I'll get back to this thread on what they say.

[HybridHooker]

Just the fact every mech went to a crap colour was pretty annoying, even tho i had done up most of my mechs, the payoff they did honestly didnt seem right??? either way they could have given a couple crap colours just to make it look kind different... yes ive gone and rebought a bunch of colours, and the camo specs. But I have used more MC then I previously had for the same outcome...

What about the mechs we have overpaid for that have there special paint jobs, couldnt they at least unlock those colours too like the fang, Yen ect...????

[Sir Prometheus]

I guess my point is, is that I might be very likely to actually spend more, or really participate in the system at all, if the cost per color were cheaper. As it is, at $5 a color, my general reaction is "pass".
