Thread: Petition to add Armor Color Kits

I know you guys have seen the factory crate mishaps. This isn't the first time we have had issues with Armor color being irregular hence we had the composite "customize color" option for the last year or so. Well let's just say I am tired of these issues re-surfacing. I amtired of hand crafting everything to get the colors right. And I am tired of color palette limits and issues which make no sense.


Instead of allowinga radial option to fix current armor and enable it on some pieces, types or portions and mess with that coding, let us get back to thinking about COLOR KITS.


It is an additional item to craft, an additional item to sell, and it will make people happy that have the mismatched colorized armor now as well as promote new armor sales.


I propose we get the ball rolling and ask for ARMOR COLOR KITS as a fix to the current issue and as a future item to sell/craft and have. Would like to get some support behind this from the armorsmithing community.


Be well.

Heh, I remember a few other SOE promises, too. Guess we just have to see if consumer-based colorization fits in with the "vision" that a few certain red names have for armor.


While I definitely hope so, I'm not exactly optimisitc about our chances.

This is an excellent solution to all the damn woes about color of armor.


Can even make is craftable at Novice so that new armorsmiths will have a viable product like the upgrade kits.

I remember these exact same petitions a year ago. Look what that got us.


But w/e. I'll sign. It's still a good idea, even though the Dev's have ignored it.

well it was more then a promise, really, in the design features when they where going over the new armor system, one of the thigns they had included was coloring kits, I really don't know what happened to them, but I'm guessing fell through the cracks when it was all pushed out so fast.

Well, that's good to know. Really, colorization kits are a "no-brainer" in terms of adding craftable items that would be beneficial to players.


Now, where should the schematic be granted? I know a lot of folks would say Novice Armorsmith, or maybe somewhere in the Techniques line. I could also see it going to Tailors or Master Artisans. I really don't care where it goes ... I just want the onus of coloring lifted from my shoulders.

Don't care where it the schema is granted either, as long as someone gets to craft it.

I get a ton of custom armor orders and only a few of those are because of color so I don't think it would hurt you at all. Besides that, how much armor have you thrown away because it wasn't just the right color? I've had customers go away unhappy because I couldn't get just the right shade of purple on their marauder arm pieces even though I could get it on the marauder chest (different palette problem). This is total crap. The basis of identity in ANY online game is being able to customize your own look.

So if it isn't obvious, I'm signing this.
