Wouldn't this be a nice little item the devs can put in the game. This way people can then paint the armor the way they like and it would be one less little thing you have to worry about when crafting armor. Plus the whole factory armor color bug wouldn't have exsisted..

It has been suggested several times, however nothing seems to happen with it :/

All we can do is to hope that the Devs will include this in the game in the future...

So we keep hearing from alot of people. I'm actually kinda supprised this idea hasnt been picked up on. I mean you could make it pretty much a knockoff of say the artisan vehicle colour kits. And then it would be there for those who want it.


Course on the other hand some folk are against such an idea. Personally i'm kinda neutral, if only because I've had some customers buy a suit, only to turn around and order a second suit but to a pallet of their choice.


More often than not though most people havent a clue the scope of colours one can use on armor. Unless it's RIS I usually tell them to just pick a colour and if I cant do it I suggest the next closest or something.

One AS comment almost had me on the fence about this issue, but my balance & has always been bad. I stand alot better on solid ground.


He mentioned the Tailors are in a similar situation & clothes coloring kits would ruin their profession, reducing them to factory bots that just churn out piles of gear & eventually drain their enjoyment of their prof away thru millions of redundant factory runs. I wouldn't want my AS's to fall in any kind of loop like that.


I still want armor color kits, but I think we need some kinda comprimise that'll make the customers & AS's happy. They could make armor be recolored after crafting, but the resources to makethesekits would work in the same way as health enhancments & cores are gathered, then with enough rare or hard to get resources the Armorsmith could craft the kits. They would be temporary use the same as our vehicle paintjobs wearing out over time & throw in some feature that bad resources used in a armor coloring kit had a chance of breaking the the integrity of the armor, so applying this kind of kit might break the armor & we'd have to replace the piece. Or make the coloring kits actually some kind of powerup for armor, you are taking a chance to use these things & your armor will decay faster, but you'll get better mitigation & weapon speed for a limited time, you can even reapply the same color that the armor was originally colored, it's a powerup too more than just a coloring kit.


Before any of this could be implemented IG, someone has to fix our current armor decay rates, slow them down from what they are by 50%. Please, is anybody listening?

Hypothetical: You are a car maker, your scientists tell you they made a breakthrough. They can now make a car that will breakdown only 10% as often or soon as the present model. What do you do?


Answer: Fire your scientists, get dumber ones.

If the car has Customized NYC graphitti paintjob that caused 10% wear, I'd buy the De Tomaso Mangusta (1969), what do you think of that?

We need the crate bug fixed, new enhancers to allow for "real" custom armor (instead of "tailor" custom armor) and then paint kits.
