It may seem pointless and even petty in many respects but I feel this is somewhat justified given the amount of money charged for, by CCP, and exploited out of me as a Oceanic PSN users, but I am seriously let down by the lack of effort put into the Faction Pack, specifically for the Amarr.
Initially after reading the description of the Amarr faction pack, this being
"The imperial looks and heavy firepower of the Amarr faction are yours with this complete set of dropsuits and gear, including the golden 'Imperial Guard' ak.0 assault suit that stands out among the others and 'Stormvein' Carthum assault scrambler rifle. Your mercenary is armed for today and prepared for the future, with 100 copies each of both advanced and prototype versions of every item in the pack."
As stated https://dust514.com/news/2014/02/new-in-the-marketplace-february-25-2014/
I feel somewhat disappointed at the lack of effort put into the reskin of the content for this package.
Now firstly let me state that I by no means am requesting renumeration for the packs I bought, far from it, the content within functions as effectively as any other, and I wish to support this game, since I do in fact love it. However my issue stands simply with the lack of effort put into the reskinning of these suits
Now admittedly I am very vain, and even the chance to make use of, and Favourite the so called "Golden Imperial Guard" dropsuit was very exciting, even the possibility of simply having, as a sort of collectible, the "Imperial Guard" Assault suit, as I have almost all of the other limited/aurum edition Amarr dropsuit content, was reason enough to purchase the pack.
However when viewing the items I felt hugely let down with the results.
Initially one might have been expecting a colour scheme befitting the Imperial Navy- the Platinum/Silver and Black Patterns
Or maybe something akin to a Templar Suit, modified slightly- Reds and Silvers, or even Golds
But what we received was not even close to being remotely what the blurb for the pack stated.
There was no gold on any dropsuit in the package.
The "Imperial Guard" A/1 cannot even be remotely called golden. Its is a dull and drab green/yellow, unbefitting the Amarr, and of course ruining the image of the dropsuit.
The "Imperial Guard "Ak.0 was simply put, and disgustingly so, not even reskinned, a barely concealed "Neo" Ak.0 with a slight orange?
ORANGE FOR Gods damn sake CCP what it is with you and bloody orange? The ******* Protectorate suit is bloody orange now, yet another suit that godawful colour has ruined for me.
My simple question is why bother is the result are going to be so visually unappealing, and also lack lustre, had they been simle "neo" skins I would not have been disappointed, but the fact that the colours were changed even slightly, and to such poorly chosen, and anaesthetically pleasing is frustrating.
I fail to understand the significance of Orange and the inability to produce a pleasant looking golden, or even silver colour.
Now my Issue here is two fold.
Not only was the content released missing the Gold, mentioned, and promised in the blurb, not present in the content that I paid for. This being my primary concern.
But additionally I only served to make me concerned that barely put any effort into the content release as small as it maybe, and as simple as that would have been to incorporate.
I want to keep supporting Dust financially, and as a regular player, but this content release, only needing a simple reskin and adherence to the promises made in the blurb attached to have made this a resounding success. However CCP, as a customer I am rather dissatisfied with the purchase as a whole, not because of costs, or some such reason, but simply because the small little bits of effort were not present in this release.

I feel you. Why buy things for cosmetic reasons if the cosmetics aren't up to par? This a minor thing, but do you remember the Ruby-gold "Burnscar" Khanid pistol? It's an Aurum PRO level Scram pistol, but it's just a straight-up AUR replacement (the fitting stats are the same and it still requires PRO skills).
I paid real money for the Burnscar because I liked the idea of the Ruby-gold Scrambler Pistol (even though EVE-wise, that's more of a Carthum color-scheme). However, the gun no longer has any special texture/color. A gun whose only purpose was literally being a different color... looks no different. It's not even sold anymore either. I made bug threads... I assume off-market goods are low priority though.
I sure hope the Amarr vehicles are a rhapsody of golden curves when we finally get them. The Amarr vehicles in EVE are the sexiest thing ever, and it would be sad to not have that.
Dren and Templar equipment stats, wrong since release.

Bump. I somewhat would like some form of acknowledgement. I wouldn't have minded if they hadn't even tried, that is simply better than half assing something.

Do not purchase it yet. I am very interested in receiving a response from CCP in regards to this. Its not a matter of trying and failing to achieve something, its a matter of not having tried at all. And that is what is upsetting.

Goddamnit CCP! I was literally just about to go buy this pack but figured hey maybe I'll peruse the forums one more time; lo and behold, blatant false advertising.
"the golden 'Imperial Guard' ak.0 assault suit that stands out among the others"
Why do you say its golden when its not golden? Gah, so close to being outraged. SO CLOSE.
But, I will wait for a hopeful fix; Adamance tell me when they give you your gold suit, only then will I buy this pack like I planned to do previously.
On a side note, tell me about the Viziam Forge Gun True. I'm surprised nobody else noticed an Amarr corporation made Forge Gun sold in the Amarr Faction pack

As will I. This is something I am not going to let go of without a decent response. I'm not necessarily demanding a golden suit, simply a Dev acknowledgement of the issue as I see it, and my opinions in regards to further buying such packages will hinge on the response.

It's not about demanding a goddamn golden suit, its about buying a pack that sells a goddamn golden suit and it not being a goddamn golden suit!
Btw, Viziam Forge Gun?? True??

You can confirm this is the case?
If so then I am hugely disappointed that someone so badly, poorly, and without thought made such minor cosmetic changes and thought that would fly with paying customers who were expecting a certain standard of quality and pride in work.

Can any other Faction Combat Packs confirm alternate vanity colour schemes?
Blue Caldari or Red Minmatar?

I am still rather concerned about this and would appreciate a response even if dismissive, otherwise will submit tickets on my many characters across the board until a meaningful response it achieved.

How disappointing. And the Templar stuff is so pretty....
(the Templar sentinel is totally blinged out so they obviously do have a gold skin available.)

There is no trick, I simply bought and paid for them on the NZ PSN , it would seem EU and NA are having issues with the purchases.

I know it may sound silly, but I too also only bought the Amarr Faction Pack because it said "golden assault ak.0." This is false advertisement and I am really upset. I don't want a refund, I just want the golden suit I was promised.
Mail me in game if interested in learning about the Amarr Empire and serving them in Faction Warfare.
