I feel you. Why buy things for cosmetic reasons if the cosmetics aren't up to par? This is 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.

I disagree. It's not minor, is a major thing. It's the defining feature of their business strategy. If the game isn't pay to win (it shouldn't) then the only reason to spend money on micro transactions is for cosmetic purposes. If they can't get that right then their business model is fatally flawed. How can they expect income if their cosmetic differences are less pleasing than the basic stuff in game. We games are a vain lot, and will spend hard earned cash for the simplest of visual differences....provided they're appealing to the eye! Not these vomit green smgs, Orange drop suits and "ruby gold" pistols that are indistinguishable from the AUR version... this is a major issue and should be treated as such!

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 The Sinwarden

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?? The Sinwarden

In order they are the Ak.0, the A/1, and finally in comparison the Templar Sentinel.....which for those of you who own them or have seen them on the battlefield know that the golden colour scheme is down pat. Now my camera is not all that good, but the actual colour of the A/1 is a drab green/yellow colour, which by comparison does not resemble the Gold of the Templar Suit at all. So due to my cameras poor quality compare the Sentinel Armour plating scheme with the A/1 and you will see that colours do not align even slightly. Goddamnit that is not gold! but that A/1 looks KINDA cool, slightly tickles my fancy. I'm contemplating getting it anyway... should I true? The Sinwarden

A simple Dev answer even several words long would suffice to tell me whether or not I will be supporting Dust 5`4 financially in the future. As it stands I personally feel very dissatisfied with the Amarr colour schemes, and as a proud players of Dust, and an Amarr loyalist, I was happy to have bought the packs to support CCP. However this poor quality effort is what is giving me such misgivings. If the developers cannot adequately colour the dropsuits of the racial groups they created with visually appealing and appropriate colours they are failing to meet their basic obligations to fans and collectors. Bump for dev response Theres not much else to be said The Sinwarden

Yet the Amarr get shafted? This will not fly. Sending another round of support tickets today. Check whether or not the other packs' description coincides with what you recieve. But as it stands what is given to the amarr is said to be gold and yet is not even close The Sinwarden**

I'll gladly support this game but its ridiculous that CCP has failed again to make good on very reasonable customer demands. Why are FW suits incoherent with their EVE side colour themes? Why were previous AUR suit (Firebrand, Raven, etc) colours changed? Why are we not able to pay to change our; -race -gender -merc quarters Why can't we display corp logos on vehicles or dropsuits? Why can't I show off my AUR weapons in the war barge? Can I buy a pink beam for my laser rifle? Could we get some sort of pallette or paint bucket? I wonder would sales be better if they put in some effort? ^ This, why all of this?! The Sinwarden

(This is coming from a guy who only wears Matari Frames btw) I hear the matari Factional pack suits are pretty ballin. Honestly I wish they would've just said the Imperial Guard suits are white with burnt orange instead of gold. I admit that I saw the picture of the Imperial Guard suit on the market place which does in fact show what color the suit actually is but I refused to believe that when CCP said gold they meant white and burnt orange.. I'm going to keep bumping this till it gets a blue tag, if its a regarding a lock then I'll copy paste adamance's post and repost it. Bump! The Sinwarden

That then is unacceptable because a significant number of those who purchased this pack did so believing the Gold suits were going to be delivered. Regardless my complaint is directed more at the lack of effort put into the Amarr suits. The Caldari, Minmatar, and Gallente all have fitting and aesthetically pleasing and suitable of their race....the Amarr however do not. Wow really? wow.... wow.... Sigh.... Bump. Still not satisfied CCP, not in the slightest. Goddamn it if you guys cant bust out the paint bucket to change a few textures around then let us do it ourselves, I'll even goddamn pay you to do it.
