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.

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!

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.

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.

I have the back and front views of them.
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.

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.

Bumping. 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.

I feel this is very much more eloquent explaination.
Yes this is a very minor aspect to gripe about, but IMO its the little thing, the little bits of effort that go into something that often show how much a group producing a product cares about their work.
For example when I worked for an electrician/ handiman installing fencing for residential properties he would import from the US the same colour paints and laquers as original fencing. This ensure that even if a section of fencing was scratched or knocked over during installation we could cover the damage and make it look as new, even if scratches were a minor as a kid driving his Tonka into the fence he would ensure that the fence looked aesthetically please, and as what the client paid for.
As a result this drummed up plenty of repeat business and word of mouth reccommendations.
What CCP has failed to do is look at the small picture. They saw the big picture, racial FW combat packs with good content in it......but failed to look at the smaller aspects like appearance and design, the essential reasons that players would pay real money for their content over simply using ISK.

Who was it that thought this would be acceptable quality when I know that your technical capacity extends to acceptable Gold shades for dropsuits.

The M/1 is like the usual mk.0 but all the black is red and the mk.0 is a black suit with diffferent shades of red for all the armour/hadware.

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.
This serves as a good TL:DR for anyone that doesn't want to read the whole thing. You make good points in wanting what is advertised; color schemes should be as advertised. Submit a ticket I think under marketing if it exists; I vaguely remember seeing a marketing tab. This will let them know they are doing, even if by mistake, false advertising, and that they have to fix it.

Now i am not tech savvy at all so these are probably still sideways  but atleast you get to see it, they are both the same red its just differing amounts of light on them, these are the M/1 and the mk.0.

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 IS UNACCEPTABLE The Burnscar Khanid Scrambler Pistol is also supposed to be, and it says so in its item description, that its a ruby-gold colour.
ITS RED AND BLACK!

In all seriousness I demand an answer CCP, you cannot expect us to be content with false advertising and I am not here to demand a refund, no, I am here to demand that you give us the vanity items that you have described and on top of all that the vanity items that we want.

Indeed all other faction packs received a noticeable and aesthetically pleasing change..... we however did not and the suits were half assed.
Neither has my support ticket been answered by a GM or CCP employee.
Why does CCP refuse to address my issue?

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.
Hey, I'm a sucker for Dust514's, 'Military Rainbow'. I freaked out about the colors, but green AND orange? I agree that is a horrible combination.
This has nothing to do with what you just read.

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.

It has yet to be resolved and I dont even think GM's have responded to my support tickets.
I'll be resubmitting them every week to ensure a response from now on.

Fantastic, I would also like to get onto IRC.
Please CCP Sabrewing if you read this. I am not upset at price, content, etc only simply that compared to the other faction packs which received suitable re-skins the Amarr neither recieved a Golden suit as the blurd described, nor a fitting skin for their dropsuits.

I have determined possibly and easy reskin of the suits and would like to hear what any followers of this thread think.
If any have seen the Templar suits they know that the armour plating is primarily a rich golden, while the over coat is white with red detail. I suggest and inversion of the white and red at proto level and a simple over lay of the camo colour scheme on the A-1.

Its not buyers remorse functionally the pack provides me with everything I paid for except the aesthetic looks one would expect, and were promised in the description of the pack.

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.
