Shaders...?

[[Bullet Club] TheDado771]

I'm just asking-
But why some of the shaders are so..crappy? I mean, why some of the shaders makes 0 sense with the preview? Like...they put a random color beside the color shown in the palette? Am i missing something?

Just a Destiny thing

When it comes to Destiny fashion the Shader and the armor both matter for how it's look will be.

Like a Shader will look completely different on an Armor Piece made of Metal compared to the same Armor Piece if it was made out of a different Material like Cloth.

You'll get used to it. At least you can easily preview how it looks on all your gear now

770 guns x 300 shaders = 200k ugly BS

Class matters too. If I equip a shader on my Hunter, it usually picks the darker colors in the mix for the larger swaths of armor, and reserves the brighter ones for accent pieces.

Whereas If I equip the same shader on my Titan, it uses the brighter bits on the larger sections of armor, and reserves the darker tones for the accent pieces.

Buuut.... yeah, Hundreds of shaders, and I usually only use 5 to 10, tops.

Also armor materials do apply shaders differently. Like bony, metalica, fabrics, glow, moving parts, etc all have different behaviors.

oh god early d2 with single use consumable shaders were terrible. nothing like looking like a clown having 3/5 shaders to match together and hope you get more of the one you wanted.

Thx everyone for the kind answers!!

Some shaders look good on armor, some on weapons, some on nothing (depending on personal taste). Also, as Nakos points out, a shader that looks good on one character/armor may look hideous on another.
