Please Let Us Paint Default Skins

[Exemplifire]

I'm not going to even complain about paying for paints.

I'll just say that some of the default skins are very nice skins. Especially the default skins for the Ultimate Descendants. But you can't change their colors. I'm very certain you could do this in the beta. Why can't we do it now?

The simple answer is they think they can make more money if the only skins you can customize are the ones you have to pay for with real currency. But if I like a skin, I'm going to buy it, even if the default skin is customizable. I just want the option to customize all of the skins. For variety.

I was very disappointed that the default skin of the Ultimate Ajax I bought could not be painted. I was equally disappointed Bunny's default skin couldn't be painted. We could customize these in the beta and I think we should be able to now as well.

So, please, make all skins customizable!

You can get some skins from battle pass supply shop even if you are not premium. 50 coins each. Just progress and do your dailies to claim the "free" stuff.

Except only desired if you play those characters

Where is the glossy black? Out of all the options to exclude? Or even just a shade of black that isn't just gray. I want to give this game money, but the options for customizing is lacking so much. Unless you like pink, yellow or red that will burn your eyes.

Do tasks in game to get the colors you want. Most of locked behind defeating Colossi multiple times.

you can preview all the available colors. there is no black, just dark gray. The "matte black" isn't even close.

Yeah, both the darker blacks, Matte Black and Blue Black are too Blue shade to be considered true blacks.

I also find it odd that they have shades of colors like gold that they use on some Ultimate weapons and Descendants that aren't available either.

It's like they're just trying to mess with my OCD. "Do you really like the default Ultimate Bunny, Ajax and Lepic helmets and just want to match your skin too them? Good luck! Mwahahaha!"

Not to mention you can't customize light colors and practically all skins have different colored lights. Sigh.

they put zero effort into the shader. For a company that loves to emulate Destiny, they sure do ♥♥♥ up the most basic things

Yes, the customization could severely use a revamp. While the paints being consumables are... restrictive to say the least, I can understand the thinking behind it, and I won't complain too much about that.

However, as people mentioned in this thread:

1) Being able to colour the default skins (at least for the ultimate skins) would be nice. Way too many generic looking ultimate bunnies running around (myself included). Nexon won't lose any money, people buy the outfits for the looks, and if people like the default skin, they won't buy outfits, but will still spend premium currency on paints to recolour it. Especially all the generic ult bunnies. It's literally profit on both sides.

2) Being able to wear the armor and headgear of the normal descendant on your ultimate to mix and match or just if you prefer the look of the normal but want the stats of the ultimate, should be a thing. They are the same character model.

3) Clear Black is missing, all the metallic rare metal finishes are matte and not shiny. More customizations, more stuff for us to purchase if we want.

Providing players with more options in these scenarios wouldn't lose money for Nexon, it'll be profit. Number 2 might be iffy because there's recolored normal descendant looking outfits so Nexon likely wants us to purchase that if we want to wear it on Ultimate or recolor. Number 1.... well, Nexon might release a paintable Ultimate default outfit recolor later, maybe that's what they are betting on, so even players that farm the Ultimates (legends, bless their souls) would still have to pay to be able to paint. Which sucks, but yeah.

Good summary. One thing to note about the "recolors," is that most change more than just the color of the skins. For instance, none of Bunny's additional skins have the same level of surface detail texture as her default skin. Some of the materials are changed in addition to the change in color palette. These tend to be a little less lazy than the typical recolors. Granted the additional/alternate details are minor, but they appear to be altering the normal maps in addition to the color of the textures.

I'm going to try to hold out hope that this will be rectified in the future. The character art design is top notch, so hopefully they'll allow us more freedom to customize them to our liking.

For two characters.

Yes. For the next 8 weeks you can try your best to do all the weekly and seasonal challenges you can in hopes of getting enough coins for the skins for 2 characters.

This does not really resolve anything. First, not everyone plays those characters. Second, why should we be forced to be unhappy with our appearance for 8 weeks while trying to earn skins that can be painted.

Every character comes with a skin, let us paint them like we could in beta. That way people can be happy with how they look while they're farming for skins.

Especially let us paint the default ultimate skins! Some of them are too cool not to be able to use. I'm tired of my customization options being artificially limited.

I agree, because now everyone looks exactly like everyone else.

i have buy "matte light black" and "shiny metal silver" and let me tell ya, dont get them xd they dont look the same from the preview to the outside world, in preview shiny metal looks darker and more black than matte light black (in the preview), outside its looks like a very pale silver lighter than the matte light black and the matte light blacks looks darker but plain since is matte

Yeah. Their paints could use some work. Especially if they're going to charge you for them.

Half of them make your Descendant look like they're in 3D Printed plastic armor. Something's just not right. Not sure how they handled their alpha transparency for color application or the shader applied to the painted areas, but something is definitely wrong.
