The Yuletide Elf armour set can't be painted

[Uzas]

Class recognition at a glance is the number one reason I've seen for why the majority of paintjobs and outfits remain class-locked, but now we have an armour set that is identical on all classes and we can't paint it?

It's a great new outfit and I really enjoy the colour scheme it comes with, I'm just a little confused by the decision is all. If anyone has an answer on why this may be, that'd be pretty cool!

It's not like you don't have any other blatant and much more visible ways to tell which class is one playing ...

EDIT: but yes being able to paint it would be nice.

It's obviously a joke armor that is good for a laugh during christmas season, but I doubt a lot of people (or any at all) would equip it as a normal armor. I mean...it's a christmas elf costume with christmas presents on the back? Though I have to admit I completely expected the present on the back to change color depending on class (tried scout first and since it was blue...).

Same, a little disappointed in that tbh.

True, but when you go so far as to associate a class with something as basic as a color, it would be rather odd to then not use the color anywhere in the appearance of the class.

DRG is admittedly not particularly strict on the dress code, but a paramilitary megacorporation would have to have something in the bylaws somewhere, right? There's gotta have been a middle-manager who wasted time on it, in effort to try and justify their excessive salary at some point.

Fingers-crossed it will be paintable after this event.

Green tights. Any color but green. Looks like Peter Pan's Dwarf-Fairy cousin.

Would be kinda cool to turn it black and white, dark clown style.

Regal Ageis might look good with the armor set.

That's weird, my friend was able to paint his armor. It looked pretty cool with that armor color that makes goggles/helmets glow your class color, it makes the little bells glow too.

Maybe he did it through a bug/cosmetic mod?

Agreed. If it isn't a vanilla feature, it really should be.

Not sure how since all that is available is "Default paintjob" on the list when you have that armor equipped.

Yep definitely sounds like a bug or mod.

Update: I'm able to paint the armor too. The only cosmetic armor mod I have is "Cosmetic Restriction Remover" which is verified and lets other people see your cosmetics too.

I'd recommend anyone who wants to paint the elf armor get that mod, it's probably why I can paint my armor.

Thanks! I keep seeing other players with it painted and it looks awesome!

Remember OSHA colour code compliance:

Green means "GO, shoot it"
Red means "STOP, it's our friend, the engineer"

Install the Cosmetic Restriction Remover mod! It lets you color the yule suit to the most fly drippest looking thing in this galaxy. It also lets you use the stock weapon frame paints and armor paint jobs on anything else too.
