When the coatings were announced I definitely wasn’t happy. All of those free colors that you could use and mix at will were being tossed to the wind (“player expression”
). When the technical preview came out I felt a bit better. I wasn’t completely pleased but a decent array of free colors and some interesting new ones in the BP that would add up over time didn’t feel like the end of the world…
Until I boot up the “beta.” Who on earth decided to lock armor coatings to specific armor cores? It’s bad enough that you got rid of all the classic color customization but now the coatings I earn might not even work across different armor cores? Why?! (I mean, I know why
) If there is a color I like but it’s not on the core I use am I just screwed forever?
