    Lol I play at 1920x1080 with high settings, and for some reasons screenshots look bad when I upload to imgur.

    Yeah..can't say i'm impressed. My level 42 cloth went from a lightish blue to Barney purple. Time to put on a costume till I make new 46 gear and hope for the best I guess.

    :(

    I really like the new armor colors. Although it doesn't look like Daedric changed any.

    i dunno if this was intentional, but the new armor colors that came from this patch are disgusting.

    Devs: please change em back or add dyes asap

    There's another thread I was a part of that was all about the terrible aesthetics of VR gear. Before that, apparently ZoS thought it was working as intended. Turns out, there WAS a glitch causing the armor to look like crap. So thank the OP of that thread for getting this fixed.
    Yep, that thread definitely helped! Glad you guys are seeing a positive change. :)

    Any chance you can post in one of the 100 threads calling your attention at game breaking bugs? Or are you just staying in the goodbye ones and the positive ones?

    This is a great change and one more example of the devs listening to the feedback from the community.

    No it isn't. Some dev fudged up the specular mapping on the veteran armors during development. The initial Zenimax stance was that the poor appearance was intentional. They then pulled an about-face and fixed the specular maps once players started posted glaring pictorial examples of the problem for them.

    I like the changes they made to the armor color, atleast with my VR4 armor. I'm wearing 5 Heavy, 2 Medium(Helm & Belt), all purple refinement. Before it was just silver armor with gold trim and red leathers. This looks much better in my opinion. I just wonder if the purple refinement is what gives it the pearlescent look?

    Yeah... but that helmet... O.O

    WHAT!!!!! this might be because I have been drinking but I love all of it even the helm (glad I did a spell check since I spelled about 4-5 word wrong, might be a sign :p)

    Are the armour styles on the chargen previews changed too?

    I don't know what you mean by "chargen previews" so I can't help you.

    I actually though that everyone who played the game had to use the character generator immideately upon starting the game. Guess I was wrong then...

    Checking the VR characters on heavy armor the look is better, thank you. :)

    On medium armor instead this changement could still require some tweaks, infact leather doesn't seem leather. It's more "metallic" now as look, glares, etc.
    Bosmer VR4 medium armor (epic improvements) for example seems a sort of metal or shiny plastic leather.

    VR ranks do look better, but did they have to make lower level armour look worse and absolutely hideous? I can't stand staring at this minty green anymore, I must wear a disguise so my colours at least make some sense.

    That's... not Thor. More like something out of Colonel Kilgore's fever dreams...

    As most Vikings, Thor would likely have made do with a chainmail byrnie and perhaps an iron helmet :pensive:

    The thing is,Thor isnt a viking ;) He is a god.

    Not an exact comparison (I pulled the 1st image from a site as I don't have a ss of my own character in this armor). But the change is notable. These are both medium Bosmer level 28 armor.

    This image is actually my toon:

    Huge difference between the two. Not sure I like the color. I do hope they add a dye system soon :)


    XD The hat in the first+the "shoes". Oh bosmers :3...

    Any word on if there are looking at making fixes to gear color issues introduced in the last patch(1.2 I think)? Myself, I see SO much green in different armor they all look alike. I saw a thread that all the green is actually the game not properly rendering the right texture or something. Would be nice to get this fixed, and I hope the shiny 'plastic' look is fixed in VR gear when I get there.

    Agreed, the VR4 light armor colors (kind of pearlescent) look amazing!
