(2020) You can't change the color of the glowing purple parts in the new elite armor?

Why?

I know is because of some technical limitation but, if we can change torgadoros armor color then, why can't we change this skin too? what's going on?

You can see the new elite hunt pass in Rev's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m98u7k36RZI

We really wish they were dyable, too. This skin is not dyable because of how materials work in our game - it would be a huge lift of redoing how a ton of materials work (not just on this armour) on the tech side in order to make the glowy bits dyable. Because of that, we kept it as one colour for all.

Because the glowy bits can only be 1 set colour we redid the armour itself to match the purple in the marketing art so that people hyped about the art aren't disappointed in the colour itself once they get in-game.

Yeah, I'm sorry technically issues sound like a copout. Sounds like they ran outta time and don't wanna have to worry about it. Also we just told them in the thread for the searing talons hunt pass, that elite armor with locked in colors doesn't feel elite, they even made note of it.

Hey! We definitely heard you about the Searing Talons Hunt Pass, however at the time of that feedback this HP was already being finalized. We will use that feedback for future passes of course.

Adding this in: this all being said, once this patch is out the door and we have more badwidth this is definitely something that we will revisit to see if we can update it after it's live <3
