I just saw the new screenshots and I gotta say is pretty disappointing.
I mean the whole reason I was attracted to the Terran republic was because of black and red but seeing the colors just being grey, totally makes it look like crap.
Now I know that the original TR Armor looked kind of grey when you were levels from my memory and perhaps you need to unlock the red and black but when I see the VS armor, is pretty fucked up IMO.
VS armor has the VS armor.....Terran Republic Armor has not red and black, I mean at least put a little red and black if they want the user to unlock a sick looking carnage type red and black armor.
Same goes with NC, it looks way too similar to TR....and no yellow and blue.
Seems to me like their is a bias for VS.....

One can assume that you'll be able to customize, to some degree, the colors of your armor.
I think they actually stated that you'll be able to pick colors within your empires pallet.
Everything they've shown thus far is just the base model, we're supposed to be able to have a wide array of options to be able to customize our armor and weapons. That includes color.
At least I think so :groovy:

Not to worry. If you've played PS1. You'll know that when you first start out as BR1, you're outfit is pretty much all greyed out with a touch of red. As you level and gain BR, your armor becomes more red and attractive.
Im sure this is the same for PS2, those screenshots are just of low level grunts.
Hope this helps.

Just the senior art director being VS...no bias at all ¬¬
But its so you the low level guys will look like the generic soldier and as you rank up/acquire camos you look more and more distinct on the battle field.
You do realize these are the low level armors, right?
Agiles didn't have much color in PS1 at BR1.
That and cus toh mah zay shion

Because colours aren't enough like BF and CoD?
It might also have something to do with not standing out so much. Although that idea is quickly defeated if people have names and health bars.

Pretty sure either Higs or Tray confirmed that you will gain more color as you rank up.

I think it should be the other way around. The more you play, the more your color wears off.

Nooo you gain more colour but your armour gets a bit more chipped and dented!

Yawn, because this game needs to be another blah brown shooter.

Hmmmm... I think the fact that the game is more realistic in means of graphics also means that it should be at least a bit more realistic in means of design. Because "purple from head to toe" camo only works when proned amongst eggplants...

There's a scene for the comic :rofl:
I really am worried about the VS standing out. Neon blue "camouflage" and glowing weapons seem like such a huge disadvantage.

No, this is the problem that TR/NC have at the moment. We're in a sci-fi setting and they look like modern-day soldiers.

This may be very sarcastic but my answer to this is:

I mean grey is a neutral color. Yellow is not. Try dressing all yellow and go hunting. You'll scare even a colorblind animal.

I didn't say they should look like banana kroot. I'm just saying the benefit of making a sci-fi game is that you aren't constrained by realism. What's the point of having a sci-fi setting, if not to make things look cooler than what we have in reality?

The idea isn't about camouflage, it's about recognizable characters. Every class will have a distinct appearance and every empire has a distinct colour and geometric scheme, with the goal being easy recognition of friends and foes and the classes for each. The whole point is so that it's easy to see whether that guy over there is a TR engineer or a VS medic. The colours, shapes, and class kit should all be designed so that you can tell pretty much straight away.
The worst thing they could do is go about actually trying to make serious camouflage patterns for armor. It would be amazingly silly seeing a line of guys wearing bright blue and yellow armor next to some asshole with digital beige/brown desert camouflaged armor. They need to either stick to realistic, banal character designs or cool, sci-fi/fantasy character designs. Mixing the two would be very jarring and look terrible.

I don't think target identification should be a snap.
You should need to think. Is the armor smooth, sleek? Bulky? ...Fishy?
I think camouflage is essential. Fuck color identification. (although ATID for friendlies would be nice)

I know TR looked kind of grey in planetside 2 in the beggining.
But they really look too grey......Even in planetside 1 the grey armor had alittle bit of red and black.
Also NC being grey just makes it horrible since they look alike.
Vanu is the only armor sporting the vanu color.

We've seen "enough" blue and yellow on higher level NC armor, but I've yet to see a picture of TR that actually had black and red in it. It's usually just grey and some red, or then they just havnt really shown us the higher level stuff yet.
Dreamcast
2012-03-05, 05:27 PM
I been seeing a gold or kind of brownish grey TR with spikes on the head.........I really hope this isn't the high level TR.
I yet to see a black and Red TR....I have seen a couple of blue and yellow NC tho.
WTF? this is bullshit if TR isn't black and Red.

Targeting is not limited to visual identification. Let's be honest here - in Planetside the vast majority of players looked for a red name or a red dot on a map. Anything with a green name was obviously friendly.
I mean the whole reason I was attracted to the Terran republic was because of black and red but seeing the colors just being grey, totally makes it look like crap.
Now I know that the original TR Armor looked kind of grey when you were levels from my memory and perhaps you need to unlock the red and black but when I see the VS armor, is pretty fucked up IMO.
VS armor has the VS armor.....Terran Republic Armor has not red and black, I mean at least put a little red and black if they want the user to unlock a sick looking carnage type red and black armor.
Terran Republic lowbies were called "greyshirts", in homage to Star Trek Original Series "redshirts", for a reason.

I am dispointed that SOE didn't give us black n red TR or Blue n Yellow NC........
I know TR was grey in the beginning levels of Planetside but TR is known as black n red but in this game they are mostly grey.
NC is mostly brownish.
I was hoping they will at the very least let us unclock skins like in Planetside 1 when you level up but it seems like it aint gonna happen.

If you had read the camo thread instead of necroing your old thread you would have seen that what you are asking for will be available.
For cash.
Pay for armor upgrades and don't buy any camo and you will get your wish.
The Devs want you to look like crap so you will pay for it.

Of course I knew they will sell it, even before the beta.
I just find it wrong that they wouldn't give us are empire colors....They didn't have to look spectacular just be our colors.
and seeing how Battle Rank doesnt do anything, maybe they should reward players with at least 1 faction color skin.
The VS don't look like crap....They are pretty much VS colors.

Terran Republic lowbies were called "greyshirts", in homage to Star Trek Original Series "redshirts", for a reason.
I did not know that - my group of friends/guild used to call the New Conglomerate lowbies "bluebies" in 'honor' of their newbie position. Not sure how wide spread that got, as I stopped playing a couple of months after the johari server merge.

I played PS1 on and off from 2006 to 2011 and I had never once heard TR low levels referred to as "greyshirts".
Heard bluebies all the time though.
