Infiltration suit problems?

Skitz · 2003-06-20, 08:50 PM

An event that took place in the NC sanc, on the emerald server today:
Skit(me):BR 12 Adv Hacker/Combat Engi/Infil/Mosq Pilot LFS!
Random Idiot: Dude, we need a hacker, come on in.
(On first site of seeing my armor)
Random Idiot: Dude, you arn't BR12, your armor is all blue.
You have been removed from the squadron.
Now, I know most people arn't idiots such as this one, but I do find it most disapointing Infiltrators are not able to display our rank via color changes (yes, I know we are invisible for most of the time, but I tend to be uncloaked running around sanc). It doesn't seem that challenging to simply add a few new skins in a coming patch, and it would make a world of difference (but I am one for stingy little art detail )

We get a little more gray on us, but I would definatly love to see more of a change. Just don't make our suits yellow. That would be fugly.

Why does br12 make a bit of difference? He said he needed a hacker, not a fucking armory. Morons. Gimme their name and I'll go grief them.

He gave up an infil/ adv hack/ combat eng because of the color of your suit?? That's truly pathetic.

Skitz · 2003-06-20, 10:36 PM

He didnt believe I had what I said, and thought I was going for some quick exp, or so i think

Shoot, the guy should have just sent you to steal a vehicle (or heck, after this last patch, to just hack an equip term) and that would have settled it and he still would have had his hacker. What a loser.

That dude is an idiot, there is no question about that, but this thread makes a good point. Both BR and CR should show up visually on all armor types in one way or another. I wonder what a CR5 BR20 infiltrator would even look like? Hopefully someday I will see that.

No he was just one of the many "l33t" idiots who think that a squad is only good if it has BR 10 or more peeps.

I dunno about NC, cos I haven't seen any of their stealthers out of cloak, but I know for TR, on my stealther, when i got to BR 7, and compared it to other stealthers below BR 7, there was a slight but visible difference in colour. At BR7 you kindo go darker and more shiny, whereas below that you're more matt and boring.
