3. Color palette differences are partially because the promo art was generated before the colors, textures, and materials were locked down for the armor. The main metal is intentionally limited to our grey metal color selections, but you should be able to get close to the shot with the three Voth. And the other two channels give a wide range of color options. That said, the shine and reflective properties of metal might look dramatically different depending what zone you are in (different lighting generates different results - same as real life, it's often just more noticeable on metal).
Thank you for clearing this up.
If the armor colour options are locked down intentionally, any chance for the Dyson Experimental Rifle to get that metal grey too, or any of the metal colour from the options the armor has? Atm only the voth ground weapons from lockboxes match the armor style, while the set weapon is white... On other ground sets like MACO and Omega, the armor matches the weapon colour/theme, even just with the option to enable armor visuals, let alone the costume options.
Dyson...new "Heavy Combat Armor" costume.
...the color pallets don't match [the promo art]
...the shoulder pads are different
...can't make the glowy-bits light up
Hiya! Thanks for the heads up and feedback guys.
Soooo...in reverse order
1. Glowy bits not being glowy is definitely a bug (visor and chest lights). It absolutely shouldn't be black unless that's what you choose. Fix is going in as we speak! Should be in an upcoming build soon.
2. Shoulder pads are different by design to help differentiate between enemy critters and players.
3. Color palette differences are partially because the promo art was generated before the colors, textures, and materials were locked down for the armor. The main metal is intentionally limited to our grey metal color selections, but you should be able to get close to the shot with the three Voth.

1) Woot! Glad to hear.
2) Fair enough, I can accept that. Thank you for the explanation.
3) I understand what you're saying about promo art being different then end results, also about metal, zones, lighting, etc. But I guess I'm just disappointed because I hate it when we're given arbitrary limits on costume colors.
And I'm with Mosul33, I'm especially sadden by the fact that the armor can't match associated Voth Experimental Rifle. Any chance we can either get the rifle changed to one of our armor's colors, or preferably get one more color added to our armor's pallet that lets us match the gun, please?
Anyway, thank you CrypticJoeJing. I appreciate the quick reply and fix for the glowy bits. Perhaps I'll like the armor better when I can get those working.

I actually don't personally know about the gun. I'll see what I find out from the team. It *might* be that the Dyson Experimental Rifle is ancient Dyson tech, which wouldn't necessarily match the Voth armor (who are not natives of the Dyson Sphere).

On another note, to those wondering what to do with your command commendation you can slot a new 20hr project titled "Continue to Thwart Voth Efforts" and it will reward you 820 ore and 20 dyson marks. The upgrade project that is now no longer available is the get 5 commendations for 350 marks.

It's the same old Cryptic rubbish as usual, I mean how can you do a rep system were you can complete it yet it isn't finished? It's a complete joke just like the whole Sphere, Voth and season 8. Cryptic always seem to amaze me but in the wrong bloody way LOL. I'm just glad i haven't even bothered because by the time i am they might have acturley completed it PMSL:eek:
Why was it released unfinished? Why is thereni at least cut scene for Tier 5. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A FREAKING CUTSCENE?!?!?! Especially given the fact you use the stock emotes in the game to give it that extra touch of lazy amateur trash! Don't bite off more than you can finish. This Kk d of failure TRIBBLE makes your company look like amateurs. GOOD GOD STILL HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A CUTSCENE?!?!?! (a cutscene that probably would be under 5 minutes in length just like the rest have been)
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

He won't.
And there isn't going to be any "voth front".
THis month is xmas.
Feb is the 4rth anniversay.
March/april will be talking about S9.
You know this as a fact how, exactly? I am genuinely curious how you can know that the Voth Front opening up for stuff isn't going to ever open up for players to enter and fight the Voth. It seems like you may have some "inside info" but then again, it might just be you trying to lie.
Just asking, kinda miss the 750 extra marks nad 30k Dillithium from Nukara and Rom. Dyson didn't seem to give any reward at all unless you count the somewhat useless stuff you get everytime you start a mission in the rep system.
C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.

P.S. CrypticJJ, any chance you could take a look at the bugs in the Voth Light Soldier Uniform, too, please?

Why can't we just use any colors on the armor costumes? Is there a specific reason why they're so heavily color locked?
Sooo...got the infos, yo:
The Dyson Ex. Rifle is "an Alliance-developed ?Anti-Voth? rifle. Hence the intentional disparity in style
It actually shoots ?Proton? energy, the exact opposite of Voth ?Anti-Proton? weaponry

The rep reward is something "special," and not ready for release as of yet. They weren't expecting players to be done so quick

Ok found the quote from Branflakes in a thread I missed which oddly enough was started in the general discussions forum.

1 - T3/T4 dyson rep powers ...
I'd go for the 0-75 resistance buff, but i heard many people prefer the 0-15 resistance debuff.
which one should I take and why ?
2 - Proton / Antiproton weapons ...
does Antiproton Mag Regulators buff Proton Weapons too ?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
1. T4 resistance debuff just got a massive nerfing on tribble, would not recommend it.
2. Antiproton consoles do not effect proton weapons.
Bran, can you give us a timeframe please?
YEah.... they're "Working on" a lot of things.
And there isn't going to be any "voth front".

Considering the kdf are getting a new ship anything is possible.

They could have at least cut it from the map so that we wouldn't have learnt from the Voth Zone in the first place.
Now I want to go there, of course. :rolleyes:
The exact info you're looking for.
Soon TM :P
Nice... thx
Lifetime Sub since June 2010
Thanks....
Hope we will be getting the final cutscene soon, same with that reward they can't speak about...
Really odd that the final rewards and cutscene was not done from the get go, but that's Cryptic for you...
