Revan's Chestplate; any word on a fix?

[Alduinsm]

Considering the color BEFORE 1.6.1 is what he had at launch till 1.6.1 What do you think?

 

What color it was at launch doesn't prove that it was correct (for example: the phantom set wasn't in the right model when it was first released and they changed it later) . This could be that they found out Revan's robe was in the wrong color and changed it in 1.6.1.

Why would they change it after it being black robes since beta and a year later till then? To that point, I use Kallig's Countenance. It used to work with helmets, and it broke at launch, they wont let it work with hoods again because of the large time lapse of people being used to it as is.

 

 

Nobody started to fight about Revan's set bugs until the lower robe was graphically fixed in 1.6.2 so it wasn't that either.

I doubt they would purposely have Revan wear Black pants and a Grey chest.

Its more than that. The PRIMARY Color was altered in 1.6.2 when they modified the hood up to not clip with Revan's mask in body type 3 males.

Yeah, I noticed that right away too. It's nice to know that EricMusco and his team have no idea what they're doing.

[Magnusheart]

It's not his fault, he isn't in the coding department. I just wish we didn't have to vent our frustration on this to him specifically to whip the CM team to fixing their oversights and mistakes

I know he is just the messenger, but we asked him if we could look at the pics of the fix before the patch was released and he didn't communicate back to us.

 

Had he communicated in a better fashion, he wouldn't be in the middle of this crossfire.

[LostRedden]

Since Bioware isn't going to fix the color on the robe, easiest/cheapest fix for them is to enable dying of the revan robe, then people can spend more cartel coins on random dye packs hoping to get a black, then dye the robe the original colors.

 

And yes, the rob has changed, when it was first released, it was brown based black on the character portrait, now it's just light brown.

 

P.S. The Investigator armor and several others of the same style still have the double hood.

 

It's logical Jim.

I doubt any type of diplomatic phrasing would have spared him. The post could have come with free cartel coins and sandwiches and people'd still cry foul.

If he had posted a screenshot, then we could have told him that it was incorrect.

Sigh. It will just stay on the list than, wont it?

 

1. Revan's armor is still light grey instead of the black primary it used to be pre 1.6.1

2. Investigator's chest has a double hood, hood down shouldn't exist

3. Pathfinders chest has a double hood, hood down shouldn't exist

3. Preceptor's Robe has a clipping mesh error for its butt-flap sticks out of the robe part.

4. Calo Nord's Helmet on most sex/body types has your head sticking out of it.

5. Calo Nord's Chestpeice has HORRIBLE clipping meshes with the bags on the jacket free fall mesh parts.

6. Thana Vesh's butt cover robe piece doesn't position properly for MALES.

7. Trouble Makers Duster has similar buggy appearance above on females.

8. Relaxed Vestments have a horrible glitch on female bodies under the right breast. http://img2.picload.org/image/awowraa/chestglitch.jpg

9. Bastila Shan's Brown shoulder parts clip inside on every sex/bodytype doing any animations even walking.

I'm pretty sure we're all getting trolled here. At least I hope so.

 

When can we get a correct set of Revan's armor (mask, chest, robe, gloves, and sash) that looks like the iconic KotoR Revan similar to the iconic Malak, Nihilus, Onasi, Bastila, Handmaiden... etc.

 

Just please correct this abomination. Because this crap ain't it. Not as originally live, not as fixed circa 1.6, and certainly not currently.

 

How hard can it be to put into a KotoR-based game, the most iconic armor of the series? I mean, wasn't this supposed to be "KotoR 3 - 10?" How can there be KotoR with pale imitations of Revan's character?

Considering them making a kotor themed Revan set would be a walking monstrosity of clipping meshes, I thoroughly enjoy the existing set just fine. If it wasn't for the overlay of bugs it has been given over the year.

Let's get this set fixed, and then right after... I will make a thread in the Cartel Market Suggestion box asking for a separate KOTOR themed Revan.

Hey guys,

 

I wanted to add a bit of clarity to the post in this thread, and my update from this morning. This is all of the information I have about Revan's armor, what was or wasn't changed, and why. When we originally saw the double hood issue we also noted that it appeared there was a color difference in the armor between the player and NPC. Our plan was to mirror the NPC exactly for the player for consistency. When we fixed the double hood and we looked at the color palette, the armor sets were already identical in color so no change was actually required.

 

The issue that I think some players appear to be seeing is that the top portion of Revan's armor is not the same as the bottom or the "light grey bug." Interestingly, they are the exact same color. Yes, Revan's top may appear slightly lighter, but they are the same color, it is just a matter of how it is laying on the cloth (similar to how dye's can affect different armor pieces differently). The reason it appeared that the CM armor and NPC armor looked different is that you only typically see Revan in darker lighting, so his coloring looks a bit different then when you are running around in varying lights in the open world on your character.

 

When I said originally there would be a color shift along with the double hood, we were also under the impression it would require a color shift to appear the same as the NPC armor. Unfortunately after looking over the NPC armor it appears it was already the same color, so no color shift occurred.

 

I hope that clears things up and apologize for any confusion!

You got it all wrong,

 

 

Revan didn't die in the Foundry, he just disappeared. Thus, no homicide.

Your pictures are pointless, you are comparing the bug with the bug. Unless you are comparing it to a picture dated before 1.6.1 All your doing is running in a circle

I tried finding a screenshot of my character with the robes on when they first came out, but I came up empty. So, instead, I am using this picture as a comparison. If you inspect the file data, it shows as being last modified on 12 November 2012, before 1.6.1 according to the Patch Notes page.

 

Here is side-by-side of Revan in the same pose. Bloom is off in my screenshots, marked New, just because it was brought up earlier in this thread that bloom could make a difference. For what it's worth, I attempted to fiddle with my settings multiple times, and I could not re-create a darker Revan armor (like the Old ones here) without also messing up the belt portion too much.

 

Here is Revan, my character, and even a companion in the closest approximate black-dyed outfit I could manage. (Enshrouding Force with the Black/Yellow dye.) Bloom is off in this one as well. I'm including this only to be thorough and show that, yes, the colors match the current version of Revan in-game. However, as has been stated multiple times, these colors are not the colors of the old Revan, shown above.

 

EDIT: I forgot to add this Youtube video I found, which is old enough to show the original color of Revan's robes.

 

Oh, and personally, I don't feel strongly one way or the other. I actually use the robes for the secondary color, that coppery color you see on my character's lower robe. Heh. I was honestly just curious and wanted to see it side-by-side for myself. I do feel it was a bit misleading of BW to make it seem like the old color was coming back, however, when in reality they merely made sure the colors matched to the current version of Revan.

Now then. Bioware. My endgame. The final 2 pictures alone will 100% PROVE THERE WAS, AND IS A COLOR BUG, AND THE ROBES ARE IN FACT SUPPOSED TO BE A BLACK PRIMARY. But I will be nice enough to show even more then and now comparisons before and now in the patch.

But for those to lazy and wish to skip to the key images to prove they were BLACK and NOT GREY. Look at the spoilers for the shortcut
