Greendragonbc Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Maybe its my graphics settings, or maybe its a pc issue, but for some reason my Kingpin Assault Cannons' graphics look like crap. Its almost like its reflecting too much light on the surface. It only appears that way in game, but looks fine through a preview weapon. I have asked other players and they all claim from their point of view it looks fine. Strangely also, is the fact its only that one weapon, I have tried equipping others. I have tried changing all my graphics settings ( I usually play high for all). Heres a picture link of what I see, showing a normal weapon, the weapon preview, and the weird appearance.http://tinypic.com/r/ev18g5/8 Does anyone have any idea why this might be so or how to fix...its annoying the hell out of me.

demotivator Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) They should get rid of that reflection on these new weapons. I have the same issue with my blaster pistol. Looks great in the preview window. Looks horrible in use. Edited June 13, 2014 by demotivator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindariel Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 /Signed The assault cannon looks absolutely horrible with those reflections. They are so bright, that you can't see the details of the weapon anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 As I mentioned here, the blaster rifles that drop from the latest pack are also plagued by this. Again, will provide some screenshots later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Also, either some of us are simply not as "aware" of the issue or we are not having it. The guns look fine on my end is what I'm tryin to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebruixe Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have the same problem with the kingpin blaster pistol and blaster rifle. Doesn't bother me THAT much, but it would be nice if this bug was fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorkdishSWOR Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It depends on the lighting. Running around most of the fleet the cannon is covered in glitter. I bought it in the casino based on the preview window and mailed it to my commando, only to equip it on the fleet and instantly regret the purchase. In a well lit, outdoor area its not so reflective. Truth be told, when I saw it in game my first thought was of the frictionless spaceship from Hitchikers and instantly wanted a GSF ship with the same paint job.

KrizDaWiz Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Please no. Just let them be. I think it looks fine. They do not need to be touched at all....don't push these weapons to get ruined.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discbox Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 They should get rid of that reflection on these new weapons. I have the same issue with my blaster pistol. Looks great in the preview window. Looks horrible in use. Yes, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petnil Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Please no. Just let them be. I think it looks fine. They do not need to be touched at all....don't push these weapons to get ruined.... The problem is it looks different from the preview picture. If preview looked the same i would agree, no need to change the look, i do however think items should allways look as they can be seen in preview.

jedip_enguin Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I don't care for the chrome effect, but given the number of other weapons in game that have the same 'issue' I'm guessing this is by design. My personal concerns with the cannon are 1. Sometimes when it auto sheathes after combat the cowl vanishes/turns transparent. 2. The designer who worked on it clearly died halfway through the process because he only designed the front end of it, the back end looks like it was made of some old lead pipe and cereal boxes, which kind of lets down the cool part at the front end.

PorkdishSWOR Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 that could be said about all of the color crystals when previewed with a lightsaber. i agree with what youre saying though. preview should be the same as an equipped item. They made an effort recently to bring the preview in line with in game crystal colors. At least it was in a patch note. The biggest joke related to his is cloaks on speeders. Preview a speeder with a cloaked character and your cloak will be neatly tucked away and looking great. Since they're clearly unable to fix this in game, I think they should remove the 'fake' fix in the preview window to avoid misinformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryvirath Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 In the preview it looks to have an animation effect similar to the Kyber Assault Cannon. Upon equipping the Kingpin Cannon that effect seems to entirely disappear. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greendragonbc Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Its not a matter of the item looking different in the preview window, although that does clearly show the weapon is not "chrome". Even if it was chrome it would be cool, if the graphics were even and the reflection was uniform and consistent. The issue is with the texture/ reflective graphics. The item looks like its covered in moving static when indoors under light. The reflection has a snowy effect and even moves like static when standing still. its horribly annoying, and takes away from a weapon that is actually pretty cool looking. Take a look at this pic then tell me that's what was intended, even if you think that's chrome...http://i57.tinypic.com/hrgg1t.jpg. I have asked others players and quite a few have told me they have the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elesthor Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) And I have the moving parts of mine changing colors when it sits on my chars back. http://tinypic.com/r/120s28i/8 It turns yellowish sometimes too. Its a pity since its one of the coolest looking cannons in game atm. Edited July 12, 2014 by Elesthor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
