-Damask- Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) This better not be a conscious attempt to force us to buy more cartel packs to get a real black bed later on! If so then I will be demanding a refund for this blue bed that appears black in the preview window but then is clearly blue when placed. http://i.imgur.com/tP22FNN.jpg *** bioware why wont my image embed.

LeJarC Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Yep, it was noticed before that the colors of the beds do not match their description http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=759734 It seems the environmentally enhancing lighting BioWare applies does strange things to colors. Black (a color that does not reflect any other color) in this game is not black, it is whatever the main color theme of your environment is. I went sour with that on the black/black dye too. Whenever I visit Tatooine my black outfit turns dark brown. *** Images don't embed in these forums...setting.

Reno_Tarshil Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think you guys might be looking at your beds under a wrong or blue light. Guild Ship with Basic Yellow Light. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h276/Reno_Tarshil/Screenshot_2014-09-16_06_32_12_671962_zpse783604f.jpg Tatooine with Basic Yellow Light. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h276/Reno_Tarshil/Screenshot_2014-09-16_06_33_49_554503_zps352ce25d.jpg Both beds are black in color. Please check again with different lights and see if it's still blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeJarC Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) The problem is that BioWare controls what color the environment is lighted with. Not surprisingly if you move the so-called 'black' bed to your Tatooine stronghold, it suddenly has dark-brown covers. And it is not just the bed, everything is affected by this. Whatever the main color is of the environment the item is shown in, it's color hue gets influenced by this and acquires the same hue as the environment's lighting. Which is totally impossible with any color unless you apply that color to the object that is lighted regardless of the object's own color, as is clearly the case here. Black should remain black at all times, no matter what color the light is... Edited September 16, 2014 by LeJarC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindariel Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 They renamed this bed to "Blue luxury Bed" in the german client with their latest hotfix. They also renamed the plum into purple luxury bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also renamed the plum into purple luxury bed. Great, if that gets done in the English one that means I'll be asking CS for a refund since I bought a black bed, not a blue one... btw. here's another example of the 'blue' effect. Everytime I visit my stronghold on DK, no matter which toon, no matter which companion, every one of them turns up blue. This changes the moment a companion starts walking, sadly my bed don't walk but I wonder, might it have reverted to its advertised color if it could...? http://imageshack.com/a/img633/1011/tXRHJl.jpg (note: both skin color and outfit color are... er, should be white... :s ) Edited September 16, 2014 by LeJarC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Damask- Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I dont really care what color its called. If they cant manage to make one that is black everywhere then just give me whatever color looks black in a DK SH and make a bed that color!
