... in which players are lamenting the way many costume parts are "pre-tinted" and thus cannot be colored the way we players would like. That is, sections of the parts have their own color tinting which mixes with any color selected by the player to produce an intermediate color which is not at all desireable. As pointed out in that thread, this often makes any attempt to colorize those parts come out ugly, and makes it difficult to match those parts up with parts from other sets.
Please fix this.
Yes this is seriously annoying! Perfect example of recently released work is the titan weapons' plasma sword... I don't want a silver metal blade... I wanted a black metal sword with a red, purple or green plasma blade... yet the best I can get is a silver metal blade with my choice of plasma color... I'll pass...
