Hey guys, I've not played my VEAT Crab Spider in a while, and after logging her on the other day was baffled to find her usually white Mace had returned to the default black/grey.

So I hurried on over to Facemaker to find according to the character creator, my mace is white, despite the right side of the screen clearly showing me with a black one.

This is the same for all 4 of the selectable maces, and it's just dead annoying having a black mace with my elegant white costume. Has made me not wanting to play her until the bug is sorted, and I thought I'd better bug report it.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks.

Are you in VG mode? That can cause odd color issues. If so, check your settings in the VG edit window.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

I encountered a similiar issue on my crab, the jest of the problem/solution that worked for me.

Not in SG/VG, color change problem.
Trying to change the "armor pads" pants to a darker shade, made sure to be out of SG/VG mode, on my crab spider toon, 2nd costume slot.
The costume had been "loaded" from a saved costume.

I've found that if you enter the costume editor mode, and use the drop down menu for the "backpack" and actually place the larger backpack, from the available option, then changes will take place as normal. I had kept the original smaller backpack, (thought it looked better), that got placed on the toon automatically.

After assigning the optional, larger?, backpack, all worked correctly. YMMV but this seemed to work for this instance.

I tried what you suggested Terra, and it's much appreciated, but it's had no effect =/ really very annoying.

Sorry that didn't help ya. Lil bugs like this annoy me as well. BTW, was this costume from a "saved" costume. I dunno if they ever fixed that bug. Hopefully support can get ya some help.
