Secondary Patterns on Shields

These have been missing since issue 17. I'm talking about things like the chevron on a heater or a wreath on a round. The main pattern works fine. You can set it but not see it in the costume creator. If you had a shield with a secondary pattern before issue 17 and haven't edited that costume then it appears black.

I heard recently that this turned out to be a video option (which if true blows - everyone should be able to see your costume regardless of video settings) but if it is I can't find it. As far as I can tell it is broken. Can anyone clear this up for me? Still considered a bug yes/no?

It is, in fact, a Video Setting that makes you not see them. You need to have Advanced Graphics Settings enabled, and then under that, go to Shader Quality and set it to either Medium or High. Lowest, Low (No world bumpmaps), and Low (With world bumpmaps) will not show the patterns, except on the Heater style shield.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

That's what I heard. I already have it set to high so I'm stumped. Guess I'll tinker with it but this seems broken to me even if a video setting makes it better.

<Edit to remove question>

Ok, apparently I had to go back to the tailor to reset the colors of my pattern back to normal. I'm good now.

Noticed the same problem, I was going to /bug it but it seems like there has been at least one person with the same problem. Did you /bug it? This problem reproduces with Cavalier, Knight, Round, and Heater as well. It does not however affect the "Kite" shields. It hasn't been fixed on the beta server yet, so I doubt it's a big concern for the team, unless they don't know about it.

I could try to draw their attention to it, and see if they know yet. Would that be the Sexy Jay's department?

Note: This is for all AT's that use shield defense, in case that means anything. I even checked the Praetorians, in case they use a different code or some such.
