Colors locked behind walls.#1181

The painting system you guys have is very cool and something I have enjoyed using. The issue with it though is having various paint schemes locked behind the battlepass. It feels incredibly defeating to have painted your crew only to then get a paint that would have worked better and having to do a lot of it again.

Another solution would be putting them a lot earlier in the battlepass so by the time a person has learned the general mechanics of the game, they can go into painting much quicker.

Both these solutions would make it so people can get started right away with the look they want for their army and avoid the feeling of wasted time as they unlock new paint styles.

Thanks for that.

We put paints on the rewards track because players love unlocking cosmetics, and this seemed like a perfect type. They are easy to add, tie into the painting experience and also into the lore a bit (through their names).

We also thought that if players really wanted to mix their own colors, they could, so it wouldn’t be too punishing.

So while it could be frustrating as you mention, the flip-side is having nothing change and no reason to ever paint a unit again no matter how much you play.
