Is there a way to turn off the default "look" of armor upgrades i.e. artifacer (sp) so we can use the cosmetic stuff we buy with RTP? If not y'all should think about doing it.

Its supposed to "show" what gear you have equiped so that your enemies and allies can be able to "react" .
I would prefer if it did not .But i guess you could tag @BrentEllison for these matters?

They mentioned in the last twitch that they were still working on the artificer and mastercraft appearances for some of the new RTP customizations. They are supposed to come up in the next few patches.

cool, thanks. My work and their twitch don't cross paths.

I know you're just passing in what we have all been told so my reply isn't directed at you my friend.

As far as the topic, who in the hell takes the time to look at your armor trim or the decor on your Jump Pack when you're splitting their face open with a Power Sword?

Personally I'm not a fan of the Unwanted changes to aesthetics for the Jump Packs because of Wargear nor am I a fan of the Aesthetic changes caused by Veteran status or Artificer armor. I prefer the default Jump Pack skins for both Chaos and Loyalist and want to keep them regardless if wargear! I also cannot stand the silver trim on an Imperial Fist, their trim should be black! Silver trim on my Space Wolf, no thanks I prefer the all grey default paint scheme.

It all goes back to these unwanted changes covering up skins that we buy off the store, which defeats the whole purpose if the store. One would assume we will eventually see those Back appearance options for different Jump Pack skins. Why then are our Jump Pack aesthetics SP changed by Wargear? That should be OUR decision as far as how we want our Jump Pack to look. Nobody takes the time to inspect an enemy jump pack.

You know what's funny? Most (if not all) Devs add some kind of Wardrobe-system much, much later to the game and forget that's one of the most asked features, if the game has some sort of cosmetic item shop.

This so much this!!
