In the deluge of stuff from becoming 20 and beating the game at the same time.

so pretty

Haha, I went to bungie.net to lookup which one I was using and I still screwed it up somehow!

I think you mean Oracle 99? It looks really nice on ya!

I like that shader too. I also got one from the post master that reminds me of Master Chief, but I ultimately didn't like it with my New Monarchy titan mark, so I stuck with the blue.

I'm rocking the Double Banshee currently. It goes nicely with my gold and blue LRV3 Javelin. http://www.bungie.net/en/Legend/1/4611686018429710562/2305843009215257600#equipment

I think faction marks and cloaks don't change, except for Vanguard and crucible. Cloaks for those changed color when I previewed them. The other factions and the Speaker cloaks did not. So far the couple I've gotten as drops did change color. I wish I could set the color of those separate. The color makes a bigger difference to the look for hunters.

Perhaps special equipment doesn't change colors?

Ah, okay. Yeah the first low-level Titan Mark that I had changed colors with the Shader, but then New Monarchy mark that I just recently purchased is not affected by the Blue. I wonder if there's a rule of thumb for figuring out which ones change

Out of curiosity, have you tried the "Double Banshee" shader? Refer to my Titan, meow

It's very blue, and very beautiful. What shader are you going for?

That's the one I'm using, but it's blue on blue. I'm solid blue with it. I look like a member of Blue Man Group. I want blue and silver. That's what I've been wearing since Halo 3, and those are official Team Bluerunner colors. The closest I've found is Gilgamesh, but it also uses my most hated of colors, orange.

I've also noticed that the shaders will change the color of some cloaks I preview in the Tower and others they won't. That's a shame because the Speaker has a cloak with a snake on it, but it's yellow and white. The preview doesn't change color for that one. If it changed to blue and silver it would be perfect for me.

I like red stuff, hence red robber. I'm going for the God of War shader.

For everyone's awareness, there are 2 "free" shaders (reply)

JDQuackers — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 20:35:10 +0000

These came in the form of codes from the physical goods in limited/legendary edition packaging. There's a bunch of emblems available too, but here are the two shaders:

Shader: Double Banshee 7MM-VPD-MHP
Shader: Oracle 99 RXC-9XJ-4MH

Anton P. Nym (aka Steve) — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 20:03:34 +0000

Only the default so far. I did get one, but "Jester" doesn't quite get the scheme I'm looking for...

-- Steve may send it on to an alt character, which seems to be a manic-pixie-Awoken with Konoko's hair. (Warlock, natch.)

A lot of things in the in game renderer are differt than the companion renderer. It was like that with the beta, too. Colors would apply to odd areas and be lighter or darker than in game.

They actually look better ingame than that. In my opinion anyway.

For all the amazing design ability Bungie has - these colors. Bleh.

How do you find how to get a shader? (reply)

SIX min WHISTLE — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 17:59:15 +0000

I think that might just be to give everyone enough time to get enough Glimmer to get them after launch if they really want one of them. I figured that's why the Shipwright timer was so long. Who knows though, her clock ran out a few times and only emblems changed.

I'm surprised if they're forever leaving up 2 purple Shaders.

Is there a trick for getting this thing to work?

It says it can't load my profiles.

Did you toggle the little button at the top to switch between PS and XBL?

Yes.

I really wish they hadn't done the colors this way. There's only one that kinda gets me the color combination I want, and it's one that isn't sold in the Tower. Now I have to wait until I randomly get it twice in loot drops to apply it to both my characters. So far all I've got in drops is the same gold shader twice.

I really hope there's some dark gray/black armor with a red stripe down one of the arms. Maybe a little letter/number combination on the breast plate. No real reason, just think it would look cool.

*ahem*

One of them is my name. (reply)

Shop before you buy, this link provides you with the ability to see what your character will look like with a specific shader applied.

Now it will taunt me until I get it.

Great.
