One month later: Missing paint packs and Tactical Ice & Graphite paints.

So rephrase the question. Not so much "where are these paint packs" but "why are these specifically being delayed". This thread is more or less asking the former, not the latter.

Narrow the scope of the question and maybe we can get an answer that more applies to the information you're interested in. This thread doesn't really seek out that specific information and also kind of complains about the fact that paint packs are broken up so it's a little unfocused.

The question is:

When. Will. These. Paints. Be. In. The. Store.

You dont have to defend FD here. Its a simple question, they provide an intentional non-answer. That is annoying. Not much else to say.
 
Greetings Commanders,

Some paint jobs that were available prior to 3.5 may not be in the store at the moment, but they will arrive in the future. We will regularly be rolling out these paint jobs, along with other new ones, over time. We thank you for your patience and are monitoring your feedback and passing it on to the team!

Thanks!
When is https://www.frontierstore.net/ going to bring back elite dangerous game extras?
Or is that just never coming back?
 
Plenty of people have asked the latter question across many different threads (including myself, in this very thread) and channels of communication (Twitter, Instagram, etc.) over the last month. Trust me, the issue is not us, it's Frontier.
Yeah you asked like 30 minutes ago.

I left all my paints behind on Xbox and would like to get Tac White for a couple of my ships too. But in this very thread, there's complaints about how paint looks currently. I said it stands to reason that, from a rework perspective, they'd start with the most visible and popular ones.

I can't speak for Twitter etc on questions, but on the forums the questions have been about where they are, and the answer is always the one we get here, in this thread - which is an answer to that question, mostly.

I'm hoping for a visual revamp which addresses the issues brought up. I can also understand their hesitance to declare that, because it sets an undefined expectation.

Considering the online store is still a bit janky, they may need to focus on getting that working properly first. The delay is unfortunate and it could be communicated better, but it's not catastrophic.

Does. It. Matter. Its. Just. Spaceship. Dressup. And. People. Get. Very. Upset. About. These. Minor. "Issues". So. They. Might. Be. Doing. A. Quality. Check. Pre. Release. Or. A. Bit. Of. Rework. To. Prevent. The. Usual. Salt. Storm.

Damn that was painful to type.

I don't think anyone has any issue with the quality of the tactical ice or graphite paintjobs. They're just plain light grey and dark grey. If they were to be made into something more, Frontier would just make completely new paintjobs. They still work and exist in-game for people who have previously purchased them, it really makes no sense to have remove them from the store.
 
Since I owned them after using ARX earlier this month and purchasing them in the game through livery, but had not applied them until yeaterday, I can't say whether they can be purchased in the store or if they are available in the store.

So you bought them in the last month, using ARX?
 
I believe I did. I purchased ARX for cash and then bought a Krait MKII.

Using the game extra's, I bought the tactical paints for it.
The paint in question is the Tactical Graphite Tactical Ice, the black and white ones.

Was it those? Did you find the missing paint?
 
If it's there in Game Extras this whole time, I swear.
Don't worry, just Rom being Rom

I cannot say if the paints are in the store right now as I purchased them through the Livery when last at a station. I did not go directly to the "frontier store" and purchase a paint pack.

Meanwhile in the store:

Tactical what?
 
Ah yes, the final desperate argument.

"It doesn't matter!"

In that case feel welcome to not post about it.

I can honesty say I'm not desperate at all about the currently reported unavailability of an internet spaceship paintjob. This could be linked to me being in the never buy any cosmetics whatsoever category of gamers.

Somewhat baffled as to how anyone else could actually be upset about it would be more accurate.

The freebies are nice though aren't they :D(y).

If you don't care, that's fine. Repeatedly reminding everyone of how little you care does not contribute anything meaningful to the discussion, though.
