Very sad. :(

the champion's one is pink. No idea if that is classic, but kinda hard to imagine when the rest of the armor is silver.

[Raev]

I'm guessing they are all yellow, actually, instead of the correct colors.

I thought it was strange that I needed to change a few helms before now. Seems as if there is a common issue amongst them.

If screenshots or evidence can be provided they should be changed, it's an easy fix. Now that custom helms are available, I expect there will be more.

Do you mean for helm tint, or for custom helms in general? Would it be easy to fix the hair clipping problem?

Having a tough time finding an old screenshot of a Custom Myrmidon Helm...

How about the fact that the Custom Warlord Crown (Kael Warrior) and Custom Shining Helm (Kael Paladin) on this server match the tint of the rest of the armor where the Custom Myrmidon Crown does not?

The Akkirus' Crown of the Risen (HoT) gnome plate helm is white.

Is this correct, cause it currently doesn't match the rest of the set.

Nilbog all the armor keeps a tint depending on the race and it changes the color of the final armor

another bug post about this here

Not sure what the issue is on the first post. The other posts appear to show tint? That is incorrect.

Custom-look helms should not be the same tint as the rest of the armor set.

This page has human male, dark elf male, barbarian male, wood elf female, dwarf male, gnome male in the first screen shot (further down the page at the sleeper awakening halfling female, dwarf male, iksar male, ogre male, barbarian male, human male, halfling male, half elf male):

The original post states that the helm is the wrong color.

You posted screenshots of players in helms but you don't know exactly what help they are wearing? Those could be Thurg helms...

This is not a bug.

All armor tints go off your race's Thurgadin set as its base.

So, for example, the Kael Paladin quest armor is supposed to be the following bright blue.

The above color will blend with whatever color your race's Thurgadin armor set is. For that reason, the Paladin Kael armor set appears correctly on Humans because their base Thurgadin set is white.

But take the same armor on a High Elf Paladin and the armor is green. That is because the bright blue color is getting blended with gold.

http://i.imgur.com/rSY9TGa.jpg

Note that the helmet is bright blue, even though the rest of the armor is green.

That is because the Thurgadin base helmet slot isn't gold, it's white.

Green Armor = Gold + Bright Blue

Bright Blue Helmet = White + Bright Blue

Because of this, your helmet slot may appear a different color than your armor.

I hope this makes sense.

[Bohab]

Not sure how this helps my case...

BUT... it does appear the Custom Crown of the Myrmidon does have a tint.

Left is Myrmidon, right is Champion:

It appears to be a case of lighting. In some lighting (mostly dark) the Myrmidon helm matches very well while in other lighting it's more silverish than the other Myrmidon armor pieces. /shrug

Not sure if working as intended...

Sorry, fashionquest is a big deal to me! Thanks!

Thanks for your post! Makes sense... but I'm still disappointed. :(

The base woof elf Thurg set is white yet it doesn't appear correctly?

[Sage Truthbearer]

The base woof elf Thurg set is white yet it doesn't appear correctly?

To clarify, I didn't test your specific situation but just wanted to explain why in many cases your helmet may not match the rest of your armor set.

For the female Wood Elf, their base Thurgadin armor does seem to be completely white.

I don't see why the Skyshrine or Kael tints should not be uniform in color, with matching helmets.

I believe this is correct. Custom helms didn't change colors with different sets of armor.

As posted above, for example, the high elf 'cat hat' wasn't anything but white iirc.

Could use some more discussion and screenshots.

[Colgate]

yea i don't remember seeing any tinted custom helms on live

[Raev]

To me this is the most convincing screenshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20011206140826im_/http://prexus.com/ef/becky/sleepercrew.jpg

This is KTF's entire guild, and every one of the 10 custom helms is the base color. It's hard to imagine that with 10 crowns there at least one of them wouldn't have the armor color. Verdict: all custom crowns should have the same tint (nothing), and +1 Classic Quest points to Elethia.

Also I got a good chuckle out of KTF waking the sleeper on Prexus a mere 1 year into Velious, and apparently main monks still needed those shrouds! And they have a dwarf warrior with two SoDs! I'd say our server is pretty classic :D

[Morlaeth]

My Custom Templar's Helm is definitely as Purple as my BP and arms, much like the dwarf in Raev's screenshot. WTB white hat!

[nilbog]

Pending update:

Corrected Warrior, Cleric, Paladin, SK, and Bard custom helm color. They will appear as they do in the classic screenshots.
