I wanna preface this post by saying that I absolutely adore everything presented in the PTS! I will be staying away from anything stats related as I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to that area of the game. As such this post will be to highlight potential bugs and make suggestions on things I'd personally like to see come with the full patch.

GENERAL THOUGHTS:

I think all the new cosmetics presented are awesome! It's genuinely so wonderful to see some new content for the free players who don't have any of the DLCs but still want to interface with the customization a bit more. I'm also genuinely very interested to see how we can go about unlocking these new cosmetics as the 4 new shoulder pads don't seem to be prestige rewards. That being said I do see some issues currently in place. For example, the Sniper doesn't actually have access to 3 of the new shoulder pads and can only access the bonding stud shoulder pad. Hopefully this is a glitch and not something done on purpose. I also think the lack of any cosmetics for the left pauldron feels a bit weird and would like to see more be added! PVP also has an issue with customization, in specific the chaos side of things. Chaos once again gets the short end of the stick and does NOT have access to hand customization. This is very strange to me as in the past we had access to things like the sergeant marking for helmets (which has since been removed). I also feel that players should have access to the cosmetic DLCs for the duration of the PTS, regardless of if they own it or not. I think allowing players to get a taste for DLC stuff would give them more of an incentive to buy the DLC if they really come to like it, especially since the PTS won't last forever. I think it would also just be helpful as potential bugs could also be introduced to DLC content without us knowing. All in all the new cosmetic content is fantastic and I cannot wait for patch 7 to drop!

MY IDEAS:

-Allow players to have access to DLC cosmetics for the duration of the PTS

-Allow the Mark IV pauldron to be used on both shoulders

-Allow the Mark VI pauldron to be used on both shoulders

-Give the sniper class access to all 4 new pauldrons instead of just the bonding stuff pauldron (Mark IV)

-Allow players to change the color of the bonding studs

POTENTIAL BUGS:

-The studs on the Mark IV shoulder pauldron are not able to be customized, no matter what you change

-Multiple cosmetic pieces have their colors effected by general rules only, using custom rules does not work (this mainly affects the backpacks)

-The new prestige cosmetic on the Heavy class has a glowing red eye, this also transfers over to the other relic tier iron halo with no way to get rid of it

-In PVP chaos does not have access to hand customization

-Hovering over the Space Wolves left greave makes the kneepad change slightly in shape, this only happens on the tactical class and bulwark (on Bulwark it removes the small armor piece on the greave)

-The master crafted left gauntlet for Heavy has the purity seal inside his arm partially

-When in the custom pattern segment for Heavy (the chapter customization section) the master crafted and relic left gauntlet display incorrectly, showing the purity seal floating away from the arm, instead of on it
