    As per title. The Valkyrie Panopticon cosmetic shown here:

    which clearly has a black window tint, only after purchase, changes to red window tint instead:

    What was rather strange is that the preview of the cosmetic, seconds before purchasing it, also showed a black window tint, which is rather misleading to say the least.

    Would be nice to have this corrected to the advertised black tint.

    Errr, accidentally I found what the problem is - the canopy tint is linked to the applied decal color(s). If no decal is applied the canopy tint is black, as advertised. As soon as a decal is applied the canopy takes on the color of the mixture of the decal colors (?). For some decals it turns to almost white, for others rather strange (and fugly) hues of yellow, etc. By chance my outfit's decal is red and black so the canopy was dark red.

    Guess not much QA went into testing those new cosmetics, eh?

    Anyway, would appreciate for this to get fixed. Would like to continue using my outfit's decal on my Valkyrie despite spending money on that cosmetic item.
