Deep Rift cosmetics color
Please stop with the blue/bluer recolors.
You don't even have to make it unique or different, just anything but nonstop blue.
If you can't be bothered to make a proper recolor cosmetic like the ones in the store, just try black/red, black/grey, white/black, white/grey. Literally anything but blue.
Most of these skin end up being just clutter in my inventory because I will never dare to equip them.

I share the sentiment that additional blue deep rift cosmetics for the second year lack the excitement of the initial year. An alternative approach could involve community engagement by seeking votes for the next year's deep recolor during each anniversary. This way, the player community actively contributes to the decision-making process, with the stipulation that colors cannot repeat from previous years.
Next year, Yellow, Pink, White. The possibilities are endless!

When Deep Rift was first introduced, I had hoped every Rift would have its own Deep Rift coloration. Like the first could have been blue, the next could have been red, then green, something like that. A rotating cycle of unique color schemes would have been nice. I like blue but I like variety more.

There is a justifiable reason why the deep rift color is blue lorewise. Unless something happens in the lore that causes the rift to change color storywise; being the auris being corrupted or something, I see no reason for the deep rift to change.
But it's also why they give alternate default colors for rift skins for the characters that are focused in the tome. If you don't like blue, them the base skin would be a different color that isn't blue.

Sorry but that doesn't really fly when you have entire collections making to the store that are also heavily focused on the blue color.
Someone at BHVR just loves the color palette. Just like someone there loves an accessory hanging on character's back.
I like the idea of deep rift skins being different than the regular skin featured in the regular rift, I just want it to vary a little from blue.
Some skins are already blue in the regular rift and in the deep rift its blue again but bluer.

Yes! This would be so much better.

Well thats what makes the deep rift collection special. And i once again believe they wont change the color scheme because the lore currently doesnt let them. Besides, I do not recall any default rift skin being blue and repeating the same color scheme in deep rift.

I see your lore argument, but have you considered the following:
Who cares? Like, actually, who cares?
The devs certainly don't care. Have you seen what cosmetic descriptions look like now? No, the reason why they're been making everything blue is because its a low effort way for them to squeeze some more engagement time from players, since anyone that's already capped out the tome has already sunk enough time into the game in a given season for them to think "Eeeeeh, it's just 15 more levels, I can do that"
The deeprift doesn't exist because of lore, it exists because it pads out the game's engagement metrics, and that looks really nice to shareholders.
Given that, it would be really nice if they could actually put slightly more effort into the deep rift variants. Instead of just making everything blue, they could add some some extra bits to the costumes. If they really wanted to do something nice they could add in dye system. The default versions of the costumes can't be dyed but then the deeprift versions let you pick which colors you want on the accent parts that would normally just be lazily dipped in blue paint, at least then there'd a really good reason to get the deep rift versions since they'd offer you more customization than you'd get normally.

Honestly i'd rather them not do this. Deep rift is exclusive so if they started using colour palletes that looked appealing then there'd be people that would be upset that they missed out. Atm there's only a few that look good but for the most part they just prove that you did the rift.

The cosmetic description have gotten better after we complained about it. So that's fine. Even these rift skins have interesting lore descriptions. So I'm not worried about that at all. Besides, they could've just never included the deep rift levels/skins into the rift at all since you consider their work "low effort."

I wish they were more then just a blue recolor. Make them entirely unique skins. The only one I find myself using is Feng's blue one from the medieval rift.

This collection just entered the store, no deep rift involved:
I understood what you tried to say but it just ain't it.
Someone at BHVR just keeps using the blue color nonstop.

I agree the deep rift recolors need to alternate every rift. Blue every time is so boring, and the shade they use is so loud. It hardly matches with other pieces. If they keep going like this at a certain point 90% of all cosmetics in the game will be blue which is ridiculous.
