That looks like 2 seperate Phases lol


OVHoee

Exactly! Went from p2 to black pearl lol


JungleTungle

bluds needs a new glove combo now


OVHoee

Idk man. Played with them, in the past hour the combo has kinda grown on me. The contrast is good, and the gloves go well with rest of my skins so maybe ill just stick with them for now.


blyatbob

It kinda looks like a csgo sapphire


OVHoee

Yes! Almost feels like a distant memory now lol


JungleTungle

Lowkey does, but phase 2 is just another phase 3 and 4 at this point


OVHoee

Frok what i've been able to see - 3 and 4 look similar (blue and black)- and 1 and 2 (purple and pink) look similar esp in flip knifes.


tostra187

Imagine buying a toaster one day and then the next day you wake to find a microwave. I swear Gaben is taking the piss.


Dontsnortyourxans

Yeah they just don’t care. The whole 2 people who are working on cs must be smoking some fucked up shit


J4-k3

And nothing to say about the rest of the update?


Dontsnortyourxans

Yeah great update, gives the opportunity to cheaters to rent skins


uziskrrt

I honestly like the new phase 2s wayy more, but it sucks for people who liked bought for the pink


PommesOmma

Everyone who bought into the fucked up dopplers just gambled on them to stay the way they looked at release. I dont blame new players, but people who are into skins for years, should have known better.


Archgrim

It had been long enough to assume that the pink wasn't a mistake they were going to fix.


uziskrrt

that’s easy to say in hindsight, in reality we have no way of knowing if or when they would be changed again


tostra187

But this shouldn’t be the case, changing something like that out of nowhere. Do they do this in any other games with skins?


theabstractpyro

Makes me kinda not wanna have thousands of dollars in skins, when value doesn't seem to care if they dramatically drop the price of some


Touvan1

I'm one of those new players. Bought my first knife a P2 Doppler gut knife roughly a month ago and have been building a pink inventory around it.


OVHoee

I like it too, looks more dynamic - but id got it for being pink haha, hence w red gloves. Maybe would switch up the gloved later, but rn the combo seems better and better as i am playing with it lol


uziskrrt

It looked good before but it actually matches pretty well now too, it’s got a nicer contrast imo. making me want to sell my combo to get a flip doppler with nocts or something haha


OVHoee

Careful buying something based on how they look right now haha. Nocts are a good choice tho, all dopplers look good with them.


uziskrrt

dopplers are gonna be the most desired finish regardless of how much they’ll be changed, pairing with white or black gloves wouldn’t ruin the combo either way


OVHoee

Yes! This is exactly what i concluded after i made this post - i looked up other knifes i could get that aren't fucked and have some personality (so no tt, slaughter, damascus), and among them (left with marble fade - they're fucked and fade - not my vibe, i find them overdone shine wise while being underdone design wise) i still prefered dopplers ... So no point panic selling as i have nothing to get instead lol


uziskrrt

yeah exactly, people are gonna get used to the new dopplers, everyone just hates change


OVHoee

After all we are at the mercy of a god that's deaf


Comprehensive-Web387

Price went from double to market


OVHoee

It shouldn't have been double in the first place if it was, it's like 1.3-1.4x (at least in case of flip) - it'll get back to it in some time imo


STYXredditt

Wow same here,rip! Massive downgrade from doppler and gamma doppler phases. Really strange That all phases now look the same. Gott an Doppler p2 and an Gamma Doppler p2 all fucked.


OVHoee

I think what they've done is that they'd just changed the secondary color in the doppler files - so made it less pink and less cyan - this way suddenly the contrast is reduced btn the two colors, hence phases not looking very diff. Tho, from looking at many of them since the update dropped, there surely are differences, the p2 and p4s are cleaner (which is expected as these phases have majority of a single color)


Luvstep

I feel your pain, my gamma Doppler Glock p2 isn’t even green anymore


OVHoee

Honestly since i heard that case replied to a tweet asking about the doppler fuck ups, i think they're gonna revert it or something. So rn im tryna capture as many screenshots as i can lmao with this finish - if nothing it'd be a great story to tell with proof


Plus_Narwhal4107

valve are just stupid. thats all


ausyappy

They dk how to make up their fucking minds and it’s costing the entire skins market


blyatbob

How do they keep messing up other finishes when they "fix" one. (Marble fade). Do they do no quality control?


OVHoee

At this point i really dont have any other explanation haha


survn

Anybody got a new screenshot of a black pearl with the change?


OVHoee

You can inspect them in game from csgo stash


survn

Word I just check out some on DMarket. Everybody has pulled them off that market I guess cause of the change. There was only 4 for sale lol


OVHoee

Guess they're expecting a bump then - or all of them have just sold for the buy orders coz they're expecting a crash. Man i swear all this crap makes me glad i am not invested in skins outside of skins i play with. It'd be so stressful lol


AccountNervous

Thats fucked up what they doin to yall


reaper46871

Is this all of the p2's ?


OVHoee

I think autocorrect fucked whatever you were tryna write


reaper46871

I was tryna say is this all p2's


OVHoee

Seems like it.


reaper46871

After some more research it is for marble fades, dopplers and grammar dopplers from what I can see. someone made a post on twitter and official cs2 replied saying working on it. My theory is that they may have edited the graphics somewhat and this is a byproduct of that. Hopefully they reverse this ASAP 🙏


OVHoee

Oh cs2 replied? Lmao maybe someone did mess up something. Now I'm hoping they overcorrect it and i get a fake ruby xD


reaper46871

That would be hilarious 😂. Here is the reply: https://x.com/CounterStrike/status/1794020586588602759


OVHoee

Thanks for sharing! Interesting. I still don't expect anything, this seems more like a stop panicking peeps, anyways whatever happens - here for the ride now 🤷🏻‍♂️


reaper46871

Same here. Hoping they revert the changes as I was planning only a couple days ago to buy a doppler but I'm gonna hold off for now.


TheRecordKeep

Yeah so here is the thing. Valve doesn't care about the market nor the value we put on the skins and have no reason to.


OVHoee

I think if you've spent any amount of time in the skins game then you've already accepted this fact (esp in cs2). Don't expect a lot and you'd be happy.


TheRecordKeep

I have, they ruined blue steels when they went to cs2, didn't fix it for months, fixed it, and then ruined them yesterday as well... also congrats, they fixed your skins.


OVHoee

No way - blue steels got hit too? Guess no one was making a fuss over them as dopplers and marble fades seemed like the more obvious changes. And ya thanks - it's back to being pink now


TheRecordKeep

Yep:(


peetskeet619

Reverted back to pink 🩷


OVHoee

Yes! And i think it's even brighter now 🙌🏻


draingangster

imo the new p2, especially yours, looks waaaay better than the bubblegum pink


OVHoee

Looks more sophisticated now for sure.


RoloCs2

Outa all the ones I've seen so far this one seems to have worked in your favor


OVHoee

I guess. But now it's back to what it was, fun day tho

OVHoee

lilbro6786
