Can we get 'dye layers' for our gear?!

I'd want them to start with the Dye layering at the very beginning of an expac, then have a separate team work their way backwards to the most used glamours (and gear that shares models with said glamours). But I also want it to be optional, as some gear might look better in monochrome as opposed to having 2 or more separate colors (and as budget/QoL means for people that only want to use one pot of dye on their pieces like they do now), and in the case of Savage drops have those be the ones with dye layers while having the normal versions be Dyable but with only 1 layer

Oh we definitely need new dyes, and that reminds me of the Minfilia's Modish attire off the mogstation again. That set is actually pink and doesn't really match the white dyes. I like the outfit, but that just ruins it.

I think in regards to the issue with the server load , they could start simple . add maybe a few outfits that are glamour only that gives the feature of multiple dyes . I guess it could be a start to maybe "test the waters?"

I don't believe this crap for one second.

i think its more like something something engine problem

i mean think about it, they still cant fix the hair clipping problem after all this years, making a separate layer to dye is probably impossible for them

I'm reasonably sure this is where they're at. I think we'll get another MMO before we get all the customization we've been asking for. There's just too much old holding back the new in this game.

I agree GW2 and BDO have this system I don't think it'd be a bad idea at all it makes stuff more visually interesting and choosing what we dye, like the Dancer Miseria gear. You can dye the fabric but not the pink designs on it or the little feathery things.

Even if the OP meant clothes layering (eg. v-neck sweater over tshirt as separate player selectable pieces) if they're using "server load" as an excuse they need better engineers or actually give a straight answer like "our engineering resources are required on other priorities".

Proper dye slots would involve a small amount engine work but would need a huge amount of labor from the art department to mark the areas to apply each additional dye. Further they'd need to make sure the textures don't cause the dyes to wash out or oversaturate.

They could potentially use some image processing tools to automate some of that but it would definitely need to be reviewed.
