Colored gear with specific classes.

Bumping for the devs to see - yay for Monday.

I don't understand what you mean by colors. You mean the different hues of brown are exclusive to some classes? o_O() They claimed that the color coding has some failed logic in it that they're planning to remove.

I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that today is a national holiday in Japan. We may be looking at tomorrow before we hear anything.

Doubt you'll hear anything then. They tend to not respond when they know the answer they have isn't the one we want to hear.

Hah, I was thinking that, but this is the one issue I do actually expect some sort of response to. The other one that I care about (constant disconnects, I've only been on the forums the past few days because I'm looking for information on that issue!) is the one I expect to be met with the Great Wall of Oh-Did-Someone-Say-Something?

Yup, go look at the gear in the market wards. Undyed gear is generally available to all classes but a colored one, let's say a a Cotton Shepherd's Tunic (green) is only available to Disciplines of the Hand/Land.

At first, I was talking about just the color being class specific, but the stats are also bothering me too.

You are probably spot on. I can imagine the devs thinking "We spent months programming this in and now they want it reversed after a few days? Hmm, let me think.............NO." Most players wanted something different than Tanaka was planning. This certainly is different, not what people wanted but we aren't in control of the development. First everyone screamed "get rid of Tanaka" then they screamed "We love Yoshi", now they scream "Yoshi makes us sad :(". SE will probably throw up their hands in frustration and just do whatever they want.

I'd liked to have seen a dye system similar to guild wars or rift but we got what we got and will have to live with it for a while, perhaps forever.

Wow, what's with the sudden defeatism?

I mean, why bother with the feedback forums at all, in that case?

'Fact remains we were ill-informed and mis-lead with regard to how colours would work in the run-up to patch 1.19, and a lot of people aren't pleased about it. There's an even more vocal thread speaking against this on the Japanese subforum (the one that inevitably matters most) and I wouldn't be surprised if there were similar ones in the others, too.

Yes, the developers have a nasty habit of keeping quiet on problem issues (though not always), but they generally speak up, even on difficult subjects, when questions pick up this much steam on this many of the subforums.

And again, yes, someone has pointed it out: today is a Japanese national holiday. We will most likely not get an official response until tomorrow at the earliest.

And while we're at it, 'everyone' didn't scream "get rid of Tanaka" or "we love Yoshi". A majority might have but God knows, I and a fair few others certainly didn't, and I think we're all starting to realise that either way it's Yoichi Wada and co' ought have received all the vitriol for the initial mess, however happy he and the other S-E executives may be to let grow this popular idea of Tanaka as some sort of feckless jerk with whom the fault lies in its entirety.

The reason that different colored equipment now offer different stats was because when making the item-related adjustments, the team changed it so you can easily differentiate stat differences by the color of the gear.

I understand that some people want dyes to just be an aesthetic-only option, and I'll be sure to pass that along to the dev. team along with other feedback.

I think this is great, so long as there are more colors to choose from. If people care more about aesthetics than stats, they should have no problem sacrificing stats for aesthetics.

The people who wan't both will never be satisfied so don't even bother.
