Quite disappointed that it took you 5 days to find that out. Now i don't really want them anymore either if everyone and there grandmother is running around as Powerranger Gold...

I get it. You want to corner the market in this and you're being denied the chance. I feel your pain, knowing that other players who, without even trying are being rewarded with a princely number of metallic gold dyes. I mean...FOUR DYES?! Scandal! That's almost enough to dye an entire outfit a garish gold color.

OR you can look at it the sane way and realize that you ended up with black, silver, and white in their stead (as when a dye came up on the loot table, it's not like you were denied it, you just got a different color). These are going to be the colors that most people are going to want, so why complain about it? If you wanted these for yourself, you're getting them in your moogle mail.

This is slightly off topic, but does anyone know if we'll be able to get these colors on our chocobo? I would seriously love a jet black one. :D

Highly doubt it, especially with the metallic colors.

Huh? Am I crazy or did anyone else dye furniture?
Cause I got like freakin 8 pots of pure white (uggh -_-) & I decided to dye my alc coat & two pieces of furniture in my personal room.
So while I understand you're bummed about the ventures & what not I think we can dye furniture.

I definitely appreciate the team providing everyone some pots of these gold dyes. It's very nice of them.

I must say though, I find the gold dye rather ugly. It seems to be more of a brassy bronze than gold.

I think giving everybody 50 ventures instead would have been better. Plastering the entire server in gold this way detracts from the appeal of unique dyes; players who put a lot of effort into getting them wanted to stand out.

But we appreciate the update, thanks! Hope to see the other metallic colors soon. ;)

Anyways - Thank you announcing it pre Hotfix, 2 days more to send my retainers back to useful stuff ('-')/

While I don't want to see everything gold, the randomness of getting the dyes sort of eats away at the 'effort' required. Yeah, you can brute force your way to the dyes more or less, or you could get them without actually trying. I personally was unaware that they'd been implemented, though I've only done about 20 quick ventures over the past week.

Who cares if everyone gets them at the same time? No one person puts in more effort than the next when it comes to doing ventures. There's zero skill involved and most of the time spent with ventures is clicking "Quick Exploration" each hour. I'd see if this content were gated behind hard to defeat bosses or a challenging mini-game then I'd be inclined to agree. Unfortunately, the only challenge about ventures are how much RNGesus loves you at the time. Rejoice in the fact that we won't have to deal with the random that is loot acquisition for once.

You can use the black and white on housing items, unfortunately though you cannot use the silver, or (I'm presuming) the gold :( oh well, can't win em all!
