Petition To Allow Dying of Darklight and Other Non-Dye Gears

Hello Eorzea!

I don't know about anyone else, but I am sure sick of seeing everyone look the exact same come end-game. Seriously, it's out of hand.

It is understandable that the class Artifact Armor should remain restricted, but there's really no reason why Darklight gear, and future end-game gear like it, should not have the ability to be dyed. The system is in the game, it's a shame that it's not fully functional. (There are also a few low-level dungeon pieces that can't be dyed as well that should)

Because everyone is black and white and red all over in Darklight gear and I feel like I'm drowning in Hot Topic when I go to Revenant's Toll.

Please, SE! Expand on the dye system and make the world more colorful!

Thoughts folks? I mean, I don't see why anyone would disagree with them expanding the dye system, if you really want your gear to be black, white, red, ect. then you don't have to dye it.

This.

However, I hate to burst your bubble but they probably can't even keep up with yet another request. Probably doesn't matter how simple it is to implement.

Anyway, hopefully--huh? Damn, I'm jaded with these guys and it's only been a few months. >.<;

I dont see as much of a problem. i see way to many Vanya sets in dyed format. Darksteel as well in dyed format. maybe because i dont care what others wear as long as they are geared.

True, I don't expect this implemented overnight, it'll be a process. I'm hoping at least they could pull it off before 2.1 is released because that will likely add another set of new gear. If anything, Darklight can remain as it is as long as they take dying into consideration for the future progression sets.

I wish. x.x

But I don't even think they'd have it in for 2.1. They have so much crap to fix. *beats head against wall*

+1 for all armor dye

YOU GOTTA HAVE FAITH! *ques George Michael*

Yes! I am huge on aesthetics to the point where I have neglected upgrading certain items simply to stand out :/

I support this.

Every person doing the same content looks the same, it's very old.

Let us die AF too. Please. It's "our" game.

The sameness will only get worse when they add wardrobes. Everyone will run around in what looks like relic or AF.

i wanna dye the joke of AF2 bard.

god yes, this is needed. get people looking SOMEWHAT different >_<

If I see one more petition thread, especially one for a beaten-to-death topic, I"m going to scream.

1) no petition in the history of the internet has ever really mattered, making it a pointless effort.

2) taking what could be ordinary discussion and slapping the word 'petition' in front of it doesn't have any effect on the discussion (other than me making a comment like this) nor does it increase the likes you receive.

I guess it would be nice...if I could dye my body.
So that not everybody has got a body like me.

Why dont you use AF2? Instead of the darklight stuff?

/signed

If the devs want to hold the AF designs as sacred/iconic, I don't agree but there's a solid following behind it so fine go with that. But give us the rest of the gear at least. Nothing iconic/lore friendly about a Paladin running around in a pitch-black armor set (Example: Darklight) or a Black Mage running around in a set of white robes just because the said robes were white by default (Example: it will come up if the dye restrictions stay as strict as they are currently).

Well, that is the last set to earn so Darklight comes first. But more importantly the concept of dyeing AF gear is rather controversial as opposed to a pretty solid majority that wants the Darklight/Other non-AF gear dyeable.

AF 2 looks mostly hideous imo. Not to mention they clash so badly with any combination of DL or Tox. If I could entirely skip most pieces of AF for alternate gear I would. Not to mention my Relic looks like a 90's Gundam buid it kit attached to my back. Bah why can't I keep Garuda's Spine forver :(

Lies and slander!

Although I do feel bad for starting the petition: movement.

But really the tag Petition: isn't anything bad if anything people at least know what they are walking into. It's better than just having a title that scream I WANT SOMETHING! the fact they are starting a petition means they are interested in getting support and a active discussion about the topic at hand going.

If only.. certain items like the artefact gear being locked out of dying I can understand but it really should only be the really special stuff. The unique things most people won't be wearing for a significant chunk of their playtime following normal progression.

While we're at it, bring back Chocobo dyes from FFXI.

"Implementing this would take too many resources/is impossible in the current engine, and we have no plans of making basic things dyeable. But here's player housing. Look forward to it."

Prove my prediction wrong SE.

Signed.

10chars.

Who cares the dying when gear has no bonus set and don't penalize the use of spare parts. Building armor need to be more deep and complex

I would love to dye my DL gear!

This one I'd hold off on, if only because it would undermine the chocobo husbandry system which they've suggested might involve different coloured breeds.

I personally wouldn't mind this. I was hoping to go for a blue theme for this character

I wanna dye my WHM AF gear so I can run around looking like a Shinsengumi!

Yes plz allow us to dye all sets of gear

signed....

Signed. Just another thing that should already be in game...

I totally agree. I think AF armor should remain locked, even if it would be nice to run around as a Purple Summoner!

Signed! All gear except for artifact should be able to be dyed

Dying the Darklight gear doesn't change the fact that I'm still wearing the ugly-as-hell Darklight Cowl and the tanks are still wearing a tin can. I hate the hooded robes that you can't put the hoods down on. I hate the tin-can armor sets that you can't make the helmet invisible on.

You want to know the real answer to the "everyone looks the same" problem? Vanity Slots. And Square Enix has already said those are coming.

This is also an issue, and yeah, vanity slots will help a lot.

I wouldn't mid it so much if we had vanity slots but, I think all armor should be dyable. Also, why can't we use materia in endgame armor? lol

darklight has too many details to be dyed.
dark metal, gray metal, red details, gray leather, dark gray leather.
from what i noticed, when you dye something, usually it is just one part of the whole piece that changes color.

Completely agree here, would love more liberal usage of dyes.

So pick a color, make that dyeable. Far better than nothing at all.

I'm quite eager to see the vanity system put in place, but Square keeps taking their sweet time with it. Making the currently gear dyeable should only require a few hours effort on their part, so that would at least be a start.

Heck given there are alt colors of AF gear that scream "dyed" worn by the quest NPCs all the gear might already be dyeable, just requiring Square to "enable" them, which would make it take all of 10 minutes development time to add for 2.1.

Personally I hate set bonuses as I think they over-complicate streamlining gear (example: can't wear a superior piece because of some gimmicky vital set bonus effect on one of my moves). And it further encourages cookie-cutter appearance syndrome. But I admit I could be a minority on this one.

If you dye one you have to dye them all. Personally I believe that there should be an item (similar to fantasia) available on the mogstation that you can purchase that will allow for one free set dye and that includes af. With a purchase cap of about 3 per month using the crysta in your account. Also include fantasia whlie your at it. SE makes a bit of money and people can dye their stuff. Its a win-win situation.
