more dye tones and glasses please.

it would be relly nice to get the colour im wanting its sad when you dye a item blue and it looks more greenish or tealish.

personaly i would like to have more use for the dyes i gather.mabey mix them or make gear two toned.or just used the dye to redo our highlights?

the glasses im dissapointed in how there mostly dated and the non dated few dont come in many colours yellow clear and blue.why cant we make green high lvled glasses or red ones our just use all the dye's we currently have we have a varity of colours but not many of those dyes will ever be used ive seen purple dye but there isent anything to do with it far as i can see.

gear needs more coloured added to it.i dont see it being a balence issue seeing as the dye's don't affect the armor's stats in anyway.what if i want a purple or blue or green rap or piesty sub why arent we able to dye those but we can dye the other ones dont understand that,

new dye's would be great to have so there wont be just people runnin with red robes only.if nothing else let us mix dyes for new colours mabey randomize it.

if all else fails lets just get a spectrum dye with a chance to get a spectrum style colour.fruit loops anyone?

they could have different recipes for dye

say you put cobalt body and dye in for a synth, it could give you 2 options to pick from instead of one, red, blood red. this way it wouldn't take up more inv space,

They're adding a colorID system in 2.0 which will allow you, if I remember correctly, dye all gear all colors (with the goal of total colors being 28-32).

yes pleeez!^ ^ ^ ^

We are getting 28-32 colours in 2.0 supposedly.

Edit - beaten lol, i need to learn to read before I post.

thats all fine and dandy for more in 2.0 but i wasent talking about 2.0

it seems the only answers i get as of late is wait til 2.0 witch itself is not relly a answer.

i dont like how were almost forgotten about for our current build.

yes were getting jobs and im glad about it.but i do hope they will allow us to dye the job gear af or not.

and with mats being as they are it almost seems like the reason we have to craft atm is to beable to do melds.

i hope 2.0 can meet many of the playerbase expectations seeing as so many are rellying on it to be the answer.

but it wouldent kill them to pay a little bit more attention to there current build and playerbase.

tho i have to say i am curious of how the dye system will work in 2.0 as well i have to wonder if our craft jobs will be getting a major overhaul or not am curious to see.

anythoughts?

The reason SE is waiting until 2.0 to add most of the things we want usually falls into one of these catagories:

1. The current server system can't support the changes needed to give the players what they want OR even if it can, the amount of time they'd have to spend re-writing the code etc is better spent in other ways. Esp. when the coding seems to be far easier on the new servers.

2. It's a player 'vanity' wish, that while a nice touch, does not change the gameplay in any way shape or form...but rather again, just requires more time and energy on the DEV side that is better spent elsewhere. Even though many of these changes are small, they add up quick.

3. The current small player base doesn't support the need for a greater change. And again, it's easier for SE to wait until the release of 2.0 to do it.

...or some combination of the 3.

In this case, clothing color is a complete vanity thing. Quite frankly, while important to you, its very low on the to-do list of SE. They gave us some color choices now, but that was mostly do to this: 1. New recipe changes. 2. To replace a dye/craft system that was a little cumbersome. 3. To get those of us still playing use to the idea, and to allow us to 'test it' (Our 'testing' informed SE we don't like stats tied to color for example so they changed that). But for the most part, every system of the game is 'bare bones' or ' hey, lets see what they think of this' until 2.0 comes out. It's not the answer you want, but it's why and what is happening until the 'magical' 2.0 arrives.

Also, don't expect to dye,change your job specific gears... pretty positive they will be undyeable, rare-ex gears.

This is absolutely correct. I believe there's a dev post somewhere saying that they aren't considering it because the colors are part of the job identity, e.g. the red and white on WHM robes. They'd probably cave if there was massive player support, but I doubt that'll happen. We're a bunch of nostalgic traditionalists in some ways.

Great job outlining the major reasons we hear 'Wait until 2.0...'!

And we have a winner. Something like this couldn't be implemented with the game as it stands now and they're waiting on the changes in 2.0 to do it. We're getting an entirely new graphics engine and server system with 2.0, that's why a lot of these changes are for/after 2.0.

thanks for the info of the logic.

i get problems when i look for specific answers thru the forums for some reason.

while i understand why we cant do job af gear.

i do up they relly make some new styles.

i have to wonder what kind of future lore change or fashion styles will release with 2.0.

im hopeing they release the sub and harness the npc mithra has for the great buffalo faction leve in limsa black harness with ruby shoulderpads and crest and the leoperd print bottom peice

FWIW gear in 2.0 won't just look different due to colour, say for example.

A Felt Robe of Mind will look different in design to a Felt Robe of Intellect.

I've recently come back after going away for a while, and while the new streamlined crafting system is a Godsend, I really miss the variety of nearly equivalent choices of different styles of gear to use for any given spot. Still can't seem to dye any of my metal armor though...

I keep hearing about release 2.0, but I haven't heard anything less vague than 'this winter'. Has an actual date been said anywhere, or a description of this colorID function that Arcell mentioned earlier?

For the release date, check out the roadmap here: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...ser/index.html

I do notice a lack of any shirt (except grand company) for level 41+ DoM. Therefore there is no meldable shirt. (Although there is one for every tier below).

I do notice a lack of meldable glasses for level 41+ (there is a preserve but those are goggles not glasses, and then there is a monocole which is one short of glasses ^.^;).

Therefore if you are a DoM and wish to wear a shirt & glasses with T3 or T4 materia you are out of luck ; ;

Which is odd, and I'm almost wondering if it is an oversight/mistake? (Since these items are available for levels below 41).

They have Mythril Spectacles (Level 35). If they introduce same but call it Darksteel Spectacles (Level 45) then that would be great.

They have Linen and Woolen Shirts (Level 31 -> 40). If they made Woolen Shirt level 41, then T3/T4 materia could be attached. Or perhaps add a Felt Shirt.

hope once they do all these changes in 2.0 they will allow red to be well red.give us dye tones so we can get the colour we wants please.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but reading that translation, it sounds like he's saying the current colors can't be expanded on because each color is a different texture, and that they're working on a system that lets you freely alter your color to any color coordinate without requiring a re-texturing of it, and that you'll have a full 24bit or 32bit color range to choose from. The translation doesn't specifically say "bit", but I think that might be what he's talking about.
