Coloured Dyes Removing: 'Shader effect'

[Gramul]

Greetings,

We checked with the Graphics team to see if there was anything shady going on regarding this, and they wanted us to pass along their reasoning as to why the appearance of gear changes after being dyed.

Metal equipment was created to have an enamel-like look to it when it is dyed, just like if you painted something metallic in real life. Similarly, cloth equipment was also designed to function the same way as real life, so the texture changes when it is dyed because the cloth is soaking up the dye.

As both types of equipment were created like this intentionally, the team does not have any plans to change the textures.

But...it looks terrible.
Like really outright terrible

It's why people don't paint metal very often in real life.

Nonsense.

Please don't defend them for this. It's a pointless feature that makes armor look worse. The realism excuse makes no sense when you consider nearly literally everything else this game has to offer. There is a difference between Matte and Gloss paint. And the rare times people do paint metal, it's usually with a gloss paint.


If they're so intent on leaving this the way it is, they could at least provide us with a gloss option.
