SE Allow us to color all pieces of gear not just a part of it

[Ninix]

so what u have jus said makes no since what so ever. they need to jus stop with the whole reusin old models

No, it makes perfect sense. I am sorry you are unable to understand it. They're not going to make new armor models for *every* single new piece of gear they release. They already make new models for Coil, CT, token gear, seasonal items, some vanity stuff, and occasionally a new dungeon set (like the ones that drop from Brayflox/Halatali/Lost City). That's a lot of art assets being created for every patch. But they add more gear sets every patch than they have unique armor models, so they need to reuse models somewhere. I'm not defending or condemning the practice, I'm simply explaining the reality of it. Sure, you could ask SE to stop being "lazy" but once you realize how much work it takes to design a new piece of armor you'll understand why they don't add 10 new sets with every single patch.

I *guarantee* there will be reused models in 2.3. I bet we'll see the new 2.2 dungeon sets recolored and dropped in a new dungeon or as part of a new crafting recipe, possibly even dyable. It won't be new armor, technically, since they're reusing models, but because you can't dye the original models to look exactly the same, it'll be new enough for them to re-release it.

u took what i said out of context i didnt mean them reusin ld armor models makes no since i meant wht u said about bein able to color thm doesnt, so let me reiterate. color a felt hat and a wool hate and tel me how they both look with the same dye, and ull see that they are different because of the textures, so again what u said about bein able to color thm does not make sence becuase each armor type has its own unique texture

Notice how, for example, there are like 6 bliaud armors in the game that all use the same model

each bilaud has its own texture dependin on its type, wool,felt,velveteen etc some for metal armor, cobalt,iron,silver, same for leather, boarskin, piesteskin, etc
geat each of the armrs and dye em and ull se a difference in how they look dyed

YES, OMG YES PLEASE!!!

Honestly, the secondary colors on most gear prevent you from using other colors than black, grey, *white* or another shade of the secondary color.
Goldsmith body, head and hands, Armorer body (scarf), darklight gear, various leather and scale armor,...

Also, most colors used on existing gear can't be matched with the colors available in the dye system.
White dye doesn't match white, light blue dye doesn't match light blue, black is not black, darklight red can't be matched with any dye either, and so on.
I'd love if SE could streamline their colors to either give us the same colors they used for making gear or change the colors to match our dyes.

EDIT:
The current system just makes it hard to really create your own look, because even if you use the same color on pieces of gear from different sets, the outcome doesn't match very well.
If I remember correclty, SWTOR did a nice job with dyes. You could just dye all pieces of gear to match your body armor for example, and the pieces would really look like they were a set.

We should be able to dye all of are gear including AF gear.

[Penguinmayhem]

I'd be happy with an ability to dye the metric fuckton of gear items currently in the game that just plain can't be dyed at all. Such as ALMOST EVERY SINGLE UNIQUE ITEM

[Kelg]

squeenix plz

[AmalahRose]

I want this, I love the Spring Dress but would love to be able to dye the rest of it instead of the trim.

[Arkine]

I'm ok with making the dye function like it does on darklight. Where every part of the item gets a shade of the dye used.

I support this!
