Dev groups! Please notice these important issues! About dye-able gears.

[Whanext]

First of all, I am not a native American speaker. So if I have any grammar mistakes, I sincerely apologize. So it will be great if you can understand the basic meaning of my ideas.

1. It is really great to have upcoming 3.1 function for trying multiple gears at the same time, this is one of my old concerns. So is that possible to also add the "try to dye" function on the "try on" window? Not only me but also lots of people on reddit tried to ask or search how does a weapon or gear look on different dyes. So it will be awesome to try on a weapon or gear, and we can also change the color of weapon or gear under "try on" window.
Currently, we can only see how different color works on a weapon or gear after we obtained it. It is really ridiculous.

2. There are so many not dye-able gears in this game. For example, the gears from coils or the gears from CT, ST, WOD. Those gears are pretty awesome! But you cannot dye them! These make me so sad. I am sure that many other people also want to dye them in the near future. So I want to know how is the idea of Dev groups? Will you make those gears to be dye-able? And also for some low level gears, such as Foestriker's Skirt. We lost lots of good models due to undye-able.

3. Will there be a function to dye different color on multiple pieces on a single gear? For example, we can choose to dye Chaos Cuirass's upper body's armor in black but the cloak on the back in white.

Thank you for your patience! These questions really frustrated me as a enthusiast of glamour.

All great suggestions. The dye system in this game (like... a lot of ffxiv's vanity systems) feels so ancient. All gear needs to be dyeable, and it would be really nice if we could have multiple dye channels like tons of other mmos. :/

I didn't know being able to preview multiple pieces was coming, so that's nice. About time...

I agree with the OP 100%

take note devs! Glamor is TRU END GAME!

Reminder, For those wishing for dyeable gear from older content and to allow multiple dye.
1) Each art piece has to be edited to allow for the color palette.
2) multiple dye requires a more intensive undergoing of point 1
Both of which will take time, and that time that goes into it could cost a lot of nice art work somewhere else. I'm sure they keep going back and allowing old gear to be dyeable, but it is not a top priority. OP, i do love your suggestions, just hope something is not sacrificed to make it happen. A little here and there over time would be nice.

A little here and there over time... to get FFXIV's vanity systems even close to the quality of other games... No, they really need to buckle down and improve things.

Next time make a place holder post and edit it will let you go beyond the 1000, character limit.

I don't do much dying but would like a better system.

I miss the glamour system from DCUO any gear you have equiped in the past now becomes a glamour item simply by selecting it from a drop down menu. As soon as you equip the gear, it becomes binding though. Also there was simply a color spectrum you clicked on to change the color. Every gear piece had a primary, secondary and tertiary color as well. No glamour prisms or dye involved. But that would free up a lot of inventory space, which SE probably doesn't want.

Hahahaha. Sad but true. It seems they design their game systems specifically to be as convoluted and inventory-demanding as possible. They are the antithesis to streamlined, player-friendly game systems.
