Concern about the future of gear detail and dyeability

[Iscah]

I wish I didn't have to be bumping this, but I just got the steampunk aristocrat Baronial set and once again it is covered in "high detail" scuffs and mud splatters. I just want gear that looks nice and not weathered.

i hate that they constantly release gear with non-dyable parts that are colors that dont match any dyes we have...

The baronial set is the biggest laughing stock. Brand new, just handed to you and they have dirt smudges and scratches all over it. Boots are probably the only piece of the set I'll use.

I really wish they would let us dye the secondary colors. There are so many pieces I don't use in my glams because I can only dye parts of it.

Bumping this up again because we've just had the Fan Fest presentation of them showing off their upgraded armour textures, going "look at the weathering! Look at the rust and battle damage!" ...and I'm just here dreading it, and wondering if anything will ever dye properly after this.

While a lot of it looks good, I was wondering the exact SAME thing. I hope this doesn't mean things will continue to dye like crap. They saw the crowd's reaction to 2 dye slots, so I hope they don't mess it up. I feel like they desperately need to update the dye system in general. If I dye something red, I want it RED. I don't want it salmon pink or orange. It's frustrating.

This annoys me soooo much!

All I'm doing today is complaining about clown glamours but!!! The clown coat is so cute, I love the double neck ruff and the coat tails but it dyes horribly!! I want it BLACK not chalky grey!

The dye system is terrible. If I want 3 different pieces to match, I normally have to use 3 different shades of a color to get them to look close enough to the same shade.

Colors washing out or turning into a completely different color on half of an item also ruins a lot of looks that could otherwise have been great. Is that intentional or some screwed up color calculations?

Probably not entirely on topic, but hopefully not completely off-topic either? I love that they've been adding pieces that emulate hair, like the Yakaku Kamidome and Shishu Gozen Kanzashi, but unless your character happens to have a hair colour that's somewhat close to the available dyes it doesn't match, doesn't look like (your) hair, and completely defeats the purpose of it.

Maybe this is impossible but it'd be great if the undyed version automatically adapted to match your hair and you could still dye it if you wanted it to be another colour for whatever reason.

Just adding to this, since I got the new Gleaner outfit last night. Seems like the All Saints Clown coat from a couple years back in the way it dyes: very faded and “weathered.” Which is a shame, because I love the outfit other than that! Only a few dyes really show up nicely on it from each color palette… I’m using ink blue to give it a more dark denim feel.
