    This is... a really stupid decision. And the art team pulling the "realism" card is absurd. You want realism in the art style? Give me weapon harnesses and scabbards first. Oh, and long hair that doesn't clip through shields.

    Also a tail that doesn't magically appear through armor and clip the living daylights out of it would be nice...

    So what I read from that dev post was

    'Please start a petition for Metallic paint as a new dye'

    :3

    Though... it might be tricky... I don't really want to see metallic houses, or cotton etc.
    Honestly the easiest way would be to just correct the shaders on Metals ... Because really the only thing you don't paint with metallic enamel is Cars ... Even my nail polish is metalic XD

    I'm in favor of this. Realism doesn't sit well with me as a reason.. So let's make sure this stays bumped.

    Well, maybe you should...read the text.

    The devs thought dyes should remove sheen because it's more realistic.
    Many of us are just wondering why, of all the things to center on realism, would you choose something like that?
    When people dye things, they just want to change the color. They don't want to change the quality of the material. In real life, that's a downside of using cheap or inappropriate dyes/paints. Why bring that here?

    Greetings,

    After looking over the requests and feedback, the graphics team has decided that when adding metallic equipment in the future, even if dyes are used, the metallic quality will be maintained and not appear to be painted over. They also mentioned that they will be looking into doing this for existing equipment as well, but they would like to prioritize new equipment.

    Thank you, so much. I'm glad they were willing to take into consideration our feedback.
