[dev1016] The New Dyeing Process

[Alcide]

Maybe I'm wrong, but from what Yoshi said I thought that the new dye system was something like an upgrade to the base item and the colored item has better stats for certain roles (as he mentioned the Cobalt Plate set and the Red Cobalt Plate set with better stats for tanking).
For exemple, I noticed that every tier of robe has two different colors, so I guess that one has better stats for healing and the other one for dps (or one is better for thau and the other for conj).

So, I think that there is a color restriction for gears and that also you won't chose a different color based on wich one you like, but based on stats, so actually you won't have any choice.

Honestly the new dye system seems easy and all, but to me it sounds like a huge step backwards in terms of customization, but I really hope to have misunderstood the whole thing.

I never heard of that, all ive heard was that certain tiers are allowed a certain amount of colors. Its to distinguish what level a player may be by seeing what color their gear is.

But then that's kind of negated by the example I posted above with their examples not having any kind of consistency and encompassing most of the colors we have.

I think that was mis-translated considering the Cobalt gear itself can be seen as a tanking piece. So was he saying the piece of gear was for tanking or that specifically the color red was for tanking? Also if that's true, why is the Steel version of that set listed in blue? Would you not want red for tanking purposes?

If the color system is working as an upgrade then the whole process of dyeing is something like another synth for the same piece with another chance of failure (you want better stats? you have to work and risk for that). To me it makes sense, especially after looking carefully at the new recipe list: every piece of gear that already lead to a particular role have only one color variation (plate set, hauby, tunic) while those that could be used with different roles have more variety (robes, shirts, crafting and gathering gears).

About the steel being blue... well I just don't know ^^' when I first read that thing I thought that every color would be linked to a specific role from R1 to 50 but clearely it's not the case, maybe that's because using always the same color would have been boring...
