[dev1207] Recipes for Gear Dyeing

where's my black cobalt sets?
nice change btw.

[HoolieWho]

I understand why they don't want to allow any color for any armor, but please, splurge a little and allow cobalt armor in a couple more colors. Please!

And because I couldn't remember what had been said about dyeing HQ and materia-melded gear:

Ok, no new colors we get it.
But is it too hard to make the Cobalt Plate Belt dyeable?? Geez it seems like they enjoy doing something without any sense every now and then just for the sake of it.

Also, the overall system seems really confusing, basically we are gonna have base gear + dyes + HQ + different upgrades+ HQ + dyes + materia...


@_@

I honestly don't understand why they added different upgrades to begin with, since that's basically what the materia system already does, I just find it really unnecessary and confusing for new players. It could be understendable when they wanted to link different colors to different version of the same gear, but since that idea got scrapped they could also get rid of the upgrades.

What's up with the Cobalt Plate Belt not being able to be BLUE or RED? I feel so tacky not being able to match perfectly. I was hoping that it would be fixed by the 1.20 patch.

Also...still gotta match a blue Raptorskin Harness with a black Raptorskin subligar...

Other than that, I'm happy with the changes.

Edit: Actually I was mistaken. It's actually funnier this way though. Raptorskin subligar only comes in black, but Raptorskin Harness can now be Red or White in addition to Blue. So new colors, but still no black to match its respective leg piece.

this is rather... underwhelming to say the least.

I was under the impressions that the new dye system would allow for more liberal use of existing dyes than this.

[Kaizersan]

Actually I thought he said you could dye all armors any color that that were dyes in the game since they were removing the color code from the armor and making it's own deal.

Cobalt plated belt >>>>> STILL NO COLORS

Green Cobalt Vambraces >>>>>> No other cobalt is green.

According to the list:

ARM only gets 8 new synths, just blue and green pieces.
Weaver gets 80+ new ones.

Very half-assed.

Thanks SE for the colored etc recipes. Now please followup with the recipe revamps for GSM, CUL and ALC.

Come on guys, Yoshi-P already stated they need to rework the item colouring entirely to allow any piece of gear to have all colours. This will be done for 2.0 (or earlier?), right now is a temporary change to allow us to have some colour variety. Stop crying on the colours missing and enjoy what we have for until the new colouring system is completed.

I, too, would really enjoy to pick any colour for any piece of gear, but this is temporary, no sweat be patient.
