[DEV] So... whats up with plate belts?

[KiriA500]

They're not afraid of color, they take a less "Hi, I'm a Unicorn and I'm going to puke rainbows all over your world" like a lot of other MMOs tend to go toward. XI was "whitewashed" in world design structurally because it was based around 'Cermet" material the Zilarts largely used.

That doesn't change the fact that it makes no sense why the cobalt plate belt can't be dyed. It's made of the same materials as the armor you CAN dye.

It does make sense since they already explained that on the current engine due to the way it handles the material and data some things will and will not be able to be dyed.

That's why they originally went with different color = different stat that people bitched about.

Not to mention they've already said that in 2.0 they're looking at using a different means of differentiating dyed items which would allow them to ideally put upwards of 28 colors in the game for just about everything, if I'm not mistaken that is.

Any word on if the new dye system is still coming in 2.0?
