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

    In no way shape or form is this an important game breaking issue but I just gotta ask.

    How come are the none-dated plate belts in game are in just 1 color?

    Dated belts came in as many colors as their sets came in.

    Dated Belts.





    New Belts.





    So what happened?


    It just feels wrong to be wearing a blue set of cobalt armor with a grey belt.

    SE seems to be afraid of color. I guess that's why everything looks sort of "whitewashed". XI was just horrible with it. I hope in the future they give up on blending the game into a beige/grey soup, and throw some color in. hmm that may be why i love primal fights oO so much color, it feels alive for a little bit.

    also, let us dye AF gear pls

    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.

    I'll pretty much be more than satisfied with "it's coming in 2.0" response if a rep sees this.


    Also give us a white one to match the militia set.

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