Not sure how you actually go through the dyeing process though, remember seeing a youtube vid.

While back was explaining system that used the color dye's from current game in use.

For color X requires X amount for dye A and dye B - and stuff like that and also having special colors requiring rare dye color to make characters unique.

That doesn't look so bad. The gw2 dye. Wonder if dye is free in gw2. When you say freely change dye in your translation is that in aspect to price/mats not needed or to the fact anyone can dye items now?

I didn't say it, Bay did hopefully it does mean like what you're saying though, don't have to go through the mess of getting the dye, less inventory space to kill.

So many items if they add more colors too lol. Also with almost items becoming dyeable there would need to be large stock piles, we will see - hopefully, waiting for alpha/beta invite . . . Lol

The part I don't like is being able to freely change your gear color at will, it really just makes me even more detached from the game. Not by a lot but little things adds up.

I like how many colors they have, that's awesome, and how they have rare dyes as well, that's cool to, but don't over simplify everything, I mean I'm not 2 I can do a little extra work for the color I want on my gear, and If I wanna change colors, I shouldn't beable to change it on the fly, give it to a crafter with the dye you want and some materials soo he can replace the color you have on there already.

As for the final number of colors, and what they are, that's all still in-development, so we'll be sure to let you know when we have solid information to share!



Apologies for the delay!

For now, I guess I'll just make an assumption that we'll be limited to the number of dyes that currently exist, and hope that we're not limited to only the options that are currently available for a particular piece of gear.

Thanks for the reply though!

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if it's all NPC driven and you just choose the colors you want and pay x amount of gil. It'd be a decent gil sink.

It would be nice if certain dye colours or colour schemes were locked behind something like achievments or had to be obtained somehow.

I've just never been a fan of being handed everything I guess...

I think unlocking dyes through quests, achievements, and monster drops would be pretty cool.

I like the idea of rare dyes perhaps prismatic/radiating dyes for metal/other material gear. So long as it doesn't become so invasive that it removes you from immersion (neon pink or something).
