Guild Wars 2

So this little graphic issue has been bugging me for a long time. Every time I view my character from a far, there is an annoying red shade to my T3 heavy armour, and it clashes horribly with the rest of my colour scheme. Since I’ll be spending the majority of the time viewing my character from afar during combat, I’d like it to look like how I want it.

I’ve tried variations on the dye combination, and unless I go with fully dark colours or a red scheme, the effect is very noticeable and makes me grind my teeth. I don’t get why there is any hint of red on my armour if all of my dyes are blue in colour. I’ve attached screenshots of far/close views of both my front and back to show you what I mean.

Note that even though I’m on low GFX settings, it’s still evident when I turn it up to max.

EDIT: Even in the close ups, you can see dark red lines crossing through the armour around sharp joints. I’m guessing this is what’s causing the red glow when you zoom out.

Looks like the natural armor coloration peeking through the dye at a distance and when you go looking for it. I don’t see it as pronounced as you obviously do, so I’m not sure if that’s it. It could also be residual separation of the colors in the purple glow when you’re at a distance because of all the blue. The blue bleeds out of the purple and all you’re left seeing is the red, maybe.

Might be a result of your low graphics settings.
