Guild Wars 2

Except for the fact that it can not be dyed, this would be the PERFECT back piece for my sylvari but because of it’s color scheme it does not match my sylvari (or any other sylvari I have seen) at all.

Please, allow us not only to dye this one, but all back pieces with an appearance.

Agreed. Everything should be able to be dyed. Back pieces, weapons… But back pieces would probably be an easier start.

Yeah the green bit is a weird green color. Even with my all green/grassy colored armor it would still never match for the way the tier 3 dyes.

The flower I kind of like being white. But more options to dye is always a good thing. More variety among people then and would be nice to see what people come up with.

I doubt weapons will ever be dyeable, because look at the human cultural weapons, then look at the CM weapons. They’re the same except for their “dye”.

That said, back pieces definitely do need to be dyeable. I almost bought Rox’s quiver, but decided against it because it’s got ugly “dye”.

If back items hypothetically become dyeable before the quiver disappears from the gem store, I’ll buy it. Take my gems, ANet!

And of course, I need to make my Fervid Censor be blue.

I dont think that will happen though it would be sweet. You have items lime the pink quaggan that would just become pointless.

I just got this back piece last tonight for my activities in Southsun. It is really lovely…I was able to transmute it onto the exotic piece I was using to change the look. I now have a lovely flower on my back.

Agreed. Beautiful piece on a Sylvari. Thanks for the love.

And also agree, all back pieces should be dyeable! This would be a welcome change.

The Fervid Censer is beautiful, no doubt. Can’t wait to see someone do a Doctor Octopus outfit with the karka one.

I do wish the dye system could extend to backpieces and weapons. That’d be amazing.

It looks nice with Kudzu legendary bow.

Weapons won’t ever be dyable.

Human tier 3 cultural and Caudecus’ Manor are same skin, different dye (silver vs. gold). Sorrow’s Embrace and Asuran tier 1 are same skin, different dye (red vs. blue). Crucible of Eternity and Mystic are same skin, different dye (red vs. blue).

But I agree – backpacks and, equally importantly, aqua breathers should be dyable!

This needs more attention D;

Agreed, I love it! I’m gonna use it on my sylvari guardian. I wish I could dye it a light blue, since that’s the color scheme I had planned out for my guardian, (hadn’t gone for it yet.) but I like the flower enough I’m probably gonna do white and gold to match instead. Shame, since I love the exclusive blue color I was gonna use in my guardian’s hair, but it would look kind of bad with the flower as it is. I think that we really should be able to dye back pieces.

I think every back piece should be dyable…
but my annoyance is how it clips so badly with t3 light and medium shoulders (i also have a pic of one of my necros; but only one attatchment per post it seems "/)

i remember so many weapons in GW1 would look 1000% better being dyed black/white
… and i see a lot of GW1 skins in GW2 … looking WAY WORSE than in GW1 (because they cant be dyed …but not only because of that:for example jormags breath – ice dragon sword… i like the GW1 version a lot better^^ ..in GW2 its looks really ugly to me :/)

Just by virtue of how it looks I really didn’t any other option than to give it to my sylvari ranger. It may not match him but I was at least able to find some dyes for my armor that match or at the very least compliment/contrast it quite nicely. Can’t add a pic atm but I’ll prob post one up soon. Only real issue I have with the piece is wishing it rested on the left and not the right so there wouldn’t be as much clipping with my gs/sb. Now if only I could get over my general disdain for any sylvari cultural armor or their exclusive t3 weps :/

ah ty; dont see why it needs to be that work-around ish though

If I could dye my flower it’d be an amazing back piece for my Sylvari.

A prettyful pink flower would make my Sylvari a very happy man. <3

I agree with dyable back pieces (and airbreathers as also mentioned). They’re pretty much armor, especially the breathers which literally take the place of your helmet underwater, so dying them would be a natural progression. Maybe certain ones could be undyable if the color is particularly important to the item (the Mad King books might fall into this category, since they’re the same model just with different colors and one having a flame effect) but I think for the most part they ought to be dyable.

I don’t think its nessicary for weapons, personally, though. Dying weapons just seems kind of odd to me, seeing people running around with pink swords and lime green spears would just be… wierd. That, and as someone else already mentioned, the fact that some weapons are just recolors of other weapons, so they’d have to make new models for those weapons or something (not that it would be a bad thing to do so, having recolor weapons is pretty lame).

Well I’m back with a pic. The clipping really isn’t so bad with the gs (if it’s noticeable at all with VotM) but my god does my Wintersbark sb look ugly clipping through that thing. Really don’t know why they didn’t orient it off the other shoulder to limit this somewhat.

I completely agree with you. If it weren’t for my experience with this type of form posting configuration I would probably be in the same boat as you and many others regarding multiple image attachments.

back pieces definitely need to have dye options. i’d love to dye my quiver and the fervid censor, but alas, we can’t, because ANet didn’t think back pieces would be such a demanding thing. and considering they sell recolors of the same back pieces, i wonder if they’ll ever do it.

but regardless, i gave up on giving the back piece in question to my main sylvari because the clipping kinda annoyed me.

Dyeable back pieces would be great! In the meantime, since I can’t dye the back item, I dyed the rest of my outfit to really bring out the flower! Besides, life is better in red!

Is that on a male sylvari? Tier 3 light shoulders doesn’t clip near as bad on female sylvari. Actually it barely clips at all.

Thats a shame. Clipping ruins everything.

If dying is too much (we’d get hundreds of different ones) then the very least they could do is have an optional reward where you can pick from 3 different colours or so

Aside from not being able to dye them, these two backpieces are creative. Thanks for adding them to the game for us.

I would love to be able to dye backpacks and weapons, and the air breathing apparatus.

Should allow transmutation along with this. I really don’t want the apothecary stats, although I have it on my human Ele just because it’s so nice :x

Yeah I think this is probably their best bet. Let us maybe change the colors in Mystic Forge with dyes or offer different colored options.

I know some backpacks are supposed to be distinct in color. Like the charr and quaggan backpacks. Maybe just don’t allow stuff like that to be dyed. /shrug

More options is always better ANEt.

We already have items that can not be dyed (some head pieces) so i don’t see why they couldn’t do the same with some of the backpacks.

I’m actually wearing my Fervid Censor on my Engi because the exotic one clips so badly with my shield. The tentacles go right thru it when it’s drawn.

It’s good only for transmutation, because “someone” forgot to include a normal upgrade slot on it.

My sylvari engineer.No need for flowers, get tentacles instead.

??? I don’t understand what you mean. My transmuted my flower to be an ascended beserker flower!

Of course you can’t transmute the tentacle because then you lose the ability to upgrade it via the mystic forge but you know, if you don’t like the stats, upgrading them to be better with the same stats is meh. So might as well transmute!

I want to thank ANet for such a lovely back-piece, it really fits my Sylvari perfectly! Plus love the animation on the flower!

The lack of red attenion saddens me
