Guild Wars 2

With a character or two, it isn’t such a big deal, but once you have more than 2 characters, I find its really cumbersome to try and guess which of my characters has what dye. Furthermore, putting the dye into my bank and logging in with each character just to find out they have them already is really annoying (and time consuming).

I would think it would be a simple enough addition to make it so the item description hover box could display which of your characters has a given dye.

I’ve attached a really simple and badly photoshopped graphic of what I think it could look like.

Thanks!

Would certainly be nice for convenience sake.

However, given that there are no limits on character slots (or very high limits at the very least, I’ve seen people say they have 20+ characters) it would get very cluttered pretty fast for some.

Instead they should just makes dyes an account-wide thing…. but I doubt they’d do this….

While I don’t disagree, people have been griping about account-based dyes nearly since day one. If after 7 months its still not there, I doubt they’re going to implement it.

People have time to play 20+ characters?!?!?!

I have over 25 characters. I play them as the mood hits me.
2 are level 80

But back on topic….. I would rather they do as they said before the game launched that the dye system would be account based not character based. Then we wouldn’t have to worry about which one has or doesn’t have which dye

The problem I see at this point is they’re stuck in a kitten if they do situation. To make dyes account bound would cause an outcry from the people who’ve dropped gold (or cash) for Midnight dyes for all their characters…

The solution would be to maybe make all but the rarest colors account based? The dyes are separated by tiers, so it shouldn’t be too hard (or cause too much of a ruckus) if all but the rarest or even two rarest tiers are account based.

Hell they could even create some sort of item to sell in the gem store and/or have as drops that lets the player choose a color to “infuse” into their account and make it account-wide. They could even make it similar to the transmutation stones. You could buy them or win them for doing certain things in game, but to “infuse” the higher tier colors a player would have to buy the specialty item from the gem store.
