Dye Improvements
…and while you’re at it,
4. Make right click select the dye clicked instead of adding it to favorites. Add to favorites with double right click.
Searching by hue in the Trading Post would be awesome. Makes more sense because they are colors, I might not know the name, but I know how it looks.
@vonBoomslang.8296: Left click for selecting the dye makes more sense (what would be left for it instead?), and I’ve never seen an UI using double right click at all, UX (user experience) would drop. Maybe right click should open a menu with the “Add/Remove from Favourites” options instead, if you want to diminish surprises for new users…
Say I design an awesome red/black color combo for my current armor, but I also have a red blue combo I like? I’d like to be able to save both to that one set of armor and toggle between them please!!
I don’t know about other players, but I spend literally hours picking out just the right dye combinations, and I’d like not to have to take a screen-shot every time just to remember what I picked!

Can you add additional sets or let us make extra sets?
There are sets dyes that I think should be grouped together, like “breeze”, hint, tint, shade, pastels, primary (plain red/green/blue/etc), and food/nature (lemon, wheat, grape, olive, etc). There are even sets of one single color – olive silk, antique olive, olive hint, midnight olive, etc. If we can search, it would help most of this though.
Yep! Dye sets! Already been suggested, but I am running home to play the game, so I am not going to search for the link…

Dyes should be account bound not player bound. I have one of each class. One of my toons seems to get every shade of pink dye to drop, another one seems to get every sort of purple shade to drop, another seems to never get dyes to drop, and another one got Black Dye to drop as soon as I killed something after the creation event.

let the player use all dyes right off the start to sample which ones they want. i bought an ash dye for 18 silver and regret it i thought it would look much better.
and if they use ones they havent unlocked then no change to the colors should be made on those areas. by all means make displayed dyes unlocked/locked toggleable but let me see what im buying on my character before i buy it so i dont have buyers remorse.
Wintersday is for the Charr, also Meatober.
1. Could we have an option to sort alphabetically? I remember a lot of the dyes by name, and it makes it harder to find them this way.
2. If one is not possible, could we have a simple search box instead?
3. Can you increase the size of favorites? Currently it’s capped at 8, which makes no sense seeing there is 100+ dyes.
per my understanding it is more like 400+

350ish was the last count I’m aware of. I’m personally not certain the human eye/brain can make a meaningful distinction between that many colors.
I know that there is way over 100 dyes, but I just listed 100+ because it doesn’t matter if there are 100 or 1000 dyes, either way those are big numbers. Then the exact amount doesn’t matter anymore.
I had a random brainstorm come into my mind today too: I know that we will never have account wide dyes (so I’m not gonna beat a dead horse), BUT I thought of some alternate functionalities that would make them act like character AND account wide at the same time.
Let us transfer dyes to alternate characters, but with restrictions. Some ideas for restrictions:
- pay gold/gems to move it to another character
- time limit (like 1 transfer per a day or once transfered must stay on an account for X amount of time)
- equivalent levels (level 80 character can transfer to any level, but lower levels can only transfer to similar levels)
- the ability randomly dropped as an item in PvE (or from PvP reward chest)
By letting us transfer dyes to other charaters, it’s like we have unlocked them – since we can use it on any other character. But since it’s not instantly available, it’s still character bound. In order to prevent somebody from “daisy chaining” their dyes – dye character 1 with expensive dye, pass to character 2, dye that one, pass to character 3, dye again – maybe the game should remove itself from the current armor when passed.

There are, to my knowledge, 382 unlockable dyes (403 if you include the starter dyes).
I would love to be able to group my dyes into private palettes, so i can dye my clothes in a certain scheme without having to dye each piece again.
I’d also love a checklist for dyes; right now, i’ve had to print out a checklist I made (check it out on Reddit) and use good ol’ fashioned pen-and-paper; it’s pretty repetitive after a while.
