Guild Wars 2

I think it would be really simple programming and really convenient to make it so that you could save multiple color/dye sets. Sometimes I have this one combination I really like and I want to explore other looks, but I’m afraid I’ll forget how I set up my current look after weeks of perfecting it. Is this something that is possible?

I have a armor set in my guild colors and then some others that I really enjoy. But having the ability to just have them saved into the interface and then jump between them would really make it nice for me and others I believe.

Initial fail here is to ever say “I think it would be really simple programming.” Nothing, no matter how simple, is ever really simple programming. It just isn’t.

That aside, it would be cool to be able to save a couple “looks” for a variety of things, colors included.

Creating a data structure that can store a list of colors and give them a name is easy. The time consuming part is adding it to the UI. One of the devs mentioned elsewhere that anything with words has about a 4 week turnaround time just for the localization.

But yes, this would be a great feature to add. If I ever get to the point where I feel like storing multiple sets of armor, I would love to be able to quickly track the dyes I used for each. What would be really cool on top of that would be something similar to the ability to ping builds in GW1 where I could just ping them my current dye scheme if they ask me what it is.

Keep in mind, If you have more then one set of armor you can set the colors and they will not change when switching to another set. I have two sets of armor and they have their own color schemes.

I did not realize that, probably because I’ve never switched between 2 armor sets. Still, organizing color sets account wide with some sort of code to send them between players and/or put on websites would be great.

I definitely want to see the ability to save dye sets! We are using different color sets in the guild when we do group splits in World vs World.

That’s one way it is useful to.

I would like to be able to save certain colour combinations and easily switch between them. I’ve been re-dying my armour so much and with all the dyes I have, it’s become some work to go back and forth between the designs. You can’t select enough “favourites” to support this, currently.
