Guild Wars 2

I don’t frequent the forums often, so forgiveness if this is constantly asked for/suggested, which it probably is.

Weapon dye channels. Guild Wars 1 had them, it was great. Whether there are implementation issues with Guild Wars 2, or its just not on the agenda, it should be.

Lets use the ’Dragon’s Jade’ weapons as an example: as much as I love murky green snakes…Yeah, no. Obviously the -green- is an attribute of ‘Jade’, where the jade portion of the weapons should remain un-dyed, but we should be able to dye the rest of the weapon. Neutral coloured weapons (i.e. Fellblade, basic skins) go perfectly with pretty much anything. Love the Dragon’s Jade staff/shield… but they clash with pretty much every dye combo that isn’t green/gold and look horrid due to the stark contrast. Considering one of the biggest drivers in this game is skins/legendaries, some further customization and attention to overall aesthetic would be peachy.

Also, given the vast number of weapons any given class has access to and uses variable to any given situation or activity, aesthetic/dye synergy across weapons and armor is desirable. I’m sure a large portion of the player base feels similarly, whilst many probably don’t care either.

Otherwise, thank you for a solid gaming experience.

P.s. Need a few more of those awesome GW1 skins across. cough Draconic Aegis, Emerald Blade. etc.

P.s.s. Any chance of fixing Anura (Frog Scepter) and Al’ir’aska (Voltaic Spear) and restoring their particle effects from GW1?! They look so -blergh- now.

I totally agree with this. There are so many cool-looking weapons in which I’m simply not interested because they have a color that doesn’t match any of my character’s color schemes.

Legendaries and other particular weapons are ok to be not dye-able, but the vast majority of them should be. I really enjoyed the new dyeing system, but without the possibility to dye the weapons it seems incomplete!

+1 on dye weapons and backpacks.
Even if its a crafting methood. (Crafting table or M.Forge: Put your weapon, a basic color dye [Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, + some variation], a crystal fragment or something, and a fourth component if needed (maybe a sigil)

And the existing armors should have more dye areas. 2 isn’t enough, I prefer 4 on everything (except the very simple ones of corse)
