Guild Wars 2

^ Same happened to my Sylvari – my orange eyes have turned to red, which is same as my glow color. I had bought a make over kit earlier to get those orange eyes so it would be nice to get them back

I also noticed that each dye to put in one panel has a effect on the dyes in the other two panels also to get a yellow glow on my armor for my syvari i had to mix Midnight ice pine and lemon dye on my gears the end result was fabulous after a few hardcore hours of dye buying and tinkering you also cant use the same dye pattern in the exact same panels for each piece of gear you will not get the same result like the pieces before it. also for males t3 light legs glow the glow varies depending on the glow in the main dye panel witch for me is pine green dye. The t3 light legs glow is very hard to get right sorta cause the dye from the main panel mixes in with the dye from side panel the side panel dye is more prominent on the 4 leaves and when it glows the dye from the side panel will glow also. So if you have dark days like abyss for side pannle they will almost always glow white. Here are a few screen to show how i mixed and matched dyes just to show you the glow of t3 legs

Kristen Perry.5260:

So. What this means for you is, to add your glow, I reworked the dye channels to give you the largest choice and control possible over the glow. The areas that glow are now selectable for you. Some of the textures are also better balanced to give you more consistent results… you won’t have to guess what color you need to find to make the red feel red, for example. It will just work.

Tier 2 medium, female, here. The glow is a sickly grey colour on all pieces, despite blacks and reds being used for both skin and armour colours. Loving the change, apart from the horrible new ‘third’ dye slot’s position on the legs; but I really hope this glow can become a bit better. Since the set only has three dye slots as of now, how about adding a fourth slot purely for the glow? How’s that for control?

All right, so I noticed in the character select screen they were more of a blue, perhaps it’s mixing my pink glow with the green eyes. In the cave it looked rather sinister dark.

(Edit: Added an older picture to compare.)

2nd edit: the eye thing is in the tracker, I did not see this earlier:

I don’t understand why you have tier 3 medium sylvari armor for males/females underlined. They DO glow!!!! They have glowed since the game released. They glow the most in my opinion than the other cultural armors!!!

Thank you Kristen, I only have one character and this was a game breaker for me, especially after spending so much on the new dyes. I could have sworn that the armour glow was linked to the skin glow because I used a makeover kit to reduce it on the T2 light. Anyway, cheers.

The same way we can turn off glow on our Sylvari can we turn it off on the T3 Sylvari light armor please? I liked that T3 armor because it had no glow to begin with.

Thank you Kristen , for such a fast update on the armour glow status! Really looking up for the changes you working on, they seem great if they work as mentioned.
Keep up the good work and may our sylvaris shine as bright as the pale tree once again (or stay in the depths of nightmare if they which so hehehh)

By the way I am SO STOKED about having glowy armour now, I’ve always felt it’s a shame for it not to glow, and now my dude looks super stellar in his armour! Makes our cultural armour far more unique than the other races (or should I say even more unique).

Thank you Kristen for the information! Good luck on working on it!

I’m especially happy that using a dark dye will (partially) remove the glowing effect. Because right now black/dark parts of the armor would glow up a bit white at night which made them very washed out and dull looking because the result would be some grey ish color. If they were to stay dark if dyed dark that would totally solve my problem!

Thank you for the update! This should make everyone happy – the people who want more glow and the people who want less glow. I do think everyone loves the textures so getting them back (as best as you can) will be lovely I can’t wait for these to come into effect. Now I know I need at least 1 heavy armor Sylvari and I should go for more Sylvari cultural armor on my Mesmer
I know you mentioned that you were going to look at T2 Light for a bit of a rework – I would love for the veins of the leaves to glow, if possible. I think that would be a really neat effect. I love how the T2 Light set shows of character pattern and glow, so I will have the challenge of matching character glow to armor glow

I do have two Sylvari. My male is wearing a medium T2 and my female got a medium T1. The medium T1 basically did not change. I really do like changes which were made to the dye patterns of the medium T2.

There are some issues I have with the T2 though:

• The already described white glow. But I guess Kristen is already working on that one. Thanks!
• The shoulders are way darker than the rest of the armor. Therefore, I do not use them. I can’t get the colour to match the rest of my armor.
• The chest piece has a very weird greyish area on the back where the leaves are connected although my Sylvari and his armor are dark purple. Is this on purpose? It does not change no matter what I dye it but it also does not really match my skin tone.

Btw… glowing shows in armor previews now. That’s new, right? Thanks for that!

Maybe not so very constructive but I just had to say this:

Kirsten & team I really appreciate that you are working on the Sylvari and keep improving them and letting us know where the development is.

Mixing T2 and T3 light on female doesn’t really work as well as it used to because the glow is so vastly different (i.e., T2 pants glow on the flower while T3 chest pretty much glows all over the place on the front). I’ve liked the T2 glow for a while now and it sounds like the T3 glow might be more like that in the future (which would be nice).

I could really use some help on How/what to dye to make armor glow?. Im STILL not sure if male T3 light armor glows as i can’t make it glow, despite the OP saying it can’t glow it looks like by some of the later SS that it dose.

Or did i just spend 80 gold and scrap my awesome angle of death T2 mix for non glowy armor that now dose not dye properly?

(EDIT)
Dose not glow, despite some misleading pics.Still a cool set of armor but i couldn’t get a good match of dye with the front pants leaves.

With all these changes I’m going to try to get the OP up to date with all the changes, please stick with me while I work on this.

Thank you stjf for working on this!

if kristen can reply, it’d be great, if not, oh well but when do you think further changes will be made to the cultural armor sets (sylvari)? extra tiers with glow/better glow is what you are working on right?

I clearly remember that I could color a 3rd part of T3 medium shoulders. I’m playing a female thief, and there is a part of the mentioned shoulder armor (which is a long, narrow leaf hugging softly around both shoulders) the pointy yet kind of ball shaped end of the leaf that goes into her decolletage on the front side had a dye slot and did glow together with the rest of the T3 armour.

Currently this dye slot is missing and the color of that part is defined by the skin color of the sylvari wearing it. I really don’t like this change, I usually dye my armors with a dark outer part and a close to white but still recognizeable green for the inner parts. I loved that little part of the armour, going straight to her heart being a light, glowing thing that soooo perfectly worked together with the T3 chest armors glowing stripes. It was like a seemless transition from chest to shoulder armor and now it’s gone, and all we have left is a dead, not glowing, almost “otiose” thing that looks so weird going under her skin.

Can we please have back the 3rd dye slot for T3 shoulders? I’d also like to get back the original T3 chest armor glowing colors. It used to be like this:
http://i.imgur.com/lcvaFX8.jpg . A mix of yellow and grey. I did not changed my character with total makeover kit, but after the second update of sylvari armors that again made the glowing front part’s color defined by skin color, it’s a flat green instead of this seemless transition from green to greenish-yellow. It felt soooo much more natural and living.

I would love for the t2 light armour to glow. I wanna be a tree-pixie!

I’ve had my my TA medium coat for ages now, but I always feel like it’s not as “living” as it should be. By design, I like it much more than any of the cultural coat medium coats, and I know it works differently on sylvari than it does on other races – there’s an area where the skin tone bleeds on the coat (which I personally love). So, if glow would be added to that armor for sylvari, that would be absolutely lovely.

TA armour does glow. I’ll edit in some screenies later.

Edit: i’m wrong ^^ only the light armour has any appreciable glow, which seems absurd.

Any clarity on if male TA light armor glows?
