Guild Wars 2

One thing that kinda annoys me with the armor and dyes is that if you have more than one armor set you can’t have them set as two different colour schemes. Like if you have a Berserker set and you want it t be a red theme for example and you also happen to have a Cleric set but you want that set to be blue you can’t. It really sucks how once you dye one set its character based rather than armor based. I have a Guardian with both a Durmand Priory armor set and a Vigil armor set and I would like them to have different colour schemes but I cant. I have the colour for the Vigil perfect but as soon as I equip the Durmand Priory armor it just looks horrible colour scheme as the colour isn’t in the right parts of the armor etc. Could we one day have the dye changed from character based to individual armor based? That way you could if you wanted to have two helmets of the same but both different colours. Kinda like we could in Guild Wars.

One another note another thing that annoyed me with the last feather patch is do do with the wardrobe is that you spend almost 9 gold to unlock Order armor just for the skins then the armor only being rare is no longer any use to you, it would be nice if we could salvage it at least or have it purchasable as skins not armor at a cheaper price or something.

Are you sure? because it seems armor based for me. I’ve included 2 pictures, they are simply swapping armor not touching the dyes at all.

You’re definitely doing something wrong, I have two armor sets for all eight of my characters and I have absolutely no problems applying different color schemes to their armors.

I just tested and they’re right. I switched to a spare armor set, dyed it very different colours to my normal one (one set purple, one set green) and then when I switched between the two the colours switched automatically.

However I’m certain it didn’t always work this way and I have no idea when it was changed. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t mention it in patch notes because for some people this is a very useful option.

It’s been like that since the April 15th patch, the only exception would be Outfits, which lose their dyes whenever you unequip/swap them.

Hmm that’s odd it doesn’t do that for me. I’ll try and removed all the dye from one armor set and see if that makes a difference. It might just need to update the cache or something as any new armor it uses the same colours as the previous armor.

That’s odd, it works perfectly fine for me. My 2 main characters have about 4 bank tabs of armour sets combined (and mostly the same stat combos too, haha yes I’m vain), and the dyes have been saved to the armour since when I started playing, at launch.

Yep, they’re bound to the armour. I’ve got 3 sets on my warrior and they’ve all got the colours I set on them

I have an all gold armor set for PvP and my normal green/blue for PvE. I swap between them all the time without having to reset colors.

It’s working now, I did a client repair and it seems to have fixed it. Thanks
