Guild Wars 2

I’m more specifically talking about the moth wing back piece but this applies to alot of back pieces.

I think some of the back armours should be dyable. After looking how cool some of the colour layouts for the moth glider can be, I believe you should be able to dye some of the back pieces aswell. I would love to use the moth one, but the red layout doesn’t look good on most of my toons.

From an Anet Dev regarding being able to dye back pieces. Note this post was from before they had their account marked as a dev.

Tidgepot.3285:

It’s extremely hard to alter the engine so backpacks are dyeable. As far as the engine is considered, backpacks are considered items (like weapons) and gliders are considered effects. The engine needs to be fundamentally altered from the ground up to allow for item dye channels. It’s not impossible, but not easy. To add to this, the Shining Blade glider was designed on its own and after it was modeled one of the artists saw that it could be turned into a backpack for the players to enjoy. I think lazy is an inappropriate term for this situation when someone went the extra mile. However, I do understand your frustration with not knowing it couldn’t be dyed. That should be more clear.
