Guild Wars 2

I would like to suggest the addition of a line of mottled or stained dyes. Instead of uniform solid colors a mottled dye might resemble camouflage patterns, while stained would just be the equivalent of dirty and stained versions of the base armor material.

So blue mottled might look like either a blue camouflage pattern while stained blue dye might look like blue armor material with dirt stains.

What? You want to buy a tin of striped paint? Are you mad????

Suggest you go down to the tool store and ask them for a Long Wait. ;p

I do like this suggestion very much. The ways to achieve a more worn look in-game are pretty limited, as it stands. I’d love to see patterned/textured dyes, perhaps in the exotic tier. I thought it would be a good way to help increase cooking to 500, back when we had the horizontal CDI. I also think that participating in epic fights should occasionally unlock a “scar” cosmetic item, like the wanderer’s helm, but in more of a makeover kit “pattern” section, or some such. But that’s a pipe dream, I realize.

I wonder if dyes that are actually patterns of multiple dyes are technically possible (with reasonable effort) in GW2. If it is possible, I’d also like to propose glowing and particle/aura emitting dyes. Though my guess is that this would require an overhaul of the dye system.
