Guild Wars 2

Hey so i was just running around on Guildwars and for years I’ve been thinking would it be cool if we had ‘glowing’ dye effects? Imagine like.. slow moving Van Gogh animated swirls on armour would be pretty epic. perhaps a set of moving dyes can be labelled as Legendary?

interested to find out what everyone things of my idea :P! people probably thought of it before but I just thought it’ll be cool

That would be something cool for Chef 500 to make.

plenty of aura availble atm can do the same, if its a legendary dye u wont be able to get it anyway unless u can afford 10k gold to buy one.

The frustrating thing is with aura armour (which is the only thing atm) is that you cannot control the colour and its a bit in your face. also for example if you had radiant shoulders/gloves its difficult to find matching armour unless you have the full armour radiant set. what I’m suggesting is… playing about with colour giving dying a bit more character and giving yourself eye candy xD.

also the gem store chaos gloves (which you can dye any colour) has nothing that can match or suit it. with my idea of having glowing dye it’ll solve that problem!

also I don’t believe realistically they would set the price for 10k gold :P it would be average legendary cost, probably be just under 1k or a little over 1.5k

Here’s a picture of my character xD as you can see I’m wearing chaos gloves and you see where the light electric blue dye is? id like to make that glow (not too much) but just enough to give a cool subtle effect.

small selection of different glowing types i’d like to see:

Imagine the textures of the Twillight legendary or bifrost as a dye? pretty neat huh

It is not possible to implement with the current dye system.
It simply allows one color per channel by the RGB system (256³ possible dyes)

(not a game developer so I might sound a little dumb xD) cant they just use the same system in which they made chaos weapons and radiant armour? but just apply them as dyes? idk correct me if I sound illogical.

I have seen several players running around with glowing armour that even made their characters glow. I’m not sure if this is just a graphics issue.
