Guild Wars 2

That is a long standing issue, but the frustration is growing with having gear, weapons, back pieces, skins, and such…. having mismatched colors. Do you devs realize how difficult you make it to build a unified color and asthetically similar theme to our characters most of the time? It is problematic only being able to dye armor and this is something that should be addresses. Here, I’ll start with this example because I brought it up before…

Nightfury- bats grey scale.

Chiroptophobia greatsword skin- bats black and grey weapon.

Bat wings glider- brown colors and tones.

Whispers back pieces have a red, black and gold color scheme.

Whispers weapons have a gold and metal theme.

I have to build around those colors if I want some uniformity and that sucks.

Ghostly infusion aura whispy black and light blue.

Only thing that matches the aura are the dreamthistle weapons that have green shafts.

Cobalt greatsword and jormag’s breath sword are next closest matches with the light blue flames, but those are flames and that style only comes with those two weapons, nothing else.

You have corrupted weapons, but that is a frosty aura…

Ascolonian weapons are an ok, but only match up at night and the designs are kinda meh.

I could go on and on about stuff, but for a game that prides itself on aestecics, something needs to change. Either start coming out with complete color themed sets of weapons, back pieces, wings, auras… and/or make things dyeable. I’m sure the time investment would pay off because the market for all these items and dyes would boom if you took all your unique exotic, ascended and legendary weapons, all back pieces, black lion skins… and work on them so the could happen.

Do something guys and gals, this is 2015 and you have the tech and (wo)man power to do it.

I don’t seem to have an issue with this. I usually dye to match my weapon of choice, or choose a weapon skin to match some color theme I like.

But, that’s just me.

Good luck.

But then you are forced into that particular color theme.

I’m not forced into anything. I choose what I find aesthetically pleasing.

You, of course, can feel ‘forced’ or choose what pleases you. Everyone is different. /shrug

All those things should be dyeable.

The fire in the flame legion armor, flame-touched armor and the Balthazar’s outfit, most parts of all backs, weapon handles, masts and certain parts of the blades, backs, breathers…

What about items that are basically recolors like the black and white wings? Patterns. One would get a patter than makes the tips different color, another stripes. You want full white wings, you dye all channels the same color. You want the pattern, you use different colors.

Then you have items like the blade packs and the super skins. Those are supposed to have those colors. But that doesn’t mean other parts of the back must stay that way. Red stays red, you can dye the other metallic parts. So you can make a static pack white and red or black and red if you want, or a blue super sword with a white handle instead red, while the blade stays blue.

At first I was tempted to say, use what you like to fit the “theme”… Then I looked at my dyes and realized how many I bought just because I needed one that was a bit lighter or darker to go with a certain weapons colors. So over all yes, it would be super nice to be able to dye back packs glowy effects and weapons, but at this point I’m not really sure how practical it would be to implement.

Actually as far as the whole “mismatched” thing goes my biggest complaint is how some parts of armor don’t treat colors the same way. So I need 3 different yellows to get the same gold color on all my armor, that’s just silly.
