Guild Wars 2

I’ll pass along the suggestion about rainbow dye. I don’t know if it would work, given the way dye is added to armor and items, but the art team would know about functionality and they can determine if it’s something that we would want to add to the game.

…I’d like all of us to just stop and think about the wonder and beauty of rainbows — because, really, who doesn’t marvel at a rainbow?

So what does everyone think of the idea of rainbow dyes?

Rainbow dyes, dyes that glow, maybe even dyes that have a day/night cycle?

Rainbow. Gradient. Nightglow (dyes that have a glow only at night, similiar to sylvari). Tye Dye. Crystalline (dyes with a slight transparency effect, creates the illusion of crystal or glass).

I will throw this thread in for reference. I’d request a merge, but your thread title is more appropriate

Bad idea. You already have to mix and match dyes to try to approximate the same colour over different materials, or even the same material over different armour sets. Dye that does not match itself when applied to two different pieces of armour you’re wearing together doesn’t sound very “legendary”.

More dyes with gradients would be great though, to help match the ones that are already available. Also it goes without saying that non-gemshop methods of acquisition would be nice.

Isn’t there at least one other thread floating around about legendary dyes? Now if only the search function would work…

Legendary dyes would at least make a level 500 chef plausible. What else do you need that for?
I’m on the verge of saying “make them account-bound”, too, but then, legendary weapons are not. Mhm…

I Imagine something along the lines of Sunrise/Twilight dyes, or a “galaxy” dye, like the one below. Now that would be pretty cool.
“What’s that dye on your armour?” – “Oh, just the NGC 2440 nebula.”
The glow and glassy ones sound amazing, too.
And now I’m gonna go sulk in a corner because I probably won’t be able to afford even one of those, should they ever come, let alone all the ones I want…

I think part of the issue is people imagining an actual rainbow. Personally I envision something more like the glows on things like Moot and other effects, which are shiny/silvery with a rainbow tint to them.

If you look at the screenshot attached, ignore everything but the top left corner where there is a rainbow effect in Glints Lair. Something like that or more subtle

I tell you what, should a galaxy dye ever be made (which is a very cool idea), I will help make you one (presuming you are on an EU server)

I’m in favor of spiffy dyes. On a simpler note, I feel they should change the rarity of black lion dyes from “rare” to exotic – for trade form sorting purposes.

Sorting by price pretty much filters all black lion dyes to the top, with the except of a few normal dyes.

I’ve always wanted legendary particle effect/sparkle/glow/animated etc. dyes

I hope Anet make it possible one day

Same. I don’t know why they were put in the same category as the rare dyes when they are clearly different than all the rest. I would support this. AND it would make way (and make sense) for future legendary dyes or even ascended dyes – though ascended dyes sound weird. Legendary sounds better :-P

Edit: would love to also have a dye that has a shimmering sort of celestial/galaxy/space effect. Similar or even identical to the celestial weapons from Guild Wars 1:

Aw, that’s sweet

I love the ideas about a galaxy dye!

It makes me wonder… What if… A dye with a skybox similar to Twilight?

I’d like dyes that have mineral patterns (malachite, lapis lazuli, etc.) in them.
Wouldn’t pay legendary prices for them (Won’t even buy Shadow Abyss at its current cost), but I’d like to have them.

A mirror dye would be pretty cool too

What it sounds like is players would like more textured dyes
