Guild Wars 2

I recently finished the luminescence collection. I do like it, but it feels limiting to me that I can only have it on the carapace armor. I’m not a huge fan of the carapace armor as an overall set. Certain pieces are great, (heavy shoulders, light female chest),but I dont like the leggings so much in any of the catagories. Obviously though, if I use other leg skins I like better, they wont be luminescent, and such a fashion faux pas is unthinkable. Even worse, someone might dare to think I DIDN’T have the full set (gasp), and I just couldnt live with that.

So my idea was that if you finished the entire collection you could be awarded luminesce effect dye that could be applied to any armor piece. I’m sure people would want this. I look at the high price for the oozont’s neclace thing which gives you that luminescent look as well. I think it looks ridiculous because its so monochromatic, but the glowing effect is cool. How awsome would it be to have the ablitiy to selectivly apply the effect on whatever piece we wanted??

Answer: Very.

I not only would really like this but I’d like variations of the colors with the same effects.

The only problem is the glow effect of the set is literally the only reason to get it so major emphasis on this only being obtainable as a reward for completing the collection! It should not be tradeable.

I want this! This really needs to happen!!

take my money ! please add this

if they do, they can’t release more glowy armours in the future.
So, you know they won’t.

Ive always wanted Patterns for dyes. In games like Sims you could put things like Leopard Print or Diamond Plating in dye fields. I always thought those seemed like worthier gemstore dyes over slightly saturated versions of dyes we already have.

As I said in those threads, they would be excellent additions and give purpose to 500 chef

I have been wanting effect dyes since beta. I remember when they first talked about legendary weapons, I thought it would be cool to have legendary dyes that added special effects to your armour, like the liquid metal effect and things like footprints and weapon attack effects.

I would totally buy dye that made your armour glow. So long as you can be guaranteed to get the effect and colour you want, none of this random chance to get it crap.

Quartz Crystal Dye,,, gimme skimpies

Great idea!

I would instantly put this on my to-do list, if it was implemented.

Might I suggest they put it in the Gem Store for 2000 Gems…that seems about the right price for something that would completely alter your armor skins and require a huge amount of coding to include in the dye system…just think about how the affect would need to be coded into the dye system to work…recode the entire thing.

But what color would it be?

Luminescent is an effect tied to the armor, not a dye. They would probably have to add a whole new gen slot to armor…And I can’t see that as ending well.

Selling the “dye” for gems would be effectively the same as offering Luminescent armor for gems. Carapace is trivial to get, so with a luminescent dye you essentially have easy mode for luminescent, and that would cause riots….unless they just have it exclusively for people with the full luminescent collection achievement.

I understand you are trying to make a monetary incentive for anet to do this, but it would kitten off far more people than it would make happy if it was just a gem store item.

I would be opposed to this. Currently we have some glow effect armor such as achievement point armor, aura with legendary, and luminescent armor. Those things are hard to obtain for the most part. If you just add these effects to the gemstone then what is the point of the items that add these effects already?
