Guild Wars 2

just wanna say theyre very nice imo, and also the aether pants >.>

Purple Glow Stick Elemental?

The Vincent dye is VERY sweet, I’ll agree.

Oh man, that’s perfect.

Do they glow or something? What makes them different then regular dyes?

They’re different shades.

I really like blacklight and cobolt.

Barney agrees.

I hate you, Azure. I now officially hate you. :P

Generally the high-end dyes have more contrast between the two colors that make up all dyes (many standard dyes the two colors are so close you can’t tell that there is a primary shade and a separate undertone).

On certain materials and armor pieces that contrast makes the details in the armor really ‘pop’.

Try them out in the Trading Post – you can preview colors from there and the a quick sort by price will shuffle them right to the first page or 2.

New dyes or new temporary availible dyes?

New dyes?? Never heared of :o

They’re new temporary dyes in the gemstore.

AH to bad, then I am not really interested. temporary this, temporary that. Game feels like a F2P game with this sort of micro transaction focus and marketing. Makes you wonder (to not say cheated) why you had to pay money for the initial box.

The dyes will be permanent once you learn them, but they’re only available temporarily. There’s tons of free stuff in the game, and it’s well worth the price of the box. I’m just not sure it’s worth the price of gems these days. It’d be one thing if I could buy the dyes directly with my gems, but we can only buy a chance at getting them.

EDIT: You can also buy them from the trading post. Dulfy’s website should have a list of the names and colors.

I know they are then only available temporary. Thats what I do not like. It’s all based on selling more gems. F2P games also always have a base of items and then many of the new stuff they add is purely based on micro-transaction. Like we see in GW2. Anyway, thats another subject and I will make a specific topic about that. For here I just had the question if it where really new added colors or once again temporary ones.

At least it isn’t like SWTOR’s free to play mode. Oh my.

$60 for over a year of game play, and you’re complaining about dyes? You can still buy all of them with gold.

I tried to go back to play with friends for free and noticed that f2p players could only use one “action” bar :P Was that ever changed? I needed more than the 5 bars or such allowed before it even went f2p for all of the skills.

No I am not complaining about dyes, if that would be the only item where they did that I would be fine with that. I simply asked about the dyes, I was complaining about the whole gem-store focus.

And yes you can buy every think with gold but if stuff is temporary it really makes that harder. What if you lets say want 3 Halloween skins (a 55 gold), and two of these colors (a 40 gold) then you are not playing the game but only farming gold to get the items that should be available in game in stead of in some cash shop. After that prices might even go up.

Maybe SWTOR is much worse. I don’t know. But GW2 being put on the market as a B2P game I really expected not this much of micro transaction focus. However I did expect a expansion every year, year and a half because they need to make money. Sadly they seem to have gone for the micro transaction way what id not beneficial for the game itself.
