Guild Wars 2

I know this might seem unnecessary, but what if we could save how we dyed our armour and keep it to one side so we can use that dye setting another time?

I love changing the colour of my character’s armour. Sometimes I feel like trying something new, but after a while I’d go back to how it used to look like.

What are your opinions on this?

That would be a lovely QoL change. Right now I’ve resorted to typing up my dye schemes on Outfits for each alt in Word to bring up on my second monitor so if I swap an Outfit I can reapply my preferred dye scheme as quickly as I can hunt down the dye colors in the palette.

An alpha-sort in the palette would help immensely there.

Dye templates would be really nice. I’ve posted about this before, too. This and trait templates are great QoL features that could be added and also be fairly used to generate revenue for ArenaNet. Give each player 2 or 3 templates for both Dyes and Traits per character. If the player wants more templates, buy another template slot on the gem store.

Yay! It would be lovely to change clothes with the press of a button.

There are more pressing issues than aesthetics in my opinion. I would rather have them work on SAB world 3, new WvW maps or surprising new content.

The idea of having a dye template is a common suggestion, and a great one. It’s been floated to the development team before, but I just raised it again as an idea to remind them about it.

While you’re at it, remind them about the build and equipment template we’ve all been asking for as well.

While you’re at it, can you please remind them about the build and equipment template we’ve all been asking for as well. Thank you!

Fixed that for you.

We need trait/skill templates first. Remember how we could save our builds in GW1? We need that. Desperately.

Yep, but instead they will worry abort minis and town clothes for the 10% of players who care about that stuff :-/

Your current dyes get applied to newly equiped dyed armor, but there’s no way to make quick changes with presets.

It’ll be welcomed.

Thanks Regina.

(Sorry, I know this is basically a content-free post, but seriously, thanks.)

having 3 trait arrangements saved would be nice
what has really saddened me since i created my character during early start of this game.. there is no save character customization.. sure, it remembers what your settings are as far as the system is concerned, but it’ll never remind you what your character looked like 3 make over kits ago.. :<
same with the dye system..
also, my character experiences some sort of dye system anomaly.. it says ‘dye remover’ but when dye is erased the armor becomes beige.. when the ‘pipette’ is used, no color in my inventory is highlighted.. it does not tell me the dye name, and it can not be saved as a favorite.. it’s bothersome, but i’m reluctant to change the color until i can hunt down what dye it really is  x_x

If this is implemented, there should also be a “reset” button added in the dye panel so you could go back to the original color scheme

There, Even more Fixed! Probably too Fixed! Perhaps under-fixed! Maybe the perfect level of Fixed!

Also, while we’re speaking of Templates and stuff, Trait templates would be cool to have too since those can change quite frequently no matter what equipment you are wearing, but I can understand the difficulty in implementing Equipment templates (except for PvP), and can understand if those never happen. What happens if you load a template, and all that gear is in the bank? Kind of makes it pointless, doesn’kitten
