Guild Wars 2

So if I’m gonna buy for example 5 blue(rarity) dyes and use them on 5 characters then I’ll receive 4 unidentified dyes as a refund after patch or it won’t count after this announce?

I believe not, that would be hard to do

i see the price of unidentified dye dropping significantly because of this…

So I’ll receive only 1 unindentified dye for duplicate/triplicate/… dye?

I think if I read correctly you would get 4 unidentified dye for 4 duplicates 1 on each extra char.

If you have 8 characters and 5 of them have “Special Awesome Dye” now, when this patch goes live you’ll have 8 characters with “Special Awesome Dye” and 4 Unidentified Dyes (you had 5 “Special Awesome Dyes” in use, one of them because the account unlock and the other 4 get “refunded” to you as Unidentified Dyes).

No.

When the patch go live you gonna have 5 Character with the ‘’Special Awesome Dye’’ and you will receive 4 unidentified dyes.

All dyes that you have currently learned will become account dyes when the patch goes live.

No. You are wrong.

Quote : ‘’When you unlock a dye after the feature pack is released, all characters on your account will have unlimited access to that color.’’

The dye you have already unlock won’t be unlock on other character.

Go ahead and read the very next sentence after your quote (from the blog)…

In order for them to give you a free unidentified dye for duplicate account unlocks, you would have to have account unlocks. The only way for you to have account unlocks is for them to convert all of your current character unlocks into account unlocks.

Ok, here is my take on what happens after the patch goes live.

• You log in character # 1 and it has 30 (non-starter) dyes that get registered as ACCOUNT wide.
• You log in character # 2 and the 10 (non starter) dyes that Char # 1 did NOT have get registered as ACCOUNT wide (now 40 account wide dyes registered. Also, Char 2 had 5 additional dyes that Char 1 already registered…..5 unidentified dyes appear in Char 2 inventory (or mail if inventory is full?).
• Log in Character # 3 and no new dyes get registered, but 25 of the dyes already ACCOUNT wide were duplicated on this character…..25 unidentified dyes generated.
• Log in Character # 4 has 10 more dyes for the ACCOUNT wide registration (now total of 50 that ANY character can use) and 10 others that were already registered….10 more unidentified dyes.
• ETC…ETC…

Take unidentified dyes and either try to sell them (at a MUCH Lower price since this is going to GLUT the UID dye market).

- OR -

Open all of them and register the new ones and take the duplicates to the Mystic Flusher (or sell).

Yay for turning 200g+ worth of duplicate dyes into like… 2-3g of unidentified ^^, then again, I really don’t mind as it seems ill be able to dupe my foefire/mist weapons across all characters and save myself thousands of gold ^^

This is to eliminate all duplicate dyes. So not only do you get to keep one – accessible to your own characters, but sell the other one. Not every player would have various dyes unlocked. And you’re not taking in to account of new players coming in. So what’s the main complaint?. It’s a win – win situation.

Just be clear (if you were asking me), I am not complaining and feel this is a good change.

I have made a good bit of gold selling UIDed dyes, but since it’s not a dependable source of income, I’ll get over it.
