On my sylvari warrior, i am wearing cultural tier 2 armor with twilight arbor helmet and shoulders. during the day my armor fully matches. however if i enter darker places , my helmet and shoulder armor change to a darker color while the rest of my armor remains the same. this causes my armor to not match at all. This is so frustrating to me and i am honestly ocd about it. please fix it!

On the pictures i attached, the left most is what it looks like in the dye selection. the middle is what it looks like in the dark. and the right is what it looks like hanging around in the light.

Also does anyone else have this problem??

There’s not much the dev’s will be able to do about this ‘problem’. The real problem here is that you’re using a mix of armors that all have different ‘night’ appearance. I’m afraid that if you want to fix this, you might need to find different armor.

well i don’t understand why it happens. Before i hit level 80, i used the “named” shoulder skin and the same thing happens. but only the shoulder and helm armor changes colors, why doesn’t the T2 armor change its color at night

Unfortunately there were multiple threads pointing out this issue several months ago. These threads garnered no response from ArenaNet in them and the issues with night time lighting failing to affect certain pieces of armor (from many sets) has never been addressed. I am sorry to say that players should not anticipate their getting around to correcting the issue.

Sorry, I’m going to have to agree with what he’s said. When you mix armor sets, there’s to be something strange to happen. Apparently the lighting effects the 2 armor set differently, one getting a blue tint than the other. There’s no “fix” for it because it may have been planed that way when the texture artist worked out the different sets.

If you’re interested on the technicalities, the lighting on different objects is affect by the ambient texture as oppose to the defuse texture (which we see in the day at full light), there’s several layers of texture on any given object and which one has a different characteristic and they are all specially planed by the artist.

In the end, there’s no fix because it’s no a bug.

*disclaimer, I’m not a dev, but I have painted textures for a few personal character animation projects, so I’m just telling you from MY experience, not theirs, but I imagine it’s quite similar.

Um… not to sound like a prick but if it really bothers you that bad, don’t play in dark/night time. Or get a different set/matching set so that all of the texture packs are the same.
