Guild Wars 2

Apologize if there is already a topic regarding this issue, but the search function..
I have a problem with the dying of an armor.
I have no blue dye on the dye slots yet the armor always shows blue tint..
I have tried with other heavy armors in preview mode and its the same for most of them. Scaled armor works fine however..
When i preview light or medium armor this does not happen.
I have atached a file showing the problem.

Use the Remove Dye tool on all of the dye slots and save the changes. Go back in and re-dye to your liking and your changes should save correctly now.

Hmm, are you ABSOLUTELY certain you’re not an Ascalonian ghost?

This happens on some heavy armors and Sylvari armor. It’s not really a bug….it’s just how it is.

For some reason i cannot use the dye remover. When i try on this armor it just changes to another color.. On my other character that has another armor i can use it and actually take the dye.

It’s not a bug at all, the armor is shiny.

Shiny armors reflect the environment map. So if the environment has a blue sky, it will shine blue. If it has a red sky, it will shine red, etc. Even a blue-ish moon will make it look a bit colder in contrast to other warmer colors in the environment.

Hmm not that i am doubting you but i never saw it shine red. Always blue. Same thing in a cavern where there is no sky at all. Shouldnt it shine in another color other than blue?
And are we not informed about this “special” feature of the armor? I bought the armor because i liked it and when i previewed before buying it there was no blue whatsoever. That is why i bought it, if i knew it would be blue i would not buy it nor transmute it after to get other stats..
Also i just blasted tokens getting a few pieces of TA armor for my other character and he shows no blue, even though its on the same place as my character with the problem..
So.. how come this doesnt show the special feature while the other does? Even underwater there is no blue like the other one.. There is some silver but no blue.

Let me guess, you’re a sylvari and your “skin” is blue, cultural sylvari armor (and maybe Twilight Arbor armor too) has this “extra” it imitates your skin on some parts of the armor

I see, i am indeed a silvary with blue skin.. But when i previewed there was no blue on it.. so i will have to either live with it or change armor yet again.. kitten it..
Its not even a nice blue x.x
And why is this “extra” not shown, had i known i would pick something else.. It would be handy to have an “extras” list for races and armors or other combos x.x
Had i known it was from the silvary race i would not have spent TA tokens on another char, but oh well..
