It seems to me when I first log in that previewing and applying dyes works correctly.

After dyeing my character a few times though, the ‘paper doll’ breaks and pretty much covers the whole character in a single dye that is not representing the dye applied.

In game my character model shows the correctly applied dye, but in the preview window it is wrong.

There seems to be no way to fix this other than logging out and back in.

Here’s what I’m seeing:

  • When you first APPLY a new dye scheme, everything in the previewer except for your boots (and sometimes head armor) changes into the current color selected (whether or not that color is actually being used on your armor).
  • This color does not go away, even if you reapply a new scheme with a new color selected. You need to zone or log out to reset the previewer.

The problem does not affect all of my characters. This is affecting (for me):

  • Female Sylvari Ranger (Head Armor does change)
  • Male Charr Warrior (Head Armor does not change)
  • Female Asura Mesmer (Head Armor does not change)
  • Male Asura Engineer (Head Armot does not change)
  • Male Asura Necromancer (Head Armor does change)

This is not affecting (for me):

  • Female Human Elementalist
  • Female Human Guardian
  • Female Human Warrior
  • Female Norn Guardian
  • Male Asura Thief

As you can see, it doesn’t appear to be a Male or Female only thing, or a specific Race thing, an Armor Weight thing, or even a Profession thing. Just certain combinations.

Please compare notes with me. Are your results consistent with mine? Does it affect the same combos for you? Or is this totally random? What about the Sex/Race/Professions that I don’t cover here?

Let’s give ’em all the data we can so that this bug gets fixed A.S.A.P!

The dye thing is bugged. When I try to do dyes on my characters is shows previous dyes on the preview when i’ve fully changed and accepted the new dyes, its very odd/
