Guild Wars 2

(This was seen in WvW; it may be present elsewhere, but I can’t confirm or deny that.)

Equipping new gear resulted in all gear colour slots defaulting to “Dye Remover”.

Having previously worked out a vaguely-pleasing colour-scheme for the gear on my mid-level character, I decided it was time to give her gear a makeover, so I selected and bought a tranche of stuff on the TC. To collect it, I popped over to my home Borderlands in WvW, spoke to the BL Trader, and received the gear. I then went into inventory, and right-clicked on each item to equip it. On leaving inventory, I noticed that my character now seemed to be dressed in a rather drab selection of browns. Opening the Hero/Equipment/Dye panel revealed that all of the item dye colours were now set to “Dye Remover”. On past occasions, new gear has picked up the colours from the slots set for the old gear (the result isn’t always ideal, but at least it vaguely preserves the feel of things).

Being lazy (and slightly miffed), and not wanting to have to go through and set everything COMPLETELY from scratch again, I experimented, and found that, with the Dye panel open, re-equipping the old gear restored the colour scheme for that slot, and re-equipping the new item THEN resulted in the old colour scheme being remembered and honoured for the new gear.

Edit: And on re-entering the game today, one piece of the new equipment had “forgotten” its colours, and was pure “Dye remover” again. I think (can’t be definitively sure after a gap of 48 hours) that I’d experimented after the initial problem by changing dyes on other pieces of gear, but not on that one.

Edit 2: Basically, all my new gear now seems to come without colour. Meaning either I run around feeling very drab or have to go find the Dyes tab every time I equip something new. Really annoying.

Edit 3: I see there’s another thread on this, and that it’s a known bug:
