Guild Wars 2

I decided to redye an alt (and hear hear for Cyanide now being properly in the blues, and for outfit dyes working without a ton of panel hopping). It worked fine but then I wanted to redo the legs to have less of a light top dark bottom look. Now no matter what tab I select she’s monochrome dark blue in the hero panel. She still looks light blue in the world to other players.

So after the patch, I changed my characters look and then I tried to dye it. I decided on a look, saved it and BOOM, on my character page, where the dye page is, everything just got messed up and my gear turned into 1 color. It doesn’t really do anything to the character itself, but it’s really annoying whenever I try to change dyes again, because I can’t really see what i’m doing or what it looks like, because my character on the character dye page is dyed in 1 color.

Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?..

I can confirm this is still happening today (5-21-15). Some armor is stuck with wrong colors in the dye panel. Tried removing armor and re-adding it. Did not work.

I found a temporary work-around: switch to outfit tab, toggle an outfit on and back off with the check box, and the colors display correctly (there in the outfit tab).

I had the same thing today. My armor in the preview is mostly Illumination but in person it’s Illumination and Abyss. It happened right after I finished an Arah run, Path one.

Same thing is happening to me. I change one dye color and my preview changes more than it should. Only way to get it back is to relog. First SS is my normal dyes, 2nd is just changing 1 of the dyes on any item.

Same issue. The dye works the way it should on the actual character, but the preview in the dye window is broken and shows it all as one color, no matter what you have selected. It only shows the correct color for a section if you keep your mouse on that section. I have heard a lot of people comment on it, so it seems to be a widespread issue.

Here’s the Dev response: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Hero-Panel-Dye-Preview-Failing/first#post5088952

Good luck.

When I dye one part of the armor a colour, all or most of the armor changes and stays tat colour on the character screen. When having to dye I need to constantly apply and check the armor too see if it is right. Logging out of the came completely and back again does not fix this problem. This occurs on all armor types and all clothing types as well.

Behaviour same on my machine, what happens in preview window is not what happens on my char (in that; the char is correct, preview window is not).

I still have the same thing happening to me. I know Anet is going to fix this.

I have the same exact problem, really gets annoying when you’re trying to change the look of your toon. : (

Same problem, dyes in preview window keep bugging out. I can see them just fine on my actual character model in the game world, but not in the preview window.

Worked just fine until yesterday.

bump been noticing this issue as well.

I don’t know if this is related or not, but the dyes don’t tell you if they are unlocked when chat linked or hovered over in the Trading Post anymore either. Interlocking systems and all that fun.

Same here, i try this > zone change and then dye window work okay. but as soon i accept color changes it start to get crazy again. So i go now in and out from the HoM every time i need dye some :P

Same here .. after clicking on accept everything in the preview window is colored
in the last used color i think.

Posting here again to bring it back up. This bug is still here. Will there be a fix for it anytime soon?

Fix…. this…. It’s driving me insane.

I noticed it only happens to me after i’ve waypointed somewhere.. Not sure if it’s the same for others tho

A mysterious “soon” appears.

10/10 would quote this post again. Well played.

This bug just is still there. Please fix it! <3

I’ve noticed this as well. I had thought that it was the costume dyes that were mysteriously commandeering the armor dyes, but that was discarded after trying it on an alt without an outfit on, or dyes in the slots.

I had been meaning to test what specific dye slot it was – if any particular one at all.

I do, however, have an inkling that it’s the dye that one has selected after previewing and applying. As in, the one that is still selected as one hits “apply changes”.

Guy’s not only did we get a soon but it was a kind of pokemon sounding reference? #LaurenForQueenOfTheForums2015

This is happening to me all the time. It’s fairly annoying to not be able to preview dyes before applying them.

Same problem for me. Very annoying.

Dye on Character armor bugged

Same is happening to me with Imperial Red.

Should be fixed soon.

Oh .. i thought it was already fixed since i didn’t had the bug anymore when i
played around with the dyes 2 days ago o.O

Yeah…I only have come across the bug once in all the times I’ve changed dye colors recently, and I change dye colors a lot.

Still, it must only affect certain combinations, then.

I’m also having this issue, I’m glad it seems that it’ll be fixed.

Lauren Kamieniecki.6245:

We’re hoping on our next release that our fix will clear this up!

Do you count the weekly patches as a release or do you mean the next major game update?

just got the bug as well.

i could preview fine until i hit apply, then it happened

also if it helps at all, the only thing i changed was the celestial dye on shoes

I feel better knowing it’s not just me!….but I also feel bad now as I sent about 3 bug reports in a row discovering the dye problem, then a shoulders not changing or hiding and then transmute stones disappearing….sending me crazy……without realising it was a thing they were already looking into….my bad

There’s this really annoying bug where dying one part of the armor dyes everything in the same dye. This only happens in the UI and not the character itself, but is annoying nonetheless for when I’m trying to experiment with dyes.

Already known issue: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Hero-Panel-Dye-Preview-Failing/

Hi, this is a recent bug-glitch. I change my dye colors and as soon as I click ok to have the colors applied, the hero panel shows one color in too many places. See pic. My armor is not all dyed red. It is abyss, silver and red. This is happening on all my toons. In game it is as it should be, but the hero panel is not showing correctly. First pic is how it looks in hero panel. Second pic shows how it actually looks in game and how I applied the dyes.

I’m experiencing the same problem. Very annoying!

Good luck.

sigh… oh well at least it doesn’t affect game play.

yeah got that on my thief last month

i have the same problem, i dye it, but preview will show a glimpse of the color change and as soon as i left click to confirm, it goes back to its original color, although my character in game will actually change colors but boy is this thing annoying…

It’s hard to explain exactly what’s going on in words, so I’ve made a short video showing exactly what’s happening to me. This has actually been happening for about two weeks now.

https://youtu.be/xdamQQlbu8Q

In essence, any time I apply a dye to any part of my armor, it assigns that color to everything (but only in the window, not outside of it) making messing with my dyes properly impossible until I relog.

Ooh, thanks for doing a video of it. Could you toss it in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Hero-Panel-Dye-Preview-Failing/first#content ? A dev’s been looking at that thread and I bet the video will help.

I’ll do that. Thanks for pointing me to the main thread.

I’ve been having the same problem, and it was requested in a thread I made about it to post the video I made of it occurring here.
