Guild Wars 2

I’ve been having the same happen, as well as my gf

Still broken. Please fix.

Lately, every time I open the hero panel, I see my character with some random dyes applied, usually something brown.

This does not affect me in any way. My character still has the right colours. When I go to the dye edit section, the applied colours are still as they should be, despite what’s being shown. It fixes itself when I hover other colours over it.

Does anyone know what could cause this, by any chance?

No idea. Sometimes when I dye my characters the preview picture turns everything the last colour I used when I hit Apply. That’s only been happening lately as well. Weird times.

Yeah it’s a new bug. Does it all the time on Mac.

OP- just a heads up, any threads to do with bugs need to be posted in the bug forum.

Me and my bf have also both been seeing these problems:
-Outfits get dyed using the colours selected for armour dyes
-Outfit textures take long to load, often resulting in invisible areas or areas that are wrongly coloured.

Here’s a post in the bugs forum that is similar: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Wardrobe-Dye-Bug

The OP in this thread supplies a video, which also shows other dye problems.

Make sure you report the bug in-game. If it’s bothering you a lot, you can always submit a support ticket too.

Same issue. Really annoying.

This is the kind of thing I’m experiencing on this account:

Not problems whatsoever with newer account. Have to log out for Hero panel to show correct dyes.

Just adding my name to the list of players affected by this bug. Re-log can clear it for a moment but it rebugs more or less straight away.

I also have this problem.

Glad to see I’m not the only one having this problem Well, looking forward to see it’s fix!

Since last patch my dye ui has not been working correctly. I will dye a swatch and it will not show on my character in the preview. Even if I click apply my armor colors will not change in the preview. It does change on my chatacter though. I just cannot preview the dyes.

The issue is still here. Please fix it.. It’s getting really really annoying.

Started having this bug today. Used a total makeover kit and went to the hero panel to redye the armor to fit the new look, and found the dye preview all messed up. In game looks fine.

This bug seems to be very inconsistent. Some people have it, others don’t, and they affect different professions, person to person. My Thief if affected by the issue but none of my 7 other professions are(I have a toon for each class).

Can confirm, It only happens on my Ele. My Warrior, Ranger, and two Necros are not experiencing the bug. I noticed that it initiated when i tried to transmute my Ele’s armor after selecting new dyes and clicking accept so that both the dyes and skins were applied at the same time.
And sometimes when i try to strip the armor off to try to reset the color palate in the hero pannel, the undergarments will change to the color that i used last.

This bug seems to only happen to my human, not my Norn. (I don’t have other races)

When I dye my character’s armor and hit accept, it colors the entire armor in the dye window the last color that I used until I zone or log out and in. Not a huge deal but quite annoying. Have had this issue for about 2 weeks or so now.

Lately ive been changing my dye color for my armors. The colors I use dont show on the character I have up in the dye area of the hero panel.

Confirmed

The dyes show properly on my character, but dont display properly in the dye preview panel, like in your screenshot

Yeah I have to zone or re-log to temporarily fix it

Reporting. I’m having the same issue. Sometimes porting to a waypoint far enough to get you a loading screen fixes it, most of the time it does not.

I have the same problem, I hope they fix this soon.

Its frustrating, every time I save a dye I have to re-log

Hallo,

Interestingly this does not repro on any of our internal environments but as soon as I let someone check on live it was instant. We are now tracking this bug but it is too early for me to have any further information.

Ahh….I love code.

So the first applied dye will change all dye channels of every piece of equipment in the preview window except for the footwear and sometimes the headgear. This color change persists whether I close the hero panel or not and while in the same zone. It can be cleared temporarily by logging out, changing zones, applying and removing an outfit(changing outfits will clear the bug until the dye tab is selected).
Below is a summary of my affected characters.
Affected: asura-necro(all but feet), human-ranger(all but head/feet), norn-guardian(all but head/feet), norn-ranger(all but feet), sylvari-ele(all but feet).
Unaffected: charr-war, human-guard, human-mes, human-thief, human-war, norn-engi.

Same problem for me. Still not fixed. It’s been doing this for a while. Super dysfunctional. I change dyes ALL the time and this is totally frustrating.

my asuran engi who wears transmuted armors, dye preview failing still

Good Morning,

So I wanted to post this issue here to make the development team aware. I did a quick forum search here and found nothing in relation to the in game dye interface for changing armor color dye.

I have also asked around and nobody I have spoken to (about 5 people) have seen this issue on their game. So I don’t know if it would be a localized issue or not.

The issue is that when I dye my armor the resulting view of my character within the interface shows one solid color usually the color I just died a piece of armor. I am not dying the entire set of my gear, just one piece.

Here are some example screen shots: http://imgur.com/a/I5ZJF

You will notice that the first image is in all Winter Ice and the Second is in all Midnight Rust but my armor is two or three tone. The result and changes are correct but contrary to what the view screen shows the armor isn’t all dyed the same color.

The other issue with this is, after closing the interface and reopening it still shows as the armor was dyed entirely. Thus resulting in a not very good way of gathering a preview. Reloading the game is the only fix thus far.

Just wanted to let you know!

Thanks,
Van

I thought I was going crazy too. It only effects the preview window. Definitively a bug.
Dyed my outfit bright red and the preview is still the muddy brown of the dye remover.

Still happening. I just got this bug on my human warrior.

Why hasn’t this post been made sticky yet? I don’t understand why this would not reproduce within any development environment but with all due respect Lauren Kamieniecki, that does not change the fact or really have any relevance to it being a problem in the live game.

Here is another screen shot and some links on another post I made related to the exact same issue.

This needs to get some attention and be fixed. It’s quite annoying to get new armor and still have a solid color of your last chosen dye color covering your armor.

Thanks,
~Van

Same thing is happening to me. Any updated ETA on fix?

I still have the same issue. Please, let us know if this is going to be looked! thanks.

There’s a very annoying bug when I change the color of my armor.

As you can see in the image, all colors are applied, but if I change a single piece and Accept, the entire gear is affected and further color options are not applied, only happens in preview though.

Can be fixed by leaving the area or go to char select screen.

I’m getting this same glitch! And all my online buddies are getting it too!! Please fix this Anet!!!!

I’ve also had this glitch recently. Very frustrating at times.

It has been happening to me for a while now. So annoying I can’t decently know what I am doing with my colors. Just to let you guys know, I think the bug is bonded to certain accounts, as my friend logged her account on my computer to play and it wasn’t happening to her. I just wish it would work for me too :(

I. Want. This. kitten . Unbearable. Bug. FIXED!
IT’S DRIVING ME INSANE! I can’t fashion like this!!!!!! Pleez!
/bashes head against wall

Started new after a break and got this bug. I’m surprised it lasted for more than a month now ’cause it only need two days to driving me insane. Pls fix asap.

Any word on a fix for this?? It’s really hard to change look with no dye preview.

With all the gamebreaking bugs i guess this one just isn’t that high on the priority list. I am very sorry.

In the Hero panel, Dyes subsection, when coloring your armor one color that has already been applied to the armor shows as the color for the entire piece.

Within seconds of changing a single color on a single piece of armor, it changes the entire set (except boots) to be entirely that color. The change is only reflected in the hero panel, not on your actual character.

This is still happening to me as well. Makes it very annoying.

The dye system is bugged. It will not show me the preview of the dyes that will be applied to my armor. when I select a color and then hover over the dye square it will flash the color and then nothing. It usually shows a color a dyed some time ago and will not show me current colors.

I’m very tired of this bug, I changed my color from time to time, especially when I been buying those gemstore expensive dyes. This dye bug really is annoying.

I do noticed the only character that hasn’t been affect by the dye bug is my Thief. Weird enough. (or when you create new toon)

Still bugged no patch fixed it yet, bugs right after you dye armor, relogging fixes for 1 time then it bugs again.

Someway its fixed for me! Thanks God!!!

It just started happening for me after the latest patch. Still isn’t fixed.

To replicate:

1. heavy armour
1. go into hero panel and select a dye you are currently not wearing
2. apply it to the top dye slot of a chest item
3. click apply

Chest and pants should now show all the same colour (the one you just applied) in the dye selection screen, but has been applied properly to your charactor.

Looks like shoulders is caught up in this bug as well.

Also closing and going back into the hero screen does not fix it.

Selecting another colour in the other colour slots also does not fix it.
