Guild Wars 2

I had dyed my armor Starry Night (or it was this color without me noticing at first). It seems that after having removed the color from the armor and checked a different color that I do not own yet over it (Abyssal Black), the armor is now only silver. It shows as Starry Night color in the Dye selection and on my Character sheet but appears silver in-game. I can only dye the cloak Starry Night. I can change the other 2 areas with the other colors but I can’t apply Starry Night anymore . I have logged out and back in, exited the game and so on, nothing fixes it.

I bought Shadow Blue color and I had the same problem. I noticed the issue when I went from the Myst to Lion’s Arch and then to Caledon Forest (first zone for the Sylvari). I went back to the Norn main city cause I remembered the color being fine over there and it somehow fixed it. I went back to Caledon Forest to compare if it was just the lighting that had such a huge impact making it look almost black to almost white and it seems to be resolved as of now.

Okay, for some reason, the bug is on and off depending on the zone I’m in. It’s definitely not just the lighting. Sometimes it’ll be pure silver and sometimes it’ll work and be black (shadow blue). For example, walking down in Kessex Hills towards the Wizard’s Fief, my armor was silver and now that I’m over there, it turned truly black (the color it’s supposed to be) again. The shade difference is too big for it to just be different lighting from one place to an other.

So far, I’ve noticed that the bug occurs in Lion’s Arch and Caledon Forest for sure. The armor is normally the right color in the Norn city (I forget the name). Otherwise, it depends where I am in the world on and off, it’s really weird. Then, once outside that town in Kessex Hills (for example Sojourner’s Way), the armor is back to light silver.

Here’s the same armor, same black dye (shadow blue) but different places on maps (here are 2 when it appears as light silver):

And here’s when it appears as the right color (it’s the same map as the 2nd picture, just further up the road)

Dyes in this game appear differently under different lighting conditions, just like they do IRL.

So you mean that your armor goes from pitch black to almost white as you move across different places on the map? I was standing in light in different places and they had different colors but maybe it happens with all armors in this game. As for the RL thing… I’ve never seen my clothes go from fully black to light silver as I walk down the street, I would recommend you go see an eye doctor if that’s what you see.

BTW, just take a look at the screenshots I posted, look at picture one and picture 3. I understand lighting could affect it but not to that point (picture 3 is during the day under light, not at night, not under a shadow). It’s most certainly a bug with this armor in particular because if I take off the outfit, my regular armor stays black, it doesn’t turn light silver when I go to different areas.
