Guild Wars 2

Just hit 35 on my sylvari, bought a few pieces of T1 for transmutation. I dyed it a color scheme I liked, transmuted it the standard way, everything seemed fine until I equipped it. The proper model is showing but the colors were partly off (specifically, the main color palette bar on each piece was stuck to Dye Remover color). So I redyed them appropriately, thinking it was no big deal, only to realize that it wouldn’t stick.

Every time I left the dye selection screen, all the choices I made would revert back. I restarted the client multiple times to no avail. Moreover, if I tried to unequip a piece after my failed attempt to dye it, the game crashed.

My basic error message:

—> Crash <—
Assertion: ItemClient::CItem::GetItemArmor
File: p:\code\gw2\game\item\cli\ItCliItem.h(106)

So now I’ve blown money on cultural armor that looks hideous because I can’t dye it appropriately, and if I try to unequip it after dying it my game crashes. If I restart the client and don’t try to dye the item again, I can unequip it normally.

So I can play the game and continue on, I just happen to really like that armor set, I happened to really like the money I had before I spent it on that armor set, and I had plans to keep transmuting the set until I got some nice dungeon gear. For those reasons and more, this is a very unpleasant surprise.
