I didn’t know exactly where to put this, since I don’t know if this is a bug or intentional. Sorry if it’s in the wrong place, feel free to move it.
Earlier today, I bought the Whispers Boots from the Order of Whispers armor vendor. The daggers on the outer side of the boots were then a silvery steel color, perfectly acceptable for a bladed weapon.
Now, after the patch, I put the boots back on (they were to be part of my new RP set), and the daggers are completely red. They look like plastic toys. There is no option to change the dye color of that part of the boot. I’ve added screenshots of the boots (sorry about the angle in the first one – I didn’t know I’d have to use it in this context) where you can rather clearly see the difference in color of the dagger attachment, as well as one that proves I haven’t accidentally dyed them.
I’ve asked others to preview the boots. It shows up with silvery daggers for most of them, with one or two people reporting them as the red you see in the screenshot.
Now, I’d love for an Arena Net rep to tell me whether this is a deliberate change. If yes, I’d like to know why on earth you thought it was a good idea to make a weapon look like a plastic toy.
I’d also like to know if others have the same problem (yes, it is a problem for me), if you’ve figured out a way to make them stop being red, or if you’ve seen it written anywhere that this is an actual change I have to live with.
Thanks.
