Guild Wars 2

Ok, I have this really irritating problem with one of my characters. She is a Sylvari, pure white, with white glow. In the character selection screen she shows white. In game, she shows a dark grey. Even when dressed, with her clothes dyed white, the clothes appear also dark grey.
This is really irritating especially because I have purchased a make-over kit to make her specifically bright white and suddenly instead I got this dark grey thing going on

This is how it looks in the character selection screen; then in game, both without and with clothes. And another Sylvari character I have that is white, that shows white, with white clothes. Compare the two. Seriously, I’ve spent so much time to bring the char to 80, spent money on make-over kit, then this happens?

Weird. Does the brightness change when you adjust graphics settings? I do also find that the character selection screen is as bright as the game ever gets. The closest spot that i’ve found to that kind of brightness is somewhere in the Shiverpeaks, like wayfarer foothills. Though the difference in brightness of color shouldn’t be that much.

I don’t want this to appear to be a slap in the face to you… But Remove the Poly-Luminescent Refractor… That is why you appear dark, “Cats Shadow”.

Also, looking at your first screenshoot from Character Selection your char doesn’t look “pure white” for me. I see it with a light shade of green, what color did you pick up for its skin? Also yes, as pointed out above you are under an effect that changes the color of your char (see the purple square with a sun icon above your skill bar).

OMG thank you so much guys! I had the Oontz necklace of the cat equipped and didn’t realize it was giving this effect! I had surgery 3 days ago and I’m still fuzzy brained from anesthesia and still taking pain medicine, and couldn’t figure out what was going on! I was to the brink of tears, seriously. Been working hard to make a “snow-white reaper” and was so frustrated.Thank you bunches!

Almighty Dervisher, I think it might be the ley-line chest that has greenish hues. But definitely white glow on white hair on sylvari gives a greenish-bluish-purplish iridiscence on specific hair styles (this is one of them).

Again thank you so much all!

going to find another necklace

Hehe, no worry, it happens. And wishing you a good recovery btw. Actually, I had never used such accessory but I also figured the effect because I have seen people all yellowish, purplish and such running around and I was like “huh?” until I would select them and see that buff in their nameplate, similar to the one you had in the screenshoot.

I actually knew about this stuff, and had the necklace “of the cat” in my bank for a while – forgot where I got it, dungeon? world boss? – and when I hit 80 with the necro I thought that a celestial would do ok for a while until I get her a condi one. But by then my mind was all fuzzy and forgot about the effect.

Thank you again.
