Guild Wars 2

On lots of gear, there are 2-3 different “dye spots” for selecting your gear colors. The first dye spot is usually the primary coloring of the gear piece. The second spot normally controls some major detail color, and the third spot usually controls some minor detail colors. For example, on chest armor, I would expect spot 1 to control the color of my blouse. I would expect spot 2 to control sleeve fringes color and belt color. I would expect spot 3 to control belt buckle color. You get the idea.

With gloves, this general pattern seems completely broken. I have numerous pairs of gloves where Spot 1 doesn’t do anything. Spot 2 controls the glove color. Spot 3 also doesn’t do anything. I see this on boots as well.

If any of you mods are around, is this the kind of thing you’d like to have specific bug reports about? Or just a general heads-up that gloves usually have more dye color spots than actual colored areas? I’m kind of leery of filing bug reports for each piece of gear I encounter this on, simply because I’m afraid I will swamp you with reports and accidentally duplicate my bug reports as I level multiple characters.

I’m completely confused by what parts of an armor piece are colored by which dye. One set of armor will show 80% one color while another set will be 80% another (in terms of how much of the visible armor has color). Any pattern is lost on me.

However, I think that’s the system that they designed, i.e. it’s working as intended.

I think your best bet is to create an umbrella suggestion that outlines how you think it should work.
