Just a suggestion, next time refer to it as emergency maintenance, rather then just unscheduled. The way you had it phrased had people on Twitter going berserk.

Any ETA? Even a ballpark?

Same problem here. I already submitted a ticket and are waiting on them. Only posting here in case it’s part of a larger issue.

Update: I contacted my bank and they stated they never even got the requests, so it’s on your end somewhere.

Sorry, I’ve been on vacation the last week and a half.

I decided to keep it. It wasn’t that expensive and I figured I could find a use for it somewhere. In the end I actually redid his entire look to go for a “Grove” feel. I kept the white feathers as his dedication to Owl, but managed to work the wreath in.

This is what I did…

I’m colorblind and also not a dye expert, but if you’re trying to neutralize the green towards white (as opposed to black) you could try a light purple dye.

The textures would be blended in RGB colorspace, so what you currently have is something like G only, so adding R and B will make it white. That’s assuming gw2 does an additive blend of the colors. If it’s not additive I’m not sure what you could do.

tl;dr: try a light purple dye, it couldn’t hurt to try.

It was worth a try. Sadly, it didn’t work. Just ended up with a darker shade of purple. Thanks, though!

I did try it. A preview, unfortunately is very small and I didn’t notice the green on the leaves. I was using the Honor of the Waves “helm”. I was just hoping for better. I’m not keen on the wings on the tip for the feathered helm.

Oh, I know. Alex uses celestial, white and black. Works perfectly for him. I actually like the reflective effect. Unfortunately it also makes the green on the wreath a deal breaker. Even if I switch the color on the wreath from celestial to white it has little to no effect. Still looks like a dusting of snow on a green leaf unfortunately.

Alex is an ardent follower of the slain Norn spirit Owl. His color scheme is designed to emulate that of the snow owls around Owl’s wrecked lodge. That’s also why he’s covered in white feathers and why I’m trying to color the leaves of the wreath pure celestial white.

Not this time. I need pure white leaves and the reference pictures in the original post were taken using celestial dye. As I said earlier, darker colors (such as midnight ice) will mask the green. Lighter colors will not.

To give you an idea, this is the character and outfit I am trying to match.

I wanted to warn people that the Wreath of Cooperation does not take dyes well. The leaves themselves are green and dye color only. This is disappointing as I am normally able to dye leaves celestial and make them appear as white feathers. No matter what you apply green will bleed through, especially when you look top down. Darker colors mask this somewhat while lighter colors barely show.

This is the wreath dyed celestia.

…and this is still dyed celestia top down.

As you can see, there is very little white and all. It more looks like the leaves were simply lightly dusted with snow. So, this is just a heads-up to those considering getting one. Sadly, this is not going to work at all for my character, and I need to find out how to go about pursuing a refund.

I would absolutely love unoccupied dungeons for RPing. Formal balls and performances in Caudacus’ Manor anyone?

That being said, a simple menu upon entering could do the trick, allowing people to enter the “general” or “instanced” versions of the areas.

I am currently running our guild storyline, and I am finding it increasingly frustrating to find places to set adventures in. Being able to go into an uninstanced Catacombs, for example, gives a nice, large area for some sort of Ascalonian event.

Please ANet, give us more areas to play in, and we’ll keep buying your baubles off the Black Lion.

Yeah, it never occured to me that these would be account bound. Makes no sense. I’m kinda miffed I dropped the gems on them now.

I’d like ANet to at least give us an option to transfer or a refund. I don’t mind shunting the gold over had I realized.

ANet comment please?
