Guild Wars 2

Lamont.5973:

Does one of the other dye slots have a color that you have not unlocked on that character? If so then you will not be able to change color on any part of the helm unless all dye slots contain colors that character has unlocked. So you may have to either unlock, use dye remover or dye over the slot that has the locked dye before you can put “sky” on the third slot.

Thank you! This was exactly it. I didn’t have something. Removing all three slots worked.

Some people have had luck using the dye remover, closing the Hero window, then re-dyeing the affected armor piece. Good luck.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately it didn’t work. :/

I recently made a Guardian and every time I change the dye color in the 3rd slot, it defaults back to ‘Sky’.

I chose the Helm in the bio, and was wondering if this was just a guardian thing, or if it’s just me having the problem.

I’ve tried many different helmets and any helmet with a 3rd color has this problem. It changed on the dye menu, but when I hit escape it just goes back to default.

Call it elitism if you want, but I know when my time is being wasted by players in a broken system. I bet you voted for Obama.

Magic Find is a pointless, idiotic stat. Anyone who uses it in a group is being completely selfish and NOT contributing 100% to the overall success of the party.

SURE it can work in stupid little CoF Path 1 gold runs. People can do that in their sleep.

Talk to me when you’re in FotM level 40+ and you have one moron in Magic Find gear trying to snag an extra yellow for the Mystic Forge, that is doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help 4 other players in the party.

The stat is stupid, and promotes selfish play.

ANet needs to add an inspect feature, if only to not waste my time with idiots like this.

One thing I’ve always enjoyed from dungeons in any MMO were random, rare, bosses that had a “chance” to drop something special, possibly named after him/her.

Examples:

-Path 3 in Arah, one of the Giants pathing around the final platform has a chance to be called “BIG NOSE NICK”, and he can drop mob-specific items. Rare skins and what not.

-CoF path 1, when you do the event that spawns Acolytes that you have to kill, one of the other mobs that spawn has a chance to be a named Champion, with a high chance to drop one of X number of weapon skins.

Stuff like this would make people want to kill stuff, and also make encounters much more dynamic and/or give players the chance to make some parts of the dungeon more challenging in order to gain some cool stuff.
