Guild Wars 2

Sylvari male, medium armor (thief).

Nighmare court guise
Firstborn gloves
Firstborn leggings
Evergreen boots

Dye: Celestial

Problem: On medium version of the Nightmare court armor celestial dye appears to be vastly different from the sylvari cultural armor (tier 3 and tier 1). Such a problem does not appear in light armor (which has consistent colouring, no matter if it’s sylvari cultural or nightmare court).

I wish it was possible to choose whether I want radiant variant or ugly greyish one. Or I would be understanding if it was the same for light armor version, but while you can freely come up with outfits by swapping cultural and nightmare in ligh you cannot do that in medium, unless you use very very dark dyes.

Thank you for the response but it provides no solution to the problem. I did played a fair amount with make over kit, trying to find perfect balance, nonetheless the preview I see in there is vastly different than the screenshot I provided. I am aware different armor parts give off different appearance. But this difference seems a bit too much, considering it is possible to make colours look similar, as it is done with light armor (where I run similar choice of attire, with cultural top and nightmare court skirt).

I am not entirely sure this should go as a bug, since it is a trivial matter of a dye.

I came up with a perfect look for my thief, collected all necessary armor and then noticed the problem. At first, in daylight it’s just a hint of different shade. But then in shadow the whole thing is much more apparent.

The problem seems to appear only with nightmare court armor in medium version. I checked and light armor is completely fine and colours consistent. All the other cultural seems to be vibrant and intense and celestial in shadow looks the way I expected: white. Whereas celestial on nightmare court armor look dirty grey. In general same dye looks vastly different on those pieces, but with celestial the difference is striking. I am saddened by how it turned out since I absolutely adore the way my thief looks at the moment, I will probably have to change the colours though. The only way to make the differences not noticeable is to go with very dark shadow/midnight dyes. Which I decidedly wanted to avoid. If anyone encountered this or has a solution that might help I would be very grateful. I apologise in advance if my topic does not fit the category.

This is my belovedl necromancer: Maurycy.

White was an obvious choice, at first I wanted to go for the vampire lord look but due to lack of proper clothing I went with this. I am still thinking of getting him some gloves since I just can’t stand the thought of someone wielding a big greatsword with bare hands. Just yesterday I discovered the headarmor skin I was always yearning for became available thus all my male characters got themselves some reading glasses.
