Swagger.1459 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 We can dye the glider, but cannot dye the back piece. Note... I understand it requires extra work and resources, but a super QoL feature for "Fashion Wars" would be to add dye channels to all Gem Store items, legendary back pieces, legendary weapons, the legendary trinket Aurora and, importantly, to player skills. Would be well worth the investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Except they can't add dye channels just to those items. It's all or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseofGilead.8907 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Yeah, it'd be a nice feature to have. But, as Inculpatus said, they can't/won't develop that feature just for a few items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malafaia.8903 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Dye channels to gemstore/ legendary items would be great. So much more possibilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be nice if we can custom dye it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that to make even a single item dyeable they have to remake **all** items of that type, since they have to alter the system. So, to add dye channels to legendary weapons, *every weapon in the game* has to be remade - even those that don't get dye channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokh.2695 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The issue comes up every time they give us such a glider/backpack combo item. It would be awesome if the backpiece would use the coloring of the glider, wouldn't even require additional dye slots for backpieces. I doubt it will happen though.

GrubySzymek.1362 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It's too late. They can't ever do this, because there are backitems that are sold seperately, even though they share the same model. Most notably - wings. if they introduced dye channels for back items they should refund all duplicates people bought during years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they would not have to refund all the duplicates people bought during the years have had fair use of them before this change same with people who bought multiple salvagomatics before the account slots got introduced.

Nogothanc.5014 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Ofcourse they can do it. Its just a thing of programming. But it is not a question wheter they can or cannot do it. The important question is: Will the invested time to do this change be cost efficient? I am no expert but I assume that the answer is no. I would appeciate if they would do it ... its nice to have but I think it is better to work on new stuff instead of adjusting old stuff that isnt broken.

Ayakaru.6583 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I know, its not nice. And its been my issue before. I have a normal destroyer themed main character, so I was very happy when they released Destroyer Wings. Except they made the default colour green (for some godless reason) and while I can dye the glider to a normal fire colour, the backpack is a permant toxic green :( Ive said before, anet should just release backpacks with like 3 notable colour schemes.

I understand it requires extra work and resources, This requires (a) creating an entirely new system and (b) retrofitting every other existing similar item in the game, regardless of whether those items have usable dye channels after. It's not "extra" work, it's changing the design philosophy for how weapons are built, from the ground up. > Would be well worth the investment. No, it won't be. It's a major cost to set up the system, to implement it, and it increases the costs of designing new weapons and backpacks. It's an enormous investment, with little financial benefit to help fund it. **** Incidentally, nothing has changed since [the last time the OP asked about dyeing backs](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/25961/can-we-please-add-dye-channels-to-warbringer), in January of this year.
