BlueJin.4127 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I was playing around in various places and unless you're in very bright places, the Timekeeper outfit looks nothing like the preview window. The screenshots were taken with graphic settings on high. It's... very disappointing. https://ibb.co/eKB1Fz Is there anything Anet can do about this?

Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It may be the specific colours you've used. I use different colours on mine, and I haven't noticed such wild differences, but I haven't looked closely either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hevoskuuri.3891 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Some armour and cloth materials and/or dyes look different in different lights and depending whether you are inside or outside. I'm always finding nice-looking combinations in the preview screen that look just awful it in the flesh. That really sucks. But then again, some dull-looking outfits in the preview screen look awesome in certain areas. Metal materials, for example, look pretty boring in preview but in the game world they reflect the environment and light, making them look much better.

artemis.6781 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Try separating your dyes by material instead of hue or set. That might help you decide which would look better on cloth, leather, and metal. As said above, some dyes look dull or bright depending on the material.

Lumpy Forehead.2193 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I wish I had seen this thread earlier, I have the exact same experience as the OP. Even with metallic dye on the metallic rim of the outfit, it still look "coarse" and not smooth and shiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witch of Doom.5739 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I find this is true with many armors and outfits, that they look different under different lighting conditions. Kind of like real life. Personally I love the Timekeeper outfit and am glad I got it since my Chronomancer wants everything time-related. Here she is with probably too many shinies. https://bit.ly/2I6myL2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
