Dye Updates...

Stop bitching and use that brain... Dye on metal looks different than dye on cloth or on leather. It is more natural now.

So the lack of dye remover should make no difference.
I love the new Dye setup. Now adding multiple of the same color adds to the saturation! sweet!

People LIKED the nice colors we were able to make and not these muddy drab ugly colors. If Anet wants to have dull colors then add a "dull dye" to merchants and give the people who wanted thier bright, pretty dyes back.
This new dye update is horrible and violently ugly!
Oh and as to "natural" on metal obviously you've never worked in jewelery where you can enamal metals and use other methods to make colors that are VERY bright.

But seriously, you might want to try using more dyes to get the color you are looking for. By this I mean, if you think the red dye is too "drab" try 2-3 reds. I noticed that now multiple colors add to the saturation. Personally, I don't see a saturation problem in the new dyes. I acctually think there are more options. And I like hoe silver adds to the contrast & grey lowers it. So many options now!

Hi,
Yes, dyes are now stacking. Just wanted to make extra sure that everyone knew that.
And yes, you have many more colour choices now, both in individual colours and in combinations. Saturation variances is just part of what will impact this. And the preview window is one of the best features added! The options now offered will increase the personalization of our characters by a significant order of magnitude.

I am interested in seeing what improvements each dye has undergone. If you have pictures plz post. |

I have the Kaineng Center Shing Jea armor & I got 2 brown dye drops...I used them on the chest & legs & it looks REALLY nice
I like the contrast with the boots & gloves...they have yellow+dye remover mix on them which barely changed the shade of the way they used to be when crafted (before they went with the all gray armors....I'll try to remember to put a screenie up, but it adds a nice contrast to the tribal swirls that are on the chest & side because it stays the light tan color. At some point I'd like to add black to see how it looks with dark brown, but I'll probably just wait, I may get 15k armor if I like playing the ranger well enough. He's only lvl9 right now.

I don't know if anybody thought of this, but i was messing around looking at what weapons would look like with dyes etc and i tried grey on the chaos axe.. lol.
So you dye your chaos axe grey and you're happy, but you can never have the green/blue colour again because there is no dye remover.. ;\ unless you mix dyes which are close to the original colour.
I took a screeny of the chaos axe dyed grey, liking the box around it.

What a relief that the new dyes now stack with the old.
Except, oddly, one lone new orange dye I found just doesn't want to jump in with the other vials of orange.

I've just tried, again, to place a newly acquired Red dye (from Elona) into my existing stack of 25 (from Tyria & Cantha) and it won't take. The two, the single dye and the stack, just swap places with each other.
Nice job on Nightfall though, barring the odd little teething problems.

I have not yet tried to stack my dyes....however I have noticed dye dropping more often. Also, when I left today, White was at 64k.

argh i hope they make it so the dyes stack -_- cause i have like 300 dyes and i dont want to use 8 more slots to hold new dyes
Katina
I was with a friend who just dyed her FoW white. I brought my mesmer to look at hers, and I noticed hers is not so white. She used the same white dye on the same armor. I dyed mine the first day white dye came out, she dyed hers today, 2 days after White was introduced. Has white dye been dulled a bit?
The Blonde mesmer is using the dye from the first day it came out, the burnette is using the white dye of today.
Even in trade screen, her white seems to be duller than my armor. Has white dye been dulled down since the first day? Why is it like this?

Oh no wait, I actually dreamed that they'd upgrade storage in-line with having three chapters worth of equipment, armour, weapons, dye etc.etc.

It would appear so. I don't see why they would dull it though, white isn't supposed to be silver, it's supposed to be white.
Diablo???
That would suck, and needs to be fixed quick. Before people waste their 30k gold on less-than-white white dyes.
Malice Black
white dye was down to 17k when I sold one to dye trader half hour ago...price will continue to drop as well
Bladed Aatxe
Were your armors the same color before you dyed them? I didn't think the color of the armor had an affect when dyeing over with a different color. But now...after all the updates...who knows..
Katina
They weren't. My FoW was black before I dyed, hers was the grey. Her boots were black before she dyed them, yet they still come off duller than mine.
bebe
Did she have the same problem as you?
A.K.A. Her armor is duller than yours?
Or does she see it as your armor is duller than her?
If she sees it the opposite of yours then it is nothing.
You see other peoples armor details-shading differently than the person themselves.
It's just a graphic client-side things. x:

These are her screenshots taken from her computer
Still duller..

My dyes are not stacking either I have found about 3 or 4 since I have been playing and they all look the same but will not stack with my older dyes.

I like it duller, it's less eye-burning.
madman420
Honestly if their not standing right next to each other you won't even notice a difference. I agree with above poster though, the duller version looks better.
Malice Black
anyone notice the price difference somed yes have a value of 1g some have a value of 25g
unknown1
Ah... I hope A.Net fixes this soon -_- easy way they could do it if they are reading is to do a collectors to trade old color dyes to new ones =)
And hmm the "to dye for quest" gave dye worth 25g so that wont stack too =/

Why was this merged? This is a different issue than stacking dyes...
Rheemer
Has black dye always made the chaos axe transparent or is this a feature of the new update ?

I like the new options too.
The new colour schemes are terrible though!
A comparison:
dye screenie
(15k geo and 15k luxon)
That two armours look terrible with nearly any colour now.
Its all washed out...
And I dont seem to be able to mix a dye that is even remotely like the old mixtures.

Has anyone tried dying a chaos axe white to have a glowing black chaos axe???
Electric Sky
i like how the black dyes now actually dye the armour black and not the "light-black" it was back then........if you know what im talking about
