Tyrian dye not equals Elona dye?

I found a strange issue with my dye collection. I used to collect lots of dye in Tyria and Cantha and store it in my storage. Now I got a drop of orange and purple in Elona, but for some reason I can't add them to my previously collected dyes, so now I have to start a new stack which takes more space in my storage

Is it a bug?

Are you sure, this just happened to me within the last couple of hours, and I haven't seen an update since I logged on this morning.

I can confirm that, as I initially wasn't able to stack old and new dyes, but now I can and have.

No they haven't fixed it!

Not two minutes ago I tried to add two newly acquired red & purple dyes from Elona to my stacks of red & purple dyes in Storage. They wouldn't stack, they just kept switching places. So I'd end up with the new purple in storage and a stack of 21 in my inventory and visa versa.

If it was fixed then the 3 blue dyes from today would be staked with the 24 vials of blue dye I have.

Kinda off topic, but I also cant stack my imperial Commendations. I got all of them off one character and put them in storage with all the other ones, and it wouldnt stack....wtf?

Only dyes I've gotten since the update have been brown so I cant check the dye stacking.

The same sort of thing has happened before, way back in the early days of Prophecies - some new items wouldn't stack with older ones. Some change on a programming/properties level made them appear to be different to storage.
In this case I assume that ANY new dye, wherever it's from (even new dye from Prophecies or Factions) won't stack with old dye.
One costly way around it would be to sell all your old dyes and buy new ones. Otherwise, just use up the old dyes first.

I'm sorry but we shouldn't have to. Canthan dye stacks with Tyrian dye without a problem. Just because they've altered the graphical image of dye for Elona shouldn't mean they don't stack. Anyway, existing Tyrian and Canthan gained dyes all look the same as the new Elonian drops, so why can't they make them stack?

obviously, with a new release over the weekend, there are a tons of things that can and will glitch. How much of a priority do you think dye stack is in that list?

Just make sure you post a comment directly to them on the website and give them time to get to the code.

Well they did fix it once already, so it must have some priority. The problem is its broken again, hell, i got 2 brown dies within an hour and they wouldn't stack.

iI have the same problem. Past two days I've gotten around 6-7 dye drops. My drops from Elona doesnt stack with my others. Got to in Tyria and they stacked no problem, later got three from Elona and went to add them but they just swapped places on me. So yeah whatever it is, its not fixed yet. Hope to see this one soon, storage is precious.

I have this problem too...i have hundreds of dyes, i've been trying to get 250 of one colour (so its a big collection) and now i cant stack newly dropped dyes!!! I'll never get my 250 dye pile if they dont fix this.

I also have the problem with Luxon Totems and imagine it affects other requisition items too.

I have 2 stacks of brown dye- one from Elona and the other from Tyria. Won't combine either. I had to look at the dye on my armour (btw, really liking that new dye preview panel- thanks Anet) just to make sure they were the same.

I'm sure it will be in an update down the road. For now, all Anet needs to do is double my storage capacity!
