KalinSword Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I love this idea! I cant tell you how many times I have fond an armor I like, but hate the colors on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xGuyotx Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 They have this in Lotro. I would like to see it here as well. Make creating the die a crafting skill. Different color recipes can be drops with variety of rarity. Great for the game economy, and the customization is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entilzha Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yea, something for Artificers to use their color crystals for (red/green/blue) to make the dyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littio Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I completely agree with this idea, bioware could make a lot off of selling dyes (or dye making skills/crafting techniques) from people wanting to personalize their armor even more. However i think people would abuse this if the items that you dye arent bound. Buy using a dye on the item then selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying-Brian Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 dyes I'd like this too... WITH restrictions. I don't want to see rainbow trooper armour. The rainbow trooper armor is already in the game. Don't use the match to chest option and taste the rainbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomyne Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The rainbow trooper armor is already in the game. Don't use the match to chest option and taste the rainbow. Not what i was refering to. If there was no restrictions, you'd see people with a single chest piece with as many colours as they can fit into it. Maybe a pink backing with blue arms, yellow hilights, purple neck piece... The horror. It can't be unimagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithilwen Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I completely agree with this idea, bioware could make a lot off of selling dyes (or dye making skills/crafting techniques) from people wanting to personalize their armor even more. However i think people would abuse this if the items that you dye arent bound. Buy using a dye on the item then selling it. Placing mods in armour binds it to you, using dyes could too. As for all the re skins, they generally have slightly different stats so other wouldn't make them obsolete! I would like to see dyes added too!

zerorsw Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I doubt this will happen. People keep requesting it but I still highly doubt it will EVER get implemented. They introduced the Color Unify system instead because they said they couldn't do Dyes in the first place. And I highly doubt that has changed.

DAWUSS Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Considering we have multiple recolors of identical armor pieces, what becomes of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loztchild Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I support this idea and also it would be nice if a crafting skill can make these dyes.Have the schematics sold on the CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagrevi Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'll mention the one concern I had over this idea in this thread as well. Alot of current gear differentiation is color based (you have the cool blue thing, not the cheap yellow version), and alot of the "aesthetic gameplay" available right now is experimenting with how certain chestpieces change the look of other items through the color unification system. (Why do you want to get that rated gear chestpiece? Because that will allow you to get that headpiece coloring you want, etc, etc - this is what alot of people spend alot of time in game doing). If they WERE to introduce any kind of color dying system, I would hope that it would be consistent with the existing systems in the game. (IE - I do not think a free-for-all dyeing system is a good idea.) This could be limiting color-dying only to a new type of modable gear, only giving players access to certain colors (perhaps very rare colors exist as some type of rare flashpoint drop), or only allowing "secondary" colors to be tweaked. Would some sort of dyeing system be good? It could be excellent - but it would need to have tons of limits. Its limits that make a game/toy fun (and keep us doing stuff in the game to achieve our aesthetic goals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoA Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'd love to see this idea, but have different tier dyes like colour crystals. LOTRO and Guildwars has them and they are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagrevi Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I summed up my concerns here (link), but I won't repost them as its a big post and I don't want to hijack the thread. Edited February 11, 2013 by Jagrevi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentJacen Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 dyes I'd like this too... WITH restrictions. I don't want to see rainbow trooper armour. I WANT RAINBOW TROOPER ARMOUR NOW!!!!! Anyways, I think they should be found at a vendor, on the cartel market, on the GTN (well, duh), and crafted using a new crafting skill, Painting/Dyeing.

Knockerz Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I doubt this will happen. People keep requesting it but I still highly doubt it will EVER get implemented. They introduced the Color Unify system instead because they said they couldn't do Dyes in the first place. And I highly doubt that has changed. Pretty sure they can make more money selling the armor and dyes kits instead of selling one piece of recolored armor. It's human nature people will like different colors. I suspect that BW is having a harder time selling certain piece of gear on cartel shop due to the color scheme not being liked while other pieces are sold more frequent.

Ithilwen Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Considering we have multiple recolors of identical armor pieces, what becomes of those? As i've said before, most of them have differences in stats, more endurance over willpower etc... Other's are not modable as compared to modable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutluck Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I think they could manage it. But it might need to be restricted to x number of colors. Or color combo's. But anything to add more variety would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senscith Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) The game isn't designed to handle textures that would allow for dyes. Take the Halo series for instance. Master Chief's real armor color is white in the textures. The game engine uses a custom texture or a different channel of the texture to tell the game where to paint while the game itself tells it what colors to paint it. SWTOR doesnt do that. All the texture variations are custom individual textures applied to the model. So that black chestplate has a black texture. It would have to have a white texture and a color by numbers texture to do something like dyes. Tl; dr Game assets and possible the engine are not designed to handle easily recolorable textures. Why is because someone somewhere didn't think things through. Edited February 13, 2013 by Senscith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithilwen Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I was under the impression that during the Beta they had dyes. At least that's what I heard from people in the Beta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
