    Yeah, purple is not my favourite colour, at least with the armour we can dye it, weapons on the other hand we can't, and who wants a purple greatsword.

    The infamous Purple Marauder would want such a sword, obviously! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

    Still, the only reason I have heard repeated times against weapon color coszomization is "Oh, noes, some silly people will make themselves neon pink swords". Which could very easily be taken care of by limiting blade (and other metal bits) to metal dyes...

    We have chosen guild colors that are similar to our tabard, coventant blue, a steel blue and evermore gold. The puke purple shield and sword do not match.

    Come on ZOS, let us dye our weapons and shield, this is just silly. You probably already have the code to do it :'(

    Well ... pink can be used for immersion purposes. I had a character who, in terms of how I role-played my characters, got a mage pissed off at her. The mage's vengeance (as role played) was to turn my character's armor pink. So I "wore" pink armor for ... oh it must have been a week. And I knew that people would be thinking "oh what a dorky look" so my character was quite defensive about it.

    I paid attention and when I noted other in-game character staring, I would whisper them and say that it wasn't me - my mage/sort of in-law by clan, was pissed at me. Sometimes I'd ask if they had a solution. It made for some fun immersion.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Eh, methinks the shield dyes at least should have been part of the dye system from the very beginning. So I really hope they'll add it some update without making it extra DLC...

    Good point. Shield dyes (and for that matter some form of Tabard/Livery) is reasonably historically accurate and would seem to improve immersion.

    Yes it would be nice to decorate your shield and weapons. They don't want pink swords easy fix don't add the color lol just add metallic colors. It would be nice to have a blade or axe that actually looks like metal. Shiny steal a cobalt blue black a metallic green etc.
    Not to mention be nice if we could get more then one racial look for out armor and weapons perhaps a way for us when crafting to choose three or four styles of them same race not have the looks be determined by metal used.

    Agreed. There should be no restrictions to weapons, as if a pink dagger is somehow so much more ridiculous than our current options for armor.

    I just want shield dyes. Weapons are generally slim and not as noticeable...shields are big and bulky and can ruin a nice matching outfit.

    I would take weapon dyes too, I don't care if people have pink swords.I just want shield dyes more/soon.

    I'm not as concerned with weapons.

    +1 here, this will also unify guilds which only adds to the gaming experience of the open world environment.
