[BUG] Dyes being granted by error

Lionxoft

The Grand Overlord was one that I had noticed being granted but not earned. In addition, a guildmate claimed the Emperor dye but has never been crowned.

Thanks for the heads up, @Lionxoft. We'll dig into this now.

edit: Hey @Lionxoft, just to make sure we're on the same page, if you've completed the achievement on any character, then you'll have the associated dye on all characters (dyes are account wide). Could this be what's happening?

Nope, I have Grand Overlord granted to me as well and haven't earned it on any character for that PVP rank.

I also have Aurora Green earned and should have it, but it isn't being granted to me by the game (Aetherian Archive in under 33 minutes, I have a 13min run on my Nightblade but it hasn't unlocked the dye).

ZOS_GinaBruno

Ok, thanks for the info, Attorney!

I'm missing several dyes and I have had some achievments taken away from me. I have all the Rare style books learned but it's saying I only have imperial. (yet I can craft with all of them). In addition it's saying there's a new style called "Reach". What is going on?

It also sent me the 20,000g via mail from the achievement.

Edit: feel free to remove the mail or get in touch to fix it. I don't want any hand outs that aren't deserved.

Edit 2: Seems that it might have been end of campaign rewards. Disregard. Thanks though!

I'm reasonably certain no one in the game has attained Grand Overlord rank yet. But I have the dye unlocked as well

Reach is Barbaric. There are a few instances where the word Reach or Reachmen is used instead of Barbaric.
For example, if you run any addons which identify traits on items it will use the word Reach instead of Barbaric.

I am getting the Covenant Fisherman Dye although I have caught maybe three or four fish total in Covenant territory.

Dekkameron

I noticed i had the "Master Fisherman" dye achievement yet i have never even held a fishing rod.

Epona222

I have the dye for having a level 50 character unlocked on the US server - my highest level character on that server is level 24.

Also on the same server, I have one called something like Master Adventurer unlocked (it's a purple dye, something to do with dungeon achievements), I certainly haven't done that. And Spriggan Green which is for getting the achievement for killing nature creatures. Nope, I'm miles away from getting that.

I haven't checked the EU server yet.

I have all the rare motifs BUT Imperial, and for me it's saying I have none of them.

I also have the fishing achievement but have never managed to catch a single rare fish.

I have about five dyes unlocked that I didn't even remotely get close to unlocking. Even a PvP one, and I haven't even gone into PvP yet.

I'm going to make the stretch and say that most players have these bugged achievements and dyes unlocked for them that they haven't earned as a result of that. ZeniMax should look into fixing this for everyone at this point, and I'm hoping these issues get fixed soon.

It's v1.1.X and its achievement bugs all over again.

Epona222

Right I have now checked the EU server and I have the following dyes that I should not have access to (no character has got the achievements):

Spriggan Green - Nature Collector Achievement
Captain's Violet - Alliance War Captain Achievement
Tombstone Gray - Dungeon Damage Dispenser Achievement

I should have access to all the dyes in the Recipe Card line of achievements, but like other people, the achievement is only registering 6 recipes learned even though I have learned over 160 on my provisioner. This cannot be repeated, so the achievement needs to be fixed and the dyes unlocked for those who already learned the appropriate numbers of recipes.

Hope this info helps Zenimax to sort it out!

Dyes are account bound? I have one master crafter on the same account as another toon who doesn't have the dye's available. Also on another account I have the warlord dye available but none of my char's are warlords.

Lord_Draevan

Same for me, I have access to the "Warlord's Red" dye despite the fact my highest ranked character is only Sergeant.

R1ckyDaMan

I got the master fisher slaughterfish pink dye even though i have never fished.

In order for characters to access dyes earned by a another character, you must log in that other character to activate the dyes it's earned first.

This is a good feature to have. Otherwise characters would just transfer their gear to the ones who have the achievements in order to dye it, then transfer it back. (Since gear is account bound, not character bound.) This saves us the headaches of doing those extra steps.

Mix

Here is my list, no characters on my account have earned any of the following achievements but I have access to the dyes.

Complete all Speed Challenges = Akatosh's Scales Gold
Alliance War General = Centurion Metal
Dungeon Lord = Boss Butcher Brown
Vampirism = Noxophilic Black

Also, not certain which achievement Explorer Green is linked to since "view achievement" just opens whichever achievement screen you had open last.

traigusb14_ESO2

I have 3 I know of at the momeont

Complete all Speed Challenges = Akatosh's Scales Gold
Vampirism = Noxophilic Black
Master Fisherman = Some kind of Pink


Not close to having any of them on any character.

The pink is Slaughterfish Flesh Pink.

I also got the Emperor Red even though I never held the crown.

SirenofEntropy

I also have 3 or 4 dyes unlocked that are linked to achievements that no character on my account has earned. I had initially assumed this was intentional on the dev's part - giving a few random colors to every account so they'd have some stuff to start out with. But by the sound of this thread, maybe it wasn't intentional at all.

Ah well, I'll just keep enjoying my illegitimately obtained Warlord Red until they fix it. ;P

alsonotan0rc

I also have at least 2 dyes I shouldn't, one the slaughterfish flesh pink and the other warlord red. Those are the only ones I've noticed but I haven't examined the list closely. I did notice there are several dyes supposed to be unlocked by crafting (decon, rune translation, refining) that I should have but don't.

Romo

Isn't the slaughter fish achievement for dieing to a slaughter fish?

The color Slaughterfish Flesh Pink is awarded for the Master Fisherman achievement.

BCBasher

I see Mondays patch will be removing ones some people got in error. I'm missing a bunch (or credit leading to) for at least crafting deconstruction, refining, public dungeons, and killing named dungeon bosses.

HeroOfEvbof

I guarantee that we will have to re-earn the decon and refining acheivements. Those actions have never been tracked before. The acheivements did not exist and I have never ever seen anything to indicate that the actions were being tracked.
I dont know if the named dungeon bosses are bugged, but I do know that three dungeon acheivements did not exist before 1.2.3. If you havent gone into Bad Man's, Obsidian or Bonesnap this month, then you will not have those acheivements. Other dungeon boss acheivements were broken prior to 1.2.3 so those too would have had to be done during July otherwise we wouldnt have them.

LunaRae

I'm hardcore jelly my friend got the emporer red unlocked from this bug. That red looks incredible.

Korozenn

All I'm going to say is that ZeniMax should be very glad that they made dyes account-bound.
