Before I even post anything else I just want to state that I love the game and I think zenimax has been doing an amazing job with their updates and bug fixes.
The amount of effort that you guys are putting in to ensuring this game last staggering. I have played MMO since 2003 and I've never been a part of a community that has a development team that does as much work as you guys do.
You guys have delivered on your promise to put out content updates every 4 to 6 weeks like most people thought you weren't going to be able to do.
I have been enjoying every aspect of your game from the questing to the exploration of the upcoming things likes spell crafting and the new armor dyes that we just got.
Which leads me to my topic. I am wondering if it was just an oversight or an unforeseen occurrence that loud the armor, shields and swords to change to colored hues instead of their metallic counterparts.
I have heard people state in the forums that shields are considered weapons. This statement is false the shield is an armor attachment. The reasoning behind people believing the shield as a weapon is because you can bash with it and do damage just because a piece of armor can be offensive does not mean it's not armor. With that same notion then if I take off my sword and shield and punch with my heavy gloves does that make them weapons instead of armor?
This patch was supposed to allow us to die armor. Which makes me wonder if it was just an oversight that shields were forgotten. And if so the community really deserves to know when Shields will be implemented in the armor dye system.
For a game with Hi-Rez next-generation graphics and strong ties in the role-play lore and presentation. The fact that all tanks will now have to be running around with mixed match gear really breaks the whole immersion that Elder scrolls has always stood for.
Don't give me wrong I'm not trying to flame. Don't miss read this I'm not upset with the game. I hope this is something that's the top of the priority list to be corrected and fixed and hopefully get within the next week or two.
Thank you for all of your time and effort and continue to do an amazing job with one of the best and MMO's I've ever played, and I have played them all.

✭The Dev's have already posted on a few requests like this. They are adding dyes to shield in a future patch. Shields are classed as Armor & a Weapon, so they fall into a special class, but will be changed to allow dyes to be applied but I don't think we will see it before patch 1.4Edited by Natjur on August 6, 2014 9:44PM
