Dyeable costumes?

craybest

I was wondering a few days ago, why can't costumes be dyed at all? I see no reason why they couldn't be given dye channels just as armor. Even more the costumes that are actually just low level armor put together. I love some of the designs but the colors don't really fit what I want...
Is there any chance we would get dyeable costumes in the future? Do people even care about it or am I alone in this? XD

You are not alone.

Yes! I want this option sssooo bad. The ability to dye the corsetted riding outfit would make me sssooo happy!

Being unable to dye costumes is the reason why i purchased only few of them. This needs to happen!

I suspect they didn't implement it to sell us the reskins. Whilst I can't speak for every player, being able to dye costumes would make ME purchase more of them, usually I pass on some nice ones because their colours are not my taste.

Yes, they should be dyeable. I've refrained from buying some costumes because of the colour scheme, even though I like the look.

Plus there is just the basic desire to not look like every other person out there wearing pirate pants or Jungle Jane climbing clothes.

Dyeable costumes would make me very happy. The more customisation options we have, the better.

There arent any costume reskins in the crown shop tho. No, wait, I think there is one. But both armors are part of the same costume package so that doesnt really count.

I tend to believe the official story on this one - their spaghetti code doesnt let them implement it.

I'll just leave this right here.

Many of us want Dyable Costumes but there are some technical hurdles that prevent this. Here is a possible solution:

Just as we have Costumes of Existing Motifs, we should have Motifs for all non-polymorph costumes. All costumes that change what we wear (not what we are) should be available as a craftable items. Assign appropriate armor value to clothes and armors and allow players to create their own, mix and match, and dye these items.

Players could still buy costumes to change their look as they do now, but those that wear costumes can't dye their costumes. This is a choice the player has to make and that restriction should remain the same. If they want to wear awesome armor, but be wearing a wedding dress, then that wedding dress has to be white.

However, if a player wants to wear a heavy cuirass with a red wedding dress skirt and red/black jesters arms, they'll need the appropriate motifs.

TL/DR

In addition to costumes, ZOS should sell Costume Motifs so players can craft, dye, and mix and match pieces of costumes as much as they want.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
