I think weapon dying is a bit overdue.

Strider_Roshin

The reason why we didn't get weapon dying oh so long ago is because Paul Sage stated that he didn't want to see people with pink swords running around. Well with Rubedite being the material we use for weapons we are now all running around with red weapons, and in some cases the weapon it quiver looks pink. So can we have weapon dying now so I can have a normal looking weapon and a quiver that isn't red or pink?

ADarklore

I agree!! I thought they said previously that it was in the works, as they added the ability to dye shields... weapons (hopefully) isn't too far behind.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Jessica, is there any update on this topic?

bedlom

Agreed.

Digiman

In b4 dying to a guy with pink daggers.

They mentioned it was in the works? That's good to know. Do you have a source by any chance?

That's the thing, we're all dying to guys with pink daggers now. It is literally the current meta, and has been that way for almost a year.

Big agree here. I find the Rubedite material repulsive esthetically. I have a mace on one of my characters that makes it look like I'm bashing enemies on the head with a Christmas Tree ornament.

Vaoh

It is so simple. PLEASE ADD THIS!!

You can make it so easy ZOS. Remember how the base material and improvement level of a weapon changes its colors? Just provide a new option in the crafting menus so you can:
• Spend 10 of a base material (ex, Quicksilver Ingot) to change any level item to look like it would if made of that material.
• Spend 1 of an improvement material to give it that slight color change (aka a Green item is colored slightly different from a Gold item).

Done. Community happy!

Recremen

Everyone agrees. Everyone who likes fun, anyway.

Indeed, the reason is the actual opposite of what 'Digiman' suggests. But trolls will be trolls I suppose.
I'm looking forward to the addition, it will be subtle but I think will be a nice addition to the game.

DaveMoeDee

I have to admit, I never noticed that the weapons were pink. I really am oblivious to gear.

Molag_Crow

True. I see weapon dyes on the horizon after costume dyes.

DaveMoeDee

I want spell dyes. I'm tired of red fire. I would like to change it to purple.

Gidorick

By the divines YES!!!

We should get THIS before costume dying!!

Paul Sage was ignorant.

Pink for girls only became a trend in the 1920's and 1930's and only became a social norm by the post-war 1950's.

Use the colors you like, not the colors that have been aggressively marketed with labels attached to them to sell something new. Chances are the only people who hate it are ignorant themselves.

Lol I don't think that's what he was getting at. However on a side note, the color pink doesn't actually exist. It's actually just what our minds perceive in the absence of green. Might as well call pink -green

Technically, magenta is the 'anti-green'

But light and pigment are two different things. To get a pink pigment, you either add small amounts of red pigment to white pigment, or you add a lot of white pigment to red pigment. Either way, you're interpreting it as a very diluted red.

On the pigment side, you're mixing chaotically, in contrast to the order of the light spectrum. On the light side, the white is reflecting all colors, including a lot of the red. Same would apply to all colors. You get lighter, derivative shades of the base color.

So, no, pink doesn't exist in its own unaltered form. But you can still create it from red without using purple.

Garethjolnir

I agree with this. I don't see any logical argument against it, seeing as we can dye armour.

greylox

Indeed, my red axe is jarring, it needs to be black or silver.

Oh mi God yes!!!

Softpad

The only hold up I can see from this is how it would, our could affect game play with special effects.
I.e. A white weapon when someone casts rally, a red weapon when a nightblade uses focus.
It would be really hard to notice.
I still want the colours dyes though XD

Epona222

Agreed, I'd actually be happy enough with it being restricted to a range of metallic colours- but I know there are a lot of people not happy with the red/pink natural colour of rubedite weapons.

Softpad

True, and they don't necessarily need to have three dyes to the weapon.
My marksman leg item set piece only has two dye options

Or they could make it so regardless of what color you use it will look metalic. Restricting colors because a few people can't stand others having fun is stupid. If I decide to have a pink sword it won't affect you in any way. (Not that I would, I'd use dark blue/black for my weapon) but people should be able to use any color they want

olsborg

yes its overdue af

This is true :-)

I really want and hope for it but it isn't the end of the world for me personally.

A lot of the top level weapons are red in-game already.





Or in some cases they're red and green . Definitely feels like you're fighting with Christmas ornaments as @dodgehopper_ESO said above.

I love when I read opinions regarding what some find offensive to them.

I think they tend to forget that others also have just as much a right to judge as they. What you find acceptable, others may find offensive to them, and vice versa.

This is why doing so is a slippery slope. Live and let live, be and let be.
