I think weapon dying is a bit overdue.

Teridaxus

There are concept arts which shows dyeable areas on weapons and shields.
Shields are done and impleted already since there is only 1 per motif.

It's only a matter of time when it arrives.

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.

Two words: Eye cancer.

By that logic I can say that noone should be allowee to use a certan motif since I don't like it. Not a valid argument. Besides I can still color the rest of my gear in uggly colors...

ChrispyRambo

Yes please!

I have no problem with weapon dying.

Actually here on good ol earth in the days where Armor and weapons were used they were painted and dyed.

I just finished reading a scholarly article about the Vikings and how they would paint and dye their armor and swords all different colors, the predomant weapon color being black.


My wife wants purple daggers who knows what color some ores on Tamriel are?

I agree. Let us die... our weapons.

My Nightblade would look badass with a black and red dagger. :-)

Weapon dyeing makes so much sense... it does not break lore. On the live twitch they said they were having heated debates about it... whats to debate? hope it comes soon

This is what I said... WHY a 'heated debate' when the overwhelming MAJORITY of paying players want this added to the game?!? I've heard such straw-man arguments against it but let's face reality here... how is it possible that we can dye metal ARMOR, which is the same exact material as our weapons, but we cannot dye the weapons?!? It defies any form of logic... so if they say 'no' to weapon dying then the should have said no to metal armor dying too. Hence I cannot comprehend how this is even a discussion at ZOS, let alone a 'heated one'.

What is the counter argument occurring within ZOS? Is there a disgruntled employee in there that has something against logic and happiness?

Why can't you dye your bright red weapons yet? Please, it would fit so much better with your fully dyed armor or costume. Zenimax, when will you do this? Thank you.

Kind regards.

I imagine the heated debate is either on which colors should be allowed, or on how they can monetize it.

JimT722

I'm sure there will be weapon dyes. Color schemes applied like the dye stamps. Coming eventually to a crown crate! Wouldn't that be great!

TheShadowScout

I would not mind if weapons were limited to metallic colors on their "business parts", if people really get too scared of "death by pink sword"... but I really would apprechiate something like that, it isn't easy running around with bright red daggers when one wants to look nice and unassuming...

LrdRahvin

ZOS is too busy making Pacrooti their dealer peddling Crown Crack...ummmmm...errrrr...Crown Crates to gambling addicts to do weapon dyeing,

KramUzibra

I can't believe costume dying made it live before weapon dying

Caligamy_ESO

Nice necro, but in regards to the topic.. if they do add it I imagine it will be so subtle and hardly noticeable, like most of the shield dyes..

This is my Raifu

KramUzibra

Why is this not yet a thing!?

CardboardedBox

I've been hearing people ask for this nonstop for the longest time. And it always has the same two responses following it-

-because we don't want people using pink weapons

Followed by-

-but you can make pink armor. And nobody even does anyway.

Overall its completely pointless to not make something thats so obviously wanted, just because of the color pink....Many many people, myself included, just want to have normal metal colored weapons.

NewBlacksmurf

Shouldn't ever be added.

It's better to adjust so that the artwork associated with materials can be changed or designated from crafting

Just make the mats wood, metal

Simpler that adds a lot more options that ppl also want

Because necromancy never pays.

Also because bright red weapons are apparently less aesthetically offensive than pink ones.

MasterSpatula

Weapon dying is so overdue that I think it's time we contacted a Collections Agency.

DMuehlhausen

I think I would rather have them put in cosmetic slots over weapon dying. Just let us carry lvl 2 daggers there and that is what people see if you want.

The only real issue with this is in PvP as you won't be able to tell what people are wearing so maybe turn the feature off there.

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.

...which is such a stupid thing to say as a game creator. It's only a matter of time until weapon dying comes. I personally think they have zero good/acceptable excuses for not including it when shields and armor became dyable. I'm pretty sure they just ran out of time and threw it out the window as less a priority at the time. Now we are stuck with everyone running around with perfectly colored and unique armor, but all with ugly @ss red weapons.

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?

How about motifs for all gear? Weapon dying? Really? We spend money on motifs that cant be used on the gear we use most and you're more worried about coloring your weapons? Wow... just wow.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Agreed. I'm sick of dyeing my armor/costumes to match the red weapons. I'm sick of red!!!
