Dye Weapons with Morrowind?

I do want to be able to use the artwork from other materials and that changes the color and look on weapons more realistically IMO

Agreeing with @NewBlacksmurf I want to have the ability to change the colour of my weapons, however I want them to do this right and limit the colours per area correctly. I believe they said it on ESO Live when this was discussed #NoPinkSwords

Cously

YES

We already have fat male orcs running around in neon green wedding dresses, it doesn't get worse than that.

Please no,. What next horse dye?

^This. To add: We've got half-naked characters running around in bath towels. We've got characters sporting weird goggles and cooking pots on their heads. ZOS's original statements when the game launched implied their desire to keep ridiculousness out of their game. Over the past two years, their actions no longer match those original words. The ridiculous is now here stay.

SO to those 5 people who say they don't want the ability to dye weapons. We ALREADY are able to dye armor and shields. Dying weapons crosses the line for you?

@AlMcFly

1. Armor and shields already had dyes prior to it being added. We just couldn't change it.
2. Weapons however, don't already have dyes so, to me it's a big different thing but I also don't believe that random colors are better than actual materials

That's, actually, not true.

Weapons already have a non-customizable dye system in place. A weapon's primary color is determined by the weapon's tier. So, for swords, this would be the blade. It's secondary and tertiary colors are affected by the quality of the item (white, green, blue, purple, and gold). A pair of rubidite frostcaller daggers, where one has been upgraded to purple, and the other to gold will have different colors (the handle on the legendary will be an off-white, while the purple's will be a light brown). A pair of iron Breton swords where one's white, and one's blue will have visible changes in the cross guard (the white one's guard will appear to be iron, while the blue one's will be gold or brass). A really obvious one used to be ancient elf swords. If they were upgraded to blue, the blade would take on a pale blue, almost stalhrim, coloration, while at green, purple, and gold, the blade was varying shades of green. A white one would have a pale white blade.

The material is also simply a color channel. You can see this most readily when you're comparing weapons from motifs that don't change. An iron thieves guild dagger will have a pale gray blade, while a rubidite one will be vivid red. This is just a dye effect, and is not hard locked. This also applies to the classic motifs. There's no way to see a dwarven colored iron sword, but you can check any of the unified endgame styles, Dwarven and higher. So an Ebony and Rubidite weapon will use the same visuals, and are only differentiated by how the blade has been dyed by the game.

Well, if they're CR50 or so, they get pink weapons. So, yes, it does, as the game exists now.

This has needed to happen for a long time... Like since shields became dye-able, weapons should have too.

patrykplawskib16_ESO

YES

This has to happen, I can't take it anymore that every time I try to use a different dye set up for my Armour the "RED WEAPON" just throws it off so much. Example I wanna use a blue, gold/yellow, and black but than you have that huge red staff just killing the vibe. Please ZOS add this already it has been way overdue now and I don't care if your lazy just start doing it and get it over with and done.

AKA Zos, we need this.. now. No one will be mad.

However, most people vote yes... in ZoS language: Yes means no, and no means yes. Remember crown crates? We all said no: so we get them. Sooooo many examples of this.

In the case of the Crown Crates, I feel ZOS just made an executive decision, and didn't care about player input on them. To be clear, ZOS probably cares about players, but you CANNOT ignore the monetary boon RNG crates have statistically been proven to bring to company revenue. Despite the massive backlash, the revenue is undeniable.

Weapon dyes won't have such a drastic revenue affect, but it will ad a HUGE quality of life feature. It won't be a favor if they implement it though. It's something that SHOULD have already been in the game with armor and shield dying.

Yeah, I wish that ZOS had kept to that. There was plenty of room to play without going over the top and into silly. The Dro-m'Athra stuff is probably the worst offender. The Storm Atronach stuff is up there, too, but the low drop rate, plus the apparent lack of traction for Crown Crates, keeps them more rare. At least, I rarely see them when I play. Maybe they are more popular where I am not.

It is not that simple. When the players agree with them, party for everyone. When the players don't agree with them, party for them. Either way, they do what they want. Eventually, the complaining in the forum will go away. Some of the people go away, too.

Plagues and pestilence, earthquakes and volcanoes, could not have prevented Crown Crates. Who ever it was inside Bethesda or ZOS that was championing these would have braved death and dismemberment to push the button that launched them. I think that any employee who voiced disapproval would have been shown the exit. They were that important.

Hopefully, weapon dyes will be an ESO Plus benefit. I am on the fence as to whether they should allow Crown Dye Packs to work. My thought is that weapon dyes are a top premium feature, and will likely have fewer customizable color channels. Maybe just one, for some weapons. The existing dye packs might not be appropriate. They could save themselves a bundle of development expense by giving it to ESO Plus and not putting weapon dye packs in the Crown Store.

I will not be truly happy with this game until I can make my Trinimac staff look like a *** colour wise

Loads of them, actually. It'd be nice to be able to redye those into something more, "realistic."

Vanthras79

@ZOS_GinaBruno can you please forward this thread, and any similar threads, to the lead systems designer? There is a genuine consensus of no more red/pink weapons.

Arciris

Anything to get rid of rubedite

We already have pink swords. All of us above 160 cp

Now that the huge wave of Homestead complaint threads have mellowed out, I figured it's time to bump this thread for anyone who hasn't contributed a vote. Please leave a comment as well in order to keep this close to the front page of the forums. If this topic isn't constantly talked about, no one at ZOS will care about it.

Thanks.

mrfrontman

YES

We definitely need this feature. It should have been a feature available from the very beginning. Ability to dye our weapons is a must! I really want to change the colour of my VMA staff!

KochDerDamonen

YES

Yesssss.

No more pink daggers

No more christmas tree staves



No moooooooooooore (unless one intends them to be! I certainly won't!)

Ages ago, when the game was under a different lead design, and his reasoning was that pink swords aren't manly. Well guess what! OUR SWORDS ARE ALREADY PINK!*

Stop this. I love how the same people who say that dyeing swords is unrealistic or hard for ZOS to implement are totally willing to advocate for a needlessly more complicated system involving swapping to other metals and only using pre-existing appearances in the game.

Couldn't be any worse than forced rubedite.

Beacause the game is in a perfect state and they have nothing else to do.

shadelon

NO

Honestly i don't understand this. We really don't need bloody rainbow coloured swords. That's just ridiculous and immersion breaking. Worst idea ever imo.

KanedaSyndrome

YES

Pretty tired of my bow being red. Limits the color schemes I can dye my armor in.

Tell that to the existing red, purple and rose tinted swords that I can't dye to look like steel.

Sweetpea704

YES

I hate that all my weapons are red.

twev

YES

I'd rather be able to craft high level armor that looks like (my choice of) low level armor.

And make the shoulder flaps, hip flaps, and diapers invisible.
