WEAPON DYES! We've waited and waited... Shields only? Really?

BloodWolfe

No. Don't add Weapon Dyes to the game.

I voted no because in games that have done this, the weapons look cheesey as F*** and beyond terrible so I'd rather not see this to be honest. Pink staves, purple swords, orange maces, etc... Just doesn't fit. Dyed weapons always end up looking ridiculous!

Maybe I am wrong and maybe some of the higher end weapons already look ridiculous (that I haven't seen) and need to be dyed to look good? I dunno, but my experience they tend to look ridiculous once dyed.

So tell me what your thoughts are on the pink robes, purple armor look right now? People run around all the time in Bright colorful armor looking like they went to a paint festival... its a fantasy game, I mean are the candy apple red weapons which are pink in some cases depending on the style of weapon, those increase the realism you're looking for?

And why does it matter what anyone else other then you would do with the option to dye? It's there choice if they'd want pink, blue, or orange Dye on their weapons just like it is already the case with armor... I don’t see the argument because its already lost in so many other cases and the weapons we already do have are the bright red/pink so I'm miffed.

I think there are much more critical things even in the cosmetic side that should be added first. A vote for something is always de facto a vote to delay or cancel something else and the weapon dye is to me way way way bell's
Hiding shoulders option
More functional elements for housing
More ability skins
Significant changes to equip crafting
And many more potent improvements.

I must have pink daggers! That way when I shank someone in Cyrodil, they'll be like, "Did that crazy Khajiit just shank me...with pink daggers?!" It'll be epic.

There will always be something more "critical" that needs attention, so no lets not keep us waiting, we've been waiting 3 years already.

Yeah I mean if we are goin off of how long we've been waiting for specific additions to the game for customization, Weapon Dying has been on the list the longest and probably wanted by most players who play ESO, minus those sticklers you come across now and then...

yes yes it's lots of textures to go over but c'mon zos, it's not just content updates that make people happy, you can dedicate some resources to this @ZOS_GinaBruno look what the community wants, and tell the devs

ZOS has been tagged quite a few times in this thread I'm really hoping for some sort of feedback from them, there's no way they are using the same excuse for not doing the weapon dye system because the idea that it defeats realism is complete nonsense when they've allowed people to wear full color spectrum armor, someone running around looking like a pepto bismol bottle... @ZOS_GinaBruno please some response from any of you would be greatly appreciated...

I think for now weapon dyes would rock, but they could even add custom outfits in our collections tab where we can change our appearance to whatever styles you have discovered thus far and save it to a custom outfit. that'd be awesome, but that's a bit more hefty then just adding the color templet so we have the ability to dye weapons, but custom outfits or "Transmog" would be awesome indeed.

I mean, Maybe he should dumb it down just for you.. But I think what he's getting at is the fact people complain about the possible outrageous colors people may use, where we already are stuck with candy apple red... People are rocking there full suite of armor dyed pepto pink or sunkist orange, soooooo that's the point, saying the ability to dye weapons different colors then what we already have because it would be unrealistic is an oxymoron...

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

Yes, they do, on the same way that armor and shields had before they could be dyed: They depend on material.

Pic for reference showing the three areas that would be affected by dyeing:

@Abeille

We are saying the same thing. Your context is better tho

I don't think we are saying the same thing. You said that shields and armor already had dyes before dyeing them was possible and that's not the case with weapons. I'm saying that it is the case with weapons. They too have dyes, we just can't change it, it is the same case armor and shields were in prior to dyes being added.

Yes, weapons already have color palettes. For example:

An Iron Imperial Greatsword is a different color than an Orichalcum Imperial Greatsword. They are literally the same base weapon model though, just differ in color. Weapons generally only have three model variations in each motif, but many many material options (ie: colors).

Exactly.
Months ago, during an ESO Live, they said that weapon dyeing caused many heated discussions among the dev team.
There are two things that are connected to weapon dyeing that I can see causing them to argue: Which colors will be available and how they will monetize it.

Given the recent issue with subscribers feeling that their subscription lost value now that we will get a max of 3 DLCs a year instead of four, since the Expansions took the slot for the Q2 DLC, I can see it being added as an ESO+ perk like costume dyeing.

From another poll that was created by AIMcFly with a cool idea of what areas of weapons would be changeable for Dye.

I don't understand when people say "no" because they want to prioritize different things even though they aren't actually saying "no" to weapon dying. Saying that you want weapon dying added doesn't mean you think it's more important than other features/should be added or prioritized over other features???? what kind of way of thinking is that LOL

Tavore1138

No. Don't add Weapon Dyes to the game.

Actually I don't care at all but there are probably better things for the devs to be doing - windows to brick up, seaweed to be removed and so on - so I will go 'no'.

Can't imagine dyeing weapons would do them much good - but since we're in a fantasy world I guess that really doesn't matter...

This is the world of talking snake people and now you want to ruin it with colored weapons.(rolling eyes)

The "NO" peeps are most likely kids who have never even experienced reality.
When you raise two kids and put them through college, then we can talk about reality.

If your sole purpose for playing this game is to pretend it is reality, you are in dire need of a break or a life.

There will ALWAYS be more important things for the devs to be working on. Anything that has to do with maintenance or bug fixing I think should take priority over any game content, but for real, hows their maintenance team and coding team doing right now with fixing all the problems ESO is littered with, and we still got an expansion to further litter the game with more issues...

So sure, more important things then this for the devs to be doing, but they aren’t doing them. Don’t even try to tell me they are because i will give you example after example of bugs we are still dealing with that are a thorn in the *** right now even still. Its fact that most of their due diligence is being put into a lush and flawless running Crown Store which is their main source of revenue. At least sate our frustration with some content we've been wanting for the last 3 years.

Do you honestly think adding Weapon Dyes would delay Hair Dyes, or any other feature really for very long? Do you think weapon dyes and hair dyes are mutually exclusive? Do you think we can only have one, but not both?

I don't even think ZOS is working on many new "features" at the moment, they're just polishing the next patch's dungeons, and trying to keep their servers from exploding.

Vipstaakki wrote: »

If you want realism, stop playing videogames. Even Madden 2017 and Truck Simulator have unrealistic elements. Elder Scrolls Online has players fighting in Nordic Bath Towels and current endgame weapons are made out of a fantasy red ore. I'm sorry to say that you are the one that isn't being very realistic with your expectations.

Sure, I would like ZOS to fix their servers, and make PvP a delightful experience. I also want weapon dyes, considering we can dye EVERY other piece we are wearing except weapons. It is perfectly acceptable to ask for both. If they have time to develop new content, they have time to polish their already existing game.
