Sunspire motif missing dye channel

MLGProPlayer

The upcoming Sunspire motif has a missing dye channel. The laces and the mesh on the shoes are not part of any of the dye channels and stay red all the time (see screenshot).



It would be nice if we could dye these as the motif is otherwise fantastic.

Post this on the BUGs section, not here.

Same issue with Anequina motif, parts remain a dull tan colour (including the crescent moon design) which is just awfully silly and limiting.

Any news on when will this drop in game (not CS)? I'm holding onto a lot of trash SS gear just waiting to decon it.

ZOS confirmed it'll drop the same day as in the CS (Sept 18).

Had to raise the bug twice during Beta and release of Elswyer to get noticed.
Pelletine also has issues with the feet colours and also found 2 bugs with some other "older" motif.

However due to that bug, I do not have to wear stupid belt buckles over the nice leather belt the Breton 4 heavy armour comes with

And I will never ever report that bug

Pretty sure this is intended. All the laces/cords on all pieces (not just shoes) are always red and undyeable.

They designed the style for 4 dye channels, but the game only supports 3.

Permanent colours on motifs render the entire motif useless for a lot of players. And that's not what you want, especially when you're selling the motif in the crown store too.

I mentioned this during the last PTS as well.
I would really like to see this updated so the red cords can be dyed, or if they will remain undyeable, at least make them a neutral color instead of red...

I'm pretty sure you get the style mats now.

The Dragon Bone style also has an undyeable channel that looks like a white/gray metal

People buy these motifs with the expectation that they can dye them in their entirety.

I can understand different surfaces dying differently, as that's a technical limitation. But there is no excuse for entire parts of a motif not being dyeable. Literally half the shoe can't be dyed with this motif.

I agree completely. The huge undyeable metal plates on the Dragon Bone armor makes it pretty much unusable with darker color palettes. The plates are large and prominent.

At least 3 of the Elsweyr armor styles have this issue and it sucks. They are so beautifully designed, but often useless due to this dye problem.

This is the Dragon Bone style dyed with Coldharbour Ash black and Sigil Orange. All the dull white silver plate areas are undyeable, along with the tan colored mail under the shoulders.

They should just create 4 dye channels if all of their new motifs are going to be like this. The fourth dye channel would only be active if the style has a 4th channel (just like we do right now with styles that have 1, 2, or 3 channels).
