Please let us dye the cape on the new elven hero! (Jan 2025 golden pursuit)

xclassgaming · January 21

So a hour ago i completed my golden pursuit really excited to get the costume i dye it and....the cape no matter what you use; its always gray. This is incredibly frustrating in a overall great costume, please zos; make the cape dyeable like all the other fabric on the costume! Thanks.

Agreed, adding the cape to the secondary dye channel would be nice

Additionally, why the heck does it cut my character's bust size in half? It's funny because the old one doubled it, but still weird.

EDIT: It actually doesn't reduce the bust size but it's layered in a manner that is not just skintight but practically on the skin itself, so it is -extremely close- to default "naked" model, unlike most outfits/costumes that add onto your model.

think it'd look better on the 3rd one personally as the white is the closest to the grey of the cloak

I agree yo.

I do wish they would make it so everything on a costume can be dyed.

Doesn’t the new Nord Hero outfit have an undyable cape element too? Undyable elements like this that you have to work around sadden me. 🙁

It does' but i didn't know until about half an hour ago when someone on dicord pointed it out to me; i wasn't playing when it came out so i didn't get it and know o.o

either way that SHOULD ALSO be fixed.

yeah, i agree

I agree. That grey color just does not match anything other than grey.

Noooooo ZOS why you troll us????? We have asked for capes for soooooo long. And now you give us one but we can't make it anything other than grey.
This is like the sorc matriach reskin. We wait soooo long for a reskin, and instead of a proper one (where you can make the flapper smaller, less ugly) all we get is a glowy red one for a ridiculous price.

Yes please.

I'd argue for more consistency in dyeing in general. Blocking channels, making colours inconsistent across channels/pieces, or making certain colours of an outfit un-dyable feels inconsistent with designing for creative expression.

Its frustrating to have some amazing colour scheme or "feel" in your mind, and then when you hit the dye station discover that you can't do it, even though there doesn't seem to be any reason to block it. We buy costumes with real money, or grind for colours and style pages to pull off some cool idea. It feels crap to discover you just can't, no reason.

I was SO looking forward to using this costume, but since all we see is the back of our characters, all I'll see is that ugly, un-dyeable, grey cloak. I'll never use it now. I guess it will just end up as wasted space in my costume collection.

Is it because the cape is 10 years old? Ripped and greyed out? Lol

We should be able to dye them!

The whole costume is Hideous especially the golden crotch flap.

I'm using the original version of the costume on my main, and have to say I much prefer it to the new version when I've previewed it. That ripped cape is really not a good addition...

the flap is dyable though

I also made a post asking to allow us to recolor the "cape", but after reviewing the costume in game on my toon I would like to amend that and ask for ability to remove it completely. To me it looks like used bandages, poorly washed and hung to dry on the back of my character for some reason.
