((This is a repost from the feedback and suggestions in the PTS forum. I realized it was wrongly put, as this thing is not on the PTS, so I'm now throwing it in here, in the general discussion tab.))

Greetings!

Here is a tiny suggestion, as it is really annoying to be forced to grind PvP for months, if not more than a year to ever see the light of the Legate's black, which currently comes the closet to the awesome black worn by the Daedra roaming Tamriel.

That is why I would very happily suggest for a "Daedric Black" colour to be introduced, which could be earned through completing all Dark Anchors achievements. Which means if one has maxed out the Dark Anchors achievements, they can now dress up as a perfect looking Daedra Warrior/Assassin/Necromancer outfit wise.

The black colour should essentially be 100% identical to the one which almost all Daedra has upon their armor, like this:

Here is a small comparison shot, both are captured in cyrodiil at the same time with the same angle, so the light is 100% the same.

Please Zenimax, make this a thing so we aren't forced to go with the brownish-black from Coldharbour ash black, and instead get a real black colour from something meaningful and worthwhile, like having completed all Dark Anchors achievements.

As an additional note, if anyone have attained "Legate's Black" , then I would be extremely happy if you willingly would be up for a quick "Photo shoot" to compare the three colours side by side ingame.

    You're asking or telling ? There's many other ways to reward achievements . Titles . A frivolous piece of armor . Trophy ... Saying I can't wash my cloths a different color seems a little meh .

    Coldharbour ash black is fine for me.

    I'm a warrior, not a clotheshorse :)

    They naturally should not change Coldharbour Ash Black! I'm just merely asking for a proper Black colour to be added to the game, without a brownish or greenish tint.

    I'm confused... That daedric black there looks blue and red, and not black at all.

    There is already black in the game for just beating the main story. I mean you cannot really get more black than that, unless you want to be a black blob of shadow with no defining parts in your armor.

    I don't get the obsession with Legate's black.

    As you can see by the screenshot, Coldharbour Ash Black is a very Dark-Brown colour. Just look at my comparison picture above, where the "Daedric Black" is an outright Black, there does not seem to be a tint in it, it is just the light shining on it.

    The red you see is probably the metal part of it, as all daedric enemies wear a combination of Dark and Red armor. The picture with the Coldharbour Ash Black however, has the Windhelm Steel on, instead of Daedric Red.

    There are worse systems, in swtor you had to either craft or buy the dyes, which were single use. The best colour combos were expensive, and you only had two colours (a lot of the armours had a bad third colour).

    At least with this system I can get a look I like most of the time.

    I know it could be worse . I'm not knocking the game . It could be better too .

    While we're on the subject of dyes...
    Please allow us to revert weapons/shields to previous tier colors. I can't stand the current purple V14 weapons, I'd like it to be the steel color of Lvl 1-26 gear.
    I'm a man of few words. Any questions?

    Actually I do agree, a proper daedric black would be cool. I don't like the way that my Coldharbour Black daedric armour has brown strapping at the sides.

    My comment was a tongue-in-cheek reference to a passage in the Iliad where a Greek and a Trojan warrior square up to each other. The Trojan is a young lad wearing his finest gold armour. The Greek is a seasoned warrior wearing battle-hardened bronze.

    The Trojan laughs at the Greek for having scruffy armour.

    The Greek responds by killing the Trojan and taking the gold off his corpse :)

    I think tying dyes to achievements makes it a better game then what you are suggesting.
