Dye system suggestion

Hi all,

Firstly, I'd like to say thanks for the dye system, it really does add that little extra to the game for those of us that enjoy customization and like to stand out from the crowd. Now everybody won't be running around with the same looking gear.

Also, despite some people moaning, I'm glad you tied the dye system to something that we actually have to work towards over crafting the dye where people would just sell the rare colours for stupid prices. At least now we have something to work for to make our character feel special.

However, I have just one suggestion, please allow us to dye our shields. Weapons I don't mind as they would look silly pink or blue etc, but a shield is different. Shields in this game are classed as armour so why did you not think of allowing us to dye a shield the same way we can with every other piece of armour. Shields even consist of 3 colours like armour does so it'd just be a matter of changing them.

I want my shield to match the rest of the gear I'm wearing, not be forced to a certain colour just because it's X lvl and Y quality, there is nothing worse then spending the time to make our armour look nice, just to have a big shield on our back that throws it all out.

Thanks again.

    I agree, I'd like to see some customization to weapons too, but I don't personally feel they are as much as an issue probably because most of them are so not as visible. But what I meant was for weapons, in my opinion, I feel there should be some restrictions on weapon dyes as I'd hate to see people running around to a massive two handed bright pink/yellow/blue weapon.

    Yeah top lvl weapons are currently blue, but at least they are not over the top colours.

    But yeah, please let us dye weapons and shields!

    I have report that in french update 1.3.2 .
    Shield are 1/3 of what ppl look on player ,in his back or when he block.Why there is nothing to modify it with dye?
    It is something it must be in update.
    If i want to make a white knight ,i will be pretty ridiculous with my blue giant shield.

    It is only a must have.

    I concur, finding that I couldn't dye my shield to match my armor was a big disappointment. I do appreciate the dye system in general and I like that the colors are unlocked by achievements (now they have a purpose), but how does such an integral piece of a player's armor get overlooked? Hopefully it will be addressed in a soon to be released update.

    I completely agree. I was rather shocked that the shield wasn't included from the start considering that it is already classified as armor and it's a Large part of what you see of your character. It's very disappointing to not have it match.

    If anything I would have expected even more customization for the shield, something like the guild tabard customization. I mean... when you think about heraldry and shields in the past, it seems like a natural choice to identify yourself on your shield.

    Agreed...my shield is a big part of both my play style and my character's "look." Currently, my vanilla VR10 Breton style shield looks jarringly out of place on my freshly dyed white/gold armor color scheme.

    Along with the Shields they need to add the Quivers. If you are going to do something don't do it half arse. How much harder would it of been to have Shields and the Quivers included with the Armor.
