ETA on weapon dying?

waterfairy · July 2016

I buy the faction CP 160 weapons just to have normal looking colors...I hate the rubedite red enough to have inferior weapons or those that don't suit my build.

Why are pink swords considered bad when you create the most *** rainbow armor already?

Probably the same as a bright red or bright blue sword to be honest. The only difference is that for some reason ZOS decided to have bright blue and bright red metals, I doubt the decision was based on scientific principles. But I am open to being convinced on that.

On the otherhand there's no reason alloys don't exist with the same properties ..... new crafting skill metallurgy ?

The arguments in this thread are inconsistent with the facts. We have armor and shields that can be dyed completely different colors regardless of what metal they are made of. I don't see why it is an issue for the Developers, or even why it's being debated. Seems to me like an easy future DLC

And that's what most are fearing that weapon dyes will be like costume dyes be only available via ESO+ or crown store which would just be a horribly horribly idea since ZoS keeped saying that weapon dyes would be added. Shortly after armor then with shield dyes then shortly after shields then with costumes and now they are "debating" about it.

I just was a simple Skyrim steel colored greatsword that's all to much to ask for ZoS ?

If I am not careful, I die because of weapons all the time.

More on topic, I am not in favor of coloring the metal weapons. Hilts and handles, yes, and staves and bows, too. The metal part of swords, daggers, axes, and so forth, nope. They stay the color they are today.

So then, according to your line of thinking, then our METAL armor should also not be dyeable. Because, since the weapons are made out of EXACTLY THE SAME metal, it wouldn't make ANY logical sense that we could dye our metal armor but not our metal weapons.

A couple ESO Lives ago they said they were still having heated debate about it internally.
heated debates ? really ? what are they debating ? everything else is dyable and can be made to look either ridiculous or epic. bright red metal swords maces axes and bright red WOOD staves definetly fall into the epic category in ZOS's eyes i take it ?

This pretty much confirms every ZOS employee is a dirty argonian lover or a mead drunkard.... because you know cuz the pact is red :P . ( i like the dark elves so they get no abuse )

Theyre debating if they can somehow monetize it - if yes, the suits will let them implement it, otherwise no weapon dyes.

honestly at this point i dont care if they monetize it like constume dyes as long as we get it

Please, no! I want to choose my colors not be forced to choose from a palette.

We dye or metal armors just fine there is absolutely zero reason to need a metallurgy explanation.

Yeah, Rubidite weapons look ridiculous, in general. There's ways to skirt around it, like using glass weapons, but that red... it doesn't look like a metal. It reminds me of those plastic accessories that came with toys. The manufacturer would be too cheap to paint them, so you'd get things like bright orange or red swords. The sculpt may have been fantastic, but there was always that color.

I total agree with you on this thing is if for example Rubidite is intend alloy then weapon should have the color at all i hope we can in near future color the weapon but i would say that dye should be metal color on blades

Majic · July 2016

I want to be able to dye weapons so I can dye them crazy colors like Rubedite Red.

Short answer
No ETA

NateAssassin · July 2016

But I like pink swords, they express myself, by saying "Pink doesn't mean it isn't manly"

The messages in that thread pertain to the arguments in this one. Supplemental reading.

I love that in the case of a purely glamour idea like this, people against it simply don't rationalize that they won't use the the system. They insist no one else should be allowed to do so either for no better reason then they feel their opinion is so valid that all others are inferior and do not deserve consideration.

Yes, but we still have to see the horribly stupid dyed weapons of others. Cant turn that off.

Also, your coment on opinons seems more like projection to me...

Hence the comment I added at the beginning

limit the color palette

Hence my earlier suggestion:

"For all those who hate color on anything, why not add an option in the settings to turn off other player's dye choices in total? That way everyone can be all grey/black/pale ghost to fit your taste."
